Under the surface Epilogue

Epilogue

“Trinity leave your brother alone and Steven stop whacking your sister with your wings!” I stared at the two most beautiful children I have seen. They ran up and down the beach Trinity shifting into the form of her brother and Steven flying around hitting her. I felt arms wrap around me I looked up into Anthony face, “Do you think they will ever get along?” he laughed and nodded, “They will soon enough.” “I hope your right.” I looked back out to beach Trinity was now fifteen her long waving brown hair pasted her ribs and her eyes sparkled with a greenish blue like her father. Ken he had just turned eleven and was already taller than his sister and he was the skinniest thing I ever say, he had both of our hair and my eyes. I called to them to come back to the house and they ran to me and hugged me. We all walked back to the beach house Anthony had built with in our second year of marriage it seemed like it was just yesterday we got married though it was seventeen years ago. I walked into the house and I smelled apple pie and of course it was because Anthony, he had taken to cooking like a moth to a flame. We sat down to have the pie and cross hanging from the wall behind Anthony was so beautiful surprisingly it was a wedding gift from Matt. I missed town and its people but this was our home and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I have a wonderful husband and two amazing kids and we were a family. Surely we are different from any other family but a family just the same.

Ok so that is the end... remember this is just the first draft

Chapter 9

Ch 9

I looked to the noise and there walked out of the darkness Anthony. I ran to him and threw my arms around him as I did he winced in pain. I looked to see a huge gash on his left wing. “What happened here?” “When you fell you blacked out and William saw that and tried to go after you. I jump in front of the attack and that is how I got this cut. We fought for hours and then I finally remembered the sun.” “The sun?” “You know how it is shaded down him under the trees?” “Yes.” “Well it isn’t above them, so I grabbed him and flew him up beyond the trees and then I threw him high into the sky and then he burst into flames.” “So it is over?” “I am not sure…I do not know if there are more or if more will come to this town. I still think the best thing for us is to get out and go over the mountain.” “Can you still fly?” “Yes but not as fast or as long for now. We can fly to the top were the river starts and set up came till morning.” “Ok let’s go.” He swooped me up and flew straight up to the sky. He flew right to the top and then he started to bob up and down. “You better land.” He nodded and landed on the other side of the river. He set me down and I pulled out a blanket from my backpack for him to lie down on. I kneeled down beside him and hummed the same melody he had hummed to me. He slowly drifted to sleep. I lay beside him and stared into the night sky and hoped the worst was over. I woke the next morning and sat up and looked all around me. I looked next to me and Anthony was still a sleep. I got up and looked around, it was so beautiful I looked out past the trees and there stood Canada. We had made it past the river and now our lives could go on. I moan from behind me I turned to see Anthony trying to sit up. I ran to his side and helped him slowly sit up. I looked at his wing and the cut had closed up over night. He placed his hand on my face, “We made it and now I can I ask you some thing?” “Of course, anything.” “Will you marry me?” I looked into his eyes they were so pure and honest and a light beamed through them. “Of course I will.” I was a little afraid to hug him but he gave me a look saying I couldn’t break him. He pulled me in and wrapped his arms around me. He kissed me forehead and had me lean against him. He got up carrying me with him and then shot right into the sky and went down to the town at the bottom of the mountain

Under the surface ch 8

Ch 8

We got our stuff together and I ran down to the front desk to leave my notice. I went back up stairs and waited till the bar hours were near. I went back down and walked out the front door. I looked to the bar to see if William was there and he was there getting punching in his card. I looked to the forest and calmly walked towards it. I was half way there then I heard a crash, I looked behind me and a table was lying outside the bar and glass was everywhere. People gathered around it and I made a run for the forest then I heard sirens all over the town. I made it to the tree line and looked back for one last time. Down by the bar there was police dragging out Matt and William except I could see the William was grinning. Just then he threw the police officer that was holding him off of him and then open is mouth and screeched a horrible sound. I looked above me to see Anthony flying above and he swooped down and grabbed me. He flew as fast as he could to the edge of the forest to the foot of the mountain. He flew down and set me down, “I need to rest for a moment.” “But what about William won’t he come after us after all he saw me, I could tell.” “It will only be for a moment.” Just then a big rustle of the leaves came and then there stood William with blood on his lips. “I always knew you weren’t what you seemed Anthony and to think you pick to steal a vampire’s girl, not wise not wise at all.” “I am not your girl, and I was never truly yours to begin with. And Keith is not the only one who is not what they seem to be—“ “Oh save your breath I know what you are,” my heart skipped a beat “I knew since the first time you changed here in this town.” “Why didn’t you ever say anything?” “Oh like you would tell me. Though I am sure you told Anthony already after all you love him and you never loved me because like you said you were never truly mine.” “If you knew that I didn’t love you then why did you even try to keep going out with me?” “Because you’re the first inhuman girl I have ever met and I wanted to see what I could do with you, you were kind of like a new toy.” “You Pig!” “Oh like you haven’t tried anything with Anthony your angel.” “Well for information no I haven’t.” “Hmm that is very interesting and why is that?” “Wouldn’t you like to know!” I backed up and stood next to Anthony. “Well don’t think your leaving here in one piece unless Hayden you come back with me.” “Never.” “Ok have it your way.” Just then William mouth opened and his fangs grew, Anthony pushed me down and stood in front of me. As I fell to the ground I hit my head on a rock and then it went black…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~two hours later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I woke up and stare blankly in the sky. What had happened and where was I? I sat up slowly and saw I was exactly where I had fallen. I looked around to see blood and feathers everywhere. Anthony! Where was Anthony and where was William? I stood up and circled all around. There was no one to be seen. I heard a rustle of the bushes.

