Deceptions, Kassie [classic literature books txt] 📗

Rinzy looked out over the water and muttered
“What would we do if you were still here?”
Then she heard Anetta scream she turned around and was shocked to see a man standing above her sister.
She ran forward, and barreled straight into the man.
“Umph!” they both said as they fell to the ground.
Rinzy got up fast turned and looked at her sister and said
“Are you okay, what happened?”
Anetta rolled her eyes “No, he fell on me and it just surprised me.”
She walked over to the man and helped him up
Anetta asked “Are you ok?”
The man answered”I’ll be fine, thank you.”
He turned and after giving Rinzy a look that would have burned her to the ground, walked away.
“Ok, I deserved that.” Rinzy muttered to herself.
She turned back to Anetta
“Sorry for overreacting…..”
Anetta sighed” It’s ok; I would have done the same thing.”
“So………..What do you want to do now?” Anetta asked.
Rinzy thought for a minute and looked around the bright deck of the liner.
“Hmmmmmm……” She said as she thought about what there is to do on a huge cruise liner.
Then she turned around quick, smiling as she looked down at Anetta.
“Let’s go swimming!” Then without warning she grabbed Anetta’s hand and dragged her to the elevator.
When they stepped in the elevator, Rinzy was stunned speechless.
She looked over at a pair of the most perfect people she’d ever seen.
The woman was pale as sheet, with bright blue eyes, and strawberry blonde hair.
Her body was long and she was built like a model, with the perfect legs and the hour glass shape of her hips. She was in a bright yellow bikini and khaki shorts with a towel in hand.
The man next to her was equally beautiful. He had icy blue eyes with dark brown hair.
His body was lean and muscular and it was displayed in a pair of dark swim shorts.
His skin was perfect not a blemish on it and his skin was the same pale white as the women next to him.
Rinzy only sighed, as she thought of what it would be like to have a man like that.
Then without warning he turned his head, and she was struck with the intensity of his eyes. He jolted as if he’d just been hit in the face. The woman next to him looked at him then the elevator door opened and she turned and grabbed his arm and had to struggle to get him to walk out of the elevator with her.
Rinzy only took a deep breath and watched him as the door shut.
Anetta looked at her sister and said “WOW, he was so hot.”
Then she just kept looking at Rinzy, at the absence of an answer.
Anetta grabbed Rinzy’s arm and shook her, “Rin! Rin! RINZY!”
Rinzy shook her head and looked down at Anetta and said “What?”
Anetta just looked at her sister and asked “Are you ok?”
‘Yea and I have to agree with you on that one…... Now let’s go get our bathing suits on and go swimming.”
Anetta just smiled and said”Ok.”


“Lucas, what the hell just happened?” asked Navaeh as she dragged him to the rail.
Lucas shook his head and looked at her “I don’t know…”
“Well that was really weird you both looked like you were in a trance.” She said as she stared out at the ocean wondering why that looked so familiar to her and why she had a bad feeling about it.
Navaeh looked at him, “That looked a lot like what Maya looked like when she saw Isaiah.”
Lucas jumped and looked down at her.” Didn’t she change him?”
Naveah looked him in the eyes, “You really need to keep away from that girl, I don’t want to chance being discovered or hurting an innocent person.” She said thinking of the curse of being a vampire.
Lucas turned his head and looked out at the ocean.
“What the hell is going on? All I did was look at her and then I couldn’t look away” he mumbled
Navaeh was thinking about that too.
She turned and said “The next port we get off and catch a plane to Madrid.”
Lucas just looked at her.” What about Zuzana and Kellan”
Navaeh just looked at him then nodded “Your right we can’t get off….You just got to make sure you don’t see her again.”
Lucas turned and with an exasperated face said “Why?”
Navaeh rolled her eyes “You remember what Maya did to Isaiah?”
Lucas’s eyes widened, “Yea….”
Navaeh took a deep breath and said “You really want to be found out? Even though we may look normal their still going to wonder what’s going on when a bunch of people start to disappear.”
Lucas nodded “Ok, I’ll try, but I might not be able to I’m not going to go looking around for her, before I go anywhere.”
Navaeh looked at him “ Yea, We’ll just have to watch out while we go….Oh! Look! There’s Kellan!”
Kellan smiled and walked up to them and leaned against the rail as they were.
“What’s up?” Kellan looks over at Lucas
Lucas is just staring out at the water.
Kellan’s eyebrow raised and looked at Navaeh
“What’s wrong with him?” He whispered.
Navaeh looked at Lucas “I’ll tell you later.”
“Ok??” Kellan said as he studied Lucas.
“So whereas Zuzana? She’d never miss a chance to swim!” Navaeh said.
“Oh, She’s coming she just had to find a way to lose this guy that’s been tailing her all day. He looks like a lost puppy! It’s so funny!” Kellan said as he chuckled.
Navaeh’s eyebrow rose “How’d she manage to grab someone that fast?”
Kellan only smiled “Come on, you know what happens when we go somewhere new!”
Navaeh nodded “Yea, I forgot that always happens.”
Then they both looked back at Lucas he was staring again, but not out at the water this time.
Navaeh recognized the girl. It was the same tan skinned, red haired girl that she’d seen on the elevator.
She turned quickly and saw Lucas’s gaze was on her and she swore under her breath and turned just in time to grab Lucas before he walked forward she shoved him back.
Then she glanced over at Kellan he was wide eyed and had a slack jaw staring at them.
Kellan started “What the heck is with him?”
He asked as he saw Lucas’s look and the way he watched her walk to the pool and
dive in after the other girl she was with.
Navaeh turned her head “Help me get him to the room and I’ll tell you all about it.”
Kellan turned and without another word grabbed one of his arms and helped drag him back to the room.


