“Well have you had someone's family, the person who your supposed to marry, technically poison someone you love?”
“Talking about one of your family, I presume.” She said nothing. “No. I haven't. No one knows about our allergy so to speak. I probably shouldn't have even told you, but you seem trustworthy.”
“Speaking like a true Chide, we prefer not to share our deep, dark secrets until we are sure about their trustworthy quality.”
“Well, I'm pretty sure about you.” He looked in her eyes. They heard a knock from behind them. “We're close?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Get ready.” Jake leaned in close to Kaylee again.
“He had better not try to take you from me. I won't be afraid to tell him our secret. He better become unsure fast.”
“He's clearly just trying, Jake.”
“That's the point, he's trying. He will try and he will succeed.”
“I forgot one thing when I was mentioning things about us vampires. We don't fall in love easily and when we do, we never unlove, unless we make love to someone else. We must be virgins and when we fall in love it's forever, because we normally consecrate it right after.”
“That's good.” He turned to Kaylee and smiled. He whispered in her ear again. “No one, but me is taking your virtue, I made that promise, I intend to keep it.”
“Our hearing is no better than a normal human's, though. So, I wish you would stop whispering.”
“If wishes were horses, prince.”
“Can't we get over this hostility, the pr...your aggravating.” Jakob laughed.
“Prince, I don't have the ability to read minds, but I don't need it to know you were thinking of Lanie, and how she accepts you for you. She wasn't afraid, was she? The first time she met you?”
“Of course she wasn't. She knew we vampires aren't stone-cold killers.”
“That's my girl. I thought you were going to get under my skin, because she said you loved her, but the truth is I shouldn't be jealous of you. Lanie loves me more. She always will. She told me I should come, I listened for her.” Michael leaped out of his seat and hit Jakob in the jaw.
“I admit it, okay. I love her, and if you love her, too, I am going to have to fight for her. I will.”
“Despite your date with princess Kaylee?” Jake asked.
“I am really, truly sorry, but I love your sister, Kaylee.” Jakob laughed.
“Then let's have a fantastic dinner.”
“What is going on?” Michael demanded.
“I don't love Lanie. I had to get you to admit your feelings for her so I could tell the king. He won't make you marry Kaylee.”
“No! You can't tell king Tyson.”
“Why not, you can't possibly believe you can go on with this charade?”
“I do, I can, and I will. If not for me, for Lanie. I must do this for her. My family won't let me marry just any princess, I must marry the one who will deliver the crown. By not love, by duty. By love of Lanie, I myself cannot love Kaylee until our wedding night. Truth is, I wish I had met Lanie when our family was feuding. I could've loved her and, my parents can't separate us when we have done the dirty deed. That's one more thing-we cannot harm our own kind. We cannot make a vampire marry someone else, when they have already found the one.”
“Just do it now! Kaylee get out of the car. You make it back to her and you love her. You do this so Kaylee can find love, with someone who can love her, right!”
“You're right, Jakob. I will, tonight, but be warned, I have brothers.”
“Who cannot touch Kaylee if you marry Lanie. They will be like brother and sister.”
“I will.” Jakob got out of the car and ushered Kaylee inside the restaurant, he heard the door shut behind him and drive away.
Playing
It wasn't until Jakob and Kaylee got inside that they realized what it looked like. They looked like a couple. They sat down across from eachother.
“Lizzie?! Is that you?” Kaylee cursed under breath.
“Kyle! Oh! It's been a while.” Jakob held his breath when she stood up and hugged him. He got up from his seat and shook his hand.
“Kyle, what a pleasure.” Jake smiled an earnestly happy smile.
“I bet.” Kyle growled.
“It is. If I had seen you around the castle, I would have told you the good news.”
“What good news?” Kyle asked suspiciously.
“Lizzie and I have made it official.”
“Have you, now?”
“Yes, her and I are a couple now.”
“That's great for you two.”
“It is, and I hope you will find someone who makes you as happy as Lizzie makes me.”
“Oh, Jake. Stop pretending, I don't need it anymore. My name is Kaylee Marie Chide. I am princess of Kafke. Jake is merely here to keep me company while my arranged husband runs errands, Jake is also my guard and trusted friend.”
“I never would have guessed.” Kyle sat down.
“I know. Before I had an arranged husband, I was trying to have a normal life, but I couldn't. Jake tried to protect me from having to let a loved one go, when I was destined to marry another.”
“I-I see. Jake-it's really Jake, right?”
“Yes. My real name is Jakob.”
“Well, Jakob, can I have a word with you?” Jake looked confused.
