A/n chapta two, have fun I hope you like it, just a note for all, the rest of the story will be done mostly in dez's point of view, if you don't like it, deal with it.
Dez pov!
As I walked with everyone, I thought curiously about where I would end up sitting this year. Every year, the parents, Aunt Maddy, would randomly pick where people sat at the 'kids table'. God, are we all still five? Anyways, I swear every year she decided to put us beside the people who will end up getting us in the most trouble. The thirteen of us arrived at the dinner cabin and I walked to the table that my dad pointed to and went to find my name among the place cards. I looked at the table, there was five chairs on one side, six on the other, and one on each end.
I found my seat, it was one of the middle two chairs on the side with six chairs. To my right was Ash's friend, Rafael, to his right was Morgead, then Jez. On my left was Quinn, then Ash. Somehow, the three of us had always gotten set beside each other, boy did that not end well. At Ash's end of the table was Jade, on the other side, Kestrel. On the middle of the opposite side was Rowan to her left was delos then Mikayla. On her right was James then Poppy. I noticed that the calmer people had been set on one side while the roudy people were on the other side. Mikayla could be either, she just kinda fed off people's emotions. Don't get me wrong, that's a not a bad thing, but it meant she would be a bit calmer.
Ash's dad, Uncle Cole walked over, I turned to say hello, so did Quinn, but before either of us could say anything, uncle Cole laughed and said.
"Quinn? Dez? Which of you is which I can never tell with those Black hair and blue eyes of yours, you'd think you were identical twins."
I shook my head and face palmed, "hello to you too." I murmered
Quinn raised an eyebrow, "you know you just called me a girl and my delightful little cousin here a boy." He said.
I glared at Quinn, "delightful? Little? I don't think so."
Uncle Cole just laughed and went to go talk to his children.
"Awww, Dezzie is angry." Quinn grinned,
"and Johnnie is and idiot," I laughed
Quinn shot me a look, "Dez, you're picking a fight."
I smirked, "and?"
"You'll get your ass kicked," Quinn told me.
I stood up and raised an eyebrow, "prove it."
Quinn stood as well, "Gladly."
"you, me, field, after supper, you're going down." I told him,
Quinn laughed harshly, "see you there."
I smirked and sat back down.
"INTENSE!" Jez yelled a few seats down causing everyone to laugh, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Quinn laughing like a madman. I smiled, even though we were always fighting, neither Quinn or I ever wanted to hurt each other, he was kind of like an older brother to me. I was pretty sure I was like his little sister too.
The food was served. There was pretty much any food you could imagine laid out on the table. I reached forward grabbing a bun, my hand hit someone else's who was reaching for the same thing.
"oops, sorry," I mumbled, it was Rafael. I moved my hand away and reached for something.
"that's ok, you can have it," he said, handing me the bun,
I smiled, "thanks." I held the bun over my plate and pulled my feet up so that they were cross legged on the chair and picked at the bun. Everyone was piling up their plates and talking to the people beside them.
"you don't eat much," Rafael noticed,
I shrugged, "I guess I'm not very hungry right now." I glanced at Rafaels plate, it was still full, but not heaping with food like the other Redferns.
I smiled, "you obviously aren't a Redfern with that amount of food,"
He laughed, "what about you? You have even less."
"me? Oh, I'm not a Redfern, I'm a Nightshade."
He looked at me confused, "I thought you were Ash's cousin…"
"I am, on my mom's side, I guess I just got my dad's eating habits."
He nodded, "yeah, but the would still make you a Redfern though,"
I thought about it. "I guess. My parents gave me the choice of last names, I choose my dad's because it's more unique, but I could be a redfern too."
Something seemed to dawn on him by the look I saw cross his face.
"wait, aren't Nightshades witches… that would make you half witch, half vampire." he asked,
"Ding Ding, we have a winner. Usually, we're one or the other, but I'm one of those crazy cases where I get both. We have all the vampire things, but the heeling is increased, and we have all the witch powers as well, but increase by the vampire powers."
"like a witch and vampire on steroids?"
