I have known to be someone that is very emotionally mature. He is always the bigger person and always chooses to do things for the best of his people and others. He did not have to forgive Julia or give her another chance, but he did, which is what I’m grateful for.“Thank you so much, I promise I will not let you guys down.” Julia was happy. She finally joined us at the dining table and everyone who was standing sat down. We enjoyed the food and though there was a bit of awkwardness in the air, it was actually better than I expected it to go.But introducing Julia and getting them to trust her was just one of the hardest things that needed to be done. She had to tell them her plan about going to a town that is pretty much a fairy tale because no one has seen it before. After dinner, Julia made her presentation. She reminded them of her parents and what had happened to them. She reminded them of why she was a hybrid. “They killed my mother. And she was a demon. They killed one of ou

We all watched Julia in awe, waiting for her to tell us that she was joking. What did she mean that she could not sense the town? We were literally hours away from the Demon Territory, in the middle of nowhere. One of the main reasons that we were even here was because she said that she could find the town.“Are you sure?” Zayn asked her, and she looked nervous. Zayn chuckled dryly and then spoke, “Julia. You don’t have a great relationship with us and we have butted heads over and over, but we trust your abilities to get things done when you said that you are going to.”“Uh, yeah.” Bunny joined the conversation. “We may not trust you, Julia, but we trust what you can do. So I think you just need to take a deep breath and start from the top. That sounds good to you?”Julia seemed taken aback to have gotten a pep talk from Bunny. She knew that Bunny did not like her and was still pissed that she had almost killed her in the past, so this meant a lot to her.“Yeah, they’re right.” Azul

I could tell that Zayn was triggered a bit by Jacob’s refusal to publicize what was done to Julia’s parents. He chuckled and then rub his hand over his face. “You know how this looks, right?” He asked.“No, enlighten me,” Jacob smirked. “You not agreeing to make this whole matter public when years have passed proves to me that something is not right; that you did something you were ashamed of.”“Or…I just don’t want to do so. And what’s the point of doing it anyway? Her parents are dead and they are coming back.” Jacob said this as he looked at Julia.Julia snapped and we had to pull her away from the vampire king or she would have done something that we would all have regretted. “Get them out,” Jacob ordered his guards calmly but we did not wait for that to happen because we walked ourselves out. “I don't know about you all but I’m not going to take crap from a leader that is way too young and looks like he is wearing makeup,” Bunny’s voice captured our attention as we walked out

Zayn and I then left the penthouse and we found ourselves outside of the building. Azula was the first to meet up with us, then the next was Bunny and Hamish. I honestly expected Julia to be the first person to meet up with us because this was what she wanted from the start, but that was the opposite.“I’m so sorry guys that I’m late. I woke up late because I was up all night studying all there is to know about vampires.” Julia informed us. “That’s okay, Julia. At least you were doing something productive. Hamish was up all night watching cartoons,” Bunny told us, and Hamish playfully punched her shoulder.“Aww, you still watch cartoons?” I asked him as guards brought us our horses. And everyone chuckled. “Yeah, I do,” Hamish replied proudly but his face was red and flushed. “Which one?” Julia asked, joining the fun. “Any kind!” Hamish replied, and we all laughed.“Guys, let’s leave Hamish alone. It’s not like he is the only one that watches cartoons. Lara does too.” Zayn chirped

We all waited for the guard to tell us what he knew. He was sitting on one of the couches and we surrounded him. He had a look on his face, one of nervousness and relief. “I knew your parents.” He looked at Julia. “Your mom looked just like you. She was a very bubbly and lovely person.” “Okay…” Julia dragged the word. She was waiting for the man to give more information. “Why and how were they killed?”“Come on, Julia. You know the answers to those questions, and you were reminded of them by Jacob.” Zayn joined the conversation. “He knows more than the information available to the public,” Julia spoke for the man. She then stared at him and asked, “Isn’t that true?”“Yes, she is right.” The guard replied. He had an accent, but mostly everyone here had one. They spoke English but they had distinct pronunciations. “First of all, there is limited to no information about what happened to Martha and her husband. No one outside the social circle of the king knows about it. And the ones
