# Midnight Indigo. Chapter 5 #
(Blythe)
"Are you always so bossy?" I grumbled and put the car in reverse. What did it matter, Todd was getting a ride home and a lovely call to Mom right now anyway. I sniffed again and was overwhelmed by the scent of vanilla..my spray? "And why are you covered in my perfume?"
His cold hand suddenly shot out and began checking places on my body..
"What the hell?" I exclaimed and threw my foot on the break! He was now lifting the side of my top lip to examine my teeth. I jerked back only to have him examine my ears..
He sat back in his seat as though in complete deep thought. I was trying to ignore the strange cold heat where his skin had touched mine.
"I don't think you are one..I would have tasted it on your blood..I would have." He said more to convince himself..
"Why is everyone in my life insane?" I asked incredulously and threw the car back in drive before peeling it out of the school grounds.
"Where are we going?" He asked bluntly.
"Our spot, of course." I joked sarcastically and drove to the gazebo in the cemetery.
(Todd)
He didn't know how but he knew the exact moment his sister left campus. He could smell the certain rotten scent of the man Blythe had been hanging out with and assumed they left together. But where? And why? Why could he smell Tracey's peanut butter and banana sandwich packed away in her bag and he hadn't even seen it yet? Todd was hot..he was always hot now..
He could smell other dead things too..scents belonging to upperclassmen. The bell suddenly rang and he had to wince at the pain it caused him. DJ looked over somberly and headed his way.
"It get's easier, Man. Sam will show you. We can go by your place..check on your Mom and then go to the reservation."
"My sister left with the weird man I told you about." Todd said.
DJs eyes darkened and he jerked his head in a nod.
"I could smell him here."
"What's happening to us?" He hissed quietly. DJ hesitated but their History teachers voice interrupted them.
"Boys? Shouldn't you be heading to lunch?"
Despite all the recent events Todd's stomach gave a loud grumble..his appetite had been increasing.
They walked into the crowded hallway and to the cafeteria. Even through all the noise they could hear each other muttering to one another..hell, he could hear the conversation the dead ones were having down the long hallway. The male with curly blonde hair was standing like he was at attention..like he had served somewhere. The slim blonde flashed her eyes at him.
"This is bad,Jasper!" Suddenly both of their noses wrinkled in disgust and both of their honey colored eyes pierced himself and DJ. They had both stopped walking and were being jostled by kids passing for classrooms.
"Why do they smell like that?" Todd asked DJ quietly, truly curious.
"Us?" The blonde scoffed quietly. "You smell like wet dog." He could hear from down the hallway..
"Move on, Pups." Jasper said sternly.
A strange growling began in DJs throat and Todd, who only had Blythe on his mind, pushed DJ on so they could get some food.
(Blythe)
I exited my car in a huff and slammed the door. I looked up and saw James was already sitting on the wraparound bench. I didn't even hear him close the car door..
I met him and sat with a good five feet between us. He chuckled but turned to sit in my direction.
"Tell me who your Uncle is."
"My..,?" I shook my head. "I don't understand."
James shook his head and looked into the distance but I studied him. His long, thick, blonde hair was tied back as usual and it just accentuated his features. Just looking at him made my heart hurt and my lady bits clenched at the pleasant memory of this morning.
I wondered what it would be like to feel his hair softly brushing the inside of my thighs as he kissed down my stomach even lower to..
He suddenly sniffed the air and turned to me with slightly wider eyes..catching me staring.
"Thinking about something?" He asked huskily and then my clit twitched. He knew..
"N-no." I stammered and looked away but he was suddenly next to me.
His hand lifted my jaw and made me look at him deepening my blush...since when was I was so shy?
He let his cool cheek brush mine and whispered in my ear.
"You smell ethereal." His cool breath on my skin sent a new shiver through me.
"What if I don't want to?" I ask breathily..testing him on his promise.
"It doesn't smell that way." He eased back away from me, honoring that promise.
"Do you need my blood?" I asked quietly. His eyes cut sharply to my face and I could honestly see them turn a shade darker.
I moved closer to him..closing the gap he had caused between us. His eyes were mesmerizing as they studied my actions..and then..I bit my lip. I bit it so hard I started to bleed.
"Blythe!" He said sharply and went to catch the drop of blood with his finger. "No." He said and pulled his hand back.
"As long as you leave my family out of this..then this is okay." I reached my hand out and took his. "It's okay." I said more to myself this time..and it was..it will be. I guided his finger to my lip but right before he could touch me he pulled away again.
"James, I said it was o-," His head suddenly came down and his tongue lightly caressed my bottom lip. Crap, he smelled good. He sucked my warm lip between his cold ones and then..his mouth was on mine..was he drinking my blood still or kissing me? I honestly had no idea..but I moved my lips in time with his and then his hand tangled in my hair to pull me closer.
