Chapter Seven

Dear diary, it has been three days since our fight with the hunter and Daemon is still in the hospital unconscious....his uncle said it is because of the silver residues in his blood Stupid Daemon why did he take take the bullet for me?? These recent days without him has been dull and quiet (I’m supposed to like the quiet) sure brainwashed Dan is there for me to talk to but there is no energy, life, vibrance in our conversations without Daemon I miss his shiny smile and his pervy jokes, His fashion sense and his scent the most annoying thing is that I can’t go to the hospital and see him because of a reason my dad won’t tell me. I really hope Daemon is okay.... I miss him so much and I’m surprised at the way I cried when he was shot.....I thought vampires are immune to feelings but this warm feeling I get whenever I think of him, see him or call his name....this feeling must be love......

I was recalled into reality by a knock on my door that’s when I realized I’d been crying the whole time I had been writing, the knock came again this time with more intent “Just a minute” I called out as I started wiping the tears off my face with my T-shirt “Gwen is everything alright?” My mother asked from the other side of the door.

“I’m fine mom just clearing up a few things” I rushed to the door with a happy face that wasn’t really convincing “Hi mom” I said with fake enthusiasm “Hi dear, is there anything wrong? You’ve been locked up in your room for hours and I was getting quite worried”.

I gave a depressed sigh “I don’t know why Dad won’t let me go see Daemon in the hospital” my mother gave me a look of understanding “I know it’s doesn’t make any sense to you now but later everything will”.

I have heard that more than anything for the past few days and I am getting sick of it “How long will I have to stay inside? Dan can go see Daemon but why not me? I’m sick of the over the phone conversations I’ve been putting up  with for the past three days, I want to go outside, go to school what’s more I need to see Daemon to thank him for saving my life” The words came out in a stream of mixed emotions, I was  angry and sad at the same time.

“Your father is taking too much time to explain it to you I will make sure he tells you tonight” I was a bit shocked at her response and confused too, I couldn’t make any sense of it so I told her I would like to remain in my room.

My mom and dad have been acting suspicious lately always being shady about me going outside or having friends coming over (not like I had many) I wasn’t allowed to even take out the trash and whenever I asked why it’s always one excuse or the other “I just want to see Daemon” I said aloud, I went to sit by the window waiting for my dad to come back from his venturous “stroll” which he took 3 hours back.

My Dad is as a doctor at the town’s general hospital where Daemon is currently admitted, He’s known as the “caring doc” by his patients and colleagues because of his always smiling nature he makes sure there is a smile on his face whenever he shows up for his ever late shift but little did they know that the always smiling doc hides a very dark secret which has a dark history to attached to it.

Mr Garfield Carter was born in an era long before Garfield the movie ever existed, he is the fourth son of a shepherd so he spent most of his early childhood running around and taking care of his father’s sheep with his brothers. During a civil war his town was attacked by rogue bandits who raided the town killing the men and children including his father and three brothers, he survived because he fell into a ditch while watching over his father’s sheep and there he remained unconscious till the next morning with a broken leg.

He was later discovered by a knight of the royal palace who came to scout for survivors and taken in into the royal knights guard there he trained until he became a renowned knight, On one of his missions he was sent to escort a mysterious endangered princess who was white as snow and her skin cold like ice.....her beauty swept him off his feet and his heart melted at her sight apparently princess Snow White was also catching feelings (how ironic right?).

They started an affair which was short lived because the people who were after Snow White tracked her down to where she was being protected by her knight and his people, They attacked the kingdom at night and her knight in shining armor was heavily injured during the fight but he still found a way to escape with her to a cave where he saw his life on the edge.

There was nothing else she could have done to save him so she turned him into a vampire to save his life in return he went back to the kingdom with his new found power and slaughtered every single one of his adversaries feeding on them during the process, together they ruled the kingdom with an iron hand of protection until the Great War between vampires and werewolves ensued which raged on for a few centuries till the knight vampire made a treaty with the werewolves never to attack each other kingdoms/territories and this treaty still stands several centuries after my birth.

My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a car backing up into the driveway “he’s back” my mom called to me, what’s the big deal about all of this? I wonder but I needed answers truthful and fast cause I can’t bear another day stuck inside this house or without seeing Daemon.
