When hope returns!

Aunt Susan's room still smells like perfume. And grabbed a pillow and lie down on her bed that she made probably not even an hour ago. why is all this happening. How do you go from happy to sad, in moments. She can't be gone. Aunt Susan may not have been there when I was little, but we were always close. I remember when I was little, she used to bring me dolls and play hours with me. My mother always ask if she came to visit me or her. I even remember when my brother used to sneak out, and she would cover for him when dad was looking all over for him. She always told dad that he needs to chill and have a little of fun. She was like a big sister to me. My mother was always the responsible one, where Aunt Susan will dress up and party. How will I ever forgive myself for putting her life in danger. I should've listened to my gut and never get involved in a life that only exist in movies, but its to late now, Aunt Susan is gone, and she is not coming back, and it's all my fault..... hours went by with me just sitting in Aunt Susan's room.

Jades POV

" is she ok?" I asked Lizzy over the phone.

" I don't know, she went inside. I called 911 and broke some windows and smashed the door, made it look like someone broke in. I had to stab aunt Susan to make the bite marks look like someone stabbed her,"

I took a deep breath, it feels like the life is draining out of me I'm sorry you have to cover it up".

It's ok Jade, you know I would do anything for you"

" do you think she will ever forgive me?" I asked Lizzy, I don't know if I will ever forgive myself, but seeing the girl I love rejecting me was the most painful feeling I have ever felt in my life

" It wasn't your fault Jade, we need to get Miane away from here" I kept quiet, I have to go, the police are here and the ambulance, I will speak to you soon" Lizzy dropped the call.

For a moment I just stand in silence, Miane's face haunting me when she realized her Aunt is gone.

I started smashing everything in my apartment. The Mirror the only thing I had left from my mother I smashed against the wall. Riaan came inside from the backdoor.

Riaan we need to find this fucker who did this to Miane's aunt I want to rip him to peaces" I said to Riaan. " No, you need to be smart Jade, who ever did this, did it for a reason, they want Miane, she is still the target here, and Darrel and all the others won't stop until she is dead. I grabbed a bottle from the counter and smashed it against the wall. She will never forgive me, I promised her, I fucking promised her I will never let anything happen to her or her aunt. I started punching my fist into walls and broke everything my hands could touch. Riaan didn't say or do anything, he left me to get the anger out. After a few moments I sat on the floor, my whole apartment smashed. I let this happened. I should've protected her from the pain. She shouldn't have to go through this pain again.

Riaan and I were sitting in the kitchen for what felt like hours not talking, not saying anything. My memories went back to Miane being a little girl, I smiled every time I saw her drive a bike, or when she made the soccer team, and she got punched with the ball in the face, I remember it like it was yesterday how I ran up to her, but before I could reach her, she stood up and shake herself off. I knew by then she is a strong person.

3 WEEKS LATER!

MIANE's POV

It feels like days that passed by when I opened my eyes. My eyes still swelled and red of all the crying. Aunt Susan's room is empty. Its 8:30 Saturday morning. By this time she would've made breakfast already, and shout from downstairs 100 times for me to get up, just because I'm missing the best part of the day. The music would've been load, and she would sing along with what ever music she was listening too. Now all I hear is people downstairs trying to make things easier for me. Aunt Kiara and Sam came back the second they heard Aunt Susan's accident" how ironic is that, a vampire killed my Aunt father and mother, and here I am sitting with a house full of vampires.

" are you coming down?" Sam asked from my bedroom door. " Just give me a minute please"

Sam nod and left my bedroom.

I breathed in and out a few times and went downstairs. Everyone kept quite the moment I walked into the kitchen.

" don't keep quiet on my behalf" I said to everyone and pour myself a glass of water. Jozell took out a letter and placed it in my hand. I looked confused my eyes still blood shot. " Whats this?" I asked. She just smiled and gave me a sympathetic smile. I down my glass of water and went back upstairs And closed my door and opened the letter.

My dearest Miane

The letter is from Jade.

I wish I could've been there for you with your aunts funeral, but I know you asked for space, and while giving you space, I'm also searching for answers. I will make this right I promise you. You have to believe me that When I tell you that I love you, that I mean it with every bone in my body. You're my everything, and if I can find the slightest bit of hope to get this target of your back, I will take it, even if it means dying myself. You're my light Miane, I have so much darkness, but you're my light. Your love shines through me. You teach me how to see all that is beautiful. I hope that you will keep shining not just for me, but for yourself, you're my hope. I know you think you have no sunshine left, but you're the sunshine in my life. Please stay strong.

I love you and hope when I do come home that you will find it in your heart to forgive me.

With Love Jade.

I closed the letter and sat for a while. It's been 3weeks now since Aunt Susan was buried. And ever since then everyone is been in and out my house, everyone except Jade. I know I told him the day before the funeral that I need space, but every day without him is hard. Will I ever heal from all this ongoing pain? I thought I could live without him, but I can't. Death is inevitable, but knowing this does not make it any easier to endure the loss of a loved one. I remember My mother telling my brother that It's important to remember that love and forgiveness are the keys to healing. I could never understand this statement, but now I do.

I do love him, and even if I see aunt Susan lying on the porch every time Jade kissed me and hugged me, I want to get pass this, I want to love him and forgive him. As sad as it sounds he is the only one left that loves me with all his heart. I can't keep blaming the people that loves me. Aunt Kiara, Jade. My dads obsession with vampires caused this, not them.

I picked up my phone from the dresser and my fingers slide over is name, but it goes straight to voicemail.

JADE'S POV

I kept searching for answers but it's a dead end.

I will fucking never be able to keep her safe as long as that serum is running through her veins. I keep in touch with Lizzy every day to make sure she is ok, and that no harm will come to her while I'm away. I wish I could just be with her, but we will never be truly together as long as every other vampire wants to kill her. I came across witches in België, but it was a dead end, the moment the witches heard about the serum they turn a death ear. I don't care if it's Miane's father, if he was alive today, I would beat the fucking shit out of him. Why can he let his daughter be a target for his obsession? I for one thought about just biting the girl that I love and wipe away the vampires myself, she will survive the bite, but she will not survive losing the only people that is left there for her.

I heard a knock on the door.

I put on a shirt and the knock was getting louder I'm coming fuck it!"

I opened the door and for one moment I thought I was seeing a ghost and all hope I though was lost, was standing right in front of me

" It's you!"
