I groan as I hit the floor. No it wasn't from me trying to turn off my alarm, no it was from an over excited 60kg (123lb) dog that thinks he's as light as a kitten pushing me off the damn bed. I sit up and glare tiredly up at him.
"You're lucky I love you dog." I mumble to him. He just barks happily, tail and body wagging like mad. I groan, dropping my head onto my bed. "I'm up, I'm up." Groaning unattractively, I haul myself off the ground.
After using the toilet and washing my hands, I look at the shower before shaking my head, deciding to take one after the walk. Grabbing my toothbrush, I shove it into my mouth once I had toothpaste on it.
Ares barks from the doorway before sprinting out of the room and thudding down the stairs, I follow at a more slower pace. As I'm walking to the front door I'm brushing lazily, I unlock and opening the door before moving back upstairs to get dressed.
Grabbing clean underwear and bra, I throw those on the bed, rummaging for a pair of flowy shorts and a singlet but only finding a crop top. I frown.
"What happened to all of my singlets?" I mutter, looking around on the floor and seeing none. I shrug. "Oh well." Standing up, I throw the clothes on the bed, stripping from my dirty clothes and dumping them in the hamper. As a last minute thought, I grab a bikini and put it on.
I nearly trip while trying to get my shorts on making me yelp and blush slightly glad no one was here to see that. Tucking hair behind my ear, I grab my phone that was pretty much falling off the bed before turning and making my way downstairs.
Frowning, I look at the time on my phone to see it was 10.50am. I cursed to myself, running into the lounge to grab my sunnies and keys and running to the door. I pause with my hand on the door knob.
"I'm forgetting something." I say looking back in and frowning. I tap my foot trying to get the brain working which made pause and look down at my feet. "Shoes. That's what I'm forgetting," I mumble, looking around for my jandals (sandals). I find them next to the door, right next to where I was standing making me groan.
Slipping them on then out the door, I lock it then run to the car, calling for Ares as I go. Ares pretty much skids into the car with a slight bang making me giggle. Opening the car for us, we jump in , shooting off once I've got my seatbelt on.
Pulling up to the farm house with a bit of a skid, I jump out in a rush, not bothering to close my door. "Ares wait." I tell him before running up to the door. I knock, well it was more banging on the door, before bending over with my hands on my knees panting slightly.
"What do you want? Who are you?" I hear as the door just misses me, making me yelp and Ares bark, jumping out of the car. I look up to see an older guy, probably Sam's grandpa, glaring down at me.
"Uh I'm Sarah, that's Ares." I say pointing to the dog that was now next to me. "We're here to pick up Sam and Nanook." I say with a smile, clasping my hands behind my back and rocking on my feet.
"Dad? Who is it." I hear Lucy's voice get closer, she's then looking over her dad's shoulder. Once see she sees me she smiles and moves her dad out of the way. "Sarah, you're here. Sam's just getting dressed. Come inside and meet Nanook, you to Ares." She finishes, waving for me to follow her.
I take off my shoes before following Lucy inside, Ares wiped his paws. Walking inside, I couldn't help but slowly turn, taking the house in.
"Wow, you're house sure is um.." I trail off.
"Like a house straight out 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' aye." I hear Sam's voice coming from the stairs, I look over at him to see him coming down said stairs with a giant Husky next to him. That must be Nanook, I smile at the husky before looking back at Sam.
"I was gonna just say unique but that works too." I chuckle, walking over to him for a fist-bump. I kneel in front of him to greet the husky. "You must be Nanook, well I'm Sarah" I say holding out a hand to him, he sniffs it. "I was told you were going to be handsome but not this handsome."
He wags his tail, licking my hand which let me know I had the all clear to pat his head, which I did. I notice Sam walk past me to greet Ares. I grab Nanook's cheeks, making him look at me with a head tilt.
