We were both very excited yet nervous and I was shocked that Colton didn't get pulled over because of his speeding. As we neared the property Colton slowed down as I searched for the house number that matched what dad had written down.
"Here, it's this one," I said to Colton
Colton stopped the truck on the side of the road and turned the engine off.
"Lexi, are you sure this is it?" Colton asked me as we stared at the property.
"This is the address dad wrote down."
Looking at the property I began doubting what my dad put on the paper. It was just a property with a hill on it. It was nicely landscaped and had some fencing but there was no house here. We got out of the truck and headed towards the property anyways.
"Wait Lexi, look," Colton said, pointing towards the base of the hill.
"There really is a house here," I said, as we walked towards the front door of the dirt covered home.
As I knocked on the front door I heard kids yelling and playing inside. The front door opened slightly and a lady about our age peeked through the opening.
"Can I help you?" The lady asked, looking scared as her eyes darted back and forth between Colton and I.
"Calypso?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know who you are talking about," She said, beginning to shut the door.
"Wait, please," I said, suddenly remembering what mum told me to say "The sun is shining..."
Calypso looked around wide eyed before answering me.
"But the ice is slippery," She said "Who are you?"
"I am Lexi Abruzzi, daughter of Haley and Luca Abruzzi, and this is my fiance, Colton Daniels."
"Haley and Luca! Please come in," Calypso said, swinging the door open "Hurry, they could be watching."
We followed Calypso to a small living room and sat down.
"Your parents, they are okay now? I heard about the kidnapping."
"Yes, they are at home now. My mum told me to come talk to you, she said"
"how did you escape? No one ever escapes from Ricardo," She said, interrupting me like she was trying to avoid what I had to say.
"I had help from two other vampires, I stabbed him in the heart with a special dagger," I said, noticing Calypsos eyes widen.
"Do you know what you have done?" Calypso asked, I shook my head "The whole Diavolo coven will be searching for you when they realize Ricardo, their ruler, is missing!"
"My mum said you would have papers for us, something to clear all of this up."
"Yes, I do have everything you need but you must realize something. This will only hold them off for a bit, it will not stop them. It may take a few years but they will eventually come after you. They might even wait until your kids are teenagers or young adults and go after them instead. When your kids become teenagers you must explain everything to them, they need to be warned about these evil monsters or else they will just become more victims!"
"We wont let that happen, no matter what!" Colton said.
"No we wont," I agreed "But we still need everything you have."
Calypso excused herself, went to another part of the house, and returned a few minutes later with a huge box that was sealed shut.
"Be sure you go through everything carefully before deciding on a course of action. One wrong decision could be your last," Calypso said, before handing me a small wind chime "Also, if you ever need me for anything just hang this out your window."
"How will you know?" Colton asked as I looked at the wind chime.
"I just will," Calypso said, standing up and walking to the front door "Now if you don't mind, I have things to get back to."
Colton grabbed the sealed box and we quickly walked out and headed back home.
*Phone rings*
"Yes sir...they just left..."Calypso said shakily "...Yes, I gave them the box and the wind chime...okay...yes..yes sir."
*Hangs up phone
