Disclaimer: sadly I do not own the wonderful characters from Twilight however I do own Gem and Dante.
ENJOY :D
Dante led me down the hall and to the lower part of the house and then into the kitchen. He opened the fridge and stepped aside.
"Holy insert word of choice here" my mouth dropped open, his fridge was full.
"Uhh I have to warn you I have a pretty big appetite," I said looking at him. Dante was leaning against the counter.
"Knock yourself out," He smiled, I smiled back and started grabbing the things I'd need for a sandwich. After the fifth he cut in.
"You're not full yet?" He asked.
"Psh no I'm just getting started," I fluttered back toward the fridge and grabbed a bowl of fruit and sat on the table. He sat across from me, just looking.
"Tell me about yourself," He said his voice soft like velvet I wanted to reach out and touch the words.
"Why should I?" I replied suddenly defensive.
"Because I'll figured out sooner or later," it wasn't Dante who had replied, I looked in the direction of the magical voice. Edward stood at the door with Bella on his arm. I frowned.
"It's not like you can read minds or anything, you're no Angel," I said and then felt a pain in my heart for mentioning my old times to the Flock. I looked back at Edward, he had a scary smile on his face.
"Omigwad, you can read minds?!" I asked in realization.
"Of course," He nodded joining us at the table. I pushed the bowl of fruit into the middle of us, just incase anyone wanted some.
"In that case, it's better if I explain," I said and started my story pretty much recapping my dream with more details. I paused every once in a while to pop a grape in my mouth and read their expressions.
"So he pretty much ditched me for the new comer, who I'm pretty sure is a spy from the School. In which case I hope they get dragged back, nope scratch that I hope Jay gets dragged back and never comes out. I hope they torture him a second time, and I hope Ari beats that crap out of him, but he won't because I would've killed the stupid wolf boy already." I pounded my fist on the table and crossed me arms.
"Hold up, you can sense vibrations?" Dante asked wide eyed.
"Yup, but I'm not getting anything from you, why I don't know," I shrugged.
"So theres this place called the School and they turn kids into animals?" Bella asked sounding disgusted, I nodded again.
"That's complicated," Edward said thoughtfully. I finished the fruit bowl and walked over to the fridge again.
"You're still hungry?" Dante asked surprised.
"I told you I have a big appetite and I haven't really eaten much in the last week," I said pulling out some cold pizza.
"SO tell me about you," I said in a level voice, I saw Dante exchange a glance with Edward from the corner of my eye. I looked up and their eyes were on me, "I'm very trustworthy, if that's the problem."
"How do we know?" Dante asked his eyes narrowing.
"I have wings, I need my secret kept so I expect you to not spill, in return I won't say anything," I said zipping my mouth, locking it and pretending to throw away the key.
"Well then, here it goes," Dante started, "my dad walked out on my mom when I was three and she struggled to keep us going. She worked about five jobs but the money didn't cover a lot. She died when I was ten, since then I've been out on the streets, that's where I met my boys. They were just like me, their parents either kicked them out or they lost them, the scary part was none of them were older than twelve," Dante looked away thoughtfully.
"We called ourselves Street Kings," he stopped and raised the sleeve of his black t-shirt, on his shoulder was a tattoo of a crown with a 'S' in the middle.
"I was thirteen my boys and I were minding our own business when this really gorgeous girl pass by, she was so beyond gorgeous it was inhuman," He smirked, "Like any other thirteen year old group of boys, well some of us were fifteen, we whistled her over. Usually we'd get a cold shoulder, occasionally the girl would finger us but any way this girl came right up to us. Her name was Cherry she was sixteen and lived in an apartment a few blocks away, she invited us over that night. When we got to her place everything just became a blur, we stepped in and then BAM!" He clapped his hands together making me jump.
"She was on us, we didn't have time to scream before she had bitten us, she ended up killing Devon and Jesse but she left five of us, Tyler, Jayden, D-man, Tyson and me. It was horrible, man it hurt like hell, and we thought we were dying. But the feeling wore off and then we became crazy. Cherry explained to us what we were, she told us she was sorry but couldn't help herself, the plan was to kill all of us but she changed her mind. We were so scared, we didn't know what to do so we just ditched her hoping that everything would be ok. But it was insane the craving for blood was so powerful-" Edward nudged Dante with his elbow and Dante quickly stopped and straightened up, "we followed our instincts though taking a human once every week for a few months and then we downsized to one every two weeks," He mumbled quickly and Edward rolled his eyes.
