Descendents 2

Chapter Nine: Points Of View

Tuesday, 12:30am (Aria's P.O.V)

I was sound asleep until I heard knocking at my window. It was probably David. He must have known that once I get home, I'll drink the second blood bag under my bed. I get up and walk up to my window. I open it but he's not there. On my window sill, there are 2 blood bags. AB+. I take them and close the window. I put both under my bed and get back under the covers. I don't know what me and David are anymore. A couple? Friends? Enemies? Two people that hate each other? Two people mad at each other? I decided not to think about it.

I was in my bed, safe and warm. Nothing could ruin that. Not David. Not Ben. I chose what my Descendent self thought was right. Freedom from Ben and time alone from David. I'm just a Descendent right now, safe and warm under my covers. Invincible and maker-free. Maybe things will be okay. It doesn't matter that Lisa is a vampire. That Laurel and Aleks are wolfs. That nothing in my life was normal anymore. At least I wasn't depressed because of boredom. I had an actual reason now to be depressed. A death. Nothing that I wanted before seemed realistic anymore. Someone special.

12:30am (David's P.O.V)

I knocked on the window and left the blood bags. I didn't want to talk with her. She needed space right now and so did I. I went up to her roof, the last time I was up here I wished she would kiss me. Kiss me like on that night we ran from Jordan and his pack of mutts. So much has changed since then. Her hair and behavior. Kate changed and now she was dead.

Aria's brother moved here and now he probably wanted to move out. Jordan and his wolf pack are dead. I walked home and once I got there, I thought about what I would tell my father about Kate. Then I turned the knob and walked in. He was sitting on the sofa, wearing glasses and reading a newspaper in the darkness.

"Dad?" I said and my voice cracked.

"What is it son?" he said.

"Kate's dead" I say, the words finally making it feel real.

He put down the newspaper and looked at me in disbelief. Then I sat down next to him and told him everything.

12:30am (Ben's P.O.V)

I couldn't believe I actually listened to Aria and left. I should have stayed, stayed there next to Kate. But I couldn't, when Aria yelled at me and said all those things. I can't stay here. I have to persuade my family to move. I can't live here knowing all that's happened and our families might eventually come across each other. I can't do this to Aria and stay. I have to leave.

12:30am (Laurel's P.O.V)

Yesterday I killed my boyfriend. The one that turned me into a wolf. The one I loved. I had to, he was crazy. He wanted to kill my best friend and I couldn't let that happen. There was no other way. Now I was home, in my bed. Aria has made me the only wolf allowed in Fang Club, but why would I go back? Just to see her? Every time I would step a foot inside that building, I would remember killing Jordan. I'm going to still be best friends with Aria, but I never wanna go to Fang Club again.

12:30am (Lisa's P.O.V)

Yesterday was crazy. We killed all the wolfs from Jordan's pack, his own girlfriend killed him and Kate got bit. It was all to protect Aria. That quiet girl from I.S.383 was a Descendent. How come she always went to lunch? When did she feed? How could she have acted so normal and I had to hide? I need to find out, have her teach me. I want her and me to be closer friends. I'm going to be her right hand at Fang Club, make her trust me. I'll be somebody, she'll make me a somebody.

12:30am (David and Kate's Father P.O.V)

I couldn't believe this. One of my children dead. She died trying to protect the Descendent she created. First my wife and now this. Last time when my wife had died, I turned off my emotions from despair. Kate made me turn them back on. She was always the one who made either me or David turn emotions back on and now she's gone.

"Dad.....you can't turn off your emotions. Not this time. You and me have to make it through this" David said.

"Don't worry son, I won't. That's not what Kate would want me to do. Turn everything off and leave you. I promise you, I'll never do such a thing" I said.

12:30am (Aleks's P.O.V)

So, I wasn't the only super natural freak in town. My best friend, Aria, was a vampire. A descendent. Her maker died and she was having problems with her brother, who I never even heard of, and boyfriend. Her boyfriend was also a vampire. She came to me for comfort and I decided to be her therapist. I will help her make decisions when she can't or doesn't know what to do. She needs me and I wanna be there for her. I'll try my best.
