Night world- chapter 3
(Levi's POV)
Levi left Jade's home in a happy frame of mind. He scanned the area for possible humans who could be watching, not seeming to sense any he took off at the enhanced speed only a vampire could achieve thinking about that day's events and smiled thinking of Jade as the trees and shrubs passed him in green and brown frosty blurs. So Levi had a soulmate…that seemed like an appropriate word to describe the bond between he and Jade. Their relationship was new, he had only met her that day but, he could feel the strength in their union, the passion behind the kiss they shared, the faith Jade had in him and his for her.
In truth Levi was terrified. What if they get sentenced to death because of his selfish need to be with Jade? This girl with the beautiful…everything meant more to him than his own life. She was his world now. He would never abandon her but Levi was determined to-if it were necessary-die for Jade. The only thing to do now was to tell Kalie. This scared him a bit; Kalie was like a force of nature, she may be extremely tiny but she can sure hold her own. Would she accept Levi's love for Jade? Or would he be forced to go up against her in battle? He was not sure of the outcome but he was unwavering on the fact that he loved her and he would not let anything happen to that beautiful human girl, he had promised Kevin that much and he was absolutely determined to keep that promise.
As Levi neared his new home in the little town of Evanston he readied himself for whatever reaction Kalie and perhaps his other siblings had and the things Kalie could possibly throw at him. Could he face all four of them in combat if it came down to it? Jag, Ayden, Celest, and Kalie- killing machines by nature. Levi had always been obedient to his older sister but no more, he had to face her, he had to face the storm. There was no other option. Eternity was stretched out in front of Levi and now was the time to decide what he was going to do with his limitless life, and Jade was in it weather Kalie liked it or not.
Levi's speed slowed to human pace as the house came into view. With a grip on the silver doorknob Levi squared his shoulders and crossed the threshold of their old Victorian house to find Kalie facing him in one of the big black leather chairs, arms crossed over her chest her blue eyes glinting silver. Great. She was angry.
"Hello Levi" Kalie said acidically, her jaw locked "where have you been dear brother?"
She was clearly not in a great mood. Levi approached Kalie warily watching every move she made tensed as if for war.
"Kalie" he nodded "I have something I would like to discuss with you"
"I know" she replied as she stood from her chair. "LEVI ANTHONY HALE! HOW DARE YOU DISSOBEY EVERY GOD DAMNED NIGHT WORLD LAW IN THE BOOK, ALL FOR A STUPID VERMIN HAVE I TAUGHT YOU NONTHING?? OR ARE YOU SIMPLY STUPID???!!!" Kalie screeched as she advanced on Levi who stood there crouched and unfazed by her sudden outburst.
"You won't ever speak of her as a vermin again" Levi hissed dangerously on the verge of an eruption himself. "She is more than just a stupid vermin Kalie"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Kalie's POV)
The fervor in Levi's voice stopped Kalie dead in her tracks. She remembered using that tone when her mother and father wouldn't allow her to see Ayden all those years ago. She knew what Levi was feeling but her behavior about the girl was for Levi's own good. He could- no he would die for falling in love with her. The laws of Night World are very clear: humans must never learn of our existence. And members of Night World must never fall in love with a human. Violate the laws and the consequences are terrifying, and Levi has broken just about every law there is.
"Kalie" Levi said plainly irritated at her zoning out. "I'm sorry but my resolution stands. Jade means the world to me. I have thought about it all day and there is no other alternative Kales we have to change her. Maybe we could go to-"
"Whoa whoa whoa Levi! You speak of changing the girl-"
"Jade" Levi stated promptly
"Jade then, you speak of changing Jade like she's already agreed to it!" said Kalie who sat back in her chair feeling less angry then she had when Levi first came through the door.
Levi's eyes dropped to the floor, he was thinking of a plan to get Jade to consent. Kalie giggled slightly at his concentration when Jag Celest and Ayden walked in.
"Is it safe to come in? We thought for sure you two were going to tear each other to shreds!" Ayden laughed. The sound warming Kalie more. When it came to Ayden she was about as rough as a fluffy bunny's tail. She stood hugging Ayden while Levi still thought about how to change Jade safely.
Kalie knew then that Levi was right, changing her was the only option; his love for her rang true. Her senses told her it was something more than love, if that was possible. She felt Levi would give his life for this girl without a second thought.
"So what's the crisis that nearly brought you two to scrap Kales?" Ayden asked curiously intertwining their fingers as he sat with Kalie on his lap in her leather chair.
"Little boo-boo here has fallen in love with a human" Kalie stated with mock joy using Levi's nick name
All three of their jaws dropped simultaneously.
"Levi!" Celest gasped in shock
"oh my god dude! Are you serious?! You're gonna get sentenced to death man! And so is this girl!...wait it is a girl right? Please don't tell me you're gay!" Ayden yelled trying to be funny "That would explain why you never had any girlfriends"
Levi snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Ayden dully. "No you dumb-ass! I am not gay!"
"Ayden Levi now is not the time, this is serious" Jag
"Don't you think I know this you twit? I'm trying to think!"
"Oh and I haven't even told you the best part yet! He's going to change her." Kalie said still with false Joy.
"Shut it Kalie! This isn't as serious as you guys are making this out to be! So she's human, so what?! The laws haven't stopped it before. Don't you ever listen to Night World Radio? Night people all over the world are falling for humans Even Thierry, Night world's king has a human soul mate. The world is changing and if you want to be left behind in the old ways then so be it but I am not going to sit around while revolution is brewing I'm going to fight for Jade." Levi declared, willing his siblings to understand.
Kalie knew this day would come sooner or later. "It's time to find and join…circle daybreak" Kalie forced out. Her whole life has been about keeping order in the Night World, following their rules so nothing else bad could happen to the little family they established. Kalie despised circle daybreak but for Levi's sake she would learn to tolerate them and try to understand their ways and beliefs.
The sensation of eyes watching her brought Kalie out of her reverie. She looked up to see everyone staring at her some with shocked faces and Levi with a look that said 'You're absolutely freakin' brilliant!' "What?" She asked faintly annoyed.
After a long silence Jag was the first one to speak. "Do you truthfully believe that we should do such a thing? Daybreakers? We're going to be Daybreakers?! Kalie have you completely lost it?"
"No Jag I'm being serious. We have to do this for the sake of Levi…and Jade" Kalie smiled "this will be a good thing" she announced, trying to convince herself more than anything.
"I'm up for it!" Ayden shouted happily looking into Kalie's eyes.
"I am as well" Celest uttered in a shy voice.
'The girl's been with is for over three centuries, you'd think she'd be comfortable with speaking out loud to us' Kalie thought looking at her younger sister.
"So am I" Jag sighed "But only because Celest could get hurt and I won't allow that to happen" He was starting to sound like Levi.
"Good, now that we've all consented there is only one thing left to do" Said Kalie smiling at Levi
Levi tilted his head "What is that Kales?"
"Well we all must meet the girl we're risking our lives for. And we are dying to see what about her is making you love drunk" Kalie giggled.
"Alright…" Levi said hesitantly "I'm going to see her tonight anyhow. I'll bring her a little after that"
A/N: O.O bringin' her to meet the family! This should be fun! Aww not rents sadly though. So how'd you like it? Please review! Short, I know but I promise the next chapter will be longer!
