Chapter 3: New Faces
Vivian took another midnight run along the river Saturday night. She was in the zone. She wanted to change; she could feel it in her bones. Her blood was boiling inside her. She took a glance at the moon, and let the light shine through her. She was about to start her transform when she ran into something.
"Ow."
Vivian looked up, and saw a girl holding her head in her right hand.
"I'm so sorry." Vivian said helping her up.
"No, it was my fault." She said smiling. She had long, straight brown hair. She had hazel nut eyes to match her hair. She had a likeable quality to her. Even if you just met her.
"I'm Vivian."
"Christina." Christina finally took her hand off her head.
"So, what are you doing out here at midnight?" Vivian asked.
"I could ask you the same thing." Christina snapped. Vivian kind of stepped back. Christina giggled. "I'm just playing. I like to take midnight runs. I know it sounds crazy, but I love how the wind flows through me. And the sound of the water is so soothing."
"Me too. I was taking a run also. And I totally get what your saying." Vivian said smiling. Christina giggled again.
"Everyone looks at me like I'm crazy. You're the first person I've met like me."
"So do you go to that high school close by?"
"Yeah. I'm new here. You go there?"
"Yeah. I do actua-"
"So Viv, who's your new friend?" Finn asked. Shit, Vivian thought. Didn't he have some rabbit to kill or girl to screw? And not too long after Finn showed up, Willem jumped down from a tree smiling.
"Finn, Christina, Christina, Finn." Vivian said.
"What about me?" Willem whined.
"And this is Willem."
"I'm shaken not stirred." He said.
"Oooh, twins. You know these guys?" Christina asked eyeing them both.
"Yeah. They're my cousins."
"Good genes." Christina whispered.
"But you guys were just leaving, correct?" Vivian said in a pushy tone.
"No." they said in unison.
"But its way past your bed time isn't it?" Vivian taunted.
Finn popped out his chest. "We're men, we don't have bed times."
"Excuse us, Christina." Vivian said. Vivian walked a couple feet away from Christina with the twins.
"Go now. Or I'll tell Gabriel those comments from earlier." Vivian said.
Finn grinned. "You wouldn't."
Vivian returned the smile. "Oh I would. "Oh Gabriel, before you give me the greatest pleasure of my life I need to tell you something."" Vivian taunted.
"Yeah? Well Gabriel isn't even here." Finn said. Willem gave him a playful nudge in the arm and laughed. Vivian pulled out her cell phone. She was dialing. Finn and Willem waited nervously.
"It's ringing."
"Bull shit." Finn said. Vivian handed him the phone to confirm it's ringing. She took the phone back.
"Hey baby. Its Vivian. I needed to talk to you about Finn and Willem. You see earlier-"
Finn grabbed the phone and hung up.
"Alright. We'll go."
"Thank you."
Vivian smiled. She actually didn't even call Gabriel. She called Esme's cell phone knowing she wouldn't answer it. Vivian made her way back to Christina. Christina was still smiling. Willem took a glance back and howled at the night sky.
"Where are they going?" Christina asked.
"Oh, they probably have someone else's life to annoy, other girls to screw." Vivian said half joking and half serious.
"Well, I better get going. I'll see you Monday." She said.
"Later."
They both ran their opposite ways. Vivian was happy to know she just made a new friend.
When Vivian got home, Esme and Thomas were already asleep. Thomas has been sleeping over a lot lately. Vivian had no problem with it, but she always loved to taunt Esme at moments. Not to far away, she heard a sound. She ignored it, and went upstairs to her room. She heard it again. Vivian sighed. She walked to her window and opened it. She climbed onto the roof to find the Four.
"What do you puppies want?"
"Just came by to see our favorite cousin." Ulf joked.
"Hey Viv, why'd you have to go and ruin our moment with Christina?" Finn complained.
"I'm head bitch remember?"
"We were working out our charm. Just because you can't have us doesn't mean other women can't."
"More like don't want, rather than can't have." Vivian corrected.
"Don't be jealous Vivian. We always have love to give." Willem said smirking. Vivian snorted.
"Yeah. And since Gabriel isn't here, we can help you with that area of companionship." Gregory said with a naughty grin.
"I'll pass. Now if you don't mind, I would very much like to go to bed. So you all can go."
"And I would very much like you to be in my bed." Finn said.
"Want to say that again? Because my fist will be happy to pay your gut another visit. And it might miss if you catch my drift."
Sadly and slowly, the Four left. She laughed as she fell asleep in her bed. Everything seemed to be falling into place. Which means something has to go wrong. Right?