Rinzy got out of the water and glanced over her shoulder.
She saw the two people she’d seen on the elevator, and another man.
The woman and other man were dragging him toward the elevator as if he was sick or something. All the while the man had his head turned and was staring at her with a look so intense she felt herself feeling something she’d only felt when she was with a man.
“Rin?” Anetta was watching her sisters’ face and noticed the look the man being dragged to the elevator gave her sister and how her sister couldn’t resist looking back at him.
Then after the three people got into the elevator and Rinzy looked away, Anetta asked.
“Are you ok?” As Rinzy stood and shook her head.
“Yea, just ah, got side tracked…”
Anetta continued to look at Rinzy until she turned her head and grinned down into the pool.
“So what was I about to do? Oh! That’s right ! I was going to do….THIS!”
Rinzy yelled and jumped on Anetta sending her underwater.
She came up gasping and gave Rinzy a look. “That wasn’t even funny.”
Rinzy grinned “Yes it was and you know it.”
Anetta tried to shake her head but the sloppy grin on Rinzy’s face was irresistible, so she gave in and smiled back at her sister.
Then Rinzy’s stomach growled and she looked at Anetta
“I’m starving lets get something to eat.”
Anetta nodded “ I’m all for that.”
As they got out the woman and the other man came back off the elevator. The man was tall and just as pale as the women next to him. His his hair was a golden brown and his eyes were just as icy blue as the woman beside him. Rinzy began to wonder if they were related……..
“ Come on you just told me you were hungry then you stop in your tracks! What’s going on-“ Anetta was cut off as she saw what Rinzy was looking at.
“ What? Are you going to turn into a stalker too? Just like Lila?” Anetta asked, having a dark swirl of anger swirl in her stomach as she mentioned of her recently ex-boyfriends new love.
Rinzy winced “ No, I was just wondering what was going on with them.” She said and nodded toward the two people as they stood by the rail and talked seriously. Then the man turned and looked at her, his jaw was slack and eyes wide. He turned his head back to the woman and started talking again.
Rinzy turned to Anetta “ God, Are they from the ‘We are gods’ club? If so I want to join.”
Anetta just laughed “Yea you’d be able to fit right in.”
Rinzy just shook her head. She knew some called her beautiful and others called her gorgeous but she refused to accept it. She had bright red hair and bright, grass green eyes. Her skin, normally pale, was tanned to a subtle gold and with a shiny tint due to the lotion she’d put on her skin before coming down to the deck to swim.
Anetta sighed.
She thought of herself as the ‘ugly duckling’ next to her sister. She had the same red hair and green eyes but her mouth was thin and her chin was round and it gave her the look of an elementary school student rather than an 18 year old woman. Her sister on the other hand had full plump lips and a beautiful narrow chin. She also had the voice of an angel, once you convinced her to sing.
Rinzy kept walking and she turned her head when Anetta started to mumble something.
“What are you and your self-conscious talking about?” She said with a smile
Anetta just huffed and walked faster into the little tiki bar on the deck.


Rinzy was mumbling to herself as she turned the corner, she wasn’t paying any attention to where she was going. Then she bumped into something she looked up to apologize, and she looked straight into the eyes of the man she’d seen on the elevator. He just looked down at her smiling with those icy blue eyes bright as the sun and when she just stared; he tilted his head and said,
“Why don’t you watch where you’re going?”
Rinzy sighed and looked up, “Sorry, I wasn’t paying attention.”
She then noticed that he was standing in front of her with his hands in his pockets watching her with calculating eyes.
Her eyes narrowed “ What may I ask are you looking at?”
His smile just widened “Oh, nothing may I ask you something?.”
Rinzy smiled “Sure, what do you want to know?”
Lucas took a step back
