The Longest Chapter so far ! Hope you'll like it
1 hour later I woke up and walked to kitchen, but stopped at the door, because of what I heared. I looked into the kitchen, seeing Troy talking to someone on his Cellphone, which was turned to Speakerphone, because Troy was baking or something.
„I'm serious Chad. How did you get through to Tay ?" he asked.
„I was nice and took her out to dates, of course she wasn't sure if she could trust me, but I just told her I was, and I still am, into her. I really really like her."
„Yeah, try to do that with Brie. I mean I told her that I like her, but she doesn't believe me. I'm hopeless Chad." He sighted and dropped a spoon.
„What was that ?"
„A Spoon." He said grabing it off the floor.
„What are doing ?!"
„Baking." He simply said, while he read in one of my Mothers cookbooks. Chad laughed.
„Troy Bolton and baking. Never thought of that. You must be into her."
„I am. I really am. She's just fascinating. She's different. Not like one of the Cheerleaders or someone. She's unique. She's just amazing...truly amazing."
„Wow, never thought I'll see you in love, Bolton. Where are you anyways ? I mean you both weren't at school today."
„We're kind of out of town, can't really tell you where."
„Alright, but let me tell you dude, there were rumors on the campus today."
„Rumors ? Like what ?"
„Like you got Gabstar pregnant and you both went to New York."
„That's crazy and we're definitly not in New York. Who made up those rumors ?"
„Don't know, I heared them from Tay and she got them from Terri and she got them from Miley, who got it from someone."
„Great. Anyways I have to hang up, gotta get going with the baking thing."
„Okay, but what are you baking ?"
„Brownies and Muffins."
„Good luck with them. Bye."
They both hang up and I went to the pool house, where my piano and my guitar are. I started to play and had the Song done pretty quickly. I started to record it and saw how Troy was coming to the poolhouse with Muffins and Brownies, but I didn't stop playing. He opened the door and I started to sing. He sat down and was speechless.
Can't you see?
There's a feeling that's come over me
Close my eyes
You're the only one that leaves me completely breathless
No need to wonder why
Sometimes a gift like this you can't deny
'Cause I wanted to fly,
so you gave me your wings
And time held its breath so I could see, yeah
And you set me free
There's a will
There's a way
Sometimes words just can't explain
This is real
I'm afraid
I guess this time there's just no hiding, fighting
You make me restless
You're in my heart
The only light that shines
there in the dark
'Cause I wanted to fly,
so you gave me your wings
And time held its breath so I could see, yeah
And you set me free
When I was alone
You came around
When I was down
You pulled me through
And there's nothing that
I wouldn't do for you
'Cause I wanted to fly,
so you gave me your wings
And time held its breath so I could see, yeah
And you set me free
The melody ended and I pressed the stop button on my macbook.
„Wow, that was amazing. Did you wrote that ?"
„Yeah, I just finished it actually."
„Why don't you want to record an album ?"
„Can't we just drop that ?"
„No."
„The thing is..." I bit on my lip, I couldn't tell him everything, could I ?
„Yeah ?"
„I actually sell those songs. I don't have time for an album."
„What ? How ? Why ? How come we don't know about it ?"
„My name is never mentiont anywhere it was the part of the deal. I don't want anybody to know that I wrote those songs. I don't want the whole East High knowing that I work with Justin Timberlake and Diddy and a lot of other celebs."
„That why there were so many paparrazzi."
„Yeah."
„Is there anything else you want me to tell you ?"
I couldn't tell him that I'm a half Vampire, could I ? It would be the perfect Situation through...
„There's something, but I can't tell you now. You'd think I'm crazy. I'll tell you some day."
„Some day will be when ? 10 Years from now ?"
„Some day will be when the time's right."
„But the time is right, now." He said looking me in the eyes. „You can trust me Gabriella. I would never think you're crazy and you wanna know why ?"
„Why ?"
