Long Chapter to make up for recent little ones.
Chapter Ten
Quinn POV
I didn't know how to respond to that. Hunter was a werewolf. They weren't like the half wolf, half human, standing thing's. They looked like real wolves. Hunter was back on two feet and walking bloody fast. She looked like she was barely even trying. Nobody asked any questions just silence. A long awkward silence. And my brothers all staring at Hunter's butt. I realised that the tree's were now leafless and just branch.
"What happened to the tree's?" Lucy asked. She seemed to be doing most of the talking, which was most nights anyway.
"Ryder burnt them and the house down." Blake said flatly. Everyone was silent from there. We were getting closer and closer to the thunder and lightning. Hunter stopped in front of a tall black fence, it was like one of the fences you see in really crappy horror movies about vampires. The gates blew open when Hunter was close, causing most of my family to jump. Behind the gates was a huge house. I was guessing the manor. Logan and Isabeau fell in love, not with each other but the house. They fitted in perfectly with Logan's old tops and Isabeau's dark corsets. We walked down a long path to get to it. The path had black rose bushes on the side's covering the whole front yard. The roses were also on fire. Literally.
"What's up with the roses?" Lucy asked. Oh god.
"Family crest." Ryder said. The manor was very english from the outside but black. It looked like the ones you see on halloween but this one would scare the crap out of you. Hunter stepped up on to the patio. The door opened silently to reveal a man with neat crisp white hair wearing a tux and white gloves. Butler. He stepped back and held the door open for Hunter.
"Mistress Hunter." He bowed to her as if she were royalty. Hunter stepped inside followed by the rest of us.
"Thank you Jeeves." She thanked him. Classic butler name. "These are the Drake's." She said turning to us as we stepped inside. The manor was massive from the inside too. The inside of the manor was very chateau de Versailles but more red and black themed. It gave a whole new name to haunted houses, except that there was barely a speck of dust anywhere. Mum and Dad nodded to Jeeves on the way in. It felt like you stepped into a horror movie. First thing you see was the giant black chandelier shaped as a rose hanging from the staircase. They seem to love the black roses. Isabeau and Logan looked like they could faint.
"Welcome to the Wild manor." Jeeves did a little bow. To your left you could see a massive library through two french doors. In front of you in between the two way grand staircase and through a large open door you could see a lit fire place and lots of Dad's "over the top thrones", Dad fell in love. Again. Hunter turned to the right, which I hadn't investigated yet. We began to walk towards a massive door. As Hunter approached it the door opened without a sound. Two maids held the handles of the door to a giant dining room. It was black and red furniture and everything. Another rose chandelier hung from the ceiling too. The dining table also had jugs and jugs of blood on it. It was nicely set out in antique looking glass's and things. It looked appetizing until me and my brothers practically attacked the table. It was all labeled and stuff. Just as I got my hands on a cup mom yelled at us,
"Boys!" We all put down the cups. Lucy, Isabeau, Solange and Keiren were standing next to her smirking.
"It's okay Mrs Drake. Sir Colsin brought back plenty this evening." One of the maids holding the door said. Sir Who?
"Jessie went and didn't tell me?" Ryder turned to her. Oh... One of Ryder's friends.
"He left a while after you left sir." The other maid said and did a plier. Hyacinth looked impressed with the manners of the maids.
"Did he get the right blood for me?" Ryder asked.
"Yes, but lady Rosa took it." The maid said. Ryder's face went cold.
"Bloody hell Alexis." He muttered to himself as he walked through another door into what looked like a kitchen. I hadn't even realised I was chugging down a glass of some of the best blood I have ever tasted.
"Aren't the Rosa's like evil?" Lucy asked.
"Not Alexis." Scarlett laughed.
"She can be sometimes. Especially when you hide her ipod and she hides your car keys." Ryder yelled from the kitchen as he looked through the fridge.
"Alexis went against her Dad's decision and we found her in the forest, so naturally we took her in." Hunter explained.
"Not very natural." Mum said as she picked up a glass.
"We didn't know that she was a Rosa for a while. But when we did find out we had already become attached to her." Hunter finished.
"What is this stuff?" Duncan asked after he finished some cow blood or something.
"The chefs mix it and add spices." Hunter said.
"You have chefs?" Lucy asked as she drank something very neon red.
"My grand mothers." Hunter answered.
"They don't look very old." Lucy paused and thought about this. Chef. Grandmother. Still Young. Vampire. "Oh." Was Lucy's response to her own question. Mum and Dad were actually drinking like there was no tomorrow too. The Wild's stood there silent the whole time as we chugged down as much as we could. I felt like I was on a sugar rush or something.
"Alexis!" Ryder yelled as he emerged from the kitchen.
"Ready?" Hunter asked as she turned on her heel. I felt like I could run the world or more. We left the dining room in a mess. My brothers looked more exhilarated than me. We strolled up the stairs.
"What did Alexis do?" Scarlett asked when we got to the top of the stairs. Logan and Isabeau could just about marry the house by now.
"She took all my fox blood." He said flatly. Scarlett smirked. The door at the top of the stairs were opened by the maids.
"Mistress Hunter." They both curtsied. Hunter nodded back. Behind the doors was the longest hall way in the world. It would be so easy to get lost.
