Chapter Three – Fate seems inevitable
I woke up at 1pm in the afternoon; I was still recovering from my ordeal with the freaky grandpa in the alleyway. And to my surprise I was still wearing Paul's jacket. I took it off and stared at it for a while, it was really soft. I put it down on my bed and went to get changed. When I walked back into my room I just eventually took in my surroundings, I had a window at the back end of the wall and the wallpaper was light purple with a beige carpet. I shook my head and walked out of the house, retracing my steps back to the boardwalk. I sat down on a bench holding the jacket in my arms. The sun was still shining in the sky, and it brought warmness with it too. I walked all around the boardwalk looking for Paul, but I couldn't find him. It became 5pm when I eventually gave up so I went and got a burger from a stall and I washed it down with a can of coke. I never let go of the jacket all day, I was worried that someone would try and take it from me. I had no luck in finding him, it because 8pm now. I guess I'd have to try tomorrow. I stood up and began to walk but then someone had tapped me on my back and I turned around to find the curly blonde from before with the colourful jacket.
"Paul's friend I presume?"
He smiled. "I've come for his coat."
I handed it to him. "Why couldn't he come?" I asked.
He shrugged. "Grounded, oh and my name is Marko."
"Alex, and grounded?"
"Yeah." He chuckled. "He's a badass."
"Figured." I laughed.
"Well I have to go, Good bye Alex."
"Bye Marko."
He smiled and walked away, leaving me stood there gawping. I pulled myself together and walked home, when I got in the house I had a flashlight shined in my eyes.
"Harry, what the hell?"
"Light bulb kinda went 'boom'" he said, emphasising on the 'boom.' "So 'cause of that all the lights have gone out now. I've rang up the technician, should be coming tomorrow morning though I'm at work so could you stay and sort the guy out?"
"Yeah alright." We stayed downstairs for a while, holding our hands out just in case we walked into something. There was nothing in the fridge so we ordered a pizza and sat in front of the TV stuffing our faces. It was getting to 11:30pm now, so I decided to hit the hay.
"Night Harry."
"You're going to bed?"
I nodded, "Long day."
He laughed, "Alright, sleep tight; don't let the bed bugs bite."
"I'll try." I laughed with him and went up stairs, going into the bathroom I brushed my teeth and hair, slipping into some pyjama bottoms and top. After I was done I went into my room, closing the door behind me. I sat down on my bed and I felt something thin and papery, I looked down and saw a piece of paper it read:
"Thanks for returning my coat, Love Paulio."
I giggled and put it under my pillow, I turned to my left and the window was open. I got up and shut it, shivering. There was only one way he could have gotten into my room without Harry and I noticing and that was through the window, though I was wondering how the hell he got through it. I shrugged and lied down in bed, tucking myself in. Before I fell asleep I was thinking, I'd only been here for less than a week and I've made a fantastic friend, been warned about dangers, been stalked and yet I was still here. Apart from that, all I could think of was Paul, how his pants clung to him like they were painted on, how I just wanted to play with his mane. I thought about how he looked in my head, but what I didn't realise was that I was drooling! If someone had been in the room I would have been so embarrassed. I wiped my mouth and decided it was best to sleep rather than dribble over the mystery boy named Paul.
I woke up rather early the next day, it was 9am. I went down stairs and got some cereal, there was another note on the counter. It said that the technician would be here at 10:35am. I shrugged, ate my cereal and went upstairs to get changed. I had just put some jeans on and a vest top with a cardigan. By the time I had washed my hair and brushed my teeth I ran downstairs there was a knock at the door, I opened it and it was the technician.
"Hello," I smiled.
"Hi, so your lights went out?"
"Yeah, come in."
"Right then."
"How much does it cost?"
"It's been paid for, so don't worry." He was rather miserable; he wore all blue and some black gloves. It took him roughly 1 hour and 15 minutes to complete everything then when he went I relaxed on the couch and started to doodle in my sketch pad for a few hours.
Paul's POV
I didn't like this feeling I was getting, it was like I wanted to be with her, but stay away from her at the same time. Alex, she'd stolen something from me and I wouldn't get it back – and that was my do's and don'ts, my rights and wrongs. And because of this, I stood up to the head vampire and gotten myself grounded. It sounds like I'm blaming her, but I could never blame her. I was in the cave, sat on the couch, throwing a ball up and down in the air.
"Pauuull, play with meee?" Laddie begged.
"Yeah, alright. What'd you wanna play kiddo?"
"Will you throw me about in the air?" he grinned sheepishly. I smiled, picked him up and threw him about and he screamed joyfully. There was no making him tired, and thanks to the vampire strength I had I could do this for hours on end. I put Laddie firmly on the ground.
"Pauuullll, I wanna go again!"
"Kid, go and chill out for a bit. I'll play with 'ya later."
"Fine." He sulked and ran off into the cave. It was only 10pm, I was getting bored. Marko had gotten my jacket from Alex as I couldn't socialise with the girl for a while, though I didn't care what the head said, I was leaving her a message. I wrote on a piece of paper and ran out of the cave; I ran it to her house instead of taking my bike. It made too much noise. I climbed up the wall and into her room, it was tidy and it had her scent all over the place. I sat on her bed and stared at the pillow until I heard her voice from below.
"Night Harry."
"You're going to bed?"
"Long day."