„Because I'm in love with you. I, Troy Bolton, am in love with you, Gabriella Montez. You can trust me." He said touching my hands, who were cold as ice.
„Are you feeling okay ? Your hands are cold...cold as ice."
Now I have to tell him.
„Okay, but please don't say anything about me being crazy or anything." I took a deep breath. No way back, I have to tell him, right now, right here. „I am a half Vampire." I whispered, but I knew he had heared me.
„What ? You are a half Vampire ? Right, now tell me the Truth." He said and let out a little laugh.
„Hey, no laughing ! And it is true. I drink blood and that's why Mick was around today, I needed blood and he's a full vampire."
„You're joking, right ?"
„No, you want me to show you ?"
„How can you show me that ?!"
„Well I don't since I can't get the blue eyes right now, which you get when you need blood or when you are fighting. But I can cut myself or something , you'll see what will happen then." I said and looked around to find something.
„Oh, no. You're not gonna cut yourself, Gabriella. You're crazy if you do that."
I took and pencil and lanceed it into my arm, I took it out again and 2 seconds after I did it, it healed.
„What ...what was that ?!" Troy was totally shocked.
„I told you I'm a half Vampire."
„But that's crazy. How did you become one ?"
„Well my father's a full Vampire and he and my mother tried everything to get her pregnant...Eventually they gave up and he turned her, she didn't became like him she was different. 1 Month later they found out why, she was pregnant with me. It happened that we're both half Vampires now."
„Wow, what about your brother ?"
„He's from my dads..." I had to think for a little while, „ I think from the 5th marriage. His wife died in 1987 and he couldn't loose his child with her, so he turned him."
„Wow. I...I mean you don't bite people, do you ?"
„I don't bite people. I have a deliveryman who brings me my blood. Some of us bite. My Mom and my Dad don't, but my brother...well he does it sometimes. My Deliverman's in hawaii right now and my blood reserves went out. So Mick feed me."
„He did what ?!"
„I had to bite him. I had no choice. He offered me his blood and I had to take it."
„That's a lot to get."
„I know. But you wanted to know what was my secret and here you go."
„Does anyone else know ?"
„All Vampires and you."
„No Terri ? No Taylor ?" he asked suprised.
„Well they're the only humans who know about us." I said.
„Wait, does that mean there're more ?!"
„Oh, yeah. We're a lot."
„But how come you didn't get discovered ?
„We're very discreet." I said looking for the first time in his eyes. „You wanted to know if I trust you and I do. I trust you Troy." I said and looked at him, he still looked shocked, which I understood. „And that's why we can't be together."
„Because you're a half vampire ?"
„Yes and because it is way to dangerous for you to be with me. I could loose control any second."
„I'm not afraid of your strength."
„You don't even know how strong I am. I could easily break a bone, while I'm touching your hand. I could easily cut your chest open, while we kiss. I could do anything I want and you couldn't stop me."
„Then why...why don't you do it ? I mean how can you-„
„I try to control myself and I'm afraid that at some point I can't anymore. I am afraid that this point will be soon. You challenge me and I like it. I love challenges." I said and he was silent. „Gosh that must've sound scary, huh ? Like you were some kind of object or so. Sorry, I'm not used to explain it to ...humans." I looked at him, but he was looking down. Down at the floor his mind was full of questions or so it seems to me. „Do I...you know, do I scare you ? Are you afraid ? Because if you are then I'm totally fine with it. I can easly go to a hotel or...or buy myself a ticked back home. No problem." I said and tried to smile. But his look on his face didn't change. He sat there, still next to me, but I knew that he wasn't with me, not mental anyway. I knew I shouldn't tell him. I knew I shouldn't just break the news like this. Stupid, stupid me.
We sat there, both silent.
„I'll leave you alone, to think. Because you clearly need to do that." I said and got up. He looked at me confused, shocked, with still those question in his head. „I'm in the living room, talk to me when you're ready." I said and closed the door. I walked into the living room and sat on the couch.
