-------
Last night Justin decided to sleep in the basement with Alex. He woke up to find his sister sitting on top of him.
"Alex what are you doing?" He whispered.
"Shh!" She put her finger to his lips.
"Alex." His eyes widened.
Alex leaned forward putting her lips on top of his lips. Justin closed his eyes as Alex part his lips with her tongue. She cupped his bottom lip into her mouth and Justin moaned. He then flinched when he felt her fangs bit into his lips. He opened his eyes to see his sister sucking the blood from his lips. He tried to pull his sister off of him.
Alex sat up and pinned his arms to above his head. "Don't you dare!" She looked at her brothers bleeding lip and smiled.
"What are you doing?" She feel in the fear she was instilling into her brother.
"I'm eating what does it look like I am doing?" Sarcastic while feasting, Alex will never change.
"You're not supposed to drink human blood." Justin trembled under his sister's body.
"I'm a vampire Justin, what am I suppose to drink?" Alex rolled her eyes. "You're talking about bank shit." She frowedn. "Tasted it. Hated It. Pour it down the sink. This won't hurt one bit."
Justin screamed as he felt his sisters fangs piercing through his skin. He kicked, wiggled, and squirmed as he tried to break from her grasp. She was too strong, he could feel her nails digging into his skin.
Alex continued to suck his blood, not caring that he was becoming weak. She stopped to look at her brothers, eyes slowly closing, and his arms becoming limp. She watched as his head fell to the side. She gave a smile and licked the blood from her mouth.
She bent over to licked the rest of the blood off of her brothers neck. He tasted so good. Once he was cleaned Alex sat up again and smiled at her work.
Just as she thought he was out. Justin arms shot up and his hand gripped around her neck. He slowly sat up, glaring into his sisters eyes. Alex choked as he squeezed her neck tightly. She gasped a bit and pleading with her brother.
He drew his fangs and Alex eyes widened. She looked back at his face, it wasn't Justin, it was Joe. He pulled her hair, yanking her head back and biting into her neck.
It was just a dream. Alex shot up in her bed, only to be faced with Joe licking his lips. He drew his fangs then he attacked her.
Alex awakened again. Another dream? She slowly sat up in her bed and nearly jumped out of her skin, when she saw Joe.
"Stop doing that!" She sighed.
"Been dreaming about me?" Joe grinned.
"More like nightmares." Alex retorted.
Joe just chortled and rubbed the brunette's back.
"Alex!" Justin was heard coming down into the basment.
Alex snapped her head back to Joe and told he needed to hide. Alex didn't know what Justin would do if he caught Joe in the basement. Though she never told him about Joe or he was a vampire either. Still Justin wasn't too fond of Alex being around boys anyway.
Joe was about to scurry and hide, until he remember he was a vampire and let out a chortle. He just stood to the side and turned him invisible. Alex was too busy to notice this power. She was fixing her bed and plopped down when she saw Justin jog down the stairs.
"Alex it's time for your shift!" He said then started to gagged. "Oh my god what is that smell?" He put his arm to his face.
Alex looked at her brother confused, she didn't smell a thing as she sniffed the air. She shrugged then sniffed her arm and flinched back. She then fgave her brother a piercing as she placed her hands on her hips. "I forgot to put on my scent." She then put her finger in his face. "Don't act like you never smelt an unscented vampire before."
Justin has never smelt an unscented vampire before. All his time spent with Juliet, she always smelled like vanilla. He was about to speak then got a wiff of his sister decay and almost gagged. He quickly cover his nose and mouth with hand and spoke through his finger. "Well hurry it up. I have a date with Juliet and dad said I can't go until you show up at the shop."
"Wait dad trust me to be alone with a bunch of humans?"
"Well technically you're not alone." He told her. "Mom, dad, Max and Harper will be with you."
"Juliet trust me?"
"Think of this as a lesson. Sooner or later, Juliet is going to set you free. You have to learn to control your senses on your own. So here is your start."
"You think I can do this on my own?" Alex.
Justin gave a nod. "I know you can do this!" He then smiled.
Alex started to smile and gave her brother a hug. Justin took a deep breath to block the smell from entering his nose and wrapped his arms around his sister. "Thanks Justin."