"Now the reason that you're meeting me is because Sam and I thought it would be nice for us four to get out of the house." He looks confused when I said four, so sitting down and letting go of his cheeks, I point to Ares. "Nanook this is my dog Ares." Ares comes to stand next to me nodding his head. "And Ares, this is Nanook, Sam's dog." Nanook growls lightly.
"Nanook stop that." Sam says walking up to the husky, patting his head. "Ares is gonna be you're new friend ok?" Sam asks, Nanook looking up at him, wagging his tail softly.
"Sam," I say, grabbing his attention. "Why don't you go grab Nanook's leash?" Ares backs away from me when I say that, I roll my eyes at him. "Not yours Ares, yours is in the car."
"Sure, I'll do that, and I'll meet you at the car." I nod, standing up.
"Oh, don't forget you're sunnies." I say as I'm walking to the door. "It's bright out there. Oh, and swimwear." I pat my leg making both dogs follow, I giggle and hold the door open for them. I walk over to the car, Ares had already jumped in through my door while Nanook was standing next to it, waiting for me.
"In ya go Nanook, though jump to the back. Ares you too." I say holding my door, gesturing for the both of them to move to the back. Ares goes first, like he's showing Nanook what to do before he follows.
I chuckle and shake my head at the two goofballs, sliding in as I do. After closing the door, I start the car and check my phone to see a message from Jazz. Opening it, I see it was my next dare.
"Nooo, Jazz come on. That's not fair." I say whining at my phone, while typing out a quick 'fine'.
"What's not fair?" Sam asks while jumping into the car. I sigh out, showing him my phone. "What's a Brazilin wax?" He asks pointing to the phone.
"My next dare." I say cringing, putting my phone on the dash before reversing down the drive.
"Next dare?" He asks with a chuckle. I groan before explaining the dare thing. "Oh that's just classic!" He cracks up, while I cringe slightly.
"Yeah, sometimes." I say. Sam starts asking me about the different dares before we got into a conversation about being annoying to our siblings. We were pretty much in tears by the time I pulled up to the bit of beach that was out of the way and away from anyone.
Parking the car was the easy part, trying to get out, yeaaa not so much. Because as soon as we opened our doors to try get out, both dogs thought it was a good idea to try get out first, which sent the both of us to the ground.
"Ooof. Ares." I groan out, pulling my sunnies off my face and trying to untangle them from my hair. "Sam? You good?" I ask, slowly sitting up.
I hear a groan and grumbling come from Sam as I use the door to stand up, I look around to find the dogs to see them chasing each other across the sand. Slowly making my way around to Sam, I see that he had just decided to lay on the ground, rubbing the back of his head.
Chuckling, I walk over to him, offering my hand. He grabs it and when he's up right again, he leans on the hood of the car, groaning.
"Better get used to that Sammy." I say patting his shoulder. He looks at me and shakes his head making the both of us laugh. "Come on." I say grabbing his hand and pulling him over to sit on a sand dune.
We sat there chatting on and off watching the dogs just be goofballs. We did go swimming, the dogs trying to drown us which made us laugh. After we went swimming, we found a patch of grass for us to dry in the dying sun. Dogs napping in a pile next to us.
"Hey Sam," I say, leaning up on my elbows and looking at him.
"What's up?" He asks while sitting up.
"I don't know about you, but I'm starved." I sit up, grabbing my top to put on. Sam nods.
"Yeah I could eat." He says jumping up and offering me a hand. I laugh while grabbing his hand and letting him pull me up. Nanook and Ares look up at us.
"You guys want some food?" I ask them, putting my hands on my hips. Sam and I laugh when they both made a mad dash to the car. I look at Sam and we both shrug before following them to the car.
"Pizza, burgers or Chinese?" I ask Sam once were in the car and pulling away from the spot.
"You're making me choose?" He groans out. I chuckle.
"Well how about this." I say, holding up a finger and glancing at Sam. "We go back to mine, I'll cook the dogs something while you have a shower. After I'll have a shower then we can decide yeah?"
