Hunter, Ann, Aiden and I were now stuck in detention for 30 minutes for starting a food fight. We currently had no one in the library looking after us.
I decided to take out my books and do my math and physics homework. "Are you seriously that bored?" Aiden asks.
"Well, we have nothing to do and nobody attending to us so I might as well do my homework."
"Fine, do you."He stands up and runs his hands on the spine of each book on the shelf. "But… we do have no one attending to us. So it's basically an open invitation to just walk out, right?"
"Aiden, no," Ann warns him.
"I'm not saying anything I'm just suggesting we walk out of detention and go to the ice rink or something"
"I mean, we have nothing better to do so why not?" I say, voting on skipping detention and going to have some fun.
"Come on Ann, you are the only one who disagrees, do you want to stay here alone for another…" Aiden looks down at his watch. "23 minutes?"
"No." She pouts.
"And besides if we get in trouble we might as well get in trouble together," I add.
"Fine, But we go where I want to go."
"Noways." Aiden argues.
"Aiden." Hunter looks at Aiden.
"Fine, where do you want to go?"
"A carnival, one just came into town"
"Not bad, I was thinking more along the lines of an abanded house or cemetery but that works too."
"Ew," Ann replies. "You are messed up."
"I guess it's kinda why girls like me."
Ann gives him an up-and-down look and claps her hands together. "Anyways, let's go."
She walks out first with Aiden behind her making flirtatious jokes behind her.
Hunter and I walk a few feet behind them laughing at their back-and-forth banter.
We arrive at the carnival and it is beautiful. There are various rides and stands. The area is filled with people engulfed in their own conversations, laughing out loud, and others standing in line waiting for their turn.
"I'll go and get us tickets." Ann says.
"I'll come with." Aiden says slinging his arm over her shoulders.
"No." she immediately shrugs his arm off her and starts walking fast towards the ticket booth. Aiden continues trying to drape his arm around her over and over and over again.
"They want each other right?" I say to Hunter as we saunter toward the ticket booth.
He lets out a little chuckle which would have every girl within a six-mile radius swooning and dropping their pants. "Most defiantly." He replies. "And if they do end up together then I strongly doubt that they will be able to get their hand off each other."
This has me thinking about what Hunter and I will be like as a couple. With my vampirism and duties back at home with the throne, I start to wonder if we get to the stage of the L word, how will he take the news of me being an ex-vampire princess who is out to reclaim her throne and if he will be okay with turning into a vampire for me and joining me in the battle to get my title back. It's quite a lot to consider and going through it now makes me wonder if it is a good idea to get involved with him. Problem is that something draws me to him, a powerful force of nature if I may add, both he and I and the universe know that we are meant to be and our attraction to one another is more than what's on the surface.
The question is: Will he accept me for who I am?
HUNTERS POV:
Talking with Lilith about the whole Aiden and Ann thing has me drowning in my own dark thoughts of what the future holds for her and me. We haven't come across any sort of relationship test or obstacles that we managed to face head first and come out more vital than ever, not that we are even in a relationship right now. My heart aches to ask her to be my girlfriend and be my mate- something about that word 'mate' sounds right. it sounds well fitted into the category of what she is and what she means to me. I like her a lot and maybe even... love her. I know I can't express those feelings to her right now, at least not with the situation I'm in. I need to tell her what I am and what that means for our future and life together, and there is also the other thing, the big secret.
The secret is that I am engaged to Alexia Green.
I guess the big 'relationship test' is whether will she ever forgive me for not telling her. For blindly leading her into a relationship built on lies. Maybe I don't deserve her at all. Maybe I should spare her the pain and end things while it is still early. Maybe I cannot do that because I love her or because I am selfish, or maybe it would be good for both of us if we go in different directions.
She is not ready for the life I live anyways.
The question is: Will I ever forgive myself, will I ever be able to live with myself if I make the wrong choice?