Ch 7

Ch 7

I woke to a loud bang on the front door and I sat straight up. I looked around and saw that Anthony was nowhere to be found. I walked to the living room and there was a note on the table,

Hayden,
I didn’t want wake I went back to my place to start packing. I will be back as soon as the coast is clear. Love you.

Anthony

I put the note in my room and hid it in my dresser. There was another bang on the door. I walked calmly up to the door, “Who is it?” “Who else would it be? It’s me William.” Crap, “One minute.” I put some better clothes on and then opened the door. “Finally what took you?” “Um I was getting changed. What is your problem?” “Problem? I don’t have a problem.” “Yeah you do! Listen it is best you not come in ok I want to tell you something.” “What?” he stared into my eyes with so much anger “I think it would be best if we take a break from each other, you know see other people?” “What!” “I am sorry but you have changed too much since I started going out with you and I don’t like it at all. I think it is best we break up.” He looked at me and he got a little smirk on his face and grabbed my face and made me look into his eyes. “I don’t think you want to break up with me Hayden. I think you should keep going out with me, you have no idea what I am capable of.” Oh yeah right I know exactly what you are, I just looked him in the eye and took his hand from my face and pulled it down and backed away a little. “Goodbye William.” As I closed the door and saw that he was shocked for some reason as if he really thought I was going to change my mind. I closed it and locked the door though I am not sure if they could hold him back. I went to my room and looked out the window. I saw William walk into the bar and sit down at the counter. I opened the window so some air could get in and walked into the kitchen to make some lunch.
I put some water on the stove and then heard a loud thud from the bedroom. Afraid of it being William a grabbed a knife and walked to my room. I opened the door and saw Anthony standing there wings spread out with bags of stuff in his hands. “What is the knife for?” “What? Oh I thought you were someone else.” “Oh I see you thought a knife could kill a vampire?” “Hey it couldn’t hurt.” He just laughed and put his stuff down and opened his arms wide waiting for me to come and greet him. I put the knife down on the dresser and ran over and wrapped my arms around his neck. “Next time I don’t care if you sleep until noon I will not ever leave you till you wake up.” I looked up to and him and said, “That’s sounds like a plan.” And I kissed him; he bent he head to deepen the kiss. We held each other for a couple of moments and then we headed to the living room. He sat down on the couch and I finished the lunch I was making. I offered him some and he gladly took a whole plate’s worth of pasta.
After that he sat back on the couch and I was walking towards to the window when he took his wing and wrapped it around me and pulled me towards him. He pulled me right on top of him and ran him fingers threw my hair and hummed that melody he had hummed earlier. I asked him what is was and he told me it was the song playing on the radio the day he first saw me “All Around Me” by Flyleaf. He never forgot that day he said when he saw me walking down the road I looked like something out of a fairytale and when he caught me looking at him and William he never felt happier. I looked up to his face and kissed him when the kiss broke he was blushing. “I never thought something like this could happen to me, finding someone like you someone different like me. I love you Hayden so much and I will never leave you.” “I love you too and I will hold you to that promise.” I laughed and rested my head on his chest. “Sounds like a plan. Hayden what do you think we should do, you know about living here?” I sat up and asked, “What do you mean?” then he sat up “Well I am suppose to be dead and William is not going to give up that easily.” “So are you saying we should run?” “Well not run just go somewhere we can live freely and I can walk around without people thinking I am a ghost.” “I don’t know…I mean I want to leave to but don’t you think that William will just track me down?” “He could I guess unless we cross running water vampires aren’t suppose to be able to do that.” “Sounds like a plan but where would we go? Where is there running water here?” “There is a river over the mountains, we could go there.” “Ok, but how? Do we just drop everything and skip town?” “Well we could pack what we could and leave a notice at the front desk.” “Ok but how are we going to leave? Someone could see you or better yet William could see you.” “Well I could leave during his bar hours and you could leave anytime.” “Ok when do we leave?” “Tonight.”
