So, now you and Gregory are on the roof, watching Rookery attempt to hook something up to his truck.
"Shouldn't we be stopping him?" Gregory asks you.
You shake your head, "He doesn't know we're here. He just ended up here coincidentally. We'll get him if he notices us, but for now, I wanna watch this idiot electrocute himself."
Right on cue, sparks fly and Rookery yells out.
Also on cue, you and Gregory bust out laughing. Luckily, the moron doesn't hear you over the crackling of his truck.
"He's so stupid. He's trying to hook that thing up all wrong. I don't even know what it is and I can tell it's wrong," you say, laughter still in your voice.
Gregory laughs again, "I have to admit, this is hysterical."
You nod, "I second that." Just then, more sparks fly from the vehicle, Rookery screaming profanities in Gaelic (Irish/Scottish language if I'm not mistaken).
"Ha, I thought I was the only one who used words like that," you say randomly.
Gregory eyes you strangely, "You can swear in languages besides English?"
"Yup!"
"...What can you say?"
You look up in thought, "Weeell... In Italian, 'accidenti' means 'dammit', like 'verdammt' in German. Umm... Oh! 'Kuso' is something like 'shit' in Japanese... I know there's more, but I can't think of them right now."
Gregory just stares at you.
"What?" you ask innocently.
He just shakes his head.
You grin, "VENI VEDI VICI!!"
"What does that mean?"
"Umm... Nooothiiing..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"_____..."
"What?"
"Tell me."
"Nevah!!" Yeah, Rookery had eventually given up on the doodad and driven off, but Gregory won't leave you alone until he finds out what "veni vedi vici" means. Both of you are now back in your room, and Gregory still won't let up on you.
"Why not?"
"Because it's no fun if I just tell you."
"..."
"Yay! I win!"
"No, you don't."
"Aww..." you pout, causing Gregory to smirk.
"I know I've said this before," he starts, wrapping his arms around you and pulling you close. "But that pout is still cute."
You giggle and nuzzle his neck, "I know, and thank-you."
He just smiles and whispers, "Anytime."
Now, of all times, a random thought comes to you. "You know, I'm kind of curious about how you'll look as a human."
He looks down at you, "Why?"
"I don't know. I just think it'll be a little strange, you know?"
He nods, "Yeah, I know. I've been a vampire for so long... It'll be a big change."
You smile and hug him, "I can promise you that you won't hate it, Gregory. Yeah, you'll be more human, but you'll be damn strong, that's for sure."
He holds you tightly, "Good to know, and thank-you for agreeing to help me."
"It's no problem. Besides, I wanna see if you're still a pretty-boy as a human."
Gregory laughs and lets go of you, "Interesting motive, _____."
You stick your tongue out at him.
"Put that away unless you plan to use it."
You immediately scowl, "Pervert."
He laughs, shrugging it off.
A soft hum is heard from near the bed. You jump onto the mattress and pick your cell-phone up from the nightstand. You mainly have it so Tony can call you, since he's the only one you talk to who uses one. "Helloooo?" you drawl.
"_____?"
"Tony? Are you at home?"
"Yeah, I'm home. Listen, Rudolph and I found what they need to become human. I don't have much time, Rookery's coming. I have a message for Gregory."
You sit up quickly, "Okay, but where are your parents?"
"They're at the McAshton's place; hurry, _____! Tell Gregory to make the Call. He'll understand! Go!" There's a crash in the background, then a yell, and the line cuts out.
"Tony? Tony!?"
No answer.
"What's going on, _____?" Gregory asks, obviously worried.
"They found whatever it is that your family's been looking for. Tony said to tell you to make the Call, I think. Rookery's close behind them," you explain.
Gregory growls, "Come on!" He grabs your hand and pulls you downstairs. He stops at the arch to the den. "Listen carefully, _____. I need you to do something."
"What is it?"
"I need you to move as fast as you can and get my father's pendant. This is extremely important, alright? Get it and meet me outside."
"Then what?"
"We fly to the cliff, the one where we first kissed, remember?"
You smile slightly, "How could I forget?"
Gregory smiles back and nods, "Go then. I'll be out front."
You nod and lean up, giving him a quick kiss. When you pull away, you mock-salute and turn towards the living room.
With a last glance, Gregory turns as well and heads outside, leaving you to get the pendant.
