THE LAST DAY AT MYSTERY HIGH SCHOOL - EPISODE 20

“My wedding what?”Sharon asked still not believing what her mother just told her

“Your wedding date Sharon, you will be getting married to Louis, the crown prince of…..”

“I know who Louis is! What I dont under stand here is why am suddenly getting married and to the crown prince of all people”She yelled at her mom.

“Keep your voice down young lady! Am your mom and I won’t have you shouting at me” Suzanne scolded her but Sharon was no longer listening to reason.

She was so angry, furious at her mom and any one else who have joined hands in this darn arrangement.

“Tell me why am getting married to Louis out of a blue”She asked this calming her self

“It had been arranged even before you two were born, an arranged marriage between you and the crown prince” Suzanne lied, hiding her hand behind her so Sharon wouldn’t notice her lies.

“But this is crazy! I was born in the city, I grew up in the city , how come such alliance was made even before I was born?”Sharon asked as she sat on her chair, trying to digest this.

“Berline town was your father home town, I visited here when I was still at college and we both fell in love and got married, Your father and the current king, Louis father were best of friends and so the rest you know”She said softly

“No! I don’t know it mom and I certainly don’t want to know it, I don’t want to marry Louis, am still young! I want to focus on my studies and……”
“You will keep on going to school but the only difference would be that you would be his wife and live with him at the palace”Suzanne said

“No! I still don’t want to, I don’t want to marry Louis mom”Sharon said

“You will have to! It’s the only way you can stay alive with out your powers consuming you “Suzanne said

“Oh that! My powers you say! What really am I? Am I a vampire, does the sign on your neck signifies that you are one too?”Sharon asked her mom who touched her neck.
“Yes, I am”she replied
“Was dad one too?”Sharon asked and she nodded too

“Why did you keep it hidden from me? How were you able to live the last eighteen years lying to me all my life”

“We left Berline, thinking we could keep every thing behind us but it turns out that we couldn’t, no matter what we do, where we go, our heart still lies here and when your father died, I decided to bring you back here”Suzanne said
“But that doesn’t justify me being a monster like you all,I was normal back in the city, how come am some one different now?”Sharon asked.
” That’s because……”Suzanne stopped her self before she bloat out the truth.

Gladys had made it clear to them all not to tell her any thing.
“It will all come back to her in due course but before then we must get them married and bound with each other for ever, that is the fate Louis had chosen for them both ”

Gladys word came back to her and she stopped at stared at her disturb daughter.

If she had known that some thing like this so happen, she would have never brought Sharon back to Berline town.

She knew that when Sharon clocked eighteen her powers will be shown to her and some where in her heart she had been hoping that a cure would come Soon and that Sharon would be saved but all that changed when Louis bit her turning her into a vampire.

“Answer me mom!”Sharon voice brought back Suzanne to earth

“That’s because it’s some thing you had to be, there was no escape from it , you are a descendant of a vampire and so you certainly will be one”She said

“I hate it mom! I hate being a part of this terrible world you have brought me into, I don’t want it, let’s just go back to the city,please!”She begged softly

“We can’t! It’s impossible Sharon”She said

“Why is it impossible?”

“Because…..because you have been bethroed to the prince and you are now part of them here, Berline is the only place people like us live in and so you need to adapt to it”Her mother said

“Never! I will never adapt to it and I certainly wouldn’t marry Louis”She said and ran out of the house not bothering to listen to her mother call.

She will be damned if she would marry Louis. Louis along with his family will hear her refusal personally, she thought as she began to run off.

While staying in the bus, she remembered some thing He said to her earlier

“Don’t hate me too much when you get to remember, I won’t want us fighting every day for the rest of our lives”

He knew already! He knew that they were going to get married, he knew and yet he kept quiet, what a jerk.

The bus stopped and with a direction from the driver, she walked a mile before getting to the palace..

Just starring at the out side got her feeling intimidated but then she gained back her courage.

She will not get married, she certainly wouldn’t get married, she thought as she began to head into the big wide gate only for some one to pull her back roughly

She turned to see a old woman starring at her.

“Where do you think you are going?”the old lady asked

“Who are you and why are you stopping me?”Sharon replied by asking her a question too

“You intend on cancelling the wedding right?”She asked suddenly and Sharon stared at her in surprise.

“How on earth do you…..”

“Come with me and you will find out how I know about that”She said and with out waiting for Sharon reply she pulled her into the luxurious car that was parked just a few walk away and as soon as they got in, the car drove off.

Sharon stared at the woman beside her and then at the man who was driving the car.

“Just who…..”

“A future princess never conduct a disscussion in the car, wait till we get home”the old lady said and Sharon found her self obeying.

The car stopped in front of a luxurious mansion,just like her luxurious car and they both went into house.

After minute of looking around, the lady invited her to the sitting room where the disscussion began.

“How did you know that I was heading there to cancel the wedding?”Sharon asked

“That’s because am a vampire, a old and wise one at that, I can tell just what you are thinking by looking at you, you wouldn’t have that power yet until you are my age”she said and Sharon found her self asking the old lady her age and was shocked when she named a number.

“Do vampire live that long?”Sharon asked

“Only those who want to but a bit of a warning, once an accident occur and he or she can’t seem to extricate them selves then he or she will die” she said

“Now that have answered your question? Answer mine!”The lady said.

For a while Sharon had been diverted from her purpose but the question the lady asked made her Remember it and that got her very, very angry .

“I have to go…I need to….”

“Sit down Sharon or else I will do some thing you wouldn’t like”The old lady threatned and Sharon say down

“You don’t under stand, am being forced to marry some one and I don’t want that?”Sharon said

“I was never like this, I was never a vampire but some how I found my self to be one and I was sick for a week, only for me to find out when I woke up that I will be marrying the crown prince”

“Other girls Will be dying for your position right now”the lady said

“I don’t care about them, I care about my self. Have been told that you use a ring to find your other half but that isn’t applying with me right now. Am being forced to a man who is not even my other half”She finished stiffly

“He is your other half, he made that possible him self “She said quickly

“How do you know that? “Sharon asked

“Because I witnessed it, I saw him making you his other half”she said and that got Sharon standing up

“Just who are you?”

“Me! I am Gladys, the former queen and Louis grand ma. Marriage to Louis is some thing that must happen not an option you will have to make Sharon”She said starring at her.

“You shouldn’t be siding with you grand son, were you forced to marry the former king? I won’t seat back and marry Some one my heart doesn’t desire, not you or any one will force me”She said as she turn to leave

“Then you leave us with no choice, your mom would have to pay the price for your stubbornness” Gladys said and that made Sharon stop

“What?” She turned to stare at the woman.

“Your mother gave her word to the king and if you refuse and make the crown prince look foolish, your mother would have to suffer the consequences,so am hoping that you rethink again” Gladys said.