"I don't know." He says, scratching the back of his head.
"Well if you want," I grab my phone and hand it to him. "ring ya mum, see if she's alright with that."
Out of the corner of my eye I see him bite his lip, looking at my phone. I just tune out the conversation he has with his mum, humming to myself. About five minutes later, I feel Sam tap my arm, gaining my attention.
"Hmm?" I say, raising my brows and tilting my head towards him.
"Sounds like a plan. Mum was fine with it as long as I'm home by 11." Sam says with a shrug, I nod, scratching my nose.
We pull into my driveway about 10 minutes later. We told the dogs to wait this time before quickly getting out so the dogs could get out and they went nuts once again making us laugh. I gesture Sam to follow me.
"Nice place. You live here?" I nod with a hum. "Alone?" He asks.
"Yup, just Ares and I." Unlocking the door and kicking off my shoes off. "Though I do have friends that come over pretty much every night." I shrug then scratch the back of my head. "So in a way they pretty much live here too." I point at Sam with a smile. "Shoes off please." I say before skipping into the house.
I flick on lights here and there, dropping my keys and my phone on the counter. Ares and Nanook came into the lounge followed by Sam. I waved for him to follow me to the downstairs bathroom. After finding a towel, a change of clothes I happened to find and setting him up, I leave Sam to it.
"Ok doggos," I clap my hands. "who's hungry?" I nearly tripped as both dogs were suddenly circling me like sharks, I laugh at this. "Ok, ok! I'll make yous some food." I walk to the fridge, opening it and grabbing a packet of mince and the eggs.
Weird combo for them I know, but dogs eat anything. So I cook up the mince and make scrambled eggs. And yes while I was cooking I had the two of them dancing around my feet.
Sam came in to see them doing that as I'm trying to plate up their food which made him laugh. As I'm walking over to get the dog biscuits, I speak up to Sam.
"Chuck on whatever you want, tv, movie or games. Pick whatever." I shrug, dropping in some biscuits with each of their food. I hear the tv flick on as I'm putting their food on the ground. "Sit, wait." I say as I'm standing up, they watch me. "Ok, go." They dive into their food.
"Right, I'm going for a shower and don't be surprised if four guys and a kid turn up ok?" I say, walking to stand next to Sam. He looks a bit nervous but nods. I brush a hand over his cheek with a smile. "You'll be fine. If they start picking on you, tell them." I hum and tap my chin. "Tell them that I said that they won't get to find out about a piercing." I finish with a smirk.
He nods before getting up and walking over to my games and movies. I nod and head up to my bathroom, turning it on and letting it heat up.
"Oh yeah!" I mumble, jogging back downstairs to see Sam setting up Star Wars: Battlefront. I smile at him. "Sam," I call his name when the game is loading.
"Yeah?" He mutters, looking up.
"One more thing," I say pointing at him. "Tell David no mind games and to not mess with the food." Sam looks really confused and slightly put off. "If he asks why, just tell him that he would have to deal with me." I say with a wink before skipping out of the room and up the stairs.
I have to flatten myself to the wall as Ares and Nanook run down the stairs, almost like Ares was giving Nanook a tour. I giggle at my random thought. I grab the underwear I didn't put on this morning, a Marvel crop top, short shorts and a bra before moving to put them in the bathroom.
Once my clothes are in there, I go to grab my bluetooth speaker but not finding it in my room. I frown. "Oh right it's in the kitchen." I sigh and make my way, yet again, downstairs to the kitchen. Finding the speaker on top of the fridge, so grabbing that and my phone, I start hooking them up while making my way back upstairs. "Well at least I know that I'm getting exercise somehow." I mumble to myself.
Setting the speaker on the sink, i picked the song 'Only you' as it was stuck in my bloody head. I chuckle to myself, thinking about how different me and Jazz go about getting a song out of head. I set my phone closeish to the shower, dancing like a dork as I strip and get into the shower.
