Dreaming of becoming a Vampire part 2

2

Once they have Kenzie back home, they laid her down to rest in her bed. While the rest of them set in the living room contemplating how they were going to tell Kenzie all the information they learned while she was being held captive. No one was sure how she was going to react to it. She has been through so much already that they didn’t want to over load her. After about an hour or so Kenzie woke up and wonder into the living room. She was surprised at all the people that was in her house.

“Hello everyone. Thank you for coming to get me I really do appreciate it. Adam, I know it’s been hard on you and I am sorry for seeming to cause you so much trouble. I just want you to know that I love you." Kenzie said with tears in her eyes.

“Kenzie it was no problem coming to get you, I would do it all again if I had to. I am just glad that you are safe and sound. Also, glad that I got to you before they transported you out. I love you to and can’t live without you." Adam said has he grabbed her and pulled her close to him.

“Who are you people and why did you crash my wedding?" Kenzie asked with some confusion in her voice.

“Kenzie you might want to sit down for this. We have a lot of information to give you. It is going to be a lot to take in and hard to believe. This group of people is the supernatural Council. Two of them are related to you and we will let them explain all of that." Haven said in a soothing voice.

“What do you mean two of them are related to me?" Asked Kenzie with some doubt.

“Hello Kenzie, it is nice to see you all grown-up. Please let me tell you everything before you interrupt me or ask any questions. I will explain everything to you, but if I can’t one of the others will be able too. My name is Scott Vandenberg and I am your grandfather who also happens to be a vampire. This gentleman here to my right is Dusty Wolfen he is a Wolf. He is also your grandfather. You were sent to be raised by another family because your parents were murdered. We never found out who did it, but we do have some idea. They were murdered for power and we were afraid they would come after you next. Do you understand everything so far?"

“Hello Scott, it is nice to meet you. I find this a little hard to believe. And I am wondering about some things. I have all of questions that need to be answered first. One does you have any proof of any of this? I find it hard that you would show up now when I had such a horrible childhood. And if all this you say is true then why can I not remember any of it? Where were all of you when I needed you? You show up when I am to be married and cause a distraction, so the hunters can grab me. That is what I think you are here for and you are trying to make me believe that we are related."

“I know you are upset and probably a little bit angry with us. What we are saying is true and yes, we have proof. You will need to travel to Italy to your homeland to see the proof. We did not expect to bring all of that with us not sure what we were walking into. But if you look into both of our eyes you will see your eyes are exactly like ours. Your eyes are deep greenish blue the mixture of our family’s green in your father's family of blue. Which are rare on both sides which is why we are of Royal blood." Scott tried to explain as easy as he could to her.

“You expect me to come with you to Italy just because you are the supernatural Council considering you may or may not be my grandfather. For one I have a business to run I cannot just leave it. My friends mean too much to me to leave behind. I also must redo my wedding. When do you think I will have the time to go to Italy if I believe any of this?" Kenzie shouted.

“Well your friends can come with you. Secondly you cannot get married right now since you are the Royal blood Adam must petition for your hand in marriage even though he is your true mate. There happens to be others who want your hand so there will be a competition for your hand in marriage. As for your business you will have to find someone to take care of it for you. There is no time to waste, we need to be on our way. Plus, Adam needs to get his petition in right away. The competition will be held very soon now that you are of age." Dusty explain in a hurry.

“Adam what do you think about all this? Matter of fact what did the rest of you think of this? Even if I do decide to do this I will need a few days to get things gathered but first I need to talk it over with everyone." Kenzie proclaimed.

“Kenzie you have to do this you need to be sure of what they are saying. I think I speak for all of us that we will follow you anywhere you decide to go. Now, one thing that I do have a problem with is having to petition to marry my true mate. And what kind of competition would there be?" Adam asked with some anger in her voice and a look that could kill on his face.

“We will talk about the competition when the time comes. Please talk among yourselves and make the right decision. I can only give you a couple of days before we must go. If you choose not to go at this time I will leave instructions on how you can get a hold of me. The others and I will have to come back and get you, if you do not come within that time frame. I do not want to have to force you to come." Scott said with authority.

“Kenzie let us go talk with the others in private. We can go over to my house and we can all talk there privately with no interruptions." Stated Adam.

Kenzie followed Adam with the others in tow. Once they got into Adam's house they all gathered in the living room. Everyone sat down but Kenzie she was pacing the floor.

