The Ghost Hunters and The Familiar Strangers

Laura laid down on her bed thinking about the changes that have been happening lately. She didn't know whether to be grateful for it or not. She was waiting for her dad to come back so he can start explaining himself. Starting from how he became a vampire to why he hid it from everyone. She wants to hear all about it or they both continue living in the house like strangers.

"Sis". Ashley called opening the door as she entered her sister's room.

Laura looked up at her. "What is it now, Ash?". She asked.

Ashley sat beside her sister trying to see if there were any changes in her outer appearance that showed she was OK, but she needed to be sure that it was, the same with her inside. "How are you feeling?". Ashley asked, trying not to sound suspicious.

Laura sat up on her bed as she glanced at her sister not believing her ears. "Where is this coming from?". She asked, folding her arms and staring at her sister in disbelief.

"Come on, I've always been caring". Laura laughed as Ashley joined her. "Well, maybe not all the time". Ashley added. "But how do you feel?". She asked again.

Laura thought for a moment. "I am fine apart from the fact that I'm still angry with dad and those people," she said referring to Evan and Reed.

"I'm sure they had a good reason". Ashley said, trying to defend the guys.

"A good reason?". Laura asked. "I guess that would be to make a fool out of me because I can't think of any other reason.".

"Maybe we should hear it from him". Laura looked at Ashley, wondering why she made that statement, and immediately a knock was heard. "Come in". Ashley answered.

"This is my room you can't just....". Laura paused as Evan came into her room.

"Your mom told me it was OK to come to see you". Evan said as he stood at the door.

"I'm gonna leave you guys to talk". Ashley said as she left the two of them alone in the room.

Evan stood waiting for some kind of gesture before he could leave where he was. Laura looked at him. "Don't think I'm going to ask you to sit or anything". She told him and with that, he got the gesture he needed. He walked up to her and sat at the edge of her bed.

"Laura.."

"I guess you enjoyed making me a fool right?". Laura asked. "You kept this away from me then what the hell are we friends for if you can't open up to me about matters such as this".

"... Because I was scared". He replied immediately. That shut her up a little bit. "I didn't know how you were going to take it or what you would do if you knew what I was. I didn't know if you would be disgusted or irritated, that's why I decided to keep it to myself. Believe me, Laura I've been wanting to tell you".

"Don't give me that crap Evan". Laura said. Her anger was rising to a stage where whatever she says wouldn't matter to her even if it hurts the person. "Let me ask you something". Evan nodded as she continued. "If all this hadn't happened, would you have told me?" She asked as Evan looked at her. Her eyes were so dark and he could tell she was hurt.

He looked away as he thought about the question, would he have told her if all, this hadn't happened?

The urge came again and there was no way he could control it. He has to do something. He went to where the team where, although Evan left to meet Laura, Reed was in charge of taking care of the team when he was gone.

Adam looked around searching for someone but he couldn't find who he was looking for.

"Hey, have any of you seen Emerald?". He asked the team.

"She took a stroll". Phoebe replied. "Alone?". Adam asked.

"She went with Reed". Jim told him.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

The moment Adam heard it, he didn't know why his heart was beating fast. Different thoughts came to his head... Thoughts he never thought would cross his mind found their way into his mind. "What if she was kissing him or doing something else? What if Reed was...". He shook the thoughts away as he went outside.

"Is he OK?". Phoebe asked.

Chloe and Jim looked at each other because they knew what was happening.

Reed and Emerald walked down the street as they chatted about their experiences this past few weeks. Although Emerald hated him, she couldn't anymore because he now owns a part of her heart while the other part belongs to Adam, but she wasn't sure if she should still wait or just accept her fate.

"Do you still love him?". Reed asked out of the blue as Emerald looked at his eyes, wondering if the question was a safe one to answer. Reed smiled assuring her it was OK.

Emerald nodded. "Although I don't think it's the same for him". She said as they halted.

"What makes you say that?". He asked.

"There are some things that just can't be explained". She said as he nodded, not trying to force it. "What about you? Anyone in particular that you like?". She asked.

Reed laughed, trying to dodge the question. "Seriously?". He asked as Emerald smiled. When Reed saw she wasn't going to stop until he answers, he decided to tell her. "Well, I do, but, right now... I don't know if I should continue liking her or just give up".

"Is it one-sided?". She asked.

Reed shook his head. "I don't know... just like you said there are some things that just can't be explained".

Adam was eavesdropping and spying on them everywhere they went.

Reed could sense someone was following them and he could tell it was Adam so he decided to play a trick. Although he wasn't sure how the trick was going to turn out or if there would be any consequences, he was ready to go for it.
