Damned To Love Chapter Twenty Five
"What are you talking about?" I asked them. "Juana's been with you guys for over a month. You've been watching her every step. How can she have anything to do with my mom?""After you left I followed Juana," Anthony explained. "We couldn't just let her leave. Knowing her, she would be bound to do something stupid. I caught her talking on the phone with your mother.""Wait what?" I was growing more confused by the second. Everything they were saying to me wasn't adding up."Your mother's name is Ava, right?" Anthony confirmed. I nodded. "Well, Juana spoke to her on her cell phone. She said, 'Ava, you might want to cooperate with us or else your daughter may have some serious problems.'""I'm assuming she means me, when she said 'daughter,'" I groaned, feeling even worse when they nodded."She said 'us,' now we just have to figure out who she's working with," Eric told me."Lucas," I whispered. Things were starting to make sense in my head."Lucas?!" the three brothers exclaimed in unis

I sat in a silence for a minute processing what Emily had just said to me. "Juana changed you into a vampire? How do you know?"From what I understood, a vampire's memory of the change was often hazy at best, nonexistent at worst."You know how when a hunter is changed into a vampire, the hunter loses her powers?" Emily asked."Yeah, so?" I said not entirely sure where she was going with this."I think I know why that is," she said.I frowned at this. It was rare that a hunter ever turned into a vampire. They were always killed immediately after the hunters found out – them and the vamp who turned them. That meant that we didn't know very much about them. Why they lost their powers after the change was still a mystery."Well?" I prodded."I think Juana has my power.""What?!" I half shrieked. Emily had the power to clone herself. It was a rare power, and in a vampire's hands…"I think I saw her clone herself, but I'm not sure. That's the problem. It's why I'm so messed up. I think she
Damned To Love Chapter Twenty Seven
I couldn't make myself move for the first few minutes while I was back at the house. Hunters know to expect death, and if Ethan had died any other way, if Anthony hadn't been involved I might have been able to deal with the pain. I couldn't even collect my thoughts to figure out who I was supposed to call. Nicole? Ethan's parents?I wasn't ready to face any of them. I wouldn't be able to deal with the disgust from Nicole or the guilt I would get from seeing his parents. My own selfishness disgusted me. Here Ethan was dead because of me, and all I could worry about was my self.I finally worked up the nerve to get out my cell phone and call someone. The ideal person would've been my mother. I could use her no nonsense, methodical attitude right now, but she obviously wasn't an option so I settled for Cheryl.My throat was dry, and I was gasping as I tried to explain in broken sentences what happened. When Cheryl got the gist of it, she immediately teleported back to the house where she

My entire body froze, completely against my wishes, of course, when I saw him standing there. I closed my eyes for a second. I could do this. I could be strong. I would not make any more mistakes with him.I forced myself to look him straight in the eye. "Are you here to kill me now?" I asked coolly.It bothered me that he wasn't looking at me with the same cold expression that I remembered from the night Ethan had died. It would have been so much easier to hate him if he looked like that. Right now, he just had a pained expression. "Evelyn," he whispered softly."Where have you been?" Eric asked him. "Do you know what I went through trying to find you? And why does Evelyn think you hit her?"Anthony completely ignored his brother, keeping his eyes on me. "We need to talk," he said."There's nothing to talk about," I said. I glanced around at the crosses and tombstones that filled the cemetery. "Is your uncle here? The least you could do is warn me."Eric looked back and forth between

I ended up falling asleep while I was up in my room. When I woke up my alarm clock read six AM. I was surprised that no one had come to talk to me. I was even more surprised that I'd managed to sleep for as long as I had. Although, I really couldn't imagine who would even want to see me. I did think that Nicole would come try to find out what had happened though, but she was probably busy dealing with our mother's disappearance.I remained in bed and stared up at the ceiling. The numbness I had initially felt after the disaster was beginning to wear off. Reality was starting to crash down, and I realized that my biggest problems were not how miserable I was because of my breakup with Anthony. The Administratio would not be lenient or understanding and they were not above the death sentence.It bothered me to no end that breaking up with Anthony was affecting me this much. I was not the girl who cried over her boyfriend. Besides, it had been me who broke up with him, not the other way
Damned To Love Chapter Thirty
My hearing would take place at Andrew's house. He had been a member of the Administratio the longest and a lot of official business took place there because it was so large. I assumed they would be expecting a big turnout for my trial.Cheryl teleported me there since I couldn't do it on my own, and I resisted the urge to cringe when the entire room stared at me. Of course Cheryl would teleport me straight into the middle of the room. It was situated like a ballroom, with round tables all around for people to sit. I noticed that all the seats were filled up and some people were standing. The members of the Administratio were seated up front at a rectangular table facing everyone else.The tables at the front of the room were reserved for the guilty party and the people speaking out against them. Caroline had a vindictive look on her face when I looked at her. Ethan's father, Greg, kept perfect composure. His face was like stone, but he didn't even glance at me. He stared straight ahea

