A RIPTIDE • DEMETRI VOLTURI

This is Impossible Prt. Two

The next morning Ryleigh woke up by her cellphone. She reached out and slapped around her bedside table looking for the phone.

She finally found it and hit answer. "What?"

"Was last night a dream or did it really happen?" Came Cleo's frantic voice. Ryleigh pulled the phone away from her ear to check the time.

6:17am. She groaned annoyed.

"You really called me at 6:17 in the morning to talk about something, we will be discussing in like two hours. Are you for real?"

Cleo sighed through the phone. "I couldn't sleep and I'm freaking out."

Ryleigh sighed and rubbed her face. "Why?"

"They're vampires!" She whisper-shouted through the phone. Ryleigh rolled her eyes. Yes, we've already established this. "And were supposedly their soul mates! I don't know about you but that freaks me out! They drink blood and kill people!"

Ryleigh sighed. "Just relax until we go back to Emma's. We can go to the Juice Net when it opens and you can rant when I'm not half asleep. Sound good?"

Cleo nodded, Ryleigh could tell. "See you in an hour."

Ryleigh hung up and sighed. She threw the covers off of her body, exposing her bare legs. She sat up and stretched, satisfied when she heard her back crack.

She got up and made her way down the stairs to where the coffee was.

She walked in the kitchen, completely ignoring her brother who watched amused as she didn't relax until she had her first sip of coffee with White Chocolate creamer.

"Good Morning." Ethan said as he looked at the newspaper sipping his own coffee.

"Morning."

"Long night?" Ethan asked raising his eyebrow.

She just nodded.

Ethan frowned jumping to the worst conclusions. "I thought we were done with that phase." Ryleigh froze as she was about to take a sip. Did he just say that?

Ethan noticed his sister freeze up. He thought she did something again. What is he going to do with her?

Ryleigh sat her cup down and let out out a humorous laugh. "Did I or did I not say I would quit doing that?"

Ethan nodded, hesitantly.

"Then why would you even suggest that? Have I ever broke a promise to this family?"

Ethan shook his head, defeated.

"Then start believing your sister and stop pointing fingers." With that she stalked back upstairs to her room, ignoring Ethan's calls for her to come back.

She slammed her bedroom door, annoyed.

She walked over to her private bathroom and slammed that door too.

She sighed as she started brushing her teeth.

These past twenty four hours have taken a toll on her and the girls.

She put in her makeup and curled her hair into it's normal waves.

She walked back into her room, going straight to her closet. She looked around before heading to her dresses/rompers.

She pulled out a random outfit and threw on some shoes to match.

She walked out of her room and down the stairs exiting her Qhouse and making her way to the Juice Net.
