The next night, after Sarah had fed, she made her way up the familier street towards Nikolas' house. In the driveway sat about five or six cars, of which Sarah knew belonged to the humans. She parked her car on the street and got out, making her way up the driveway. She could feel the auras of Kendra's circuit, they sent chills up her spine, but she shook it off, she could take anyone of them should she need to. Confidently she rang the doorbell, a blood-bonded human opened the door and eyed her up. She cloaked her aura some as to prevent attracting unwanted attention. The human let her in with a sigh, Sarah was surprised to see so many to this particular bash and all getting along. A clock chimed 11:30 somewhere in the house, it was almost feeding time. The black and white colors of the house bothered her less now than they did when she was human, although she still admired the art that was there. She could sense Nikolas and Christopher's aura's in the back room that Nikolas was obviously keeping private for only certain members of his circuit. She started towards the back of the room which would lead her to the room where Nikolas and Christopher were, but was stopped when she felt someone place a hand on her shoulder.
"Well, well, if it isn't the former Vida witch. Heard what happened when you tried to kill Nikolas." Said the all too familier voice of Kaleo.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the vampire who got his weak little ass kicked by Nikolas himself." Sarah replied brazenly. Kaleo looked at her with anger as she turned to face him.
"Do you want a repeat of the last time you tried to fight me Vida?" Kaleo asked menacingly, the group in the living room had by then diverted their attention to the fight that was about to take place.
"Oh what are you going to do break my arm again then let me go like a puppy that you can't have?" Sarah mocked with a smirk. She was getting to Kaleo.
"Your asking for it Vida." Kaleo warned with a small snarl.
"Am I Kaleo? I just thought you were admitting how weak your are when it comes to having those stronger than you are, wanting to fight you." Sarah said in reply. That had done it, Kaleo lost his cool and lept at her inraged. Sarah grabbed him by the throat and shoved him up against the wall, crushing his windpipe.
"Learn to control that temper of yours there Kaleo, that can bring you your own demise if your not careful." Sarah started as she prevented him from lashing out at her with his mind. He looked at her with wide eyes, fear and shock filling them.
"Leave me alone from now on. Consider this my one and only warning Kaleo." Sarah warned with a growl as she bared her fangs and bit Kaleo on his neck. She drank only a small portion of his blood, enough to demolish his pride for the night before she dropped him and walked off towards the room where she had first intended to go.
"Oh and it's Dakota, not Vida." Sarah said over her shoulder as she approched the door. She laughed to herself as she heard everyone talking quietly among themselves at the new fledgling that had defeated Kaleo like he was nothing more than a human. Sarah opened the door that led into Nikolas' private quaters. Sitting on the black leather couch was Christopher who looked like he had just rolled out of bed, with his hair loose and wild. Standing over with a small group of both weaker vampires and blood-bonded humans was Nikolas who tuned as he felt her strong, now fully revealed aura enter the room. Christopher looked over to the door and gasped in shock and surprise at Sarah, who smiled longingly at him.
"Sarah." he whispered as he scrambled to his feet and ran over to her. He placed his hands on her shoulders and looked her up and down in amazement. However the real shock came when he had finally fully came to his senses and felt her aura.
"Your aura, it's so strong. That means you've killed." He said quietly, looking deep into her black eyes.
"Yeah I have, but that's not why I came. I missed you too much." Sarah said as she moved closer to his body.
"I missed you like crazy. I almost went insane with worry about you, I was scared you would have decided to fall on your knife." Christopher said, his eyes were soft and broken hearted.
"Are you kidding me? Fall on my knife? Ha! No way, that would take the fun away from everything." Sarah laughed as she jumped up into Christopher's arms and hugged him tightly.
"Sarah I love you, please don't leave me again." Christopher said as he let her down. He brought his face closer to hers.
