Chapter 25- Transformation.

Brittany's POV

I groaned loudly as I tried to adjust to the brightness of a really familiar room.

After I finally adjusted to the light, I tried to sit up and I wish I didn't.

Pain seeped through my whole body.

Apart from the fact that my mind was hazy, I felt extremely weak and my neck felt really sore.

I rubbed my neck, hoping that it would make the soreness go away or something-

How stupid of me? I only succeeded in increasing pain.

I looked around, hoping to see Cole but I was greeted with the mild warmness and emptiness of the room with me being the only living creature in it alongside the items that made it a room.

After three attempts, my final move to sit up succeeded.

Just as I reached out for the glass of water on the table beside the bed, the door opened.

My hand stopped midway as I stared in awe at the jaw dropping man that was standing right before me.

His hair was a bright golden color and he had striking golden eyes to match his hair color. It looked soooo cool. His face was well chiseled and I could see his well defined muscles through his tight fitting shirt.

I swear I saw him roll his eyes and he did it so perfectly.

It took ten seconds before I could form a sentence.

"W-who are y-you?" I stuttered.

"Isn't it obvious?" He said.

Even his voice sounded so sexy. He seemed so perfect.

But it also sounded oddly familiar. I couldn't really place where I heard that voice from.

"Seriously?!? You don't recognize me, Britt?" He said. The surprise in his voice was undeniable.

Wait a minute, is he Cole?!? No way!

I acted dumb. Just in case he wasn't Cole.

"Umm, I really don't know who you are, I haven't met you before". I said innocently.

It was feigned innocence actually.

"Drop the pretence Britt. You know it's me already so what's the use of your feigned innocence?" He said like he actually read my thoughts.

No way! Cole couldn't be this hot. Or maybe he could.

"Thanks for the compliment and yes, I'm really Cole". He said.

"What happened to you?" I said in awe.

'Isn't it obvious? You never cease to be stupid'

For a minute, I thought this stupid voice was gone for good but I guess it was just taking a rest in my mind.

'You wouldn't get rid of me that easily, trust me'. It said.

I groaned at it and returned my attention to the man that claimed to be Cole.

Why is he claiming to be Cole?

"That's because I am Cole". He said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"It's hard to believe and why are you acting like you can read my mind?" I asked suspiciously.

I know it's a stupid question but it deserves an answer, doesn't it?

Maybe I said my thoughts aloud.

"That's because I can read your mind". He pointed out.

"No way!". I said.

"Believe it or not. Now stop acting like I'm some alien and get dressed. Join me downstairs in twenty minutes". He ordered and left the room.

What's with the attitude anyways?

I shrugged it off and walked into the bathroom.

I decided to take a look at myself in the mirror.

I was a frumpy mess.

My hair was a big mess, dried blood was smeared on my left cheek and neck, I looked really pale.

I cringed at my appearance and decided to take a quick shower.

After my shower, I wrapped a towel securely around my chest and walked out of the bathroom and picked up the dress I wore the first day we arrived.

I still felt slutty but it's not like I had another choice apart from my blood stained oversized T-shirt.

I went downstairs and saw Cole talking to a woman. They were actually laughing. I've never seen Cole laugh so much. That must be his girlfriend or fiancée or something.

I felt a pang of jealousy hit me.

Why the hell am I getting so jealous?

Well, she was really pretty. She had dark blonde hair and had similar golden eyes as Cole. She was tall, almost like Cole but he was considerably taller. She seemed so nice to Cole. Her smile made her prettier.

I felt so disgusting compared to her.

Cole noticed me and then they walked towards me.

Taking a closer look at her, she was prettier than I imagined.

Reluctantly, I bowed.

"Master Cole and Mistress-" I said with my head still bowed.

"Rhea. Princess Rhea". She said, her voice was so smooth. "Nice to meet you Brittany, Cole's told me about you. He wouldn't stop talking about you".

Really?!?

I raised an eyebrow and looked at Cole.

I wasn't surprised that his face didn't show any emotions but I was disappointed.

"No. If anything, I hardly ever say her name". He said. His voice was as cold as ice.

Okay, that hurt.

"Liar! It's so obvious that you're lying Nicky". She said.

They seemed pretty close... I mean, I'm not the only one that heard the nickname.

