Forbidden love...(on hold)

Part three...

It was a week after and Jager still hadn’t shown up again, not that I blame him with all this protection around me. The Best solution I have is my being changed and Nate is not letting me decide. Tomorrow is my 17th birthday. All I have to do is go to bed, and oh Ya not be kidnapped. That morning I awoke I got up and changed but before I could go down stairs I heard a familiar song “the birthday of a million dreams” my dad wrote it and sang it to me every birthday before he died. I looked out the window Nate was sitting on my windowsill with white roses “Morning birthday girl, how did you sleep?” I smiled “you tell me dream boy!”   

   “You’ll never change will you!” he said. I pondered this for a moment then snatched the roses “I wouldn’t count on it!” he rolled his eyes “go down stairs” I told him. 

He went and I walked out the door after him. 

     As I walked in to the living room I note the presents and family. Nate walks over to me, hands me a stack of birthday cards, and says “these you can open now.” So I did, there where cards from family and friends wishing me a happy birthday and/or just giving me money and then there’s the one the bottom from Nate with a simple message:

   I have talked with Shane and Kevin your wish will come true at midnight as long as you enrolle in Mingus.

                                                                                          Love you, 

                                                                                           Nathan Jones

     I looked up with a surprised expression on my face he just smiled. He knew that I would do it Mingus is a vampire and human high school I was going to go there but was being stubborn as hell about it, it was the only school in the area that took vampires without a single fear.

    Twelve hours and 70 presents later Nate drags me to the roof Shane following closely behind us. “Lizzy there’s something I have to tell you.” Said Nate in a shaky voice.

    “What is it?” I asked worried  

He looked over at Shane and begins to speak “Do you remember Kevin’s 19 birthday party?”

    “Yes” I was intrigued now.

   “Well there’s something you don’t remember, at the party someone tried to poison me with… vampthic, but it only made me really quite drunk. I kind of passed out after that.”

   “When my dad and I came home we found out that Nate had bitten himself and you,” Shane said “you where drunk curled up in his arms, since you are deathly allergic we knew that we had to get it out of your blood system soon. We didn’t know what had happened just the fact that you where bitten and Nate had done it.”

    “Then what happened?” I asked.

    “Shane gave me anti-drug, for vampires only, and told me to take the poison out…… that’s when we found out that you where half- vampire and I increased it by giving you my blood in exchange for what I took.” Said Nate.

   “Why didn’t you tell me this before?” I asked him with a slight smile.

  “Because I thought you’d hate me for it.” He answered.

  “No, Nate I love you,” I said giggling, “always have,” I paused to take his hands in mine “and I always will that will never change.”

  “Guys its time you have to do it at exactly midnight 2 1/2 minutes from now.” said Kevin from the doorway.

  We went down to the living room was empty except for my unwrapped presents and  Nick, May, Nancy, Gregory, Shane, my two brothers Chris and William, and most horribly Jill my step cousin a member of the most powerful vampires. I was pissed.
