"Grandda, I think I might just go home and forget this vacation thing."
"Oh, garin, no need for that. You can just stay here."
"But, Grandda, I do-"
"Ah, no. You are not letting some stupid boys ruin your vacation."
"Okay..." Kara kissed her Grandda on the cheeka nd hurried up the stairs, then hurried back down them.
"What is it, garin?"
"Do you think I should get an abortion?"
"What?! You're pregnant?!"
"Yeah. By a stupid fuck who cheated on me."
"But, part of that baby is you!"
"Grandda, my boyfriend, well, I think he's still my boyfriend, is really angry because he isn't the father."
"Well, then maybe you should get an abortion. I'd hate to see a great granbaby who isn't loved."
"The baby would be loved. But it takes two people and right now, it doesn't have that."
"It is your choice."
"Ugh! I have to go back to my house."
"Alright, garin. Be careful hough. Those boys could be around."
"I doubt it. Jeremy knows I'd make good on my threat."
"True. Are you gonna leave to go back to America?"
"Maybe I really want to see Tom."
"Oh."
"Yeah."
"That boy you're in love with?"
"Yes, Grandda."
"Alright. I'll see you when I see you."
"Bye. I love you."
"I love you too, hell-cat." Kara laughed and walked out the door.

"Yay! Faster! Run faster!" Bill laughed and started running down the sidewalk at a faster pace. Autumn was on his back, enjoying her piggy-back ride.
"Ugh."
"What, Autumn?"
"I think I just swallowed a bug! Ewwwww....ewwwww,ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Bill, STOP! I gotta get down! EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!" Bill dropped Autumn onto her feet. She started brushing her tongue with her hand, glaring at Bill all the time.
"Stop laughing! It's not funny. Ewww...."
"Awww, it's okay."
"Yeah. I bet you wouldn't kiss me now, though."
"Sure I would."
"Even after I ate a bug?"
"Course. It's not like it's gonna hurt anything."
"Coo'. I love you." Bill smiled and pulled her against him.
"I love you too."
"Mmmf. Mm mmkin eead mmmmuuurtts."
"What?!" Autumn moved back and looked up.
"I said 'Yay. My fucking head hurts.' It's almost lunch time."
"You just ate three hours ago!"
"Well, it's almost lunch time. Twelve o'clock is the usual lunch time. Let's go!" She grabbed Bill's hand and pulled him into a diner. They got a table and ordered.
"You think Tom and Kara are okay?"
"Uhhhh....NO! Kara left today for Ireland. We were going to vacation together, but then I wanted to stay with you."
"You could have gone with her."
"I wanted to stay."
"Okay, okay." Their food arrived and they ate in silence. Autumn wiped her mouth and looked out the window. She gasped and Bill sent her a quizzical stare.
"Tom!" Bill whirled around in the booth, hitting his elbow and cursing. Then he too gasped. Tom was standing outside, holding hands with a girl who was certainly not Kara.
"Oh, that bastard." Autumn got up and stomped over to the door. Bill grabbed her arm before she could walk out.
"Just leave him alone."
"What?! Why?!"
"Because, Kara will find out and do far much worse. She loves him and you don't. If he sees her cry, he'll stop what he is doing. If you go out and yell at him, he'll do it even after Kara is crying, heartbroken."
"Fine." Tom walked away with the girl and Autumn sighed.
"I know. You would hate to see Kara heartbroken. Her heart will mend. I promise."
"Yeah, but I don't like seeing her cry. It tears me up inside."
"I know, I know. It'll be okay. I promise."
*In Ireland*
"Och, look who's back! Why are ye here, Ms. Donovan?"
"Business, Lee."
"Oh. I understand ye. Did that boy break yer heart?"
"No. I gotta go, Lee."
"Alright, Ms. Donovan. I'll see ye later." Lee waved as she made her way down the cobblestone path and she waved back.
"Hallo, Ms. Donovan." Ugh, not again.
"Jeremy, I told you. Don't talk to me!"
"Why?!"
"You know why."
"Oh, that little accident."
"It was no accident. Now, go away." Jeremy just stood there, looking at her.
"I don't see what you're so torn up about."
"YOU'D BE TORN UP TOO IF YOU WERE RAPED BY A BOY YOU CONSIDERED A DAMNED FRIEND!" Kara ran down the path, slamming her door open and shutting it again. She locked it and threw her stuff on the couch. If he talks to me one more fucking time....I'll kill him. She ran up the stairs and flopped onto the bed, closing her eyes.
Sunrise, Sunset
My mind won't forget
The torture and pain
I put up with all those days
I loved you
I did
And yet, I seemed to miss
That love is a problem, not a solution.....
Memories of pain
Cease to fade
The darkness of breathing
Is tearing my soul
From it's resting
Ugh....Life IS shitty.
Kara yawned and looked at the clock. 2:35am. No one in the town would be up. She could go for a run. Pulling on her running outfit, Kara looked in the mirror. Her skin was almost snow-white, dark circles under her eyes. Ugh, what the Hell happened? Kara hurried out of the cottage and was surprised to see the answering machine blinking on her way out. I'll get it later. A run, to Kara, was an amzing thing. It gave you time to think, allowed you to breathe fresh, morning air, and you could always sing to yourself without being laughed at. Not for being bad, but just for singing while you ran. People just thougt it wasn't natural. Whatever. I'l sing if I want too. And she started singing. The birds started chirping and Kara smiled. Then,everything was quiet, scary quiet. An arm slid around Kara's waist and a hand covered her mouth.
"Don't even struggle. Or I'll kill you." Kara ignored his advice and bit down on his palm, tasting the coppery blood that flowed into her mouth. He jerked back and Kara turned around. Jeremy. She started to run.
"Bitch! Get back here!"
"Fuck you, asshole!" Her legs pumped faster and then she stopped. She was at the edge of a lake. And the only way across was to swim. Fuck it. Kara dove in and started swimming her way to the other side. When she lifted herself out of the water, Kara started shivering. Badly. She looked back and saw Jeremy swimming across. Goddammit. I thought that fucking ass couldn't swim. And was afraid of water. She backed away and whirled around, coming face-to-face with one of Jeremy's friends. He smacked her across the face. Hard enough to send her on her back. The pain in her cheek instantly numbed, but she couldn't stand. Jeremy was straddling her pelvis, locking his legs around her so she couldn't move.
"What the fuck do you want?!"
"What do you think?"
"Go to fucking Hell."
"Ooooh, feisty. Just how I like them."
"If you touch me, I'll scream!"
"Nobody is going to hear you."
"Wrong! There is a house right over there." Jeremy looked towards it and shrugged.
"Guess we can take it somewhere else!" He picked her up and slung her over his shoulder. Kara started to scream. Jeremy broke into a run and passed the door of the house just as it opened.
"What are you doing with my granddaughter?!" Jeremy skidded to a halt.
"Grandda?! He was going to rape me. Again."
"Jeremy Alex Davidson! I'll call your mama on you. She said if you been up to these things again, she'd have you behind bars."
"Oh, shaddup, old man. We were just playing. Having fun."
"Having fun! Yeah, Mister Donovan! That's all." Kara glared at Jeremy's friend.
"I hate you."
"Aww, sweetheart. It was just fun." He moved closer and placed his hand on her cheek. She turned and bit him.
"Bitch."
"Bastard!"
"Vin, that you?"
"Yeah, Mister Donovan."
"What are you doing playing around with Jeremy? You know he's a trouble-maker and you trying to rape my granddaughter would make you an accomplice. Both of you would go to jail. Jeremy, again."
"Bite me."
"Oh, boy, shut up and put her down." Jeremy dropped Kara and she landed with a thud. Kicking out, her foot met his pelvis. He dropped to his knees.
"Touch me, talk to me, just look at me, and I'll take your manhood and let the fishies have it." She hopped up and ran into the house.
"Boys! Get your sorry asses home. I'll file a police report the next time you do this. And I'll make sure you go to jail. Understood?"
"Yes, Mister Donovan."
"Good. NOW, GET OFF MY PROPERTY!" The boys ran off and started the truck, driving off as fast as they could.