"We were a gang before now we vowed to stick together, it was tougher though, we got into arguments over nothing and we were never happy around each other. I wanted out. The catch was we all had a tattoo, meaning once you were in you couldn't get out. They put up a huge fight but in the end I won and got out. They told me to watch my back because one day, they'd be chewing on it. I'm sixteen I haven't had a collision with them in three years. I was walking around the woods where you were when Edward found me. He brought me back to Carlisle and I've been here for one year so far." Dante gave Edward a thankful look, but then his eyes turned dark.
"Just recently, I've been seeing signs that there coming back, it feels like there are eyes one me everywhere, I've noticed dark shadows in the corner of streets, people have started disappearing in neighboring cities, I know their out there, I'm just waiting for them to strike," Dante's jaw tightened and then a mixture of fear and excitement flashed in his eyes and then was gone. I chopped down my last piece of pizza, before I spoke, "Wow," Was all I could mange.
"That's all you can say?" Dante laughed.
"Well, you don't look like the type that wants to be comforted so that's out, and I don't think that saying 'YA you're a vampire!' is really the right thing, but if you want I can hide under the table and hope you won't kill me," I shrugged with a playful smile.
"You're not scared?" Dante and Edward asked at the same time.
"Maybe a little, I've seen some pretty freaky things before, but if it makes you feel better, you're in my top ten," I assured him popping a grape into my mouth. Edward and Dante looked impressed and there was a friendly smile on Bella's face.
"So you have no objection to staying here?" Dante asked. I straightened up and my jaw tightened. I wasn't completely sure I could trust these people, I didn't want to get too comfy. My heart was still trying to heal, I didn't it to be broken again anytime soon.
"Ahh I guess not," I started hesitantly, "unless it's an inconvenience in which case I'm fine sleeping in a tree," I finished off stretching my wings out, holding them too tight against my body was starting to hurt. Their eyes widen, my wings were pretty long 13 feet and pure black, with a freaky bluish tint, but I liked them.
"Get used to them, I'm not holding them back now that you know," I said shaking them out. Dante closed his eye and his mouth turned into a small smile, I saw Edward nod as well.
"What?" I asked pulling my wings closer feeling a little self conscious.
"You're no Bella, Gem but your smell is pretty sweet," Dante's eyes never opened. I coughed chocking on the air, "What?" I asked.
"Don't worry about, just don't do anything that will involve your blood anywhere near me and you'll be fine," He said in light voice as if trying to keep from laughing. I got up as well taking my dishes and putting them in the sink, I rolled us my sleeves and picked up the sponge to was them. Dante pushed me out of the way and then turned into a blur, before I knew it the kitchen was clean and the dishes were already drying on the rack.
"That was pretty fast," I said slowly, I looked over at the time, midnight. I wasn't tired but I wanted to sleep so more.
"Uhh aren't you guys tired?" I asked.
"We don't sleep," Dante shook his head,
"Are you hungry?" I asked noticing only now that none of them had eaten.
"Don't like human food," Edward and Dante replied at the same time, I nodded.
"So you don't sleep you don't eat, then what do you do?" I asked.
"Whatever we want," Dante replied posing coolly against the counter. I rolled my eyes, sensing a slight vibration outside, I was suddenly alert, I felt the whole room tense and then it was normal again. From the vibration I got it was small, my guess was it was a mouse but, I could always be wrong.
"Tired?" Edward asked Bella and I at the same time, we both nodded and I couldn't help but smirk.
"You can take my room," Dante told me already walking up the stairs, I followed. I looked back to see Edward and Bella walking out the door. I met Dante at the top of the stairs and he led me down a hall until we reached the last door and he let me in.
"Thanks," I mumbled softly dropping on to his bed my back facing him. I wrapped my wings around me automatically but something soft dropped on me, I looked up and Dante was leaving the room. I pulled the velvet soft blanket to my chin and sighed. I didn't like how I was becoming more open, but I wasn't stopping myself. With my luck all of this would only be temporary anyway.
Hope you guys enjoyed it was kinda long ;
