CHAPTER 9: Family matters – vampires 101.
BPOV
I dug my heels in the soft ground.
"You never said anything about your family!" I looked down at what I was wearing. "And I'm in my pyjamas!" He shook his head.
"You're afraid that they won't like what you're dressed in?" His tone was mocking.
"And other things..." Confusion crossed his face.
"Other things? Have you finally decided to be scared?"
"No! It's just that...what if they don't like me..." Dean rolled his eyes.
"Geez, a piggyback no way, too scary. But a house full of vampires, oh yeah, but I'm scared they won't approve of me?!" I death-stared him.
"Thanks for clearing that up." I said coolly, walking towards the house. He caught the back of my shirt and pulled me into his arms.
"I love you." He whispered. The electricity from before was suddenly all around us. His smile grew crooked. My heart was pounding in my chest. He gently pressed his cool lips to mine. He suddenly scooped me up and raced me towards the house. I stared at him.
"That was mean." He chuckled.
"Don't worry, they don't bite."
"Ha. Ha." He was laughing when he opened the door. I took a deep breath. The inside was made of wood, beautifully carved. Amazing masterpieces hung on the wall. But what shocked me the most was that it was so open. My mouth hung open.
"You were expecting coffins and dungeons?" He chuckled.
"Not the dungeons..." I whispered in awe. The place was huge!
"This is one place we don't have to hide." I smiled he seemed so much more relaxed. "Come on, they're waiting." He held out his hand. I took it gratefully.
We walked through the huge archway and into what looked like a polished wooden dance floor. In the middle stood a couple. I looked in wonder. They were both so beautiful. The man had black tussled hair and a friendly smile. He didn't look a day over 30. The woman had bright eyes and her features were a bit fuller, but still amazingly beautiful. She glanced at Dean holding my hand and a huge smile spread out on her face.
"Brie, this is Chris and Esther. Chris and Ester, Brie." He gestured back and forth.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Brie." Chris said, still smiling, but he kept his distance.
"We are so happy that Dean has finally found someone." Esther said, still beaming, she too stood still. They were probably trying not to scare me. I smiled.
"You to, it's great to finally met Dean's...parents?" They all laughed.
"They like to think so." Dean's tone was mocking but there was a deep respect in his words. I smiled. Suddenly two stone arms grabbed me from behind. I screamed. Dean growled. I hadn't ever heard him do that before, it was spine tingling. A booming laugher sounded from behind me.
"You sure know how to pick them huh bro?" The arms that were wrapped around me shook with laughter. Esther's face was a mask of horror. Chris' was a scowl.
"That was extremely rude Joe." I was spun around to face my captor, a foot off the ground. A huge muscular figure stood before me, a smiled plastered on his face, he was just as beautiful as the rest of them, though I would never put him in that category.
"Aw, Emily said it was alright. But you do look pale, no you look like us!" His booming laughter shook the room. Suddenly three more white blurs appeared; two girls and one boy. The first girl was so pixy like she could have passed for Tinkerbelle. The next looked like she was everything thing guys drooled over into one, flawless. The boy was lankier then Dean and Joe and yet was just as muscular. He stood the farthest away, concentrating very hard on something.
"Hey Dean, it sounded like you were having Brie for breakfast and we were wondering if you would share?" Dean's stone feature shifted from anger to amusement. Lucky for Joe.
"Sorry, I don't believe there will be any left if Joe doesn't decide to let her go soon." It was true, Joe's grip was unbelievable, not to mention hard.
"Oh oh sorry." He let me go with a smirk on his face, I fell. Dean growled again, Joe laughed...again. The pixy raced in and caught me before I hit the ground. She took a deep breath before setting me on my feet.
"Dean's right, you do smell good." She smiled.
"Umm thanks?" My laugh was shaky. Everyone laughed along with me. Everyone except the other blonde girl, she just stood, glaring at me.
"How can you guys do this!" She finally screamed. "Everything we've worked for? Everything we love, could be gone in an instant because of this human." She hissed. "This is dangerous for us all. She's not one of us." Dean's growl was so ferocious that even I cringed back, suddenly a wave of calm spread over the room.
