CHAPTER TEN
Sunday, January 19th, 2014
Well I’m back again. I was talking with mom over dinner about my trip to Britain in the summer of 2011 and she confessed that while I was here she was in Chicago at the Kings’ place where she met Elizabeth and Melanie. Dad as I recall, was in LA for about a week, Elizabeth sent him there on business and then booked him into a regional business conference in Aspen, Colorado. Mom had been living in Brazil and was preparing to come out of retirement and, as is the custom in the vampire world, was scouting out the neighborhood to discuss her coming out. Up until tonight I was only vaguely aware that it had been some time in the planning but mom said it had been planned from the moment she went into retirement back in 2003.
“We just had to find a way to integrate you into the vampire world without causing too much of a crisis. Your father was also discussed but both Elizabeth and Morganna thought that I should focus on outing myself to you first and leave John for a later date. Considering the fact they’d been involved in both your lives and because you were about to enter college, they thought if I was going to come out it should be sooner rather than later.”
When my stepmom’s plane went down a part of me died, Cat was my world. In her place she left us to her friends, the Grey Ravens. Over the years I slowly came to realise her death was a mere facade. When we were reunited I learned the truth about Clan Grey Raven and her remarkable history. Some people will always love. Some people never lose hope. Some people never die…SmashwordsAmazon.comAmazon UK
