Hey guys been a bit huh? Well That's because I was busy with work but hey that's life right? Anyway I we have one more chapter and then we have Freaky Fusion! So yeah but next chapter will be importantish because D will have...A DATE! That's right our little dhampir will be going out with a very lucky girl... Now that doesn't mean they will be boyfriend and girlfriend but it means he is at least testing the waters a bit. Anyway I want to thank those who faved and followed you guys help :) Now onto the reviews! GaspJr your welcome but sadly you will have stage two after this chapter, and trust me Elissabat and D are on my personal list as well, well her and Twyla. Cloud I'm glad you liked this past chapter and I hope the story keeps getting better and more epic. Matthew gemm pming means you private message the author. Blank Core Devil... Yeah D does hold back and that includes his vampire half, but then again with his grandfather... He didn't fight him full out and neither did his grandfather. A true fight between vampires like them would always have to be to the death. ZillaFan for your character go with what suits your play style as a roleplayer, that's what I do, and as for your stats they aren't bad and having a 12 charisma isn't bad just means your average looking xD Megamen, I get what you mean now, and yeah somewhat D's grandfather is kind of like him. Gemm1mt Don't worry D will be making all kinds of comments but the real question is... Do we want to see someone else go with D and the ghouls...say a bronze haired idiot and have him fuse with D? Would be interesting. Anyway I need to get some rest but I will try to keep updating as soon as I can. Anyway see you all next time :)
Clan leader huh? Yeah, I wasn't sure how to process that… Apparently, Nosferatu follow the strongest vampire and by taking down my grandfather…even if it I did it cheaply…I became the new Head of the family. Turns out that is what Elissabat wanted to talk to me about, she knew the ancient laws, I guess in the days before the Vampire's Heart that is how vampires chose their leaders. Now from what I understood about this I now was the ruler of a clan of psychopaths with super powers…. Yeah, I had to deal with these idiots sooner rather than later, so while everyone was still asleep back at the house I had rented I made my way back to the family home on my own… Stupid? Yes, but I felt like I could handle it. Since I knew the exact location of the house I could make the trip in a few hours if I walked… But I decided to fly up there so it only took me a few minutes. Once I got to the house I shifted back into my normal form and the moment I walked up to the door it opened revealing the older woman who was standing by my grandfather's throne the other day. Now that I had a closer look at her she looked young, but then again, I guess being a vampire makes it impossible to look old, even my grandfather looked young and he is supposed to… according to my mom a few thousand years old. She was wearing her silver hair up in a rather long side pony tail while she wore a designer gray suit jacket, a white shirt, black skirt, and black heels.
"Hello, grandson." She said her voice tinged with a French accent, stepping to the side she motioned for me to step inside.
Raising an eyebrow, I nodded at her, I guess I was right about her being my grandmother. Stepping into the house I looked around keeping myself ready for an attack.
"Your right to be cautious but have no fear, no one will dare attack you, not now." My grandmother said closing the door and she walked in front of me. "Now I can assume that you're here to give…How you say… marching orders."
"Yeah… Wait how did you know?" I asked sticking my hands within my pockets, still not buying the whole 'no one will attack' thing.
Chuckling politely the older woman shook her head. "It is not that hard to guess. Since you now lead the clan and given how you were the other day… I figured you would want to make sure we were, under control."
"Yeah… So…Is everyone around for a 'family' meeting?" I asked with a raised eyebrow, looking around I blinked and shook my head. "You guys already repaired the hole in the wall?"
"We are quick when it comes to those kind of things, you will find that we also fixed the table that you destroyed. As to the meeting, there will be no need. I will be acting as your proxy and voice since I assume you will be returning to the states, yes?" My grandmother asked.
"Mhm, so wait you'll run everything for me?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. "Do you even know what I want?"
"For you and your family to be left alone, and for us to keep to ourselves?" The older woman said looking at me with an amused expression.
Nodding I placed my hands into my pockets. "Yeah, how did you- "
"I can read minds, it is my gift. Now if there isn't anything else I have much to attend to, I will contact you if there is anything we need from you. Until then may show yourself out." And like that my grandmother turned around walked away somewhere into the house.
Watching her go I simply shook my head. "Wait I didn't even her give her my contact… She can read minds… Freaky." Rubbing the bridge of my nose I started to walk away but stopped when I felt something watching me…Turning around I saw my cousins… The ones that I threw around. Raising an eyebrow, I crossed my arms across my chest. "What?"
Grinning nervously Luna rubbed the back of her head. "Hey… we…"
"Forget it." I said sighing as I shook my head. "Just leave me be and we'll be square."
Nodding both walked away, sighing I shook my head and walked out of the door, and started to head back to the place I rented. As I walked away from the house I slowly shifted into my bat form and headed back. The flight back was uneventful luckily and once I changed into my mist form and slipped through under the cracks of the rental house door and into the room I was staying in I found a very shocking surprise, Elissabat was there waiting for me, she was sitting in a chair with her feet propped on my bed with a book in her hands. Looking a little closer she had on a pair of new glasses not those blocky ones she normally wore.