I was on edge by the time we got back to the house. Cheryl released her grip on me, but Olivia pushed me down to sit on the couch."What do you know?" she demanded.I stared at her blankly. There was no way I was about to give anything up. Olivia continued to glare at me."Olivia, relax," Nicole said as she pulled Olivia away from me."No, stop defending her. She knows way more than she's letting on. Where's Emily?" Olivia demanded."Mom will find out what she needs to from Evelyn, Olivia," Cheryl said softly. "Our biggest problem has been fixed. We have Mom back."Cheryl sank down into an armchair. I hadn't noticed how tired she'd been looking these past few days.Olivia pursed her lips and looked from Cheryl to Nicole. When she realized that she wouldn't be getting any support from them, she visibly deflated. "I don't like living with a traitor.""Yeah Olivia, you should really make sure to sleep with one eye open, I might just bring a hoard of my vampire friends to get you," I told

Anthony took my hand and led me to the couch. "Listen, about Ethan, I –"I cut him off. Ethan was the last person I wanted to talk about right now. "It's okay," I said. "I get that it wasn't your fault. I'm dealing with it. I just don't want to talk about it."He kissed my cheek. "Sure. So how are you? I was so worried. I'm thrilled that you're here, but I thought you'd be in more trouble."I looked at him carefully, wondering when he was planning to tell me about saving my mother's life. It didn't seem like he intended to any time soon. He was content to let it go unnoticed. He was going to be selfless. Unlike me who was planning to kill him because I was only thinking about myself. But that was the way I'd been raised."Why didn't you tell me that you talked to Lucas to save my mother?" I asked."I haven't exactly gotten a chance to talk to you in a while," he replied. "I wasn't sure he would do it, but I wanted to try.""How did you get him to listen? I never realized that he was s

Days passed, and we still hadn't killed Lucas. I was beginning to wonder if we ever would. Whenever I asked anyone, they said that they were waiting for the perfect time. The day-to-day monotony that came from doing nothing was wearing on me. More than once, I'd considered sneaking out at night to hunt some vampires just to work off all of my pent up energy, but I knew it was a bad idea. If any hunters caught me, I'd be dead. Even if I ever did work up the nerve to sneak out, there was no way it would be possible.Emily, Ethan, and my sisters came to the beach house to visit me often. I was suspicious that all the sporadic, unannounced visits were to make sure that I was staying in the house, but I didn't bring it up to anyone. The last thing I wanted was to get into another fight about how they all didn't trust me.I refused to talk to Anthony. He didn't seem too interested in talking to me either because I got no word from since I told him I wanted to break up. The rational part of
Damned To Love Chapter Eighty Two
Olivia and Emily looked from me to Anthony to me and took our unwavering attention from each other as their cue to leave the room. More of the same silence continued after they left. I wasn't sure where to start, so I was glad when he spoke first."How have you been?"I shrugged. "Oh, you know. I was lied to, and then I spent a few hours in a jail cell."He avoided my eyes when he spoke again. "I know you must be upset –""I really don't think you do," I interrupted. "You know, out of everyone, I expected you to be the one to always be honest with me.""I wanted to be. Things just got more complicated," he said softly."Complicated? I was so worried. I thought the Administratio was going to kill you! Not to mention Emily. And now I'm in hiding and we have to kill Lucas and everything is so messed up and –""It's not all about you, Evelyn," he yelled, cutting me off.I looked at him in shock. In all the time I'd known him, Anthony never raised his voice at me."Did you think about how
Damned To Love Chapter Eighty One
The fury built up inside of me, and everything I'd wanted to scream at her from the moment she brought Anthony and Emily to the house spilled out."You bitch! What the hell is your problem? You ruined everything. I bet you're happy seeing me here, aren't you? I don't care how many years I end up stuck in here, when I get out I am going to kill you!"I stopped ranting for a moment to try and breathe properly. It didn't help. I was panting like I'd just finished running a marathon. Olivia remained calm, staring at me through the bars of my cell like I was an interesting animal at the zoo.It made me angry, the way she just looked at me. I wanted her to say something back. I wanted her to be as upset as I was."You are just an awful person, you know that?" I continued when she remained silent. "You're an awful, disgusting, vile, despicable human being. I was trying to help Emily, but you just wouldn't let me because you're terrible. I never want to see you again. You messed everything up
Damned To Love Chapter Eighty
The plan was this: I was supposed to convince Cheryl to help us kill Lucas, and then Nicole would come down and help me explain what we'd learned about my power and how we could use it to fight him. At no point did we ever discuss Olivia capturing Anthony and Emily and bringing them to the house."What are you doing?" Cheryl asked Olivia. I wanted to know the same thing, and it was good that Cheryl asked because I was too stunned to speak."I found them outside, near the house," Olivia said."What?" I asked, finally finding my voice. There was no way Anthony or Emily would come anywhere near my house."She's lying, Evelyn. We were at the house. She came out of nowhere and got us," Emily said. Her big, green eyes were pleading with me.I was so confused. None of this made sense. I looked at Olivia, waiting to hear what she had to say about this. She didn't explain anything. She just stared back at me, her lips curled into an arrogant smirk. Then it hit me."You lied to me!" I screamed.

