"I can't believe we are moving. I love this place!" I said as I packed up my closet in record time. "This sucks. Paul and Melissa just had to get jobs and make us move. Ugh! I am not happy right now" I said loudly while pacing the room at 90 mph. "I didn't even know they were taking college classes and then they go and tell us that we are moving because they got jobs. They are vampires for gods sakes, they shouldn't be working with humans, and for that matter we are too we shouldn't have to go back to high school it was boring enough the first time." I ranted.
"I wonder if teachers in this decade are still as boring as Ms. What-a-snooze-Hughes." Tony laughed as he packed his closet. I laughed at the memory of my old social studies teacher from long ago. The memory was fading but it was still enough for me to remember how boring her lectures were.
"Probably." I said. "All the more reason to not go." I said. He smiled then went over to the desk, took the laptops off it, then placed them into my Rise Against messenger bag. "I bet the people in this decade have never even heard of all the good stuff, like Rise Against and Three Days Grace and My Chemical Romance and all that." I continued ranting. Then the door of our room burst open.
"Will you please show some self control of your feelings you are driving me insane!" Craig yelled at me.
"Well sorry" I said sarcastically while walking over to him and slamming the door in his face. "And next time knock, you could have interrupted something." I yelled through the door. Over the years we had begun to act more like brothers and sisters each day, this being an example of our brother and sisterly love.
"Oh no, I wouldn't want to interrupt something 'important' that they were doing. Important my ass god what a bunch of fucking…" He trailed off as he mumbled while walking down the hallway and back to his room.
"Nik, think of it this way, we are moving to Colorado, not the east coast so there is nothing to worry about." Tony said soothingly. I snorted.
"Nothing but trying not to massacre a city in under five minutes." I replied. He smirked.
"Come on I think you need a break from packing, its wearing you out." Tony said then took my hand and pulled me out the door.
"Where are we going? We can't leave yet we have to go pack the music room. Where are you dragging me?" I said. He stopped in the middle of the hallway, turned me to face him, and then kissed me roughly within the blink of an eye, shutting me up. After he let go he ran, pulling me along then hallway and out onto the bridge we had jumped off of before he went hunting the first time together. I shuddered remembering the experience, then squeezed Tony's hand tightly. We sat on the edge of the bridge remembering. I was sad to be leaving this place but also a bit relived. I would have never admitted the relief had someone asked me though.
"We really can't stay here we have to go pack the music room, that could take minutes and Melissa wants to leave by midnight." I said, getting up.
"Well what time is it?" He asked. I checked my watch.
"Eleven fifty five." I told him.
"That's plenty of time" He contradicted. I frowned at him then walked in the direction I thought the music room would be in, but apparently I was wrong. "Nikki honestly we have been living here for almost twenty years and you still have no idea where anything is." He sighed then picked me up, placed me on his back, then ran in the opposite direction that I had been going. Within seconds we were in the music room. The couches and table had been placed into the moving truck, driven by Paul, already so the only thing we had to do was pack the guitars and the CDs.
"Man, I wish we could take this stage with us it is awesome, as we never did get to use it." I said longingly. Tony nodded then went to the closet that had already been emptied and took out the cases for all the guitars hanging on the wall. Then he placed them all in the cases and piled them by the door. "We should take this stuff down." I told Tony. He nodded then I packed the CDs in boxes, which took the same amount of time, and placed the boxes by the door.
"I'll take the CDs down to the truck; you take the guitars and put them into your car." He said then left holding the five full boxes of CDs in his hands like they were as light as feathers. I went over to the guitars and too carried them like they weighed nothing. Moments later we met the others in the garage. I placed the guitars in my trunk then went over to where everyone else was.
"Did everyone double check there rooms?" Melissa asked. We all nodded. "Good now listen; we are going have the cars shipped there. They will be there before we are so there is no need to worry about them." She said. She sounded even edgier then usual. I tried to read her mind but there was nothing.
I had learned that she could block me out of her thoughts if she wanted to, which was frustrating at times like this. There was something that she wasn't telling us, I could tell. So could Craig and Daemon, but everyone else said we were just worried about moving. And I had to admit I was a bit worried about going back to school but I knew something bad was going to happen soon, I could just feel it.
"Wait. If the cars are being shipped to America then how are we getting there?" Emily asked, afraid of the answer.
"We are… Taking a plane there." She said softly. Emily let out a small sob then went into Craig's arms. Tony let out a deep sigh, as did Daemon. The three of them were the ones with the least self control therefore the ones in fear of hurting someone the most. Then I hugged Tony from behind.
"Its okay I'll be right there we can get through this." I said soothingly. He nodded then waited for Melissa to tell us what to do next. She seemed a bit less anxious but still edgy.
"Well get in the cars and drive to the CIN airport, here are your tickets," She handed us each a ticket, "We will all be on the same plane and class but we will probably be separated until we are on the plane. I tried to keep us on a plane where there would be the least humans but it is impossible to tell where there will or will not be than many humans. Well see you all there." She said then she got into her SUV and drove off quickly.
"Call driving!" Tony yelled then slipped the keys out of my back pocket and ran to the car.
"No way it's my car I drive!" I yelled back at him then ran to the car. "Bye guys see you on the plane." I called behind me then ran up to Tony. "Give 'em." I said while holding one hand out for the keys and one hand on my hip. He smiled then shook his head no. I growled but he still didn't move. He just held the keys above my head and above jumping reach and smirked.
"How much do you want to drive?" He asked in a low seductive voice. I was hypnotized by his voice slightly then shook my head and came back to earth.
"Give." I said as firmly as I could, though still dazed by his voice. He laughed then took a step closer, now hovering over me and keys in his right hand and held off to the side and placed his left hand around my waist and pulled me to his. He leaned down, face centimeters away from mine and spoke.
"You were saying?" He said then breathed his cold, minty breath in my face. I stopped breathing then looked into his eyes. They were gray with a hint of green in them and they were smoldering.
"Cheater." I said after attempting to pull away but was pulled right back again.
"No I am not. I just don't fight fair." He smiled then leaned down and kissed me. I deepened the kiss then pushed his back to the side of the car and kissed him harder. He placed the hand with the keys in it around my waist, pulling me as close to him as possible and slowly I removed one of my hands from his neck, ran it down the arm to the hand with the keys in it then quickly snatched them, broke away from Tony and jumped into the drivers seat of my car. It took Tony a minute to fully realize what had happened then he got into the car and stuck his tongue out at me then we drove to the airport.
