DON'T OWN CHARACTERS!
Layla led Bunny into the meeting room. There she saw her sisters and the boys, Blitz was sitting down, staring at her. He has ran there, obviously vampire speed. He patted the seat next to him and Bunny glared, sitting down on the floor. Buttercup, who was being held down in Butch's lap broke free and ran over to her, earning a pout from Butch.
"What's going on?" Bunny shrugged and looked to Layla.
"I promised not to tell. I don't break promises." The goofiness of Layla had disappeared, she stood like a soldier, as the king and queen entered.
"Hello." The queen said, smiling. The king's face was like a stone, un-moving, emotionless.
"Damn." Buttercup just let it out.
"Language" Blossom said, Brick had his arms tightly around her.
"Mister King, what's going on? Is there news about the war?" Bubbles asked, she held Blossom's hand, on her other side Boomer had his hand on her leg.
"We have people keeping their eyes on them, so far, there hasn't been any changes." The king said, and all of them sighed in relief. "But there will be, and we need to be ready, everyone needs to be ready." The king said, and the tension returned.
"As I know two of you have heard, we plan to make a huge school to keep up student education here, after schooling we will have everyone attend defense classes, they need to know how to fight, whether they join the army or not, I want everyone to be able to protect themselves, monsters will teach their own species how to use their powers for offensive and defensive purposes." The king continued.
"You mean someone can teach us to control our powers?" Bell asked, she stood up. The king looked down.
"No." He looked back up. "You girls are the only Banshees who aren't sided with the Plague, you will train with various monsters in hopes of helping you understand your own powers."
"And what if those attempts are fruitless?" Blossom asked.
"Then let's just hope I get mad." Bell said, looking down.
"Both of us." Bunny chuckled, the rest looked at the two.
"Well, let's hope it doesn't have to come to that." The queen said. "We've already informed your father, and we plan to hold a party, announcing this."
"A party?" Brick asked.
"Is this really the time for that?" Bunny asked and the queen nodded.
"The people do not need to be afraid, we feel that easing their minds will help them better take the news."
"That and you're dying to use the ballroom" Blaine added and the queen laughed.
"Wait do we have to dress up for this?" Buttercup asked.
"We already have designers working on your dresses." The queen said and Buttercup and Bunny stood up.
"Yeah, we're out." Bunny said, heading to the door. Buttercup right behind her.
"There's more." The king said, the girls turned around. "You will also be introduced as the boys' mates, you have 3 days to begin the mating process before the party. You don't have to finish it, just begin it." The boys nodded to their father and the sound of the door closing was heard. Bunny and Buttercup were gone.
"This sucks!" Buttercup punched the wall of Layla's room.
"It won't be so bad, mating sounds nice, and you only have to wear dresses this one time." Lillian said
"Yes it will, and how would you know about mating, last time I checked, you were single."
"Come with me." Lillian said, Bunny and Buttercup followed her out of her room, she led them down the hall. She knocked on the door at the very end. It was opened by Hunter, who looked awfully surprised.
"Girls, this is Hunter, he's mated to Alexis." He waved at them.
"Uh, wanna come in?" They nodded and he let them in. Alexis was on the bed, looking a little grumpy, but perked up after seeing the girls.
"They aren't vampires." Bunny stated.
"Werewolves, actually. But we mate just the same." Alexis said and motioned for them to sit down.
"I'll be leaving now." Lillian said. Alexis watched her leave and sighed.
"Are you two not on good terms." Bunny asked
"I just said the things she was afraid to hear, but it doesn't matter. She's still in denial, but the right person could change that in a second." It was silent.
"So what do you two need?" Hunter asked, sitting beside Alexis.
Lillian walked down the hall, into the kitchen. It wasn't time to eat, in fact it was Layla's month to cook. Lillian slammed a bowl on the counter and started baking. She stirred the cake mix, she was angry, why? What was she so upset? The cake mix splashed on the counter, but she didn't even notice. A hand grabbed hers and stopped her. Electricity shot up through her skin.
"Any harder and there won't be any mix left." The deep voice echoed through head. She looked up, there was Kade. Hypnotizing green eyes pierced her hazel ones. His black hair fell around his face in whisps.
