Hey guys so I'm reuploading this story because as I re read it I decided to make some changes. So please Read, Review, and Enjoy.
Disclaimers: I do not own Glee.
Chapter One
I used to live in LA, but I had to move to Lima with my girlfriend, Marissa, and her family. Yeah, I know how that sounds. We moved to Lima, Ohio of all places. So, it all started with the fact that my, dads died. They were in a fatal car crash when they were coming to pick me up from Marissa's house. I had a loving family one moment then I was all alone. I remember sitting on my friend's porch steps as she had her arms wrapped around me. I knew they were gone when an hour passed, and they hadn't showed up to pick me up. Riss and I sat like that for the rest of the night. By the morning I could see it on her face. I couldn't take the pity, so I turned and ran out the door. I didn't stop running until I couldn't take the burning in my lungs. I ended up on the Hollywood Hills. It's a part where you can overlook the glory that is LA, or shall I say the smog. This was always Riss and mine's spot. I sat down on the dirt and just started crying so hard. Soon I could smell Marissa's perfume and her arms around my shoulders. Once I noticed her presence, I instantly became less tense. You could say that I had a small crush on her. She had been my best friend for so long, the way she smiled made my heart skip a beat. I could listen to her forever and our voices blended so perfectly together when we sang. I loved how she felt against me when we hugged, clinging so tightly to one another. I wasn't even sure if I could live without her. We just sat there with her holding on to me. Telling me that everything was going to be ok and I believed her. I'm not even sure how long we ended just sitting there.
"Rae, I need to talk to you."
I heard her say it because she whispered in my ear. I couldn't stop myself from shivering at the action.
"I need to tell you something that I haven't had the nerve to tell you."
I thought that she was finally going to tell me that her and her family were vampires. I mean do they seriously think they were being discreet? Because I've known for quite a while, I mean seriously, it might just have to do with the fact that I spent so much time around them.
"It's all right Riss, you know you can tell me anything you want."
I grabbed her hand and kissed her knuckles as she took a deep breathe so, I knew it must be serious. I gave her a reassuring squeeze to her hand.
"Rachel, I'm... in love with you."
"It's ok Riss, I know that you are a... wait what?"
My eyes went comically wide as I looked into Marissa's eyes to see if I actually heard what she said right.
"Rachel I've been in love with you since I met you. I can't go on without telling you just how I feel. I know you just lost your family, but I need you to know that there is someone who loves you and that's me."
All I heard her say that and I kissed her for all that I was worth. My hands caressed her cheeks as her arm encircled my waist. Once my lips touched her lips, I could feel my heart beat quicken as I started to taste her strawberry Chapstick. The taste drove me crazy and all I could do was deepen the kiss as I pressed against her lips harder so that she moaned, and I quickly pushed my needy tongue into her mouth. We needed to get air, so I reluctantly pulled back from her and I looked her straight in the eyes.
"I've been in love with you since we met all those years ago."
She quickly closed the space between us pressing her lips against mine. I quickly responded whole heartedly as I pushed her on her back and crawled on top of her. I was straddling her waist.
"Rae, I have to tell you something.
"What is it babe? Does it have something to do with you being a vampire cuz I seriously don't care."
I kissed her again and our lips just melded together.
"Rae, wait you knew?"
"Of course, I knew Riss I'm your best friend how wouldn't I know."
I went to kiss her again, but she pulled back.
"My parents said you could live with us but, Rae you would have to be turned, but only if you want to. I'm not going to force you, or anything please know that. I'll still be with you, but you can't live with us it would be way too dangerous."
I just looked at her and kissed her on the cheek.
"I'd do anything to be with you Riss. You're about the only family I have left. Even if we don't make it you will always be my family. So, I would love it if you'd turn me so I can become part of your family."
I could see the tears streaming down her cheek. I wiped them away and kissed her cheek again.
"So, like how are you going to turn me? You just gonna bite me or what?"
She chuckled and kissed my neck.
"Well first we have to get back to my place and set up to turn you babe."
