Chapter 9 guys, so as far as you know Randy does not know anything about John's secret, but he will suspect John is hiding something extremely important to him and he will start to investigate about it, will he find out? Hope you like it, enjoy :)
Over the following two months John and Randy spent almost every moment from the day together, John had become great friend with Mikhaila, Lexi, Mark, David and Nick after what had happened in the beach, also John was getting better when it came down to control himself when he was with Randy or with anyone else, human contact was helping him too much, but he was also careful, he always had a breaking point, and that meant Randy and him hadn't made love yet, he could resist his craving when he kissed and touched Randy's skin for some time, but sex was completely different subject, his emotions would he rising, all of them and that means that accidentally he could hurt Randy or even lose control and let his instinct drive him, he didn't want that, he wanted a normal relation with Randy, the man he was in love with, the man who was changing his life, unaware of his darkest secret, it was better that way, but deep inside he knew at some point the time for the truth would arrive, maybe when he suffers an injury and Randy notices the quickness in John's healing, or maybe when Randy would be getting older and John would still look as a 32 years old man, or why not, how about if someone tries to kill John shooting him in the head and when Randy is heartbroken and thinks his boyfriend is dead magically the bullet comes out from John's head and he stands up without a scratch, he would have to tell Randy the truth, but not just yet, he knew by fact that when the moment came Randy would be frightened, even terrified of him, and after telling him the truth, he would do absolutely nothing, he would let Randy take his own choice, stay with him, accepting him for what he really was, or letting Randy go, not compelling his love, or compelling him to forget his secret
Randy was more than happy with John, he was all that he always had been looking for and much more, with John, Randy felt safe, in peace, protected, but more than anything, loved, but Randy was also very curious and secretly he had become obsessed with finding out what was what John was hiding from him, what could be so bad for not telling him? He already knew about John's supposed phobia for blood and his supposed allergic to the verbena, he wanted to know, but at the same time he knew it was wrong, he was distrusting John and he felt guilty for that, he was suspecting many things, but he had no proof to any of them, he had convinced himself to just let that go and focus in how much John loved him and how much he loved John
As the first sunrays started to illuminate the floor of John's bedroom Randy slowly opened his eyelids, exposing his beautiful icy blue eyes to the morning light, the white sheets covering the lower half of his body, he had no shirt, just boxers, a strong arm holding him close to the warm body where he was cuddled, Randy smiled as he saw his boyfriend John next to him, still slept, almost naked just wearing black briefs, softly he rested his head in John's muscled chest, enjoying the feeling of the smooth skin under his cheek, he planted soft kisses in the bare skin and pleased his ear in John's chest, listening John's heartbeat, slow and very relaxed, he was softly breathing, Randy just smiled, that was the second time he had slept in John's bed, of course they had just slept in the other's arms, nothing more, but it was ok for Randy, be with John was good enough, he could not be happier "I love you" Randy whispered in John's ear and then he rolled his body and found himself watching John's left hand, he softly kissed it, not wanting to awake his boyfriend, he was gorgeous sleeping, he watched his middle finger and stared into the black ring with silver lines and rare symbols, it was a beautiful ring, seemed to be really old, John never took it off, not even for sleeping, since Randy met John there was not a time that Randy remembered John was not using it, it shone a lot with the sun, but it was also a bit dirty, Randy was sure he had seen liquid jewelry cleaner in the room's bathroom, so carefully he slid the ring off John's finger and went to the bathroom, quickly he found the liquid, he took a cotton ball, he wetted the cotton ball with the blue liquid and started to clean the ring, but he stopped when he heard a scream, a painful scream, he went back to the room, and first thing he noticed was not anymore in the bed which was covered by the sunrays, he was under it, he thought he was looking for the ring under the bed, but it was more kinda he was hiding from something
"My ring Randy, where's my ring!?" John said desperately almost shouting
"I have it, it was dirty and. . ."
"Give it to me, now!" John was freaked out
"Ok, ok, here it is" Randy said, John extended his hand from under the bed, then he came out from under it, but didn't even noticed Randy's presence, he ran downstairs, Randy did not understand, what had he done wrong? John had never talked to him that way, why had he freaked out that way?
Randy stayed in the room for several minutes, but then he decided it was time to go down and look for John, if he had done something wrong he wanted to fix it, he did not want that to be their first fight, specially not for a simple ring, he looked for John in the kitchen, in the living room, In the dance room, in the front and backyard, even in the bathrooms, but he wasn't in any of those places, then Randy thought John might be upstairs, so he made his way to the marble stairs, but then he saw the bookshelves next to the stairs and one of them actually seemed to be a secret door, it was lightly opened, so Randy pushed it and saw wooden stairs which led to what seemed to be the basement, but when Randy went down it was a huge place, like an underground part of the house, could John be there?