"I never planned on it. I mean I only live a second away." Sarah whispered, indulging herself in his sweet, loving scent. Christopher gracefully placed his hand on the back of her neck as he drew her into a deep passionate kiss. Sarah's mind was a whirl with emotion, his kisses were still expertly done, and had the same artisticness that all his art and poetry had. She drew back, his arms around her, and stared into his eyes, locking his gaze. Christopher looked her up and down once again, allowing his eyes to wander over her every curve, he had found happiness once again.
"You are so beautiful." he whispered romantically hauling her closer to his body.
"And your so charming." Sarah replied with a sly smile as she led him over to the couch to sit down. She nestled up close beside him, his arm tightly around her shoulders. Nikolas dismissed the others that were in the room and came over and sat down next to Sarah. The only way for a human to be able to distinguish between Christopher and Nikolas tonight, would be that Nikolas had his hair somewhat brushed out. The both of them now had their hair short and shaggy but Nikolas looked more kempt than Christopher on this particular night. There was no matter to Sarah though, she thought Christopher looked even more handsome with his hair the way it was now, it felt baby soft as she absentmindedly ran her fingers through it.
"So were have you been the past few weeks?" Nikolas asked, the question that was on both his and his brothers mind.
"In New Mayhem. That's where I live now, with Jessica Raisa and Aubrey in a house there." Sarah answered with a smile as she thought of all the fun she had over the past few weeks with them, more than she had ever had in her life. Nikolas and Christopher both nodded in union as they knew who it was she talked about.
"Is it true that Jessica Raisa, or should I say Ash Night, is as strong as they say she is?" Nikolas asked curiously, thinking back to all the stories he heard of her at some bashes.
"But of course. She has Siete's blood in her more than any other kind of blood." Sarah answered with a matter of fact grin.
"Then that must be part of the reason why you were so cocky when you defeated Kaleo just a short time ago." Nikolas replied.
"They taught me how to live, and they showed me my true power. They did so much for me despite the fact that they both hate the Vida line with a passion." Sarah answered honestly, she owed so much to those two.
"Speaking of Vida's according to what Nissa told me in private this morning, you single handedly made Dominique Vida human after you easily beat her in your fight." Nikolas said causually. Sarah knew he would bring that in anytime he saw fit. Christopher looked at her, his eyes wide with bewilderment that she could have done something like that so easily.
"Only because she hurt Caryn Smoke. Had she of not done so, I would have just left and not bothered." Sarah said with a small growl. She still hated Dominique for hurting Caryn the way she did, and if it hadn't of been for her love of Adianna, she would have not stopped herself that night and drove her knife into her mothers chest.
"Nissa said she saw her as well. How is she doing by the way?" Nikolas asked with concern. Despite her being a witch, he had always made sure that he never hurt a Smoke line witch. They were harmless to his kind.
"She is just fine, with our blood in her, she has become quite the fighter. Saved her ass again when Dominique came after her in Los Noches." Sarah answered. Obviously Nikolas or Nissa had told Christopher about Caryn but left out the part about her giving Caryn her blood as well.
"You gave her your blood also?" Christopher asked with a bit a shock in his calm, peaceful voice.
"Yeah, to help her along even more. She lives with us as well now, and she's not sure whether she wants to go back to school or not. However, if she does, Jessica, Aubrey and I have a good watch on her." Sarah stated as she placed her cold hands on Christophers, who nodded in reply.
"Christopher, how would you like to come home with me tonight?" Sarah asked, it was five mintues till midnight, and she could sense the feelings of bloodlust that the vampires in the other room were giving off. She wanted to fulfill her promise to Nissa and get Christopher out of their before the feeding began.
"I wouldn't want to intrude on anyone Sarah." Christopher started truthfully as he looked down at her, stroking her soft, shiny hair that he loved.
"Are you kidding me? Your not intruding anything. Jessica is in the library teaching Caryn Latin or some foreign language like that, and Aubrey is off probally crashing some bash looking for a fight. He was rather bored tonight when I left." Sarah argued lightly with a smirk as she thought of how hillarious it would be seeing Aubrey at a bash. He found them rather "dull" and distasteful for his liking, saying when he fed, it was either alone or with Jessica and/or Sarah. However, he would go to a bash just to pick a fight with some vampire only for the simple fact that he was bored.
