And All Things Will End

"God I'm sorry! I wasn't thinking!" I cried, how am I supposed to know what dealing with jimmy was practically suicide, not that he really gave me any other choice, it was this or have these people who took me in suffer in my spot for helping me out in the first place.

Matt re-assured me we could go to the common grounds
'a place where no vampire could attack a human or vise versa'
ha I laughed at that statement, I couldn't really see a rally of humans like me going to war with vampires any time soon, at least not without a few thousand navy seals as back up.
Then we could talk to Chrissies boss Zachary.. yes the scary psycho who tried to attack us earlier, about changing our deal with jimmy.

"Your not talking about the guy who tried to grab me are you?"

I wasn't keen on meeting with that creepy fuck again any time soon, something about him really made me nervous. It might have been the evil look in his deep green eyes or the fact that he wanted to strangle me as he sucked the life from my body.
I don't know take your pick.

"look Kayla, I understand he might be scary
but at the moment his blood line is the only one equal to Jimmy's.
Hes the only one we can really barter with, if not, wel just have to settle for your prior arrangements". Matt sighed..

Another stray tear fell from my cheek as I took a sip from my mocha Chrissie had made after our ordeal. I wiped my eyes again with my sleeve and thought about what we had talked about since Jimmy's visit.

So far the guys hadn't mentioned much about him actually.

The back story from them was before his "mother" turned him, I say mother lightly as she is the head vampire and jimmy is her second in charge from the day he was umm 'converted'.

He attended Huntington high with Matt and Brian.
He had grown up with the guys and from what they tell me most others that break any of Huntington's rules weren't given a second chance...
So we had gotten off lightly thanks to him.

We packed up backpacks with the necessities, you know your everyday stuff, just a few guns with silver bullets, some
vials of holy water and a couple of broken baseball bats to use as stakes. Wonderful.

The four of us gathered in the lounge, Brian had changed into a pair of black leather looking pants, I couldn't help but admire his ass when he bent down to place his mini cross bow into the pack. He also wore a black and white pin stripe t shirt with the sleves torn off, wow he looked good, he winked at
me as I blushed a light shade of pink.

Matt just wore cargo shorts and a hoodie, one of those band ones, Metallica? Maybe?
I don't know I'm not a huge music fan..
He tossed the other pack over his shoulder, his muscles flexed as he lifted the bag with ease even though it probably weighted half of me.

Chrissie had lent me some of her so called 'more natural' attire.
she handed me knee length stomping boots that had ribbon laces with leggings and a black and pink tutu and a black tank with the words 'bite me' written in red on the front. How ironic.

If I had the natural look then Chrissie was beyond extreme,
she twirled around the room in her Doc Martians with fish net stockings that had plenty of rips, she fashioned the fish nets with a bright purple tutu and a red and black corset. It didn't look skanky at all, it looked tough. I admired her courage as we talked over our plan once more.

Matt and Chrissie we're going to make a break for Chris's car as Brian and I waited for them to honk. Brian told me to run once I left the porch, and if anything happened to keep moving to the car. He was very clear, "DO NOT STOP FOR ANYTHING" he said, "even me" he whispered in my ear...

i blushed again as he pulled me in close to his side in a protective manner, I looked up to his face that didn't show a sign of fear, his strong features tense and ready for action.

We were waiting at the door, listening for any activity outside,
Matt nodded to Chrissie who let out a slow breath and gave him the 'ok' symbol with her hand.

He opened the door as slowly and quietly as humanly possible, and a confused expression crossed his face.
He bent down and picked up a small velvet red box with a
golden ribbon.
There was a letter attached to the underside of the box and it
was addressed to me?

"It's for you" Matt whispered as he clicked the door
shut, he handed me the little box, it wasnt much larger
than the envelope it hid on the underside. I turned it over in my hand and read the script like writing.

'Miss Kayla Mc Carter'
I pulled the envelope from the box and set it
aside as I lifted the lid, inside of the little box sat four rings,
two golden bands with rubys that gleamed and sparkled in my eyes and two plain thick golden bands with a script written inside the band that I couldn't make out. It had to be written in Latin or some other dead language.
I looked at The ruby ring then to Brian who picked up a golden band.

"Is that what I think it is" Chrissie rolled the ring between her fingers as she gawked at the rather large stone on top of the gleaming band.

"Yeah.." Matt sighed "it's a protection bond"..
