Chapter Nine—The truth
Chris went home and said, Family meeting right now please!
All the Blacks are coming down the stairs. They sit down on the two big couches. Chris counts everybody. It's eleven people, counting him.
Chris start talking. Chris said, Ashley knows you are vampires and half vampires.
Taylor said, WHAAAA?? She knows we are vampires?
Chris said, yes Idiot! You said "Good dreams" and you did it. She had a dream about Taylor and Quinn and Kasey are vampires. She asked me what her dream mean, and I tell her that it's true, you guys are vampires.
Taylor said, I didn't say it that way! You tell her our family are vampires!
Chris said, I'm sorry, I can't lie to her. I love her!
Taylor said, you mutt!! You love her? I love her too! You said, I like Bella, not her, I said I like Ashley! You didn't say that, I did!
Chris said, I do love her. I am trying to be like everybody else. You know I love her, bloodsucker. If you love her, why don't you tell her your're a vampire in the first place?
Mrs. Black said, okay boys, stop fighting! I ground both of you boys!
Chris said, yes M'am. Taylor said, We're bringing this outside!
Mrs. Black said, Taylor Timothy Black! Stop fighting your brother! He is not a mutt, he is your brother!
Taylor said, he is a mutt, I don't care if he is my brother, he is not my brother, my brothers are on the couch!
Mrs. Black said, Taylor Timothy Black, go in your room, stay there!
Taylor said, no, I'm not going in my room—I'm not like five!
Mr. Black said, don't disrespect your mother! Go to your room and stay there! I'm not treating you like five. I'm treating you like young man.
Taylor said, Sorry Mom. Sorry I didn't respect you. I'll go in my room. Taylor made a dirty face at Chris.
We hear the door close with a bang.
Mr. Black said, Sorry Chris, go ahead.
Chris said, Ashley knows Kasey and Quinn are mermaid vampires too. Ashley likes vampires and werewolves. She reads the Twilight books on tape. She knows about vampires and werewolves.
Mrs. Black said, she likes vampires?
Chris said, yes.
Chris said, she won't tell anybody. I will tell her not to tell anybody.
Mrs. Black said, You can bring Ashley over here.
Chris said, I can? Sweet!
Chris said, Ashley's smell will not hurt your throats.
Kasey said, yes, he's right, I went in her house and her smell is not sweet like blood.
Mrs. Black said, I want to meet her. And Mr. Black said, I want to meet her too. I will bring her here in a few weeks.
Each of the kids said, I want to meet her too!
Robin Black, who was eight, said, You want to marry her Chris?
Chris said, Maybe…..not yet, kid! When I am twenty years old maybe.
Robin said, Please Chris? I want to have another older sister!
Not right now, kid, I'll tell you first when I want to marry her, okay?
Robin said, okay…..
Nick Black, eleven, said, Eeeewwww! I'm thirsty, I'm gonna get a cup of blood! And a steak cookie! I don't wanna hear about gross stuff!
Chris said, yes you will in a few years! Go ahead and get your cup of blood and your steak cookie too and come back out here. I have more to say. I'm not going to gross you out!
Nick said, fine…I'll come back out. Don't gross me out about love stuff.
Nick is back, on the floor with his cup of blood and is eating his cookie.
Chris said, your hormones will kick in later Nick! If you want to talk about girls later, you can ask me.
Ewwwwww! Said Nick, don't talk about girls! He take one more bite of his steak cookie.
Tim Black, the father, said, Your older brother is right.
Nick said, I'll talk about that later, when I'm thirty!
Spike, who is thirteen, said, Yup, Chris is right! My hormones started kicking in a few weeks ago!
Nick said, ewwwww okay, I don't want to hear that! I'm going to my room. I'll bring my cup of blood and my cookie with me!
He went in his room.
Chris said to Spike, you did have your hormones kick in? You like a girl at your school?
Spike said, yes! I like ALL the girls at school!
The father said, you didn't tell me about this! Your hormones kick in?
Spike said, I talked to Taylor about this.
You can tell me, his dad said.
Robin said, ewwwww! I don't want to hear about boy troubles!
Okay boys, stop talking about hormones please! said their mom, Buttercup Black.
All the boys said, Okay Mom, we'll stop talking about hormones.
Chris said, I am leaving now. I am going back to Ashley's house.
Mr. Black said, you staying over another night at Ashley's house?
Chris said, yup, I am. I want to stay away from Taylor.
Mr. Black said, you are best friends, you guys grow up at the same time, so why don't you guys get along?
We love the same girl at the same time, Chris answered.
Mrs. Black said, Will you please get along? You're brothers! Before Ashley come, you're best friends!
Chris said, I do have friends, I have Kasey, Quinn and Ashley and Robin. Also Spike and Nick. I'll try be big guy, not a little guy like Taylor is. I'll be a better man.
Mr. Black said, Don't have sex with Ashley. If you do, use a condom.
Robin said, what condom is?
Mrs. Black said, I'll tell you later about it when you're ready to have sex.
Robin said, what sex is?
The father answered Robin's question. When you're ready to have sex, you make love, around seventeen or older.
Robin said, okay, I'll wait until I am older.
Spike said, I'll wait until I am older too.
Chris said, yes I'll use a condom, Ashley has some in her room.
The mother said, Robin, will you go in your room please? And Spike, go in your room too?
We hear Spike and Nick's door close.
Taylor come downstairs, get a cup of blood and a cookie too. Mr. Black said, If vampires don't have the right condoms, they will break very easy.
Chris said, ohhh! Werewolves condoms won't break?
Mr. Black said, I don't know, I'm not a werewolf!
Taylor said, what you guys talking about?
Their father said, Son we are talking about condoms.
Taylor said to Chris, You are having sex with Ashley? Don't have sex with her, I'll kill you, dog!! Don't put your dirty hands on her!
Chris said, I will have sex with her when we are ready to have sex. Your have a problem with that, Bloodsucker?
Chris said, bye!
Chris called Asley's home phone. Ashley answered it.
Chris is walking to his car using his cell phone.
Now this is Ashley.
I said hello in a high voice.
Chris said, hi Baby!
I said, Hi idiot!
He said, Will you stop calling me idiot please?
I said, Oops, sorry Chris! You are coming back here?
Chris said, yes I coming back to your house.
I said, You have a fight with Taylor?
Chris said, yes—how you know that? Oh yeah—you're a psychic witch, you can see me in your mind.
I start laughing. Your family want me to come over to meet me? I asked.
Chris said, yeah, in a few weeks.
I said, I am alone, no one's at home, Sabrina is shopping with my uncle and Aunt Autumn. I said, we can make out, your favorite thing to do!
Chris said, I am coming there now!
