Chapter 21

On the plane ride back, the two parents thought about the seating arrangements for a moment. The pairs of chairs that existed in first class. Due to the more murderous nature of Finn, Kriss volunteered to sit next to Anders. She tried her best to ignore him as he clearly enjoyed the benefits of first-class for the first time. Kriss tried to pay attention to the movie but her vampire ears wandered to the conversation between Haydee and Finn.

"Are you just never going to talk to me again besides to yell at me?" Haydee asked him. Finn didn't say anything for a moment and Kriss heard him readjust in his seat.

"I don't fall for British accents?" he asked her and Kriss smirked.

"It wasn't the accent," she said, "You don't know him as I do."

"You never gave us the chance to.:

"Uncle Nik would've ripped his heart out for just touching me. Then again for putting me in danger in the first place. I'm still worried he might."

"That vampire ever hurts you again, you don't have to worry about my brother."

"You can't protect me forever." Finn was moved to silence again but recovered quickly.

"Yes, I can. I'm immortal," Kriss heard something being moved and looked over to see Haydee readjusting in her seat and cuddling into Finn's arms.

"It's rude to eavesdrop," Anders said and she turned to glare at him. Her veins came out of her eyes.

"Your best course of action in staying alive is to be very quiet until I decide I no longer want to kill you," Kriss told him then put her headphones on and picked a movie.

They were back in the US hours later, getting on another flight to Virginia. As they arrived at that airport, Kriss and Finn headed to the parking lot. "Who's car do you have?" Haydee asked Kriss.

"Yours. Vampires don't need cars. Not really," she said and put on her sunglasses as they arrived at the convertible. Everyone got in and fit perfectly due to the lack of luggage. Things felt different. The same but different.

"So how is everyone?"

"You mean your family? The ones you left behind to become a Capulet and a Montague?" Finn asked and looked at the road. Anders and Haydee sat in the back seat and tried to maintain distance while still showing affection.

"We didn't go off and kill ourselves."

"You could've been killed by someone else. Or have you forgotten that both of you have witch hunter and witch purists hunting you!" Kriss scolded then tried to take deep breaths as she gripped the steering wheel. The rest of the car ride was silent except for the wind from the open windows.

Driving into their house gates, A bubble of magic opened allowing them to come through. Seconds later, they were joined outside by Davina and Kol. Davina went straight up to Haydee and pulled her into a hug. "I'm glad you're safe," she said and the tone in which she said it bothered Kriss. Not that she wasn't thankful. It was like she assumed she would be safe, even not being with them. Or maybe she was reading into things too much. Kol glared at Anders. "I made bolognese!" Davina announced. It was one of the only things she could make.

Throughout dinner, it was hostile, to say the least. Finn and Kol maintained a special amount of eye contact with Anders while everyone else pushed around their food. "How is Vera?" Haydee asked.

"She lives with Alaric and the Salvatore's now," Kriss answered and took another bite of pasta.

"Why?"
