"EERRRIIIKK!!" I screamed. It was really him! He had changed so much! "ERIK!!" I began flapping my arms around, mimicking his actions.
"HEY! GEN!" Erik yelled. "COME OVER HERE!" Oh, I guess that would help. I ran full speed, my long legs reaching out. In retrospect, I really shouldn't have done that, or at least watched out seeing as I ran right into a tall teenage boy.
"Woo, I see stars," I stated in a daze. Scary thing is, I actually did. "Holy shit," The boy lifted up his head and fake scowled at me.
"Shit is not Holy, for your information," he remarked in mock solemness. His green eyes sparkled a little as he helped me up. "Hi, I'm Cohl," he said, now smiling brightly.
"Oh, I'm Genevieve," I said awkwardly, looking at my feet. "Uh, I gotta go talk to Erik, I mean, Professor Night or, uh, okay. Bye." I babbled. Damn, I was stupid. Looking up, I saw Erik laughing while walking towards me. Grabbing my hand, he helped me up.
"Thank you for running over my little sister, Mr. Lewis," Erik stated, amused. The boy just blinked. It was obvious that he was shocked. "Genevieve, it's great to see you! I was wondering when you'd finally get here," My brother smiled happily. It was odd to call him my brother. He was not the Erik I remembered. He was older, smarter and just all together different. I scanned his face for the remnants of my goofy, child-like sibling. It was there, but not nearly as noticeable. Whoever his wife was, she sure had whipped him good.
"Erik!" I hugged him like a little child. "Ohmigosh! I just, just cannot believe it!" I screamed. "Okay, I can't take it! Zoey told me you were married to someone! Dammit, why didn't you tell me!" A look of sheer shock crossed his face. Oh, right. Last time I'd seen him, I didn't curse. Oh, well.
"She did? Oh." Erik's face fell. "Well, uh, sorry. I wasn't really supposed to tell any humans. Of course, she can tell Mom next time you see her. Oh, by any chance, did Zoey tell you who I married?"
"Er, no, why?" I looked next to me and saw that Cohl was still standing there. His face was blank, emotionless.
"No reason. Hey, um, Gen, I have to go... plan my lessons for tomorrow. Maybe, Cohl here, can help you find your room and schedule?" It wasn't a question. Cohl nodded and took my arm. Erik walked off in the other direction.
"What's his problem?" I asked, looking at Cohl.
"Well, he probably is upset because his little sister is now in on everything he does. It's gotta be bothering him. Plus, there is the chance that he could loose you," Cohl wasn't particularly interested going on, like death wasn't really what he felt like talking about.
"I thought that Professor Johnson took care of those who, you know,"
"Stevie Rae? She can only do so much. Not everyone regains humanity," He looked at the ground. I dropped it, trying not to make the first person I'd met uncomfortable. I just sort of followed him in silence, that is, until he broke it. "So, here's your room. Your roommate is inside and she has your schedule and can answer all your questions. If you need me, here's my number," He took out a pen and wrote down seven digits on my hand. Well, at least, I wouldn't lose it.
Walking inside the room, I saw a little red-headed girl sitting on the floor, surrounded by newspapers. "Dammit! I can't find any good pictures in here!" She screeched. "Damn! Why the fuck did I make that bet?" I cleared my throat, quite loudly, I might add. She looked up, startled by my presence. "Oh, I'm so sorry! I'm Michelle Logan, your roommate. Please don't think I'm crazy, I just lost a bet with a friend," She spoke quickly and loudly, fitting it all in about five seconds.
"Um, nice to meet you. I'm Genevieve Night." Oh wonderful, more awkward introductions. Just freaking great.
"Night? Ohmigosh! You must be Professor Night's sister! I didn't know you were going to be living here! Wow, this is just...wow!" She was pretty shocked. Man, was I a celebrity here or what?
"Oh, ah, yeah. Erik's my brother,"
"Wow, ohmigosh! ...Wait, sorry, you probably don't want people treating you special, do you?" Her eyes screamed apology.
"No, not really. I kinda just want to fit in,"
"Okay, I got it! Okay, so let me show where everything is!"
A/N Alright, here it is! Chapter 3! So, anyway, I'm coughing like crap and I keep waiting for a tracker to show up. He hasn't yet. Maybe, I should move to Tulsa... Oh, and I made a cover for Tenebra in Mortis! Like a book! To see my crappy editting job (Which includes a picture of how I think Gen looks) go to my profile! Enjoy and review, ma cheries!
