I could see the sun going down through the very dark tinted windows of James car, it was stupid of us to drive during that day but, stopping and staying in hotels waiting for the sun to go down all the time was a huge pain. I don't know how I got roped into coming to someones party that I didn't even know but, James was a good friend and I couldn't turn him down. He didn't really tell me much about this family but, that there was a party for his son-in-law and that his daughter said he could invite anyone he wanted. It would be nice being around a group vampires again it been a good 100 years since I've been around anyone other than James and Angela, so I was looking forward to it.
It had been an hour since the sun disappeared and the sky was now black with bright stars shining above when we pulled into the drive way for the most beautiful house id ever seen. Most of the front was made of glass but, white siding covered almost every inch of the house aside from the many windows. The roof was black and I have to lean forward in my seat just so I could see it. The driveway made a full circle than went back down to the street. I could see Angela and I think her daughter along with the guy she hugged tightly as we got out of the car Angela was first to come greet us. I could smell the many scents of the vampires that lived here.
"Hello Roman, I'd like to introduce you to my Daughter Erica and her Husband Elijah." she said gesturing to them both.
"Hello, I'm Roman." I said simply.
"It's nice to meet you." Erica smiled while Elijah gave me a nod and smile.
"Where are the children?" James asked from behind me.
"I guess we should go find them." Elijah said sighing.
The house was even more beautiful on the inside, walking through the door the foyer was split down the middle and had two stair cases that were joined together by a long balcony that looked over the whole walk way. We continued through the house and walked past many rooms that were all the same dark hardwood floors with light purplish gray walls. I could hear the foot falls of not one but three people moving at a rapid pace, I knew those must have been the children. Something caught my eye as we enter a room in the back of the house, it was painting. The girl must have been 10 years old at the least, she had bright red hair and green eyes much like Elijah had.
I kept walking forward not taking my eyes off the painting when I heard the door open and in the blink of an eye, something hard collided into me without having time to stop or catch whatever it was knocked me off my feet and sent both of us slamming into the hard floor. Long wet red hair was draped over my face as I realized another vampire hit into me. I breathed in it's scent and recognized it from the ones I smelt earlier. Slowly the hair moved off my face as the vampire lifted it's head and a pair of bright green eyes meet mine. Something clicked inside of me but, the moment was short lived when the girl currently on top of me took a sharp in take of breath and got off me.
James lifted to me to my feet and apologizing when two identical boys with blue eyes and dark brown hair came in with smiles on there faces but, they dropped as soon as they looked at their father who clearly wasn't happy with them. They all apologized to their father at the same time and I watched as the girl lifted herself to her feet and looked over to me.
While she looked over me, I decided to do the same. She was wearing a purple shirt that hung down on her right side shoulder exposing her pale skin most vampires had and wore black leggings hugged her long legs perfectly. Her bright red hair slightly wet in places hung over her shoulders and down to her waist, her skin was flawless and her perfectly shaped full bright pink lips were slightly open as her green eyes meet mine. She looked embarrassed but seem to have brushed it off, turning her attention to James.
"I apologize for my daughter Roman." Elijah said wholeheartedly.
"Its fine, don't worry." I replied as the red head shuttered
"Hello Grandfather." Her voice sang as she held a serious face.
"Hello Tegan." He said straight faced before they both started laughing and she ran over to hug him.
"Hello Boys." James said releasing the girl named Tegan and walked over to start up a conversation with them.
Tegan and I were now standing beside each other and when she realized this she moved away, I looked at her with a raised eyebrow. I could feel the strange pull between us that made me want to be closer to her and I think she felt it too her face was full of uncertainty but, that melted away as shock laced her face before the words "oh no" escaped her lips which got everyone attention. That's when she bolted out of the room faster then I'd ever expected her to run.
"What's her problem?" On of the boys said out loud getting a glance from his father.
I found myself wondering the exact same thing. What had I done? Why was she acting so weird around me? Maybe it had to do with that click thing? I guess I would have to find out and for some reason I knew that wasn't going to be easy.
