- CHAPTER TEN –
"Dean?"
"I'll explain later, let's get you guys clean up." He curtly replied. "Where's your car, Seth?"
Seth was too shock to form a single word so he just used his fingers and pointed to his car's direction. He shoved them gently as they all get in Seth's car and Dean volunteered himself to drive Seth's car who miraculously agreed and went to their apartment. When they had arrived, they went inside as Dean locked the door and went to his room to get a medicine kit. The two were now quietly sitting on the sofa as they watch Dean bringing back with the medicine kit on his hands as he sat next them. Tending to their wounds. The two were watching him.
"You know, I can feel you guys watching me." He said without even looking at them.
"We're just surprised to find out that you are a hybrid." Seth finally talked.
He scoffed. "Yeah right."
"That explains why you hate garlics, it's not because you are allergic to it."
He nodded and continued what he was doing. He used his powers to bring an ice pack and gave it to Roman who catch it with his hand.
"Does that mean, it was you that we have sense from that morning?" Roman asked.
"Yeap! That's me." He sighed.
"And that's why you aren't intimidated by us after finding out that we are supernatural beings." Seth joined.
Dean chuckled. "Yeah!"
"And that's why you're pretty sharp and accepted us whole." They simultaneously said.
He laughed. "You're clearly pointing the obvious but yeah." He sighed. "The reason why I'm so chill having you guys around."
They smiled each other as Dean finally wrapped their wounds neatly on a bandage. He place his hands on top of their now neatly wrapped wounds by a bandage as he mumbled an incantation. It was a healing spell. Bluish spark with a mix of green light surrounds their body. They were amazed on Dean's power. It was majestically yet terrifyingly powerful only if used in a wrong way. Soon the light disappeared.
"There, you guys will feel like a million bucks tomorrow." He slyly smiled.
"Really? We don't feel any changes." Seth snickered and so was Roman.
"Oh shut up, Seth." He rolled his eyes.
"Thanks uce." Roman said as he rolled his shoulders and relaxed on the sofa.
Silence where now surrounding them as Dean went to Seth's car to get the food that they ordered. He served it and they ate quietly. Dean was quiet uncomfortable from the stares that he get from them. He sighed and just ignored them while eating his food until he was finished. Roman and Seth just smiled and leaned on the sofa, trying to act natural but after they found out that Dean is one of them, makes sense now.
If Dean is a hybrid of vampire-mage, how come I didn't see him sucking blood of humans? Or maybe he did kill a human and ate them whole secretly.
Dean stifled a laughed as they give him a look.
"For your information Seth, that's because I have a vampire blood in me doesn't mean I need a human blood for my survival. Sure they can be tempting but I don't use them as my donor. Animals blood are enough to satisfy my thirst."
Seth widened his eyes as Roman was confused.
How the fuck did he know I was thinking that?
"That's because I'm a half vampire half mage, dumbass." He chuckled as he continued. "I can read minds you know."
"Wait what?" Roman's jaw dropped. "You can read minds?"
"You heard me so yes." He nodded as Seth palmed his head.
"Guess we can't keep a secret from you then." Seth said as he chuckled.
"Unfortunately yes!"
"Can vampires read minds of all supernatural?" Roman asked in curiosity.
"Not really." He shook his head. "I'm the only one who can read minds of all supernatural beings."
"If you can read minds, does that mean from the very beginning, you already know that we aren't humans?" Roman asked.
"Guilty." He sighed and laughed. "It's not intentional but I can't just stop it when you guys think or worry too much."
"Why you didn't tell us that you already know?" Roman knitted his eyebrows.
"Well, it might ruin the surprise." Dean joked.
"Why how thoughtful of you to reserve the surprise until just now." Seth snickered.
They started laughing. They were impressed at him and interested to know more about him. He knows everything about them and they have to know everything about him.
"If you got any question, you can ask me. You know that I don't bite." He laughed as he snapped his fingers to hide his scent and his powers afraid of being detected which he already knows that he was already detected after being found out by his father's minions. He was cursing his father in his mind. He hate his father.