"Kara, just spit it out!"
"Kieran's!!!" Kara buried her face in the pillow and began sobbing. Autumn felt her heart clench. She had only seen her older twin cry twice in her whole lifetime.
"It's okay. Honest."
"No, it's not. How do tell Tom?"
"He'll understand."
"Why are you so optimistic?"
"Because, the bright side is better than the dark side." Kara turned over and looked at Autumn with tear filled eyes.
"You suck."
"Why?!!"
"Because now I think it's going to be okay."
"Oh. All you have to tell Tom is you're pregnant adn it isn't his."
"Fine, but if he gets mad, I blame it on you."
"Okay. Now let's go get ice-cream."
"ICE-CREAM!!!!" Kara hopped out of bed and rushed out of the room, latching onto Autumn's arm at the last minute and pulling her along.
"Ahhh!"
"NO RUNNING IN THE HOSPITAL!"
"Sorry!" They were out of the hospital doors and at the car before the nurse could tell them again to stop running.
"C'mon! I want ice-cream and I want it now!"
"Alright, alright. You are such a seven year old."
"And proud of it." Kara climbed into the car and Autumn started the car. Ten minutes later, they were holding their ice-cream and walking into the hotel.
"Yummy! I wuv vu, Autumn!" Kara hugged her sister and pressed the elevator button. The doors slid open. Tom was standing inside, leaning against the wall adn chattering away, in German, to a gorgeous girl.
"Agh! Autumn, HIDE ME!" Kara ducked behind Autumn, who was laughing hard enough that she started snorting. Tom was staring out the door, the girl staring too.
"S-sorry! Just remembering something from yesterday!"
"Okay. I could've swore I heard Kara."
"Nope! Not here!" Tom narrowed his eyes.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah. Totally! Now, uh, I'm just going to take the stairs." Autumn edged towards the stairs, still facing the elevator. As soon as she was behind the door to the stairs, Kara sighed.
"Ahhh, why did you hide?"
"Because I didn't want to explain where I was all day and why my make-up is smeared."
"Ohz. Right." Autumn rubbed the smeared make-up off with her thumb.
"Thanks."
"No problems now. Let's go up to our floor."
"Okay. Hey, you think if we took a vacation, the guys would think something was up?"
"No. We deserve a vacation."
"Where to?"
"Ireland. Your home."
"Okay. Let's pack."
"Kay."
*Two Hours Later*
Kara stretched and lay on the bed. Everything was packed and they were leaving in two days. The door slammed open and Kara opened her eyes, cursing. It was pitch black.
"Tom?"
"Yeah." Kara looked at the clock. The red numbers glowed eerily. 3:46 a.m. I must have fell asleep.
"Why are you back so late?"
"I dunno." He sat on the bed and laid back.
"You do. You just don't want to tell me."
"Bullshit. I just came back late."
"Liar." Kara turned over and pulled the covers over her, ignoring the movement of the bed as Tom shifted to look at her.
"What do you mean?"
"You were drinking. No doubt with that skank."
"What the Hell?!" Kara turned back over, looking him directly in the eyes.
"Yeah. I saw her. You drank booze and probably screwed her!"
"I didn't! We had a couple of drinks. That was it. Why are you so fucking jealous?!"
"You think I would be jealous about a girl who wears enough make-up to be a clown?! You do! I can see it in your face. Wewll, I'M NOT! I have you, she doesn't. I love you. She doesn't. You love me, not her!" Tom snorted.
"Why are you doing this?"
"Doing what?"
"Being so bitchy. You never do this."
"I'm pregnant! Don't I deserve the right to be a bitch! Especially when I find out that you aren't the father!!" Kara froze. The words had left her mouth and were hanging in the air. Tom got out of the bed without a word. He walked down the all and slammed the hotel room door.
"I HATE YOU! IT'S NOT MY FUCKING FAULT!" Kara collapsed into tears and curled into a ball.
*Morning*
Autumn made her way through the hall, knocking on the boy's doors.
"Hey, Gustie! Wanna go to breakfast with me?"
"Sure."
"Okay. You can bring Rachel! I'll just be getting the others up and see if they want to come!"
"Alright." He walked back into his room and she could hear him waking Rachel. Moving on to the next door, Autumn paused. This was Bill's door. He didn't like being woke up early. Oh well. What happens, happens. She tapped and the door swung open. Bill stood in his boxers, stifling a yawn. Waaaah! I miss this sight.
"Hi! Wanna go to breakfast with Gustav, Rachel, and me?"
"Sure, why not. Where were you the other day?"
"Kara is pregnant." Bill's eyes widened and his jaw dropped.
"Is it Tom's?"
"No. He's pissed right now. I was just in Kara's room and she is crying soooo fucking much. I'm going to kick your brother's ass. My twinny never crys unless it is important."
"Go ahead. He probably deserves it!"
"Hellz yeah. Uh, I though you two were tight?"
"Until he does something to a girl. Then it's just 'I can't believe he's so stuuupid'."
"Coolz. So, get some clothes on."
"Are we good?"
"Huh?"
"You and me. I didn't mean to upset you yesterday. I was just super curious."
"Ah, no. It's okay. And, by the way, I love you." Autumn walked down to Tom's new hotel room door and banged her fist on it. He opened it and glared at her.
"What do you want?!"
"Wanna go to breakfast?"
"Will Kara be there?"
"No. You fucked her up. She didn't even get to explain and you just walked out. Stuuupid ass."
"Shaddup. What'd you do to Bill?"
"I said I loved him. He's shocked. He'll get over it."
"Cool."
"Yeah. You realize I still want to kick your ass, right?"
"Yeah," He turned around. "Kick away." Autumn burst into laughter and kicked him.
"Owww! Did you have to kick so hard?!"
"Don't be a sissy boy."
"I'm not a sissy boy!"
"Yeah, you are! Sissy Boy, Sissy Boy," Autumn started running down the hallway, yelling. "TOM IS A SISSY BOY! TOM IS A SISSY BOY!"