"Wow." My whole family said at once. The long hall way was painted red and black. There were black roses on side tables, placed against the walls. Hunter walked down the hall way past a few rooms. The one long hall way led off to millions more. I was never going to remember all this. Hunter stopped at a door that had music blowing through the hinges.
"Alexis!" Ryder yelled as he knocked on the door. The door opened but there was no maid there. Creepy. I was either hallucinating or there really were things floating around the room. There were computers and laptops spread around the room on desks. Books and things were floating? Around the room. My family was speechless. A girl with layered shoulder long brown hair was typing something on her laptop. I don't think she noticed us. Things were still floating around the room. Her speakers were on full blast and deafening us all. The girl had a white lab coat on like uncle Geoffrey would wear, it showed off her long legs. I would stare but I was too busy admiring Hunter and the things floating around the room.
"Alexis!" Hunter yelled. The music flicked off. She kept typing.
"Yes?" She smirked.
"Where is it?" Ryder was first to ask.
"Where's what Ryder?" She asked still smirking. Suddenly a rolling chair flew past him and stopped right behind, who I thought was Alexis.
"The fox blood." He said flatly. Alexis was still typing and hadn't even looked at us.
"Where's my laptop?" She asked still not looking away from her laptop.
"Which one?" Ryder asked, looking around at the ones around the room.
"If you're not going to tell me get out." She said as she sat down on the chair that had flown over to her.
"Make me." Ryder said.
"Fine." Ryder was suddenly flying through mid air and crashing into a door on the opposite us. We all managed to dodge Ryder flying past. Alexis's chair spun around without her even touching the ground. She had blond highlights throughout her dark brown hair. She was wearing black denim shorts, which showed off her long legs, black converses and a shoulder off top that had a black rose on it under her white lab coat.
"Sorry about that. Hi, I'm Alexis Rosa." She said as she got off her chair and shook Dad's hand. Her eye colour was purple. A little odd but there was something evil in them. I know I probably sound like some crappy poet but it was true. Dad looked a little gob-smacked from the objects flying around the room. "I am probably freaking you out a lot right now." She said as all the objects lowered to the floor or a table.
"A little." Lucy squeaked.
"Incredible!" Uncle Geoffrey said as he pushed past all of us for the second time tonight.
"Yeah... As you can guess I have telekinesis." She said, not minding Geoffrey examining her.
"Teleki- What?" Most of my family chorused.
"It's a rare gift. You have the power to levitate objects..." After objects I kind of lost Geoffrey. Marcus sighed and stepped forward.
"She can lift things with her mind." He said as if he were teaching a whole lot of two year olds. We all nodded.
"I'm guessing your Marcus and Geoffrey?" She was right.
"Yep." Marcus sighed at his clueless family. Alexis scanned us all. She stopped at Connor, who was looking at her laptops.
"And you're Connor, right?" Connor came out of his day dream.
"What?" He asked. Hyacinth whacked him. "Excuse me?" He blurted out. Most of my brothers smirked.
"You're the one who like's tech stuff?" She asked. Most of my brothers laughed.
"How did you know?" Logan chuckled out.
"Your fingers are fidgeting from not being able to type or fix something. Your eyes have a twitch in them from staring at your computer screen too long and your hair is dry from not leaving your room for days." Alexis said as if it was a normal conversation. What the hell? My family's jaw's were on the ground, including uncle Geoffrey.
"You got all that from a single glance?" He asked shocked.
"Have you ever heard of dyslexia?" She asked.
"Yes, but you definitely don't have it." Duncan said.
"I did, when I was human but when I turned it became the opposite, so I recognize things about people or other things that vampires would never even take a second look at." She said. I wouldn't be surprised if I was in some psychiatric hospital right now and this was all a hallucination. Alexis smiled.
"Alexis, I think that's enough... For now anyway." Hunter said flatly. My whole family was speechless. "I'll introduce you to Jessie tomorrow." Hunter said as she opened the door. Ryder was outside looking through the hallway.
"You're never going to find it Ryder." Alexis said as she followed Hunter down the hall way.
"Then bloody tell me where it is!" He yelled as he searched through a few vases.
"Of course I will and Blake has never kissed a girl." She said sarcastically. I was guessing that Blake and Ryder were players. Yep, definitely my children. Hunter showed us to our rooms. Mine was black and red like the rest. I was also last to be shown my room. I was actually alone. With Hunter. The room was very sixteenth century and a modern mix. Hunter walked over to my side table and opened one of the draws. She pulled out a remote? She flicked it on and the long mirror above the lit fireplace place spun around to reveal a flat screen TV? I was so confused. Hunter stood up.
"Do all the rooms do that?" I asked.
"Yep." She said throwing the remote on the bed.
"Do the others know?" I asked. I realised she was standing right next to me.
"Nope." I found myself leaning in and she did the same. I was so relived that she was fine and we were both together. Sort of. We were inches away from our lips touching when the door flew open. Lucy.
"We have TV?" She asked. She realised what we were doing. "TV cool." She said before she ran off. Hunter pulled away. She walked to the door and turned around to face me.
"Good night Quinn." She said with a smile.
"Good night Hunter." I said and realised I was smiling. She closed the door and I heard her heels go down the wooden floor.
This is going to be a hell of a next few days.
