"I don't want to stop you, I just want to hear what you have on your mind.." I told her watching how she closed her eyes for a second and ran a hand through her hair before she took a small step back. "Lana, just talk to me before you go." ~ Lana's POV I sat on the couch across from Christian. I tried explaining as much as possible. But was it understandable for him? Did he ever have to deal with something like that.. What Amelia and I saw in those 'visions', it was no joke.. It included so many people, and I was not willing on just letting that go without any answers. It was madness to just try and forget about it because we didn't even know if it was true or not.. I couldn't live with assumptions. I wanted to know the truth. "The best way to know if what I saw was real is to ask the person that's mostly involved in it. And that's my father." He had his elbows leaned on his knees and from the frown on his face I could tell that he didn't really like what I was telling him. "There is another way, Lana.. We'll find a different way." He seemed so certain in what he was saying that almost seemed impossible to change his mind. But this was going too far. We were losing time. And I knew that Amelia was involved in that as well.. I just didn't talk to her that morning. I was certain that I could solve it without any drama whatsoever. And I was aware that I ran away for a reason, but I knew that they weren't going to make me do something I didn't agree on. Besides, time already passed.. The situation cooled off.. "It's my family, Christian. They're not going to hurt me." The worst thing that I knew for fact was going to happen was my dad being angry with me for worrying them.. And my mom probably not speaking to me. I watched how he released a slow breath and leaned back on his chair. I could tell that I annoyed him with my excuses, but it was my family we were dicussing. I knew damn well that no one would rise a finger on me. And even though I didn't want to deal with that at that point, they were all involved.. My father was the main dot. He connected us all.. We were a family for so long because of him. We functioned as a union because of him. We were the strongest pack because of him.. Because he was a good leader. If it was a different case, I wouldn't feel so comfortable and calmed about going back home. I ran away not for my life, but with the hope that the situation about my arranged marriage would be a little forgotten by the time I go back. He looked at me, and I could tell that there was something that he wasn't telling me.. Something that he didn't express yet. I glanced at Calliope but she just followed the situation.. "Listen," Christian's deep tone took my attention again as I watched how he leaned forward again. "I'm not saying that your family is going to hurt you, Lana, I'm not.. But we all saw what happened last night. We took the necklace from your father, and even though the pendant we found belonged to a Vesnetsov, it's obvious that he was involved. He's been working with the Vesnetsovs for years.." Oh, but there were so many other ways, and they all added up. "I know, okay? But, I already told you last night.. What if we didn't take the necklace from my father, but we took it from Alexander?" I didn't know how to prove my theories but what I did know for sure was the fact that my family was never going to hurt me. "If my father was involved in the attack from last night, trust me, I would've been dragged out from here that same second they crashed in." My father was never going to let me be involved with vampires if he knew where I was.. And Christian and I.. We were more than just involeved. There was something going on, and it wasn't just the deal. I knew that. I was aware of it. I felt it.. I just didn't want to admit it..
