same about me?”

“Drake…”

“Just answer. If you don’t, I will leave you alone.” I look away to hide my tears. Then I look back at him.

“I don’t feel the same way about you, Drake.” Drake looks so hurt. He looks away from me.

“Of course you don’t.” I lift Drake chin up for he can look at me.

“I am so sorry. Give Tiffany a chance. Work things out with her.” Drake looks disappointed, but he nodded his head.

“At least you being honest.” He kiss the palm of my hand. “You know it is going to be hard to resist you?”

I laugh a little. “Yeah.”

“I should be going.” He said as he was about stand up.

“Please don’t go. I don’t want to be alone tonight.” Drake gave me a crooked smile and sat back down.

“I won’t leave you.” I smile back at him as I lay my head back.

 

So, for the rest of the night, Drake stay with me. Even though I fell asleep, I still couldn’t help but to feel bad.

Chapter 16

 

For 3 days, I had to stay at the hospital because the doctors suggested it. I have been eating a lot more too. Sarah called me a few times to make sure I was okay and kept me updated on Dad. Drake has taken my advice and he have gone out with Tiffany basically every night. I can admit I was happy for Drake, but I was little jealous. I didn’t want to be jealous. I’m not that type of girl from what Drake is telling me. Tiffany is a great girl. So, I’m happy for him. I haven’t heard from Dylan since his visit at the hospital. I admit, I am worried about him. I’m still wondering if he still alive.

 

‘Sigh’ Right now, I am about to leave from the hospital. Drake and Tiffany was waiting. While the doctors was taking out my stitches. Tiffany came to me while Drake went to get the car. After the doctor was done, he took off my cast.

 

“Your ankle looks fine to me. The doctor who treated your injury did a good job. It looks like it still need to heal, but its good.” The doctor said as he put on a boot. “Keep that on for a few weeks until your ankle is healed.”

“Wow Lea, you are so brave. I would be crying if I was you.” Tiffany said

“It doesn’t hurt.” I said as the doctor left the room.

“Are you sure you human? Because that should hurt. When was the last time I had stitches?? I don’t remember. It was long.” Tiffany laugh.

“Well, it doesn’t hurt that much.” I laugh a little.

“You are so interesting, no wonder Drake like you so much.” Tiffany eyes darken. She was now serious. I stop laughing.

“Tiffany, he like you.”

“Save all the crap for home. I overheard everything at the masquerade. Even though I’m blonde, it doesn’t mean I’m stupid.” Tiffany step closer.

“Tiffany…”

“No, you listen to me. Things are going good between me and Drake. I don’t want no weak human to mess things up for me. You hear me?” Now I was scared. “You hear me!!”

“Yes.” Tiffany smile and step closer.

“Good because you don’t want to lose your daddy too.” She whisper to me.

“You wouldn’t dare.”

“Try me.” Tiffany move away from me quickly as Drake came into the room.

 

“Lea, the doctors need you to sign out.” Drake said. All I did was nod my head. “Are you okay? Your face just gotten pale.” I look away.

“It’s nothing. I just feel a little queasy from the stitches, that’s all.” I said

“I told you it would hurt.” Tiffany said

“Yea. Can we leave now?” I said.

“Sure. Let me help you.” Drake said. He was coming to me, but I got out the wheelchair and move away from him.

“I’m fine. I can walk on my own.” I said. Drake rose an eyebrow at me.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes. I’m fine. I just have a slight headache. That’s all.” Drake didn’t look convinced, but he nodded.

“Okay. Let’s get you to the house.”

“Okay.” So after I signed out, we finally left the hospital. I lay down in the back seat while Drake drove and Tiffany sat in the passenger seat. A few times, I would call Sarah to see if Dad was okay. Sarah would tell me yes, but I was still worried. I couldn’t get what Tiffany said to me out my mind. I pull out my phone again and call Sarah.

“Lea, I said your Dad is okay. Stop worrying.” Sarah said

“I can’t help it.” I said.

“If she said your father okay, then he is okay.” Tiffany said as she looks at me with a smile. “But if I was her, I wouldn’t leave his sight.” She wink at me, then look away.

“Tiffany, stop scaring Lea.” Drake said.

“Sorry.” She said as she kiss Drake on the cheek.

“Lea, are you okay?” Sarah ask.

“Yea. Just don’t feel well. I’ll talk to you later.” I said.

“Okay.” Sarah said. As soon as I hung up, I close my eyes and end up drifting off to sleep. I didn’t realize Drake stop the car until Drake touched me. I jump and look at him Drake looked worried.

 

“Lea, you don’t look so well.” He said. Drake was right. I didn’t. I could barely breathe and I was feeling queasy.

“I’m fine. Just a little tired.” I said

“Are you sure?”