Kara crouched behind the tree, sniffing. The bushes rattled and she looked towards them. I got you now. She leaped gracefully over the bush and grabbed the person's shirt front.
"What are you doing in my forest?"
"I-I...Oh God. I told him it wasn't good to come here and yet, we do. Ugh." Kara dropped him onto the gorund, confused.
"Huh?"
"Oh, um, Loki said to come here for our spell."
"You're casting spells on MY property?! Are you crazy? This place is filled with Rogues!"
"Rogues?"
"Vampires who follow their own damn rules. You know how they can't originally drain a witch because of the counsel?"
"Yeah."
"Rogues don't give a shit. They'll fuck you and feed from you. Male or female." The boy's eyes were wide with fear.
"I-I didn't know that."
"Well, you should have. Why are you casting spells?"
"Uh, long story. Can I just grab Loki and we can explain it all inside?"
"Sure."
"LOKI!!!" A cat came running through the forest and stopped in front of the boy.
"What?!"
"Holy Shit! That's Loki?"
"Yes, I'm Loki. You must be Kara Van Helsing. May we go inside?"
"O-of course." Kara bent to pick Loki up, but he darted past her and ran towards the house.
"Sorry. He doesn't like being picked up."
"Oh. C'mon." Kara grabbed the boy's hand and raced to the house. Whilst they were running, the forest was watching. A root upended itself and Kara fell face forward.
"Owww! Damn you!"
"I didn't do it!"
"I know. This forest is alive. Watch out, it plays tricks. It can shift around and get you lost. We will just continue straight and hit the house."
"May I ask why you have a living forest in your backyard?"
"It keeps the backyard tresspassers out."
"Oh."
"Yeah. Ow! I hate you tree."
"I didn't do anything." Something hard dropped and hit her head. She looked down and saw and apple. Suddenly, a million apples were all raining down from the trees.
"This is not 'The Wizard Of Oz'!"
"Ah, it is to us." Laughter echoed and Kara grabbed the boys hand again.
"We have to get out of here. Sometimes only a couple of trees do this, but once in awhile ALL the trees decide to have fun. Maybe we'll have luck on the rest of the way." But Kara knew that was soooo not true. And so, the trees, all of them, continued the act of dropping their apples and acorns. Apples hit exposed skin with stinging force, acorns fell into their shirts. And, suddenly, it all stopped. Kara skidded to a halt and looked around. The birds had stopped chirping, the sound of everything had ceased. The boy was looking towards the lake, fascinated and then, fascination was gone.
"Uh-oh."
"What?!" The boy, Kara really needed to learn his name, pointed to a great swirling vortex in the water.
"Shiiiit! Run." They started running away from the lake, heading back where they came. The sound of a horse's hooves on the dirt path echoed around them. Jumping into the bushes, they peeked out, watching a white horse and it's rider pass by.
"What was that?"
"Counsel member."
"And why was he here?"
"To take someone back to the Counsel. Shit."
"What?!"
"Here he comes again." The white horse trotted past and stopped. The rider swung down, looking around. He came close to the bush, parted the leaves, and Kara thought they were gonna die. Yet, he let the leaves go and rode back into the water.
"How come he didn't see us?"
"Cloaking spell."
"Oh. THANK YOU!" Kara threw herself at the boy and hugged him.
"You're welcome, Kara."
"Hey! If we're on a first name basis, what's yours?"
"Rayne."
"Ooooh, pretty." Rayne rolled his eyes and took her had.
"I'm just gonna teleport us to the house now."
"If you could do that before, why did you let the trees rain down their bearings on us?"
"I tried to teleport, but I kept getting hit in the head and lost track of concetration."
"Oh." One moment, she was looking at the cursed trees and the lake, the next, she was sitting in her living room, looking at Loki.
"Ah, I see you made it back."
"Yeah. With a couple of bruises and scares."
"What happened?" Kara looked up to see Autumn, leaning against the door jamb.
"The trees decided to drop their bearings."
"You got attacked by trees?"
"Yes. And, the Enforcer is here."
"What?!"
"Yes. If it wasn't for Rayne, I would be dead. Or something worse."
"Oh, God! Why is he back?"
"I don't know. It's not like I walked up to him and said 'Hey mister Enforcer, who kills and tortures vampires who have wronged, why are you here?' I couldn't do that!"
"I know, but is it for you? Or me?"
"Or both of us? Maybe because we shared information with humans."
"That could be it."

"Ack! I hate hospitals!!!" Autumn looked at her twin in exasperation. Kara had asked her to come along, for she was sick and it really didn't seem like the flu.
"Alright. Miss Donovan?"
"Me!" The doctor smiled.
"I'm Dr. Ricardio. I'll just go through a few questions and we'll get started. When did this start?" Kara blushed and looked down. She mumbled and Dr. Ricardio asked her to repeat the words.
"About a week ago. I thought it was just slight food poisoning from those oysters, ewwww, but it hasn't gone away."
"Okay. Now, have you been vomiting, having dizziness, loss of appetite, etc.?"
"Yes."
"So, not the flu. Well, it has to be something else. Are you taking any medication?"
"Only my depression pills."
"Alright. These may be causing some of the symptoms. I'm going to get personal for a minute. When was the last time you had sex?" Kara didn't even flinch. She knew this question would come around and had braced herself.
"Four weeks ago."
"Switching of partners?"
"Absolutely not."
"So, your boyfriend is the only one you slept with?"
"Well, my ex-boyfriend. I have a new boyfriend, but we haven't slept together."
"Lack of a period this month?"
"A-actually, yeah."
"Okay. I'm going to run a few tests now. All I need is for you to give me a urine sample, actually."
"Um...alright." Dr. Ricardio handed her the cup and walked out of the room.
"Eh, you have to pee in a cup."
"What if I just tell him I can't pee?"
"He'll run more tests."
"Damn. Fine. C'mon 'cuppy', we have some peeing to do." Kara walked into the bathroom and walked out five minutes later.
"Holy Hell! That's a lot of piss."
"I know."
"Hmmm, I'll take that for you, hun." Kara jumped and looked at the nurse that had suddenly appeared.
"Oh, God. Thank you. Here." She handed the cup over and sat back on the bed. Dr. Ricardio came in after a long while, his face grim.
"Uh....."
"I'm just going to tell you straight out. You're pregnant!"
"WHAT?!" Kara fell back on the bed and closed her eyes.
"We're just going to go ahead and do the DNA test and see who this baby belongs to."
"O-ok." After they were finished taking the DNA, the nurses asked if Autumn and her were hungry.
"Yeah. Kara, I'll go get us something."
"Kay!" Autumn walked out of the room and returned twenty minutes later. Kara was curled into a ball.
"Sorry, they didn't have your favorite chips, but I got your second favorite." She could see Kara nod, but something wasn't right. That's when she saw the DNA test results lying on the table. Autumn walked around to Kara and saw she was crying. Well, not really crying, but huge tears were rolling down her cheeks.
"Who's baby is it?"
"It's....."

Bill rolled out of his bunk with a groan. Why does everything hurt so much? He stood up, noticing the bus door wide open. What the Hell?
"Hey, Autumn?"
"What?" She poked her head out from the bathroom and stared at him.
"Uh, why is the bus door open?" Autumn didn't answer, but continued staring at him. Then, she burst out laughing, startling him.
"What? What?!"
"Your hair!" And then she was laughing again, Bill glaring at her. He walked over to the bathroom door and looked in the mirror. His hair was sticking up everywhere, yet not how he usually wore it.
"Oh. Damn!" Bill reached past Autumn and flicked on the water, wetting his hands and slicking his hair down.
"Happy?"
"Ah, thank you. I would've died from loss of oxygen if you hadn't. And the door is open because we're at the hotel and the other dudes left it open."
"Did you seriously just say 'dudes'?"
"Yeah. Got a problem with it?"
"Nope. Just wondering if you're the same person or someone snatched your body while your were sleeping."
"It's me dork-face. I'm just happy."
"You just called me dork-face! When did that work it's way into your vocabulary?"
"Just a minute ago. Can I finish brushing my teeth."
"Yeah. Why'd you have the bathroom door open?"
"You ask a lot of questions, kid. I left it open to let the steam out because the mirror was fogged up. Besides, it's fucking hot in here."
"True."
"Eh." Autumn turned back to brushing her teeth and Bill just leaned against the doorway. When she was done and turned around, she let out a squeak.
"Why are you still here?"
"Just wanting to know what you were going to say yesterday."
"....." Autumn pushed past him, grabbing up her laptop and ran out the door.

Sitting in the rounded booth seat, Kara looked at the clock. 3:45 a.m. What the Hell? How did it get to be so late? She rested her head on the cool table, groaning. Her head was hot and Kara had a migraine. The tour bus stopped, sliding her across the seat.
"Ugh...." The driver walked back and stood in front of her.
"You okay, honey?"
"No. I feel like I was hit by a fucking semi."
"Ah, you are sick. Maybe with flu."
"Well, I wouldn't know that until I showed m-Ahhhh!" Kara got up and ran towards the bathroom, barely making it to the toilet. Everything came up. Her breakfast, her lunch, her dinner. She sat up and grabbed a bottle of mouthwash. Swish, spit. Three times. After that was done, Kara brought her knees to her chest, squeezing them tightly against her to stop the pain.
"I don't think you're okay. You need a hospital."
"No, no. I'm good. Honestly."
"No, you're not. Just let me drive to hospital. They'll help you."
"Eh, no. I will be fine. I just need a little medicine and I'm good."
"Alright. If you say so. We're at the hotel now. I'll help you out if you want me to."
"Nah. Thanks for the offer though. You're really nice."
"You're welcome." The driver walked back to the front. Kara sighed and sat there, breathing heavily. She closed the door with her foot and reached up to turn the lock.
"Ugh..." Kara laid down on the floor, curling up into a ball. Black dots danced in front of her eyes.
"Goddammit!" She slammed her fist down on the floor. What the fuck is wrong with me?

