Chapter Six: The Movies

Reeka slept the day away. Her only interruption was when Ryan called at 6:10. She tolled him that she wasn't feeling well, he offered to skip school and spend the day nursing her but she declined saying that she was just gonna sleep it off. Ryan agreed with her saying she was right and that he would be over at about 5 to see how she was doing. Reeka only agreed to it because she knew she could play it off as a stomach thing, she was a very good actress and could make her fake sickness seem real and no one would be able tell the difference except maybe Pip. He seemed to know everything about her and yet she hadn't really told him anything. She hadn't even told him her name but he still knew it. Reeka didn't know anything about him, well she knew his age and his name but that was it, maybe she could find out something about him later that day. As 5 o'clock rolled around, sure enough Ryan stopped by along with Andrew. Ryan's mom who absolutely adores her made her some home made tomato soup, it was quit delicious.

"So how you feeling Reeka?" Andrew asked with evident concern in his face and voice.

"Oh...I'm feeling better, but I still feel like I'm just gonna puke out my guts."

"I'm sorry sweetie." Ryan said with sympathy, he brushed a side a few of her stray hairs but pulled his hand away quickly. "Holly shit your burning up. Maybe we should get you checked out by a doctor."

"No, I'm fine and you know how much I hate doctors." Ryan pulled the blankets up further from her neck to her chin.

"Yes but if you need to then you have to go Reeka what if it's serious?" Ryan asked.

"Trust me I'll be fine." She said meekly. Andrew kissed her forehead.

"Wow you really are burning up...So did anything happen last night after I left?"

"Nope, nothing, I went to bed, I think I'm sick because of being exposed to the cold night air last night and the night before."

"I'm sorry this is entirely all my fault." Andrew said apologizing.

"No its ok, I'll be fine. I'm actually gonna go back to sleep here soon."

"All right see you tomorrow." Ryan kissed his fingers and lightly touched them to her lips. Andrew smiled and brushed her cheek with the back of his hand.

"Sleep well princess." Andrew said, Ryan made a funny face knowing that Reeka hated to be called that.

"Yeah you too." Reeka turned away from them and pulled the blankets up to her mouth. "I'll see you tomorrow." She mumbled threw the blanket. She closed her eyes and heard them leave. When she heard the front door close she threw the blankets off of her and jumped up. Reeka was already dressed and ready to go; she left her long hair down and wore tight black jeans but this time it was blue lace instead of pink, she also wore a long sleeved semi-tight medium blue shirt. Reeka went into the bathroom for one last look over. She looked fine. She then remembered about the heating pad under her pillow, she walked out of her bathroom to see Pip sitting on her bed. She gasped and jumped back holding her hand to her chest.

" 'Ello love."

"Holy shit, don't do that…..I thought vampires couldn't come in unless you invited them in."

"We can't, but your mat out side of your front door says 'all welcome', and you can't believe everything you see in the movies. Like the hole garlic thing, I can eat it and doesn't bother me I just don't like the taste personally, its to salty in my opinion, but I know some vampires who love garlic, oh and I can't be killed with a steak threw the heart, but I do bleed when I get cut just like a human only I don't die."

"Do you guys have rules, or laws or something like that?"

"Yes, there is a book of rules; there are also different groups and stuff. For instance one group feeds off of young women, another feeds off of holy people, stuff like that."

"If you feed off of the wrong type will you die?"

"No, But we wont like it very much."

"Won't you get in trouble for telling me this?"

"I could, and most likely would be forced to turn you if they found out; well either that or I would have to kill you." He stated calmly.

"Well that makes me feel really good, anyways let's go." He stood up and she noticed what he was wearing: dark blue jeans and a black shirt-that showed off his toned muscles-with silver writing on it, that read: 'you know you want this'. Reeka giggled when she read it.

"What, don't laugh at me." Pip wined.

"Sorry it's what your shirt says." She said happily.

"Huh…oh that. What? It's true." He pulled a fuck me face, and ran his hands down his body, causing her to give him a full hearted laugh. It was like music to his ears. "You should laugh more often, you'll live longer." He said smoothly. Reeka slowly stopped laughing, and looked at him.

"Let's just go." She said walking to her door. Once she got to it she turned and looked at him, and smiled. "Aren't you coming?"

"Why are we going that way, what about your parents?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

"There still sleeping there hangovers off. So they won't even notice I'm gone, at least until tomorrow morning if I didn't say bye to them. Hell they probably think I went to school today." He walked over to her, not only could he see but he could feel the heat coming off of her.

"Are you sick?"

"No, why do you ask?"

"Because your body temperature is rather high." He said with concern. Reeka ran back to her pillow and pulled out the heating pad she had forgotten about.

"Thanks for reminding me."

"Why did you have that in there?"

"Because I told Ryan and Andrew I was sick so I had to play the part, you know?" She said putting it away.

"I guess." He said shrugging. They then walked out side of her house.

"Hey, do you wanna walk or do you wanna take my car?"

"Lets take your car, it'll be faster."

"Oh so you don't wanna hang out with me, I see how it is." Reeka gave him a mock pout and turned her back to him. He chuckled.

"Of course I wanna hang out with you, you're awesome."

"Really?" She asked in a childlike voice with her back still turned to him.

"Yes really." Reeka punched the air and cheered.

"All right I'm awesome!!" She said jumping for joy while Pip laughed at her childish antics. She then led him to the garage. She ran over to her baby, it was a midnight blue Ferrari. Thank god for rich parents. She hopped in the driver's seat then got the keys from the center console, while he got in the passenger seat. Once he was in and the engine roared to life she sped down the road toward the movie theater.

Once there they decided to see the new Dracula film. Pip paid even though Reeka offered but he said that wouldn't be very gentleman like of him if he let her. They got some popcorn and soda then went to find seats in the middle of the room the movie was featuring in. As they were waiting for the movie to start the last people on earth Reeka expected to see walked in: Ryan, Melissa, Sarah, and Andrew. Reeka slide down in her chair hiding her face from view. But then the second worst thing that could of happened did, they all sat right behind Reeks and Pip. Pip sensed her uneasiness and looked around to see what the source of it was, and he frowned when he saw who it was. Andrew. Pip could only guess that the other guy who was with them was Ryan on account of the girl called Melissa had just called him that. The other girl who was with them looked about 15 but he didn't understand why she was with them, a little sister maybe? Pip leaned close to Reeka's ear and whispered:

"Don't worry they won't even notice us."

"I sure hope your right." She whispered back. A few minutes later the theater darkened and the movie started. Threw out the movie there were tons of screams and shouts from the girls, well that is with the exception of Reeka. She had stayed quiet except for the really gory scenes, and while the other girls were hiding there faces in the chests of there dates, she was saying 'cooool'. Pip found this intriguing and decided to ask her about it later on, after the movie. After the big finale of the movie where ironically the bad guys won instead of the good guys, Reeka and Pip hurried out of the theater before the others saw them.
