“We get some clues” dad said. “But it’s not enough. We will follow them. Alicia and Celine are come with us. Jason and his team will patrol around” Mom look at us. “You have to stay here. And watch for Vivian”

I stare at my mother in shock.

“Vivian, you have to understand that this situation is worse than we thought”

“I know mom, you know that.”

Others agree with mom and dad.

I followed them to the basement. I will not forgive myself if something bad happens with them. Dad reached my shoulder.

“We’ll come back I promised” dad confirmed. I watched them walk away.

Simon stood up against the wall.

I walked up to bedroom.

Max plays the phone and Simon is in his room.

My phone rings.

“Vivian?”

“How do you know my number?”

“I hacked your sister’s phone”

I look at Clarice and stood up slowly.

No conversation between us. “You must know that we didn’t break the peace agreement”

“You don’t want to be a vampire queen?”

“No way and never. I’m just a daughter in the Dumont family, just that. It’s became a war because the silly prophecy and I didn’t want to cause my family to be danger like this. If you want to kill me. Why don’t you kill me in my house? It’s your job, isn’t it?”

“I just want to avenge those who killed my father”

The doorbell is ringing. James and Max went to open the door. “Nicole” I’m surprised. “What are you doing here?” I ask.

“I was ordered to come here?”

“But our parents don’t live here now” I told.

“I know” she answered. “Queen Jennifer wants to meet Vivian”

“I don’t want to see her”

“You have no right to refuse”

“Why did she want to meet me?”

“You know why”

“Why did Queen Jennifer send you here?” James stared at Nicole.

“Queen Jennifer is not the only one who want to see Vivian and Queen Naomi want to see her too”

“Hell!” my eyes widen.

“Vivian will not go anywhere” Simon added. “It’s too risky for her to go outside right now”

Nicole turned to Simon. “You know it’s not a request”

“Hell” James murmured.

“I don’t want her crown” I say and I hate stories about prophecy and vampire usurpation. I never want to be a queen.