"Mmhmm." Justin hummed and Alex retract the hug and look a brother and started to laugh. He waved to Alex as she left the basement.
Alex couldn't stop smiling as walked back to her bed. Even with the simplest of words, Justin knew how to make her feel better.
"I always thought incest was intrigueing." Joe became visible and Alex gave him a piercing glare. He shrugged with a smile.
Moments later Alex walked into the sub station. She wore a black fitted tee with grey, black, white and red designing and wording, a pair of black skinny jeans, and with black. red and white wedges. Her hair was down in loose curls. Her lips sparkled with nude lipgloss. Though what she wore was dark, she was still the brightest person in the room.
Harper walked up to her friend with shocked and confused at how un-pale her friends look. "Alex how did you get your paleness to go away."
"Brozing." Alex snorted as she walked into the kitchen. "I'm ready Justin." Alex tapped her brothers shoulder.
Justin turned around, not yet noticing his sisters look. "Good you're ready --- beautiful!!" He looked over his sisters appearance. "How did you...." He touched her face.
"Bronzing." Alex pushed hand away. "I don't want to scare off the customers, so I bronzed myself."
"Good job, you almsot look like your normal self." Justin applauded.
"Yeah, Juliet taught me well." Alex smiled.
"Juliet bronzes?" Justin asked.
"It's better than make-up." Juliet said from the counter. "You ready?"
"I believe in you." Justin said as he gave his sister a kiss on the forehead, before pulling her into a hug.
Alex sighed as Justin retract from the hug and walked into the sub station. He locked elbows with Juliet before giving her a kiss and left the shop for their date. Alex huffed and crossed her arms and looked around the kitchen. She saw the food set up and ready to be fixed and plated. She looked out into the sub shop, that was barely empty with three or four customers.
"Well I'm done." She drily as she turned on her heel and opened the door to the storage room. Justin must've forgot to close the lair, because when Alex opened the door there was the lair.
The lair, a place Alex hasn't seen in months. She smiled as she stepped in. The memories that rushed through her head as she inhaled the scent of the room. She missed this place. She missed the sessions and how her father would get frustrated when Alex pretended to not care. Deep down she cared, she really wanted to be the family wizard, but that now would never happen or so she thought.
As Alex walked around the lair, getting the feel of the room. She spotted her old wand laying next to the big spell book.
"There you are old friend." Alex grinned as she held her wand for the first time in months. She tapped the wand on the podium and nothing happen. It came back to her that she was no longer a wizard. She sighed as she held the wand in her hand as she walked around the lair.
"You miss it?" Joe spoke from the lair door.
Alex almost jumped out of her skin, again, as she heard his voice. "I thought I told you to stop doing that."She then huffed.
"Then I don't listen very well, do I?" Joe joked as she sat on the couch.
Alex rolled her eyes at Joe and looked back the wand in her hand.
"You know anybody can use a wizards wand?" Joe propped his feet on the table and stretched his arms out before putting them behind his head. "Nice lair."
"Really?" Alex raised a brow as she turned back to Joe.
"Yes." He nodded.
"Would you care to tell me how?" Alex asked.
"Don't want to." Joe shook his head and Alex frowned.
"Alex, what are you doing in here? We need your help in the..." Jerry paused when he saw Joe sitting in the chair. He let out a nervous chortled then waved as he walked in and grabbed his daughters arm and whispered. "Who is he and what is he doing in the lair and who is he?"
"Um..." Alex tried to think up a lie. She glanced over to Joe then back at her father. "H-h-he is a-a-a friend and I, uh..." She gave up. "I can't think of anything right now." She shrugged scratched her hand and Jerry let go off his daughters arm.
"Um..." Jerry tried to think of something to say to Joe. "This is just an attraction to get more customer. Ooh a lair in a storage room." He chuckled nervously.
"I'm a vampire." Joe said flatly.
"Oh!" Jerry straightened up. "Okay in that case." He gave a nervous grin and pulled Alex to the side. "Alex what is a vampire doing in the lair."
"He followed me home. Can we keep him." Alex playfully joked.
"Alex?" Jerry gave her a stern look.