Seth and Roman had noticed that Dean's scent and powers were no longer detectable and they don't understand why he was hiding it. They could tell how powerful his power was that he can surpassed even the witches and other creatures who were thought to be powerful. Hell! He was even more powerful compared to Roman and Seth. The question is, why is he hiding it?
"By the way Dean, why are you hiding your scent and your power?" Roman asked as he scratched his head.
"Oh that? Well …" he rubbed the nape of his neck awkwardly. "I was hiding because of my father. Afraid that he would find me which happened. That's why he sent his minions to do his dirty work." He rolled his eyes. "He wants me to come back to where I belong." He crossed his arms.
"You don't like there?" Seth asked raising his eyebrows as Dean nodded his head.
"My dad was so controlling. My mom was one of the most powerful mage and my dad's a powerful vampire. As they met, they fell in love as what my mother thought for like decades and got married and crowned king and queen." They gawked at what he said.
Dean is a prince?
Dean just ignored their thoughts as he continued narrating his story. "When my mom was pregnant of me, she realized a little too late that my dad married her because of her powers. My mom want to leave my dad but she loved him so much that she had to do everything to change his dark heart and he kinda change. He was no longer limiting her time, not prying her too much and he made her special. She thought that it will continue but he returned to his old self when I was born after he sense that I am too powerful." Dean rolled his eyes clearly annoyed at his father. "As I grow up, my mom was one of the sweetest and my dad was … you know, controlling me and mom. My dad wants me to follow his footsteps and my mom wants me not to because violence doesn't solve anything. I listened to mom. My dad was furious and never talked to mom except me. Until one night, my mom was bedridden. It broke my heart. The healer said she was getting weaker with no reason. I was quite confused." He looked down sadly, trying his best not to cry. "I immediately run towards her and hugged her. She caressed my cheek gently and whispered about not to follow my dad's footsteps. I must restore peace and not violence and after saying those words, she died as I cried and cried."
"Where was your dad?" Roman asked while he patted Dean's shoulder.
"I don't know. He didn't even show up on her burial ceremony." He rolled his eyes. "He only make known his presence to me after her burial. He didn't even show any mourning. He was damn cold. A couple days passed, he was getting worst. Teaching me to be violent. He even screamed at me when I disobeyed him. And do you know what's worst, he wants to live inside me so that he and I can rule the world. I'm not gonna do that! I got so fed up about his so called world domination that I left. Masking myself in order for him not to find me for like decades. Because of my carelessness, he found out that I live with the humans." He sighed as he palmed his head. "So much for happy ending." He sarcastically added.
They get silent at his story. If Roman and Seth thought that being called by humans a monster is worst but Dean's life is difficult. Having a father who loves world domination is not cool. No one wants that to happen. If that's what his father wants, then they helped Dean. They will not allow his father to get him or they will be doom.
"Don't worry man, we won't let your dad get you." Seth smiled as Roman agreed at his statement.
"Yeah! Your dad is a douche bag."
"Hey! Stop stealing my lines, you stinky werewolf!" he looked at Roman like he was a fool. "That was supposed to be my signature."
"Your signature? Of what? For being an arsehole?" Roman smiled, showing his toothy grin.
"Oh please!" he rolled his eyes dramatically. "Signature of me being cool. How can you still not get it?"
"Well, you don't act like one, you grumpy poltergeist!" Roman crossed his arms.
"Who you calling grumpy?" he growled at Roman.
"Uhmm … Dean?" He rolled his eyes. "Of course you, you brainless poltergeist."
The two exchange insults and Dean laughed. He thanked his friends for helping and being there for him when he needed someone to talk to. At least, he had somewhat released all the burdens that he had been keeping inside his chest. He felt relief but scared at the same time not because of being hurt but because the thought of himself hurting others. His powers were too damn strong! And he hated it! He hated it so much. Seth and Roman kept asking about Dean about his powers and told them what he can do. They were amazed.
"With you being all so powerful, I think you can just flicked your fingers and the world will vanished if you want to right?" Seth asked.
Dean nodded as Roman whistled as he cleared his throat playfully.
"Remind me not piss you off then."
