KRISTEN'S POV

    Finally that dagger came into use. I felt bad reviving Zac's past. I could see that he hated remembering it all over again. I could tell by the pain flashed on his face. And all of it was my fault. I shouldn't have asked him at all.
         First time in my life, I curse my curiousity for hurting someone. Ouch, I bang into some one and fall down. Hey! I come into reality. I had banged into Chris and I, being absent minded had reached in his room. He laughs and gives me his hand. I accept it with a glare. "Considering your curiousity did something, what happened to Zac?" He asked. He was reading my mind again, right?
        "He is regretting over Katherine." I say, not wanting to go in details. "What?" Suddenly the mood in the room changed. "Yeah, he seemed pretty attached to her." I shrugged, but from the inside I felt bad. "because they were best friends and... he blames himself for her death." He added the last part little slowly.  Wait! What? I thought because he lost the love of his life.
           Chris laughs. "Even his friends thought the same. They even tried to set them up together but they never had feelings for each other." Oh! but that still did not let my guilt go away. Infact it had made it worse. But wait! "How do you know?" I ask suspiciously. I thought Katherine died a long time ago before Chris was born also. How do I know? Well, the dagger told me... Nah, I'm kidding. I just got the feeling.. through the dagger.
          "Well, because he used to tell me stories about her. After a  few years, he never mentioned anything about her ever again. That's when I realized the reason for his behavior." Oh! "You know what? You should go talk to him. Check if he is fine." I tell, as my worry increases. I hope this does not go into the extreme.  I've heard that the emotions of a vampire are heightened 10 times. Being an original pureblood, I don't know how much more...

ZAC'S POV

   After she leaves, I put my head between my legs, my face in my hands. Tears were escaping quickly. I couldn't stop them. Am I that guilty? I close my eyes as the reality turns black. Suddenly a bright, godly light had faded in. My eyes hurt as they try to adjust their vision with the surrounding.  I see Katherine, with her aura so powerful and divine.
      She looked the same as I could remember . She was wearing her favourite dress, the green one and her curly hair was let loose. She gave her  giggle which I terribly missed. She looked like an angel even though she felt quite humanly. "Kat?" I call out to her. I was scared that it might just not be true. "Hello, Zac." She says, giggling. "What are you doing here?  I thought you were dead." I say, frantically.
          "I am, dear. It's just I had to deliver a message." I could feel the gentleness in her voice as she smiles "So now you are just apparition?" I didn't want it to be true. I wanted all of this to be prank and the next moment she appears to tell me she is back. "Kind of. Not completely." She pauses then continues.
         "Zac, I came to say that move on. Don't regret like it's your fault." "I can't, Kat. It is my fault. I feel like I betrayed you. You were always there for me when I needed you... If I could just do the same for you, then you would be alive today." These words just gush out of my mouth in anger.
       It was my fault. She has all the rights to blame me. Then why does she keep denying the fact? "No, Zac. It was gonna happen anyway. I couldn't live that life anymore. I couldn't live the pain. This was the only way for my freedom." She was trying to reason with me. I just nod, since I could not find immediate words.
          "All I'm going to say is that I'm very much alive. Just don't search for me cause you will never be able to. Just know that I'm near by, ok?" I nod as the tears fall faster. Yes, I'm still in the regret mood. "And last thing, Move on. Move on for me. If not that, then move on for her." Her voice began to fade and so did she. No don't go! I-I still have questions. "Bye, Zac! Remember I'm always there for you." Her last words. After that, I could hear her shouting  "Zac!" again and again.
        I opened my eyes. I see Chris was sitting beside me. "Hey!" I try saying it normally. "What happened?" He asks. I know he was worried by the expression he wore. "Nothing!" I smile. From now on I was going  to take her advice. I was finally going to move on. Was this the right thing to do? I could feel the breeze whisper 'yes'. Now I know this wasn't just a dream but it definitely meant something more.