There was a corridors, so Randy started to walk, there were small rooms, like cells, Randy was not surprised, the house was really old and he might be in the place where the family kept the war prisoners during the civil war, and why not even the presumed witches if the house existed in the 1600, Randy was a history lover, that was not a secret, and he found the place where he was fascinating, there were many old and dusty old things, but soon he found something that was not old at all, it was a big electronic ice-box, why would it be there? Or more important what was inside of it that John preferred to have it in the basement, he opened it and almost paralyzed when he saw what it was there, blood bags, a lot of them, chills were running through Randy's body, what that meant, it was hard for Randy about it, but there was a possibility that John was a blood trafficker, again the curiosity to know what John was hiding from him returned, but this time it was not just pure curiosity, it was imperative for him to know, what about if his thoughts were true and John decided to take all of his blood out when he was sleeping, but on the other hand, John was so nice so caring so loving with him, full of light, with a pure smile and with an angelical aura, Randy was so confused, he ran out of the basement and closed the door, soon he heard John approaching to him, he was nervous
"Hey baby, I'm so sorry for what happened upstairs, I should have never talked to you that way, I don't have the right to, and I never will. . .I freaked out, it's just that I never take off my ring, my mom gavr it to me, and the simple thought of losing is. . ."
"It's ok, don't worry" John expected Randy to make a move and kiss him, but the younger man almost did not make eye contact with him
"Hey baby, I'm hungry, do you want something to eat"
"No, I'm not hungry; I'm running late, you know today I offered myself as a volunteer for the new local history museum and I really need to get ready
"Ok then go and get ready handsome"
Randy did just that, he went upstairs and dressed up as quickly as he could, he went down stairs and was about to leave John's house
"Are you not gonna say goodbye?" John said from the kitchen, that always scared Randy, John was able to hear even quiet sound; Randy went to where John was at
"Sorry I completely forgot" Randy said kissing John quickly
"Bye, see you later"
"I'll call you later. . . I love you!" Randy had closed the door and he didn't heard John's statement
Randy arrived to the museum, all he wanted to do was forget what he had seen earlier that morning and work a few hours in a creepy could help him, he was waiting in the reception for someone to attend him, after a few minutes a man with a tux, a big fake mustache and a top-hat arrived to the place
"Good morning, you must be Mr. Orton
"Yeah, I am, but just call me Randy"
"Well Randy, my name is Chris, and I'm glad you offered as volunteer for today, nowadays people don't care too much for history"
"I do, and I can't wait to start, what am I gonna do?"
"Well, follow me" both started to walk "It's a simple job, you are gonna be an executioner, and you are gonna be in the decapitation area, but don't worry, you're not gonna cut anyone's head off, or say anything, you just have to stand in the same place during the exposition" They entered to a room and Chris opened a wardrobe and took a long and black tunic
"Here's your costume" he said giving it to Randy and then he took a long axe from the props "And this is your killing weapon, but don't worry, it's fake, Randy took the axe, it was lighter than it seemed to be
"I'll leave you alone, so you can change yourself" Randy took off his shirt, put on the tunic and five minutes later he came out of the dresser
"Great, follow me" They went to Randy's place, it was creepy and interesting at the same time, there were medieval torture instruments, women dressed up as witches, and guys dressed up as vampires and werewolves, they finally arrived to Randy's station, it was a bit grotesque, there was a lot of fake blood in the floor and ancient pictures of how decapitation was
"You're gonna stay here, if you need something I'll be right in front of you, I have to explain Salem's supernatural past in the second half of the 1800
"Ok let's begin"
Soon the people started to enter to the museum, parents with their kids, teens from all ages, Randy noticed that his job became harder than he had thought, the axe became heavier and it was tough to stand in one same place for hours, but at least he could hear Chris' explaining what he had to explain to the people, it was really interesting, Randy had learned all of it after hearing it for hours, he almost had forgotten what had happened that morning in John's house until he heard Chris' last explanation to the last group of the day, that time, he made questions and talked about things he had not all the other times
"Hello folks, you are the last group of the day, hope you had liked I, now I'm gonna talk you about our loved Salem town, as creepy as it is we love it, so, I bet that no many of you have heard about all the things that happened in the second half of 1800, we all have heard about Virginia, Washington, New York, but what about Massachusetts? What about Salem? Anybody knows?"
Just a small guy in the group raised his hand "Vampires? Is that true?"
"Well, as the witchcraft nothing is proved, but you are right my friend, in the second half of 1800 people said vampires were even under the rocks, and Salem was not the exception, there are histories about vampires here on Salem as there are in other parts of the country, of course the historians will deny what I'm gonna tell you, but there are diaries that say that before during and after the civil war there did were towns which suffered the attack of the demons of the night, including this, in fact there are records about missing people and many animal attacks, or at least that's how the secret council tried to cover the vampire victims and do not cause chaos in the town
A small blonde girl had raised her hand "Secret council?"