So, I stood up and held my hand out for her and she grabbed it. I pulled her up and we walked back to our house. We ended up at our house about half an hour later. We walked through the front door holding hands with a humongous smile on both our faces. As we passed the living room, I saw Mr. and Mrs. Mercato sitting on the coaches with identical smiles on their faces.
"So, I take it you two have finally told that you two are in love with each other right."
"Yes, yes we are."
I held up our intertwined hands and kissed Marissa's knuckles.
"Alright let's get serious."
Jake, Marissa's Dad, chuckled at his wife's antics.
"So, Rachel sweetie now that you know our secret and from what I can see you're going to live with us."
"Only if you guys are sure you want me, I don't want to be a burden or anything."
"Honey, you could never be a burden. You are already part of our family."
We ended up in our own little family hug. I could feel the love from the whole family. Once we separated, I said
"So? What are you guys going to bite me to turn me or what?"
They all started to laugh hysterically because I decided to just be so stereotypical about vampires. But what I noticed about them was very different of what the books and movies portrayed. First thing I ended up noticing was the fact that they could go out in the sun light. Vampires are supposedly the ultimate killing machines. They had everything to allure their prey to them. So, of course the Mercato family, all of them were so gorgeous, especially Marissa. She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. She was around 5' 7" with legs that go on for days. She had curves to die for, her abs were stone hard. Anyway, not only is her body smoking but she has one of the most beautiful faces that I have ever seen. Her eyes were a sea of green-blue. I could stare at them all day. Her skin wasn't pale but a perfect shade of alabaster. How perfect she was, I couldn't even express it in words. So not only did she look amazing, but she smelled amazing. I had no idea what it was but it's such a mixture of smells that just is so Riss. It's a strong smell that just entranced me. But she also had a personality that just shined through. The ways that she could be so cute by just scrunching her nose when something surprising happened she was a ball of sunshine that was completely infectious. She was a person who I could totally depend on. She was so open that you could totally feel at ease telling her everything.
Everything about Vampires bring in the victim. On another note they do have fangs that only come out when they are aroused. Vampires also do sleep and drink blood. Turning into a vampire didn't seem to be such a horrible thing. Plus, I would be with my second family. We finally stopped laughing and all the giggles finally stopped. I looked directly into Marissa's eyes and I knew that this was the time where stuff was going to get serious. I also saw this sadness in her eyes. I knew that she was going to be the one to change me. All I could do was nod and Marissa took my hand pulling me with her. She took me to the basement where they ironically kept all their dark trinquiets and a freezer full of blood. Riss took me to this table they had down there and told me to lay on it. I just did it wordlessly because I trusted her so completely that I just do exactly as she said. I know she would never hurt me. I laid down on the table and the cold surface of the table is plastered against my lower back, so it chilled my soul as goosebumps arose on my arms. While I closed my eyes and I felt her breath hitting my ear.
"Baby we are going to gives you some anesthesia so you won't feel the pain that will course through your veins."
All I did was nod and I felt her lips brush against mine as I felt the prick of the needle. As the world started to fade, I felt the fangs of Riss into the sides of my neck. My eyelids felt so heavy that I couldn't bring myself to actually open my eyes. All the energy in my body seemed to have just bottomed out. I didn't even have enough energy to lay on my side let alone actually open my eyes. When I opened my eyes that I would be hit with disorientation because I had no idea where I was at the moment. All I could clearly tell is the fact that there was a cold slab against my slower black. The atmosphere was actually extremely cold. All the sudden a scent was put into the air. This smell made my mouth water, so my eyes just cracked open. My eyes narrowed through the whole room as I was trying to find the scent. Everything else was a blur but I could hear all the sounds in the room. From the noise of the refrigerator to the sharp steps on the stairs. Even the imminent threat of someone walking down stairs couldn't take me off my search for that wondrous smell. I took a deep breath of that amazing scent that made my mouth water. I was on my feet that didn't even make a noise. Once I turned my head, I could feel my hair hit the side of my face, which let me zone in on the smell. I found where the source of it was. My muscles clenched and then my feet were pounding on the asphalt but without making a noise. I was across the room in two-seconds flat as I grabbed what seemed to be a bag, but I bit into it because of this animalistic urge to feast on it.
