Your mine!

One look in your eyes took me by complete surprise because I knew it was true that I'd never love anyone but you. I didn't want to need you and God knows I never wanted to love you but God help me, I do. I didn't even notice at all until, I took the fall. You & me were never supposed to be, I can see it all, played out like a bad melody in my head. We were never supposed to touch, we were never supposed to feel this much. You family will deceive, lie and do anything to get you to say goodbye. They'll say that I'm like a disease that is slowly destroying you but that's not true. I can only hope to convince you that against all odds, we're meant to be. Your like the greatest surprise, when I looked into your eyes, I knew it was true, there could never be anyone else for me but you. So, I'm going to say one more time just in case you haven't heard it in these few lines. The world may leave you behind but I never will, I'm yours and your mine and I love you still, I always will. Love Nikolas XOXOXOXO

Chapter 8: misplaced plans

He had every intention of confessing his true feelings when he walked towards the house. He heard voices and realized it was Adia and her mother Dominique, talking about the upcoming wedding. He stayed back and hid in the shadows and listened in on them. He could hear her mother gushing about how happy she was about the union. It made him sick and rethink his plans. He went back to his house with nothing resolved. Sara and Kristopher were both there.

Sara spoke up and broke the silence, "How did it go?"

"It didn't go at all."

"What happened did you chicken out?"

"No but your mother was there and I couldn't interrupt and besides it's better this way."

"How can you say that, when I know that you love her?"

Kristopher intervened, "Maybe you should stay out of it and leave it between my brother and your sister?"

"I can't because there is something that you just don't know and besides they belong together, I just know it."

"What makes you say that, you do realize that if your right it will successfully end your line indefinitely right?"

"No, it won't and what are you talking about?"

"Well, if my brother pursues this and actually convinces your sister to be with him forever, it could only mean one thing, for her to become a vampire. That would end your bloodline completely wouldn't it?"

"Yes, it would, if that were to happen right this minute but if it happened in a year from now it wouldn't."

Nicolas said, "What are you talking about now?"

"I can't tell you, I made a promise to someone."

"If you have other siblings or family we don't know about that's fine but if you are going to tell us about your mom being pregnant or having sex, you can keep that bit of information to yourself."

Sara looked away as if she was hiding something that would change everything.

After a few moments Kristopher spoke up again, "Honestly, I think you should forget about her because she is only going to break you and hurt you even more. I mean did you honestly think it could end any different?"

"Yea, I know that your right but I can't seem to get her out of my head though. I mean the mere thought of her marrying someone else drives me absolutely crazy but I don't know what else to do."

Sara spoke up next, "I have an idea, why don't you write her a letter telling her how you feel about her. I will give it to her moments before her wedding, that way if she doesn't return your feelings, she will marry him but if she does, then she will walk out on her own wedding."

"That sounds like a good workable plan to me, let's do it but you have to promise that you won't read it ok?"

"Fine, I promise that I will not read it ok?"

Since he didn't have the nerve to face the fact that he was hopelessly in love with Adia, therefore he decided to write her a note with a poem on it that expressed everything that he felt for her but was afraid to admit. He passed it onto Sara and told her to give it to her sister on her wedding day. This way he would know if she felt the same as he did. Sara was going to instruct Adia where to meet Nikolas if she decided not to go through with the wedding plans.

The wedding was fast approaching; there were so many things to do still. Adia wanted her sister there but their mother would never allowed it to happen. This is why Sara had planned to sneak inside her bridal room moments before the wedding. But as everyone knows even the best laid plans can fall apart at the last minute, which is what happened. Their mother and he groom, increased security, which made it nearly impossible for Sara to get anywhere near her sister unless she charged into the church during the ceremony. Of course Sara didn't realize this until it was far too late. She comes back from the church to give Nikolas the bad news.

"Well, did you give her my note? What did she say?"

"No, I never got the chance to give to her. There were too many guards around, I never even got in to see her. I'm so sorry; maybe I should have never suggested this."

He hung his head sadly and said, "So, that it then, it's over then?"

Sara didn't know how or what possessed but she blurted out loudly, "No, it can't be over, it can't end like this, not when there's a baby involved?"

He had this look of utter shock on his face as he said, "What baby are you talking about?"

Sara hung her head and turned away from him. She refused to meet his eyes because she knew that the truth would betray her.

After a few moments of her silence, he spoke up again, "Well what baby are you talking about?"

She quietly said, "Adia's baby, she pregnant."

He stood up and started pacing around the room and then he finally said, "By that tool?"

Sara got really quiet and this is the scene that Kristopher walked into as he came home. He noticed that something was wrong immediately.

He voiced his concerns, "What's going on? Let me guess your plan backfired and blew up in your faces right?"

"No but your girlfriend forgot to mention the fact that Adia is pregnant though."

"What is that true, Sara?"

"Yes, but let me explain first."

Nikolas started screaming at her, "There's nothing to explain, you were trying to get me to break up a family, what's wrong with you anyway?"

"What are you talking about, what family?"

"Oh, gee, I don't know, except the one that Adia and the tool are going to be when their baby is born."

Sara couldn't help herself or stop the words as they left her mouth as she yelled out, "Wow, you're so stupid, he's not the father, you are."

Nikolas stood there in shock and then he said, "No, you must be mistaken because that's impossible."

Sara smiled and said, "Well, I don't know how it happened but it's true and whether or not you or my sister wants it to be true that is beside the point. She's plans on raising your child with someone else and she never intended for you to find out either. Now what are you going to do about it?"

"What can I do about it? She already made up her mind about what she wanted to do. There's nothing that I can do about it."

"Yes, there is something you can do. You can tell her that you love her and maybe she will give up this fantasy and face the reality of her true feelings."

"Maybe that's an option but what if she doesn't feel the same for me? I'm not sure if I can take that type of rejection again."

"Yes, that's true but if you don't take a chance, you may regret for the rest of your life and hers. I mean don't you want the chance to be in your child's life with the woman you love?"

"Of course that's what I want more than anything but we don't even have a way to get into the church and see her. I mean even if I wanted to how would I get inside to talk to her?"

"I'm glad you asked, I have a plan in place and with a little bit of timing on my part it could work out."

"Fine but I have to ask after everything that I did to you while you were human, while are you helping me? I mean me and your sister together; I would think that would be your worst nightmare, right?"

"While, I will admit that you being with my sister was a shock and I didn't handle it well but I've never seen her as happy as she was with you. I know that we've had our differences in the past but you've changed and so have I. If you make my sister happy that's all that I care about. I'm not helping you out of some misplaced guilt, I'm doing it for a purely selfish reason, my sister's happiness, she'll never be happy in a loveless marriage. She tries to be hard like our mother but she's really not hard."

Nikolas stared at her and smiled and said, "Wow, thanks for the vote of confidence but I hope your right."

"Believe me, I am right."

"Ok, well then tell me what the plan is then?"
