marry so bad…..
As we got out of the room Chris was locked in for 2 days, we tried to walk quietly and had close eyes and ears on the hall for any lurking minions. We passed 3 long halls and no sign of Alexander or his people. That’s when I noticed a beautiful red cherry door. I stopped the guys and pointed to the door. “This had to be Alexander’s room. It was the only nice door out of the mansion so far we saw” Chris referred. “This could be it.” I whispered to them nodding in agreement. “How do you know?” Kevin asked both Chris and I. “I just had a feeling.” I answered back. But probably in reality, I just knew even though I had sex with Alexander doesn’t mean I knew what door it was. Slowly opening the door I poked my head in and looked all around for any sign of Alexander. So far so good….


“Where the hell is it?!” I yelled as Chris and Kevin looked under the bed and in the drawers and I went to Alexander’s bathroom and looked all over. “I don’t see any damn evidence!” I said loudly getting frustrated. I sighed loudly as I pulled my curly hair back. I walked out of the bathroom and sat on his red love seat. “Nothing…” Kevin said clearly upset as well. “nada.” Chris added and then st on his bed. We looked at one another….we knew this wasn’t going nowhere.
“What now?’ I asked. “I don’t know.” Kevin said as he sat by me. “we should give up and get out of here.” Chris added. We both looked at Chris. He was right….
Before we really get stuck….
“okay.” I said as I slapped my thigh and stood up. Kevin stood up followed by Chris. As we headed towards the door, that’s when we heard a woman groan. We all froze. “Did you hear that or was that just me?” Chris said worried. “No we hear it too.” I said. I walked toward the sound as the woman moaned again. “It’s behind this book case!” I said in excitement. While I began to touch all the books on the shelf trying to see if any of them would open. The boys helped me and finally found the right one. As the book case opened it was dark and full of spider webs. We slowly walked inside as our hands were against the wall, trying to find a switch. Chris found the switch as it turned on, hurting our eyes a bit. But only to be a flickering light. As we looked around as saw it was an empty grey dull room with only a woman tied up. Frightened, the woman spotted us and tried to back away. She had strawberry color hair and brown eyes. She was pretty but you could tell she was weak and a human. She was tied in silver looking chains that were tightened around her ankles and wrists. I could smell blood on her. She must have had open wounds from trying to escape several times. Her mouth was tapped up as well. Kevin ran over and gently took off the tape. The woman was my age as she breathed out loudly. “Thank you.” She gasped and tried to smile at us. I walked over about to ask her questions when her eyes went wide with fright. Apparently she didn’t notice me and just the guys because she was trying to back away from me and because she even yelled stay back.
I stopped confused and getting pissed off. Who the hell she think she is? “Stay back.” she repeated as Chris and Kevin glared at me. “This woman is good.” Chris tried to explain. “Are you sure?! You shouldn’t trust her, the man who tied me up says she belongs to him!” he exclaimed. “who?” Kevin asked curiously as he stayed knelled beside the woman. “The master he calls himself.” She added. “Alexander.” I said to both of them. “See! She knows his name! Stay back!” she yelled. “shhhh!” Kevin said. “He will hear us. And she’s with us she’s good.”
“no she isn’t!” the woman hissed. That was it I flitted over so close to her I bared my fangs. She yelped as Kevin pulled me back. “Shirley…” Kevin said hissing at me in my era. “The woman is just confused.” He added. “More like out of her mind.” I said glaring at her. I brushed away from Kevin as I walked up to Chris. “I’m not crazy. If was, I wouldn’t have heard you have sex with him.” She said. I paused and turned around. “What did you say?” I growled. How did she know?! Was she there the whole time when I did it with Alexander and even fought with him. She cocked her strawberry shortcake brow, “that’s right girlie…I heard you have sex with him.” I felt Chris’s and Kevin’s stares at me. My lips tensed. “Is that’s true Shirley?” Chris asked not wanting to believe what the woman said. I didn’t say anything. I looked down at my feet. “Is it?” Kevin demanded, I could feel him getting angry. I looked back at the woman. I gave her a death stare. But also I believe I should tell them. “Yes….” I said sadly. “But because he forced me! He tricked me!” I began to yell. Kevin turned around. Now he knows how I feel like. “and when were you going to tell me?’ he said seriously. “Oh don’t give me bull shit Kevin, I was going to tell you sooner.” I said. Kevin swirled around and flitted towards me right in my face and yelled, “BUT YOU DIDN’T!” Chris limped over quickly and went right in the middle of both of us. “Kevin enough…she didn’t mean it.” Chris defended. Kevin glared at Chris and walked away. The woman giggled in the background and I looked over to her and flitted over by grabbing her neck and lifting her up in the air. She was gasping for air and frightened to death. “Shirley!” Chris yelled and flitted over and pulled me away from the woman as I dropped her. She was gaping loudly again as Chris took my face in his hands. I was looking down. I was hurt…..
“Shirley….look at me.” he said softly. I raised my eyes up to Chris’s eyes and he noticed my eyes all watery. Chris stroked my cheek and he knew that I didn’t want to have sex with Alexander. He raped me….
Chris kissed my forehead and hugged me. Now that the truth came out, Kevin wouldn’t even look at me. He felt betrayed. I could feel it. Ha! Don’t like don’t you, Kevin!
After that moment, Chris turned around and held my hand. The woman sat there grinning from ear to ear. Ooo so close to ripping that freaking grin off!
Looking serious as ever, Chris asked, “do you even know Alexander?”
“I met him once and don’t want to know more about him.” She said. What’s your name?” Chris asked. “Bethany.” Bethany said. “What was that? The freak out you had over my friend?” Chris asked again. Bethany glared at Chris and she knew what he was talking about. Calmly Bethany said, “She looked a lot like that one woman Alexander wanted to marry…when she died?” Bethany asked. “I never died...…I was turned by my friend.” I explained to her. “I’m new…so since birth I was human and grew up to one.” I added just as calm. Bethany looked at me. I caught her.
“oh.” She said softly. “Well behind me I have a book that one of his men hid behind me. Check it out…but release me first.” She said. We all stared at one another wondering who will do it. I sighed and walked over to her and grabbed the book and handed to either Kevin or Chris. I wasn’t looking because I was ripping at the cuffs she had on her wrists and bare feet.
Once that was done, she stood up and brushed herself off. She was taller than me. Probably around 5’10, since I was 5’8 and thinner as well. All she had on was an old worn out blue long men’s shirt that went up to her mid thighs. Great…just what I needed. Feeling my clothes dry already, I went over to Chris who had the book. The book before my eyes was an old dusty, nice ancient book. Thick and heavy….
Together we opened the book and looked through it. Half of the pages were blank and I was having second thoughts about Bethany. Until, we came upon several old pictures. Looking through the pictures, Chris and I examined the pictures. But one picture I noticed was a married couple on their wedding. They smiled in the picture and the woman looked beautiful and the man looked handsome. “Shirley…she looks just like you.” Chris whispered. I looked at Chris. “What are talking about?” I asked. “Look!” he said and I looked at the picture again. I gasped when I did. The woman in the photo looked like a splitting image of me! And the man next me was Alexander! Speechless, I stared at the photo. “You’re the woman that Alexander wants to marry again.” Chris said just as shocked. No way…
I flipped the photo around and in cursive handwriting it says:

1825
Christopher,
My wedding day with the love of my life.
Many blessings,
Your brother, Alexander.

Your brother?

I looked up at Chris who looked astonished. “I never had a brother.” He said.

“Well he obvious said “your brother” Chris.”
I referred. “Then he must be my long- lost brother.” Chris said softly to himself.
We kept looking through the photos and it got worse. One of the photos was a picture of the woman that looked like me an around her neck was a gold necklace with a small diamond. It was my grandmothers!
“Chris look!” I pointed in the photo. “That’s my grandmother’s necklace! I haven’t seen it since jack stole it from me.” I exclaimed. It was almost by fate that something fell on my foot when Chris moved a bit. Looking down I saw a gold necklace with a small diamound on it! Excited, I picked it up and held it in my hands. “Kevin!” I called. Kevin turned around as I looked at him with a happy smile. “My necklace! Remember! It was taken by jack and haven’t seen it since.” I added. Kevin’s face lightened up as he walked away from Bethany. Wonder what they were talking about……
I wrapped it around my neck and clicked it as it stayed there. I touched it. I was so happy to see it again…. But does that mean that this was my ancestor?
And did it first belong to her?
This ran through my head, but I didn’t care I was happy I got it back.

The four of us Bethany, Chris, Kevin and I walked out of Alexander’s room. With Bethany being the only human we had to walk slow for her…..
Kevin and Bethany walked up front while Chris and I walked in the back. We were keeping an eye out for each other. Bethany was shaking up and down and I wondered if she was faking it. Oh! How I hated her.
Watching her she got closer to Kevin and grabbed his hand. About to throw a fit I remembered about Chris who was injured. Chris was limping and he looked a bit better since he was half vamp. But he looked hungry. I leaned closer to him and