I let out a feral growl as the liquid with an irony taste got into my taste buds and down my Gulliver. The burning desire in my stomach started to grow as I had this intense need to have more so the burning can subside. I started sucking on the bag so hard that even some started to dribble down my chin, but I couldn't care less. This desire was just taking over all inhibitions in my mind. The burning stopped completely, and I dropped the bag on the floor. I wiped the excess off my mouth with the back of my hand and I turned around. Then standing there with a hungry expression on her face was Marissa. I let out another growl and before I could actually think of what I was going to do my feet took me to her as I grabbed onto her neck, I pulled her in for one of the most powerful kisses of my life. The libido in me wanted more so of course I obliged by pushing her against the wall and when her back hit the wall she let out a breathy moan that just pushed me forward. My hands came up into her luscious black locks and I pulled a little as my lips started to move towards her jugular. I couldn't stop myself from licking her vein across her neck. She shivered against my ministrations against her neck. I couldn't stop myself from digging my now extremely sharp fangs into her neck. I could feel her blood, but it was different from the other substance I was drinking. Then it hit me, I sobered up from my biting frenzy to realize what I had just done. What this weird craving was that I suddenly felt then need to make subside, this needed for blood, but that of a human. It all came back to me, avalanche of memories cascade down the mountain of my brain intermixing with everything.
I fell limp to the floor, it was the only way to stop myself. I closed my eyes trying to rein in the sweet adrenaline coursing through my veins about a hundred times more than a human. The bittersweet ache between my legs wasn't helping satiate my libido because I could smell that aroma that is so Marissa. I always thought that my attraction to her was very strong and I wanted to jump her every-time I saw her but this, this was completely different. It was now an animalistic need in my nature as if without quieting it down I would fade to nothingness. This kind of obsession and need has always been there. I had always known I needed Marissa, but it seemed as if this need has manifested ten-fold since my transformation. Now that I was, well, a vampire I could see the world in a different light one where life became much clearer it's not like human vision which was cloudy like a morning in London. It was startling, seeing the world in this new light. Ignorance was bliss in the sense that it kept you somewhat at bay. It was like what Freud tried to explain: the idea that the subconscious had three different parts the ID, Ego, and Super Ego. Funny thing was that he seemed to be right in the sense of vampire nature because we didn't seem to have and Ego or Super Ego. It was ID, all day and all night. It took some getting used to my overactive libido to say the least. As I tried to control my body by stiffening all my muscles Marissa sat down next to me and whispered in my ear:
" Someone is a little horny."
I opened my eyes and grimaced at her. I was not at all amused by her antics at my lack of self-control. I was usually very composed and prided myself on having a cool exterior, which seemed to have deteriorated in less than five-seconds. While I was giving her a glare she continued talking.
"Aw baby don't be like that. You just won me quite a lot of money."
Now I was completely confused. What the fuck was she talking about? My eyebrows knit together as I tried to remember her mentioning anything about her winning money. She must have noticed my confused expression because she quickly explained.
"My parents and I bet on how long it would take you to try and jump me after you turned. I said within the first ten-seconds of waking and I was right. My parents thought you wouldn't last five."
Of course, she busted out laughing to the point where she was on her back clutching her ribs. All I could do was have a petulant pout on my facial features. Did I really seem that up tight that I would just jump anything that was moving? I always thought that I hid my sexual desire quite well. Guess I was wrong huh?
"Baby, don't pout. Everybody is like that when they first change. You can still be all cool and badass. I won't tell anyone you couldn't contain yourself."
Of course, she had to say it with that smirk on her face, but I couldn't really argue with her. I knew I was completely whipped anyway at least she was going to keep my rep intact.
"Oh, good Rachel your awake! How do you feel sweetie now that your one of us?" Mr. Marcato said.
"It, kind of took me by surprise."
"Don't worry you'll get used to it. Now we can finally formally commemorate you as part of our family" piped up Mrs. Mercato.