I had only just finished washing out the shampoo and onto the second song when I heard Ares and Nanook barking right outside my bathroom door. I groan and just turn up my music, ironically Twisted Sister's 'We're not gonna take it' was the song playing.
I sigh as the barking wasn't calming down, so after rinsing out the conditioner, wiping all of the soapy water off me. I turn of the shower, stepping out and roughly drying myself and my hair. I was standing there in just my underwear, debating if i wanted to deal with a bra when i heard a crash from downstairs, the dogs growling.
I groan, quickly shoving my top on and grabbing my shorts before flinging the door open and race down the stairs, both dogs hot on my tail. I grab the banister and swing myself into the lounge before freezing.
"What is going on here?!" I yell as I gesture around the room with the hand that had my shorts. In short, the room was a mess. The couch was tipped, so was the coffee table for some reason. Bits of what looked like a broken controller close to my feet.
Meanwhile, Sam was in the kitchen with a knife? Laddie was frozen against the wall looking scared but calming down as Ares moved over to him, Nanook staying next to me, looking unsure. David and Dwayne looked like they had been trying to corner Sam, David with a snarl on his face. Marko was helping a groaning Paul standup. They had frozen when I spoke up, everyone but David looking at me.
"Mama!" Laddie yells, running over to me and hiding behind one of my legs, holding onto said leg with a death grip. I notice the guys looking me up and down with their eyes flashing while Sam gulps, Ares had moved with Laddie. I glare and cross my arms
"Well?" I growl out, tapping my fingers against my arm in an agitated way. The guys glance at David while he glances at me, Sam looked ready to bolt over to me.
"Sarah stay back!" Sam almost yells to me. "Their God-damn vampires." He finishes, moving the knife between Dwayne and David, who looked ready to jump at Sam.
"Yes I know," I hold up a hand when he goes to interrupt. "sit down and I'll explain. You too guys." I glare as they give me a shocked expression. "All of you. Now!" I say between gritted teeth, glaring. Marko and Paul quickly flip the couch right again before sitting, Dwayne moving and flipping the coffee table right before sitting on the arm of the couch. Sam wearly moves to the armchair, knife still in hand.
David glares at me, not moving. I raise my eyebrows at him, cocking a hip out. He scoffs but moves over to the window, opening it and lighting a smoke. I roll my eyes at him before letting out a sigh, pinching the bridge of my nose. I let one hand fall so it was now resting on Laddie, I slowly run my fingers through his hair.
"Ok, Sam." I start pointing at him with my free hand. "First off, what's with the knife." He blushes, laying it across his lap.
"Well I wanted to be able to defend myself." He mumbles. I sigh.
"Fair enough. Now can I ask what's wrong with vampires?" I ask him. Sam jumps out of the chair, grabbing the knife last second.
"Are you seriously asking me that?" He asks waving the hand with the knife at the three on the couch. "Their monsters! They kill people." He yells out, getting worked up. I held up a hand.
"They kill to survive." I calmly say, giving him a look when he looked ready to speak up again. "BUT it's pretty much the same as what humans do." He shakes his head.
"Humans don't kill other people to eat." He says waving the knife around. I glare and pick Laddie up so he was on my hip, walking over to Sam, the dogs following me.
"Alright, give me the knife Sam. Before you hurt me or yourself. Or even little Laddie here." I say, holding out a hand. Sam blushes but passes me the knife, blade first. I grab it a bit harder than I should of as it cut enough into my hand that I started bleeding. I didn't care, I was making a point.
I hear four growls as I'm walking over to the sink. I hear Sam yelp as I'm pretty sure the guys faces were vamped out.
"Don't." Is all i say, dropping the blade into the sink. I let my hand drip blood into the sink as I look at Sam nearly falling off his seat to get away from the guys who were moving towards both him and I. I set Laddie down and tell him to go sit down. I see David, once again, looking ready to kill Sam.
