Deceptions, Kassie [classic literature books txt] 📗

/> “Oh yea, especially when the paper reported us missing. It lasted a while then one day I was in Chicago and Kellan found me. He found out and he was turned too.”
“Oh…How did he take it?”
“Like the rest of us. He denied it at first, then he learned that he could not ignore it. He finally left for a while and when he came back he was perfectly happy with being a vamp. Then he met Zuzanna. She found out what he was and he changed her.”
Rinzy cocked her head,” So whoever you find out is a vampire is the one that changes you?”
Lucas nodded.
“Then that means that Liam would have to do it….”
Lucas shook his head, “The elders didn’t know you knew before me. So what happened with Liam might as well of never happened.”
“Oh……”
Rinzy couldn’t tell him the truth. Ever since that two month relationship with Liam, she had been having dreams of him. They occurred very rarely, but ever since she’d met Lucas the dreams had become more and more frequent and realistic.
“Umm…..I don’t like the look on your face. You look like your hiding something and it looks embarrassing.”
“It kind of is…..You see ever since I broke up with Liam I’ve had dreams of him now and then. It only happened when I was happy and on the verge of forgetting him-“
“And ever since you met me they’ve become more and more frequent.” Lucas finished with a grimace.
RInzy nodded, “How did you know?”
“Seduction and Love are Liam’s powers. He is in you dreams because once you taste someones blood you are bound to them. Not bodily but emotionally and thought wise. He knows what your feeling and what your thinking.”
Rinzy gaped, “So your telling me that even though I broke up with him Im still tied to him?!”
Lucas nodded, “And he has as much pull over you as I do.”
“Goddamn it! I thought I was done with him two years ago”
Rinzy sat on the edge of the bed and put her face in her hands.
“Why did you break up with him in the first place?”
“He cheated on me, and before that all he wanted to do was travel and spend as much time as possible in bed. I had to work and take care of Anetta so I told him to chill, but that didn’t work.”
Lucas looked at Rinzy, “He was the first vampire other than my mother that I saw after I changed. He and I became friends right off, but what happened to you is exactly what happened to other girls that he met before you. The same thing happened to every one of them, with little difference between all of them.”
Rinzy nodded, “I bet. Liam is such an ass………Oh my god!”
Rinzy whipped her head around and looked at him, “He’s going to be there isn’t he?”
Lucas nodded, “Sorry but he’s staying at my mothers house for the celebration.”
“Oh god, I am so screwed!!!”
Lucas chuckled, “I wont let anything happen to you.”
“That’s not my problem. Do you know how awkward it will be for me to be near my ex boyfriend AND dating his best friend!!”
“Oh….I never thought of that….”
“AHHH!” Rinzy said as she fell back against the bed.
Lucas leaned over her, “Don’t worry, nothing will happen. If it bothers you, you and I can go stay with Zuzanna and Kellan.”
Rinzy shook her head, “No, You never get to see your mother. I can handle it.”
Lucas sighed, “If its gonna be hard on you we can stay somewhere else….I really don’t want you to be bothered.”
Rinzy shook her head, “I can handle it, I’ll just try to ignore Liam.”
Lucas laughed, “Now theres something iv never known anyone to do!!!”
Rinzy laughed too, she knew exactly what he was talking about.
“So what are we doing tonight?”
“Ummmm…It is night and you have to go talk to Anetta.”
“Oh….Right” RInzy chuckled nervously
“Is Anetta going to be mad?”
“No, just surprised. Actually she told me something was off about you.”
“Well apparently she was right.”
Rinzy shook her head, “It really doesn’t bother me Lucas.”
Lucas sighed, he leaned over and kissed her cheek. He loved the way he could feel the blood beneath her skin under his lips.
Lucas pulled away smiling, Rinzy didn’t like the smile. It looked as if he’d come up with an idea, and she was scared to find out what it was.
“What are you smiling at?”
“What do you think Anetta would say if you were about another hour?” Still grinning
“Ummmmm……I don’t think shed mind,” Rinzy said hesitantly. She knew exactly what he was smiling about now.
Lucas’ grin widened, “Let’ find out.”
Lucas grabbed Rinzy by the waste and rolled on top of her.

By the time Rinzy walked back to the room it was 1 o’clock in the morning. She opened the door slowly trying to be quiet in case Anetta had fallen asleep.
“Well she back.” Anetta said from her spot on the bed.
Rinzy blushed, “We, uh, had to talk about something.”
Anetta grinned, “Sure and that’s why you look so relaxed.”
Rinzy laughed, “Yea, well then I don’t have to explain what Iv been doing.”
“So……One question?,” Anetta said grinning.
“Rinzy frowned, “What?”
“Was he good?”
Rinzy fell on the bed laughing, “I really didn’t expect that!!”
“Well was he?!”
“Oh YEA. He was so worth it, and…..I got a little surprise along the way.”
“What?” Anetta asked instantly worried.
Rinzy simply pulled the neck of her shirt down to expose the fang marks that Lucas had given her.
Anetta stared at them for a long moment.
“Well, I knew something was different about him….”
Rinzy smiled, “He thought I’d freak. He had this whole argument ready inside his head…..”
Rinzy sat for a moment staring at the ceiling.
“He was so excited when I told him that we were going to stay with him in Madrid.”
“Oh, I can see how he channeled that excitement.”
Rinzy smiled but threw a pillow at Anetta.
Then Rinzy frowned up at the ceiling.
“Liam is Lucas’ best friend.”
Anetta’s eyes widened, “Are you kidding me?!”
“Nope. On top of that he’s going to be there too.”
“Did you explain about you and Liams…...”
“Yea, I kind of had to didn’t I?”
Anetta nodded, “Did you tell him everything?”
“About the dreams? Yea. He understood that more than I expected him too.”
“This is going to be extremely awkward.”
“Tell me about”
Both of them were silent for a long minute.
“Ok, so if were getting up early in the morning to pack and be ready when the boat lands…”
Rinzy nodded as she slipped beneath the covers.
Anetta sighed as she mirrored Rinzy’s movement from the other side of the bed.
Anetta rolled over and eyed her sister.
Rinzy was cuddling with the pillow with a silly smile on her face, and Anetta knew exactly what was going through her mind.
Anetta sighed again, “Don’t you look relaxed”
Rinzy smiled, “Good night.”
As Anetta slid into sleep, Rinzy grinned into the night.

