"I knew it would happen. I say that a lotI know but I know a lot of things . This made complete sense to me . She somehow absorbed all of the attractiveness out of me and somehow managed to get that boy to love her, I have no idea how someone could so easily fall in love with another meaningfully. I've had men and women fall head over heals I love with me in an instant if I wanted them to. but that wasn't true love. True love is what I yearn for and yet I have never received any.

I will show them what happens when there is true love that isn't mine, My poor child will have no idea. Of course she was not created out of true love. It should be as impossible for her as it is me. Perhaps she will never know the true love that she feels , perhaps she will never know who she is truly in love with. True love is greedy and spiteful and cares for nothing more then the survival of itself.

I know that I shouldn't be this jealous of my own child, I should be happy that there is love blooming and blossoming and I should smile at the happiness that it brings them. But I cannot help my black heart filling with rage at the smiles on their faces as they hold hands and run around in the field or play together. I wish that I could support them in their relationship , I really wish that I could but if anyone is going to experience true love out of the small family that I have created then it should be me.

Perhaps,...perhaps if he changed...then she will no longer feel true love for him, yes! that's it. she has fallen in love with a sweet , kind and innocent boy . He is a true gentleman , not that I have met many of those in my lifetime I do know that they are trusting and will do anything they can to help someone. That is the perfect plan. It wouldn't harm either of them ...physically...too much. Love is in the eye of the beholder , Lets see how wrong we can make that statement. It shouldn't be too hard to turn a gentleman into well simply someone whom doesn't deserve the love of my daughter."

When I had finished reading a lightbulb came on so quickly it nearly exploded. In my mind of course. I raced over and grabbed my phone before phoning Alaric. I cannot believe that I didn't put two and two together , well I had only known that Luke could shapeshift for a day so I suppose i'm not that slow in realizing but I've had the book for weeks! How could I have not twigged on that "Hello?" I heard from the other side of the phone . Alaric seemed suspicious and weary, probably because not a lot of people have his number. By not a lot of people he had admitted to having four numbers in his mobile phone , which is honestly one more then I do, therefore I have lost the right to speak about or judge one for lack of social interaction.

"Alaric it's chester, you have some explaining to do." I demanded almost as I started to pace the length of my living room "I-what? Chester it's ....two in the morning! what in the bloody hell do you think you are doing phoning me at two in the morning?!" I huffed a little bit though I felt a slight twinge of guilt as I hadn't known the time before I picked up my pone "Look Alaric you can be mad at me later I have something important to show you." I started to play with the ends of my hair out of nervousness and excitement and all the emotions that I was feeling. I was basically bouncing off the walls like a child who had too much sugar.

"Wha-oh fine You owe me, feed me when I et there I haven't had a good meal in ages . you try living on your own in the middle of the-oh wait you do...nevermind, i'll be there in ten." He hung up almost immediately after he said that. I was confused but I heard the word food in there so I decided to make something anyway to keep me busy for the next ten minutes.

It wasn't ong until I heard a knock on the door. It would have not been heard had I not been keeping a keen ear out. I speedwalked to the door before opening it, pulling Alaric in and closing the door behind him. "Hello chester wha- oh your house is cool." He mentioned whilst looking around the entry way "would you mind having a look at my house, you've seen it already ...you didn't have the best first experience there but I would really appreciate it if you could design my interior...and give me the money to do it out." I walked into the living room and picked up the book , I could still hear him speak "I mean you seem to have plenty of money to spare , looking at how you decorate the place."

I came back into the passage and showed him the book . He had a look of surprise on his face before it was replaced with confusion "Umm what is that?" He asked carefully which caused me to narrow my eyes but I diverted the question by asking "So would you like to tell me more about the shape-shifting curse that Alviva put on you because you were too close to Amity ? or would you like to start telling me why I should trust you? After all Alviva wants to feel true love. Once she feels that she will surely break your curse...logically."

His face went paler and paler as he became more and more angry . "Chester you know nothing!" He was creating condensation as the temperature of the room decreased. "Then tell me! tell me what we can do together to stop this, tell me why Amity doesn't know and tell me what the curse is! out of everyone...I will understand."
