"My, my, what a little meanie you are."
Jinx really needed to get to the point and he seemed to sense this too because he straightened his posture a bit.
"As for what I am: I am half vampire and half shape-shifter."
He told me this information and I was slightly shocked, but I was currently taking residence with werewolves so I was sort of used to finding out these types of things.
"Ok, what about your name?"
I asked him curiously. I had a feeling this was going to turn into twenty questions, me asking him all the questions and not answering.
"Jinx works just fine."
Well ok… what else could I asked him now?
"Oh, that night where I woke up and then something was on top of me, it's nose near my neck… was that you?"
Jinx grimaced a bit before nodding.
"I got hungry that night. I'm only half vampire, but I still need to drink blood every once in a while. Some other half vampires may not have to, but I'm different since the other half of me is shape-shifter and not human."
That translates into:
"So… half vampire and half human people do not have to drink blood, but half vampire and half shape-shifter need to occasionally?"
Maybe I could hopefully store this information.
"Mostly, but everyone is different."
"Of course..."
Sighing, I leaned back and placed my arms behind me on the bed.
"What are you doing here and why do hang out around me?"
Blunt maybe? Nope, not at all because why would someone like him be hanging around this house and such?
"Jake knows I'm here as well as the others and apparently now so does Anthony. I'm basically just hanging out here until I can move on because those other wolves around here are hunting me down."
Well, he was a bad boy then. I felt stupid now for telling Anthony not to tell people. Those wolves though from that time I traveled into no-man's land, what was their problem? So many questions…
For example, what happened to my family? I would have to find Jake tomorrow and ask him. I loved my family yes, but something was telling me I needed to stay here. Perhaps it was just… the magic that allowed me to be a shape-shifter?
I looked towards Jinx and tilted my head.
"If you're hanging out here then why my room and my bed?"
"Ah you see, that's for me to know only- Jake's orders."
I groaned at this information. Great, this meant I was stuck with a half vampire and half shape-shifter in my room for a while. Oh my goodness… he had seen me in the bathroom when I stripped! I suddenly felt my face grow hot from anger and embarrassment. I was not going to say anything though because maybe, just maybe I could let this slide.
Sighing again, I took a pillow and curled up to sleep the rest of the morning because there seemed to be nothing else better to do. Jinx ended up laying down behind me, but he kept his distance thankfully. A question popped into my head then.
"Jinx…"
"Hm?"
"Why did Anthony… touch me the way he did earlier? Certainly if you are in cohorts with Jake then you know."
"Hormones and territorial things, he's a young boy. He smelled my scent on you when you were laying on top of him on the couch that one time."
Hm, so I was stuck with a territorial and hormonal boy whose hoodie I still had on. No matter, perhaps it was just that one time. I liked Anthony, but I thought of him as a brother to tease and play with. Him doing that earlier was not acceptable.
I liked him as a brother, but if Anthony had done that earlier… territorial and hormonal- did he actually like me more than that?
This was getting all way too confusing so I decided to close my eyes and hopefully get some restful sleep.
