KATERINA

"Would you hurry it up in there?" Haydon yelled from my room as I tied my shoelaces in the bathroom.

"Can you calm down; I'm almost done Haydon!" I yelled back. Haydon had been taking me to school for the past week and few days. He would wake me up really early in the morning- because apparently, I took one million years to get done- and then walk me to school.

I walked out of the bathroom in my black crop top and white high waisted jeans.

"I'm done!" I Said.

"Fina- wow. You look...wow." he said looking me up and down with his red eyes.

"I knew the top was too short. I'll go change it." I said but just as I was about to turn towards the cupboard

    KATERINACOLD. I could only feel coolness as I walked toward the body on the edge of the forest. The same forest where Jeremy had almost tried to kill me. The same forest which Haydon and I snuck through every Friday to fight at the arena. But this time the air here was cold and tense. Goosebumps started to form on my icy, dry skin. My feet were sore and bare and bleeding from the small stones and dry sand on the ground. The body that was there was unmoving, and I couldn't make out who it was because of the darkness surrounding me. I don't know what it was, but I was being drawn to that lonely body on the ground. "Hello...Who are you?" I asked as if the body would miraculously wake up and a

    HAYDONIt's her! That's all I could think about since I left her house. Death had just confirmed something that I had been hoping for and at the same time dreading. She was the girl. The one who could bring me to my knees...The only one. And now it wouldn't be long until she realised it herself, then I could tell her everything- the truth, the lies, the prophecy and about my past. All I had to do was just wait a little while longer for her to figure out who the girl I had feelings for was, and then would come the hard part. KATERINA"Wake up wake up! Please can you wake up Dylan!" I yelled outside of Dylan's room, banging his door. Benjamin ca

    KATERINA"Do I look fine?" I asked Jas.It was Friday afternoon and Haydon invited me out to hang. The whole day it was killing me not to tell him my feelings, but tonight was my chance. "Yep!" She said applying lip gloss to my lips. My hair was in a beautiful bun with pieces of hair framing my face. I wore a mid-thigh black and navy-blue dress which was tight around my chest and waist but flowed and loosened the rest of the way. My tattoo was on full display. "Thanks for helping me get ready Jas." I said smiling. "No problem. And I will also talk to Dyl about this. I know how to get on his good side. And besides, he told you already that he's cool with it, so don't worry."

    KATERINA"Oh my gosh! He gave you his jacket! That's so sweet!" Jasmine and Lucy where both in my room early in the morning, both of them wanting to know all the details of my "date" with Haydon. "Okay calm yourself Down Jas. It's just a jacket..." I rolled my eyes. "Just a jacket! Just a jacket! No, it's not just a jacket. It's Haydon flipping Veneziano's jacket.""Okay that is kinda big!" I said squealing. Lucy soon joined in. At first, she was a bit upset about the fact that Haydon and I were more than just friends and that I had not even told her a single thing before. But after she saw how happy I was, she was no longer upset. Just then my phone began to ring. I was about to check who it was when Jas had grabbed it

    KATERINA"Haydon, we are back!" I heard Lily say as the door closed behind her and Jeremy. Haydon and I were playing with Garrison who woke up five minutes after he fell asleep. Jeremy and Lilly came into the lounge with shocked expressions on their faces. Their expressions grew even more extreme as they saw me with Haydon and the baby. "Hello Katerina...""Hey Lily, hey Jerry. I hope you don't mind, I just came to check up on them, but Haydon was doing fine on his own, weren't you Haydon?"I gave him a look and he nodded immediately. "Yup!"Lily looked up at Jerry with a weird look and then shrugged. "Wow, you two are

    KATERINAI gave a small smile and asked, "So now, what are we?"He stared very, hard at me, and then I saw the nerves creep onto his face. His eyebrows rose and his lip twitched. "H-how would you like to be my girlfriend?" It was really clumsy, the way he said it, all flustered and nervous.I wasn't sure myself if I was ready to be his girlfriend. We were safe just being more than just friends and now we were taking it a step further. Was I ready to be a vampire's girlfriend? Was I ready to be hunted my whole life? My whole life I was taught never to feel for something so undead, so lifeless. But now I realised he wasn't lifeless at all, nor was he monster. However, the question to be asked was, was he worth dying for?

    KATERINAPacking for Italy was an utter nightmare. I didn't know what to wear, what to pack nor did I even know what the weather was like there. So eventually I packed my entire cupboard into my bag... and some of those clothes into Haydon's bag. "It's Friday and we're stuck here with you, packing for Italy. I could be out doing something, maybe attend one of those underground fights you two used to go to." "Can you shut up Jas? It's not like this is a walk in the park for me either!" I growled. Okay, maybe I was a teensy, tiny bit nervous about explaining this to my parents. It was at times like these where I wished Death wasn't the bad guy. "Calm down Katerina, it’s just clothes," Haydon said laughing with Jasmine.

