When love met destruction. - chapter XXV.

Sorry for the delay, and sorry if this chapter is shorter than usual, I don't deserve to live, oh Satan! This one is the last chapter we've written so far, and I don't know when will I upload the next, 'cause I haven't time nor inspiration to write... Hope you like this chapter, thanks for the reviews and the messages on my Tumblr! By the way, I'll update "There's no sympathy for the dead" tonight, or tomorrow's afternoon.

At twelve o'clock I went to our bedroom. I'd been washing dishes; even if they didn't need it, the boys love to eat like there's no tomorrow. I would meet TJ in our bedroom at midnight, but he wasn't there even though he'd climbed the stairs before me. I started taking my clothes off while waiting and when I took off my shirt, I noticed how his arms embraced me.
"Ah!" I screamed in surprise.
"Don't be scared." TJ whispered with a mischievous smile.
"Don't do that." I turned, and saw TJ staring at me from top to bottom with a smile on his face. "TJ?" No answer. "TJ!" He opened his eyes and threw himself on me, falling both in bed.

"You look beautiful." He got rid of the clothes I had, without stop kissing me for a moment.
"What a rush!" I looked at him blushing. "And you're still dressed..."
"Just wait." He stood still staring at me, took off all her clothes, almost falling several times in the rush and how clumsy he was. When he was completely naked, I was staring at him.
"You're perfect."
"I know." He replied with a smile, then leaned over me and covered me with kisses, came up again when he reached my stomach. "I'll be careful."

He stood a moment to reach his pants, and pull out a condom from his pocket. After putting it in and without making me wait any longer, he came over me, leaving me breathless for a few seconds. He started moving slowly, still kissing me intensely. I put my arms and legs around him, and got closer to him.
"Faster." I whispered, almost breathless; he kissed my forehead, and did what I had asked. Soon we came together at the climax, and he lay on the bed beside me, both trying to regain normal rhythm of our breath. "Brutal." I said smiling.
TJ stroked my hair and then got up to change into a gown and go to the bathroom to throw away the condom. I grabbed the sheet and covered myself, still exhausted. He was soon back in the bedroom and lay down beside me, also covering herself with the sheet, and wrapping their arms.
"I see you liked it, I said I'd be careful." He whispered, kissing me on the cheek.
"Aha." Said I, falling asleep.

At sunset the next day, I was in the living-room with Ricky, Josh and Juliet, while TJ was upstairs taking a shower. We were talking about nothing in particular, when I came to hear a noise coming from the outside.
"Did you hear that?" Juliet asked as we all stood in silence.
"It would probably be an animal." I said, more trying to calm myself than to believe that.
"I'm going outside to look." Josh got up from the sofa, turning to the hall.
"No!" I followed him, grabbing him by the arm to make him stop. "It's dangerous."
"More dangerous is to just stay here doing nothing, and that whatever is outside comes here, and make a catastrophe." I heard Ricky say behind me. "I'm going with Balz, don't worry. Stay in the room with Jul." I looked into his eyes, worried, and he smiled tenderly. "We'll be fine."

I turned to go with Juliet as the boys unlocked the door; she took my hand, guiding me up the stairs.
"Let's go to Balz's room. The window overlooks the front yard, and we can see what happens." She said quietly, opening the door of my brother's bedroom.
We quickly removed the table that blocked the window –being vampires, we were much stronger than being humans–, and approached the glass, looking around to Ricky and Josh. Then I saw Ricky grabbing Liza by the throat, and Josh fighting with a guy broad and strong, wearing a cap and gold chains. I looked at Juliet, and we exchanged a look that instantly let us know what was going through the mind of the other. We broke the window with a fist and jumped into the front yard.

"You!" Liza shouted, trying to break free from the hands of Ricky, around her neck, while Josh was fighting with the other vampire. "I knew it! I knew you would become one of us! Kevin, knock him out and we'll advise the Council!"
"Ricky, leave her to me." I interrupted, leaning closer to my boyfriend.
"I told you not to go out of home, come back inside." He answered through clenched teeth.
"We will not be a fucking load all our lives, Ricky." Juliet defended me, coming to where we were and holding Liza by the neck, over Ricky's hands. "You help Balz, we take care of the little bitch."

"Heeey bro, unfair, you're four." Liza's companion complained as he tried in vain to dodge the punches he was receiving from my brother. I looked Ricky in the eye, asking him to let Juliet and me take care of Liza; he sighed, and went a few feet away to help Josh.
"Leave me alone, filthy sluts, when the Council know that you've been converted, they shall kill you and your nasty little friends." She grunted, and immediately threw herself upon Juliet. I was paralyzed, until suddenly the words of Ricky went through my head.

"That's one of the few ways in which we die: being beheaded, burned, or being stabbed in the heart with a stick dipped in holy water."

That was when, under my feet, I saw pieces of glass of the window that Juliet and I had broken. I took one of them, it seemed to be the sharpest one, and pushed off the vampire from upon my friend. I jumped on her, sliting her neck with the glass.
"Juliet!" I yelled to my friend. "Take another piece of glass and help me! If you cut off the head, she'll die." Juliet nodded, and soon joined me.
"Kevin, piece of shit, help me, dammit!" Liza sobbed, while her throat splashed red.
"Too late." We heard another voice, and suddenly a push that made us collide with a wall of the house. TJ was there, breaking Liza's neck and finishing her.

I looked for Ricky and Josh, and found them sitting on the floor, covered in blood next to the decapitated body of the another vampire, whose head was impaled on the spikes of the fence that surrounded our house.
"Is everything okay?" I asked, approaching and hugging them.
"Sure." Josh answered with a smile, while Ricky wiped the blood on my face with a hand.

"Are you alright!" We heard a high voice, and after the fence of the mansion we saw a girl with brown hair; at the moment I knew she was a vampire.
"There wasn't a problem." My brother got to his feet and went to where the girl was, helping her go over the fence.
"Who...?" I asked, puzzled, because I'd never seen that girl.
"It's Amy, Dan's little sister... she was turned into one of us a few years ago." TJ replied without letting me finish my question. "We should better go home."

We did what TJ said, and everyone –including Amy– re-entered the house and after closing the window that Juliet and I had broken, we went to sit down at the living room. I was a little scared, we were lucky Liza and the other guy had come instead of a strong vampire, and I feared what would be the next thing to happen.
"What should we do with the bodies?" Juliet said, with a grimace of disgust. "We cannot leave them out there as if nothing... I'll get at least something to clean the blood."
"It's not necessary." Amy stopped her. "Everything, including their bodies, will evaporate with the arrival of dawn. Besides... you have more important things to worry about."