Autumn sat on the counter, stunned. Bill had just walked out. Not even waiting for her answer. And the truth was, she would love him if he was a normal person. But, technically, no one was really a normal person. So, did that mean she couldn't love him as a normal person? Autumn shook her head, grumbling at the headache she had.
"Goddamn, girl, what did you do this time?" She looked up to see Georg leaning against the wall.
"I-I don't know."
"Well, it seemed he was pretty pissed."
"Please, I need to think right now."
"Course." Georg walked over and kissed her cheek.
"If you need anything, I'm here. You can always talk to me."
"Yeah, thanks. Bye." He nodded and walked out.
Why, Autumn?! Why did you have to say 'I don't know'?
Because it was the truth.
Are you sure you just weren't scared?
Shut up, you little twit of a second voice.
Hey, what about me?
I forgot about you. Sorry.
Ugh. You suck.
Hey, I said I was sorry!
So, you still suck.
You two, knock it off. We have important business!
Oh, riiiight. The whole not loving Bill thing.
I love Bill, you retarded little th-
If you are about to say I am a 'thing', I must correct you. I am just part of you.
Ah, yeah. Forgot.
Did you forget to say 'I love you too' also?
In Autumn's mind she watched herself lunge for the owner of the voice. But then of course, it was her, just a very different her. Why am I talking to myself? In my head? Why?
'Cause it's how you think things out.
Oh, yeah.
Did you forget again?
Be nice! Bill left not even ten minutes ago. You have to go easy on her.
Well, she ruined it. She could've said 'I love you too', but instead she chose not to. So, now Bill is pissed and it's her fault.
But, if you're not nice, I'll shove my foot up your ass and give you something to complain about. That's all you ever do and it's over nothing.
So, at least I didn't make my lover of nine months leave.
It wasn't nine months. 'Lover' is a term used when you sleep with the person. I only slept with Bill for these past four months, bitch.
You still slept with him, didn't you? And he was fantastic in bed, wasn't he? But you just had to say you couldn't love him.
That's it. I'm gone. Bye.
Autumn hopped off the counter, leaving the bottle of water there. She had to walk, to get rid of the nagging feeling she had. It was pissing her off that it made her feel like she had done wrong. Once again. First the abortion, now this. Autumn walked out of the hotel room, slamming the door behind her. She was now in a funk and when Autumn was in a funk, you didn't mess with her. Her heavy footsteps caused the person in the neaighboring room to open the door. It was Kieran. She continued and then stopped. Kieran??? She turned back around and felt her heart clench. Yes, it was. He was standing, in his towel, looking at her with sorrow in his eyes. Whatever dude. You can just turn those baby blues on someone else 'cause Kara told me. You two timing bastard. Prick. Fucking, shit-faced, moth- Goddammit. I need to stop taking out my anger on people. Even if it's in my head. Even if he is a loser. Autumn turned on her heel and stomped away. No one else opened their doors. No one else looked at her. They all knew she was pissed. Must be my eyes they see it through. She jabbed the elevator button, then decided better and turned to the stairs. A longer walk would help her relax more. She reached the fifth floor when she just sat down on a stair. Being on the 15th floor and walking down 10 flights of stairs really made anger drain away.
"Why the fuck are you on the stairs?!" Autumn jerked her head up, staring at Bill.
"I needed to walk. Why?"
"I've been looking for you."
"Oh?"
"Yeah. I need the key card."
"Oh." Autumn took it out of her pocket and slid it into his hand.
"Just so you're not surprised when you get back, I'll be in a different room. Are you still coming on tour with us?"
"I don't know. Are we still together?"
"I can't be with someone who doesn't love me."
"Well, then, I guess not."
"Yeah, but your sister is on the tour with Tom. You can still go with us."
"Nah. Not like you want me there anyways."
"And what if I did?"
"Yeah, but I don't want to be there because we're not together and I am NOT being reminded of everything we had. So, not going."
"Fine." Bill walked back out the EXIT door. Autumn sighed and rubbed her hands over her eyes. Why did he look like he wanted me there? Does he? Really? I don't want to be there though. Honestly, I can't do it. She stood up and jogged back up the 10 flights of stairs. When she walked through the EXIT door, her legs froze. She couldn't go back into that room. She just couldn't. Of course, she was afraid that she would give up and agree. But, she just didn't want to smell his scent in her room. It would remind her of what they were and how she changed it all. All she had to say were three little words. They wouldn't leave her lips though. They were stubborn adn now that Autumn had the courage to say them, he was already gone. There he was, walking out the door with his bags. Looking so perfect. Looking so...so....it just couldn't be described. Despite the cover she had, a plant covered at least half of her, Autumn still felt like he was staring at her. She looked from behind the large leaves and saw Bill's brown gaze on her. No, not her, the plant. To him, she was invisible. Bill walked down the hall and out of sight. Autumn had missed her chance. Wait, the elevator is slow. She ran down the hall, passing the other band member's rooms and stopped right at the corner. I don't think I can do this.....but I have to. Autumn turned the corner....and found herself staring straight at Bill's chest. Apparently he had waited there. She looked up and saw him looking down at her.
"I take it you wanted to talk."
"Uh, well, erm...I, it's just, uh, I l-"
"Bill! C'mon. Instead of staying here, we're going to drive to the next city tonight."
"Alright. I'm coming Tom," He turned back to Autumn."You're coming on tour with us." Then he walked off and Autumn couldn't help but smile.

