Chapter 4: left-hand and lady theresa
Okay, wow, so I guess ill keep this one going . For those of you who asked, yes, I have read the book, actually I own a copy of it. It gives me more opportunities for D to talk without being OOC than just the first movie. From now on, A/Ns are going at the bottom. I'd also like to thank darksparrow2 and Kitala for reviewing .
D woke to the early morning sunlight peeking through the windows. Phillip and Martha had insisted on giving him the largest guestroom in their farmhouse. He could smell breakfast cooking downstairs. He went to wash his face with the water in the pitcher on the nightstand. D's idea of washing his face, however, meant only splashing and drying it. Unfortunately for him, this woke his parasite up.
" You do realize there are more pleasant ways to awaken then to cold water?" it immediately started to whine. D glared at it. If the annoying symbiot wasn't so blasted useful he wold have cut it off long ago. Instead he just ignored it, putting on is hat and going downstairs. Lauren met him halfway down. She nearly ran into him, to be precise.
"Auntie sent me to see if you needed anything." The girl blurted out, blushing furiously. 'Didn't I tell them to stop treating me like a Noble?' D sighed inwardly, closing his eyes in forbearing annoyance.
"I'm fine, thank you."
"Um, okay then." The girl scurried off upstairs. There were certain disadvantages to being startlingly beautiful for a man. Lovesick girls were one of them.
" Hey, D you should let them treat you like a noble for once. You certainly deserve it. And I could get used to a life of luxury." There went the parasite again. If D were the sort of man taken to yelling he would have screamed at it.
"Shut up."
"C'mon, D they want you to treat them like dirt!"
"Do you want me to lop you off?"
"Jeez. Someone's not a morning person."
D ignored it. Maybe it would shut up if he went downstairs. He wanted to find out how true old Phillip's story was, anyway, and that meant going into town. He went outside to get his horse and was nearly run over by Lauren again. 'Wasn't she just upstairs?' his face didn't show it, of course, but he was confused.
"Ahh! OMG, I'm so sorry!" there went the blushing again.
" Uncle said to tell you that lady Theresa wants to meet you. She's coming here, she should be here any minute." Like magic, a carriage pulled into the farmyard. A young lady dhampire stepped out.
"Lauren! How are you/ I haven't seen you for months and when I do I see you with a handsome young dhampire!"
"Hi, Theresa! It's so good to see you again!" the two girls hugged each other.
" What is it with nobles and carriages?" the symbiot muttered under the cover of the girls' chattering. It was ignored again.
"D, come and meet Theresa!" Lauren called. The hunter walked over to them.
"So your name is D? I'm Theresa. Pleased to make your acquaintance." Said the girl.
"Yes, that's my name. It's nice to meet you" D remembered his manners and bowed slightly. He was glad his hat hid his face. Theresa inclined her head in acknowledgment. Lauren giggled at their formality.
" Let's go inside. Ill make some tea and you can get to know each other better."
A/N: okay, a slight fluctuation in my style there, I'm sorry! I had to find some way to get Theresa there! Review, please!
