To aniw8i: I didn't take any offense! I'm just very proud of my heritage.
Why no, whatever gave you the impression that I was insecure?
That phone call, dear children, was called foreshadowing. I think. Lady Life is a bitch and won't tell me anything, won't return my calls, and won't even accept me as a Facebook friend. But anyway.
I raised my eyebrows at the movie. "'The Notebook'?" I asked. "Seriously?"
Louis shuffled. "Lestat picked it." He said.
"Yes I did." He smirked. "Besides, I could use a little... inspiration..." He cast a LOOK at Louis.
"Lestat! Children present!" he cried with a blush and a slight giggle. Ugh. I'm sleeping in the library on the other side of the house tonight.
I sighed and did a facepalm, then glanced up when someone opened the door and showed themselves in. "Who is-? What's with the kid?" I asked.
The red-headed kid about my age raised an eyebrow at me. "I should be asking the same of you." He said with a very faint accent.
"Armand, this is our daughter, Willow." Lestat said.
"Daughter? A mortal girl?" 'Armand' began walking in circled around me with a sharp gleam in his eyes. So this is 'Uncle Armand'. Eunuch.
"Yeah, a mortal girl." I snapped. "Problem?"
"Oh no, none at all." He cast a glance at 'Mom and Dad'.
"Armand, leave her alone." Lestat said. "Willow, this is our... friend, Armand."
"Mm-hm. Friend. You used to bang him, didn't you?"
Whaddaya know? Vampires can blush. All three of 'em.
"Just don't go and have any orgies on me." I said as I turned to go. But of course I was forced – yes, forced – to watch 'The Notebook' with them. Lestat was just chilling in his love seat which could fit three people, but no one dared invade his personal bubble. Except for Armand, who was hanging from the back with a bored look on his face. Emo and I were stuck with the couch. We had forced Claudia to go to bed, since they didn't want her seeing sex scenes at six... hundred... whatever.
"What happened with the phone earlier?" He asked me in an undertone as Sex Scene Number One rolled around, avoiding Lestat's purposeful looks.
I winced and shifted. "Nothing." I said nonchalantly. Just a phone call from someone I don't really like-."
"I picked up the phone the same time you did. I heard her say she was your mother-."
"She's the little slut who started this whole mess. Guess they finally hooked up." I stuck my tongue out. God bless American hookers. (WARNING – THIS SENTENCE CONTAINS HIGH SARCASM)
He shrugged. "If you say so." We fell silent. The movie was pretty good, but not my type. I don't like romance movies. I'd take Kill Bill any day over this. And if I see Lestat shoot one more 'I'm-going-to-do-this-to-you-times-three-tonight' look at Louis, then I will scream. Loudly.
Let's see CASA ignore that.

-Louis-
About halfway through the third SCENE, Willow fell asleep.
Normally that wouldn't be a big deal, but when you have a seventeen-year-old orphan you've adopted as your daughter who hates your undead guts leaning against you with a surprisingly angelic expression... it's a big deal.
"Aww..."
I spun around. "Claudia!" I hissed angrily.
"I'm sorry! I just wanted to see where Willow was!"
"Go to bed. Now."
The movie finally ended, and Lestat and Armand looked up with surprise. "She fell asleep?" Lestat asked.
"Yes, obviously."
"She's somewhat cute when she's asleep..." Armand glanced up hopefully. "Can we-?"
"No. You two will turn her when I am lying in my grave and Memnoch goes up to pay God a visit."
"Alright, you've made your point. But you're carrying her upstairs. I don't want her to wake up and rip my head off."
I rolled my eyes. "Very mature, Lestat." I said. "Goodnight, Armand. I trust you can find the door on your own?"
"But of course. Have fun, you two." With that, he turned and showed himself out the door.
He smirked. "I'll see you later." He said, then turned and went upstairs.
I sighed. "Willow, if you wake up, this is Lestat's fault." I said as I slung her over my shoulder. "I didn't even want to see the movie. I wanted to get the first season of 'Mythbusters' and see all the explosions. But no, we had to get something with a sex scene in it..." I shook my head. I laid her down on her couch. "Goodnight, Willow." I kissed Claudia's forehead. "Goodnight, Claudia." I turned and left the room.
