Love The Darkness

Persistance {7}

School was rather quick after mine and Camila's confrontation with Sebastian. I quickly learnt that he was now a teacher at the school and he taught in the lessons that Camila and I shared which was History, Spanish, English and French.

Every lesson he was making indirects toward us both and every time he asked a question we were the first he would choose to answer.

I debated whether or not to get Dinah to tell The Count that Sebastian wanted their head but I didn't because that would be stupid on so many levels. First, I would have to actually understand why Sebastian wants Count dead, then I could decide whether to start a war with the vampires and risk losing Camila and trust Sebastian.

Yeah fuck no.

"What are you thinking about?" Dinah asked bringing me from my thoughts. I looked up at her with uncertainty.
"Sebastian has me in a tight spot. He wants something from Camila and I and we aren't giving him it." I explain bluntly. The Count was still on the pack grounds so it would be pretty dumb to blurt out that someone wants them dead.
"Well, What does he want exactly?" Dinah pushed as she put her reading glasses atop her head.

She had summoned me to her office but since I sat down I've had my head in the clouds. I'm still waiting to hear what she wants me for.

"I'm sorry. I can't say, but let's just say it's the most ludicrous thing he could ask of us." I swerve the question quickly and her quickly understands that I can't reveal details.
"I'm here if you need me. Anyway, The Count wants to meet you and Camila along with the other Vamps. She thinks that it would be a good idea for you to interact with your own kind other than Sebastian." I feel my pulse raise a little but I nod anyway and I leave after she explains that I was to go to river bank tomorrow with Camila.

"So let me get this straight. The person Sebastian wants us to kill wants to meet us tomorrow who just so happens to be the oldest and most powerful vampire aside from yourself ever to exist?" Camila established for the second time in five minutes. I pull off my top that I slept in and huffed.
"Yes, fuck. If Sebastian finds out about this meeting not only will he fucking harass us more but he will know that we know what The Count looks like which NOBODY apart from Dinah, the alphas and the other vampires apart from Sebastian." I panic as I pull on a clean top and Camila grabs my hand in hers.

"Babe, if anything this is the perfect chance to see if Count deserves to die or can be trusted." Camila reassures as she cups my cheeks. I feel my nerves calm instantly and I take deep breaths and kiss Camila slowly.
"Your right. Sorry for panicking babe." She smiles lovingly before we leave our bedroom and begin our trek to the river bank.

The walk was quiet and the tension was tense. Camila's grip on my hand was the only thing keeping me from freaking out. The Count not only is the oldest vampire but was the first vampire to ever exist making them a big fucking deal.

I know I'm the Destroyer of Worlds and shit but I reckon fighting The Count would be the hardest thing I'd ever have to do, minus losing Camila. That's the hardest thing I'd ever have to go through PERIOD.

"Lauren Jauregui and Camila Cabello?" A deep voice called out and I looked up ahead to see a  woman there.
"Yeah, who are you?" I say and all of a sudden we were surrounded by five women.
"Well, I'm Natasha Blume, the second youngest vampire, I'm 54 years old." The woman who first spoke to us said.

"The names Billie Eilish and I'm 135." A girl with a metallic type of hair said from behind Camila.
"Bea Miller, 600 years old today." The one closest to my left spoke out.
"Madison Beer, nice to meet you both. I'm 340 years old." The one behind me said.
"Best for last of course. Anyway I'm Rita Ora and I'm 756 years old." The last one spoke.

"Well um, it's nice to meet you Natasha, Billie, Bea, Madison, Rita but if you don't mind me asking why are we here?" I ask with a timid voice. I may be stronger than them all but that doesn't mean that they don't terrify me.
"Well, Count wants to meet you don't they? Plus, we have a offer for you. Please follow us." Billie spoke kindly and guided the group to a small waterfall deep into the Kleinwood forest. The sight was absolutely beautiful and I made a mental note to come back here.

"It's a great pleasure to finally meet you both. I'm The Count." I looked to the top of the waterfall and my mouth fell open.

"Mum?"

Short chapter but LAURENS MUM IS ALIVE, just for a quick explanation of Lauren speech.

She is British but since she's been around American for so long she's caught onto the speech in some parts but when referring to her parents she will almost always say 'Mother' or 'Mum'. With her father she'll either say 'Father' or 'Mike'.

Anyways, I'll be uploading soon byeee see you in the next chapter!!!