"Well if your sure I will. You don't mind do you Nikolas?" Christopher asked, looking over to his brother, their identical eyes meeting.
"Hell no, go. It'll be nice to see you leave the house for once in three weeks. Nissa would say the same, I daresay she told Sarah to try to get you out of here as well." Nikolas said firmly as he stood up, Sarah and Christopher doing the same.
"Yeah, yeah she did." Sarah said with a laugh as she fished her car keys out of her jacket pocket.
"Alright then, since you all want me out of here, then let's go Sarah." Christopher said jokingly. Sarah looked over to Nikolas with a large grin on her face as she said goodbye before she and Christopher dissapeared from the room and reappeared outside by her car. Hitting the lock button on her keys, Sarah walked around to the drivers side door and got it, laughing as she watched Christopher look around in amazement at her car as he got in next to her.
"This is a really nice car. I never knew you had a Jaguar." Christopher said, his voice telling her that clearly he was impressed.
"Thanks, it was a present from my mother for my sixteenth birthday." Sarah replied as she started up the car and carefully turned it around in the narrow street and headed towards Ramsa where she could take the secret car path through to New Mayhem.
"I'm scared my shoes will get it dirty." Chritopher said lightly as he checked his shoes for mud and dirt. Sarah looked over at him with disbelief that he was acually saying this.
"Ah come on Christopher. I drove home covered in blood and mud tons of times before. It's just a car, it can be cleaned. See, here look under the all those books there." Sarah said as she remembered all the times she tried to make it home without the police pulling her over, usually still freely bleeding from a fight. She knocked back the books, papers and food wrappers the were stacked up between the drivers and passengers seats and revealed a huge dark stain and a wad of gum that was ground into the carpet.
"See that stain? That's from trying to scarf down a huge cheeseburger at four in the morning and losing ketchup and relish all over the place. As for that wad of gum, that's there for eternity. I tried everything to get that out and it won't budge." Sarah said with humor as she covered the stain and gum back up with books.
"Okay so I'm not worried about mud anymore." Christopher laughed as he held Sarah's hand.
"You know I don't think I've been to New Mayhem yet. I was there several times to Mayhem but that was many years ago." Christopher confessed sheepishly as he looked out the windows at the buildings that they were now passing by as they drove through Ramsa.
"Well in that case we will have to make sure you stop at Los Noches. Other than that your not really missing much. The humans have their places but they arn't that interesting." Sarah said reasuringly. The car was quiet for several seconds but that silence soon came to an end as the sound of Sarah's cell phone directed their attention to her coat pocket.
"Ah it's Jessica." Sarah said as she searched in her left pocket for her phone, steering the car with her mind. The ringing became louder as she finally found the phone and hauled it out, pressing the talk button. Christopher looked out the car window at all the stores and offices that they passed by, the light from the lamp posts and traffic lights reflecting in his eyes, making them seem more than just black. His mood had greatly changed since the moment he saw Sarah walk in the door, from depressed to excitement. Every moment he was with her, he felt the anticipation of not knowing what they would do next. It was funny though, he had not even recognized her at first when she walked in. She was now so much more fun of life and mischief than when she was human, her emotions boundryless. Her aura was so much more different from when he had last saw her, that night she died, from being that of a normal young vampire to one that barely the much more powerful vampires had. It sent pleasureable chills over his skin when he focused on it. He heard Sarah turn her phone off and returned his attention back to her.
"Was it Jessica?" Christopher asked stupidly, forgetting that she could tell who it was before she had even found her phone.
"Yep, she wants me to stop at the diner to grab some food. Human food." Sarah said as Christopher looked at her questioningly.
"Oh? I didn't think you guys ate human food." Christopher said with a grin as they approched the diner.
