Watch Yourself

Chapter One

David clenched and unclenched his fingers around the steering wheel of the sleek black sedan. He would lean forward and look out the windshield up the side of the cliff that he was parked next to every ten minutes, anxious. She had been gone too long and a part of him wanted to get out of the car and go get her. But he couldn't just leave-

"David?"

David sighed and turned around in his seat to look at the young boy. The boy had dark, almost black, brown hair and dark brown eyes that stood out against his pale skin. He had a small round cherub's face that exerted innocence. The child was no older than seven but he was far more dangerous than any other child his age.

"What's wrong, Adam?" he asked, searching the boy's face.

The boy, Adam, frowned and cocked his head to the side. "Where are Mommy and Daddy? When I woke up this morning they weren't there."

"Tanis told you that they left early before the sun had risen to go see my father. Remember?" David reminded him. Adam could remember everything that his mother had ever told him about a gun and everything his father ever told him about medicine. But when his parents weren't the first people he had seen in the morning he would claim to not remember anything at times or at least pretend not to.

Adam nodded once, his dark eyes wide as he stared at David. "I remember, David." He turned his attention to look out the window, eying the trees beside them. "David, when is Eve coming back? I want to go home. Tanis told me he would tell me a story."

David rolled his eyes at the mention of Tanis. If the old historian told the child one more so-called story about how it was before he was born Selene was going to shoot him in the head and watch as he attempted to get the bullet out without stabbing himself in the eye.

He gave Adam a tight smile. "I don't know when she's coming back, but hopefully really soon, okay? And then we can go home."

The boy smiled and nodded his head, happy with his answer. He pulled out a thick anthology from under the seat in front of him and started to read from it. David recognized the book to be the collection of children's stories Tanis was able to dig up years prior.

It was one of the only things Selene found Tanis to be useful for.

David sighed under his breath and resumed his post looking out the windshield, waiting for his lover to return.

Hours later, when the sun kissed the horizon, Eve appeared at the top of the cliff. She glanced over her shoulder, waved once quickly without really looking, and walked straight off the edge of the cliff face. Gravity seized her and she fell to the earth. Moments later she touched down to the ground and continued to walk as if she didn't plummet fifty feet from the ground, her movement fluid.

Eve slid into the sedan a minute later and quickly kissed David before taking his hand and telling him to drive.

"What happened, Eve? You were gone almost all day," Adam questioned, leaning forward until his little face was directly next to hers.

She gave a small chuckle and kissed his cheek. "Well, hello to you, too, Adam," she said. He continued to stare at her expectantly, unperturbed. "They kept asking me questions after they answered mine. It was almost like they didn't want to let me leave."

David glanced at her once before looking back to the road as he deftly weaved in and out of traffic at high speed. "What did they want?" he asked. "Did they try to hurt you?"

Eve shook her head and clutched at his hand. "No, they didn't hurt me," she soothed him. "They were interested in Mom and Dad. Wanted to know if the rumors were true."

"What rumors?" Adam asked curiously. He didn't remember anyone mentioning any rumors about them.

David and Eve shared a look. "It's nothing, Adam. They wanted to know about the time when David had first met me and Mom," Eve told him. It was the truth – to an extent. The vampires Eve had spoken with had wanted to know if it was true that she and her parents were held captive for twelve years in the facility once known as Antigen. They wanted to know if it was true that the entire corporation consisted of lycans. If it was her mother that singlehandedly destroyed the place to get her back.

"Oh," he said, no longer interested.

Minutes later David pulled onto a private road and slowly drove towards the gate. He rolled the window down and pushed the button on the intercom.

"Tanis, it's us," David said, keeping an eye on the screen.

Moments later Andreas Tanis' gaunt face appeared. He leaned in toward the camera for a few seconds before leaning away. "Hold on," his voice sounded out, face disappearing a second later.

The old gothic gate swung open a moment later and David speed through onto the grounds of the manor, their home, Alvóház.