“Yes. I suppose.” They walked outside. “What did you want?”
“I know you love her. I just wanted to say, I'm sorry. That can't feel pleasant.”
“You know? I...I-I-I don't...we're just...I'm just her...soldier, I don't...love her.” He stammered.
“If that's what your trying to pull, you should hide it better. She loves you, too, but she's bound by duty, I'm real sorry.”
“I underestimated you, Kyle. I do love her, she loves me back, but she's trying not to have anymore duties to her country. Her arranged husband loves someone else, too. That's where he is, right now. She is trying to make us an actual couple. I thought she was actually falling in love with you, that date. I have never been more afraid, than I was in that moment. I actually...um...bought a ring. I was going to propose to her tonight. So no one else can have her.”
“Wait. They have a camera here, let me get a picture for them to put in the paper, then take her out here and propose in the moonlight of the full moon.”
“What?”
“It's going to be a full moon, tonight.” Jake's heart fell. His breath kicked out of him. He couldn't make his feet run like he wanted them to. Luckily his lips could move.
“Get that picture, fast, then get Kaylee out here.” Kyle frowned, then went inside. Minutes later, Kaylee came out.
“Jake? Jake, what's wrong?
“Kaye, we have to leave.”
“What? Why?”
“They didn't check the moon phase for tonight.”
“Jake, is this a precaution?”
“No. It's going to be a full moon in thirty minutes. We have to get back to the castle.” They ran as fast as they could, but Jake kept having to stop. The full moon was affecting him again. He didn't make it to the castle in time. He heard voices, he didn't know how long they had been going, but he couldn't make out who they were, or where they came from.
“Will! He's been out so long.”
“Kaylee, it has been two months, yet. Give it time. Keep talking to him, maybe he'll recognize your voice and wake up to kiss the lips making the sound.”
Jake's dream took him far into the reaches of the castle. To the hole in the wall, and then he was running, but the walls were different. They seemed to be darker, the lamps hardly illuminated them. He couldn't tell where he was, until he heard voices. It was Kaylee and Will's.
“Jake your going to have to wake up soon. Will is seeming hard to resist.” He followed the voices to find Kaylee's room. He stepped inside and found Kaylee and Will kissing.
“What are you doing!” Jake ripped Will from her.
“What you never could. You were afraid, I” He shook his head. “I'm never afraid. Her father approved, me and her are getting married. I am taking what you held back from her.” As he said this, Will ripped Kaylee's shirt from her.
“Ooh, so sexy. You will be a very nice werewolf when we get married.” She bit her lip and leaned up and kissed him. Will threw his shirt off.
“Will! We are best friends.”
“Jake, you practically allowed this to happen. You let me watch her, alone, at night, oh, the things I would do.” Jake went to hit him in the face, but he dissipated. Jake stood dumbfounded, then he heard another voice behind him.
“Hey, Jake. I figure you have found out about the wedding. Well, since me and Will have really had a chance to get to know eachother, I don't need you as a son anymore. So your moving out of the castle. Oh, hey, cheer up, now you'll be with that Taylor girl.” Mitchell smiled. Jake turned, he looked at the bed, Will and Kaylee were there, Kaylee's shirt layed at the end, along with Will's shirt. Then he turned he couldn't watch it. Soon he heard crying, a baby's crying. He turned around and found a crib. He walked over and peered inside, he found a little girl. He looked around, no one was there. He picked up the girl and looked into the eyes. The changing eyes. She stopped crying the moment she saw him. Then he heard voices shouting “He's got the baby in here!” the he felt a sharp pain his back.
“Jake, why did you do it? My poor Mia.” Kaylee picked up the little girl. Then she ran over to Will's arms and they cuddled the baby together. Jake couldn't see anymore, he couldn't feel anymore, he felt perfect. There was no pain, but also no love. He wished to have it back. He didn't do it for Kaylee, or Will, or his father. He came back for Mia, who obviously, saw past his wrongs. He opened his eyes and was blinded by so much light.
“Jake? It's been six months. He's awake!” Will yelled.
“Don't tell her I am awake, yet. Please, Will, I need to talk to you, alone.” Jake shut his eyes as the door slammed open.
“I'm so sorry, Kaylee, I saw him move and his eyes twitched...I really believed he was awake. Forgive me?”
“Of course, I can't stay mad at you.” She touched his lips lightly.
“Um, Kaylee, I don't want to take chances with...I mean if he woke up and he saw what we just did, it could send him back.”
“Your right. Oh, damn it! Jake if you can hear me...please come back. I need you. Jake your going to have to wake up soon.