Marissa's Mom then walked behind me and put the family pendant around my neck. I could feel the cold silver pendant touch my hard-cold skin. I was so touched by the moment that I had a tear stream down my face.
"You guys don't know how much this means to me. Thank you so much for taking me in. I love you guys."
We had another one of our lovely family hugs. While I was being embraced by my family, I started humming a song which I quickly started to sing.
"Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life
I say, Oh
Got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life, a good, good life"
I finished singing the chorus of the song and I looked up at my family to see that all of them had tears in their eyes. They were tears of joy and welcome that I'm sure I had in my eyes too.
"Ok enough of this emotional stuff. So, if you don't mind, I'm going to watch some football."
This statement got a chuckle out of Marissa, Mrs. Marcato, and I.
"Wait honey we have to tell the girls about the move."
"We are moving?"
Both Marissa and I inquired.
"Yes, we are honey. So, we can all have a new beginning with Rachel as part of our family and by that, I mean her as your girlfriend who lost her family and we took her in. It'll be a lot easier for her to adjust and for your relationship."
I had to admit, that it did seem like a really good idea until I found out exactly where we were moving to. I mean seriously Lima, Ohio what the hell was there to do for fun around there? If the only thing "cool" around those parts was a bowling alley I would scream. Sadly, that was not an option because I was technically already dead. Well, this was just SUPER. Yes, I could be very sarcastic when I wanted to be. That was how I got stuck on a car ride to Lima, Ohio. The only thing I had seen so far was cows, hills, and dead looking grass. Yeah this was going to suck big time. I had lived in LA all my life, where there was a huge night life seen and it was lively with VERY open-minded people. Now I was supposed to live in a conservative cow town where people were very close minded. If anyone tried to go near my girl, they had hell to pay because I wouldn't stand for all that shit. Before my transformation I was a very protective person over the people I loved, just asked the guy back home who commented on Marissa being a "slut". He was still in the hospital and that was about four months ago. Now with my new Vampire like sense I was for sure going to get into some trouble, which wasn't something I wanted. All I really wanted to do was lay low and be with Marissa.
Her hand intertwined within mine was about the only thing keeping me sane at the moment. I knew in a little po' dunk town like this news traveled fast so trying to keep invisible was going to be nearly impossible especially with how attractive Marissa was. I didn't want anyone trying to feel her up because they thought she was easy because I would just lose it and blow our cover. I also didn't want to have to deal with all the silly boys who thought they had a chance with me because they were football captains, which in reality didn't mean shit. They would graduate and end up working a dead-end job with a beer belly and a shitty life. Ugh I really hated small minded towns like Lima. But if this meant I could stay with Riss then I was going to have to make the best of things. I mean I was with the most beautiful girl in the world and had a family that loved me. I didn't need anything else because with this I could push through all the obstacles thrown at me. I'm so stuck in my thoughts that I didn't even realize that we finally stopped in front of our new home. I'm out of the car and I looked up to see one of the biggest houses that I had ever seen. This thing was seriously like a mansion I meant it was gated. Yeah, it was that big. Wow this was just freaking crazy. I'm assuming we were in the rich part of Lima because looking around our neighbors seemed to have just as big as house as we did. Well, maybe this wouldn't be that bad because jeeze this house was amazing and all I had seen was the outside front door and the long ass drive way was the front door. My mouth was completely agape as the front doors were open and Riss pulled me inside the house. I was in total shock at the beauty of this house from the marble floor to the breath-taking chandelier to the dual spiral stair cases leading to the second floor. Past the staircases was a hallway covered in gorgeous art and mid 16th century furniture. The house had a very gothic feel to it. In the foyer the ceiling was high cover in water colored glass, which let the sun light trickle into the room. Past the hallway there was the family room with one of the biggest TVs I had ever seen and a state-of-the-art pool table. To the left you could go into another room with one of the biggest in-home libraries I had ever seen. There were so many books that it was just ridiculous. I just stared at this marvel of a library when Riss squeezed my hand.
"We made sure to include all your favorite books from your old home with some new ones you have wanted. Over at the end there is a little nook where we can read together over-looking the lovely view of our divine garden."