Autumn sat at the piano, thinking hard about which song would be best. Finally, ten minutes later, it came to her. The song 'Last Request' by Paolo Nutini. She placed her fingers on the keys and started to play.
Slow down, Lie down,
Remember it's just you and me.
Don't sell out, bow out,
Remember how this used to be.
I just want you closer,
Is that alright?
Baby let's get closer tonight
Grant my last request,
And just let me hold you.
Don't shrug your shoulders,
Lay down beside me.
Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere,
But one last time let's go there,
Lay down beside me
Oh, I've found, that I'm bound
To wander down that one way road.
And I realise all about your lies
But I'm no wiser than the fool I was before.
I just want you closer,
Is that alright?
Baby let's get closer tonight
Grant my last request,
And just let me hold you.
Don't shrug your shoulders,
Lay down beside me.
Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere,
But one last time let's go there,
Lay down beside me
Oh, baby, baby, baby,
Tell me how can, how can this be wrong?
Grant my last request,
And just let me hold you.
Don't shrug your shoulders,
Lay down beside me.
Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere,
But one last time let's go there,
Lay down beside me
Grant my last request,
And just let me hold you.
Don't shrug your shoulders,
Lay down beside me.
Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere,
But one last time let's go there,
Lay down beside me
Yeah, lay down beside me.
One last time let's go there,
Lay down beside me
Autumn stopped and felt hands resting on her shoulders. She turned around adn looked up.
"Of course. I forgive you."
"Oh, Bill." Autumn hugged him, her face buried against his stomach. Bill smelled of rain, but there was an underlying scent.
"Have you been smoking?"
"One cigarette."
"Ew, I'm not letting you kiss me until you brush your teeth."
"Grrr, fine." Bill smiled, wickedly and scooped Autumn up into his arms.
"Ah! What are you doing?!"
"Going to our room."
"Uh, why?"
"Because, we're soaked and need a shower," Bill looked Autumn over. "Or a bath."
"Uh,ah, ok...." Autumn snuggled against Bill's shoulder, enjoying his warmth under his soaked shoulder.
"Hey, Bill...."
"Yeah?"
"You can see straight through your shirt."
"Huh. Don't think it matters if you can see my skin."
"It does to me!"
"Why?"
"Because, I don't like other girls taking you in like this and looking like they want to eat you up."
"Really? I didn't find you that type."
"What type?!" Bill smiled down at Autumn then kissed the tip of her nose.
"I thought you might want to show off your guy."
"Not when girls are practically drooling. I don't like that. It's okay when you're on stage and I don't see it, but when I'm there, they cannot look at you like that. I'm your girlfriend."
"No other girl is of interest to me while I'm with you 'cause all I see is you."
"Awww, you're so sweet." Bill opened the door and placed Autumn on her feet.
"Thank you."
"Welcome." She tugged on her chemise, but it was plastered to her body.
"Ugh, help?"
"Gladly!" Bill slid his hands between the chemise and her skin, pushing it up.
"Alright. That's gone." But Bill's hands were still on her stomach, the tips of his nails lightly tickling her. Bill's eyes, however, were not focused on her exposed skin, but stared straight into her's.
"Uh, Bill?"
"Yeah..."
"What are we doing?" Bill shook his head and removed his hands from her stomach. The sudden rush of cold air against the wet exposed skin made Autumn gasp.
"Are you okay?!"
"Yeah, yeah. It's just, your hands were so hot and then the cold air on my wet skin. Ah, I'm freezing." Autumn ran to the bathroom and opened the shower stall, twisting the Hot water knob.
"You're still in your clothes."
"I know, but it's not gonna hurt. They're already wait."
"Yeah, but, you're just gonna be super freezing when you get back out."
"You're right." Autumn leaned against the stall, stripping off her shorts and then her underclothes. When she was finished, she tilted her head up to the scalding water, knowing she was goiong to be a light shade of pink when she got out. It felt so good. Bill came up and stood behind her, wrapping his arms around her. She leaned out of the water and pressed against him. He was still hot.
"Why are you so freaking hot?"
"Body warmth wise or looks wise?"
"Body warmth."
"I don't know. Maybe because I'm hot for you."
"Haha, I doubt it. I couldn't do that to you."
"Then see what you do to me." Bill turned her around and pressed his lips against her while resting her hand over his heart. It beat wildly. Autumn pulled back and looked at him. His eyes were burning with an intensity she had never seen. Love.
"Are you sure that's what I do?"
"Yes."
"You could be sick. You were out in the rain."
"Are you trying to say I'm wrong about what my heart is telling me?"
"Well, uh, erm....what's it telling you?"
"That I'm so deeply in love. Autumn, I love you so much."
"Did you just find this out today?"
"No. I've known it, I just refused to acknowledge it."
"Why?"
"Because, I didn't feel ready for love."
"Are you sure you're ready now?"
"Yes. Why do you ask that?"
"Uh, eh.....the water is cold." Autumn reached bhind her and turned off the shower, then stepped around Bill to grab a towel. She dried off and tossed a towel to Bill. He caught it and dried off, wrapping it around his waist.
"Autumn, I'm waiting."
"Yeah, I know. Let me get dressed first." Bill walked out of the bathroom with her and pulled on the clothes she tossed him. When she was dressed, Autumn rushed to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water. She held up her finger to Bill, telling him one minute.
"You are stalling."
"I'm not. I'm just thirsty and I want to get these things done before a fight or something else happens."
"Yeah, yeah."
"It's tru-" The hotel room burst open and Tom hurried in.
"Bill, c'mon! David is so fucking pissed. We gotta get down there. NOW!" Tom tugged on Bill's arm and Bill whispered something in his ear."
"Alright. I'll cover for ya." Tom waltxzed back out, closing the door behind him.
"What'd you tell him?"
"That I'm not moving until you start talking."
"Oh. Well, I'm talking, so you can move on down-stairs."
"Don't think so."
"Ugh." Autumn sat the bottle down and hopped up onto the counter. She was staring at the floor, thinking. It must have been more than a few minutes because Bill was suddenly in front of her, his hands on either side of her legs. He had her trapped and he knew it.
"Tell me."
"Why?"
"Do you not love me?"
"...."
"Answer my question."
"I don't know." It was the truth. Autumn didn't know. Her heart was torn in half. She did love him on one level, but on another she couldn't love him.
"B-but...."
"Bill, I can't answer the question with yes or no because it's both. I love you, but I can't."
"What do you mean by can't?"
"You're famous. I don't know if I could live with that all my life."
"I'm not asking for all of your life. I'm asking for now. For here."
"But...I just...I don't...I can't." Autumn looked at Bill, feeling the tears fill her eyes as she saw the sadness in his.
"Au-"
"NO! Bill, I can't. I've done it for nine months, I know. But dating a rockstar is not easy."
"Autumn, I know it isn't. It's not easy being a rockstar. I'm sorry if it hurts you. I am, but I'm not giving up my dream."
"I never asked you to."
"Well, it seems like it. You can't love me because I'ma rockstar. Let me ask you this, though. Would you love me if I was a normal person?" Without waiting for her reply, he walked out of the door.

*Normal Pov*
Bill sat in the small park where he had first met Autumn. His back leaned against the huge rock they had sat on. The ock they had shared their first kiss on. Bill put his head in his hands, tears streaming down his face. The best part about rain was no one could tell if you were crying. Lightning zagged across the sky, but Bill still sat there. Then, when he was finally out of tears, he moved forward on his knees and traced Autumn and his initials carved into the large tree.
"They say that broken hearts can mend, but I think mine is broken for good." Bill looked out from behind the tree and gasped. Autumn was sitting there, at the picnic table, talking to a girl of fourteen.
"I bet you could fix it. All you need is some more love!"
"Yeah. I'm glad you got hopes. Mine have all, but been crushed." Eavesdropping is wrong. Bill banished the thought and continued listening. Autumn moved a little and Bill saw a slight smile on her lips. Her fingers were tracing something on the wood. The initials inside the heart.
"Aw, you can't give up your hopes like that."
"Really?"
"No. You have to hold on. When you get kicked down, get back up and fight for what you want."
"I wish I could've done that with Bill."
"Your boyfriend?"
"Yeah. I told you about the fight."
"But what was it about?"
"Abortion."
"You mean to say you were pregnant?" Autumn nodded.
"Our babies had TTS. I could either risk their lives or just have an abortion. I knew that if I risked their lives and they ended up gone anyways, I wouldn't be able to live with myself. Truth is, I can barely live with myself now. I'll always remember Bill's last words and take them to heart because he is right. I am a monster and it was inhumane. I should've risked it. They could have lived."
"But it was a slim chance!"
"How do you know?"
"Well, uh, my dad was your doctor. He told me everything. Even how when you went back for the procedure, all alone, that you were crying and he said you were truly sorry. If Bill left you for that, he's stupid."
"How so?"
"Because, you're very pretty and you did what you had to do. I know that sounds weird coming from a fourteen year old because you're seventeen, but it's really true."
"Yeah. If only he could forgive me when I can't forgive myself." Bill felt another hot tear slip down his face. The look of sadness on Autumn's face was too great.
"He will. In time. You two just need space, honestly."
"You're right. Thanks, kid."
"The name's Alexias. And you're Autumn. Nice to meet you."
"Same to you. I gotta get going before my sis starts worrying."
"I hope you work things out with Bill."
"Thanks!" Autumn got up and started running towards the park's exit. If only he had the will to follow, she thought. Of course she had known Bill was going to be there. And he was. He just didn't seem to want to forgive. Maybe if she could change his mind with something. Bursting through the doors of the hotel, she spotted a grand piano. Perfect. She asked the manager if she could play, he said he would be happy for her to put music into the old hotel. Autumn smiled and sat down on the bench, cursing as her wet clothes stuck to her thighs. This juliet is bleeding
But you can't see her blood
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up
It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood
You see I've always been a fighter
But without you I give up
Now I can't sing a love song
Like the way it's meant to be
Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore
But baby, that's just me
And I will love you, baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and
The words don't rhyme
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you - Always
Now your pictures that you left behind
Are just memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry
One that made you have to say goodbye
What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair
To touch your lips, to hold you near
When you say your prayers try to understand
I've made mistakes, I'm just a girl
When she holds you close, when she pulls you near
When she says the words you've been needing to hear
I'll wish I was her 'cause those words are mine
To say to you till the end of time
Yeah, I will love you baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always
If you told me to cry for you
I could
If you told me to die for you
I would
Take a look at my face
There's no price I won't pay
To say these words to you
Well, there ain't no luck
In these loaded dice
But baby if you give me just one more try
We can pack up our old dreams
And our old lives
We'll find a place where the sun still shines
And I will love you, baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and
The words don't rhyme
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you - Always "Uh, what was I thinking. That song doesn't fit!" Autumn started playing again. Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help
Falling in love with you Shall I stay ?
Would it be a sin
If I can't help
Falling in love with you ? Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be Take my hand
Take my whole life too
For I can't help
Falling in love with you Autumn sighed. What the Hell was wrong with her? She and Bill hadn't even said 'I love you' yet. Here she was trying to find a song for forgiving and she found one for love. Damn! Let's try again, Autumn told herself. Last time.