'It's so obvious that you're lying Nicky'. I mentally mimicked.

'You have no reason to get jealous'. My stupid subconscious said.

'Who says I'm jealous?' I asked.

'Well, it's obvious'.

'Whatever'. I replied and tuned it out.

"Who says I'm lying?" Cole asked, obviously irritated.

"Well, your face says it all Nicky". She said.

"Stop. Calling. Me. That!" He said, spacing out each word.

"You know I won't Nicky". She said.

Their small fight was amusingly interesting.

By then, he was burning holes into her face with his hard stare.

"Don't give your big sissy that look". She said.

Wait a minute, big sissy?!?

So she was his sister. There was actually no reason to get jealous.

Urgh! This subconscious seemed to be always right.

'Cause I'm not stupid like you'. It taunted.

'Don't forget that you're me and I'm you so if I'm stupid, then your equally stupid". I replied.

'Nope. I'm different".

There was no point arguing so I tuned it out.

"You're only three minutes older". He mumbled.

"That makes me your big sissy". She teased.

Wait a minute, three minutes older?!? So if I'm guessing correctly, they're twins!!!

Interesting.

I heard him mumble something along the line of 'you-wish'. I'm not entirely sure cause I tuned them out.

I was suddenly amused by the beauty of the hall we were in.

The things in there where mostly black and gold.

The black and gold walls where decorated with obviously expensive portraits. They were undoubtedly more expensive than the ones at Cole's house.

It took everything in me to stop my jaw from dropping. They were portraits of different men. The oldest looking man here seemed to be about 100 years of age or something.

But they're vampires so they're obviously older than that.

There were different ivories made of gold, silver and even bronze on golden tables at the far end of the hall.

I was about to walk over to inspect the ivories when someone called my name, making stay rooted on the ground.

"Brittany-" Rhea called out.

"Umm, you can call me Britt ma'am". I said respectfully.

"Okay, Britt, don't call me ma'am. It makes me feel old. Just call me Rhea. So Britt, meet Lucas". She said, pointing at a guy that I didn't notice earlier.

He was tall. Almost the same height with Rhea. She was only taller by an inch or two.

He had sandy blonde hair and electric blue eyes. What made him really cute were his dimples when he smiled at me.

"Seems like they already like each other, Nicky, why don't we-" Rhea said.

"No thanks. I didn't get a pet for that". He cut her short.

She groaned.

"But they look so cute together. See? she's blushing so hard". Rhea said.

Am I? Really? So embarrassing. I blushed even harder.

"She's only fifteen, Rhea". Cole said.

I didn't miss the surprised look on Rhea's face.

"No. She can't be fifteen. I can sense it and I'll prove it to you". Rhea said.

Does she have age sensing abilities or something?

Okay, that didn't make sense.

"I checked her birth certificate. She's fifteen and there's nothing to prove". Cole said.

"Yes, there is. I won't just accept the fact that she's fifteen. I know there's something more to this". She said with all seriousness.

"You look so cute when you're serious". Cole teased.

She rolled her eyes.

"Gimme two days to sort everything out". She said.

Is she crazy or something?!?

If I'm guessing right, she probably wants to do an aging research or something.

Cole's got a psycho for a twin.

I thought I saw him glare at me but I'm not sure. My focus wasn't on him but the crazy twin saying that I wasn't fifteen.

"We're leaving in two days". Cole said.

"So? You really don't expect me to believe that she's a fifteen year old in an eighteen-year-old's body? I mean, c'mon!"

"So are you suggesting that her certificate was faked?"

"Possibly". She said and left before he could say something else.

Lucas gave me a small smile before ascending the stairs with Rhea.

Rhea is crazier than I thought. She actually thinks I'm not my actual age.

Well, I know that I'm too mature for my age both physically and psychologically but that doesn't mean I'm not fifteen.

Maybe it did. I didn't even feel fifteen. Sometimes, I had to remind myself that I wasn't eighteen but fifteen.

Well, I just have to wait for two days then the days of suffering will finally be over.

Oh, and I'll also get to know what the crazy twin has discovered about my 'possibly faked age'.

***

A/N: Hey guys.

Isn't this interesting?

Or rather Crazy?!?

Britt's birth certificate could have been possibly faked (according to the crazy twin)

Well, we just have to wait and see if the crazy twin finds out anything.