Alex sighed. "Okay!" She then looked to her father. "He-"
"Mr. Russo," Joe stood from the couch and walked toward the two, Jerry stood behind his daughter, it is safe to say Jerry is afraid of vampires. "It wasn't Alex's fault. When she told me she used to be a wizard I didn't believe her, she just wanted to prove me wrong." Joe made himself seem like the nicest guy in the world, he even flashed a bright smile. He hasn't done that in year.
It much convinced Jerry as he stood from behind his daughter, but he still stayed close.
"Oh! Pardon my bad manner, I'm Joe!" He extended his hand, "By the way you have a nice lair."
"Thanks." Jerry smiled as she shook his hand. "You seem useless." Jerry said and Joe gave him a look. "I mean harmless." He quickly corrected himself.
"It's okay I get that alot." He retracted his hand and looked at Alex, whom was shocked at how human friendly Joe was being.
Jerry, still nervous, smiled at he looked from his daughter to Joe. "Well you seem like a nice guy." He glanced back to Alex. "How did you two meet?"
Alex glared at her father. "Dad shouldn't I get to work." She pointed to the sub shop.
"Oh right!" Jerry turned to his daughter.
"You and Joe can catch up on thing for dinner." Alex smiled as Joe's smile dropped. Aled then flashed her michievous smile.
"I don't think your family would care for a vampire being in the house." Joe said through clenched teeth.
Alex throw her hand up, "Nonsense my brothers dating a vampire, we invite her over all the time."
"Well it would be nice to get to know other vampires." Jerry nodded. "I'll tell your mother set a plate at the table." He then realized what he said and started to laugh as he left out the lair. "Set another plate. Good one Jerry!"
"See they don't care." Alex smiled with a shrugged.
Joe became his old self as he stepped towards the brunette. "I don't do well around humans."
"Learn!" Alex said then twirled around in walked into the sub station, leaving Joe in the lair shaking head.
-------
A few blocks away Justin and Juliet were on their date at Waverly Bowl. A bowling alley that was connected to an aracde and a restuarant. They had just got through bowling, Juliet won with a perfect game, Justin didn't care too much,he knew she had been around for over 2000 years, she was bound to know how to bowl a perfect game. Lets say he did care, but he knew how to hide it.
They were about place their order for their mean when Justin's phone started to vibrate in his pocker. Justin excused himself from the table and walked to the other side of the room.
"Hello, hey dad!" He smiled. "Yeah we're about to place an order. Why?" His smiled faded. "Oh really?" He rasied a brow. "A vampire?" He smacked his lips nodded. "Moms making her nine cheese anchillada." He eyes got wider. "We're on our way." Justin hung up his phone and ran over to Juliet.
It was almost as if he forgot his father mentioned vampire. He heard about the anchiliadas and everything was just a mumble.
-------
Back on Waverly Place, upstairs in the Russos' loft. Joe sat on the couch next to Alex. Theresa wasn't too thrilled with a vampire, that she didn't know of, in her house. She mainly stayed in the kitchen watching over the food.
Max didn't care much, he thought every vampire was like Juliet, despite the fact that Juliet was the only vampire he knew.
"So how did the two of you meet." Jerry asked the question from earlier that didn't get answered in the lair.
"She was on a stroll with Juliet and even though it was dark out. She was the brightest thing that thing." He gazed at Alex, while she blushed.
"You're that Joe!" Theresa gasped as she came out of the kitchen. "Ohh Alex hasn't stopped talking about since that night."
"Mom!" Alex glared at her mother.
"What?" Theresa shrugged at her daughter. "What are you going to do, die from embarrassment? News flash you're already dead." She threw up her arms. "She has been---"
"Daaad!" Alex groaned.
"Theresa, dead or not, don't embarrass your daughter." Jerry pulled Theresa to the side.
"You've been talking about me?" Joe bit his bottom lip.
"Pfft. No." Alex lied.
"Yes!" Theresa nodded and Alex rolled her eyes.
"I'm flattered." He smirked.
Justin ran into the loft with Juliet right behind him. He ran as fast as he could.
"Did we make it. Is it done. We're here. Oh it smells so good!" Justin inhaled the smell of his mothers cooking.
"Hi everybody." Juliet smiled as she waved to the family. "Joe!" Her smile dropped as she spotted him.
