Jade wasn’t sure how she felt about what her mother was saying, she wasn’t sure she could muster up the courage and tell her to stop talking like she was. She stood there, listening, the anger was building.        “You feel that way about your only daughter Rachel?” Jayden pressed on.          “Yes, she only survived that accident because of you, she would have died in the woods if you weren’t there.” She snapped. “I wish you would have stayed away that night, you see Gage was there to make sure the accident happened.” She continued. “I was already on my way to becoming one of them, Jade was the blood sacrifice that was needed, but of course you stopped that, now I had to figure out another way around this, you see. So now she had to become one with them, well half of them. I brought up the Queen to them, they thought it wasn’t possible to bring her out if this fails I die and s

              Gage looked at Jade but she didn’t say anything, he wasn’t sure if she knew what happened downstairs. Rachel paced around the office like a crazy person, she glanced at Jade a few times.            “Are you sure it was the Queen?” Rachel said looking at Gage.             “Can anyone else make vampires just disappear?” Gage mused. “I know I can’t, Jade can’t.”             “Hm,” Jade said bringing her attention to the conversation. “What is going on, what are you two talking about?”                 “You’re telling me you have no idea what happened downstairs Jade?” Rachel said grabbing her by the arm. “Your father is gone!” he snapped throwing her back in the

               Jade watched Gage get the bath ready, she wanted to soak, she was ready to just lay there and let everything work itself out.             “Alright are you ready for your bath?” he said coming out of the bathroom. “I will come and get you when your bath is ready.” He said smiling.               “Yeah.” She said getting up. “Thanks for running this bath for me, you know I need this.”              Gage didn’t stick around, Jade took off her clothes and climbed into the bath. The water was hot just the way she liked it. She laid her head back and closed her eyes. She replayed things that had happened. She thought about the accident and everything that happened before that. Sadly she couldn’t remember anything. She wondered if it was because of the

                Jade needed a plan, she didn’t want to go with them to their realm, she still wanted to get out of there before they made her go. She finished her food and washed the dishes that were left. Rachel stood by the window she didn’t follow Jade out of the kitchen.            Jade walked around the castle looking for a way out. She decided to try down in the cellar since there were no more prisoners down there, Gage and his gang hadn’t been down there in a while, so she thought maybe there was a way out down there.        Walking past where Jayden was kept, there was a big door it was closed, Jade used all her strength she was barely able to open it, looking inside it was dark. She wasn’t sure if she should go down there, walking back upstairs she grabbed one of the torches and headed back down and into the dark hallway.      &n

               Rachel’s face turned bright red, she was embarrassed. “I missed this side of you mom,” Jade said getting up and hugging Rachel. “I don’t know why we couldn’t be like this more often. I wish you never lost yourself in the years leading up to this.”               “Me either, I am sorry Jade.” Rachel said hugging her tighter. “I hope that we can repair our damaged relationship.”              “I think we will be able to Mom.” She said moving away from her. “Besides you are going to be a grandma, and you better spoil this little guy.”            “Oh you know I plan to.”           “Jade.” The Queen came into her head. “I’d suggest you get a dagger.”          “Why?” she inquired.             “They are not planning on tak
