My Vampire Twin

Chapter 23 - Just Try

(A/N: This is only a filler chapter. I, myself, got bored just by writing this. But still, enjoy!)

Cyrus' POV

After the shenanigans that happened and the introduction, she smiled and then her eyes rolled and soon after that she passed out. I caught her before she hit the ground and then we heard a couple of horns being blown.

"Mom we need to leave now." I said and threw Alexandra over my shoulder again which made my Mom laugh.

"I think you're very fond of how you carry your sister." She said before we started running.

I breathed on every step that I make. "If Ash doesn't get here soon, I'm going to have to drag Celina home." I said in a humorous manner but my Mother didn't take it quite well, she gave me a death glare which sent chills down my spine.

"That better be a joke Cyrus Alexander or I'll be the one who will drag you home while your sister sleeps peacefully on Ash's back." She said which made me nod and apologize.

Soon enough, a black dragon came down from the sky. She lowered herself in order for us to climb on top of her quickly.

We both let out a deep breath before looking at my drooling sister.

"We finally got her." She said gently and brushed a piece of hair from Celina's face.

I sighed and smiled. "After all those years of training, I didn't think that it'll be just like that to take her." I said which made me froze. I looked at my mother to see her glaring at me again.

"Even if you just had to pick her up, learning to fight is essential." She proudly said which reminded me of her being the Vampire Goddess and all.

I just sighed and nodded.

The flight was calming. The cold wind brushed through my skin but I didn't seem to feel any cold. I breathed deeply and smiled.

"Do you think that everything will be okay from now on?" I asked while I stretched my arms out. Mom held Celina in her arms like a newborn baby, I could tell that she will never let her out of her sight or let her out of her arms again, but she's a teenager now, I can tell that she doesn't need any protecting anymore. But come to think of it, I easily took her from that place, so maybe she needs a guard or something?

Mom shook her head and cuddled my sister gently. "It's not yet over. They'll come and look for her." She said and frowned. "They took her for a reason and I could tell that whatever that reason is, they still haven't used her yet." She said which made my chest tightened.

I didn't say anything else.

A few hours had already passed and it's already night time, but I can't seem to let my sister out of my sight. It's like when I do, I feel like she'll be gone again in an instant. I think I'm having a major sister-complex. But I don't care! I don't want to lose my sister!

"We're here." Mom said and soon after, Ash dove and a few seconds later, we had gracefully landed.

We were greeted by a tearful welcome. Grandma, Aunt Casey and Aunt May was waiting for us outside while Dad, Grandpa, Uncle Aiden and Uncle Mark just got out of the forest. They soon joined us before we could get off of Ash.

Grandma tearfully stepped in front and wiped her tears away, she didn't say a word, she just stood there and watched us get Celina off of Ash.

When I got off, Mom motioned for me to get my sister but I was beat!

"Dad get her." I whispered which made Dad turn to me with confusion.

"You only spent a couple of hours with her and now you're ditching her?" he said with full of confusion.

I chuckled. "Just try carrying her!" I said and nudged him towards Ash. He glared at me before opening his arms to reach Celina that is being lowered by my Mom.

"Why is she asleep?" Thana asked when she mysteriously showed up. "Did you knock her out?" She said which pissed me off.

I turned to her and held my fist in front of her. "Lay off or you're the one who's going to be knocked out!" I said which made her smile. She unfolded her crimson wings and flew off. I sighed when I saw her figure disappear but when I looked closer to her trail, I saw a couple of water drops that fell before it hit the ground.

I heard Dad let out a breath when she finally got Celina. "You'll pay for this." He said before taking her inside.

I gave him an apologetic smile before he got in.

Soon enough, Mom slid down on Ash's wings and as soon as her feet touched the ground, she was knocked down by Aunt Casey's hug.

"You had me worried!" Aunt Casey exclaimed once Celina was out of range. "I didn't know what was happening!" She exclaimed further which made Mom laugh.

"Relax!" Mom said while she tried to get Aunt Casey off her. "It was a bit emotional so I only mind linked Xander to let him know that we have her. We were supposed to meet at someplace but we got held up." Mom said which made all those who watched and listened to their conversation confused, except for me, I was there obviously.

"Celina fought Cyrus so except of meeting each other at the location that we all had agreed to, I came to them and tried to calm her down. She passed out a few seconds after I introduced myself and told her some things that I know about her." Aunt Casey soon understood and so she got up and offered her hand to Mom, Mom took it and Aunt Casey helped her get up.

Grandma cleared her throat and covered mom with a blanket. "You must be very tired, dear. Go ahead and rest. Xander already put Celina to hers." She said which my mom answered with a smile and a nod. Soon after, Grandma and Aunt May came over to me. Aunt May handed me a blanket as well.

"You did a great job retrieving your sister." Aunt May said with a proud smile.

Grandma hugged me tightly. "Thanks for bringing your sister back to us!" She cheered and giggled. "Now, how about we make you dinner?" She said which my stomach gladly answered with a growl. Both of them went inside laughing while I remained where I was standing.

I took a deep breath and looked at the moon above.

I closed my eyes, feeling the cold air brush through me, I remembered the water droplets that appeared in Thana's tracks, and I felt guilty. She was crying. I knew she did her best to hide it but in the end she failed.

I think I need to make it up to her the next time I see her, but for now. I have to keep my guard up to whatever's going to come and get my sister from us again, but this time, we'll be prepared.
