Die For Something Beautiful

Chapter Eight

                                                                                    Recap
         "Wow, I wonder if there's anyone else that I know that is a vampire."

         All of a sudden, the door opens and in walks...
                                                                                     *~*~*~*
                                                                                Amara's POV
         Emily.

         My best friend, Emily walks through the door. What is she doing here? This doesn't make any sense. She doesn't know anything about the boys' secret. Or, well she shouldn't. She hasn't seen me yet and walks over to the three boys. They talk for a few minutes before Remington points over at me. Emily turns and finally sees me, shock event in her face. She walks over to me and takes a seat.

           "Amara what are you doing here?" She asks me somewhat cautiously.

            "What am I doing here? I should be the one asking you that! Why are you here Emily? How did you find out about this place? I just found out about this place."

             "I know about this place because I sometimes stay here." Emily says quietly.

              "If you stay here than that means that you are..."

              "Yes Amara. It means that I am a vampire. I'm sorry that I kept it from you. I was going to tell you, eventually."

               "Were you? Were you really going to tell me?"

               She looks at me before replying, "Yes I was. When the time felt right. Or when I absolutely had no other choice. Which seems to be the case."

                I can't deny that I am a little upset that she didn't tell me sooner but deep down, I know she meant no harm. She's still my best friend, regardless of her state of mortality.

               "Ok, I forgive you. You better not be hiding anything else from me." We continue to talk and hang out. I glance around to find Rem but I couldn't find him or his brothers anywhere.

               "Have you guys seen the boys? They seem to have disappeared." I ask the small group.

               "They went to go talk to someone privately I think. I'll go check on them for you." Emily says while getting up from the table. She walks out the door and I turn back to Karina and Alex.

                                                                                 Emily's POV
               I walk into the private meeting room that is next to the main meeting room. The three boys are there as well as Kaden and Em.

              "What is going on in here? Why'd you guys disappear?" I ask the Palaye boys.

              "Kaden was just informing us that there was another attack." Sebastian said grimly.

             "Oh. Well then fill me in."

              Kaden looks at me and fills me in. "An unknown, human girl was found completely drained. But that's not all. There was a skull with a crescent moon carved into it found with it. Along with a card with the words 'noctu-morte' written on it."

           That's unsettling to say the least. Who can be doing this? I have no idea who can be doing this. As if reading my mind, Emerson speaks up,"It seems that 'noctu-morte' is what these rouges are calling themselves. We still don't know their motive."

           We continue to talk for a few more minutes before returning to the other room. I stop Remington from going into the room so I can speak to him privately for a second.

           "Remington wait a minute. There's something I need you to do. Well, not do."

            "What is it Emily?"

             "Don't tell Amara what happened in the meeting room. She just found out about the 'Big Secret' we all have, well most of it, and knowing about these attacks will freak her out even more."

             "Yeah, you are probably right. The last thing I want to do is to scare her even more."

             We walk back into the main meeting room. Remington walks up to Amara. I go and talk to Sebastian before leaving The Underground.

                                                                                Amara's POV
          I feel a hand on my shoulder. I look up and see Remington and I smile. Every time I look at him or into his eyes, I feel complete. I get this warm, fuzzy feeling deep inside and my heart flutters in my chest.

          "Are you ready to go? I can take you back to your place. Maybe we can order some pizza or something and watch a movie." Rem says with a smile.

           "That sounds like a great idea. Let's go."

Hi guys. Here's the next chapter. I'm not sure how I feel about this chapter but I didn't want to make you guys wait any longer for a new chapter. I'm going through some stuff right now so that's probably why I don't really like it and it was posted a bit later than planned. We finally learn something about the rouge vampires! And Amara learned that her best friend was hiding a secret. Dun dun Dunn!!! Hopefully the next chapter will be up sooner than this one one was. Don't forget to vote and comment! 😊💜