"Shut up Roman."
"No way! That's because you are a prince doesn't mean you can just tell me what to do besides we are friends." Roman smirked.
"And that's because we are friends doesn't mean that I'll spare you guys of my mischief." He smirked back. "If I feel bored then I might even try to play you guys with my magic a little bit."
They laughed and exchanged insults again and again making the tension diminish between them. Seth asked him if he was responsible for fixing his car and Dean nodded. Seth was thanking him that made Roman and Dean palmed their face. Roman had to knock Seth's head, who was sending him death glares and threatening Roman to kill him if he ever do that again. Roman wasn't even bothered at his threat and the trio were laughing, holding their stomach like it's there dear life.
"Gosh Dean! How does it feel to have that kind of power?" Seth blurted out as he put his arms around Dean's shoulder. "I bet it feels great?" he laughed and Dean did as well.
"Quite the opposite though."
"What do you mean?" Roman asked as he played with his fingers. "I mean, it's not that we're hungry for powers, it's just that it's amazing. You can do things that we can't do."
"Our furry friend is right." Roman sent Seth death glares. "Look at me, Dean. I'm a poltergeist. I got powers but not that strong as yours but I feel proud." Roman rolled his eyes at his boasting. "But you having that majestically yet terrifyingly …" he mumbled but still enough to hear it. "… power makes you more proud but I'm still better than you." He laughed and Dean snickered.
"I wish I could say the same." He said sadly. "Having these powers were great until you realized that it is too much to bear that it became a burden and you'll wish you didn't have it at the very first place." Seth and Roman fell silent as they looked at Dean intensely. "As fucked up as it sounds, I'd rather be a human than to have these powers. It's a blessing and a curse." He moved his fingers releasing sparks and sighed. "You have no idea how I spent some of my nights crying, begging my powers to leave me and just be a normal hybrid. No bullshits! Not a threat to anyone! Or a father that would look for me because of my powers." he smiled as the two looked down feeling sorry and mentally beating their selves. Dean had to chuckle because he didn't blame them though. They were just curious.
"We're sorry." They simultaneously said.
Dean shook his head that there's nothing to be sorry. "But I can still use them if I had to. I only used the basics. Healing and invisibility."
"Can you also do hypnotism?" Roman asked clearly curious.
He nodded his head.
They widened their eyes.
"Does that mean you can hypnotized us all?"
"Yeap!" they fell silent and Dean laughed. "And for the record, I didn't hypnotize you and Roman."
They laughed.
"But if I have to, I will." Dean threatened them as they paled.
Dean laughed so hard that he felt four hands pushing him as he landed his arse on the floor. He grunted as he rubbed his arse. He flicked his fingers as the couch that they were sitting disappeared and the two landed their butts on the floor as well. They were grunting as well as Dean laughed as he flicked his fingers once again and he was already seated on the couch while the two were still on the floor cursing Dean and threatens him but he shrugged it off and laughed his arse off. The trio went into a friendly brawl but Dean always win because he can predict their next move, thanks to his ability to read minds. Roman and Seth had to groan at Dean and kept telling him to stop reading their minds but he stick his tongue out like a child and Seth had to give him the finger as Roman shook his head like a father who was stopping his children to play mud. But after their so called brawl, Dean had to tell them that he might need to mask their scent as well knowing that their scents had been identified by Randy.
The two agreed as Dean surrounds them with his powers to masks their scents. He told them that other supernatural beings can't sense their scents but them only. Roman and Seth can now sense Dean's power and it is really powerful. Their nights went great, they asked a lot about Dean and they learn his true life not the white lies that he used to tell them from the very beginning that they met. They assured him that he will be okay and Dean just nodded but he knows that he will never be okay. As long as his father lives, he will never be okay. Sure, Dean is powerful and clever but his father won't take no for an answer and would do anything to get him as a part of his world domination. And that thought made him shiver.
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Honestly guys, I don't feel this chapter and it was starting to worry me that I might become a victim of writer's block. I'm not saying that my other chapters are great but this one? I don't know. I just hope it made sense to the story. Thank you!