"David." I say softly, his head snaps towards me. "Leave him alone, I grabbed the knife hard enough to make a point." I say tilting my head. By now Dwayne Marko and Paul were around me, Dwayne gently grabbing my hand and inspecting the cut.
David let's out a growl, I sigh.
"Chief come here." I say, holding out my other hand to him. David glanced between me and Sam, who looked ready to pass out, before moving over to me, grabbing my cut hand out of Dwayne's. "See? I'm fine." David glares at me and I guess he silently told the others to go sit down or something but they moved away from us, giving Sam a clear view of David and I.
I didn't flinch when I looked into David's golden/red eyes, nor did I flinch when David licked the cut, cleaning up the blood around it. I did look over to Sam when I heard a choked yell come from him, he looked ready to pass out. I go to walk over to him but don't get far as David still had a firm grip on my hand and he growled every time I went to move, so rolling my eyes I look up at him.
"Can I at least lean on you if you're not going to let me go?" David thinks about it nods, moving us to lean on the counter. I roll my eyes with a smile before looking at Sam. "Sam, they kill the bad guys. Ya know murders, rapists etc." I say, rolling the hand David didn't have a hold of.
"H-How?" Is the only thing Sam could get out, pointing between the five of us.
"Sammy, they would never hurt me." I say, smiling softly at the three in front of me, all of whom seemed to have calmed down. "They also listen, I think, if I ask them not to kill someone." I say shrugging.
"O-Ok but h-how?" He stutters, flopping on the armchair. I lean to the side and smile up at David.
"Because I'm their mate." David looks at me, eyes blue once more, before he leant down and kissed me. I chuckle and pull back when I hear the others complaining. I look at them, giving them a wink before looking at Sam.
Sam had sat up with wide eyes, mouth agape before putting his elbows on his knees and his head in his hands, lightly shaking his head.
"What does that even mean?" Sam asks while scrubbing at his hair, I sigh, tapping David's arms. He growls, tightening his arms around me. I look up at him with a blank face, he stares at me with a blank face as well.
"David." I whine softly, pouting slightly. David stares at me, raising an eyebrow. I bite my lip and turn around in his arms, looking up at him through my lashes.
"What am I going to get in return for letting you out of my arms?" He asks, half a smirk forming on his face. I smile while biting my lip, standing up on my tippy-toes, pulling David down so I could whisper in his ear.
His arms tighten before he grabbed my hips pulling me flush against him, growling as he does. I giggle when he pulls back and looks at me, dark lusty glint in his eyes. I nod, biting my lip. David's grip tightened on my hips, I'm pretty sure leaving bruises, before he nods, almost prying his fingers off my hips.
I give him a cheeky wink as I back out of reach and turn to walk over to Sam, who had dragged his hands down his face, pulling his face taunt. I sit on the armchair while the guys move over to David who was still staring at me as I sit on the arm of Sam's chair.
"Sammy." I say, putting a hand on his shoulder making him look up at me. I open my mouth to continue talking when I hear Paul and Marko yelling.
"What! Really?" I look over to see all four of them looking at me. Dwayne smirking with his arms crossed. Marko and Paul looked like they were ready to drag me off to have sex with me. All of them had the dark lusty look I had seen in David's eyes. I smile and give them a wink before turning back to Sam.
"Sammy, do you believe in Soulmates?" I ask, he shakes his head. "Well, do you believe that theirs a person that was meant for you? That is you're perfect other half?" He raises a hand, shaking it side-to-side. "Ok, well these four just happen to be mine." I smile softly, brushing a hand through Sam's hair.
Sam sighs, still looking so confused but also still scared. I wrap my arm around his shoulders, giving him a side hug.
"Look I know it's weird but just do what I'm doing and just go with it." I smile with a shrug. "But I mean it when I say these guys aren't monsters. It would be like calling us monsters because we eat meat. I don't think I'm explaining this properly." I frown, biting my thumb nail.