"Juliet!" Joe stood from the couch.
"You two know each other?" Justin said as he pointed back and forth. "Don't tell you used to date." He looked to Juliet, then he looked back to Joe. "You're a vampire?" He asked calmly.
"Thank you Rain Man." Alex spoke up. "That has already been established."
"What are you doing here?" Juliet kept a mean glare towards Joe.
Joe grinned. "I was invited."
"My question hasn't been answered." Justin chimed in. "You two know each other how?" He asked.
"Juliet and I go back a few hundred years." Joe said then wrapped his arms around Alex shoulders. "Don't worry we never dated."
"Oh thank God!" Theresa put hher hand on her chest and let out a deep breath. Glad history wasn't repeating itself. Lord knows she wouldn't be able to deal with that love square.
"Okay now that has been established. We can get back to what we were doing?" Alex said as everyone went back to doing what they were doing.
"Alex can I talk to you for a minute." Juliet said as she pulled Alex to the side. "What is he doing here? I thought I told you to stay away from him?" She whispered.
"Well then I'm not good listen am I?" Alex shrugged.
"As your maker I beg of you to stay away from him, from now on." Juliet said in a stern tone.
"As your makee I beg of you to get that stick out your butt and let me make my mistakes on my own." Alex snatched away and went over to Joe.
Juliet threw a short fit and walked over to Justin was now standing on the terrace. She stepped out and she knew something was up with Justin. She felt the mood turn from good too off.
"How do you know Joe?" Justin without looking to his girlfriend.
Juliet walked to the ledge and took a deep breath. "Joe is one of the oldest vampires to ever walk this planet. It was bound that we would meet one day. How I know him? He used to be the sheriff of my area."
"There's more?"
"That was until---" Juliet stopped aburtly as her voice crack. Justin turned his head to look at his girlfriend. Juliet slowly lifted her head to Justin. "It was an accident."
"What happened?" Justin rubbed her arms.
"I didn't know she was of his descent." She breath. "I was so hungry that night."
"Juliet you didn't!" Justin wrapped his arms around his girlfriend.
"She was only four years old." Tears spilled from the blondes eyes as she recalled that night.
"A lot of people died that night, human and vampire!" She sniffed. "That was also the night my parents gave me a soul. It was to hide my scent that was left on the body and it tamed my hunger for blood." Juliet retract from the hug and gazed at Justin. "Don't hate me."
"I could never hate you." Justin wiped her bloody tears. "It was before you had a soul. Before I knew you. I can't judge you for that." He said and Juliet took a deep breath and held Justin closer.
"Thank you!" She said into his chest.
"Foods ready!" Theresa called.
-------
"So you don't do good with humans?" Alex smirked as she stood outside of the sub station.
Joe tucked his hands in his pockets as he shook his head. "Don't get all Sookie on me. I am not Bill." Joe referred to the vampire series, True Blood.
"I pegged you for an Eric." Alex crossed her arms and gave a nod.
"Why thank you." Joe put his hand on his chest as he was flattered by the comment.
Alex let out a chuckle. "Well Eric had a thing for Sookie and if I do recall, because that was one of the few book series I have read, that and Harry Potter. Eric and Sookie become lovers."
"Eric, Sookie and Bill are fictional characters in a book and a tv show." Joe shifted his head.
"What they had was real, you can't deny." Alex leaned against the wall.
"Are you insinuating that I might be falling for you." Joe smiled.
"Are you?" Alex asked.
Joe sighed as he looked in her brown orbs and stood a little closer. "Don't ask questions, you don't know answers to. Don't use words I don't understand."
"Love?" Alex said softly.
"Exactly." Joe nodded.
"Oh what the big bad vampire is back?" Alex teased.
"Alex what I did was a favor to you. I could have snapped every member of your family like a twig and drank their blood within seconds."
"But you didn't."
"As a favor to you."
"Favor as to I owe you back."
"Not unless you want to."
"I don't."
"Good."
"What are you afraid of?" Alex said he turned Joe to face her. "You were once capable of love and happiness, what happened to you?"
"I don't dwell in the past." Joe sighed.
"Who's dwelling I'm just asking a question?" Alex said while shifting her hand.
"Go ask your maker." Joe answered.
