Book 2: The Damphyr Protector: 9th Grade Is Brutal (Squal to 8th Grade FanFic)

Chapter 2: Let the Party Begin

On the day of the party I was shopping for some cups for the drinks and everything for the party, I may hate getting things in the last minute but was soon bumped into a familiar face along the way.

"Well if it isn't little Ms.Wicked~" the voice said behind me.

I turn to see who it was at both ends of my smile gleam with joy.

"Grandfather Enrico!" I laugh with glee and ran over to him hugging him tightly.

"I didn't know you were you were back from Spain already,shouldn't," I told him.

"Now why would I miss my little flower's birthday? Plus to see your finally a freshmen in high school" He smiled.

I blushed from embarrassment, he says it so easily but yet I have a hard time believing and saying it myself. I was finally turning 15 which I guess on my father side is a big deal since they never had a "norm" before. (Which stands for a normal aging vamp or should I say half vamp! XD) I walk with Enrico home only to find Dorian nowhere to be found once again. I shouldn't be around when Vlad is around but on my birthday of all days...I can't complain about that.

Some people started to arrive at the party, some from school and good old friends, soon after Grandfather came down he started to introduce himself to my friends and teachers. What made it weird for me was that my friends who were girls had a major crush on him which freaked me out. It was still summer and the last thing I wanted to see was that. I decided to wait outside for other people to come in for the party. The hot breeze flew my way as I look up at the colorful red sky. The things I've been through during middle school I will never forget, there the type of memories that can't be easily forgotten...especially the family I lost....but I learned from them for what I am. A witch with incredible power that can put match a vampire....then again I am half one. I still have so much to research upon my parents history, I'm still reading the journal from my mother, to think she can fit so much of her memories in this thing is incredible. More importantly though I get to be with Vladimir...the crush of my dreams.

As I stand out there daydreaming grandfather come out.

"Bella? Why you not inside? We're out to bring out the cake." He asked softly.

Enrico just visit me and great grandfather since he has to deal with Isaiah and Emily, Vlad's youngest looking but oldest grandmother. I tried to ask for more information bout her but I have Isaiah to worry about. Ever since our last encounter he hasn't left alone since.

"Grandpa...sorry I just needed some fresh air and think to myself", I said as I smile.

He smiled back and hugged me as he kissed my head. He reminded me of uncle...he would always kiss my head when I go to sleep or go to school, even when I was in middle school. I miss him dearly. Every week or so I always pay a visit to him at his grave. I would ever sit in front of his tomb and talk for hours. I could still feel his presence about me each time I visit.

"My bella...you shouldn't be alone out here, how about I join you?", he asked.

"I would love that, thanks" I said as we sat on the bench on the front porch.

We talked for a bit as the sky starts to get dark, I suddenly had a special visitor at our door step. 

"Happy Birthday Wicked" a gentle voice spoke out.

When I looked over my heart instantly dropped in my stomach. The girl that Vlad...Meredith,had his eye before he even met me showed up on the porch with a present at hand.

"Hello again, Vlad invited me over. I wanted to say sorry for the attitude towards you last time, and I wanted to make it up to you some how." She says so innocently.

Honestly I don't want her forgiveness, if anything I want her to stay away from me and especially away from Vlad. At last though, it's not my call. The same time I can't even date Vlad at all, we're technically secret lovers, but one day I have to let go.

"Well isn't that nice bella?" grandfather says.

At the same time I want to kick her out but also I want grandfather to see my bad side. So sadly I had to accept her forgiveness and present and let her in. I signed sadly as Enrico runs a hand through my hair.

"My dear bella...it's best to make friends then have none...come, the cake will be lit soon" He says smiling.

Grandfather will always be there to make me smile, and will always make me happy along with Great-grandfather. I only hope at some point I can live happily the way I want it to be. Me and Enrico walked back inside as Great-grandfather Dorian came out with a wicked cool scary birthday cake, the design even turned out the way I wanted. As he pulled me to the side he made his little speech which was silly and then told me to make a big wish. I closed my eyes and thought for a moment or two, after that...I blow out the candles...that my wish would be...be able to be with Vlad one day.
