Chapter two
Kandie's eyes travelled up and down the figure slouched on the rises, examining the newcomer. Even though he was sitting down, she could tell that he's very tall. His jeans and tee-shirt was nothing special, just regular teenage clothing. When her eyes made it to his face she drew in a sharp breath.
*Wow* , she thought as she drank in the sight of his dark brown hair and green eyes the color of fresh leaves. *He's gorgeous*, ran through her head.
As if he heard her, he turned his head and looked right at her. Green eyes locked with green eyes, and slowly a grin spread across his face, which ended with a wink.
Kandie turned away, suddenly embarrassed at having been caught staring, her face burned as red as her hair.
For the rest of the day, the school was buzzing with news of the newcomer. It turned out that his name is David, and he's only going to be here for 2 months, visiting some relatives.
Kandie noticed that he was somewhat connected with Brutus, and sighed inwardly with disappointment. *is he as cold as Brutus? I sure hope not, I would definitely like to get to know him more.*
~***~
Brutus walked, no, more like stalked up to his unwanted cousin. He stood three strides away from David, his eyes burning holes into his cousin's back.
"You didn't have to come." Brutus said with clenched jaws, every word dripping with the anger, disgust and hatred that had developed between these two kin over the years.
"No, I didn't. And I know that you don't want me to come either, isn't that right, little brother?" David said in and amused voice.
"Why do you even bother to ask? I am not your brother, and I would be damned if I was."
David chuckled and turned around to face a Brutus red faced with anger. "Really little brother? In that case, more the reason for me to come and join your little, what shall we call it? Mission? Adventure? A chance to have some fun?"
David moved to leave the room that was boiling with emotion, and on his way to the door, he brushed passed Brutus, knocking him slightly.
"David!" Brutus yelled.
David stopped just before the door and turned his head slightly.
"I'm not your LITTLE cousin anymore! Not somebody you can kick around any longer!" Brutus' hands clenched and unclenched in anger as he said the words he had longed to say for a long, long time.
David smirked, "we'll see Brutus, we'll see."
Brutus was left standing alone, looking out at the ocean.
Memories swam in his head. Memories of the past 18 years, memories filled with terrifying images of the cousin that is 3 years older than him. Ever since he was born into this hopeless world, he was abused and ordered around by this older, stronger person. At first he was frightened of David, but this fear was laced with respect, and admiration. When he was small he had wanted to be like David, just like David, someone strong and beautiful, someone that could make others tremble.
His father had taught him how to hunt. When to attack, showed him what humans were good prey and what weren't, but David had never allowed him to hunt, his older cousin had always forced Brutus to follow him as he make his kills, and then letting Brutus share a little of the blood. Why he had done that Brutus never knew, but now that he's smarter he understood, his cousin was scared too, he was scared that someday Brutus would beat him, be better than him, and treat him the same way that he had treated Brutus.
But the young Brutus was stupid, and never saw the threat. His first kill, all by himself, he had actually saved to share with his older cousin, who at that time, was like a god he worshiped. But David had just snatched his prize away, and drained the human all by himself. Brutus couldn't do anything, he wasn't as strong as David, especially after David had just drained a human, so he could do nothing but watch his cousin enjoy the feast that he had caught.
Ever since then, Brutus began to hate his cousin. He no longer felt respect, instead he felt disgust, though the fear always stayed. Always, a shadow that lurked at the back of his mind was his all-powerful cousin, David.
A sad smile formed on his face as he remembered all this.
He had to thank his cousin, yes he did. He had to thank him for all the pain he had given him, thank him for teaching him that there's nothing good in this world, thank him for making him strong. Thank his cousin, yes he should….
~***~
"Don't you think that new guy, David, is gorgeous?" Granite asked Kandie on their way home from school.
"Hm, yea he's not bad." Kandie replied as she waited for the traffic light to turn green.
"Give me an idea, how should I …catch…him?" Granite's eye's twinkled as she asked this.
"Catch him? You? Nah, your not good enough for that?" Kandie answered as the car in front of her started moving.
"What are you saying? That you can do a better job? You're definitely not that type of person, and anyway, your no match for me!" Granite checked her makeup in the mirror, and took out her lipstick.
"Hmph, whatever."
"Anyway, he's mine. I've claimed him, understood?"
"Whatever."
"I'll take that as a yes. It's been a while since there's been someone worth my trouble." Granite leaned back, and put her hands behind her head as she smiled mischievously.