“How can we believe anything they say? They brought no proof with them. Why would they all sudden turn up now and claim that they are my grandparents? None of this is making any sense to me." Kenzie was shouting and getting all worked up.

“Well maybe the only way to find the answer is to follow them to Italy. It seems to me that is at least where we need to start. We also may find out more about why the hunters are wanting you so much as well. Don’t you think so Adam?" Trent asked sounding so sleepy.

“In some ways I think you are right Trent. I am not quite sure if I trust them all. In a lot of ways, I must agree with Kenzie as well why turn now? We just have way too many questions and not enough answers. Italy could be a good place to start getting answers and we at least will be able to keep an eye on them." Adam was just getting worried and scared that they could be walking into a trap with all of this.

“Well I guess we will take a vote to see if we go to Italy or we stay here and go on like we always have. I think it is the only way to do this right." Sam said with some calm to his voice.

Kenzie got out some paper and tore it into pieces for each to write their vote on. They will either vote Italy or stay on the piece of paper. Then fold the paper up and throw it in a bowl so the vote can be counted. They all agreed no matter the outcome they would do it together. They all figured they started this together it might as well, end it altogether.

"I will count the votes since this started because of me. That we are only doing this because something else was thrown our way because of me. I do hate to ask you all to be a part of this anymore than you already are. So, if you want to back away I would understand." Kenzie said it all from her heart.

Kenzie grabbed the bowl with everybody's vote and walked to the dining room table. She counted the votes and got 10 votes to go to Italy and three to stay. She walked back into the living room to let everyone know the outcome.

“We have 10 to go and three to stay. So, looks like we’re going to Italy to get some answers. Adam would you be so kind to let the council know. Why I find someone to watch over the Café and to cover everyone shifts." Kenzie tried to pull herself together about what she could be bring to all the ones that she loves.

“Kenzie hang on a second. I want to address something that you said before you left to count the votes. I think I can speak for all or at least most of the group even thou I have not been a part of it long. None of us would back away from this since you have brought so much to all our lives. We stand with you through it all, because you are a big part of all of our lives.” Katie said with tears in her eyes when she walked up to Kenzie and gave her a hug.

“Thank you, Katie it means a lot, that you said it. I just wanted you all to have a choice.” Kenzie hugged her back, then walked off to take care of the café.

“Yes Kenzie, I will go now and take care of it. I will let them know that you are making arrangements for your Café and be back over to talk to them shortly." Adam said as he walked out the door.

Adam walked over to Kenzie’s house to talk with the supernatural councilmen. Kenzie was trying to get a hold of Casey and a few others about taking care of the Café while she will be gone for a few weeks. Once that was all taken care of Kenzie and the others walked back over to her house to have their talk with the councilmen. Kenzie wanted to get all this taken care of as soon as possible so she could get on with her life. She didn’t trust the councilmen, it all just seem to be so surreal to her. This was like a dream like state and she couldn’t wake up and she just wanted this to be over. Kenzie and the others arrived at her house and just walked through the door when they heard shouting coming from the living room.

“What the hell is going on in here? Why are you two yelling at each other?” Kenzie demanded to know. She looks over to see Adam laughing his ass off over the drama taking place in her living room. They all stopped and looked towards Kenzie when they heard her yelling.

They all had this dumb look on their face, but none wanted to come forward to tell her what was going on. Adam was trying to hold his laugher in but was failing miserably. Kenzie just glared at them all and waited to see who would come forth to tell her what was going on. Finally, Dusty stepped forward to talk to her.

“Kenzie please don’t get mad, but we were fighting over your future. I want the completion to take place where Scott thinks you should be allowed to go head and marry your mate, but I am not so sure that he is your mate since you have never met anyone else. I think you need to see what else is out there. Do you have any proof that he is your true mate?” Dusty tried to explain without hurting his granddaughter.

“Look Dusty, I know you mean well and all, but Adam is my true mate and I will marry him no matter what. I don’t care about this competition since I was not raised in your customs. I have dreamed of Adam and I feel the pull to him like no other. When I touch him I feel complete? You say I’m royal and all, but that doesn’t matter to me. Times change and it’s time you change with it. If you think I am going to let you take Adam away from me because of your old beliefs, then you better think again.” Calmly Kenzie said all this while walking over to Adam and sitting beside him and kissing his lips.

“Kenzie I can understand what you are saying but it is just not done that way. You have to stick to the old ways.” Dusty pleaded.

