Chapter 1: Alyce
Mick and Beth were sitting at the table in Mick's kitchen when suddenly Mick's nose tilted up and a huge smile erupted on the vampire's face and he was up headed for the door before the knocks even started. He opened the door and as sure as Mick was dead, there she was. With long dark brown hair curled at the ends, porcelain skin and a body even a 80 year old vampire couldn't forget. Without as much as a "hello" she stormed into the apartment.
"Okay, so get this. I was walking in the airport in New York and I look up on the screen and what do I see but a flight to Los Angeles and I couldn't resist."
"Alyce, I can smell you a mile away." Mick replied matter-of-fact. She parted her lips to let her beautiful smile show as Mick pulled her in for a hug. He looked out the still open door at her black and white checkerboard roller-suitcase.
"That's it?"
"What do you mean that's it?"
"I haven't seen you in about 5 years and this seems that you are only going to be in for a weekend. You have to stay longer than that."
"I'm glad you think that," Just as she said that a boy of about 23 walked up to the door with 3 huge black luggage bags with the letter A embroidered on each bag. "because I was looking more on the couple weeks time frame."
Alyce handed the boy a 50 dollar bill and he left. She closed the door and saw the look Mick was giving her and simply replied with a, "What? He's cute."
"You haven't changed a bit." Mick said with a smile. She still had her own since of style. Mick once told her she looked like she gets dressed in the dark. The different patterns and colors were enough to make any mainstream designer faint on sight, but she didn't care. Everything she wore was her own creation and she always looked fabulous.
Alyce moved past Mick and headed for the kitchen table and froze at the door way when she saw Beth sitting there. "Oh my god..." she looked at Mick with an astonished smile on her face as he walked by her to pick up her luggage.
"I'll take your bags upstairs."
Alyce looked back at Beth and came to her senses. "I'm being rude, sorry. You're Beth. Hi I'm Alyce Higgins, a good friend of Mick's."
"How good?"
"She knows." Mick yelled form the stairs.
"Oh, awesome! Well in that case, I've known Mick for about a little under 40 years."
"You don't look any older than a teenager, you're a vampire?"
"You can say that."
"How did you and Mick meet?"
"Well it's kind of embarrassing, but when I was 16 I ran away from home with my boyfriend Jim. My parents came to Mick for help and he found me just in time. See, Jim was a vampire and his intentions weren't exactly to turn me. Word got out about what happened and a small group of vamps ambushed my house one night and killed my parents. Mick and Josef, if you know Mick then must have met Josef. They kind of took me under there wing, no pun indented, we can't actually turn into bats.
"So Jim is your sire?"
"No, after my parents died I begged Mick and Josef to turn me but they never gave in. When I was 21 I was in a bad car accident. I don't remember much but I woke up in Mick's arms with an appetite for blood."
"Mick is your sire?"
"Yep."
"Excuse me I have to use the bathroom."
"Sure."
Beth walked up the stairs to find Mick arranging Alyce's luggage in a room she never noticed before. Mick looked up from what he was doing. "I'll be down in a second."
"I thought you never turned anyone." Beth stood at the doorway with her arms crossed and eyes wet.
Mick's head snapped up to look at her. "I see you and Alyce already started girl talk." Beth gave him the look and he continued "Beth it's not like that." He walked over to her and held her shoulders and put his hand under her chin. "I will explain everything to you soon, but I can't right now."
Beth phone chirped and she pulled away from Mick, "I have to go. It's Moreen. I'll call you."
Beth walked down the steps followed by Mick. Beth walked to the kitchen to pick up her purse off the table and Alyce was sitting there enjoying a glass of dark soda.
"Wait," Beth paused looking confused, "I thought you said you're a vampire."
"It's complicated." Mick answered for Alyce.
"That's actually why I'm here me being a freak and all." She held up the glass of soda when she said the word freak.
"You're not in any trouble are you?" Mick asked with caution, which grew to concern when her reply was just a big cheesy smile. "Alyce!"
"What? It's not that bad I just need to lay low for a while that's all." The look on Mick's face didn't recede so she continued, "I promise, I'm fine."
3 knocks at the door cut off the conversation. Mick opened the door and Josef walked in without a thought and was rambling on about work with his cell phone to his ear.
"Hello, Josef, come in."
"Look you tell them to reconsider or I will 'help' them reconsider." Josef snapped his phone shut and gave Mick a little smile. "I need a drink." He made his way to the kitchen when his eyes fell on Alyce and he stood frozen in his spot. A smile started to work its way to his face, "now I need a different kind of drink."
"Hey stranger."
"Alyce, I heard not a word from you in 5 years because someone doesn't like to call or write and all I get is a 'hey'?"
She walked over to him and they wrapped their arms around each other tightly. Beth leaned into Mick, "I've never seen Josef act like this around anyone."
"He has a big soft spot for Alyce."
"Are they together?"
"No, but if she had it her way they would be. That's the one thing he won't give her. It makes being around them complicated at times." Mick said in a low voice but then raised it so the other two could hear. "Hey you two are going to have to do that another time; I need to know what we are dealing with."
"You're right. Josef I'm glad you're hear, you're going to want to know this."