Slowly shifting back into my human form, I didn't say anything I just slowly slipped off my jacket and beanie and fell back onto the bed, if Elissabat knew I was there she didn't say anything. We both rested in comfortable silence, her in her chair, me on my bed. I'm not sure how long we just sat there in silence but eventually the Vampire Queen closed her book and removed her glasses and looked at me with a small frown. "How did it go?"
Raising an eyebrow, I looked at her but didn't say anything.
"D, I know you went back to the house, I had a feeling you wanted to make sure they would leave you alone. So, I will repeat my question. How did it go?" The Vampire Queen gave me a calculated look as she rested her chin on her hands.
Sighing I sat up and crossed my legs, placing both of my hands on my knees I shrugged. "It went… Okay I guess, they were cordial. My grandmother will be acting as my proxy and my voice, and if they need me they will get in contact with me."
"Standard procedure, even in the court I have a proxy who speaks with my authority when I can't be there." Elissabat shrugged and smiled. "And you weren't attacked?"
"No, they left me alone." Rubbing my knees, I closed my eyes. "And as far as my family is concerned they are off limits."
"Good, I'm glad to hear that." Leaning back the Vampire Queen gently tapped her fingers along her book, as I looked at her I could tell she was nervous about something, but I couldn't tell what. "D… I must ask you something, and you don't have to answer but, I need to know this. How do you feel about me?"
Blinking…. I… I had no real idea on how to answer this, if I say the wrong thing I could ruin a friendship and if I say the right thing…I could really make things weird… Though now that I had a moment… How did I feel about Elissabat? I did like her, she was cute, we had fun together, and we got along. However, did I like her in the way I think she was asking me but… Was I ready for something more serious than a friendship? Biting my lip, I thought over everything and sighed.
"I like you Elissabat." I finally said. "And not just in a friend way, but I don't know if- "
Reaching out Elissabat touched a finger to my lips and shook her head. "Relax D, I feel the way the same, I just wanted to know is all. However, given my time as a Boovie star and working in the Vampire Court, a relationship… I don't think it would work at least not right now. Plus, we're teenagers and D you and I will live for a long, long, long time. I'm willing to wait." Smiling the purple haired girl gently kissed my cheek and slowly stood up and walked out of the room, leaving me alone in my room.
"… Well that just happened."
The next day was filled with everyone slowly packing everything up and heading back to the airport expect for Elissabat who needed to go back to Transylvania, and so she left us all but not without promising she would visit as soon as she could. Before leaving though I picked up my bike from where I had it, my dad and I both agreed it would be probably best if I flew back home with my bike, but he didn't want me going alone, so Clawdeen volunteered for the job of keeping my company. So, while everyone else flew back to the state's first class, Clawdeen and I both flew in the back of a cargo plane but hey at least we had each other? So, yay? Well as the plane flew Clawdeen and I both sat silence, not that awkward silence just a nice comfortable one, where nothing really had to be said to one another but I really doubt that the silence would last long. I mean who could keep quiet for ten hours straight and still be awake?
Finally, the silence was broken by the werewolf girl shuffling through her bag and she pulled out a drawing pad and a pencil and started to work on something, looking over her shoulder slightly, I was a little surprised at what she was drawing, it looked like a cosplay outfit expect more…fashion like. The costume reminded me of Wonder Woman only werewolf like.
"So… What are you working on?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
Blushing slightly Clawdeen covered it up before clearing her throat. "Oh… It's nothing just you know… a new design."
"Cool, cool." Shrugging I closed my eyes and placed my hands behind my head. "From what I saw it looked good."
"Thanks D… I was kind of inspired to draw something cosplay like after seeing your stuff." She said slowly lowering her drawing pad enough for me to get a good look, turning my head I chuckled slightly which caused Clawdeen to raise an eyebrow. "See this is why I didn't want anyone to see it, they would laugh."
"I'm not laughing because it's bad." Rolling my eyes, I gently tapped her drawing. "I'm laughing because it would fit in perfectly with a comic that Ghoulia was having us make in the comic club, and she was looking for a new character to add, you should this to her."
"Really? You think it's good enough?" The werewolf girl asked.
"Yeah, when we get back you should have Ghoulia check it out." Nodding I leaned against the back wall of the plane and closed my eyes, but they didn't stay closed long as I felt something warm on my cheek. Opening an eye, I saw Clawdeen was giving me a small peck on the cheek.
"Thanks, your sweet."
Blushing slightly, I smiled at her and shook my head. "Just being honest."
"Still…D may I ask you a question?" Clawdeen said moving in front of me.
Raising an eyebrow, I motioned for her to go on, I had a feeling I knew what this was about and I had no idea where it would go.
"Well… I now this is going to sound weird coming from me, but I like you alright, and not just as a friend. I know it is kind of sucky because my little sis has a thing for you but- "Clawdeen started to say but stopped when I touched her shoulder.
"You're rambling, and Clawdeen you can't help how you feel." Shrugging I rubbed the bridge of my nose. "To be honest Clawdeen… I don't know how I feel about you, I mean I like you as a friend but… But for anything else, well… I wouldn't say no to you and I going out for some coffee or something, maybe a movie and see if there is something there. That work for you?" Blushing slightly Clawdeen nodded and… The rest of the plane ride was much more pleasant….Wait did I just agree to go on a date with Clawdeen?
