Exams are done tomorrow so updates are back to normal! Hope you like it!
Chapter Fourteen
Carolyn had been trying to sleep all night but her mind was on other things and it was impossible to even relax. She knew that vampires didn't need to sleep so she wasn't in the mood to waste her time sleeping. The only thing that kept her in bed was Andy's arm wrapped around her waist. He knew that she wouldn't be able to sleep but just being next to her was so enjoyable that he didn't want to move. When the sun set Carolyn began to move around in bed and Andy released his grip on her so she could stand up and as soon as she was out of bed Andy was out too.
"How was your night?" Andy asked Carolyn and it caused her to grin. She leaned in closer to him and wrapped her arms around his waist.
"It was my morning" She corrected with a cheeky grin. Andy rolled his eyes in a playful way but still leaned down to peck her lips with his own. She was tempted to pull him even closer but she didn't want to seem desperate so she just left it. She turned away from him and began to look through her wardrobe for clothes that she could wear. She finally settled on a plain white tee shirt and black skinny jeans. When she had finished getting dressed she ran a brush through her hair quickly. Just as she was about to leave Andy grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. She gave him a questioning look and he picked up the eye liner pencil that lay on her old wooden dresser.
"Close your eyes" He ordered. To a strangers eyes he could have seemed quite abrupt but Carolyn was used to him and she liked his get-to-the-point attitude. She obeyed him and he began to make the fine line that she normally done. It was a little more outrageous that she normally goes for but she loved it all the same.
"Thank you" Carolyn sighed as she looked at herself in the mirror. When she saw Andy by her side a grin spread on her face. Andy leaned down and kissed her neck lightly and then looked back up with a warm smile on his face.
"You always look lovely with eye liner" Andy mumbled into her neck. His breath caused her to shiver but it was in the good way. He took her hand and they left her bedroom. As soon as the door was closed they were in the spooky looking hallway. It always shocked you when you stood on the hallway since you had just been in a normal teenager's room that was attacked with posters and CD's lying over the desk. They walked down the creaky staircase that normally always made Carolyn feel uneasy but today she was comforted by it. When they reached the corridor downstairs they could see the living room and sitting on the sofa in that room was Aurora and Jake. Carolyn had to fight the urge not to slap herself in the face with shock as what she saw made her almost gasp. Aurora and Jake were sitting on the sofa and Jake had his arm around her while she kissed him.
"I know you're there" Jake said and it almost made Carolyn scream. He had shown no signs of knowing that she was intruding on a private moment.
"I'm sorry" Carolyn said and just as she was about to turn away and leave the room so Jake and Aurora could get back to whatever they wanted to do Aurora spoke up.
"It's ok you can stay" Aurora said and Andy and Carolyn turned back to the direction of the living room and walked in. Just as Carolyn was about to sit on the couch she stumbled slightly but luckily Andy was there to catch her before she could hit the ground.
"Are you ok?" Andy asked. Carolyn attempted a nod but she had been so shaken up by it that she couldn't even manage that.
"You need to feed" Jake said as though it was everyday conversation. Carolyn almost had to choke back a whine at the thought of drinking a human's blood. Andy could sense this so he sent her a silent message with his eyes and the message was basically him begging her to do it. She nodded slightly and Andy guided her towards the kitchen. He had to hold onto her tightly to stop her from walking into the table. He opened the fridge door to reveal mostly human food but at the bottom shelf there was bottles of blood. Andy picked one up for her and handed it to her. She looked at him uneasily but he smiled his reassurance. She pulled the top off and looked at it for a few seconds before pressing it to her lips and taking a few sips from it. She took a few seconds to decide if she liked it but soon she had downed the bottle and was rinsing it out.
"Was that so bad?" Andy asked with a cheeky grin on his face. Now that Carolyn was feeling better she was able to wrap her arms around his neck and press her own lips to hers. Andy placed his hands on the small of her back and kissed back a little bit more forceful than she was so he was towering over her. She let one leg rise off the ground she it was like they were dancing and he had just done the dip.
"I can hear you" Jake sang from the living room but that didn't stop them from kissing. A little think like Jake Pitts wasn't anything compared to the love that they were experiencing at the moment.
They finally broke off from each other and took deep breaths that they didn't even need considering the fact that they are vampires.
"What do you want to do today?" Carolyn asked. Andy looked up to the ceiling as he tried to decide of something good to do.
"Why don't we go out?" Andy asked. Carolyn looked uneasy and finally decided to tell Andy something that had been bugging her.
"Are you sure I won't want to drink somebody's blood?" Carolyn asked. Andy ran his hand through her hair and smiled lightly at her.
"All vampires have the need to feed but it's easy to control. You just have to think about not harming the person" Andy explained. Carolyn nodded but she still felt a little worried. Andy took her hand again and tried his best to calm her down.
"What about those other vampires who drain humans?" Carolyn asked. Andy sighed slightly and got ready to launch into another explanation but then realised that he could explain using three simple words.
"They. Are. Evil." Andy said. He paused after each word to get the message across and Carolyn giggled slightly.
"I'll try it" Carolyn sighed and a smile broke out on Andy's face. He began to lead her out of the house. When they reached the living room Jake and Aurora were no longer kissing and they sent a little wave to them before they left.