"Really?" I was intrigued about what they could have could have come up with since the Administratio was stumped."Hurry up and bring Ethan," Olivia told me impatiently.I hesitated. "You'll be nice to him? All of you? He's in a bad enough mood as it is so if you guys are just going bring him down more…""Evelyn, we have bigger problems than your vampire ex-boyfriend's feelings," Olivia said."He's not my ex-boyfriend," I protested, making sure to avoid looking at Anthony. I realized I would eventually have to tell him about Ethan almost kissing me, but that was a problem for another time."Just go get him, Evelyn," Nicole said."Fine, but if anybody does something I don't like, I'm leaving again." The words sounded bratty to my ears. I didn't want to come off as a child throwing a tantrum, but I needed to get my point across. I could never live with myself if Ethan died…again.I teleported back to the motel to get Ethan. I didn't say anything to him, just grabbed the sleeve of his sh

His lips were less than an inch away from mine. I was not going to let this happen."Ethan, no," I said pushing him away.His nostrils flared. "Why not?""Well, besides my boyfriend, you're covered in blood, so right now the idea of kissing you is kind of gross. No offense," I added.Ethan looked down at his messy clothing and sighed. "I guess you have a point. So you're still gonna stay with the boyfriend even though he wants me dead huh?"Oh no. I was not about to let him make me feel guilty. "Olivia and Nicole want you dead too. Should I disown them?"Ethan grinned playfully, all intensity forgotten. "I'd be very flattered if you did."I smiled back at him. "I'm going to going to get you some clean clothes. Will you promise me that you'll stay here while I'm gone? You could take a shower and try to wash off all the blood from your skin.""Sure thing, boss," he said.I frowned at how well he was cooperating with me. After all, just a few minutes ago he'd been set on having me kill h

"You turned him?" I shrieked, horrified and more confused than I'd ever been in my life."Really, Evelyn, your ability to put two and two together is quite mind blowing," Lucas taunted."That's n-not possible," I stammered, trying to wrap my head around what was clearly right in front of me.Lucas just stared back at me, amusement dancing in his eyes. I could tell he was enjoying everyone's confusion."We buried Ethan's body," Nicole murmured.That was exactly what I was thinking. Ethan was dead. I'd held his lifeless body myself. There'd been tons of people at his funeral. They'd all seen him get buried. It wasn't possible to change someone into a vampire after they died."What did you do, Lucas?" Anthony asked."I can't believe you're being so cold to me, Anthony. And all because of one little huntress," Lucas said. "Do you really think you can trust her? Think about it, she's already gotten you to invite two of her vampire-hating sisters into your home with open arms. It won't be l

"Sister, " Halimat called Rofiat who was situated on the bed missing mindedly. "Sister," she called once more, contacting Rofiat by the shoulder and yanking her off to the real world."Indeed," Rofiat went to reply."What's wrong? Since you returned, you've been looking so upset." Halimat said."Nothing dear," Rofiat turned around. Hadijat was currently remaining before her, on the side of Halimat's inquiry."Yet, you've not been adding to whatever we've been saying since," Hadijat participated in the discussion."Nothing," Rofiat attempted to counterfeit a grin."That is clearly false, it's all around your face that something is off-base" Hadijat demanded. "Accomplished something happen where you all went to?""Nothing occurred," she addressed forcefully. "We didn't actually get to meet those we went for.""Then, at that point, what's wrong?" Halimat sat adjacent to her and set her hands around her shoulder. "Coincidentally, I didn't see Host, Delicate or Slimmy get back with you ind

Screw strolled into the parlor through another entry looking displeased, a thin woman putting on a scanty outfit followed behind him holding with her a medical caretaker units sack."Wetin una talk say occur" Screw asked as Kemi started treating Little's shot injury. No one answered his inquiry on the grounds that at that point they felt Screw was simply involving them as pawns in the round of chess, they were completely captivated at how quickly the Chief heavenly messenger's main man came crashing on the scene just to save three of his men yet while their very own large number men were biting the dust, their own chief was having intercourse."Una no hear me nii" Screw shouted as he was goaded for not getting an answer."We were counter gone after" Oj answered casually."How man of our men are down""I didn't count, I was unable to count however they are bounty, very bounty" Oj actually utilizing the casual tone."In the event that they know that a large portion of our men are down,
