Disclaimer: I only own Devon, Elizabeth, and Sebastian
Author's Note: I'm sorry for the long wait guys.
It was my first night here. I had just stretched up from my crouch by my bag. I had a pair of skin tight jeans and a black tank top in my hands. I walked with sure steps into Deacon's bathroom. Needless to say my coming back had ruffled the feathers of Mercury. She didn't like me being here as much as she didn't like me. Well I figured she'd get over it. I walk out of the bathroom all changed and ready for anything when I hear yelling. I walk out into the living room to see Mercury yelling at Sebastian for no reason and Deacon wasn't even in the room.
"Hey enough there is no need to yell at him." I said.
"Who do you think you are?" She growled at me.
"I'm his mother." I growled back. Mercury looked at me for a few seconds. She then looked over at Sebastian.
"Are you sure because I can't tell the difference I mean he looks almost like Deacon and nothing like you." She said with a smirk on her face. I lunge for her but I never connect with her because someone grabs me around my waist. I turn my whole upper body to see Deacon.
"What has you ladies in such a kill all mood?" He asked.
"She yelled at Sebastian for no reason." I growled.
"It's no need to get your feather ruffled." He said. I hiss and break out of his grasp. I turn away from him to look at Sebastian. He smiles.
"Come on Devon lets go get something to eat and I can put your pent up anger to good use." Deacon purred to me. I nod with a smile on my face.
"Think you can handle my anger?" I asked.
"Can you handle mine?" Deacon asked.
"We'll see won't we?" I asked.
"Of course." Deacon said. He turned to Quinn.
"Keep an eye on Sebastian and make sure that no harm comes to him." Deacon said before he wrapped an arm around my waist and led me out of the room.
"We've got to work on your temper." Deacon said.
"I thought you liked my temper." I said.
"Times change." Deacon said.
"Not us though." I said. Deacon smiled.
"Us as a couple or us as vampires?" Deacon asked.
"Both or am I wrong about us a couple?" I asked.
"Devon I can't tell you anymore." Deacon said. I nod. I could help but feel hurt by that statement. I hadn't expected for everything to be the same but I hadn't expected it to hurt so much.
"So where are we going hunting?" I asked quietly hoping my voice wouldn't give away what I was feeling inside.
"I was thinking we could go to a club and see what we picked up." Deacon said. I nodded my head. I didn't know how long I could do this. I hadn't expected Deacon's remark to hurt so much but it had. We headed for the club. Once there Deacon and I separated. He went to go find a woman and I was hoping to find a male but I wouldn't do this if Deacon hadn't expected me to. What I hadn't expected to see was Blade in the club. Our eyes locked and I instantly took a random man's hand and take him into a dark corner. There I latch onto his neck and feed. It had been so long since I've had live blood and when a hand touches my waist I start and turn around to see Deacon.
"Come on you can take your food but we've got to get out of here." Deacon said.
"Why?" I asked.
"Blade is here." Deacon said.
"He is?" I asked.
"Just take your human and let's go." Deacon said. I nodded and as he took my hand and I took the human's hand. We step outside of the club and I look at Deacon.
"You want to share him with me?" I asked. Deacon looked from me to the human who was still dazed from my first bite. He nodded and we got back into the car and he told the drive to take us to back to Deacon's home. I relaxed against the seat and watched Deacon and the human. We get home and the three of us get out and head up to Deacon's room. We had just finished with the human and I had laid on Deacon's chest. I wasn't going to ask about what was plaguing my mind. I can feel the sun coming up so I fall asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~During the middle of the day~~~~~~~~~~~
I hear a faint ringing and dive for my bag. I pull the phone out and answer it as I move to the bathroom.
"Hey what do you need?" I asked quietly.
"I'm sorry I don't know." I said.
"He's being very careful and he hasn't told me anything yet." I said.
"I'm hoping he'll let me in on it tonight." I said.
"Give me a couple of more days." I said.
"Talk to you then." I said as I hung up. I crept out of the bedroom and tucked the phone back into my bag. My hand brushes the silver stake and I hissed. I had forgotten that it was in there. I look up and notice that Deacon was gone. I sigh and crawl back into the bed and try to fall asleep. I couldn't do it for the life of me and it was bugging me. I try to get comfortable but that doesn't even help. I sit up and wish that either Deacon or Sebastian was here to bring back memories of the old days. As if my thoughts have conjured him Sebastian staggers into the room looking like he couldn't sleep either.
"Hi sweetheart." I said. He nods his head and just crawls into bed with me. I lie down and wrap an arm around him and hold him close to me. Just like that we fall asleep and sleep through the day.