August 3, 2007
*Normal Pov*
Autumn sat by the hotel's window in Germany, tears streaming down her face. She wouldn't talk to anyone about what was bothering her, wouldn't answer everyone's questions about where Bill was. Her heart clenched each time she thought of how he had gone off in anger. They had fought and now, he was gone.
"Autumn?"
"Go away."
"No. I want to know what happened and I want to know now!" Autumn turned away from the window and stared at her sister.
"Why do you want to know?!"
"Because, I have the right to know why you're crying. I'm your sister. I love you."
"I love you too. I just can't really share it with anyone now. I just can't."
"Well, then tell me where Bill is."
"He's GONE! We fought and he left!!!"
"Oh."
"Yes. Now, get OUT!" Kara nodded and rushed out of the room. Autumn turned back towards the window, her tears stopping and her heart freezing at what she saw. Bill was standing below the window, looking up at her. Autumn pushed open the window and leaned out. Bill just stared up and then, he shouted.
"Autumn! Wake-up! Wake-up!"
"Huh?" Autumn turned away, trying to move from the invisible hands shaking her body. Finally, her eyes popped open. Kara was above her, looking worried and concerned.
"K-kara?"
"Yeah. Just a dream, baby. Just a dream."
"Wh-where's Bill?" Kara turned her sad hazel eyes upon Autumn's crystal blue ones.
"He's gone. Don't you remember that you two had a fight?"
"Ah. That's what my dream was about. I hoped it wasn't true, but it is and..." Autumn stopped for the tears were now streaming down her face again and she was shaking. Kara wrapped her arms around her and soothed her with songs of their childhood.
"Kara, we fought about the abortion."
"I know, honey. I know."
"He said it was inhumane. That I killed our children. You heard the doctor though. He said there was a risk. I couldn't take that risk!"
"Of course you couldn't. Of course not."
"He yelled at me and I yelled back. Why did I yell back?! Why?" Autumn pushed Kara away and ran out of the bedroom and the hotel room. Running down the halls, she was glad it was early for no one else was awake. Autumn ran until she was outside in the pouring rain. Her legs carried her through the deserted streets. When she finally stopped walking, Autumn found herself in the same park she had first kissed Bill. The same park where their initials were scratched into the wood of a tree and a picnic table. Autumn sat at the picnic table, lost in her thoughts. Absent-mindedly, her fingers traced Bill's initials.
"Are you okay?" She looked up, into the face of a fourteen year old.
"Yeah. Wanna come sit with me?"
"Sure. You look lonely."
"I am." The girl sat beside her and looked, curiously, at the initials carved into the table.
"Why are you lonely?" Autumn smiled.
"I got into a big fight with my boyfriend of nine months. He left without a goodbye."
"Why didn't you follow?"
"I was too busy crying."
"Oh. I probably would've too. Is there a reason you're sitting out in the rain?"
"No." Yes. No one can tell I'm crying.

*Normal Pov*
As Bill and Kara walked down to the kitchen for ice, Autumn rushed out of her room.
"Oh! Bill, what happened?"
"Tom and I just had a fight. It's okay. All better now."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah. Of course."
"Hmmm...why were you fighting?"
"Uh, I sort of forgot now. Just something really stupid. I think about my make-up and hair or something. Really, no biggie. We do that sometimes."
"Ok..." Autumn continued down to the Gyma and Kara grinned.
"Nice lie."
"Well, it's part truth. We started on that and then it ended up being something else. Then it went back to my make-up."
"Oh. So?"
"What?"
"Do you not like me?"
"In the friend way, yeah."
"But you don't think Tom should date me."
"He's known you about four days."
"Yeah. Hey, will you promise not to tell him this?"
"Tell him what?"
"Well, the I didn't really Glamour him all that well, but the reason he reacted like he did was he already had feelings." Bill laughed.
"Oh, he'd deny it up and down if I told him, but I won't. Better for him to find otu on his own."
"Yeah. Oh, I have to ask your brother something. I was going to and then I kinda got distracted by you two fighting."
"What were you going to ask him?'
"None ya business." Kara grinned and ran back towards Tom's room. She opened the door and saw Tom on the window seat, leaning halfway out the window.
"What are you doing?!" Tom yelped and fell back in the window.
"Don't scare me like that!!!"
"Ok. What were you doing?"
"Looking outside."
"Why were you halfway out the window."
"I thought I saw something at the edge of the forest."
"Huh. Let me see." Kara walked to the window and looked out, oblivious to Tom's gaze on her ass. Leaning forward, she swung herself out and onto the ledge of the roof. Nothing. Wait, no, there it was again.
"I think it's our dog. Although he's never gone to the forest before."
"Maybe it's Felix."
"Oh, I need to talk to you about that."
"About what?"
"We are not dating!"
"Huh? Oh, riiiight. I just told him what he wanted to hear."
"Yeah, well, it got back to me. And I wanted to set the record straight."
"We can't date anyways because I have to go home today. Or else Gustav and Georg will be looking for me. And Bill."
"Aren't you on vacation?"
"Yeah, but they know we won't just disappear like that." Kara nodded and slid down the roof a little.
"What are you doing?! Are you crazy?!"
"Uh, no. I'm gonna jump of the roof."
"Why in the world would you want to do that?"
"Cause I can." With those words, she jumped off the roof and ran towards the forest.
*In The Gym*
Autumn was just sitting there, playing her guitar. This was the one place no one could hear her play. She loved it. Caught up in her music, she didn't notice the door swinging open. Bill stood there, holding an ice-pack against his eye, watching Autumn and listening to her play. When she finished, he made his presence known.
"That was good." Her head jerked up and she stared at him.
"Why are you down here?"
"Trying to relax and I was just walking around."
"Oh. Do you want to come sit?"
"If you'll continue playing."
"I will."
"Then I'll sit." Bill sat by Autumn and she started playing a song from her childhood. Apparently Bill recognized it, for he started singing softly. She smiled at him and he smiled back. Three hours came to pass and they were still there in the Gym, talking of something and absolutely nothing. Conversation was made with motions as well as words and they soon were telling tales of their past. The laughter from the Gym carried through the halls. Night fell and they were still in that same room, still chattering merrily. Bill looked at his watch and told the time. Neither of them cared. The Gym was furnished so lushly that one could choose to sleep there. And that's what they did. In the early morning hours, Bill woke. It may have been the first time he had woken this early since becoming famous and not being able to get his needed sleep. He turned his eyes upon Autumn, her dark locks fanned across the pillow. The glowing light from the window touched upon the edge of her face and she slowly opened her eyes.
"Bill..."
"Good morning, beauty." Autumn smiled and moved slightly towards him. He didn't shrink away from her, but welcomed her warmth. Soon, their arms were around each other, both of them sleeping soundly again.

