Midnights Veil

Chapter five

kassie

i stood there still in shock at the scene that just took place. there was nothing i could do at this point, my life was slowly but surely falling apart around me and it was all my fault. my curiosity destroyed the life my grandma had built for me (ok she wasn't really my grandma she was a close family friend, but she was a grandma to me.). 

 but what was left for me now ? what was i supposed to do? i already knew i would have to leave i didn't belong here anymore and what had happened with Alex was just prof of that. not only did i ruin my own life but i destroyed her life in the process. 

grams lightly placed her hand on one side of my shoulder while Logan stood on the other side of me. we stood there for what seemed like forever before grams said anything.

"she's only scarred.kitten." she murmured softly 

"i would be to" i croaked close to tears again

"come on kitten staring into the darkness wont do any one any good, you must go pack you must leave tonight." 

i didn't respond i simply turned my back from the opened door and made my way up to my room. i stood in the centre of my room until my knees gave out and i feel to the ground in broken sobs. i felt a pair of hands lightly on both my shoulders but i didn't look up. 

"why me." i cried 

"shhhhhh, every things going to be fine." Logan pulled me onto his lap and started whispering words of reassurance but i stop listening. it seemed like the sound of my own crying blocked out everything else. i don't recall just how long me a Logan stayed like that but during that time my tears ran dry and i couldn't cry anymore. 

weakly i rose to my feet and grabbed my purple suit case from under my bed. i could feel Logan's eyes watching me as i threw in clothes and the things i would need. my eyes shot to the box that now stood open on my desk. i walked over to it and pulled out the copper rose neckless and put it on. then i picked up the journal and letter and tossed it in the suit case. 

"ok im ready to go" i told Logan 

he slowly walked up to me and turned me to face him. and wiped away my tears with his sleeve. once my face was dry he bent down and kissed me softly. loving the way his kisses made me forget about all the pain and the stress of the world, i deepened the kiss. he pulled away and looked me in the eyes.

"lets go then" 

we walked together down the stairs to my grandma who was waiting for us with her shoes already on. when we were walking out to the car my eyes stayed focused in the woods. in fact my eyes didn't leave the forest until the car turned a corner leaving the forest along with my normal life behind. 

we left my small town and headed for the highway we stayed on the QEW for a really long time before turning off. i couldn't tell where we were but it was farther out in the country then grams had ever taken me and i didn't look like we were going to stop anytime soon. 

it was around 3:00 in the mourning when we finally pulled into a drive way. we were parked in the drive way of a old house. its roof was almost falling in on itself, the windows were boarded up and the paint on the wood was peeling off relieving the true colour of the old wood. 

"uhmm grams i hate to be downer but is that really the camp?" i groaned 

she laughed lightly "no sweetie this is were an adult vampire is coming to pick you up to take you the rest of the way." 

"what you not coming?" i exclaimed

"no kitten, humans are not allowed to see the camp grounds." she walked over and gave me a hug " ill be leaving now"
