could tell his temper was on the verge of exploding, I didn’t want to hurt him anymore. The pain he must be going through knowing and seeing constantly that his only daughter was going to be savagely killed only a few miles away from their family home.
“Dad your right I do love Yas, but I love you, mom and Gareth too, I’m not foolish, I’m not going to do anything that’s going to jeopardise Yas or myself or the safety of the community, you didn’t need to pull me out of school,”
“Well baby I can’t take that risk, you school was already informed this morning, the council met with Miss Demurray already this morning. The school staff and pupils won’t even remember you by 11 o’clock, they are sending in council members to wipe the memories of students and staff members. Your files have already been destroyed,”
I stepped back and gasped, I couldn’t believe the extremes then went to cover my identity, would they wipe Yas’s memory of me? my heart shattered into a thousand pieces of the thought of Yas not remembering me.
“You, you can’t do this dad! Don’t you think you’re overreacting slightly here, it was a premonition, nothing is concrete, how about finding out that these part bloods are and stopping them reaching Port Townsend before they attack!”
“We already know who they are; we just don’t know the exact time they plan to arrive in Port Townsend,”
This information shocked me, stunned me into silence.
“We will be keeping a close eye on you Carrie, whatever is the reason they are heading here, it’s strongly connected to you, and as your father I am taking no risks with your safety. You will be staying here constantly, one of us will be with you at all times, whether it’s your mother, Gareth or I, and there will always be someone around. Jenson is arranging council members to sit with you in times of our absences, but in the mean time you don’t go anywhere without my prior knowledge,” he added.
So now I was a prisoner in my own home, based on a premonition. I stared at him with my mouth open wide, I didn’t want to believe that he had gone so far and that he was prepared to keep me locked up like some frail human.
“You can’t keep me locked up dad, I’m 218 years old for crying out, and at some point in your life you’re going to have to trust me!”
“Like last night when you sneaked out?” he countered my argument. He had me and he knew it, I wasn’t aware that anyone knew that I snuck out, I shifted me feet as I looked up to him and said “That was before I knew dad, you can’t use that against me,”
“I will use whatever I can to keep you safe Carrie, this is the end of discussion, I need to go and prepare myself for the next meeting,” he leaned down and kiss me on top of my head as I was about to say something.
Before I had chance to counter his argument he was out the room and up the stairs with his toast and coffee.
I stood frozen in the kitchen, the glass in my hand shook with my temper.
Gareth had already left for school, so I went to find my mother to hear her thoughts on the subject.
I knew it was a wasted quest, father ruled our family, but mother occasionally spoke up if she thought father was a going overboard. And this was definitely a time he was going overboard borderline eccentric.
I found her in her study, the room was dark , the only light were that from her lap top, the curtains was still drawn and she was stilling wearing yesterdays clothes. She sat there typing with immense speed, lost in her thoughts she didn’t hear me walk in.
I sat down on the chair next to her desk, she nodded to let me know she acknowledge me and raised her index finger up to pause me as I was about to begin. I sighed and waited for her to finish typing her paragraph, she finally hit the save button and looked up from the screen at my face.
She looked as though she expected me and what I was about to complain about but it didn’t deter me.
“Mother I need your help, father has lost his mind, he has taken me out of PTH and he has arranged to wipe the memories of over 700 people, don’t you think this is a bit eccentric?”
I tried to remain calm, and polite, mother just looked at me with deep concern and fear in her eyes that she which she still held onto from the previous night. She looked down and stared at her hands, it looked as though she was trying to think of what to say in return, then she sighed deeply and shook her head
“Carrie-Ann, I don’t think you fully grasp the danger you are in” I went to interrupt but she held her hand up to stop me “I know you must feel betrayed and angry with us, for our actions sweet heart, but to date outside the species especially with a Were beast is something that would be catastrophic regardless of the premonition, and now because so many of us have had the same premonition, including Were beasts too, it’s extremely important that we take such strict plans to protect you...and Yas.”
I noticed when she added Yas’s name in at the end it had a bit of an acid tone to it, I sighed I knew it was a pointless quest she had sided alongside with father. I shook my head and got up from my chair.
