My Vampire Twin

Chapter 44 - Familiar Faces

(A/N: I'm not going to be able to post the chapter on Saturday so I posted it a little bit earlier. I'm going be a bit busy for the next few days so here is the update for Saturday! Enjoy!)

Celina's POV

"That was fun!" I said happily once Thana and I exited the limo with shopping bags full of clothes.

She giggled and closed the door behind her with a few shopping bags of her own. "I'd like to spend some time with you again, but next time, let's go someplace new and just explore." She said and walked up to me.

I nodded as we walked side by side with smiles plastered on our faces.

I looked up at the sky and sighed. "We were gone for the whole day. I hope they weren't as worried as I hoped they'd be." I said which made Thana giggle.

"I can almost see the look on your brother's face when we walk through that door." Thana said as we both laughed and made out way to the front door.

We smiled at each other before Thana held the door knob and twisted it to open.

But I do hope that we didn't make them worry, it's my first time going out since I came here after all. I'm still surprised that Mr. Sis-Com didn't join us aside from that overprotective side of his.

Thana pushed the door open.

My eyes widened as we were welcomed by two of the too familiar faces that I didn't hope to see for the rest of my life.

My mouth hung open as Thana slowly shut it for me. She looked at me with worry, but when she noticed how shocked I was, she figured that it had something to do with the people that were standing a few feet away from us.

She sighed and looked at them with both of her eyebrows crossed. "Who are you?" She eyed them both.

I glared at them as I tugged on Thana's arm. "Shawn and Astrid..." I breathed as an answer for her question.

She looked at me and nodded, turning her head back to them to question them again. "What are you doing here? How did you even get past the guards? Did you see them all?" She glared as Shawn shifted uncomfortably.

"It's hard to miss them." He breathed which earned a death glare from Thana. He cleared his throat and looked at us. "I wanted to see Celina." He said uncomfortably while he looked at me.

I was rather surprised that he knew my real name; it's kind of uncomfortable to be called by that by the person who used to call me by a different name.

Confusing isn't it?

"You wouldn't be here if that wasn't your purpose. But still, how did you get in here?" She said and took a step in front, scaring Astrid that hid her self behind her brother.

He looked at me and started to speak but was stopped by a cough of someone.

"I let them in." Cyrus came into view. "We talked about not having them see you without a family member by your side. But I can see that even if I wasn't here, you were already with a family member." He said and looked longingly at his mate, making me cringe.

I crossed my eyebrows and sighed. "I have had enough of that." I stated and started walking. "I'm going to my room." I said and walked past the unwanted visitors.

"Alexa--" Shawn walked to me and tried to reach out for my arm but in a blink of an eye, Cyrus was standing in front of him while he held his arm to stop it from touching mine.

He glared. "That's Celina." He stated and threw his arm back to him. "Keep that to your self if you don't want to lose it." He threatened which made his mate walk up to him and calm him down.

His facial expression softened the moment Thana touched his arm. "Go with Celina, I'll handle them both." She said and smiled at him.

Cyrus looked down and sighed. "Okay, but link me as soon as one of them does something that they weren't supposed to do." He said as Thana gave him a nod.

I pulled on his arm and glared at them for the last time. "Let's just go." I breathed and dragged him away.

I closed the door behind me as Cyrus walked towards my bed and threw his self on it, groaning as he sunk down. "How did they even find you?" He complained while he ran his hand over his face.

I glared and walked to the bathroom while I still have a little tension plastered on my face. "I can't even believe that you let them in here. I thought you'd understand." I breathed and threw my new clothes in the laundry basket and took the bags away.

I heard him sighed and got up. "Mom insisted..." He breathed.

I walked out of the bathroom and sat on the chair next to my bed. "You could've refused." I crossed my eyebrows and sighed.

He chuckled and shook his head, looking at me. "You know how Mom could be persistent at times, plus, if I don't do as she says, Dad will ground me for a month."

I raised an eyebrow and laughed. "You can still get grounded?" I giggled which made him smirk.

"We can still be grounded."

I pouted and threw my head back with a sigh. "That's unfair." I breathed which made him chuckle.

"Life's not always fair." He said and walked towards me, sitting next to me and breathed. "But we still have them to deal with." He said and crossed his eyebrows with worry. "What do you want to do to them?" He asked and waited for an answer.

I shrugged my shoulders and shook my head. "I don't know." I breathed.

"He did say that he's ready to be rejected if you don't want to see him and that he only wants to see you for even just a bit." He said and smirked. "Well, he did see you so..." He smiled evily and looked at me if I would approve of his sinister plans.

I sighed and closed my eyes. "Knock it off." I breathed. "Did you ask what they wanted?"

"Actually, I did." He said. I looked at him and nodded for him to continue. "He said that they wanted to explain their selves to you."

I crossed my eyebrows and looked down, trying to think of what they wanted to explain. I sighed and smiled at my self. "They want to make a fool out of me again?" I scoffed. "They can just tell Philip that they failed to retrieve me for him." I said which made him chuckled.

"That's what I said, but they insisted on seeing you." He held my hand and looked at me. "You need to keep your guard up. We don't know what those two are planning." He said and sighed. "But, just say the word and I'll send them away. I'll let you decided for your self." He said as he tightened his grip. "But you have to think really hard on what you want to do."

I sighed and nodded. "I'll think about it." I breathed.

He lets go of my hand and stood up. "So, what do you want to do to them for the time being?" He said as he stretched his arms.

"Just keep them out of my sight until I want to see them myself." I said and averted my eyes. I stood up and walked towards my balcony, opening the door and letting the cool air brush gently through my skin.

Cyrus sighed making me turn my head to him.

I raised an eyebrow at him which made him shook his head and smiled weakly. "It's nothing." He chuckled. "I'll go check up on them." He walked to the door as soon as I gave him a nod.

I watched him walk towards the door. He opened it and got out without even turning his head to my direction.

I brushed off the weird feeling that his vibe gave me.

I turned back around and walked outside the balcony and closed my eyes.

And then whispered to myself.

"I want to see him..."

Let me hear what you think!