Kara walked to the closed bathroom door and pressed her ear to it. Two voices were arguing in whispers.
"Tom, how can you like her?"
"I like her because she likes me for me. ow, move."
"Ugh, she's a..a vampire."
"Half-breed."
"She still has fangs."
"Not fangs. Incisors that are naturally sharper than human's teeth." The water faucet was turned on and then a pained groan.
"Does it matter? She could still bite you or something."
"She wouldn't. She's not like that. Besides, you like Autumn."
"But I haven't acted on it."
"Bill, Kara and I kissed. It was a kiss."
"That could lead to something bigger."
"Bill, don't make me clock you again."
"Fine, fine. All, I'm saying is be careful. She is part vampire so that must mean she has at least some vampire qualities."
"Alright. Shut up."
"Okay." Kara opened the door and looked at their surprised faces. Uh, beaten faces.
"Hiya. Couldn't help but hear your conversation and thought I should ask, Did you beat the shit out of each other?"
"He started it." Tom looked at Bill and stuck out his tongue.
"You satrted it with your verbal abuse owards Kara. If you had just walked out of the room, I wouldn't have hit you in the face."
"Yeah, and you know how much make-up it's gonna take to cover up the damned black eye? Lots."
"I don't think it matters because you already wear lots."
"I do not!"
"You do too and you end up looking like a fucking raccoon."
"Shut up! I don't and you're just saying it because you're trying to make me leave the room. It's not working."
"I'm not trying to make you leave the room. You can leave the room when tyou want. It's true."
"I said shut up."
"And what if I don't?" Bill swung and his fist connected with Tom's jaw. Kara watched from the doorway, amused, as the two started another fist fight. Before they could pratically kill each other though, she stopped them.
"Alright. Stop." They continued fighting. Kara walked over and grabbed both descending fists.
"I said stop. You're brothwers you can't kill each other over stupid shit." Bill and Tom glared at her.
"I don't care if you want to kill each other, I'm not letting you. So, put down your hands and be nice to each other." She put their hands back in their laps and sat between them on the floor.
"Bill, do you want some ice for that black eye?"
"Sure. Thank you."
"Okay. But you're coming with me."
"Why?"
"I am not leaving you two alone. You already beatthe shit out of each other. Twice! Now, c'mon." She pulled Bill up and out of them room.

August 2, 2007
Bill's Pov:
It was the afternoon of the check-up and I was extremely nervous. Autumn and Kara were chatting merrily while I sat, fidgeting.
"Autumn, you can come back now."
"Oh, yay!" Autumn got up, holding Kara's hand. I just sat there until the nurse looked at me.
"You can go back too."
"I can?"
"Of course. You are the father!" I smiled and rushed back, almost bumping into the doctor.
"Whoa, young man. Slow down. I realize you have a pregnant love in there, but she is fine."
"I understand. My apologies." The doctor nodded and was on his way. I continued, walking, down the hall towards Autumn and Kara.
"Bill! The doctor said this was the last check-up if everything is alright."
"Ok." I held her other hand and we walked into the large room. The nurse patted the table and Autumn hopped up, lying back.
"Alrighty! I'll be checking you today and if we find something wrong, well, I'll get the doctor." The nurse smiled brightly and lifted Autumn's shirt up, rubbing her hands around her stomach.
"Ah, it's cold."
"Yeah, I know. I wish we could somehow warm it! Make our patients a little more comfortable." She started checking everything and when the picture came on the screen of our baby, I let out a sigh.
"Oh, Bill! Lookie."
"Do you want to know the gender of the baby?"
"Of course!"
"Uh, it's a boy. Oh, wait they're both boys. It's twins"
"Boys? Twins? You here that Bill, you can teach your sons to be little rockstars!" I chuckled and held Autumn's hand tighter. The nurse continued checking, the smile still on her face, and then, her smile was gone. She moved her hand back to a certain spot on Autumn's stomach. The nurse squinted at the screen and looked at Autumn.
"Honey, I have to go get the doctor. Something isn't looking right." Autumn's hand squeezed mine tighter and I could feel it trembling.
"Baby, it's gonna be okay. Really. Everything's gonna be okay."
"Bill, she said something wasn't looking right."
"But, she could have mistaken it. Right, Kara? Right?"
"Yeah, of course. Autumn, it's fine." Autumn's chin trembled and a single tear ran down her cheek. I bent down and hugged her tight.
"Bill, Autumn. I'm Dr. Liebe." I looked up at him, blinking my eyes rapidly.
"Is your last name German?"
"No. It's English or something. Why?"
"Because Liebe in German means Love."
"Oh. Uh, well, um, alright. Now, my nurse tells me that something wasn't right with the scan so I'm gonna check and make sure."
"O-okay." The doctor started checking and then just stared at the screen.
"She was right."
"What is it?"
"It's a rare condition known as Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. This means the twins share blood circulation..."
"Uh, explain a little more." Dr. Liebe nodded and continued.
"As a result of sharing a single placenta, the blood supplies of monochorionic twin fetuses can become connected, so that they share blood circulation. Although each fetus uses its side of the placenta, the blood vessels connecting the twins allow blood to pass from one twin to the other. Depending on the number, type and direction of the interconnecting blood vessels, blood can be transferred disproportionately from one twin to the other. The transfusion causes the donor twin to have decreased blood volume, retarding the donor's development and growth, and also decreased urinary output, leading to a lower than normal level of amniotic fluid, becoming oligohydramnios. The blood volume of the recipient is increased, which can strain the fetus's heart and eventually lead to heart failure, and also higher than normal urinary output, which can lead to excess amniotic fluid becoming polyhydramnios."
"Oh my God! Bill!" Autumn started sobbing, sitting up and hugging her knees to her chest.
"There are three ways we can treat this."
"Well, tell me!"
"One, you can have an abortion. Two, serial amniocentesis, which involves periodically draining amniotic fluid from around the recipient twin in an effort to reduce the pressure of the amniotic fluid. This can lead to premature birth, so we don't recommend it. Three, TTTS can also be treated by surgery during pregnancy, using fetoscopy to find the interconnecting blood vessels, and a laser beam to coagulate the blood in these vessels, blocking them. It's called fetoscopic laser ablation."
"Oh! Is there risk."
"Yes. There is a lot of risk in the last two procedures. If you choose one of them and it doesn't save the babies, we will pay for the operation and medication."
"Uh, Bill?!" I looked at Autumn, my eyes filled with tears.
"Honey, I am not deciding. They may be our babies, but if I choose the wrong thing, I will never forgive myself." I sat in a chair beside the bed and cradled my head in my hands. Why did it have to go so wrong? Why?
"Abortion." I jerked my head up, staring at her.
"I am not taking the chance, Bill. I can't. If they die during the other procedures or they don't work, I'm not going to forgive myself."
"I understand."
"We can give you time to decide on a procedure. You don't have to decide today. Honestly."
"Then we'll be back in a week or two."
"Yes. Alright."

