Walking into the living room, I looked around for Adrian with sleepy eyes...He wasn't in here either. I wondered where he was. Shrugging, I went to the coffee pot, my arm freezing in mid-reach. Pulling back, I thought I might need my one cup for later, knowing my new house mates.
Getting into the shower, I thought about how I got into this position: I was in a house full of vampires...well it was more of a mansion. Not even two years ago had I not been able to even stay in the same room with a vampire-a half vampire even! Rose had been the very first vampire I ever had officially met. The very first vampire I had started to become friends with.
After befriending her and other vampires-strictly forbidden in my race-I had become attracted to another vampire named Adrian. He and I fell in love, after a lot of me not accepting the fact, and started to date secretly. Eventually the group I used to work for, the Alchemists, found out and tried to kidnap me, actually succeeded in kidnaping me, and tried to Re-educate me. Luckily, I had an awesome boyfriend who never gave up looking for me and eventually broke me out. After weeks of trying to hide, Adrian had a brilliant plan: To get married. That way, the other vampires could take me under their wing and protect me since I was now family. The ironic thing was my dad was the one who'd kidnapped me.
The vampire queen, Vasilisa Dragomir, who was the same age as me, moved me to a secure area with a group of my friends and some guardians: Eddie Castile, Jill Dragomir, Rose Hathaway, Dimitri Belikov, and, of course, Adrian Ivashkov.
When I was out of the shower, I changed into a purple blouse and khakis. I heard my bedroom door open, and spun around. Adrian.
"Too bad," I said smirking, "If you'd come in just a second earlier, you would've seen me topless. Poor Adrian."
Smirking as well, he said, "Yes, poor me. Maybe later you could show me what I missed out on?"
"Maybe," I smiled as his lips met mine for a much too brief kiss.
"Anyways," Adrian said, stepping back, "Purple, Sage? Nice! Oh, and look at what I found!"
I looked at him confused as he waved a book in the air. Then I gasped, realizing what he had: My diary.
"So not cool, Adrian!" I cried, "Give it back!"
I tried to reach it, but he held it over his head and, even jumping, I couldn't. He was way taller than me.
"Maybe once I read some of it," He said, a mischievous smile on his face.
"No! Adrian!" I whined, "Give it back!"
"Gotta catch me!" He said, running into the living room.
I ran after him, my hair still dripping from the shower. Coming to a halt in the living room, I realized everyone else was gathered in there too.
"What's going on, Adrian?" Asked Eddie, looking between us, "Why'd you drag us all out here?"
"I have something to share with you all," Adrian said, waving my diary once more.
"Adrian!" A cried, trying to tackle him, but failing epically, "Don't!"
Adrian snickered, holding the diary with one hand while keeping me away with another.
"What do you have, Adrian?" Cried Rose, the curiosity killing her.
"My diary," I said, blushing lightly.
"Ooh, you have a diary?" Asked Rose.
"Yeah," I said, "And he won't give it back."
"Come on, Sage," He said, "Just let us read a couple pages."
Half the people in the room nodded.
"You should give it back, Adrian," Said Eddie, but I could hear the curiosity in his voice as well.
I looked around helplessly, my eyes landing on Dimitri. He'd stop this, right? Dimitri, however, looked away, pretending not to understand the look I was giving him. He wanted me to read it too!
"You've got to be kidding me," I groaned.
"Just a couple of pages, Sage?" Adrian asked, speaking low into my ear.
I rolled my eyes, trying to act as casual as possible with the blush raising slowly to my cheeks, "Fine. Just a couple of pages."
"Yay," Squealed Jill, "I told you it'd work, Adrian!"
My blush deepened as everyone laughed, "Let's just read it. Get it over with," I said, frustrated.
"As you wish," Adrian said, smiling wider, opening the book.