"Come on Brie." Dean gently picked me up from the spot where I seemed glued to and started to carry me away. I could hear angry snarls sounding from behind Dean. I couldn't believe I was the cause of this. I had messed up his life already.
We made it to the room and the tears were already making their way down my cheeks. Dean set me down.
"Dean I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry." I sobbed. Dean put my head between his hands and looked into my eyes.
"Brie it's not your fault. Rachel is the one who finds what we are the hardest. She's a snob, just ignore her, I do." He smiled. I tried to smile back. I finally looked around me; his room had gold walls and shelves lined with books. And a huge sound system, but I couldn't find a bed.
"No bed?" I looked down at what I was sitting on, a couch. Dean shook his head.
"Don't need to sleep." He smiled.
"What?! Ok I think you need to give me the down on vampires." He chuckled and raced around his room grabbing things. When he stopped he was facing me with a white board, a diagram of a human, and a jar of something.
"Hello class and welcome to vampires 101. How is everyone today?" He smiled at me. I laughed.
"Good thank you sir." He winked at me.
"So today we will be basically covering all the aspects of being vampire. One: the strength, speed, and other attractions. Second: the arsenal. And third: the genetics." I nodded. "Ok so One: vampires have more speed and strength then humans, this is because we are built to be hunters to overcome our prey. Like a lion and lamb. Everything about us invites you in, voice, face, even smell. Like we would need that." His voice turned gruff. I looked at him confused he just smiled in apology and continued. "The arsenal...the speed, no out running, the strength, no getting away, and then the teeth..." he flashed a smile of milky white teeth. I shivered. He laughed. "And last, but certainly not least. Venom." I nodded I was expecting this one, I had seen a couple of vampire movies, of course none of them was like the one sitting in front of me, in all his perfection. "This is 'supposed' to be used to paralyse the victim but it doesn't take that long til we're finished." He moved on to the next section quickly. "Genetics, we are mainly human, only with the little extra's thrown it, instead of have 23 pairs, we have 22 pairs of chromosomes. Umm...yeah that about covers is." I nodded, thinking. "Any questions?"
"You don't eat humans though...do you?" I stared at him, could my angel be a killer?
"You don't think so?" His tone was playful but his eyes were serious.
"No, because if you did. I wouldn't be here right now." He flashed a grin.
"That's probably true." I nodded, still thinking.
"So...umm...what do you...eat?" He laughed.
"We're vego's." I looked up confused. "We survive on the blood of animals instead of humans. We prefer to preserve human life." He smiled at me. I nodded. "Not the end of questions?" I shrugged. He groaned.
"What?" I asked confused.
"You have no idea how frustrating this is." He sat down next to me.
"What is?"
"Not knowing what you're thinking..." He said, closing his eyes.
"What I'm thinking?" My voice raised a few octaves. He opened one eye, then closed it.
"Oh yeah, I can read minds. And with just one touch, see their whole life story." I sat back, trying to process all the information. Suddenly the door flew open and the pixy from before burst in.
"Gosh Emily, don't you ever knock?" Dean sighed. Emily smiled.
"Aw Dean-o, I though you would have heard me?" She winked at me. I giggled.
"But where's the fun in that? You would have seen what I would do anyway." A smile slowly creeping onto his face, he opened his eyes to stare at Emily. "Oh, and you should explain that to Brie too." I looked at him confused. Emily turned to me.
"I can see the future....woo hoo." I could feel my jaw drop, I tried to compose myself. "Oh, and it was me who left the notes." I looked up in alarm. "Yeah, no offence but you have really bad fashion sense." I smiled in spite of my horror. She wasn't the first person to tell me that. Dean and Emily launched into a convocation that seemed a blur, I stretched myself out on the couch, content to listen to their beautiful voices. The last thing I remembered was being embraced by cold arms, then I drifted.
Hope you guys enjoyed :)
Review all you awesome people.
Much love.