*Normal Pov*
"Kara Lyinn!" Autumn was pissed. The lights had been blown out again. She stomped towards Kara's room, slamming the door open. Kara was lying on her bed, head-phones on. Her eyes popped open as Autumn's breathing reached her through the music. She pressed the 'Pause' button and looked at her sister.
"Where's Tom?"
"Huh? Why would I know where Tom was?"
"The lights are blown out again! I want to know if you had anything to do with it."
"Of course I didn't. I've been lying here, listening to music."
"Alright. Now, help me find who blew the fuse box and the lights." Kara hopped off the bed and they searched the rooms. Hearing panting and moans from the upstairs room, they ran to it, throwing open the door.
"Jack!"
"Amelia!" Jack and Amelia pulled apart and looked at the girls.
"Ah! You two blew the fuse box and lights!" Amelia smiled.
"Sorry. I guess it kinda got out of hand and our power amped up." Felix, Amelia and Jack's son, came rushing in, carrying a lighted candle.
"Uh, mooom, daaad! Not again."
"Again?"
"They did it last weekend, when you were visiting your friends." Kara looked at Amelia and Jack.
"Gah! Sex maniacs!" She walked out, leaving two stunned parents and two grinning kids. Felix ran after her.
"Kara! Kara! Is it true th-"
"Listen twerp, I know what you're going to ask. I'm not answering it." Felix started grinning again and still, pursued her.
"Aw, come on! You blew the fuse box yesterday. You and that Tom guy! Do you know he's famous? Do ya?"
"He's famous?"
"Yeah. Him and his brother are from the band Tokio Hotel! It's so awesome that you and him are dating!"
"We're not dating."
"That's not what he told me." Kara's mouth fell open and Felix started laughing.
"Ah, I believe I need to have a talk with him."
"Are you gonna whoop his ass??? If you are, can I watch?"
"You shouldn't be saying ass. You're too little."
"I'm thirteen! That's not little."
"Well, no, I'm not gonna whoop his ass."
"Aw, man." Kara smiled and ruffled the boy's shaggy hair.
"Go outside and play with Demon."
"He slobbers on me." In spite of his words though, Felix ran outside and started a game of fetch with the dog. Kara watched them for a moment and then started towards Tom's room.
"Tom?" His door was ajar and when she opened it, a smell she knew too well wafted out into the hallway. Blood. She ignored it and walked fully into the room. Tom was not to be seen. Kara touched a spot of wet blood on the dresser and brought it to her lips. Tasting it, she could tell it was not his. Then who's?

*Normal Pov*
Tom walked the halls, looking for Kara. She had said to meet her in the Gym. He just had to find the Gym.
"Tom, what are you doing?"
"Looking for Kara."
"Oh. The Gym is down that hall and then down the steps on your right."
"Thanks, Autumn." Tom was kinda getting used to the whole half-breed thing. Even though they had their fangs down all the time. He ran down the hall and took the stairs to his right.
"Took you long enough."
"Well, it's not like I know your house like the back of my hand." Kara laughed and sat on a bench. Her t-shirt was drenched in sweat., which was also running down her neck and face.
"Alright. Sit next to me."
"Why?"
"Because, I know you still have questions. The questions you didn't want to ask around your brother, for you need a demonstration." Tom stared at her. It was as if she had read his mind. Kara patted the spot beside her and Tom sat down.
"Ask your first question."
"Why are your fangs always out?"
"Technically they're not fangs, they're just incisors that are naturally sharper than human's incisors."
"Oh. What brings a vampire's fangs out?"
"The sight of blood. The smell of blood. And sex."
"Uh, how does Glamour work?"
"A vampire or half-breed can look into your eyes, hold your gaze and just push a thought into your head. They will you to be unafraid. They can also fill you with lust."
"How can they fill you with lust?"
"Do you want a demonstration?"
"Yes. Please."
"Alright. Look at me." Tom looked into her eyes and suddenly they were glowing a bright green. His fear evaporated and Kara leaned forward, scraping her fangs across his neck gently. And Tom suddenly felt like he would lose it. He just wanted to rip her clothes off and fuck her. Badly. She pulled back, her eyes wide.
"Tom! Stop it!" Kara was scooting back on the bench, looking at Tom in fear. No one had reacted like this to her Glamour before. He was staring at her as if his life depended on it. She reached out and touched his cheek. His skin was feverish. Maybe something went wrong, she thought. Tom grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him, capturing her mouth with his. Kara couldn't help but react to Tom's touch. His tongue glided across her lower lip, begging for entrance, She obliged. Her head was heavy with desire. Caught in a kiss and embrace, the two didn't hear the door slam open.
"Kara Lyinn Van Helsing!" The kiss stopped and Kara saw Tom's blush. Just past him was Autumn, her balled fists on her hips.
"Au-Autumn, this isn't what it looks like! I swear."
"Yeah. It isn't. She was demonstrating Glamour and th-"
"Shut up! Kara, you blew the lights out." Kara's brow furrowed.
"Huh?"
"There was an explosion of power and now, the lights are blown. The fuse box isn't working either."
"Uh, I didn't exert that much power."
"Well, tell it to the busted lights and the blown fuse box."
"I'm sorry Autumn. I just gave a demonstration of Glamour and then Tom was staring at me so intensely and kissed me. I didn't know the power was gonna do that. Honest."
"I believe you, but next time you Glamour someone, do it outside of the house!" Autumn stomped back out, shutting the door behind her. Kara and Tom looked at each other.
"I take it this as never happened before."
"No."

Kara's Pov:
I yawned and stretched. Moving a little, I felt an arm draped across me and a hand on my stomach. I looked down and saw that it was so a guy's hand.
"Are you awake?" Tom. I turned over and looked at him.
"What happened?"
"Helena called me. So, I came over here and then she left."
"Ok."
"Weird though."
"What was weird?"
"For some reason she said 'Take good care of your girlfriend'. Any reason why she would say that?" Last night came flooding back and with that the memory of Helena's lips on mine. It had turned to a full blown kiss and I had pulled back, but I hadn't said anything. Or had I?
"Uh, I don't know. I have to shower." I hopped up and ran into the bathroom. I HAD said something. I had stopped because I was thinking of Tom and then I let it slip that I loved him. Helena had just assumed he was my boyfriend. Shit!
"Damn you, Kara. Damn you!"I turned on the shower and came out ten minutes later, freezing. The benefit of a cold shower was that it cleared your fuzzy head. The bad thing about taking a cold shower was you froze your ass off. I was shivering uncontrollably, my teeth chattering. And that's when I realized, I forgot an extra pair of clothes. Fuck.
"Kara, you stupid, forgetful, fuck." I opened the door and peeked out. Tom was on the bed, flipping through a book. No, not just a book. My book.
"Ah, Tom?"
"Huh?"
"I need clothes." His head jerked up and he took in the towel.
"I see that."
"Got any?"
"Uh, I just really have a jacket..."
"Well, shit. Give me yourn shirt, wear your jacket."
"Uh, you're so bossy."
"Yeah and I'm also naked. Now help me out and give me your shirt."
"Fine." Tom stripped off his shirt and threw it at me. Good thing it was black. I shut the door again and slipped the shirt over my head after pulling my underclothes back on. Walking out, I saw Tom was back on the bed, reading the book.
"Hey, you. We can go."
"Kay." He slipped the book in his back pocket and pulled on his jacket.
"Y'know, I never thought I'd actually like you wearing baggy clothes, but now I am."
"You don't like my baggy clothes?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"I don't know. I've never liked baggy clothes."
"Oh."
"Yeah. So, uh, what happened yesterday?"
"What do you mean?" Tom hit the down button on the elevator and we waited.
"You didn't want me to touch you."
"Oh, that? I was just, uh, well I was jealous of Kieran."
"Why?" The elevator doors slid open and thankfully, there was no one in there.
"Because, he had the girl I wanted."
"Why do you wnat me?"
"You ask to many questions."
"I just want to know."
"Alright," Tom turned to me and placed his hands on either side of my head, cornering me against the wall. "I love you. More than I ever loved Melissa."
"Then why didn't you come after me that day I left?"
"You needed time and so did I. When you came back, I had already realized I love you."
"Oh."
"Yeah. Kiss me." I tilted my head back and stood on tip-toes, kissing him dead on.
