me for a month. Oh please keep him away from me cebastain.”
“I will darling” he said. “Don’t worry I will” he put his arms around me and patted my back. I wrapped my arms around him and began to pull up his shirt. “Someone’s desperate” he said. He kissed me on the nose. “Do you want to go take a spin in the hearse?” he chuckled.
“You know I do” I said. “Let’s go somewhere private.” I laughed and got up off of the bed. He grabbed my hand and led me to his car. When we reached the car we were about to get in, but noticed Joel sitting in the driver seat. He was sitting there as if the car belonged to him.
He got out and began to walk towards us. “Nice car cebastian. A little too dark for your style isn’t it Kara? So where are you guys going? You aren’t going to leave the baby all alone now are you?”
“No we aren’t” I said. “Parents get a little time off once in a while you know. Right know Candice is with your sister. She seems to be enjoying herself.” My voice was full of disgust for Joel.
“Well, you wouldn’t mind if I joined you then. Life gets boring alone, you know?” he said.
“You know what Joel?” I said. “I wouldn’t really know. Married remember?”
“Oh come now Kara. What has happened to you? This monster of a man has changed you so much.” Cebastian looked like he was ready to pulverize him and rip him into shreds. I placed my hand against his chest. He calmed down immediately.
“That monster of a man is my husband, Joel. Id advise you to watch your mouth before I let him kill you” before I could say another word. I was pulled against Joel and being kissed ferociously. I tried to push him away. The next thing I knew I was on my hands and knees. Suddenly I heard a loud crash as Joel was slammed against the hood of my car.
“If you ever touch her again I swear I will skin you alive” I heard cebastian say. Suddenly josh was by my side and helping me up.
“Are you okay?” josh asked me calmly.
“Yeah I think so” I glared at Joel. “Cebastian will you take out the trash please?”
“Wait” I heard Catherine say. “Please don’t make him leave. Im sure he didn’t mean it, Kara. Sometimes my brother just doesn’t think straight.” I watched as Catherine walked towards me.
It was for Catherine so I couldn’t say no. “Alright” I said. “He can stay in the guest house. Ill be fine just as long as he’s away from me. Pack your bags Joel and get over to that damn guest house before I have cebastain rip your head off.” I watched as he marched angrily into the house.
“Um where’s Candice?” I noticed that Catherine wasn’t holding her.
“I left her in the nursery….” Said Catherine. “Oh shit.” Cebastian was in the house in a flash I luckily inherited that speed when I became a vampire. When I got to the nursery I saw cebastian ready to pounce and Joel holding a knife to the baby’s neck.
“Joel” I said. “Calm down. You don’t have to do this. Please don’t do this Joel. That’s my baby Joel, you can’t kill her.”
He put the baby back into the crib and dropped the knife. It hit the floor with a loud crash. Suddenly Joel was being held to the floor by josh. “If you try that again with my sister-in-law, I swear I will rip your heart out.” Then Joel was flung against the wall. I closed my eyes and heard a loud crash as he hit the dresser. I began to cry. Cebastian picked me up in his arms and carried me to our room.
“Oh why does all this have to happen right now? What the hell happened to him?” I whispered. “I remember when he was ten years old and he used to follow me around like I was his idol. Catherine was seven at the time.”
“Something went wrong in his childhood?” he asked me.
“well yeah” I said. “He had watched his father try to kill himself. So I know it must be hard for himself. He was seventeen when he tried to rape me. I was only fifteen years old.” I lay down on the bed. Before I knew it I was asleep.
Chapter 4
I rolled over and felt cebastian’s cold hard body. I wrapped my arms around him. Then I heard him chuckle. “Somebody’s awake” he turned towards me and kissed me on the nose. I giggled. Then I felt chills run down my spine as he began running his tongue in between my breasts. I pushed my body against him. “Wanting to have more children so soon?” he asked.
“All I want is you” I whispered in his ear. He began licking my neck on the exact spot where bit me two years ago.
“Well in that case, how about we have another camping trip like we did two years ago. We can make it kind of like a double date. You and I can go, and Catherine and Cameron. I noticed she has been eying him for a while.” He placed his hand on the small of my back. Then he reached it lower until his hand was in my pants. I held my breath as his finger delved inside of me. Suddenly I noticed Catherine standing in the doorway.
“Oh god Catherine” I said. “What are you doing in here?”
“I wanted to come talk to you, but I didn’t know you guys were busy.” She giggled. “Now what’s this about a camping trip and Cameron? Because if your planning one involving me and Cameron alone in a tent. Well that’s perfectly fine with me.” She smiled meekly. Cebastian pulled his hand out of my pants and wiped it on the bed covers. He pulled his hand off of my breast. I hadn’t noticed it was there.