I felt like I was being scorched by ice from the inside out..it was such a pleasant burning feeling. He moved his lips from mine across my jaw and down my neck where he had cut me this morning..
A new flare of shivers ran down my body and I had never felt so good.. a car drove by to get to the cemetery but James paid it no mind. His hand slipped under the shirt at my waist but then he paused.
"Can I touch you?" He asked huskily and impatiently..there was a strange animalistic glow to his eyes as they stared at me.
"Aren't you already?" I smirked up at him. His freezing fingertips sent goosebumps along my arms and my nipples began to harden. He brushed along my hip and firmly grasped my waist..his other arm wrapped around my back and pressed me against him so my nipples brushed against his chest.
A small sound of need escaped my throat..I was throbbing between my legs.
"I'd like a little blood now." He whispered against my throat.
"Then take it." I whispered back and he took out his knife.
"What are you?" I asked him suddenly. His eyes focused on my face again for a good minute.
"I'm a vampire." I only paused for moment.
"Then why don't you bite with your teeth?" Was all I could think to ask..that and I felt like giggling at his answer but thought of all the things he could do that I simply couldn't..
"I would cause you immeasurable pain for days..," He said matter of factly.
"What about just healing me?" He shook his blonde head.
"It doesn't work that way..my venom would be in your body..it's painful." He knicked my neck quickly and then his lips were on my skin and it was just like in the bathroom.
It heightened every nerve, every cell in my body. I was glowing from the inside out!
"God, James. It feels so good..why does it feel so good?" Was that me whimpering in pleasure?
He didn't answer he pulled me closer..held me tighter. I thought I might burst with emotion and pleasure and then it was done..
His tongue caressed the wound and I could feel it closing to nothing. I made to pull back again.. the feeding was over..wow I'm letting a vampire feed on me.
"No." He said again and pulled me right back where I was. His hands gripped my arms a little too hard now..
"Ow..ok. James..let go." His dark eyes were staring down at me..and I started to get nervous.
"Don't!" He snapped. "Don't try to get away..I'll chase." He was starting to pant. "I don't know what I'd do to you..give me a moment." His voice was so strained that I stilled completely.
He took a few deep breaths and then released my arms.
"Now tell me about your Uncle."
"I..I don't know much. My mom said they had disagreements and she moved here. They don't speak." I stuttered through my lust.
"Yes. They speak." And then he told me everything that had happened after I had left for school..
(Todd)
DJ pulled in his driveway after school.
"Thanks for dropping me off, man." Todd said.
"No problem. We have to look out for each other." DJ sent him a white smile that showed a little of the sarcasm he always liked to use.
"Whoa!" DJ suddenly looked at the house. "Who's that?" Todd followed his gaze. It was just Blythe.
"That's my sister..I forgot you hadn't met her yet." Todd said. She was sitting on the porch steps with her phone to her ear, chatting away. Probably to Angela. Her dyed blue hair caught the sun as she threw her head back and laughed. He looked back at DJ but he hadn't moved a centimeter..just stared hard and long at Blythe.
"Dude, are you okay?" Todd asked.
"Yeah, I just, uh, remembered I gotta' help my dad with something today." DJ had suddenly gone a shade paler and Todd got out. He peeled out of there and as soon as Todd stepped out he was bombarded by smells.
His sister's usual scent of vanilla was mixed with rotten guys scent. He could smell his mom upstairs..also rotting from the inside out..and a new smell. A male scent..he smelled a little like DJ did to him.
"Todd, Uncle Reed is here." She was looking him up and down like a lab experiment.
"I gotta go, Ang." She hung up.
"What's Uncle Reed doing here all of a sudden?" He asked suspiciously.
"I love you." Blythe said out of nowhere and hugged him tightly. Where was this coming from?
"There he is! Haven't seen you since you were in diapers!" A strange man's powerful voice boomed out. Todd's skin crawled..but not in a disgusted way..like a submissive way. Should he bow or something? The big man clapped a hand on his shoulder so hard Todd almost went sprawling off the porch steps!
"Blythe..would you give me a moment with your brother?" She nodded.
"I'll go start dinner." She said and went inside.
"Todd..take a walk with me." The man resembled his mom quite a bit. Todd shrugged but dropped his bag on the porch.
They set off at an easy pace around the side of the house to the forest beyond and Todd suddenly wondered if he was in danger.
"Why do I feel like I need to take a bow?" Todd asked suddenly. To his surprise his Uncle laughed lightheartedly.
"Because I'm the Alpha of the Arizona packs..your Alpha and after we eat your sisters delicious cooking we're going to the reservation to talk to Sam. There's a vampire problem in this little town and we need to take care of it." His Uncle didn't pull any punches. "We're werewolves, Todd, and you can't tell your sister any of this."
