I shifted uncomfortably on the couch. Luke was looking at me, staring at me. He was sitting opposite me, not even bothering to hide that he was staring. I am sure the others noticed it too but didn't say anything, or maybe it was just me being paranoid.

We were waiting for Kyle and Britney. Betty got there few minutes ago with Sherry, they were the ones who made us break our make out session and although I was sad that it ended, I was thankful that we didn't have a chance to talk after. I didn't know what to say. Or maybe I would want more than just that if we had more time, the thought scared me. That was no time for that.

"Why is Kyle not here yet?" I asked Betty, I didn't bother with Britney. I was hoping she wasn't coming anyway as she will just stick herself beside Luke all the time. 'Jealous much?' The voice inside me asked. 'No way' I internally answered myself 'It's just that I hate PdA's', I convinced myself. 'Oh really?' I heard the small voice again but I ignored it.

"I don't know, I haven't been able to get a hold of him since earlier, last I talked to him he said he was confirming something then he will come straight here," Betty answered.

Sherry walked in with sliced fruits on a plate, "Want some?" she asked us.

"No, I ate earlier." I answered and then I remembered what happened after that, I felt the heat rising on my cheeks.

"What is wrong with you?" Sherry asked me inspecting me suspiciously. Betty quickly turned to look at me.

"You're blushing," she pointed out, embarrassing me in the process. Thanks Betty.

"Wait, did something happen between you two before we walked in?" she questioned us, looking between me and Luke.

"Yeah, it did. Speaking of which, what a great timing you two have!" Luke answered nonchalantly and I immediately choked on my saliva.

"What are you talking about, nothing happened," I quickly denied while coughing heavily. Betty laughed at me, giving me a knowing look before she went on to pat my back.

"Oh...I really feel nothing. Luke texted to tell us earlier but I didn't really think it was true," Betty told me and I was thankful for a change of topic.

"What do you take me for? Why would I lie about it?" Luke scowled at her.

"So, to commemorate it you had a little..." she trailed off wigling her eyebrows and giving him suggestive looks.

I facepalmed myself 'we're back at it again' I sighed. Luke just smirked at that.

"It's not what you think!" I scowled at them.

"Oh really? I was thinking you had a few drinks to commemorate it but if it's not what I am thinking then..?" she insinuated, scratching her chin for a dramatic effect. I gave her a threatening look but she just ignored it and went on to high-five with Sherry.

"You remembered to use protection, right? We don't want little Luke and Kayla running around before even finishing high school now, do we?" my jaw dropped hearing her saying that. At that moment I wanted the ground to open itself and swallow me whole but seeing that was not happening sooner or later I opted to tackle her down in a lock to shut her up. I heard Sherry and Luke laughing at us.

We heard the door bell ringing. Sherry stood up and went to open the door. Few minutes later she returned with Kyle and Britney. I released Betty.

"Why are you two coming together?" Betty questioned. That was so Betty like, she likes to always make clear what is hers and she has no problem demanding for answers right there if something doesn't sit right with her.

"We are not coming together. We just met while getting on the elevator," Kyle being the sweet guy he is, he quickly answered her girlfriend. Betty nodded in satisfaction. Kyle fist bumped Luke before sitting beside Betty who was sitting on the same sofa with me. So now Betty was sandwiched between us. Britney took a small stool and scooted herself beside Luke as usual, Luke scowled at that.

I then noticed Britney no longer had a cast on. I wanted to ask her but then I remembered she is a vampire, they heal faster than humans.

"I think we have a problem!" Kyle announced without wasting time and we all turned to look at him.

He continued after seeing that he had all of our attention "You remember the guy I went to look for information last time? He was attacked and interrogated if there was any witch in town he knows of, I don't know how but they found out there's a witch here. He told them that I came to ask the same thing a while back and now they are on their way here to look for me."

"What!!" Betty exclaimed.

"I know how they found out there's a witch here," I told them and all eyes shifted to me immediately.

"How?" Kyle asked.

"I found out who the fifth attacker that day was, she was a witch Bethany. She was the one who let those vampire and werewolves in our house, she then put a spell so that if anyone uses magic in that house she will sense it," I explained.

"Is that why you rushed us out of the house?" Luke asked me and I nodded.

"If it's Bethany then there's a high chance Logan and his crew are the one who attacked you parents that day," Luke told us.

"Who is Logan?" I asked. Betty and Sherry had the same questioning look as me but the rest nodded in agreement to Luke's statement.

"He is a vampire. Bethany and him are kind of let's say past lovers or so. I haven't met Bethany in person but I know the crew, they once came to my father's party, there's no vampire who haven't heard about them," Luke answered.