"I'll protect you anyway so you'll have nothing to worry about" Andy sighed as he could tell that Carolyn was still a little worried about everything. When he said that he would protect she instantly felt like someone had took a huge weight off her shoulders and she could walk with a little spring in her step again. They continued to walk slowly down the small hill and it gradually turned into the dirt path. They took a left before they hit the woods so they would be going towards the town. The road started to get more even and that was when they saw the people. Carolyn was scared of it at first but even when they were getting into the crowds Carolyn was not tempted to drink any blood.
Andy took her hand and led her to one of the pubs and they sat down with their drinks. There wasn't very many people there so it felt quite homely. There was paintings on the walls and a pool table in the centre. Carolyn always used to play pool with her dad whenever she had the chance and Andy could tell that she was eyeing up the pool table. He sighed but walked over to it anyway and Carolyn was hot on his trails.
"Who's breaking?" She asked. Andy already knew that she wanted to he pointed at her. She placed all the balls in the triangle and got ready to break. She pulled the cue back then forward and back again but on the return she smacked the white ball and it went barrelling into the triangle of balls. She potted two stripes and the game carried on from there.
When the game ended Carolyn had won but it was a close shave. Andy and Carolyn returned to their seats and finished off the remainders of their drinks. Carolyn had a burning question in the back of her mind so she decided to just spit it out.
"How do vampires sleep?" She asked. Andy knew that questions was going to come up sooner or later.
"Just imagine absolute darkness and you'll get there" Andy explained. It sounded quite gothic to imagine darkness but it made sense all the same. She finished off the last of her drink and waited for Andy. He saw that she was waiting and swigged the rest.
"You don't have to hurry on my account" Carolyn laughed but Andy just shrugged. He stood up and Carolyn followed. As soon as she was in line with him he let his arm drape over her shoulders and they walked back to the secluded area. As soon as the road turned into the dirt path it began to feel like home to her again.
"So how's being a vampire so far?" Andy asked so he could break the silence. Carolyn couldn't really come up with the words to describe what it was like so she just decided to go for it and hope that what comes out can even remotely match up to how she feels.
"It's amazing! Do I have like super strength now?" Carolyn asked. Andy chuckled lightly and then stopped and turned Carolyn to face him.
"Hit me" Andy ordered and it made Carolyn laugh loudly. She shook her head and sighed. Andy looked confused which made Carolyn realise that he was being serious.
"I'm not hitting you" Carolyn shouted as thought Andy was a mad man. Andy rolled his eyes and took Carolyn over to one of the trees.
"Hit that then" Andy said. Carolyn sighed again and closed her eyes. She raised her hand and then swiped the tree with it. When she opened her eyes she could see how she had made a dent in the tree and it made her happy. She grinned at Andy and began to walk back up to the house. When it was in sight she walked a little bit quicker and then she was back into her home. Aurora and Jake were sitting at the kitchen table and were playing with a deck of cards which was something that Carolyn had always associated with the power going out. They were laughing quite a bit and Carolyn couldn't help but notice that every few minutes they were stealing kisses from each other.
"Hi" Carolyn greeted and Aurora met her eyes and smiled warmly. Carolyn was beginning to really like Aurora since she was always cheerful and never seemed to get mad which was something that Carolyn had always wanted to be able to do.
"Why don't you come join us?" Aurora asked and Carolyn nodded quickly and took the seat opposite Jake. Andy joined and sat next to Carolyn.
"What game are you playing?" Andy asked. Aurora blushed lightly as she realised how pathetic that game probably sounded to everyone else.
"We're playing 21" She answered and Carolyn giggled quietly. Aurora gave her a questioning look and Carolyn felt that it was only right to explain.
"I love that game" She explained and Aurora and Jake chuckled softly whereas Andy just pecked her cheek ever so lightly. Aurora dealt the cards and they all took a look. Carolyn had the 10 of hearts and 9 of clubs. She decided to take her chances and took another card from the pack. It was the 2 of spades.
"This isn't fair" She heard Andy mumble.
"21!" She cheered as she slapped her cards down on the table and grinned. The others just laughed and dealt the cards again.
"I'm bust" Andy sighed and Carolyn nodded at him It was now down to the cute couple. They each took two more cards and Jake groaned loudly.
"I'm bust too" He explained Aurora took one more card and cheered. She slapped her cards down on the table like Carolyn had to reveal that she had 21.
"I'm just too good for you" Aurora laughed. Jake turned to look at her and smiled.
"You deserve it" He mumbled before pressing his lips to her own. Carolyn found herself grinning at how cute they were.
They played the game for another ten minutes before they began to get bored. Carolyn looked out the window and could see the sun beginning to come up. She stood up and shut the curtains at the kitchen window that instantly blocked out all sunlight getting into the house.
"We should get to bed" She said and everyone nodded and went upstairs. Andy and Carolyn lay in bed and held onto each other tightly. Carolyn was hoping to get to sleep tonight so she shut her eyes and imagined complete darkness. It seemed to take forever but she finally started feeling a little bit lighter and soon she was beginning to drift off. She could feel Andy's lips on her neck and he was kissing it gently. She could feel the grin forming on her face but then the darkness took over completely and she fell asleep. It was her first sleep ever as a vampire.
Hope you enjoy it and please review. I would like to say again that updates are completely back to normal!
