something about the way that I had felt about Max that was trumping everything else.
“Laynie, you have to listen to what I’m saying.”
I straightened myself and tried to make myself look like I was interested in what he was saying. This was will be so hard because all I wanted to do was be with Max.
I wanted to touch him, to know his body like I knew my own. I wanted to lie beside him and talk about things that held no real importance in life.
“You have an important decision to make” my father said.
Max lowered his head and I knew that the decision that he was talking about was not one that I could take lightly. I was attuned to Max so well that I knew that this was going to be a major thing to decide.
“What decision?”
“You have to decide which side you want to be on.”
There was no question what he was talking about. The fact that I was a vampire and a witch could call some serious trouble for all of us and he was now asking me to choose. I had asked him before about how I was going to be allowed to be a part of his coven.
“If you choose to stay a vampire I will have to strip you of all your power. Make no mistake, it is not easy thing to do” Alzar said to me and for the first time I saw true fear in his eyes.
Did he mean that this could be dangerous? Surely not. He is such a powerful sorcerer and there was no doubt my mind that he could do anything he set his heart and soul to.
Max turned to me and I could see the tears welling in his eyes. This was shaping up to be a bigger deal than I thought it was going to be.
“This could kill you.” His words were shaky and just to hear him like that tore at me. He was feeling pain, so much that I could feel it as well.
Every moment that went by revealed a new surprise for me. I feel what he feels and I can hear what he thinks.
I was speechless. It seems that I am destined to be tortured for all of eternity. Nothing ever went the way that I wanted and the only thing that I asked for was just a moment of peace. A moment where nothing was going to go wrong and I could be happy. I just want to live, to be with my family and friends.
“You cannot be both at the same time. The others will try to kill you just because you are what you are” Max whispered, his voice shaking from his emotions. “You will have to give up everything and everyone that you know now.”
I just found my father and had begun to accept what my destiny really is. Times like these make me wish for death. It seemed so much easier just to give up than to go through everything that I am going through.
“And if I choose to stay a witch?”
My father smiled at my question. “That is a different story, but you have to make that decision for yourself. No one can make it for you.”
Although, the nature of this discussion was frightening me and I already knew which side I was going to choose, I wanted to hear what was going to happen to me before I said anything.
“I learn a spell many years back that could turn a vampire back into a human, but I have only done it once. The vampire that requested that made it through quite well and I believe that it will work out the same for you as well.”
That seemed to be the silver lined cloud that I had been searching for and I knew that I could not leave my mother. I wanted to be here with all of them. Alice and Caleb need me. How else would they be able to make it? They sure as hell can’t do it on their own.
When Aden turned me I had not been given a choice, but now I had one and I was going to make it the right way. There was only one option for me now…life.
“I don’t want to be a vampire” I told the both of them. “I never wanted this.”
“So what is your decision?”
“I want to be human again.”
As I voiced my choice to them, my father came over to me so quickly that it startled me. His arms were around me in a loving embrace as he started to
