It was Ten AM Saturday morning. Vlad walked in to the twin's room to see them both still fast asleep. Vlad sighed and walked between their bed.
"Amelia! Daniel! Get Up!" Vlad shouted. The twins groaned.
"We're tried!" Daniel complained.
"You said that an hour ago!" Vlad told both his twin brother and sister.
"It's too early!"Amelia complained.
"You said that an hour ago!" Vlad repeated.
"It's Saturday morning!" Both the twins complained.
"You-" Vlad started to repeated again.
"Said that an hour ago!" the twins both said at the same time mocking Vlad.
"Last Saturday you didn't wake up until Three in the afternoon. That isn't going to happen again!" Vlad told the twins.
"It's too early to get up for a Saturday!" Daniel argued.
"You said that-" Vlad began to say
"An hour ago by any charge?" Amelia asked cheekily, as she poked her head from around the curtain on her bed. Vlad walked over to her bed and looked her in the eye.
"I am strong enough to push this bed on it side..with you still on the bed." Vlad warned his little sister. Amelia broke eye contact and shut her curtain. "I want both of you up, dressed and downstairs in ten minutes!" Vlad said, as he walked out of the room. When the door closed both twins opened their curtains and pulled a face at their brother even though they knew he couldn't see them.
Ten minutes later.
"Finally got up have you?" Magda asked her twin son and daughter. Amelia glared at her mother.
"Shut up!" Amelia commanded her mother. Magda looked hurt but Vlad pretended not to hear and took the twins to the table were Renfield served the twins there breakfast.
"Your face is pale." Vlad realized when they had finished their food.
"Good! I like that way! Vampires are supposed to be pale!" Amelia told her older brother dreading the awful words 'go outside'.
"You're not a vampire until your six-teen. Both of you go outside. And stay out there till noon." Vlad ordered.
"But-" the twins started to say.
"No buts. Outside." Vlad ordered again pointing at the front door. Amelia and Daniel moaned and slowly walked to the front door. They went down the corridor and walked down the stairs. They went outside and started wondering around the school 's outside. They went right into the corner of the school playground on the field were their was about a hundred meters squared big. Students weren't allowed in this small wood for obvious reasons, however the twins still went inside and inside the mini woods was a sort of large patch in the corner with no trees apart from two. One tree in the very corner resting on the gate and anther tree about ten meters diagonally away from the first. When the twins looked up at the trees they noticed a plastic cover tied to the trees and the gate. On the other side of the gate was the rest of the woods. In this woods the twins saw two people walking to the gate the two people looked familiar.
"David? Alex?" Daniel asked.
"What are you two doing here?" Amelia asked.
"We always hang out here." Alex said.
"But you're not allowed." Daniel pointed out.
"We don't care. And you two aren't allowed here either." David also pointed out.
"We live in the attic of the school building. Were allowed anywhere in the school grounds when their is no school." Amelia reminded her sort-of-maybe boyfriend.
"Whatever." Alex said, as Daniel locked his hands together and Alex used this to climb to the top of the gate then pulling David to the top the the gate as well, then both of the human twins jumping from the gate. "We half a mile away from the school. Last year we were walking through the woods and found that gate. We got over the gate and walked out the woods and saw that it was the part of the school, that was banned from student access. So as no one is allowed in here we decided to make it a place to hang out." Alex explained, as she climbed the tree to it's lowest branch.
"We were just wondering around the building." Amelia told her friends as she and Daniel climbed the tree as well so that they were sitting next to Alex.
"Why?" Alex asked as she helped her twin brother up the tree as well.
"Because my brother Vlad said I looked pale and that me and Daniel have to go outside." Amelia explained, however Alex still looked confused.
"Aren't Vampires supposed to be pale?" She asked. Amelia was taken aback and stared at David.
"You told her?" Amelia asked, with a shocked expression.
"She wanted to know everything that happened last night and she forced everything out of me." David explained, and Amelia rolled her eyes. "I made her promise not to tell anyone." David added.
"It's okay." Amelia told her friends then thought about it for a moment then added. "As long as Vlad doesn't find out that you know."
"Yeah if Vlad finds out that you two know that we are vampires he will go mad." Daniel added.
"Our lips are sealed." Alex told her vampire friends. "Anyway seeing as we are all together you two could have your talk now about last night instead of talking about it Monday." Alex said changing the subject as she pointed to Amelia and David. Amelia stared at David.
"You told her that as well?" Amelia asked.
"I told you-" David started to say.
"She forced everything out of you." Amelia interrupted as she rolled her eyes. "Come then lets go over there then."Amelia added as she jumped from the tree (it wasn't that high). David didn't need to ask, he jumped from the tree as well and followed his sort-of-maybe-possibly girlfriend Amelia. They went to the edge of the woods. For a minute or so either Amelia or David spoke.
