I'm typing this as my family's at the park. Heheh... anyway, hope you all enjoy.
It had taken him a bit to figure it out. A bit longer than he would've liked. But he finally had it. Dusk finally knew how Dean escaped that trap. It couldn't have been more obvious.
The tall vampire began banging on the princes door, running on furious fumes. He couldn't believe the boy was actually dumb enough to let that psycho bat out of the devils. Why would he?! Didn't he care about what that jerk DID to Fatch and Thatch?! Didn't he care that he'd almost killed them, and landed one with a missing eye and the other in a depression clinic?! This wolf was down right STUPID sometimes!
Finally the door was answered. And instead of Jake answering it, it was his mother. Who looked down right annoyed. Dusk blushed bright and soon looked down, chuckling softly.
" S-sorry ma'am. "
He apologized lightly.
" I'm afraid I forgot Jake lived with you and your husband again. I'm sorry for disturbing you... "
The woman's face softened a bit now, yet she still looked a good deal bothered.
" It's alright Dusk. "
She said softly.
" However, what's so urgent you felt the need to bang on our door? "
" I-I ah, I m afraid I must speak with Jake. "
Mary now looked a bit worried, her left ear twitching.
" Is he in trouble? "
" Ah, well, you see... "
Dusk stuttered as, yes, in a way he was. With him. But he didn't want to worry someone as sweet as Mary. That would be mean. He couldn't tell her why he wanted to speak with Jake. He'd really just come her to scold him and maybe... make sure he regretted his action. But again he couldn't tell her that.
Turning a little as his eyes had settled on something, he found Jake beginning to head for the stairs when their eyes met. Jake almost immediately looked panicked and BOLTED up the stairs. Dusk, now feeling down right enraged, turned into a bat and flew around the woman, soon shifting back and dashing after him. He wouldn't let that mutt get away with what he did.
Soon he reached the others room, banging on the door and DEMANDING he opened up. Of course this caught the attention of the rest of the family, and Dusk soon felt the woman (Mary, Loreli and Jocelyn) clinging to him and telling him to stop. While John simply stepped to the side of him, glaring spitefully at him.
" What the hell are you doing Dusk?! "
He spat, looking very close to punching his lights out. Yet Dusk remained unfazed, and instead KICKED the door down, resulting in the girls shrieking and Jake giving a doggy yelp from within the room. The vampire soon marched in and picked Jake up by the shirt, lifting him up close to his face and glaring spitefully at him.
" Alright you d*** mutt! Talk! "
Dusk growled, swearing his eyes would've turned completely red by now if they could.
" Why the hell did you let that psycho b****** out of the d*** devils trap?! "
" Dusk Ramirez! "
Mary snapped, sounding madder than Dusk had yet to hear.
" Language! "
" Dusk put me down! "
Jake snarled, baring his fangs as if to be intimidating. Yet Dusk simply laughed to it.
" Then talk! Why did you let Dean out of that trap?! "
" Dean?! "
Loreli yelped, getting Dusk and Jake to look in her direction. She looked... positively shocked.
" Dean Shadows?! Dee-Dee...? "
" Yeah. "
Jake chuckled.
" It's Dee-Dee sis. "
Loreli almost fell back it seemed, lost on a daze. Dusk soon turned to Jake, dropping him on his rear before bending down beside him, glaring at him.
" Tell me. Tell me why you let him out. "
" Isn't it obvious you annoying oblivious b******?! "
Jake bellowed, getting Dusk to recoil greatly. The wolf began growling, clearly having had enough of Dusk's behavior.
" He's our friend! And he has been since we were kids! He used to come over all the time for dinner or just to hang out! We... "
Jake looked down for a moment before turning towards his parents, Dusk following his gaze to find the pair looking seldom. John soon held his wife close and finished for his son.
" We wanted to adopt him at one point. Take him away from his terrible parents. "
Dusk blinked, feeling amazed by what he'd heard. This... they wanted to take him away from his family and adopt him? ... How bad could his family have been?
Slowly, Mary spoke up.
" We... planned on taking him away the night we died. He had been beaten pretty badly by someone... someone he said was a giant. And when Jake brought him to us John rushed him to the hospital. "
" He... passed out in my arms. He was losing so much blood, it was scary... "
" It all went down hill from there... "
John, Mary, Jake and Loreli slowly entered the vampires room, AMAZED he was awake already and looking terribly confused. Jake smiled and soon climbed up on the bed, sitting beside his bestie, smiling brightly. No doubt relieved to see Dean alright.
" I'm so glad you're awake Dean. "
Jake said softly, his small tail flicking cutely. Jake's hair was a little more tidy at this young age, he wore a light purple long sleeved shirt with a silver collar and silver rims on the rims. He also wore dark blue jeans, yet had no shoes.
" You had us worried. How are you feeling? "
Dean blinked and looked around, looking truly worried and confused. At this age of 11, Dean wore a black long sleeved shirt with a white skull on the chest and red on the rim, red bracelets and a red choker, light black jeans and black boots with a red rim at the tops.
" Ah... Wh-where... am I...? "
Jake frowned to this, realizing that Dean may have taken a good hit to the head too. He had a broken right arm for sure and had a few band aids here and there, but other than that he was alright. Alive.
" You're in the hospital Dean. "
" WHAT?! "
Dean yelped, turning to Jake as if in a way of pleading mentally he'd heard wrong. Yet despite the shocked expression Jake wore, the other could tell he'd been telling the truth. To the Moralez family's amazement, Dean began to down right PANIC to this news, grabbing a fist full of his hair with his still good left hand.
" N-n-no, I... I can't be here! I-I can't afford it! I CANT! "
" ... Sweetie pie... "
Mary asked gently, hoping she didn't push a button as she asked this.
" Don't you mean... your parents can't afford this? "
" N-no... "
Dean said softly, eyes wide with tears pricking at the corners of them.
" I-I mean me... I work. I pay the bills. Only I... I just got fired from my job, and now I'm... I'm screwed... "
The vampire child looked down and began shaking horribly now, looking close to having a mental break down as he continued.
" I got expelled from school, I got fired from my job, and now I have to pay a hospital bill with no job and no insurance... AHHH! "
Dean screamed, clenching his eyes shut as tears POURED out of them and roughly grabbing his hair once more, bending down more and being wracked with tears.
" Why is this happening to me?! M-m-my parents are gonna KILL ME! Th-they're really gonna KILL me this time! I'm so DEAD! *sobs* "
The family could only watch on in horror as the poor soul wept his heart out, Jake trying fruitlessly to comfort him. John and Mary left in disgust at the boys terrible parents.
" We didn't realize until we were in heaven, but Deans parents had heard our plans to take him away from them. Hence, they killed us that night. "
John finished, bringing Mary close once more and gently stroking her hair.
" ... Dusk, you can think whatever the HELL you want about Dean. "
Dusk turned around to face Jake, finding the wolfs head hung low, eyes not visible.
" But I know the real him. I can see the true heart of others. I can tell he's really a kind, sweet, generous person deep down. And you can say anything you want about me letting him out of the trap. But if I could, go back in time... "
Jake looked up now, glaring at the vampire now with no irises and his yellow sclera glowing bright.
" I would do the same d*** thing. I'd do anything for my best friend. Even if it meant standing up to someone like you. Now, do yourself a HUGE favor buddy, and get the hell out of our house. "
Dusk said nothing to this, simply staring wide eyed to everything before... leaving without a word. And none of the Moralez family cared. For as long as they lived, they wouldn't allow Dusk to talk about Dean in such a way.
I hope this chapter was good. I spent longer on it then I technically should've.