"No, no. I-I think I get what you mean Sarah." Sam says patting my knee. "Sorry about your controller by the way." He says pointing to what once was a controller, I wave a hand at the broken bits.
"Meh, with this lot it was bound to happen at some point." I giggle. "Well it was either them or me throwing it out the window." I say sheepishly, rubbing the back of my head making the guys snort. I giggle as I poke my tongue out at them.
Paul and Marko shared a mischievous look, I hold the hands up at them, slowly standing up and back away from them.
"Paul, Marko don't." I try to warn them off but it's not very affective as I giggle while saying it. I was too busy paying attention to them, I didn't see David and Dwayne moving up behind me. I didn't hear Sam trying to warn me.
"Get her Papa!" Laddie yells looking behind me. My eyes widen.
"Wai-ait!" I yell with a laugh as I'm picked up and thrown over a shoulder. "Why am I always thrown over one of your guys shoulder?" I get out through my laugh, grabbing on to Dwayne's waist and loving the feel of the smooth skin and muscles.
"Ok you can put me down monkey man." I giggle out, slapping his ass. I yelp a he smacked mine then put me down, well I was now up right at least. I was still off the ground a bit.
"Hey Marko, I didn't realise how short our Princess was." Paul says cracking up, nudging Marko who was smirking behind his thumb. I giggle and kick out towards them.
"Yeah but it's what makes me so lovable." I say grinning, I lean back enough to be upside down, looking at Marko. "I mean I make even Marko look tall." I say winking at him. Paul covers his eyes dying with laughter, I hear Laddie giggle and David snort. I didn't hear Dwayne but I felt him shaking, I think Sam had a reaction but I couldn't see, my eyes were focused on Marko who's smirk was dark, eyebrows raised and was stalking to me.
"Oh, really now? You saying I'm short Angel?" He asks, leaning down so we were eye to eye. His eyes travel up my face and down my body which made me remember what I was wearing with a blush. I quickly make myself straight again, smoothing down my top.
"Uh, how much did you guys see?" I ask with a slight squeak, Sam snorts which made me look at him.
"I show nothing." He says with a shrug, holding his hands up. David rolled his eyes.
"Let's keep it that way, yeah?" David says gruffly.
"Well we saw enough to know you're not wearing a bra." Paul says, pointing between himself and Marko who nodded, biting his thumb and tilting his head.
"Oh, I saw enough to know you have amazing tits." Dwayne says smirking, finally putting me on the ground. I look between all of my mates.
"I really need to wear heels around you lot." I say, biting the side of my thumb, lost in thought.
"Hey uh Sarah?" I hear Sam speak up. I hum and turn to him. He smiles and taps his wrist making me look at the time.
"Oh yeah, let's get you and Nanook home. We can pick you up some dinner on the way yeah?" I say, picking up my keys and making my way to the door. I hear a sharp whistle making me look at David, he just pointed down my body. I frown, looking down.
"Pants would be wise love." He says with a smirk. "Have you eaten at all by the way." My stomach grumbles before I could speak up making everyone chuckle. I grabbed my shorts that I had dropped earlier, putting them on.
"Marko, why don't you go with Princess and get all of our food." Marko's reply was to grab my keys out of my hand and walking out the door Nanook and Ares following him. I giggle with an eye roll.
"Come on Sam." I say with a smile, waving him over. Once he's next to me, I wrap my arm around his shoulders, steering him out of the house. "Ya know, if you want Sam, we can meet up tomorrow to talk about what happened tonight better." I suggest as we get to the car.
He nods. "I'll think about it, ok?" He asks, I grab the door handle, nodding.
"Yeah that's algoods Sam." I say smiling, jumping into the front, moving to the middle to sit between Marko and Sam. Sam slides in, closing the door as he does. Marko easily turns the car around, wrapping one arm around me. I look in the back to see both dogs dozing while leaning on each other, I smile, putting my head on Marko's shoulder and just enjoying the ride and Marko's warmth.