I told him which is a good thing. I said to myself and my Cell rang. I looked at the display, it was Josef.
„Hey Josef." I said after I pressed the green button.
„Hi Gabriella. I heared you're in town again."
„Yeah for 2 days."
„I, well Mick and I, need your help."
„What happened ?"
„Beth is in danger some crazy vampire plastic surgeon took her and will probably kill her. And we need a third Vamp to fight against them."
„Them ?!"
„Yeah well they're 5 and very very strong, one of the most strongest here in LA. Can you help us ?"
„Well I..." I looked over at the pool house, where Troy started to make his way to the living room," I'm not so sure about it."
„What have you done to Gabriella Monetz ?! You're a fighter ! Not a watcher ! I mean come on, even I fight this time, please..."
Troy sat next to me and said nothing, just looked at the floor, but still he did sit next to me, which I think is a good sign.
„Josef I..." I took a deep breath, „Pick me up as soon as possible. But we have to make it quick I don't have time. I'm not here to fight." I said and rolled my eyes.
„I knew you're going to say yes ! We'll be over in 20 Minutes ! Get some wood !"
„Will do, see ya !" I said and hung up. The second after I hung up I looked at Troy, who was looking at me now.
„You don't scare me." He simple said, still looking into my eyes.
„I don't ?"
„No, I mean I probably should be scared now...but to my surprise I'm not. I'm not afraid of what you are. Because to me it doesn't even matter."
„You shouldn't have said that. It always matters, because at some point you can't say it doesn't matter. At some point you're gonna...you're going to walk away. Walk away from the danger, the confusion, the desire and from me. You're gonna walk away because you'll realize that I am no good for you. I just am no good for you."
„Maybe that's what attracts me. It is the mysterious side of you which attracts me, the beauty you have, that you could have anyone, but you chose me."
„You're wrong about the last one." I said.
„No, I wasn't. I mean what I say, I always do. Do you even know how you affect other people ? Especialy the boys ?"
„I mean there are 3 or 4 guys who look at me in lunch..." I confessed.
„There're way more. You wanna know why I make out with Girls ? I mean the other reason ?"
„There's more than one ?" I asked shocked.
„Of course there is !" he said and laughed. „We're like the leaders of the cafeteria. All boys want you, but you didn't notice that, which I don't understand. And all Girls want me, which is obviously why."
„Watch your ego mister !"
„Right, anyways... I make out with the Girls because I want to have the attention at me, which I think sounds ridicilus now that I mention it. But the truth is you have the boys who want you and nearly every Girl, who wants to be just as beautiful as you are. I don't get how you didn't notice that."
„It wasn't clear. I mean I just am who I am. Okay well I try to be normal. And I think I'm doing a good job at that !"
„You are. I mean I still am surprised to now know that you're a half vampire. How does it feel ?"
„Cold."
„Cold ?"
„Yeah, you make me feel cold."
„Is that a good or bad thing ?"
„Depends."
„On what ?"
„I mean it is a good thing, because it shows that I'm very attracted to you." He smiled by that words.
„And the bad side of it is ?" he asked.
„I have to drink more blood than ussual, to not get crazy when I'm with you. To have more control over myself. And believe me it is hard enough to have control when I'm having a normal body temperature, but when I'm cold it's nearly impossible."
„That's why you were cold this moring...You like to see me lying in your bed." He said and smirked.
„What Girl wouldn't like that ?!"
„Are you cold now ?" he asked, serious again.
„As the matter of fact, yes I am."
„Can I...you know can I touch you ?"
„You never felt coldness ?!" I asked him.
„Of course I felt coldness ! It's just... I never felt you cold." He said and touched my cheek. „Wow you're cold as Ice."
„I told you and I better get some blood."
„Or you could kill me." He said and looked in my eyes.
„I wanna try something." I said, getting an Idea.
