I enjoyed Eden.When I was around him, I felt special and he made me laugh.I had the impression that I was a normal adolescent girl going through high school and having to deal with girls who were envious of me and trying to get attention from the sexy football star.Would allowing myself to be with him really be so bad?I didn't technically belong to Valerian at the time, so he had no say over who I dated before my departure date.I wasn't aware of any rules that it broke.But would it be smart?knowing that I would depart in a year and never speak with Eden again.Could I deal with hurting him in that way?Could I handle the pain I would experience when I broke up with Eden?The main reason I couldn't just tell him the truth was that I wasn't sure he would ever believe me.What was my message supposed to be?Okay, I'll date you, but I'll have to leave you for an ancient vampire when I'm 18 because my psychotic parents sold me to him when I was 10?He would run for the hills if he thought I was c

A vampire could not tell the humans their true identity because it was against the law.The king never showed any leniency regarding the offense, which carried the death penalty.The small-minded species were in too much panic, and it was too much of a mess to clean up.It required erasing memories, and it could take days to ensure that every mind was erased, depending on the audience's size.Ivan firmly held onto my shoulders.She is aware that she is yours.She wouldn't dare have a relationship with anyone else."She might do it in retaliation.""She wouldn't," I say.I twisted my lips in rage and let out a deep sigh.Get rid of the stupid people who pulled this prank.Catelyn has been through a lot, and it's time they paid with their lives.Before we left the school, Ivan just bowed to me.By midnight, Ivan and the rest of my men had the criminals rounded up.They had followed them after they finished school for the day and waited until it got dark and quiet in their homes before taking them

I had predicted that there would be excitement when I entered the school.Already, girls were being pampered.I noticed that a lot of students had coordinated their outfits to match the outfits of their love interests as I made it up the stairs.Although we have attended a few classes together, I could see Lisa making a phone call and wiping her tears away.She was pleading through her phone without much success.I was sorry for her.By the end of today, she wouldn't be the only one with a broken heart, which made my sadness worse.I go to my locker as I enter the hallway.No Eden yet.I thought, "Strange," as I looked around.I had become accustomed to meeting him here every morning and walking with him to class.I open my locker, take what I need out of my bag, put it back in, and lock it up.After that, I quickly turned around and felt my heart skip a few beats.He was present.Eden.smiling profusely and thoroughly enjoying my expression.He was carrying three greeting cards, two boxes of chocol

When I finally made it to school, I saw Eden looking around for my face next to my locker.When his eyes caught mine, they lit up, and I couldn't help but shed a few tears before I could stop them.I saw him start walking toward me, leaning over my locker and frowning in concern.I ran straight into them instead of waiting for him to spread his arms.We just stood there in the middle of the hallway, surrounded by students.He gave me a head-to-toe kiss.I took in as much of him as I could.While I struggled to control my tears and catch my breath, he held me and waited with me.He leaned back and held my face up to his as I drew back a little.He said, "Tell me."He spoke with a soft plea.I exhaled slowly and took a deep breath before opening my mouth to speak.No words surfaced.I just wasn't up to it.He tried to figure out what I couldn't bring myself to say as his eyes narrowed in more worry.Your grandparents?He pressed.As I nodded, all I could do was exhale in relief.Excessively enthusiastica

I responded, "I don't know."However, let's try to avoid focusing on inquiries Eden cannot answer.I continued, "Maybe it's like they say in the movies, that there was a glitch in the Matrix," as I slung my school bag over my left shoulder.The fact that you didn't mean to hurt me is the most important thing.I also believe that.In reality, everything else is just background noise.Despite the fact that I was internally boiling with rage, I said these words as calmly as I could.Still with that confused expression, Eden gave a few repeated nods.When he lowered them, he covered his face with both hands.I need to go wash my face with water.Please remain where you are.He patiently awaited my reply.I said, "Alright, I'll be here," as he left for the boys' bathroom.I was absolutely certain that Eden had been harmed by Valerian.What was he up to?Eden wondered if the vampire's magic had worn off.Were any of our precious memories lost in Eden?As if on cue, Valerian appeared at the end of the hallw
