This chapter is still set in the past. I'll be showing a few select moments the group had while still in hell.
Hope you all enjoy~!
A few weeks went by. Things went well too. Laim and Wyatt showed the trio all the ins and outs of hell. It all seemed pretty simple. Avoid the more violent demons and try to barter what they had for food and the such. The group, all getting very close. Laim and Wyatt had helped them a GREAT deal. If it weren't for them, they could've been toast. The only time the vampires weren't beside them was when they had to attack a fallen person for blood. But... then again... they WERE vampires. They kind of had to do so. Dead or not, blood lust wasn't pleasant.
The grouls really were getting rather close. Comfortable, to the point when they had a moment, they'd play a game or something to help pass the time. Some of them were slightly stupid like charades or a card game. But today was a little different. Today... they had decided to play a good old fashioned game of truth or dare. And so far, no one had chosen dare.
Things were all sorts of innocent. Like when was their birthday, what their favorite food was and if they had a crush on anyone (that one from Sean, one not so innocent~). Finally it became Wyatt's turn, Laim asking.
" Alright Wyatt. Truth or dare? "
" Dare. "
The group pulled back a little to hearing that, amazed someone FINALLT chose dare. Laim, asking softly now.
" U-uh, are you sure buddy? You, don't wanna do truth? "
Wyatt blinked calmly, saying coolly.
" I'm sure. It's just a dare. Now, what is it? "
Sean winced mildly to this, a bit unnerved really, leaning over to Lance and whispering.
" Man. That guys lack of expressions never get less creepy... "
" You're telling me... "
" Well ok. Um... "
Laim stuttered, trying to think of a good one. Wyatt was never really affected by ANYTHING. NOTHING got to him. Thinking of a good dare would be tough... looking at the hooded vampire, he tried to find something. ANYTHING that might be acceptable. Might make him squirm. After all, that was the point of truth or dare. Finally, he gave up: he might as well just give him an easy one. Next time maybe... sighing, he got out.
" Fine. Your dare is... to, take off your cape... "
The group all mentally groaned, each one agreeing this was a LAME dare. That is, they did, until...
" Wh-what?! "
Wyatt yelped, looking TERRIFIED it seemed, before pulling the hood down his face even further (eyes barely seen at all now). For some reason, seeing this vampire actually SHOWING expressions was even MORE creepy than him NOT.
" No! "
' Why is he freaking out over a CAPE? ' Sean wondered, now smirking mildly with eyes lowered. ' Has he ever been without it? ... Well. Time to find out...~ ' Stalking over to the vampire quietly (Sean is behind him see), he soon quickly ripped away the hooded cape from the vamp, removing it from him. Everything was visible now. And it... surprised them beyond words.
They could now see everything. The VERY reason the vampire WORE the hooded cape. For what was beneath it... we're animal ears. And a small tail. Both bright blue with a single green stripe through them. Wyatt... winced it seemed, looking, a bit scared now, cowering in their presence.
" ... Wyatt, you're... "
Laim got out softly, Nathan soon adding in.
" A humanoid vampire...? "
Slowly, at last, all expression left his face once more. Soon, taking a breath and sighing before softly speaking.
" Yes... when I was a kid, there was this school. A great, elite school that only the best of the best could get into. However... it had one rule: pure breed vampires only. My parents, didn't take no for an answer. And, had me hide my ears and tail beneath the cape. It was the only way I could get in. And, now I just can't feel comfortable without it anymore... "
" Woah man... "
Sean mumbled, not noticing the bat walking over to him and yanking the cape away from him.
" I would've never guessed... "
Everyone watched as the vampire tied it around his neck now, hands on the rim of the hood.
" Well, none of us mind it. Couldn't you, maybe, leave it off now? "
Nathan asked quietly, not wanting to upset the other. Wyatt shaking his head to this, saying lowly.
" No. Never. Ever. As I said, I can't feel comfortable without it... "
In a slow movement, the bat pulled the hood over his head, now only showing his bangs and his eyes once more. The dark, ominous look he'd held in the beginning. Though, this was ok. They supposed. After all, this was how they met him. It would feel, weird, if he didn't have it...
" Now. How about we get back to the game? "
Wyatt said coolly, Laim jumping to the sentence.
" Oh! R-right. Almost forgot. Ummmm... who's turn was it? "
Sorry I took so long with this chapter guys. I usually type before work and what-not, but the free wifi isn't working for my iPad, so I had some trouble getting it typed up. ^_^"
Hope the chapter was worth it though~! ;D