"I-I..." She couldn't form sentences, her body shook at his touch, his voice echoed in her head like a symphony. He kissed her forehead and darted away. She collapsed on the floor, spilling the mix. Her head burned, her mind was full of him. Little did she know that he was sitting outside in a similar situation.
She was in his head, his willpower alone, forced him to stay away. He couldn't do it to her, she was too beautiful, too kind, too smart, too perfect to be destroyed by him. Kade sat in front of the shed, his hands wrapped around his skull. He listened, the animals, the breeze, the faint sound of water, and...
His head snapped up and crouched before him was his own face, his black hair slicked back and went to his shoulders, his eyes blood burgundy.
"Kodiak"
"Hello, brother"
"So how does this work?" Blossom asked, she stood in her and Brick's room.
"I bite you, your blood enters my system and the mating process will begin."
"And how is that different from imbibing anyone else's blood?"
"We have two sections in our body's throat. The one we normally drink from digests the blood, just like your food. The other only opens when we drink the blood of our mate. The part transports the blood throughout my body, effectively linking me to you. The blood I take from you will be irreplaceable, it won't be enough to hurt either of us, but eventually you will have to replace it by drinking my blood. Even if you don't at the beginning, your blood lust for mine will overtake you."
"So, do you just-" He bit her. Just SERIOUSLY bit her! And it hurt, a lot! She opened her mouth and nothing came out. Then it stopped, it was gone and her body shook with pleasure as he released his fangs and she fainted. He caught and gently rested her on the bed.
It was around dinner time, Boomer and Bubbles were eating in the living room with the rest of the kingdom. The party had just been announced and the people were cheering.
"Where's Brick?" Bubbles asked, noticing how he and Blossom were missing.
"He refuses to leave Blossom's side, they began the mating process."
"When are we gonna start it?"
"Now."
Boomer picked her up and sped away. He explained how mating worked to her and she had hugged him, fearing for herself. As soon as Boomer's fangs sunk into her neck Bubbles went completely out.
It was the next day, Bell awoke with a start. A nightmare. She had killed them all, Blaine, her sisters, the kingdom. She got angry. She got up and looked out of the window, in front of her, the night sky. The moon had just began its descent. Now she had all of these things in her head, that stupid question.
What is a Banshee?
She needed to know. Maybe if she knew, she could protect them all, not worry about killing them. A small tear fell from her face, she wiped it off quickly.
"What's wrong?" Blaine's musky voice asked. He stood up off the bed and made his way to her. Bell turned and gave him her best smile.
"Nothing, let's go back to bed." He grabbed her wrist and spun her back to him, he was wide awake. their faces were inches apart, his arms were around her tightly.
"Bell, I can smell your tears. What's wrong?" She shook her head at him, hoping he wouldn't push her. "I won't let go until you tell me." She shook her head, but he didn't let go. She struggled but he just held her closer. She wanted to tell him to let go, he would think she was silly if he knew, he kissed her. He just kissed her, her struggling ceased. He kept on kissing her, sweet kisses, turning into steady passionate ones. She eventually collapsed, but found herself on the bed. He was above her, still kissing her.
"Tell...me" He spoke between kisses. He was driving her insane. She needed back control of herself. Like he knew, he leaned back, expecting her to start talking. And she did.
"I'm going to kill you all" Her voice was shaky. "Every time I sleep I-" She started crying. He leaned down and hugged her. She clung to him as though he were her lifeline. He went back up kissed her eyes, her tears, her chin, and sweetly her lips.
"You're not going to hurt anyone." He said softly, after she calmed down. "You are one of the most in control people I have ever met. You were protecting us, not hurting us, and you came to."
"But you can't be sure that I'll-"
"If it's you, I know you can control it." Her breathing was ragged, her hair was a mess, her face was red. The sun was rising. "When we mate, you and I will have a connection so deep that I'll be able to help you." He whispered to her. She sat up, he followed her.
"Do it."
"What?"
"Start the mating process, do it now."
"Are you sure?"
She pulled him into a hug, and nodded against him. He sighed and sunk his teeth into her creamy neck. She could feel the blood leaving her. She passed out and he released her. He then curled back up with her under the covers as the sunlight shined into the root.
