"What a bitch" Paul said looking from one bit to the next. They read what happened in Markos eyes. She left him seriously left him...and he didn't even kill her. What the hell? And she didn't even leave because of the Alina thing. She just used that as an excuse.
Alina Sat up from the bed in the cave. She didn't agree with what their saying but she was biased of course. "you guys are making it seem like she left the damn country for someone else she's just going a few towns away for a dance workshop in case you don't remember that's what she wanted to do with her life." She was a little upset she couldn't really do that anymore couldn't live the dream she had planned since she was four years old. She couldn't because these idiots and she envied Aislin for having that option. "Back off girl your only here because David still has a thing for you." Alina was taken back a minute. Really? David was impeccable at hiding his thoughts to those he didn't want creeping in. But not so much to the boys anymore. He wasn't there he was feeding, way more than he needed to as always, probably putting everyone at risk, but the citizens of Santa Carla were still running dumb and blind.
She went to Marko "she didn't do it to be cruel okay. I'm going to see her plane off in a few hours it leaves at five am. It'll still be dark. I know she'd love for you to come."
Marko looked up at her and said nothing.
"Are you for real? He's not going to see her fuck that. We have a night of partying and fun to attend. We've been acting like a gang of old ass count Draculas shut in like this. And it's Christmas time tons of tourist girls."
"Not enough skin to see" Marko mumbled.
"There's my boy!" Paul shot out the cave. Marko close behind.
"Dwayne you can't agree with them." Alina said before he had the chance to go out as well. He was the one with common sense right?!
Dwayne shrugged. "Aislin was fine. Until she hurt my brother." Alina shook her head. "You guys killed her sister." She said referring to herself. And in case you don't remember I hurt one of your brothers too. Why are you still tolerating me?" "Because he still loves you." She smiled. "Dwayne your not blind Marko still loves Aislin and she still loves him."
"What do you want me to do."
"Give her a chance when she comes back. Get Marko to come see her off with me. It'll be good for him."
Dwayne shook his head. He was torn. Marko was his brother first and foremost. And he did know Marko was pining for Aislin. He was the youngest of them all he hasn't felt love the way the rest of them had not even in his mortal life he hasn't experienced the loss of love and the regain of it. Aislin was alive and yeah maybe she did still love him. But she had a screwed up way of showing it. "I don't know Alina I'll see what I can do."
Alina watched him fly off and sighed as She crossed the room and looked around the cave admiring the Jim Morrison photo laying about. Aislin must have loved that. Her Doors obsession was beyond her. She went to the middle of the room and sat on the bed. So David still liked her? Why? She had abandoned him and apparently these guys had an issue with abandonment. She did like David quite a lot when she was human, why not now? Oh right he killed you. In order to be with you, Ahh! Her shoulder angels were fighting!
Aislin was in bed eyes wide awake. Her bags lay beside the door, filed with tights and leotards and books. She wasn't too nervous about the workshop that's not why she was up. Marko. Why? Why should she care he's screwed her over before and he knew she loved to dance. They never talked about their future.
"He let you know what he was that equals future Aislin." Alina entered the room through the window. She crawled in the bed beside Aislin. This was normal for them even when the both of them were human. It was so strange looking at Alina now, her blonde hair and naturally blood red lips were just so strange. She used to be a mirror image of Aislin but somehow quite a bit more lovely.
"He hates me."
Alina frowned. "Not entirely he's just hurt right now."
Aislin moved having the sheets rustle around her to stare at the ceiling. "He did it to me too Alina all the time."
"But that's not why your leaving right? To get him back?"
"Of course not! I love him. I really really do but...he doesn't want what I want."
"You'd don't even know what you want." Alina said
"I want some kind of normality in my life."
"Well maybe you shouldn't have fallen for a vampire, and have a vampire bestie."
Aislin said nothing she looked at the ceiling watching the glowing stars lose their light.
"He's not coming is he?"
Alina pursed her lips. "I asked Dwayne if he could help."
"It doesn't matter." Alina turned and pulled the blankets up to get chin.
Marko watched from a far the plane take off, he watched her look back. And just like that she was gone.
