Penny
Boone had tore out of the room when he heard Chuck leave. It was like he was a little puppy following after his owner, except he wasn't going out of love or loyalty; he wanted to make sure Chuck wasn't doing anything fun like binge drinking without him. I started out after the both of them, but a loud crash downstairs stopped me. With the two of them gone, nothing was standing in my way. I could take over this army and rule whereever-the-fuck-ville we were without any competition.
I slammed the door and tried to lock it, but the lock had been broken long ago, either by us or because the condemned shack we called home was abandaned like a million years ago. Still, the idiots downstairs didn't seem to mind it. Actually, it seemed that even though everything in here was a piece of shit, they still managed to find things to break. The windows, the old furniture, the brickwork, each other – they didn't care as long as they were destroying something. I'm sure they were starved, or at least I hoped they were since I was, and I got to drink a lot more than they did. Chuck acted like he was above everybody else and most everyone agreed with that, but he was scared of me, so he treated me better than everybody else. That meant I actually got to go out hunting with him. If I wasn't one of the "elites", I would have taken my leave months ago.
I kicked the door open to the cellar and walked down to see the beginning of a fight between three of the male vampires. I didn't know when they had gotten here or what their names were, nor did I care, but I didn't want them killing each other. The less vampires that were alive down here, the less in my army. When the black haired one and the brown haired one started ganging up on the blond, I stepped in right before his head was ripped off.
"Shut up and sit down!" I screamed, shoving at the black haired one. "Stop fighting! I'm in charge now!"
My voice was high-pitched, loud, and terrifying. I grinned at how awesome I sounded. When I was a human, people made fun of how quiet I was, but now that I was a fucking winner of life, everybody gave me the respect that I finally deserved. Also, I quite liked going back to find those people who bullied me when I was a human, showing them just how wrong they were about me, then draining them completely. Then, I'd drink their families for good measure. 'Don't leave any witnesses.' That's what Chuck always said. I was happy to oblige.
I was going to like being in charge. Of course, what I was going to do with the twenty or so crazy-ass newborns who were strewn about the basement, I didn't know, but I'd think of something. Chuck said he was going to take over the town with them, whatever that meant. He was wrong, though. I was going to do that (whatever it was), not him. I guess he meant he was going to keep all the other vampires out, like the Voltinglers or whatever they were called, and live here forever. Who the fuck would want to live here forever, though? And what other vampires would want to come here? This place sucked. I had lost track of exactly where we are, but it was full of snow and the people tasted like they lived miserable lives. I didn't understand why we couldn't live in Vegas. I bet people tasted delicious there, and you'd probably get a buzz off of them.
'Stop. Get back to the matter at hand, Penny,' I told myself. 'Stop thinking in those terms. Chuck's not in charge. You're just letting him think he is so he doesn't tell the others to kill you. They're too dumb just yet to disobey him.'
My eyes focused back on reality when I heard a loud growl. The black haired newborn had shoved the blond to the floor and was stepping on his face to make his way over to me. I could tell that look in his eye; he wanted to fuck me, and I couldn't blame him. I took his lead and ran with it. "If the three of you stop right now, I'll let you all fuck me. Then, we're leaving this place and you'll be my army then, got it?"
It wasn't that I was particularly horny, but this was a win-win-win situation for me: it would stop the fight, it always felt great, and it would bug the shit out of Boone. I took my shirt off to get them started and immediately felt three sets of hands grab me. A lesser vampire would have been scared she'd be ripped apart, but if they started, I could just burn their asses til they stopped, so it wouldn't be a problem. Plus, I liked it a little rough, so I just laid back and let them have their way with me.
Right in the middle of switching positions, I heard someone come back in upstairs. I hoped it was Boone. For one, I wanted him to see me like this; two, if Chuck was back, it would totally ruin my plans of a coup. There was another slam and yelling started upstairs. Shit. They were both back. I guess I'd have to wait for another chance to take over. I had time, though, I supposed, being immortal and all. The sheer awesomeness of it caused me to start laughing out loud manically to myself while the three idiot newborns continued doing their thing.
