have to be.”
He reached for my arm. I jerked it away. “For me, stay and train, we’ll bring down jarrared, and his nomads together” he begged, pouring his liquid onyx eyes into mine.
“And you’ll help me train?” I asked.
“You have my word!” he said fiercely.


Chapter
That night Boone and I started practicing. Two thousand sit ups. Ten miles and 19 back flips, nothing less, and certainly nothing more.
“Your worser than Dillinger!” I was sore, I could barley walk. Boone carried me through the door when we got home.
“Its because I love you!” I flicked the lights on and seen my parents waiting for me.
“Where have you been?!” My dad’s voice boomed in the silence. Boone set me down, and turned the lights on.
“I’ll call you later” I turned to boone, rushing him back out of the door.
“Upstairs!” I whispered in to the wind.
“Goodnight Mrs. And Mr. ray.”
“WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN YOUNG LADY, WE CALLED THE HOSPITAL SO DON’T YOU DARE TRY TO LIE!” My dad growled
“I, I, I umm” I was always a bad liar, “I was at the movies?” I looked towards my mom for help. Surely she would help if she thought me and Boone had spent so many hours doing what I think she was thinking.
“Calm down Levi!” she whispered.
“CALM DOWN” my dad stormed, launching himself off of the chair. “SHES BEEN OUT ALL NIGHT, WITH A BOY AND YOU WANT ME TO CALM DOWN, I COULD JUST IMAGINE WHAT THEY WERE UP TOO?!” He blushed.
“Exactly” My moms voice was calm.
“Dad, we didn’t do anything.” my moms face fell suddenly, so I added, “Regretful” it was the truth. Training would be the farthest thing from regretful that I could think of.
My mom half smiled.
“ IF YOU THINK FOR ONE MOMENT YOUNG LADY, THAT YOU CAN COME INTO MY HOUSE AT THIS TIME OF NIGHT, IN BOONES ARMS” He sneered boones name. And this immediately got my back up.
“I’m not asking permission to have a boyfriend dad. And I’m 17; I know what I’m doing. I’m not dumb, and neither is Boone. So if you can’t except the fact that Boone and I will be together. Forever, Then it would really suck!” I blushed. I never had to yell at my dad.
“And by the way, dad” I knew I’d regret the words before they even hit the air, but I wanted to hurt him as bad as his disliking for Boone had hurt me. “Boone Booker isn’t just some boy, he’s much more important to me than you!” I ran upstairs, half of me just wanting an escape.
“Boone,” I whispered; flipping the lights on. He was waiting in the center of my bed, with a disparaging look on his face.
“Look, I’m sleepy, my body hurts, and I’m emotionally drained. If you’re not going to have sex with me Boone, then scoot over and let me sleep! Please.” I half smiled. He scooted over, and naturally, I curled into a ball at his side.
“Goodnight, my love. I’ll be here when you awake. Just sleep. And we’ll take care of the nightmares together. Sleep now Quinn. Sleep.” his seductive voice did the opposite of put me to sleep. I looked up, raising my eyes brows. He exhaled.
“Go to bed Quinn!” His laugh shook the bed.
“Goodnight Boone……. I love you” I kissed his lips. Letting the tiresome day crash down on me in full. I was sleep before he’d even replied.
I woke up bright and early; running my hand across the rumpled covers spilled out over my bed. Where was Boone?
“Boone?” I stumbled out of my sleepy stupor.
“Shhhh” his head ducked from the closet. Pointing towards the door.
My dad came in. His skin slightly flushed. I got off my bed.
“Dad listen..” I started immediately, the faster I started, the faster we’d be done.
“Wait,” he held his hands up. “I’m sorry for blowing up last night. It was irrational, and well. I’m sorry” he looked out the window, probably wishing he could fly, far away right about now. “I didn’t know you and Boone were that serious. I was surprised actually.” he blushed. “I just thought he was here until, you know” He ducked his head. “ until Montey came around.” he blushed. The hiss that sounded from the closet was almost a growl. One that only I could hear, I was a super human.
“Well, dad. I’m sorry, but Boone is who I choose. Montey was never the one for me. I see that now, I just need for you to too, Boones an irrevocable part of my life dad. Get used to it.” He nodded and waited.
“Was there something more?” I looked at his figure,
He blushed “well I umm, wanted to ask you something.” he turned his head, facing my closet door, Avoiding my eye. “Were you serious? About, you know…” his voice wavered. It didn’t take me to long to figure out what he was asking.
“Oh, um no dad.” I lied, or at least I think I lied.
“O, okay, well then. I’ll see you later. And remember it’s a school night, so be in by 11.”
“You’re leaving?” I accused, raising my eyes brows.
“Yeah, mom and I have a huge business meeting in new York. We wont be home till Friday night, when David comes back home.” My mom went to different cities and states advertising new cars before they hit the lot. She was always gone, so eventually, my dad played tag along, and scored a job too.