„What ?" he asked and I kissed him. It was the longest kiss we have had yet. It was filled with passion, but still I had to be careful to not to bite him. It was a challenge, which showed me that I was strong enough to be with him, even without blood. I stopped at the point, I realized I was about to loose control over myself.
„Wow, that was some kiss." He said breathess, „The best We've ever had."
„Really ?" I asked as I walked into the kitchen, to get a gulp of the blood.
„Yeah, I mean that was...wow. How hard was it ?"
„How hard was what ?" I asked as I came back.
„To you know, not kill me."
„Harder and at the same time easier than I thought."
„I don't get that."
„Harder in the way I had to be more careful and easier in the way I didn't had to fight against my feelings. And in between, that was nothing."
„Nothing ?!" he asked skeptic.
„Just wait...just wait." I said and the bell rang. Damn, totally forgot about Josef and Mick. I ran to the door and opened it.
„Hey you 2." I said as I saw my mentor and his mentor infront of me.
„Are you ready ?" Mick asked and Josef smelled Troy.
„Wait, who's here ?" Josef asked.
„Troy."
„You're new flame ?" Josef asked surprised.
„Not my new flame !"
„Have you told him ?" Mick asked.
„She has." Troy said and appeared behind my back.
„Well I would love to do some quizing and chatting but we have a Girlfriend to save." Josef said.
„Where are you going ?" Troy asked.
„Saving Beth, you'll get details when I'm back."
„You really do take all that stuff easy, don't cha ?" Mick asked.
„Well you are the one who's like a magnet to accidents and problems and I'm the one who's like a magnet to fights." I said and smiled.
„Can I come along ?" Troy asked and all Vampires looked at him.
„Come along ?!" Mick asked.
„You want to come along ?!" Josef asked just as shocked as Mick sounded.
„I wanna see you guys in action." Troy said and we all laughed. He wanted to see us in action...in action ?!
„I don't know. I mean it is very dangerous." I said and struggeled with my feelings and my mind. I looked at him and saw the curiosity in his eyes. I can't resist him, I wondered if I ever could ?
„Alright, but you're gonna stay away from us as possible. And don't you dare touch him, Josef." I said and looked at Josef, who acted inoccent.
„Me ?! NEVER." He said and we all got into Micks old Porsche.
10 Minutes later Troy spoke up.
„So, where are we going ?"
„Some modern house, outside of LA." Mick answered.
„How long have you 2 been together ?" Josef asked out of interest.
„We're...not together."
„Really ?! I mean the way you 2 behave with each other..." Josef mumbeled.
„Josef !" Mick whispered.
„What ?! I'm just helping fate out a little bit..."
„Enough fate talking, we're here. Are you guys ready ?" he asked and looked at me and Josef, who looked at me. „Ready ?"
„Ready as ever." I said and got my Vampire teeth, along with me Vampire eyes. „You're gonna stay here." I said in my dark Vampire voice.
„What ? No, I want to come along !" Troy protested. I sighed.
„Come on, Gabi. Let this guy have some fun, by watching you, along with Mick and myself, fight."
„Alright, but stay behind me." I ordered and we all got in. The huge house was white everywhere. The floor was white, the walls were white..the only things which weren't all white, were the furniture, they were white and silver.
„Where do you think Beth will be ?" Josef asked and , just like we all did, followed Mick.
„I know where she is." He said and opened the door, where 2 humans were sitting on the floor, their eyes covered with a white cloth and their hands were holding with some kind of cord together.
„Ah, I waited for you." said a vampire and turned around. He just saw Mick, Josef and I were still hiding, to suprise him.
„Stay behind me." I once again whispered to Troy, who looked like he was 5 and about to get a large Ice cream bottle.
And then everything happened very fast. 3 Vampires came out of nowhere, well for Troy it was nowhere, and attaked Mick. Both, Josef and I ran to help Mick.
„Oh, you're more ?" The Vampire Doctor asked. As he saw me, he looked surprised, maybe because I am a female after all.