“Drake, she said she is fine. Lea looks fine to me.” Tiffany said

“Well, you don’t know Lea as much as I do.” Drake said. Tiffany frowned, but put a smile on her face that quickly.

“Okay.” Drake help me out the car.

“I’m fine Drake.” I said

“Who you trying to convince? Me or yourself.” He said. I ignore him and start walking to the house. I was about to open the door, but Drake stop me. I look at him suspiciously.

“Drake, what are you doing?”

“I don’t think you should do that.” Drake was about to say something, but Tiffany move Drake out of my way.

“Let her open the door.” She said. Tiffany looks at me. “Open the door.”

“Tiffany, what the hell wrong with you?” Drake said

“Nothing.”

‘Sigh’ I ignore them, open the door and went inside. As soon as I turn on the light, everyone yell. “Surprise!!!” At first I was in shock, then everything went black.

***********************************************

 

I was in a car. I sat up when I heard Mom and Dad voice. Tears fill my eyes.

“Mom! Dad!” I said, but they didn’t hear me. Instead, they was talking about something else, so I listened.

“We need to call Lea. She needs to know.” Dad said

“No. She already know I’m working with supernatural creatures. She don’t need to know about Addanc. Not yet.” Mom said.

“We made a deal with him! He not going to give up.”

“You don’t think I know that! But, he not taking our daughter. He just can’t.” Dad kept one hand on the wheel and with his other hand held Mom’s.

“I know.” Tears ran down Mom’s cheek.

“Honey, what are we supposed to do?”

“We go get Lea, then we go somewhere far away.”

“What about the company?”

“Maybe we can ask someone to watch it for us. Right now, we need to worry about staying safe.” Mom start to cry.

“I don’t want to die. The company is starting to become successful. I want to see Lea grow up, get married, and have babies of her own.”

“And you will see it. We will see it. I promise.” Mom smile and squeeze his hand.

“I love you.”

“I love you too.”

“Look out!” I said as a car crash to us. When I open my eyes, I was in the ball room. I look down and I see that I had my masquerade dress on.

“You look so beautiful.” He said. Hot tears ran down my cheek as I ran to the guy from outside the pizza place.

“You bastard! How can you do that to me?!” I yell and start hitting him. He took my hands as he stare at me coldly with his icy blue eyes. I moved away from him quickly. “You’re Addanc.” He smirks.

“Correct. You have been paying attention.”

“Why can’t you leave me alone?”

“Not until I get what I want.”

“Why me? I’m only human.”

“Not very long.”

“What you mean ‘not very long’?”

“You remember when your mommy and daddy was talking about a deal.” He took a step toward me. I took a step back.

“Yes. What about me?”

“Well, I’m surprised your Mom didn’t tell you this. Before you were born, your Mom couldn’t get pregnant. They tried very hard until 4 months later, your Mom is pregnant with you. To make this story short, when you was born, your mommy and daddy was really happy. But something went wrong. You was just premature. You wasn’t even going to survive. Your Mom tried to ask doctors and her supernatural friends for help, but they couldn’t help either. So the only choice that was left is to go to me.”

“Why you?” He kept his eyes at me as he took a step to me.

“Because I’m the most powerful vampire in the world.”

“I thought pure blood vampires was the most powerful vampires in the world.” Addanc laugh

“That’s because I’m the first born vampire. I have the power to give life, but I also have the power to take life away with one…single…touch. Your Mom and Dad came to me to heal you. I told them yes, but they had to sign the contract first. Of course, they was so concerned about you, so they signed it, but they forgot to read the small print underneath their signature.”

“What was it?” Addanc touch my cheek lightly, but I moved away. “Stop stalling and tell me!”

He raised an eyebrow at me. “Instead of telling you, why don’t I show you?” He snaps his finger and a contract landed in my hand. Addanc went to the bar and poured him some liquor. “Look at the underlined words and I want you to read it.” I look over it and was about to give it back to him. “I said read it!” I flinch and look back at the contract. My voice shook as I read.

“When the child turn to a young adult, you must give her to me forever. No taking back. If you refuse, you must surely pay the consequences.” I look at Addanc. ”That’s why you killed Mom. She refused.”

“You just turned 18. I asked your parents patiently, but they wouldn’t listen. So I followed the contract.”

“Well the deal is off.” Addanc start laughing again. His laughter brought chills through my body.

“Of course you would think that. If it was over, you would be dead by now and I wouldn’t be wasting my breath with you. I would like to kill you right now, but Drake is too busy trying to bring you back to life.”

“I’m dead.”

“Right now I stopped your heart, but you will wake up soon. So, I never gave people more time on a contract, but I will make you an offer. If you complete it, the deal is off and you can move on with your life.”

“What is it?”

“Break Drake’s heart.”

“What?” He poured himself another shot of liquor.

“I know how you feel about Drake. Your heart ache for him. And I know he has feelings for you too. That’s why I want you to break his heart. Make him