"Actually it wasn't secret, people did know it existed, we know it existed, but extracurricular activities did were secret, it was conformed by members of the main families at that time, only them and their families knew about the vampirish threat, in fact it is said that in 1896 there was a huge vampire hunt and killing, and it is said that those vampires were burned in some place in this town
"And who were the members of the council?" A young lady asked
"That was the part I was about to talk about, the main families of that time were the Cenas, the Ortons, the Bensons, the Bowditches, the Landers and the Page family, therefore the council was conformed by Archibald Orton, Joseph Bowditch, Roderick Benson, Damon Page, John Cena Sr. and Marcus Lander, as you can see we have here two pictures" Chris said pointing the tow pictures, one was on his right side and the other on the left "The first is from Archibald Orton"
Randy looked carefully the picture from his ancestor, he was very alike his father, eyes, hair, face, but what was more noticeable was the medallion he had hanging on his neck, a golden chain, with a crimson octagonal jewel in an eight arms golden small star
"And in the second picture you can see John Cena Sr. he and Archibald were the leaders of the council"
Randy had already seen that picture in John's house, that was John's ancestor, his grand, grand, grand, grand, grand, grand father
"And what happened with those families?" A girl with glasses asked
"Well we don't have too much time left, but I'll answer your question, actually some of the members form the Lander, Page, Bowditch, Benson and Orton family are still out there in our country, in fact if you'd like to turn around there you'll see our executioner, under that tunic there is a modern decedent from the Orton family "The last one" Randy thought
"And what about the Cena family?" A kid asked, the question captured Randy's attention
Chris sighed and the spoke "It's a tragic story, it is said that Johns Cena Sr.'s wife, Carol died giving birth to her last child, the couple had five sons, Dan, JOHN, Matt, Steve and Sean, but all of them died before the XX century, the last one, John died in 1996, none of them were married and neither had children, at the end John Cena Sr. died in 1900 because of heart attack, their blood line ended there since John Cena Sr. had no brothers or Sisters, there are no modern decedents from the Cena lineage"
Randy was stunned, that was impossible, Chris' information had to be wrong, the Cena bloodline could not be extinct, then how was John alive, he was sure John did not lie when he told him John Cena Sr. was his ancestor, besides they really resemble to each other
Back in the dressers Randy was getting Ready to go, Chris had entered to the room
"Hey you did a great work today, it would be great to have you working with us"
"Thanks, you did a great job too, you really know how to explain something" Randy replied as he took his bag
"Hey can I ask you something?"
"Sure Randy, go ahead"
"What you said about the Cena family, is that true?"
"The Vampire stuff? I don't think so, I know a bit about that, but I not a believer, but the whole family dieing at the end of the XIX century, that is true"
"Are you sure?" Randy said in disbelief
"Yes, but if you don't believe me you can go to the history department in Harvard University in Cambridge, it's not too far from here and we get most of our information from there, ask for Nigel from the history department, he'll help you
"Ok, I. . . I think I will"
Chris gave Randy the number where he could call and then Randy left
Once in his car he dialed the phone number
"Good evening, Harvard University, what can we help you?" A women said
"Good evening my name is Randall Keith Orton, I'm looking for Nigel, from the history department and I would like to make an appointment to visit that same department"
"What would be the reason of your visit to us?"
"Research"
"When would you like the appointment to be?"
"As soon as possible" Randy answered
"Well, Mr. Williams is free tomorrow, so If you'd like to come. . ."
"Yeah, perfect I'll be there tomorrow"
"Have a good night Mr. Orton"
"Thank you" Randy hung up the phone and then he saw John was calling him in the ID caller, Randy was about to take the call but he did not, instead he turned off his phone and went to his home, he knew John would be worried, and wouldn't stop calling him and then he would go to check if he was alright, but for the first time since he'd met John he didn't want to see or talk with him, he wouldn't until he find out what John was hiding, and he didn't know how, but he knew whatever he find out about the Cena family in the history department would be the answer to all his doubts, so he packed clean clothes in a small bag, his tooth brush, toothpaste, hair gel, sponge, soap, shampoo and a towel, he grabbed his wallet, the keyed from his house and from hi 2010 orange Dodge Viper, he locked the house door and he left, making his way to Cambridge
He arrived to the town at 11:00 pm and rented a room in a small motel, there was no need to stay in an expensive hotel since he would stay for a night or two, Randy took of his jeans and shirt and slipped underneath the sheets, he tried to sleep, but he couldn't, not only cause the bed was hard as stone, but cause he didn't stop in whatever John's secret was
So that's it for now guys, Randy is getting closer and closer to find out about John, how will he react when he do, what will happen to their relation, and how their lives will change afterwards? Thell me what you think guys, please review :)
