AN- Sorry! I know lately
I've been kind of slow with this story. But I've just been having all these
great ideas for When Sunlight meets Moonlight! ^_^ Please read that story too,
but don't abandon this one!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Serena found a tall bulky
body standing on the porch. It was wearing a long black trench coat and a big
black hat, hid his face from view. It was at least a foot taller then Serena,
and well towered over her.
" Can I help you?"
Serena's voice came out as a squeak. Behind her, the group huddled together in
fear. Darien seeing Serena's pale face untangled himself from Beryl's clutches
and walked next to Serena.
Beryl, unprepared for Darien's leave fell onto the floor, landing
on Chad, who was sitting down. Beryl smiled at the young man, while still
sprawled on his lap in the most enticing manner. Beryl decided that making
Darien jealous was the only way to win him. That and maybe…. Beryl began
thinking, still in Chad's lap.
" CHAD!" Rei fumed.
Chad turned to see a red
girl with her hands clenched into fists by her side. " Rei, uh. I. Um. You
see." He stuttered.
"OW!" the poor boy ran,
dumping Beryl onto the floor once again, while trying to escape Rei's angry
hits. .
"Serena?" Darien whispered
into the pale blonde's ear.
Serena jolted and pulled
her eyes away from the figure. " Darien?" she whispered back. She moved back,
so that her freezing back was pressed against his warm chest.
The body in the front door
made some grunting noises. Its arms were moving in its big coat. With a loud rumble,
its arms pulled free, revealing a shiny weapon.
" Auggggggggghhhhhh!"
Serena screamed, as she witnessed the incident. She dove into Darien's arms,
head burrowed into his shoulders, hands shakily around his neck.
" Some help her please?"
the figure said with a British accent.
" Huh?" Serena said
lifting her head up.
" Sorry, it I scared you
me dear. There were these loose strings just bothering me from this dratted
trench coat. I was so intent on removing them, with this nail clipper, I didn't
even notice you open the door, dear. I apologize." The man said, bowing his
head, taking his wet hat off.
" That's okay. My name is
Serena Tenor. And you are?" Serena asked, smiling , no longer scared.
" Name is Richard
Blackshear. I believe that my grandchildren are here?" he said, smiling. " May
I come in? You seemed very comfortable in your boyfriend's arms; I'll just let
myself in. No need to bother you; just need to pick up my stranded
grandchildren." He finished stepping into the room.
"Granddad?" Aydrian
gasped, scrambling out of the tight huddle.
" Grandson! Where is
Megan?" Richard asked, looking around.
"Here! Oh Granddad, I've
missed you." Beryl cried, flying into her grandfather's arms. She sniffed and
let out a few fake tears.
" You prevaricator. Missed
me money have you?" Richard snapped back. He didn't buy his granddaughter's
concern.
" Yea. What are you doing
here?" Beryl replied, pulling back.
" Father said you were
lost. Since I'm so close, I'd figure I'd find out where ye have been hiding."
Richard shrugged.
" Granddad, I'd like you
to meet our roommates." Aydrian said, introducing the group.
" This is my boyfriend,
Darien." Beryl said, dragging the poor boy in front of her grandfather.
" My girl, Serena,
Granddad." Aydrian said, taking the shocked Serena's hand.
Richard smirked at this
display. Obviously, this wasn't the truth here. He looked at the embarrassed
Serena and Darien. They would be a cute couple together. He began scheming. He
wasn't the second richest man in the world, for nothing after all.
" Well, well. Seems to be
you have good taste. Glad you found your mates." Richard smiled, his mind still
elsewhere.
" Why don't stay the
night? Its awfully wet and dreary out there." Amy suggested, looking at the
drenched man.
" Thank you my dear."
Richard smiled at the thoughtfulness. Then he had a full look at the teens. He
frowned. " Don't you think you ought to change? Especially you Beryl." He
reprimanded looking at the curlers.
" Yes sir." And with that
the group went into their rooms to change.
" Would you like me to
take your suitcase in your room?" Greg asked.
" No, thank you young man.
I will handle it later. Go change." Richard ordered.
He settled into the
loveseat in front of the fire and began thinking. He knew that his
grandchildren were lying to him about their mates. After all, hadn't he just
seen Serena in Darien's arms? " What am I going to do?" he thought. " I need a
distraction. Those two just need a push in the right direction and a little
fencing to block Beryl and Aydrian from view. Where am I going to find a
distraction?"
As if the answer to his
prayers, the electric light went out, once again. He didn't fret much, because
the fire was still burning. He could hear screaming, but knew that the teens
would be out in the living room soon and will see the firelight. Putting on his
mackintosh and hat, he opened the door to get his suitcase. When the door
opened, a big gust of wind came in and swirled around the fire, depleting it. The
whole room went dark. " Oh dear." Richard mumbled, closing the door quickly.
Then an idea came to him. " A distraction, is all that is needed." He said with
a wicked grin.
To be cont'd…………………..