Lucas had just gotten the sheets changed and a shower before Navaeh and Kellan showed up.
Kellan took one step in, sniffed the air and grinned at Lucas.
Lucas grinned back.
He knew what Kellan smelled. He smelled blood and the after smell of sex.
Navaeh stopped dead in her tracks as she smelled it.
She cocked her hip, and with one hand on hip, stared at Lucas.
“Really?”
Lucas’ grin widened as he shrugged, “She stopped by to tell me Anetta said ok about going to Madrid with us, and one thing led to another.”
“How’d she take the ‘I’m a freaky vampire’ thing?”
“Actually she already knew they existed.”
Both Kellan and Navaeh’s eyes widened, “How?”
“My good buddy Liam….”
Kellan nodded, “I can understand that. She sounds exactly his type.”
“Oh yea, and he knows I’m with her. The dreams he sends them? He started double timing it with her.”
“O god. Really? That’s going to be weird for her. Being with her boyfriend and ex boyfriend slash vampire.”
Lucas sighed, “She has fang marks on the curve of her neck, and on the in side of her arms.”
“Oh jeez, How long was she with him?”
“She said longer than she wanted. He did the regular Lucas thing. Play with her for awhile, then when he wants to get serious she doesn’t want to spend every waking moment in bed. Well Lia reached an all time low with this one. He cheated on her.”
Kellan shook his head and leaned back on the door he’d just closed, “That is stupid, even for him.”
“So she what just laughed and thought it was cool? That you’re a vampire?”
Navaeh added after his blank look.
“Actually that’s exactly what she did. Its as if you were here… What were you guys doing?”
“Zu wanted to swim and when we were done it was dark so we swam up to mainland to talk to Oliver again.”
“So…You told him about our plans?”
Navaeh nodded.
“Where’s Zu?”
“She stayed back on the mainland. She said she had something to do.”
“Ok, ugh, this is going to be the longest night I’ve ever had.”
“You could try going to ‘sleep’ early. You’d just have to wake up and pack and then try to find something to claim the boredom.”
Lucas nodded, then smiled, “Rinzy will probably be up at about 6 anyway.”
“Jeez, He’s really hung up on her.” Kellan said pointed at Lucas, trying to get Navaeh’s sympathy.
She sust shook her head, “Well we’ll get to know her really well the next three weeks.”
Lucas shook his head, “Try forever.”
Both Kellan and Navaeh’s heads whipped towards him in that ungodly fast way of vampires.
“Oliver gave you permission to change his daughter?”
“No, the others found out that she knows. She has too.”
Navaeh looked down at her feet.
She was very close to Pheobe and knew how hard it was going to be on her to watch her baby be changed into the monsters that they tried so hard to hide her from.
Navaeh sat on the bed and shook her head.
“I cant believe it….”
“I feel like a total ass for doing exactly what they tried to prevent.”
“Ah, it’s not that bad. Pheobe and Oliver will actually get to spend time with their daughter.”
Lucas nodded as he stared out the window he was scared what tomorrow would bring.


Rinzy sighed as she looked out the window of the cabin for the last time. That time tomorrow she would be with Lucas meeting his family…..and Liam.
Rinzy shivered thinking of how that was going to go.
Then there was a knock on the door.
“I wonder who that could be.” Anetta mumbled from the bathroom, still drying her hair.
Rinzy rolled her eyes and opened the door to Lucas.
He smiled at her and she felt her heart beat accelerate.
“Hi” Rinzy whispered.
“Hello, ready for your big adventure?”
“As I’ll ever be.”
Lucas laughed at her chagrined face.
“It wont be that bad. If Liam gives you problems then I’ll deal with him.”
Rinzy smiled, “My own personal knight in shining armor…”
Lucas grinned, “We have to get going, my mother will be waiting for us when we land.”
Rinzy looked at her shoes and tried not to think about meeting his mother…….(EEEKK!!!)
“She really isn’t that bad. She’ll love you.”
Rinzy shook her head, “Sure, and then Zuzanna and Navaeh will like me even more.”
Her sentence almost dripped in sarcasm.
“Come on, Scared-y cat.”
“Anetta you better be up there in 10 minutes or I’m coming back here