“Okay,” I nodded my head. I’d have the house all to myself, maybe it was a good thing they were leaving. Boone and I would need a bigger play pen the next time he’d decide to make love to me again. I smiled.
“Have fun dad, don’t worry about me” I was in a rush now, couldn’t wait for them to get out of the house.
“Hey! Remember not too late home.” And he walked out. I skipped to the closet.
“Boone!” I squealed. I couldn’t remember the last time I was this happy, except for the other night. “We have the whole house to ourselves! For the week pretty much.
So you know what that means?!” I pulled at the button on his pants. He laughed, smacking my hand away.
“Okay, but I have to hunt first! I haven’t eaten in weeks, its killing me. literally!” this was the akward moment I’d been dreading, knowing I was supposed to stop the exact thing that he was about to go do, but knowing I wouldn’t. I loved Boone more than anyone in the world, I’d risk them all to have him healthy.
“I know Quinn,” he processed my changing mood. “I wont hunt in the city, I’ll go somewhere far.” he smiled a bit. “Atleast you know I wont kill the human, It will only turn into a vampire, like me.” he smiled wider, proud that he was no longer a murderer, just a murderer breeder.
“I’d much rather you’d kill them. So in their next life, I wont have too.” I tried to joke. he hissed.
“I’m kidding I’m kidding” peace making now, “go now, and come back soon.” I kissed his lips awkwardly.
“Quinn , I don’t appreciate the fact that you keep using my body for you personal sins” he joked, shaking his head a bit.
“Marcela did, and you didn’t seem to mind, carrying her around school like a prized possession. I love you marcela blah blah blah….” I mocked him poorly.
He grabbed my hand, holding it too his frozen heart. Intensity froze his body, he caressed the side of my face with his palm, and down my neck, bending his perfect face towards mine.
“Its was more like, I love you marcella” He said in his liquid voice. Perfecting my mock. He did love her, damn! I sighed. My face fell.
“quinn?” he started when I did not look up from the floor. He grabbed hold of my face
“quinn, I do not love you, for love does for even come partial as to what I feel for you. You mean more to me than my life, and when we’re together, I cant remember Marcella’s name.” I started to smile. I knew I could believe every word he was saying to me, he had continued to be with me through out it all. No matter what? and if I said anything, Id probly run him away with the sappy replies running through my head now, but it seemed as if he wanted an answer.
“Hurry home!” he left me standing there, and jumped out the window. He would be home soon, so no need to worry.


Chapter
When he retuned home, I was in my pajama’s.
“Quinn” he smiled delightedly, “I thought my fairy tale was going to end as soon as I left.”
“Never,” I grabbed him onto the bed, “You have this fairy tale for forever” I traced the perfect lines of his face with my pinky finger.
“That’s exactly why, Jade, is going to help fight Laurent…. With us.” He spoke his words with careful deliberation.
“Boone!” I wiggled to try and break free, unsuccessfully. “You know your sister hates me!” I complained.
“It doesn’t matter, she’s promised to act kind towards you throughout the training, and that’s all that matter’s!” He nodded his head infinitesimally, “Anything to keep you safe,” he tacked on.
“So she’s going to be training with us too?” I pouted. He nodded,
“Sometimes, well, mostly she is.”
“Boone, please no!” I groaned, I’d have to hear about Marcella all day everyday now.
“You know your sister would much rather you be with the stinking vampire than the vampire slayer. Please, boone. For my sanity. don’t do this!” I could already hear her now. Marcella this and marcella that, blah blah blah…
Boone did not answer. So I looked up at him, what was his problem? His face was tight, like he was trying to fight back a smile of some sorts. But he eye brow furrowed. I was in trouble.
“Listen, I know she’s your sister and all. But its kind of-” he interrupted.
“No love, its not that its just, she wont have to talk about Marcella. Because Marcella will be there…” He ducked his head, pressing his lips to my collard bone.
“WHAT! I AM NOT TRAINING WITH MARCELLA!” I stormed, jumping up.
“The more the merrier”
“Absolutely not Boone, that’s out of the question.” I stamped my foot, and he laughed a little.
“Later, we’ll talk about this later my love. Come and sit next to me. I’ve been missing you all day while I was away.” I hesitated, wondering how much of my pride would be diminished if I did as he asked.
“No, Boone. There’s nothing more to talk about, I refuse to train with them…” It was unfair that he’d even ask me of such a thing, when I had no one on my side, it wasn’t fair that I would be the only one uncomfortable, and out of place. Unless montey was there.
“Boone! I have a prepossession for you.” he looked at my suddenly hopeful expression, and was instantly curious.
“What?” he hesitated.
“If Marcella and Jade train with us, then Montey has to play tag along as well.” I said my words deliberately, “Like you said, the more the merrier.” I smiled to myself, I knew for sure he wouldn’t allow for montey to be at such close proximity to me, when he was there, but instead of an immediate opposition, he hesitated. Biting his hard lips.
“Okay, we start tomorrow!” He announced joyfully.