(Blythe)
The food had been done for about half an hour but still no Todd and Uncle Reed. Where had they gone? I had come straight home and doused myself in my perfume also.. couldn't hurt. Was Todd a werewolf too? That's why they went walking alone...
"Go ahead and eat. They'll be back soon." Her mother had finally looked well enough to come to eat at the table. I couldn't remember the last time that had happened..
I forced my plate down quickly and put my dishes in sink.
"I'll clean tonight."
"Thanks, Mom. I'm going out tonight..don't wait up." Really I was going to meet James to learn all we could about werewolves and vampires in Forks..or other things. I found myself a little excited despite everything.
I almost tripped on Todd's bookbag on the way to my car but I got in and slammed the door in one piece. James was already sitting in the passenger seat and the sight of him had my heart hammering.
I pulled out and peeled down the road.
"So where are we going that would have any information on werewolves and vampires?" I asked.
He pointed me to the highway and toward the outer skirts of town.
"The Cullen's."
(Todd)
"That's it!" His Uncle cheered him on and Todd actually felt his skin ripple that time! His body was pouring sweat..they had been at it for hours and it was well past dark now.
"Let's call it quits today..hit the showers." Reed's voice commanded and Todd had no choice but to obey.
"I almost had it..," He grinned, feeling an animal waiting patiently within him..waiting to become one. "And you said Mom knows what we are?"
"Both of your grandparents were wolves but it skipped your mother and not me. Now you."
"Not Blythe?" Todd asked.
"No." Reed sounded so sure that Todd didn't feel the need to push it further.
"So when do I get to hunt down these vampires with you?" He was grinning as they walked back to the house.
"When you finish training. This isn't an overnight problem. It has to be done right by the Alphas and their Betas." The house was now in view and Blythe's car was missing from the driveway.
"The what and the what?"
"Like I said..finish your training." They walked inside to eat dinner and take cold showers.
(Blythe)
"Are you sure we should be going to the Cullen's house so late unannounced?"
He looked a little agitated.
"Something else you have planned tonight?" He snapped a little and my thoughts went straight back to my daydream when his hair caressed my inner thighs before he..
"If you want something from me..ask." His eyes seemed to look right through me and my hands tightened on the steering wheel..just like under gazebo, he knew.
I released a shaky breath and looked ahead at the dark road as though I hadn't heard him.
Think about anything else..but I couldn't. I wanted to know what it would feel like to put my thighs on his shoulders..for his ice cold tongue to flick and play with my..
"Pull over." His voice was rough..
"I can drive..," I said. I was staying in the lane pretty well considering.
"Pull. Over." His eyes were dangerous as they pierced through me. "Tell me what has you so wet so I can do something about it."
Goosebumps flared over my whole body..
"I don't..," I started..wanting to go for straight denial.
"Blythe." His tone had some kind of hidden power behind it..I found myself obeying but I wanted to stay on the road. The car pulled over and I still had my hands tight on the wheel..I was so nervous.
"Now tell me..what you want me to do to you." His voice caressed over me and rocked my whole body with a shiver. Fuck..we were out here alone and he was so gorgeous and powerful yet intimidating in this enclosed space. He wasn't going to let it go now..
"I want you to..kiss me." He tilted his head as if to say 'That's all?' "And lick me..," He began to have that small smirk of his on his lips. "Down there." I finished and finally met his gaze.
"That sounds equitable." His voice was shockingly guttural.
The next second I was alone in the car with the passenger door wide open. My car door opened and I all but fell out..into his arms..
He yanked opened the back door and laid me on my back in the backseat. I clasped my legs together suddenly in complete panic.. the hungry look on his face alone was enough to jumble my nerves.
"James! Wait..we're out in the woods! Someone could see..I don't want to..," I began to protest.
"It is what you want. You admitted it and I can't ride another minute with your scent on the air..," His fingers played the waistband of my leggings. "I'm going to taste you, Blythe. Here and now."
(James)
She was afraid..but not of him hurting her. She was afraid of him causing a pleasure so high it would shatter her. That's exactly what he planned to do..
"James..," But he silenced her words with his mouth and forced himself to slow down for a moment.
"Shh." He said and lifted her shirt to expose her stomach. He kissed her smooth, warm flesh going down. He was almost to the waist of her leggings when he felt a tug at where his hair was tied back. If this girl was going to yank his hair again like a child..
He looked up at her in impatient question.
"When I imagined you..your hair was down." Her voice had changed..she was slightly panting from need and he could smell her arousal all around them. In one fluid motion he had taken the band from his hair and pulled her leggings down over her boots. He continued kissing down her stomach and Blythe began to make noises that brought out his predatory nature.
Her white lacy underwear seemed to gleam in the night and by the next heartbeat they were off, too.
He looked up and met her gaze..her cheeks were pink from lust and he couldn't wait any longer. James bent his head, his hair a smooth wave brushing her inner thighs as his tongue found her hot slick heat.