This just keeps getting better and better. Seriously what more could I possibly ask for? Yes, we might be in Lima but at this moment it just struck me that it doesn't really matter where you are just who you are with and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. We continued our tour towards the back of the house. To the left was a very expansive kitchen with an electric stove. Two really huge refrigerators that could hold months and months of food. I assume the kitchen will be full of food to keep appearances. Then to the right was the dining room with one of the most gorgeous chandeliers I have ever laid eyes upon. It was made of diamonds that reflect the sun from the sun roof up above it. At the end of the house are window doors that lead to the infinity pool in the back yard with a breath-taking view of what little Lima had to show for landscape. It showed the mountain ridge from a far that would look spectacular at sunset and sunrise. There is also a bar plus grill set up to have barbecues in the summer. From where the infinity pool goes over the edge there is a slide that goes into the bigger pool down the hill side grotto included. I'm sure Riss and I will spend a lot of memorable moments in there. To the side of the infinity pool there is a pool house for guests and to keep all sorts of pool things I'm assuming.
At the side of the main house is the garage which we aren't allowed to see yet. Now the fact that we can't see it yet just makes me want to see it more. After throwing a small fit by pouting my lips Riss just kissed me and then I like a puppy on a leash follow her to the other guest house that's on the other side of the infinity pool but farther away from the main house. The little path and the garden that could be seen from the library is the path to the other guest house. It was two stories tall. In the first story was again another huge tv that I didn't know that they made them this big with a bad ass surround sound and every gaming system known to man. I was so excited, and I knew my geekiness was showing but I couldn't help it! It was just so freaking amazing. There was also a kitchen smaller than the one in the main house but still pretty big. There was also another Mustang shaped pool table which is so awesome that I was on the verge of tears. In the back of the house there was a door that led into a room that I didn't notice was so big, but I was so happy that it existed. It was an indoor paintball stadium and on the walls were every possible thing you can image ever having for paintball. This house just has so many surprises. Damn Lima better watch out for this. We go upstairs to see the master suit and the two guest bedrooms. The Master has its own bathroom with a spa tub and a walk-in closet. It has a California king size bed and the walls are painted orange. The roof is also made out of glass so you can stare at the stars at knight. This room also has a balcony that can be so romantic because it has its own fireplace outside just like there is one downstairs and in the master bedroom. So, whoever stays here won't get cold. I think that that's all but Riss and I are told to go down to the basement we open the door and walk down the spiral metal staircase holding hands. When we turn on the lights, we literally see a night club set up with everything even a stripper pole. Dude did I die and go to heaven because this is just amazing. We walk back up the stairs to see Marissa's parents with huge smiles on their faces.
"Why are you two so happy?"
"Well, girls, because we can't wait to tell you that you will be living here!"
Riss and I both yell
"What!"
I can't believe they are letting us stay on our own like seriously these are the best parents ever.
"We know you girls are old enough to take care of your selves. You guys are both 18 and are technically adults starting your senior year of high school. You should have some type of responsibility. Plus, we trust both of you and we know you two want to experiment within your relationship and we frankly don't want to hear it because it's not like we can stop you. Ignorance is bliss at times."
Mr. Mercato says in a semi joking tone.
"Honey, I think we broke them"
Mrs. Mercato says with a chuckle.
"Ok girls we will let you two get acquainted with your new accommodations and no peeking at the garage it's a surprise for tomorrow."
"Night girls."
With a kiss on the cheek by both they close the door and walk away. I looked at Riss and I knew that being here with her was the best thing about this whole place. Even with all this amazing stuff if I could share it with my best friend and girlfriend it wouldn't be worth it. I just caressed her cheek and kissed her chastely and say
"The best thing about this whole place is that I get to be here with you. Screw all the material stuff because even if I had them, they don't make me as happy as you do. I love you so much Marissa and I want to give you the world. I want to make you as happy as you make me and if being with me makes you that happy then I'm the luckiest girl in the world."
So, what did y'all think? Please leave a comment! Till next timeā¦