“No, I don’t. I will do as I see fit. You have no say since I was not raised with you or any of you. You left me to be raised by monsters, so you lost all right to have a say in my life. If you can’t stand with my choice, then you can leave and never return, and I will go right now and mate with Adam without a wedding ceremony. Have I made myself clear in this matter?” Kenzie shouted at Dusty and the rest of the councilmen.

“Kenzie, we understand and will stand by you. We don’t want to lose you now that we have you back into our lives. You are all we have left of our children. Please forgive us and still come with us to learn about who you are.” Scott interjected.

Kenzie looked at Scott and nodded her head at him. Then looked to her friend to give them a silent message to keep an eye on them closely. Then she looked at Scott jester for him to take a seat. When he sat the rest fallowed suite.

“We all have agreed to go with you to Italy, but know this Adam is mine I will marry him no matter what. That is nonnegotiable. We also think it is a good place to start in finding out why the hunters seem to want me so dam much. So, when do we leave?” Kenzie said as calmly as she could without biting anyone’s head off.

“The jet is standing by just waiting for to arrive, so we can take off.” Shane told everyone then sat back down and didn’t talk again.

“It seems we can leave now if everyone is packed and ready to go or we can wait till you are packed up and ready and we can meet you at the airport in an hour.” Scot said with some excitement.

“Well we will need to get packed up and get some small things done first. Then we can meet you at the airport in an hour.” Kenzie answered with a small smile on her face.

Everyone left to go do their thing, so they could get ready to leave for Italy. No one was sure what to except or how to pack for that. They were all on edge and trying to make sure that they don’t forget anything. The time came when they all had to meet the council at the airport. Everyone was quite on the way there. When they arrived, they were all shocked in seeing the jet. It was no normal size jet, it was much bigger. They all walked toward the jet and was met by Stacy the witch councilwoman.

“I know we have yet to really meet, but I would like to welcome you all. My name is Stacy and I am a witch, I just wanted to make sure you all understood that and to let you know that we are here to help not cause you more problems. They seem to think I am more of a level head person then the rest of them. So that is why I am meeting you before the others. Kenzie you will need to make sure you stay close to Adam and the rest stay close to your mates. We don’t know who all will be there to meet us when we land. Welcome aboard the night flight.” Stacy said with a smile on her face and showed them onto the jet.

They all fallowed her onto the jet as they each looked at each other before they did so. They all wondered what she meant about who would be there when they all landed in Italy. When they boarded the jet the saw the rest of the council in their seats waiting for them to take theirs. Kenzie and Adam took seats next to Scott and Dusty. The others set around close by in case Kenzie or Adam may need them for any reason. Once everyone was seated the jet started to take off. Once they were up in the air Kenzie looked at Dusty.

“Dusty I must know why you are so sure that Adam couldn’t be my mate? Or could there be another reason why you don’t wait him to be?” Kenzie asked with confusion in her voice.

“It’s not that I don’t want him to be, I find it hard to believe that you have found your one true mate just like that. It’s hard for most shifters to find their true mate and some never do. So, I have years of knowing that it is unlikely that he is your true mate. Yes, you tell me you show signs of him being your true mate, but he could really be your second runners up and not the first. You see you can have two, but only one will be a lot stronger feeling then the runners up. It is for good reason, in case something is to happen to your true mate your runners up can still clam you and provide for you. You won’t have the strong connection as with the first, but it will be there. I just want you to be sure that is all my dear.” Dusty tried to make her see that he was just trying to look out for her not hurt her.

“I can see your point Dusty. I just know my heart and what it is telling me. So, I am asking you to trust me that Adam is my one and only.”

“I guess I have no choice in the matter.” He looked off with sadness in his eyes.

No one said anything after that. Everyone was doing a lot of thinking and trying to figure out their next move. They have been in the air for a few hours when Adam had a question for Scott.

“Scott if you care for her so much why are you just now trying to come for her?” Adam asked.

“We didn’t think it would be good to come if she was safe and no one new about her. We are not sure how the hunters found out about her and where she was.” Scott answered.

That gave everyone pause. They all started to wonder how that information got out and who was the one who told the hunters. No, one was sure and not one of them wanted to point a figure at anyone till they had sold proof. The one thing that they all was sure on sooner or later that person would try again or screw up, so they would have a better idea who it was. Everyone was on alter and on edge.