CHRIS'S POV

    Something is really up with Zac. Katherine is a very 'Touchy' subject for him. So whenever some one says anything reminding him about her, he would lock himself up in his room and start his regretting program. And it used to be my job, to set his mood right. But today, was something different. When Kristen brought the topic up, he wasn't doing what he usually does. He seemed... Ok. Need to ask what magic has she used on him. So it could help me too when he becomes like... you know what I mean.
         "You ok?" I ask, with some concern. "Yes, Chris. I'm fine!...I know you're feeling awkward. But I have come up with a new decision in life. I have decided to move on. I'm not gonna regret it anymore." I was shocked. Are you serious? God, this is good news. I really need to ask her what did she say to him which changed his mind all of a sudden? What I couldn't do from centuries, she did it in a day... Actually a few hours.
        "And no, Kristy hasn't told me anything. I just had a thought about it." Guess he knows how his best friend works. "Wish he could realize it a little bit earlier." I murmur.
       I knew he heard it. Because right after that, he wishes the same. I guess he is gonna stop his dagger hunting. All these years, he felt so guilty that he went in search of his dagger. Thank god, he couldn't find it. He even asked a witch to help him. And all he came to know is that his dagger was in front of him yet he would never find it. He puts a dagger aside and goes out. I follow out. I knew the dagger wasn't his because of the colour of the stone. His favourite colour was blue and the stone was black, Katherine's favourite colour.

   We go to the hall where the rest were sitting watching TV. Kristen looks at Zac and then at me. 'What magic did you do?' Her thoughts spoke to me for the first time. 'I didn't do anything. Was gonna ask you the same though.' Her thoughts had a confused flow. 'What do you mean?' 'He decided to stop blaming himself for her death. That's what exactly happened.' 'Oh, that sounds great.' She smiles. God, I truly love her smile.
        Her thought continued. 'After all I am so great. Only when I come, things happen.' She pretended to show off. 'This time I'm not gonna disagree.' I thought humbly. 'Otherwise you would?' I nod with a smile. She gives her cute little pout. 'Stop that!' I mentally shout. 'Stop what?' Her brow raised. 'Stop making those cute faces. Can't you say that it melts all of us?' She smirks. 'Thanks for the idea.' I shake my head and Ash goes to the kitchen. I could see Ash's plan of making something special for Kristen and I smile. But soon I hear a  voice in my head. Now what did I do?
              "Hey! So what were the love birds talking about?" It was Zac. I gave him a weird look. "What? I saw you guys look at each other so I figured out you guys must be talking in your thoughts." He shrugged. "Oh! We were talking about you." "Me?" I know he looked a little surprised. According to him, it will be like 'why the hell were they talking about me?'
         I refused to look at him as I was busy watching TV. "Well, she was concerned about you. That's why!" His eyes narrowed. "Chris, that's not the complete truth." I continued as if he never interrupted. "and I gave her an idea." "Seriously, Chris?" I nod. I know Zac wants me to tell Kristen how I feel about her. But I can't make him understand that the time is not right. "Chris, I don't know what to do with you."

 KRISTEN'S POV

    Today the day went pretty fast and Curly had made this amazing dish. It was called chocolate cake-a-licious. It was made in the form of roses. It looked so beautiful that I refused eat it until someone took a picture of it. And when I finished it, Walt deleted the picture. Oh My God, I was so angry with him that I sat on the couch, pouting and not ready to talk to anyone unless they get my picture back. I was hoping that this magic could work just as Chris had said. It wasn't working because they were literally laughing. Laughing at me. So I walked out to my room. Not even 2 minutes were over, there was a knock on my door. I still didn't say anything. Someone entered. I didn't look at him, who ever he was. "I'm sorry, Babe." It had to be Walt. Only he calls me babe.
           I turned to the otherside. He put his hand on my shoulder. I pushed it away. "Hey! Hey! Here take your picture." I turn to face him. He had the camera in the other hand and there was my picture. I smile. Glad that my pout worked its magic. I gladly took it. "And may I ask what are you going to do with it?" He asks with a smile. "Posting it on FB." His eyebrow arched. "I thought you never had friends on your account." It was true. At the moment, it was family and the band. "Well, who said I was posting it on my profile. I'm posting it on your page." "Ok!" and he walked out. I posted the pic and laid down on my bed. Only to find myself asleep...
