Morgead Blackthorn tensed at the sight of his Soulmate. She was so beautiful, red hair falling in beautiful natural curls to her lower back, silver blue eyes fierce and beautiful, she was an image made from the Heavens, just right now her attitude wasn't exactly the brightest.
Last night was the Sahmain party, and she had one too many glasses of wine……
"Hey Morgy! Want to go toilet paper Thierry's house?" she staggered around their room, she had been this way ever since 5am, and now it was 9am, and he was wondering how long her drunkenness could last, boy was she going to have a hangover in the morning…….
And not to say this wasn't torture for him either, he had to deal with a crazy and staggering Jez for the past 4 hours, he was exhausted.
"Jez, honey, we live in Thierry's house." He said while rubbing his temples.
"And that's why he'll never suspect it was us!" she retorted, throwing he hands in the air as if the statement was obvious.
"Jez….." he began, but she cut him off.
"Come on, Charlie! Let's go to candy mountain, Charlie!" she said in a British accent.
He sighed, "Maybe I should call Rashel up here to smack some sense into……"
"CHARLIE!" she cried, "CANDY MOUNTAIN CHARLIE!" she yelled in his face.
"Are you serious?" he yelled to the Heavens, but his only angel was down here, begging him to go to Candy Mountain.
"Come on!" she grabbed his arm and swung him out the door, pushing him down the stairs.
Nilsson, Lupe, Thierry, Hannah, and Iliana looked up from cleaning the mess the party had made.
"How is she?" Thierry asked, studying Jez.
"Drunk….." Morgead answered; the smartass that he is.
She pulled him out the front door, "CANDY MOUNTAIN IS JUST OVER THIS BRIDGE, CHARLIE!" she yelled.
"What bridge?" he looked around, almost forgetting his Soulmate was drunk.
Quinn, Rashel, Galen, and Keller were standing guard, and they burst out laughing at the sight of a drunk half-human, half-vampire.
"That's a first." Rashel said, still laughing.
"Ha, ha very funny….." Morgead began.
"WE'RE HERE CHARLIE, THIS IS CANDY MOUNTAIN!" Jez screeched sat the top of her lungs, mental and physical.
The standing guards plugged their ears, Morgead was almost glad that they had to deal with this torture too, but no one should have to deal with a drunken Jez, life was too short.
Just then, Jez passed out, hitting the grass with a hollow, 'plop.'
Morgead sighed and bent down to pick her up. No matter what, she was never going to be allowed to drink wine again. It just wasn't working with her being half-human and half-vampire.
Quinn, Rashel, and Keller snickered; Galen looked at Morgead in pity.
He ignored them and went back into the mansion.
"It's about time." Lupe snorted.
He sighed and took Jez upstairs to their room and laid her down on their bed.
Jez stirred and her silver-blue eyes flashed open, "Morgead?"
"Jez…." He asked cautiously, not sure if she was still drunk.
"What happened?" she rubbed her head.
Morgead breathed a sigh of release, "You took me to Candy Mountain……"
"I don't remember doing that." She arched a perfect eyebrow.
"Do you remember anything from last night?" he asked, not knowing his words had a…..well, a different meaning, too.
"Oh, god, Morgead, NO!" she screamed, flying up in bed, giving her a head rush, but she hardly cared, "That's what you meant by 'Candy Mountain?', you're such a pervert, you know?" she rattled on, and Morgead was somewhat amused, "And why? I mean, I know I've known you since I was 5, but come one!" she shook her head in disgust, "Why?" she asked again.
Morgead laughed, "Jez, we didn't do anything." Her fierce eyes flashed silver.
He explained all about what happened from the previous night, all the way to the time when she passed out.
She shook her head in disbelief, "Why didn't you smack me, or something?"
He pursed his lips as if he were thinking, then smiled, "We're Soulmates."