"Oh yeah we do. Wait till you see the food we got at home. It's hard to break the human food habit, and besides we can eat what we want since we can't gain weight." Sarah explained as she pulled into the almost empty parking lot. The diner was a typical 24 hour trucker pit stop, yet during the day time hours, it served as the best hotspot for the high school students to get some normal greasy food. Sarah remembered well all the times she had came here at the latest of hours a lot of nights, even when she was hours away from home. Dominique had always sent her to the farthered distanced places at the worst of hours. Thankfully enough, there was a new girl working tonight, one that would not recognized her when she walked in for what she was sure would be the hundredth time. Both she and Christopher rushed in, for they both sensed a hunter near by, and placed their orders. They were in and out of there in ten minutes flat, and Sarah sped off unnoticed, cloaking her aura, before the hunter, who was only a couple of kilometers away, discovered she where she was. About ten minutes later, Sarah parked the car into the garage of the house, which she made sure to do everytime she had her car out, in case any hunters came walking or driving by and recognized the Jaguar.
Christopher looked around in amazement at the mansion, which despite many of the other houses in the neighbourhood, was white instead of the common color of black. Over the past short time, the house which Aubrey had barely occupied had gone from being vacant looking, to an ironically enough, cheerful and inviting. All thanks to the three woman who now inhabited it. Sarah led him through the front door and through the house to the kitchen, where Aubrey, Jessica and Caryn were sitting around the island playing strip polkar. So far, Aubrey was down to his pants, and Jessica and Caryn were both dressed except for shirtless, with their bras still on. Christopher's expression on his face told Sarah that he was clearly flabbergasted that immortals as strong as this could be acting so normally like humans, sitting around playing cards like it was something you'd see any vampire do.
"Well I guess we showed up just in time. I'd say Aubrey your shit out of luck if you lose the next two rounds." Sarah laughed as she walked over to the island and placed the diner bags next to them.
"I'm well aware of that, and just for the record, I have spent the majority of the game letting them two think that they are winning." Aubrey replied, his pride broken.
"Uh huh, okay then I'll pretend I believe that and let you keep your pride somewhat in tact." Sarah said with a smirk as she met Jessica and Caryn's eyes. Aubrey grumbled as he put his clothes back on, ending the game.
"Christopher, this is Jessica, Aubrey and I'm sure you know Caryn." Sarah said as she introduced them all. Christopher nodded at all of them as she said a polite hello.
"Nice to meet you Christopher." Jessica said, pulling her white t-shirt back over her head.
"Glad to see you outside of school." Caryn said, buttoning up the front of her blouse.
"Yeah nice to finally meet you. I've heard many stories about you and your twin brother." Aubrey said, hopping back up onto the stool and opening the bag from the diner.
"Nice to meet you all. This is a really nice house." Christopher said earnestly, looking around once again in marvel at it's elegancy. Aubrey laughed at the comment, muttering something under his breath.
"So Sarah, have fun kicking Kaleo's ass?" Jessica asked with a sly smile. She sat down next to Caryn and hauled one of the diner boxes out of the bag, grabbing a fork out of the drawer beside her.
"So my aura tells all once again." Sarah started with a laugh.
"Yes, yes I did. Compared to last time I fought him it was a bucket of fun." she continued.
"Compared to last time, you never walked out of there with a broken arm." Caryn muttered, ducking as Sarah threw an orange at her, laughing.
"Anyway, we'll see you guys later. We're going to go upstairs and catch up on the last three weeks." Sarah said as she took Christophers hand and led him out of the room before anyone said anything.
"Ten dollars says give them ten minutes tops and they'll be shagging like mad." Jessica said quietly to Caryn.
"Your on." Caryn replied. Despite their futile attempt for Sarah not to hear them, they were knocked off of their stools and into the fridge as Sarah hit them both with a wave of power.
Sarah led Christopher up to the east wing on the third floor, where she, Caryn, and Jessica and Aubrey slept. She remember her own reaction to first seeing Nissa's bedroom when she had unintentionally crashed her bash, and she wasn't surprised to see a similar reaction on Christophers face. She knew what he was thinking without even reading his mind. Even though she had not managed to unpack most of her stuff, it still had posters of various movies and bands, as well as several school banners from all of her highschools. The only thing Sarah really cherished that she had wanted her sister to bring her, was the only picture she had of the two of them acually looking like sisters. It was a picture that someone had taken of her and Adianna a few days after Adianna had graduated, they both had each other in a sisterly hug and were smiling. Something that was uncommon for the both of them to be doing at the same time, together. She had placed it on her nightstand the moment she had found it in one of the boxes last night, it was the only thing she had been concerned about finding right then.