I laughed and nodded, "yeah, I guess that's a good way to put it. So, how did you meet Ash?" I asked.
"well, after Ash moved off the coven island, he was just wandering around and stuff, I met him one Night when he was getting his butt kicked by a group of were wolfs, he just always had to be really rude to them, I don't blame him. But anyways, I saved him and then we just started hanging out." I glance back at Ash who was talking quietly with Quinn and laughed. Wit, him and Quinn quiet? Something must be wrong. I shrugged it off and ignored his glare when he heard me laughing and turned back to Rafael, "I would love to see someone beating up Ash."
Rafael smiled, "it was kinda funny. What about you? I didn't think you lived on the coven island anymore, how did you get away?"
"how do you know that? Are you stalking me?" I asked.
Rafael smiled, "Ash was telling me about all the trouble you two got into as kids."
"oh! So you know about me, but I don't know about you?"
"yep, you know, you didn't answer my question."
"observant," I murmered. "well, women aren't supposed to leave the coven, but I was aloud to leave if I went to go stay with Quinn who wasn't living there at the time. Apparently, girls can't handle themselves or something." I said rolling my eyes, "but anyways, I lived with him for a few years then Quinn finally convinced them to let me move out on my own." I leaned closer to him and whispered, "I secretly think that Quinn tried so hard to convince them because he wanted me out of the apartment."
Apparently Quinn ha heard this. "why would I do that, you did my laundry and made food."
I rolled my eyes, "I made myself food and only did your laundry so I didn't have to pay rent, if I seem to recall correctly, this started after I kept putting itching powder in your clothes and made really disgusting food."
Quinn nodded and shuddered, "oh yeah," he said turning back to continue his conversation with Ash.
Rafael laughed, "you really did all that stuff to him?"
I grinned "yep, it taught him to not steal my lunch."
Cutting off Rafaels reply, Quinn smushed a pie into my face, and Ash did it to Rafael.
I frowned and picked up my own pie and smushed it into Quinn's face, Rafael had done the same. Quinn turned to throw something at me, I ducked, so did Rafael and Ash, the mashed potatoes he threw hit Morgead square in the face. Soon enough, food was flying across the tables,
"FOOD FIGHT!" Ash yelled and everyone seemed to through even more. I grabbed an empty bowl and put it on my head as a helmet. I grabbed a massive bowl of potatoes and threw them every which way. Everyone was throwing tons of food it was all fun until Ash and I both threw something, trying to hit Jez and Morgead, but they sucked and it hit the face of Hunter who was standing behind them. Everyone stopped and stared wide eyed at Hunter.
He had just arrived from a meeting, wearing one of his fancy suits which was now smeared with mustered and potato salad. He was fuming. If looks could kill, the two of us would be dead.
"I think it's time to run," I told Ash, he nodded. the two of us took off running. Hunter got close at the end of the table and Ash pushed me towards Hunter, tripping me at the same time. I tripped and ran into Hunter, getting the food that covered me on him, ruining his suit even more.
"uh… Hi there… Uncle Hunter." I said backing slowly away, staring at him wide eyed.
"where do you think you're going?" he asked angrily, his voice ringing through the room. Out the corner of my eye, I saw Ash run out the door, coward.
"Oh, nowhere, just wanted to back up a bit so I don't ruin this wonderful suit. Did I tell you how nice it is, very slimming," I said, chattering on nervously.
"I always knew it was a bad idea to let you out of the coven."
"oh, that's not fair, I did great, I even learned some cool tricks. Want to see one?"
Hunter sighed, humouring me. "fine, fine, go ahead."
I smiled "ok, you have to close your eyes for three seconds. Count them outloud."
Hunter rolled his eyes then closed them "three, two,"
"no no! you're peeking." I took a scarf and wrapped it around his eyes knowing he couldn't see if he tried. "alright, take off the scarf in three seconds."
Hunter started counting, but before he could get out the first word, I had already ran out the door. Soundlessly. I was sitting on my hiding spot on the cabin roof a ways away when I heard an angry yell come from Hunter
"DEZ!"