„Like you, „ he said and came closer to touch my cheek, „could do anything aganst me."
„Alright enough of the touching, we're not here to touch." Josef said once again, joky. While Josef and me were, as he likes to call it, ‚chatting', Mick already killed 2 of them.
I turned around to look if Troy's still there, but he wasn't.
„Are you looking for him ?" The Vampire asked and hold him, a knief next to his neck.
„Oh man, I thought this would be hard..." I said as I got a fin.
„You know, I would love to chat with you, but I have a snack to eat." He said and I saw the fear in Troys eyes.
„He's not a snack !" I said and made him look up.
„Humans are always snacks, they're way better than animales." He said and started to get closer to Troys neck.
But before he could even touch Troys neck with his Vampire, horny teeth I beheaded him. His head felt down, just like his body and I saw how the head was rolling into Beths and...and some other man. I looked around 3 Vampires were dead and 2 had wood in their hearts, which made them unable to move.
„I thought this was suppose to be...I don't know, hard maybe ?!" I said and looked at Josef.
„Don't look at me ! I've never seen you like this."
„Like what ?"
„I've never seen the Vampire side of you. Quite attractive." He said and smiled.
„Shut up !" I said and laughed.
Mick walked to beth and removed the blinfold, which covered her eyes.
„Hey." She said and smiled as soon as she regonized Mick. „Hi Josef and hi...unknown."
„Hi Beth. Nice to meet you. I guess our first meeting shouldn't be like this... I'm Gabriella." I said and we shook hands.
„I already heared of you. Nice to meet you, Gabriella." She said and smiled.
„Not to interupt your nice and finally meeting, but who's that guy ?" Josef asked.
„He's a lawer, I worked with him for Buzzwire, who's that guy ?" she asked and meant Troy.
„That's Troy." I said.
„Her new Flame." Josef said and smirked.
„You know, sometimes you're really unbelievable." I said and turned around and started to walk to the exist. „Are you guys coming or what ?"
„Sure, but what are we gonna do with him ?!" Josef asked.
„I wouldn't mind to kill him", I said sounding serious and saw how all humans and Vampires looked at me, shocked. „Relax, I'm just kidding." I said and let out a little laugh.
„Right, but now for real, what are we gonna do with him ?" Beth asked.
„I don't know. For now let's just get him and us outside of this building, the white all over makes me go crazy."
„A good crazy ?" Troy whispered into my ears.
„No...Let's go." I said and we all walked out. As we stood infront of Micks Porsche we had a tiny little Problem.
„We won't all get into it." Troy said. Exactly that was the Problem, but at the same time there's always a good solution.
„You guys get in. Troy and I will walk."
„Are you sure ? I mean that must've be about 60 Miles." Beth said, but clearly she didn't knew as well as she thought about us.
„Yeah are you sure ?!" Troy asked, almost begged to not walk.
„It won't be a problem. Trust me." Mick said for me and nodd.
„I'll see you around then." I said as they all got in.
„Bye Gabi and call me whenever you want to show your Vampire side." Josef said flirty, typical Josef he always flirt with me.
„Josef ! She has a Boyfriend !" Beth said and gave him a ‚Are you crazy ?!' look.
„So what ?" he said.
„Goodbye." Mick said and drove off. I saw how the black porsche drove away and soon was not able to be seen anymore...Now there were just the Woods, the awful white house, Troy and I.
„So how are we gonna do this ?" he asked and looked at me.
„You're gonna do nothing, I am gonna do it." I said and smiled.
„Okay..."
„Hold on to my shoulders and don't let go, okay ?"
„What are we gonna do ?" he asked confused as he put his hands on my shoulders, his warm warm hands...on my cold skin. „Hey, you're cold again. You really like me." He said.
„Yeah, well close your eyes" I ordered.
„Why ?"
„I think it'll be better if you close them." I said.
„Okay." He said and hopefully closed them.