“Carrie, one last thing before you leave,” she said sternly , I turned to stare at her, her eyes now were serious and I knew whatever she was about to say was just going to be the cherry on the cake for me.
“Please, do not risk sneaking out again, I won’t cover for you again, the risks are too high, and don’t be fooled for one minute that I am so preoccupied with my writing that I wouldn’t notice young lady, you will stick to the rules your father has set, do you understand?”
She looked at me seriously, I just nodded, I refuse to make promises that I couldn’t keep, I would do whatever I could to see Yas, even if I had to break the trust of my parents a nod wasn’t a promise I felt safe knowing that.
She nodded back and shooed me out of her study so she could continue her writing. With nothing left to do I wandered back to my room, I booted up my lap top and put my mobile on charge.
There was no point in ringing Yas he would be in first lesson by now and no doubt in a few moments his memory wiped too. My heart shuddered and I felt a tear escape and run slowly down my cheek.
I sat staring at the blank Google engine; it was time now to make Contingency plans, if I managed to escape the confines of my new prison, I needed to confront Yas and tell him the truth about my genetics this was foremost important thing to do.
If we were able to have a proper relationship the fundamental foundations needed to be strong, honesty and trust was the main key to any relationship. I witnessed it first hand from my mother and father that have been together ever since my father found my mother when she was 180 years old, relatively young.
They settled down and produced me and Gareth 2 years later, they have been together ever since and they were always honest with each other.
Then I had to make a decision, one that whipped and tore at my heart, if Yas decided he didn’t want me after he discovers the truth about me then what, I couldn’t stay here and wait for the part bloods to come and attack, I had to leave, find some where I could go to protect every one, Yas, my family and the people of Port Townsend.
Just the thought of leaving them all brought tears to my eyes, the pain thrashed through my body, causing me to shake uncontrollably, but I would do it, to protect them all, I would sacrifice my happiness so they can all live.
I had so much pain going through my mind as well as my own fears that I didn’t know which to do first where to go, I couldn’t afford to go anywhere over populated I wasn’t strong or capable enough to survive that. I needed somewhere, where population was so small, a small town, and no tourists.
Then it hit me, Yas’s old home town, it was perfect. Last count of the population came back as nine people in total, the town people had no recognition of the attacks from part bloods so they wouldn’t expect me to be a Vampire, I could get a job close by just out of town. I could feel the plan working in my mind, but my heart was still screaming at the possibilities of leaving Yas.
I typed in Centralia in my search bar and pressed enter, I came up with loads of descriptions about the bogus mine fires, the pictures were very realistic and so was the witness statements. I searched for properties and found a small apartment on the outskirts of the town, the price was good, not that I had to worry about money I had more than enough.
I had saved and worked religiously hard over the years I accumulated a lot, more than any one person needed in a single lifetime.
I picked up my mobile and made a quick call to the estate agents on the website, they confirmed the property was still for sale and over the phone I paid the deposit and informed them I will pay in full on arrival; they seemed thrilled with the decision and was more than helpful.
I sat back and blew out a tired breath, one huge plan out the way, so I had somewhere to go if need be.
I decided it was best to go downstairs so my parents knew I was still in, no doubt they already was aware of my sulking.
I headed for the kitchen and started making myself a sandwich when I heard the jeep pull up. Part of me didn’t want to speak to Gareth, but the other part yearned for information about what may have happened at the school, most importantly I wanted to know if Yas’s mind had been wiped.
I just finished making my sandwich as Gareth strolled into the kitchen, he seemed apprehensive to see me, as if he was unsure what to say.
“Hi” I said trying to be polite. Gareth could be like father in many ways, if I started off negative it would only end in a row, so I tried to stay calm and polite.
“Hi?” he answered, slightly taken back; he walked towards the fridge looking at me suspiciously.
“How was school?” I asked hoping that my nonchalant manner would fade his suspicions.
“Fine,” he replied as he took a fresh bag of blood out of the fridge, he wasn’t fooled by my questions he knew something was up, there was no point in trying to read his mind, we both managed successfully to block each other’s thoughts only when we wanted a private conversation did we unblock it.
I sighed in defeat, and held my head in my hands; I just wanted to know if Yas was ok, was safe. Gareth must have understood me, for a brief moment I felt his