Blossom opened her eyes. Arms were wrapped around her waist, she was facing the wall. She could smell him, Brick. She could smell his smoky scent easily. She could smell the people in the rooms near them, too. She could smell the cheap perfume that had been sprayed in the room beside them by 4 of princess' friends who were staying there. Her mouth was dry, she ran her tongue along her teeth to find two, very long teeth, where her canines should have been. She frowned deeply, trying to make sense of it.
Bubbles awoke, the smell of turkey hitting her nose. The sun was setting, it had to have been around dinner time. She sat up and heard the door open and close, it echoed in her head. She looked over to see Boomer, two plates of food.
"I figured you would get up soon. She stood up and smiled, he chuckled at her.
"What?" He pointed towards the mirror. She found to large fangs in her smile. "Whoa."
Bell awoke, the sun was just rising. She looked to her side and saw Blaine, she stared and her eyes zoomed in. She saw each individual part of his skin. Each strand of hair, each piece of lent in the air, every crack in the wall. She opened her mouth to speak, just to have two very sharp fangs graze her lip.
Bunny sat in the bed. Blitz was next to her. It was very early in the morning, the sun had only started rising, the sky had an orange and pink look. She shook him.
"Blitz"
"Ermmmmph"
"Blitz" She shook him harder and he grabbed her waist and flipped her over him and onto the opposite side of the bed, facing him. "We need to mate, it takes a day for me to transform, I can't wake up during the party." His eyes opened.
"Oh, yeah." He grumbled, he sat up and pulled her towards him. He nuzzled her neck with his face and kissed her neck tenderly. She felt herself relax, then he sunk his fangs into her.
"Shit!" She whisper-shouted. She could feel the blood leaving her body, pain spread through her shoulder. Then it all traveled back up to his mouth and left as he detached himself. She leaned onto him.
"Sorry." He said, softly. She grumbled, not finding the energy to argue with him. She then went out like a light.
Buttercup was shaken awake by Butch. She grumbled and he pulled her up to him.
"What" She asked groggily. The sun had just finished rising, the sky was morning blue.
"We have to mate now. Any longer and we won't have time for you to wake up." She groaned. He cuddled her in his lap. She woke up when he bit her,
"You fuck-" He covered her mouth. The pain spread throughout her shoulder, she murmured curse words against his hand. The pain stopped as he released her. She fell forward, into his chest with a thump.
"You little shit." He chuckled at her.
"We were running out of time."
"Could've warned me." She yawned.
"Just go back to sleep." He lay them back down and she fell asleep immediately.
Bunny awoke, the world becoming enhanced in an instant. She sat up, the feeling of the sheets spiking through her body. She turned to find Blitz, awake, looking at her. She reached out to his hair, the feeling sparking up her skin, her immediately knowing that he had showered last night. She caught her lip on the long fangs in her mouth. causing a little trail of blood to release in her mouth.
"Transformation?"
"It's only temporary. Your senses will be heightened, until you bite me. Your teeth are retractable."
"Ah, I see" She poked at the fangs.
Buttercup awoke, she could smell breakfast being prepared. She sat up, scratching her head. The sound of a back cracking alerted her that Butch was waking up. He sat up and looked at her.
"Hi-" She cut him off, launching forward, pushing him back in his sleeping position. He was shocked. She leaned down and sunk her big fangs into his skin. He sucked in air. She drank his blood. The metallic blood entered her system, it tasted sweet, it swirled around in her mouth. She could taste where he had been. Which was just the bed, the shower, and the kitchen. She let go. Some of his blood leaked from the side of her mouth. She put it on her finger and back in her mouth. Butch looked dumbstruck. Suddenly the top of her mouth ached. Her fangs popped out, just like the ones used in costumes. Her sight, smell, taste, feel, and hearing all diminished back to what they were before. She held the fangs in her palm. She felt her canines grow back in seconds and her mouth stopped aching. Butch rubbed his neck. She rubbed the back of her neck and smiled down at him. He smirked and flipped them over. Her under him, his spot was warm. He grabbed her fangs and placed them on the bedside table. He then stuck his lips on hers.
