Pandie: Here's part 10, hope you like this one like the others.
*************************** PART 10 *************************************
Day two of being a man.
I wake up at about ten-thirty the next morning to the sounds of hard rock music.
I groan, as the music gets louder, I bury my head underneath my pillows and throw the bed covers on top, to see if that would drown out at least some of the noise. It works…sort of.
"I am going to butcher the person playing that music. Too early in the bloody morning to be listening to Korn." I mutter, the pillows muffling my voice.
A few minutes later I hear someone knocking on my door.
*Come in* I tell the person telepathically.
The door opens followed by a noise to indicate that the door was closed again. I faintly hear the shuffle of footsteps on my thick carpet.
The person climbs onto my bed and I hear the slight squeak of the springs and feel the bed sink under new weight.
"Nila?" The person asks.
*Yes Hannah* I answer still using telepathy.
"Mind if I sleep in here?" She asks, sleep sounding clear in her voice. "Thierry is downstairs working, and Jez and Morgead are playing that…that…noise! I can hear it worse in my room, because Jez and Morgead sleep just a couple of doors down. Plus I'm very tired." She adds almost groaning.
*Come on in* I reply, moving over slightly to give Hannah room to sleep beside me.
She pulls back the covers and climbs in beside me; she then wraps her arms around me.
"Don't mind me." She says.
*I won't* I reply.
"I'm just used to doing this with Thierry, it felt weird cuddling up to him last night, I'm not used to putting my head on a pair of breasts." Hannah laughs at the thought, after glaring at her, I burst out laughing as well.
*Are they that big* I ask.
"No. Not really, but it just felt weird." She answers.
*You two better not have been getting up to something you shouldn't have. I don't mind you two kissing, just try to refrain from doing anything else. I'm still a virgin, and I'd like to stay that way for a while yet. Besides, I'd rather lose it when I'm in my own body. I don't want Thierry to lose it for me* I point out.
"No. Don't worry, I won't do anything like that when Thierry is in your body rather than his own. Besides, it'll feel weird having sex with your cousin, even though it's not her that is in her body." Hannah assures me.
*Thanks for the visual. Good to hear you haven't been up to something like that. I don't want to have to kill the pair of you* I tell her.
"Do you not believe in sex before marriage?" She asks.
*No I do. It's just I'm not ready for that. I may be the legal age or over, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to go out and have sex with everybody* I reply.
"Nila? What are you doing underneath the pillows anyways?" she changes the subject and pulls the pillows off me.
"I'm trying to see if they would block out Korn." I reply reverting to verbal communication.
"Korn?" She asks befuddled.
"The music that's playing is Korn. K-o-r-n. The 'R' is back to front." I explain.
"Oh. I never knew that." She replies. "How do you know that it is Korn playing?" Hannah asks.
"Wait a minute." I reply.
I listen to the music for a minute before answering her question.
"It's not Korn. It's their lead singer Jon Davis singing. He's singing 'Forsaken' from the 'Queen of the Damned' soundtrack." I correct myself.
"Again, how do you know?" Hannah asks.
"I've seen 'Queen of the Damned' five times and that is my favourite song from the movie. I've got to ask Jez if I can borrow that soundtrack." I reply.
"You mean, you actually listen to that kind of…music?" She looks at me confused.
"Occasionally." Is my only answer.
"Why were you trying to block it out if you listen to it?" Hannah looks even more confused.
"Too early in the bloody morning for that type of music to be playing." I mumble.
"I have one weird cousin." She mutters.
"And I have a 'Lady' for a cousin. And I've got a 'Lord' for a cousin-in-law. Why didn't you tell me?" I demand.
"I don't like being called a 'Lady'. I'm only a 'Lady' because I'm married to a 'Lord.'" Hannah replies a little bitterly.
"You were called 'Lady Hannah' before you were married to Thierry." I argue.
"Fine. I was." She replies even more bitterly.
"Hannah?" I ask after a few minutes of awkward silence.
"Yes?" She replies.
"I've just thought of something." I continue.
"What's that?" She asks.
"The costume ball for the Summer Solstice." I point out.
"That's right. With everything that's happened, I completely forgot about it. Uh-oh." Hannah gasps.
"What are we going to do? I mean it's tonight isn't it?" I ask.
"Dammit! Yes it is." She replies.
"Well? What are we going to do?" I ask again.
"We'll ha to ask Thierry what we're going to do." She answers.
"Do you know where he is?" I ask.
"He was going to the main library. Maybe he's still there?" Hannah suggests.
"Look like we are going to have to find him." I point out.
"Do we have to? I'm exhausted." She moans.
"Yes. Now come on Lady Hannah. Get your butt out of bed now." I order.
"You sound just like Thierry when you give an order like that." She replies thoughtfully.
"Yeah. And I also look like him too you know." I reply getting out of bed.
"Oh. Here, Thierry sent you some clothes to wear." Hannah picks up a pile of neatly folded clothes off the ebony dresser, and hands them to me.
"Thanks. Wait a minute. What's Thierry wearing?" I ask suddenly aware that I didn't give him any of my clothes to wear.
"He came in here this morning about two hours before I did. He got some clothes and left some of his here for you." She replies.
"He thinks of everything doesn't he?" I ask dryly.
"You have no idea." She replies.
Both of us head out the door to Hannah and Thierry's bedroom to get clothes for Hannah, after I get dressed in a white silk T-shirt, blue Levi's and Thierry's black leather DM boots.
After Hannah gets dressed, we go on our hunt for the Night Lord.

(Medusa) "Alright. If you don't review this time…then Ash, Damon, Julian, Thierry and all the other gorgeous guys…
(Mare) "And girls."
(Medusa) "And girls, get it!!"
(All of the gorgeous one together) "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat???"
(Medusa) ::sniffs:: "I tried a kitten and I tried a bunny, so now the only other option is the characters that the lovely L. J Smith has created. I'm going to blow them all up. If you don't want to see any of them harmed, then please review. Again, you've got ten minutes to review."
(Damon) "But Medusa, if you blow us up, then who is going to write fanfics about us?"
(Medusa) "No one will, and that's the point."
(Quinn) "Then neither will you!"
(Medusa) "That's the point Mr Observant. No body loves me enough to review my stories." ::sniffs uncontrollably::
(All) "We love you Medusa. Don't do it!!
(Medusa) "I'll make a deal with you all, if I get at least five reviews for this part, I'll let all of you go…unharmed. But if I don't THEN YOU ALL DIE!!!"
(All) "Please review her story. We don't wanna die."
(Medusa to whomever reads this) ::looks at her watch:: "You've got ten minutes, or they die."