“Well, we were planning on going camping with you guys. We thought you and Cameron might enjoy it.” He smiled. “Cameron will especially enjoy it.” He chuckled. “Besides you and Kara can finally get caught up.”
“Alright” Catherine said. “Ill go get packed. Can one of you tell Cameron? Does he know that I have cancer?”
“No Catherine we haven’t told everyone yet.” I said. I gave her a hug. “It will be okay. Go get packed. Ill get Cameron.” I left the room and was immediately in Cameron’s door. I rapped on it loudly.
“Come in” I heard him say. I opened the door and saw him sitting on his bed playing a guitar. “Surprise, surprise.” He said. “If it isn’t sweet, beautiful Kara. I don’t have time to talk to you. Go away. Please.”
“Cameron, how many times do I have to apologize to you? I know how much it broke your heart when I married cebastian. But he is the one I love. You’re just a good friend. Besides I heard Catherine really likes you.
“So what. She wont live long now will she.” He said with a sigh.
“How did you know?” I asked him. “We never told you.
“Your guy’s room is right above mine. I can hear you talking.” He said. Then he set his guitar down on the bed. “How could you betray me so Kara? When I saw you come out of the tent holding cebastians hand, I thought it would just blow over, but then again, it didn’t.” he sighed. “I loved you Kara. Won’t you ever understand? Just do one last thing for me Kara, please. Just kiss me one last time.”
“I can’t Cameron. Oh how I missed you. You’re like a brother to me. Won’t you understand? Oh how can I explain this to you?”
“Please Kara. Just kiss me. I only need you to it once. Than I can move on. Ill make your cousin feel loved if you do. Please, do it for you cousin.
“Alright” I said. “But only for my cousin. She needs someone to love really bad.” I put my hands on his shoulders and touched my lips to his. Just then cebastain walked into the room.
“What the hell are you doing Kara? How could you do this to me?” he slammed his fist into the wall. When he pulled it away there was a huge hole.
“It’s not her fault” I heard Cameron say. “I talked her into it. She was just doing her part of a deal cebastion. Don’t get mad at her. Be mad at me.”
“What deal?” cebastian said. “Dammit what deal has to do with you kissing him Kara?” I only watched as he slapped me in the face. “Tell me now, you stupid bitch”
“It was only a deal. I was trying to make Catherine feel loved before she died Cameron said He would love Catherine with all of his heart if he just got one kiss from me.” I bursted into tears.
“Oh I see” he said. “Im sorry Kara. God please forgive me. I just lost it. You know how much I love you.” I watched the pained expression on his face.
“Sometimes cebastian I just don’t know anymore” I pushed him out of the room with all of my strength and finally shut the door behind him. “Cameron will you please just go camping with us? Do it for Catherine. She’s the one who needs it.”
“I will Kara.” He said. “Go to cebastian. He probably needs you right now.” He kissed me on the forehead then pushed me out the door. I walked slowly up to my room. The door was shut. I knocked gently on the door. No answer.
“Come on cebastian; let me in, you know I love you.” I knocked again. Still no answer. “Fine” I said. “I guess im just not wanted anymore. I might as well just take the baby and leave.” Suddenly I heard the door open and cebastain was standing next to me.
“Don’t leave Kara” he said through the tears. “Please I really need you” just then I threw my arms around him and kissed him on the lips. He looked shocked for a moment then composed his features. “I was hoping you would do that.” He smiled. “So are we still going camping?” he asked me.
“Yeah” I said. “Let’s get packed” I went to the closet and grabbed a bunch that probably wouldn’t even for camping I didn’t even care. I tossed them into a suitcase.
“Actually” he said. “Were going to a hotel. I’ve already arranged it”
“When did you do this?” I asked him absentmindedly. I was to busy thinking about the weekend ahead.
“Just now. I hope you don’t mind. They have a pool, darling. Think of the new experiences. Hmmm, I can’t wait. I already talked to Cheyenne she’ll watch Candice while we are away. So every thing is taken care of. Cameron and Catherine are packing right now. We will a hotel room with two different bedrooms so it will be quite comfortable and quiet” he planted a kiss on my lips. “Cameron’s ready” he said. “Catherine just got done packing. Lets go.” He lifted me into my arms and carried me out to his car. He set me in the passenger seat of the hearse, and then ran upstairs to get my bags. While he was gone I felt a pair of hands cover my mouth. I tried to scream. Then I heard Cameron laugh.
“Its okay, Kara.” He said. “Im just joking with you.” He kissed my on my shoulder.