First person (David)
"I told you last night that a relationship between us wasn't going to work." Amelia said starting the conversation.
"But you kissed me." I reminded her.
"You kissed me first." Amelia reminded me. "In one hundred years I will be still young and you will have barely enough to blow out your birthday candles." Amelia added.
"That doesn't matter!" I said sharply refusing to give in. "All that matters is that I love you. And that you love me." I told Amelia, then I thought about it for a second. "Don't you?" I asked. Amelia looked me in the eyes, as tears started to slowly fell down her cheeks.
"Yes." she told me as she tried to hold back tears.
"Then what is the problem. I told you that I don't care that you are a vampire." I reminded Amelia.
"Vampires are not supposed to love breathers. It is how nearly every vampire sees the relationship with breathers. If we start a girlfriend-boyfriend relationship and if Vlad finds out he won't like it. He will stop me from seeing you." Amelia explained to me. However I refused to give in.
"I thought Vlad wanted peace." I asked Amelia.
"He does, but wanting peace doesn't stop him not liking the idea of breathers and vampires being together." she told me. However I wasn't going to give in that easy.
"I don't care. I don't care what other people think I love you and you love me..." I took hold of her hands and looked her in the eye "...so we should be together." I continued. Amelia looked me deep in the eyes then pulled her hands away from mine. For a moment I was scared that I had pushed her to far, but then her hands suddenly hit my shoulders and Amelia quickly bent her head and kissed me. I felt comfort of her cold dead lips on mine as I kissed her back. It lasted only about ten seconds but it had felt like a lifetime. We broke apart and Amelia looked me in the eyes again.
"If you don't care about getting into trouble with Vlad ... then either do I." Amelia said. I didn't need to ask, I knew what she meant. Amelia Southerner was now my girlfriend.
Third Person
It was quarter to noon and Alex and David were about to go home when David remembered he had to tell Amelia something.
"Amelia. Watch out for Carly on Monday." David said.
"Why?" Amelia asked her new boyfriend.
"She lives across the street from me and she told me this morning that the boy you hit on Friday was her broth and that he was in hospital with a bad cause of blood lost, and that on Monday she was going to kill you." David explained, however to his surprise his new girlfriend Amelia didn't look a bit scared at all!
"And she expects to me to be scared by her little threat does she. Tell Carly that Amelia said does she remember the last time she picked a fight with me?" Amelia said, then she and Daniel walked away. It was noon by time the twins had got inside and started to walk up the stairs to their house in the school attic. Daniel decided to start a conversation.
"So are you and David going out now?" Daniel asked. Amelia looked around the room to make sure Vlad wasn't near by.
"Yes." Amelia answered when she was certain Vlad was no where to be seen.
"So when are you two going on your first date?" Daniel asked teasing his sister.
"Pis off!" Amelia ordered her brother.
"All right. Sorry for only asking you a question Little Miss Moody Guts." Daniel said continuing to to tease. Amelia's face suddenly went red as her hair.
"What about you and Alex? You two seem to make a good couple." Amelia teased.
"What? There is nothing going on with me and Alex!" Daniel insisted.
"I've seen the way you look at her." Amelia said continuing with her teasing.
"Pis off!" Daniel commanded.
"All right. Sorry for only asking you a question Mr Moody Guts." Amelia said mocking her twin. Daniel was about to push her, but then Vlad came whooshing in front of them. "What do you want now?" Amelia complained.
"I want to know why you two don't like mum." Vlad answered. The twins groaned. "Groan all you like. You two are still going to sit at a table with mum to sort this out! And it shall take as long as it takes!" Vlad told the twins.
"No way! I am not going any where near that fur-ball lover." Amelia yelled at Vlad.
"Me two." Daniel said, agreeing with his sister because he felt the same way.
"You two will both do as your told!" Vlad ordered as he whooshed between them and grabbed their wrists of they couldn't run off. Then he whooshed them both upstairs were Magda Westerner was sitting at the table waiting for the twins. Vlad placed them down on two chairs opposite Magda. Both of the twins tried to run away but Vlad rolled his as he grabbed each of his twin siblings by the shoulder and forced them back into their chairs.
"Hello." Magda said nervously as if she was only just meeting the twins.
"Shut it!" the twins said at the same time. Vlad, who was sitting at the end of the table, glared at his siblings for there rudeness. There was complete silence from everyone for at least 5 minutes. The twins kept giving Vlad can-we-go-now? looks and Vlad gave no-you-can't looks in return. Magda decided to break the silence.
"Why do you two hate me?" she asked.
"Why not?" Amelia and Daniel said at the same time not really answering there mother's question.
"What did I do wrong, as a mother?" Magda asked rephrasing her question.