    KATERINAWe arrived in Italy after a long, uncomfortable flight. I hadn’t been able to sleep at all as I though about what Haydon’s father’s reaction would be to me and began to mentally prepare myself for rejection. Italy was quite beautiful this time of the year, and the weather was warm enough to allow me to remove my thick jacket soon after we arrived at the airport. After we had gathered our luggage, Haydon rented us a car and we began driving. In all honesty, I paid less attention to the road, people and homes which passed us, and more attention to my shaking hands.“Katerina, calm down please. You have nothing to fear, I will be beside you the entire time, okay?”His words, meant to be reassuring, did nothing to get me to calm down. If

    KATERINAThe waiting room was crowded, filled with the presence of my friends and family as we all waited patiently for my brother’s results. Haydon was sitting next to me, clutching my shaking hand while my father had my mother in a tight embrace. Today was the worst day of our lives, but it was also the best. Today we had finally changed history, and it was all thanks to my mother. She was eleven steps ahead of Death, who was only ten steps away from us. She truly was the greatest hunter to have ever lived.After a few hours, the nurse had come out and told us that Dylan was going to be fine. Jasmine, who had been crying with Lucy and Nathan cried even harder. Things were going to be okay, we were all going to be okay. Haydon smiled at me, and I smiled back.“Thank you, for trying to save me.” He said.

    KATERINA“Why mom, why!” I cried out, holding the silver box which had now regained its shape, and contained my mother who had, just moments ago began to fake into dust particles and enter into the box. Elizabeth was no longer a threat, and Haydon and I were free. It was all thanks to my mother’s sacrifice. By now the Veneziano’s were awake with tears streaming down their faces. Death was still in the centre of the pentagram, clutching the silver box, which we now had discovered, was a mere replica. He opened it, looked inside, and threw it on the floor.He then stormed up to where we were hovering over the box and took it from me. He tried to throw it on the floor, but Haydon grabbed his hands before he could. Death looked up at him and snarled which made Haydon whimper. He was still treating Haydon like the abusive man he always was, but I couldn&

    KATERINABy now we were all tied up, all except for Dylan who was still not awake yet and his skin was beginning to turn a shade of blue. At this rate, he would be dead in a few hours.“What do you want from us?” I yelled out, my eyes still on my brother.Bianca, who was towering over me smirked and kicked me in the face.“Sir, Dylan Connors has a question.” She said, taking my face and inspecting the blood on my face.“I love seeing you bleed Katerina.” She whispered. This made Haydon growl and bare his teeth at her.“Don’t touch her-““Bianca, leave those two al

    KATERINAThe air in the house was cold and tense. The rooms were dark, and the home I had once felt comfortable in, was now uncomfortable and dreary. “Death?” my mother called out. She was standing in front, holding a gun in her hand which she had kept in the boot of her car. It was more a sort of anchor than anything else. Hunter weapons did not work on a vampire as rare as Death.The halls were silent, save for the clicking of our careful steps and heavy breathing. Mr and Mrs Veneziano seemed to know what they were doing, so did my parents. All we needed to do, was make sure we did exactly as we were told. Of course Haydon and I were not known for such things, and secretly, Haydon had decided to think up his own plan, and I did the same, neither one of us uttering our plan to one another or to our parents.

    KATERINAWe had gotten on the first available flight, rushed, panicked and panting. The phone call my mother had received was one fatal call, the call from Death. Apparently, my parents had not been secretive enough, and he had caught on to their plan. He was, at the moment, holding my brother, along with Jeremy and the boys hostage. Tonight, was the night he was convinced that he would achieve his goal. He knew that he had power over us, and we could bend to his will.The flight was once again, long and uncomfortable and distress was evident on Haydon’s parent’s faces as well as my own.“I just don’t understand how he figured out that we knew. How the hell could he have known. We showed no evidence whatsoever that we knew about his real plan

Destroy the damn remains.Haydon and I might as well have just broken up because there was no way in hell, that we’d be able to, firstly take the remains away from Death, and secondly, destroy them when they were imbued in dark magic.“That’s why we tried to keep you two apart when we started suspecting. We wanted to figure out how to prevent the prophesy. But clearly you two had to start liking each other and ruin our plans. Honestly Katerina, first underground fights and now this.”And once again, I was busted.“How did you know?”My father smirked and shook his head, “Your brother is an awful liar, Dylan Connors.”

    KATERINAWe sat in the lounge beside a fire. It had gotten colder now, so much so, that I found my self near Haydon, clinging to him for dear life while receiving some serious glances from my mother. Haydon’s parents were clearly way more accepting of our relationship than mine were at this point.“So, let me start,” Mr Veneziano said. “It all began the day Death resurrected Haydon. For something needing so much of power, there are always serious consequences. The first, was the death of his wife, Elisabeth.” He then paused, clearing his throat, and the continued. “The second, and most dangerous consequence, was a prophecy. It was a prophecy fortold by the oracle, Cecilia. The day Haydon was resurrected, she rushed here and immediately told us what she has foreseen. That day, I had kicked her out of this house, banishing her from ever se

    KATERINAWe sat in the dining room which was as grand as anything I had ever seen. The beautiful mahogany table was decorated with a white silk cloth which had intricate blue petals embroidered in. The table was filled with many different types of food which was odd, since Haydon and his parents did not eat any food, instead, they sat with wine glasses filled with blood on the table. It had been exactly five minutes of the four of us staring at each other awkwardly, when finally, Haydon broke the silence. “Is there a reason that we are waiting and staring at each other?”Mr Haydon spoke, never lifting his eyes from me, “Yes, we are waiting for a few guests. They should be here, right about-“Knock. Knock. Knock.