He laughed, "Alright, sleep tight; don't let the bed bugs bite."
"I'll try." she laughed.
I heard her soft steps coming up the stairs so I put the paper on her bed and jumped out the window, and ran back to the cave. I wouldn't feed tonight, I'd wait for tomorrow. I guess you could say her innocence had rubbed off on to me. When I got back no one was there so I sat on the couch and took out a cigarette and had a good long drag, much needed. I was sat there for a few hours, and then the guys came back.
"You ok Paul?" Marko asked, he was closer to me than David and Dwayne, I could have fun whenever I liked with Marko, play with some humans like pets – 'ya know, the usual.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I grumbled.
"Paul." David said, I looked up instantly. "You need to control yourself."
"Yeah I know," I sighed. Marko had a pigeon perched on his arm, he grinned at me.
"Have you eaten anything tonight?" Dwayne asked, overcoming his silence.
"I had a cone of chips earlier, other than that, no. I just don't feel like it." I shrugged.
"Paul, you better go and feed tomorrow then." David stated.
"Yeah I know, don't worry. I will." I wish they'd just lay off a bit, I know they were only being concerned but it was getting on my nerves. I sighed and went into a cavern, just off the main one in the cave. We all slept there, and we all felt like we had a built-in timer in our heads, we'd know when the sun came up or when the sun went down without having to go outside. I guess it's another one of the advantages you get when you're a vampire. I flipped up and caught hold of a pipe with my feet, my place was between David and Dwayne – if I was to be next to Marko we wouldn't stop play fighting, we learned that when we first became friends so David moved me. Sort of like the bad-ass in the class. The cavern was dark; though my eyes sought it was though someone had lit a candle in the room. I closed my eyes and fell asleep instantly.
Back2Alex P.O.V
It was 6pm, I had spent most of the afternoon drawing so I picked up my satchel and left a note for harry saying that I'll be back later and I set out to the boardwalk. I went to the chips stand and bought a cone of chips and sat down on a bench staring into space. Some guy was playing a saxophone again further down the boardwalk; I could here people laughing and having fun. I stood up and began walking down the boardwalk, I had nothing to do and I was getting sick of it. The buckle on my satchel had come undone so I started to fumble with it to sort it out, not watching where I was going and I bumped into a tall guy, around 17-19 years old, he had dark brown hair and it came up to his neck. He was looking at me with wide eyes.
"Oh, sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going." I said quickly and walked past him, though he grabbed my shoulder and pulled me around.
"You shouldn't hang around with them." He said in a husky voice.
"Them?"
"David, Marko, Dwayne and Paul."
"Who're you to tell me who I can and can't hang out with?"
"Just trust me; you'll end up getting killed or being turned into one of them if you stay around long enough."
"One of them?"
"Yeah, they're va-"David had cut him off.
"Surely mike, you don't intend to scare our new little friend off?" he grinned. "I know you weren't cut out for the spot, but not everyone shares your opinion on things."
"David, you're a killer."
David shook his head. "That was a joke Mike, to scare you. Me and the boys were just having a bit of fun." He chuckled. Paul had slung his arm around my shoulders and gave me a peck on my cheek and whispered in my ear. "I missed you, babe." He grinned sheepishly as I pushed him away playfully chuckling. Though I saw a stern look from Dwayne out of the corner of my eye. I swear Dwayne was telling Paul to quit it, the look in his eyes just gave it away… it was slightly creepy.
"Come on." Paul said steering me away from the tension between the boys and the guy known as Mike. He had his arm around my shoulder, though he was looking back at David. "You hungry?" he said, grinning.
"I had some chips around an hour ago." I chuckled.
"Well will you come for a drink with me?"
"Yeah alright." He took me down the boardwalk and onto the front until we saw a bar named "Gar's Crib" what a weird name. He took me in and we sat in one of the booths, he sat back and looked very relaxed – like he owned the joint.
"So what would you like to drink babes?"
"I'll just have some coke please." I smiled.
"Fair enough, your loss." He chuckled and went to the bar and got us our drinks. I took a sip and cleared my throat.
"Who was that guy?"
"Mike?" I nodded. "Just an old acquaintance me and the boys hung out with, we were trying to get mike in our group but he just rebelled and left." He shrugged. "That's all I can tell you for now."
"Why?"
"Let's just say curiosity killed the cat." He looked miserable now.
"Cheer up Paul" I nudged him. I thought a minute, "I'm the cat?"
He nodded, "Some things are just better off not heard, I would like to tell you but its David's call." I patted him on the shoulder then looked at my watch, it was nearing to 11pm now.
"I think it's time to go now Paul, getting late."
"Yeah, I have stuff I gotta do." I stood up and walked outside and waited for him.
"Where are you off to then?" I asked.
"To the boys, we have something what we do everyday. It's like a constant tradition." He grinned. I thought I was better off not knowing so I chuckled.
"Thanks for the drink, see you tomorrow?"
"Yep, definitely. Wouldn't have it any other way." He smiled and wondered off. I was stood in a gaze at his back; I shook my head and took the opposite road, walking back towards the alleyway. It always made me uneasy. I walked down it, half way and I heard a can rattle, I thought it was just the wind – but how wrong was I. I took a step further and found myself being thrown back towards the wall, I blacked out for a second but when I awoke no one was there. I shook the drowsiness off me and walked back home though when I got there, I found a little surprise…
