Transcendence • Chapter 9
(Tristan's perp)

I headed to Lucius' room in the basement in the castle. There were some things he needed to know before Elissa did.

Secrets that I thought had died with 'Issy' and can no longer be kept secret.

As I went into the basement him and Kate were arguing about Lucius protecting with untold truths.

"Tristan, you're back early. Aren't you suppose to be with Elissa?" Lucius said

"Kate do you mind if you leave me and Lucius have to talk " I asked as nicely I could.

"Whatever you need to say Lucius you can say to me" Kate said

"What's the matter?" Lucius asked

Kate looks at me like she sees worry in my eyes.

Lucius can hear my heart beating fast it only happens when guilty.
He is leaning against a table with his arms crossed waiting for me to spit out what I have to say.

"I have done A lot of bad things in my past and I'm still trying to forget it. I think Elissa's is in danger because of my past "

Lucius and Kate looked at me angered.

"What did you do, boy"

Ten minutes later

"When My aunt saw that I was getting beaten by my father she saw to it that I was kept in her protection . I've lived at the Academy as long as I could remember. I was young and reckless as a vampire. Had a lot of human girlfriends from outside the academy. Most of them were just my blood bags. Then I met Issy . She had also went to the Academy sent here by her father. I didn't really know much about her. She was different . We would always do crazy things like feed off of humans when we were free to roam outside the Academy , we would get Blood drunk, and do other things. I didn't even know who she was. She was a mystery. But I loved  her. One night I was really angry and drunk off blood. This is when I was outside the academy. Issy found me in an alley drinking blood from these two girls I met at a club. These two vampires showed up out of nowhere and knocked me out. The next moment I wake up and Issy's body is on the ground and her heart was ripped out . I passed out again and and when I woke up again at her body was gone. Thought you got some animals taken her. Ripped her body to shreds. But it was gone with no trace.

"I don't understand why does this have to do with Elissa being in danger ?"

"You guys don't know what Issy is like. She is the type of person that will get anything she wants. And she wants me back . Last night she found me in New York . She knew I was with Elissa to visit her mother ."

"So you're being stalked crazy ex- vampire girlfriend" Kate asks

" I know how this sounds. She literally attacked me in New York in an alley. She pretended to be Elissa to lure me in  There. Her Vanessa and Nikolai."

"Jacks daughters!" Kate says

"What exactly did she say Tristan?"

"She wanted things the way they used to be before Elissa came along. She's planning on finding the Immortalis dagger. I know she is. She knows Elissa is a hybrid and she knows I'm with her and she plans on using it. Well with the help of Jack's family , they're going to kill her"

"Oh my God Lucius we have to tell Elissa. Everything. Along with other things you have to explain " Kate says

"You can't tell her The only reason I told you was to stop her before she gets her hands on Elissa!"

"Tristan's right" Lucius said

"Now you both sound like complete idiots!. We are talking about lying and putting her life at stake. Kate claims.
"She is going to find out who Issy is eventually the both of you "

"You make it seem like she's more than just my ex girlfriend like someone you 'knew' from a past life "

Lucius looks at me and then Kate. Then Kate looks at Lucius with her hands on her hips.

"There are somethings Elissa can't know yet it's too risky "Lucius says

"For you for her " Kate says

I my phone rang for my pocket I walked away from Kate and Lucius' arguing. I looked at the phone and it was a blocked number.

" Hello " I ask the person on the other end of the phone call.

"Tristan Tristan Tristan. Have you not learned your lesson yet by telling people my business that just won't do. Now that you've told Kate and worse Lucius it leaves me with no option"

"I swear to god if you think about touching her I will kill you myself "

"What did you expect Tristan I know I told you my plans but to think I could trust you? let's see what Ivan can do about that. I see Elissa's  Little friend Zoe is visiting her parents in New York also how convenient. You see what happens what you do to the person you love you take their loved ones away. Trust me Tristan  you need me more than I need you. And by my side there will be more blood from where that  from"

"Don't do it!"

" I have no choice. Tell Kate and Lucius and all of your vampire friends at The Academy that Issy is back in taking back with hers. And as for your hybrid  girlfriend she is more dead than ever with the Immortalis dagger in my hands. Goodbye Tristan"

(Screaming from the phone call)
"No no, please don't kill me NO!No!" Zoe yelled over the phone before Issy ended the call.

"Zoe!" I yelled before I threw my phone into the wall frustrated by Issy

"Whats wrong?" Lucius asked

My eyes turn red and my chest pumps with rage.

"Zoe's dead" I say
She killed her.

The blood bath is beginning!