"True. They have a history of being violent, powerful and rude. They can do anthing to anyone getting in their way," Britney added.

"The crew is of four in total minus the witch. The four of them have always been buddies from long time ago. They always have each other's back. First there's the vampires Logan their leader and her side bitch Jenner and then the werewolves, they are siblings, Sebastian and Liz," Kyle said, looking at Betty when he was saying the last part. Betty's eyes widened. She looked shocked.

"What's going on? Betty are you okay?" I asked her taking her hand in mine. She nodded.

"There's no need to worry, it might be not them. We still haven't confirmed that," Kyle told her, patting her back. Betty still looked worried, she was sweating and looked a bit out of breath. Kyle quickly took a glass of water and made her drink it.

"Can someone please explain what is going on?" Britney asked and for once I was in agreement with her, I nodded at that.

"Sebastian is Betty's Dad. That's what is going on," Luke answered.

"What??" I exclaimed looking at Betty and Kyle for confirmation. They nodded.

"He is right. Betty had me look for his father a while ago and that's when we found out that Sebastian is her father," Kyle explained.

"Betty...I am so sorry," I told her while hugging her.

"It's okay. It's not like he knows about me anyway or It's not like he was there for me. I have never once considered him as my father so it's fine," Betty said but I knew she was hurting.

"Leave alone Sebastian being Betty's father as the second obstacle. The first one is we have no power to fight them. They are so powerful, there's no way to take them. It's suicide," Britney said.

"Then what? We can't just sit and let them take Kayla. They will kill her when they find her, there's no way they would let her live," Sherry exclaimed.

"There will be a way, we will have to find a way. There's no way I am letting that happen," Luke said angrily.

"You guys don't worry about me. I'll be fine, just find a way to defeat them," Betty told us with a sad smile.

"If we have to find a way then we have to do it faster. If it's really Logan and his buddies then they will find us soon. They won't rest untill they find her and kill her, like what they did to her parents," Kyle said.

"I need some air, I'll be back in a minute. You guys go on," Betty suddenly announced and quickly walked out to the balcony area.

Kyle wanted to go after her but I held his hand to stop him. "Can I talk to her first?" I pleaded.

"Oh okay, no problem. Go ahead. Meanwhile I'll find out who are the guys that attacked the informant. If it's really Logan and his crew," he told me. I nodded and went after Betty.

She was standing there, looking at the sky. Betty used to love star gazing, she said they made her feel calm. She would drag me and Sherry to go gaze at the night sky most of the time. I approached her and looked up at the night sky beside her.

"Do you remember that time you broke up with that first guy you dated, when you came to my house in the middle of the night demanding that you wanted to star gaze," I asked her.

"Oh I remember...That dork. I don't even know what I saw in him back then," she said laughing at the memory.

"You were so crazy about him back then.There were so many times that I wanted to smack you on the face very hard so that you can come back to your senses," I laughed.

"You should have, it was a waste of my days" she said.

"You think I did nothing?" I asked her with a grin. She looked at me questioningly.

"The day before you two broke up I went to him and threatened him that he better dump you if he is just playing with you. I told him if he makes you cry even once I would chop off his balls," I told her.

"What?" she laughed at that "How come I didn't know of this untill today? How come you're only telling me now?"

"I was afraid you would blame me for the break-up but I knew that was the right thing to do for you back then and if he really loved you he wouldn't have broke up with you. I was planning to tell you later on when you're over him. But you met Kyle and you were so happy, you totally forgot about him and I too forgot to mention it and here we are," I explained to her.

She murmured a small thank you with a smile before she went back to look at the stars. I did the same too.

"I wish that I could just sleep and wake up the next morning to only realize all these were just a dream, a very bad dream. That I would go back to the time that the only hard choices we had to make was who is the right guy for us," I said.

"I know right," she told me.

"What a bad fate we have!" I sadly told her, looking at her with a half smile. She turned to look at me and smiled similarly.

"I know right," she said again.

"But you know what, it's clear. My choice is clear," She added.

"What choice?" I asked her.

"If I have to choose between you two. It will always be you, always," she said and I smiled sadly at that. Why would a person have to choose between her father and her best friend? What kind of a fate is that!?

"You have always been beside me, you are more than a friend to me. You're a sister. I always find comfort with you. He has never been beside me even once. He never cared about us, he never looked for mom. Mom went through a lot to raise me alone," she added.

"But still-"

"No but. There's no way I would let him kill you, after what he took from you. After destroying you, taking your family away from you. There's no way I would let him do that again. I'll stop him myself If I have to, If I can," she told me, taking my hand in hers.

I quickly pulled her in a tight hug. I could here her sob on my shoulder and I couldn't help anymore, I sobbed together with her.

"Everything will be okay," she assured me.