“I know no one wants to say this but, I believe it was Tammy who found out about you and told the hunters. I’m not sure how and I don’t have proof, but there was motive on her behalf if she did.” Scott let everyone know his thoughts.

“I know your right Scott, but I am hoping that your wrong. I don’t know how I could handle if my oldest daughter was still dealing in black magic, so she could gain the throne.” Dusty acknowledged with a sad look on his face.

“I have to ask since I’m new to all of this. How is it my mother became ruler over her older sister? Always thought it was the oldest born got the throne.” Kenzie asked no one in general.

She didn’t think anyone was going to speak up till Dusty started to speak. “Well your mother got it because the people voted for her. We tried to do the diplomatic thing like the humans would do. It did well except your Aunt didn’t take the lose so well. She though doing things under handed and trying to keep people doing things the old ways she would win no matter how evil she was to people. Your mother believed in growth and love. She wanted what was best for everyone and she was loved by almost everyone. Her down fall was she wanted to see the good in her sister no matter what. It looks like it cost her everything as well as for me.” No, one knew what to say after that. It just gave everyone more to think about and more to worry about.

Kenzie thought everyone needed some food and coffee or something. She just needed something to do or she was going to go crazy. So, she got up and went to the kitchen to start making food for everyone. Then others started coming in and helping her. She guessed everyone needed a distraction just like she did. Once all the food and stuff were done they all set around to eat and just relax for the rest of the afternoon. Then just for some fun they started to play a game just to help with all the stress that was going on.

There was a loud noise outside and that made everyone pause. They got up and went outside to see what it was. No one could believe their eyes to what they were looking at. One of the cars was on fire with a message on the ground. Adam read it out loud. “No one can protect her. I will have her powers and the throne, and no one will stand in my way.”

They all could tell black magic was used to do this. It smelled of evil and rot. Now they new for sure it was Kenzie’s Aunt Tammy that was behind this. Now it’s time to come up with a game plan and how to find her and stop her before she goes any further with this. Everyone was scared and not sure where to start. Kenzie really didn’t want to hurt her Aunt, but it was starting to look like she wouldn’t have a choice. She was going to have to fight her aunt and save everyone. Which means she was going to have to find help and find someone that could help train her to use these powers that she has. How would I do that she thought to herself.

All the men started to put out the fires and clean up the mess for some humans could get involved with it all. They wanted to still try and protect them at all cost, just none of them was sure how at this point. Once everything was taken care of they all came back inside, they needed to figure out the next plan of action. They couldn’t let this keep happening because the humans will take notice soon. They still needed to keep their secret even if they lived among the humans.

Kenzie speaks up, “I think we need to find someone who can start training me to use my magic. Then we will at least have a leg up on her and she won’t know that I have learned how to use my magic. Plus, I think we need to start finding some alliances to help us.”

“Kenzie has a point. If she learns how to use her magic she will be a force to reckon with. Plus, any alliances we make is a good thing in the long run.” Scott says agreeing with Kenzie

“While we are adding it we should get a hold of the royal Council of the Super Naturals. They are going to want to know about this and may want to help as well.” Dusty piped in.

“No one knows who all on the super natural council is.” Trent said out loud

“Yes, we do. Because we are part of it. So, we will have a meeting and you all will have to show when the time comes.” Scott announced.

“Wait, one second here. Who is the Royal Council of Super Naturals? Why would we have to talk to them? Plus, you’re just saying this now?” Kenzie fired off these questions at Scott and Dusty.

They all looked shocked that Kenzie would have an outburst like that. You could hear a pin drop until Sam and Trent started laughing. Then the room started laughing because no one could believe she had it in her to be loud or mad.

“We didn’t think it would come to this, so we were going to wait till we had some time to get to know you better Kenzie. It’s been a long time and we wanted time with our granddaughter. So that is why we didn’t say anything right away. Please for give us.” Said as Dusty spoke to her.

She thought about it for a while and then she shook her head and they all hugged and sat down to finish their talk about where to start first. So, they were making a list of what needed to get down and then they were going to break up into groups to try and get more done at a faster rate. No one was sure if they were being watched but they just figured it would be best to play it as if they were being watched and try not to give any information way or details to their plan.

It was getting late and everyone went home and said they would meet at the café in the morning to get started on the list and the groups. Once everyone left Kenzie and Adam went to be for the night. They held each other till they both fell asleep.
