Chapter Thirty-One

I told my grandmother as much as I could without mentioning that I knew about my family being vampires. I told her how much in love I had always been with Jayden and then cried helplessly when I told her he had broken up with me last night.

"And now I don't know what to do."

Grandma scoffed. "So, your mom wants you to marry that Duncan boy, huh? That sure sounds like her. Is there anything she doesn’t want to control?"

I sipped the coffee she had served me. It was my third cup, and I was starting to get jittery.

"I don't know what to do, Grandma."

She pulled me close, and I leaned my head on her shoulder. "Well, I don't know either, child. But I can tell you that your mother ought to have a little more compassion for your story since she went through something very similar back in her day."

"She did?"

"She sure did. I know because I was the one she ran to. I hadn't seen her in years when, suddenly, she tracked me down and stood outside my wagon one morning, suitcase in her hand. This was back many years ago, before the war…I mean the…Gulf War, of course. Back then, the circus was a big thing, and we had our own train carrying all of us artists, and there were almost a thousand people working for the circus and so many animals you wouldn't believe it…Anyway, I’m getting off track here…she came to me because Tatiana, the woman your granddad married after me, had found a man for her that she had to marry, but your mother wanted to be with someone else."

I lifted my head in surprise. "Really?"

"Yes. Don't be so surprised. Your mom was human once too…I mean she used to be…you know what I mean; she once had feelings too."

"And then what happened?" I asked.

"She didn't want to go back, so I let her stay with me for a few days, and then that guy came for her, the one she wanted to be with. I will never forget him. He came riding up on this beautiful horse—it was out in the countryside down south where cars weren't a big thing yet—and he had this long bushy hair and looked as handsome as anything I had seen. Your mother was head over heels in love with him; it was quite spectacular. They were going to run away together."

My grandmother sipped her coffee, then looked out the window. "Looks like your people are here. We should go to work."

"Not till you tell me the rest," I said. "What happened? The guy on the horse, was that my dad?"

My grandmother cleared her throat. "I'm sorry…maybe I shouldn't have…"

"No, no, please tell me. I insist."

"Well, the thing is…no, honey. Your grandfather came to take your mother home that same day, and she ended up marrying…your father."

My heart sank. "So, she had to give up on the love of her life? That must have devastated her? Why did she choose my dad?"

"Yeah…well, she turned eighteen, and she knew she had to grow up.