"So, what do you think?" Sarah asked, twirling around with a laugh as she plopped down on her bed.
"It's deffinatly not the type of room I would pin your name to." Christopher said with a laugh, taking another look around. The picture caught his eye, drawing him over to it as he picked it carefully up and examined it closely.
"You and your sister were close." He asked with a look of understanding, thinking of Nikolas and himself.
"We still are. Although she has to pretend that I'm dead with everyone else, and that she hates me around Dominique." Sarah replied quietly, thinking of her sister fondly.
"Then that is good." Christopher said, cautiously putting the framed picture back down on the nightstand, lightly running his fingers over its wooden, mahogany frame. He looked mysteriously up at her, his black eyes meeting her own. He sat down on the bed beside her, both of them sat in silence for several minutes, unsure of what to say or do. Sarah made the first move, drawing him into a sweet and passionate kiss. Christopher returned the kiss, his hand on back of her neck and the other on her hip. She layed back on the bed, breaking the kiss only for moment as Christopher crawled on top of her and kissed her once again. Sarah moaned loudly, undoing her shirt, sliding it akwardky off as she continued to kiss Christopher.
"Sarah are you sure about this?" Christopher asked, staring down at her. Sarah looked at him with trust as she undid her bra and took off her pants and underwear.
"Does that answer your question?" Sarah asked slyly as she seductivly ran her hands up under his shirt, placing them on his bare muscular chest. Christopher sat up and yanked his shirt off and rushed to remove his own pants and boxers. He layed back down on Sarah, only to end up rolling onto his back as Sarah laid on top of him.
"I love you Sarah." He whispered truthfully, and it dawned on Sarah that he was the first person to ever say that to her and mean it.
"I love you too Christopher." she replied. He kissed her once again, the longing he had felt for her over the past three weeks fueling his desire and passion for her as he ran his hands through her long, silky hair. He flipped her over on her back once again, and she moaned with satisfaction as he entered her. Each of her moans become a bit louder with each movement he made, his hands on her hips as he manouvered in a circular motion up and down on her. Sarah's back arched, a growl escaping her throat, digging her nails into the mattress, closing her eyes. Christopher started kissing her again as he continued, pushing hard against her lips. He could feel her fangs slide down, and laughed silently to himself. He had caused her to vamp out, as his brother would say, something that he was sure was a good thing. In all of his years, this was the first time he had had sex with someone since he had been changed. In fact, this was the first time he had acually gone on this long with someone ever. He remembered his last time, even though he wished he could forget it, but he knew that this was a lot different than the other time, yeah he was acually in love, but this time he knew that his being a vampire made things like having sex, more pleasurable. Sarah's loud scream brought him back from his thoughts, he lightly kissed her shoulder, hushing her. She kissed his neck, biting him gently and seductively, causing Christopher to moan this time, his own fangs coming out. After what seemed like hours, he covered a now sleeping Sarah with the blankets and fell into a deep, dreamless sleep.
Sarah felt the morning sun on her cold, pale skin as she woke the next morning. Opening her eyes slowly, she looked over at the alarm clock on her nightstand, eleven o'clock. Why didn't it go off at nine like she had forgot and left it at? Someone must have came in and turned it off through out the night, most likely Jessica, which ment that everyone knew and she would never live it down. Of course though they must have known before that, a human would have been able to hear her screams last night. Oh well, it could be worse. It didn't matter that they knew, because that had been the best night of her whole life, as well as her first time. She stretched, and careful to not wake Christopher, she slid gracefully out of bed, and dissapeared to one of the bathrooms in a unoccupied bedroom as to not wake Christopher as she took a shower.