"Everything!" the twins said at the same time once again and Magda looked hurt but Vlad however didn't care any more. 'At least mum and the twins were talking' Vlad thought. Magda needed to ask the twins a more complex question were she would get a proper answer from her twin son and daughter.
"Can you be more clear on what you mean?" the mother of the twins asked.
"You were such a bad mother we were force run away." Amelia replied, giving her mother a there-does-that-answer-your-question? look.
"You two didn't run away! You were taken by the high council, because they found out about me and Patrick." Magda explained.
"Yeah and who do you told the high council?" Amelia said pointing out what was now obvious.
"You? You told the high council about me, Patrick and Wolfie, when you knew that if you did you would be taken away from me?!" Magda asked shocked and hurt at the same time.
"It was Daniel as well. AND it was his idea." Amelia explained quickly sharing out the blame.
"Hey!" Daniel said hitting his sister in the arm. "We were supposed to keep that a secret!" he whispered in her ear..
"Don't hit me!" Amelia said sharply as she hit her brother back.
"Stop it you two!" Vlad ordered, before what the twins were doing turned into a fight.
"Why? Why would you do what you did to your own mother?!" Magda asked. Vlad was as shocked as his mother on this subject but didn't show it as he was more interested in the fact that the twins and their mother were finally getting somewhere.
"Because we were sick of it!" Amelia explained in little detail.
"Sick of what?" Magda asked.
"Don't make out that you don't know!" Daniel told his mother.
"Don't know what?" Magda asked, getting irritated. Either twin answered, but Vlad could see Amelia's face getting redder and redder with anger every second and saw her head turn away as tears fell down her face. "Answer me!" Magda ordered after 5 minutes of silence.
"I did what I did, because of you!" Amelia suddenly yelled. "I hate you because Patrick used to hit me and Daniel, for no reason half the time and YOU did nothing about even when I yelled right in your ear! Patrick used to hit us until we cried then he hit us more for making too much noise, and YOU STILL did nothing! And on the day the high council were taking us away me and Daniel were packing our things and you did nothing to fight for us, and me and Daniel walked past yours and Patrick's room and we heard you tell Patrick that you were glad that we were going. And that as the point were Daniel and me decided that we HATED you and didn't love. So just get out of my life and stop pretending you don't know why I HATE you!" Amelia screamed though tears, and she ran out the room not caring what Vlad would say. Amelia was running to her room and on the way there she ran into The Count.
"Hey you watch it!" The Count said warning his step-daughter.
"No you watch it! I HATE it here and I HATE YOU!" Amelia yelled at her step-dad. She got to her room and slammed the door open. She went through the door then slammed the door shut and ran to her bed and cried into her pillow. She couldn't block out the memories any more. She remembered all the times P-a-t-r-i-ck had hurt her and her brother. And everything she remembered it was like the real thing all over again. Amelia didn't know who it was but she heard someone come in.
"Go away!" Amelia sobbed into her pillow.
"I only wanted to know if my little sister was alright." Vlad told his crying sister.
"Well I'm not okay. Now bog off!" Amelia shouted, as she turned to her side to glare at her brother.
"I'm not going anywhere until I'm certain you are alright." Vlad explained.
"I'll be all right when mum is gone." Amelia told Vlad. Although vampires don't breath Vlad took a deep breath.
"Mum is staying." Vlad told his sister.
"What?! No! Why is is she staying, this time. I don't care about her. I don't love her. I NEED her out of my life!" Amelia yelled.
"Mum knows that she has been a bad mother and she wants to make things right." Vlad explained but this just made his sister even madder.
"Well it is too little too late! If she wanted to make things right she would of done it years ago. And she would of actually visited me and Daniel when we lived with our dad!" Amelia screeched, sitting up crossed-legged in her bed. Shouting so loudly that Magda, Ingrid, The Count and Renfield could hear what she was yelling from the front room. "Vlad please. If you care about me..make..her..leave!" Amelia said as calmly as she could.
"I'm sorry Amelia I can't let you and mum continue with this sort of relationship." Vlad told Amelia even though he knew it would hurt her dead heart. Vlad then got up and left the room.
An hour later
Amelia finally decided to go downstairs to the front room. She was still upset but she knew that she at least had one sibling who was never going to let her down-her twin brother Daniel. Amelia sat next to her twin.
"Are you okay now?" Vlad asked although he knew what the answer was going to be. Amelia didn't even say a word, she only gave her older brother a does-it-look-like-it? look. "So your not talking to me now..." Vlad continued and Amelia looked at him as if he had just pointed out the most obvious thing in the world. "...oh how very mature." Vlad added sarcastically. Amelia still said nothing. She gave her brother a just-shut-up look. Amelia had already decided that she wasn't talking to Vlad until Magda was gone for good. Or until she made up with her mum. 'As if that's ever going to happen!' Amelia thought.
