Chapter two B: Breakfast with vampires
The Mekira case
I had followed Ryu and Argon to the dining hall and was greeted by an assortment of wonderful smells; set at the table was a wide variety of food. I could see and smell pancakes, waffles, strawberries, blueberries, sausage, bacon, eggs, and every exotic food you can imagine. All of it was set in mass amounts on a very long table with twelve chairs set at it.
"Big family?" I asked quietly as my stomach growled once more.
"I guess you could call it that." Ryu sighed, "but we are a bit dysfunctional and very different really, so I don't know if we count as a family."
"Of course you count as a family!" I exclaimed
"Please take a seat." Ryu stated pulling out a chair for me " The rest of the family will be up soon."
"Why am I here?" I blurted blushing directly after.
"I cannot tell you yet, but I promise it will all make since by the time the sun sets." Ryu responded
" Oh, okay." I sighed
We sat in an awkward silence for what felt like ages but must have only been minutes before the rest of the family walked in. There were eleven of them, ten men and a girl, who looked familar but not overly.
"Mekira?!" the Girl exclaimed running toward me.
"L-Lina?!" I exclaimed almost hesitantly.
"Yep! Why are you here do you know?" She asked emphasizing the You
"No, do you know why you are here?" I asked enviously.
"Yes, I do!" She exclaimed victoriously.
"Why are you here?" I questioned
"Lina, she can't know yet." A taller man stated
"Well, I say she can Ryan, she'll notice the ears and tail eventually." Lina Stated
At that moment my eyes flickered to her head, she had two small off white ears and I could tell that she was wagging her fluffy white tail behind her from the slight draft she was creating.
"Really, werewolf." I sighed almost in jealousy
"OMG YOUR STILL AMAZINGLY SMART!" She exclaimed glomping me.
"Uh, duh." I sighed mildly less enthusiastic about her embrace
"Why aren't you thrilled?" She asked with a pout
"Well, first off I'm human and your an inu, werewolf thing and I assume your going to stay with your own kind." I said as my voice cracked " Also, when we first met and I told you I wanted to make a change you promised you would help me to acheive my dreams, now I know you won't."
"M-Mekira, is that really what you think? You think I would leave you behind just because I-I'm different? Well your wrong! I thought you'd be happy because I can do more for you!" Lina yelled tears in her eyes.
"I-I'm sorry Lina, I just thought, I'm sorry." I cryed
Both Lina and I fell into each others arms comforting each other silently. Even so I could feel the anger and hatred in the air as the werewolves bored holes in me with their glares.
"Lina, I don't think your pack like me very much." I whisper
She pulled away breaking free of my loose grasp. "You have no idea Mekira."
I watch almost sadly as my friend walks away and rejoins her pack. As she reaches her destination the tall man from earlier, Ryan his name was, puts a possesive hand on her shoulder.
"Well it seems everyone is here, why don't we all sit to eat?" A voice calls from the door way.
It's Daemeon and he seems to have just gotten there. He is dressed much more for the occasion and seems to have dropped his goofy aditude. I cannot help but stare, he looks much better in a three peice suit and tie than he did in the loose clothes he was dressed in earlier.
"Why should we sit down, how do we know the food isn't poisoned?" Ryan growls
"Why would I poison you and my young guests my dearest brother?" Daemeon asks shooting a glance in my direction.
"joking!" Ryan replies with a smile laced with false joy.
"We are all here." a deep voice calls from behind Daemeon.
Who I see causes my heart to race, a young man stands behind Daemeon, his shaggy blond hair covering his stunning golden eyes. He is wearing a pin stripped suit and nice dress shoes not at all matching his hair style. He smiles lightly at me, showing off sharp canine teeth just as with Argon who stands beside him.
"Oh, Xerxes, glad you could make it." Ryu grins sitting at the table. "Well, are we going to let the food get cold or are we going to eat and talk like a family?"
He seemes to stress the word family as if it is a curse. The rest sit, Daemeon and Lina taking the ends. A werewolf with chocolate brown eyes and dusty blonde hair sits down to Lina's right whispering something to her that makes her blush.
"You may all eat." She says quieter than I have ever heard her.
The werewolves all turn to Daemeon who seems to stiffen at their glances.
"You may all eat." He mumbles.
Before me a frenzy unravels as the men grab chunks of meat with their forks and other foods, shoving them on to their plates. I notice Ryu just sits there waiting for it to calm down, his look saing that he is clearly unamused at the men's behavior.
"Is it normally like this?" I ask quietly
"No, we do not usually eat all together." He replies shortly.
"They why are you all eating together today?" I ask slightly louder
" We have reason to rejoyce. You and Lina are here." He answers with a grin finally looking at me with those stunning eyes.
"Oh." I smile.
Finally things quiet down and Ryu and I reach forward with our forks to grab our share, Ryu going for the meat and I going for the fruit. The pack chat among themselves, laughing and fooling around, Lina even joining in on the fun. The others seem awkward though, keeping to themselves and eating quietly.
Finally everyone finishes and the pack excuses themselves.
"I trust you got your share?" Ryu asks standing
"Yes, thank you for breakfast." I respond also standing.
"It was the least I could do for one as beautiful as you." He grins "You may go back to the room if you please, I will be up in just a few moments."
"Okay, thank you." I sigh walking away.
"But why would you be up their with me?" I ask myself as soon as I am out of ear shot. I wander up to the room slowly taking in the beauty of the halls. The floors are stone and old fasion but the walls are a stunning red with pictures hanging everywhere from them. It seemed like an old fasion castle almost, or like a movie set. I reach the room and hesitantly open the door. I almost jump out of my skin when I find that Ryu is already sitting on the bed, his head resting in his hands.
"You certantly took your time." He sighs
"How did you get up here so quickly?!" I exclaim angrily.
"I live here, I know every hallway in the place." he smiles
"Why are you up here, I can take care of myself." I sigh
"Well I do have every right to be here, it is my room after all." Ryu chuckles
I glance around nervously, I hadn't thought about the fact that this my very well be his room. "Oh, I didn't realize that this was your room."
"Well I never told you. I didn't want you to feel awkward here." Ryu states monotonely standing and slinking towards me. His eyes seem hungry, like he could devour me.
"W-What are you doing?" I ask my voice just above a whisper. I growl at my hesitance, not me so afraid of him, he can not do anything to me.
"Oh, nothing." He sighs wrapping his lengthy fingers around my chin and pulling me to him. "Just claiming you as my own."
He smiles and pulls me into a kiss, his soft lips caressing mine. I can not help myself as I gently kiss back.
Almost sadly he pulls back, he has sort of lustfull look in his eyes. "You are mine." He states softly "Don't ever forget that."
"I won't." I state blushing.
"RYU TAMAHARU GET DOWN HERE!" A rough voice calls from down the hall.
"It seems I am needed. I will be back." He states monotone brushing past me and exiting.
"What on earth just happened?" I ask the empty room suddenly longing for Ryu to be there, his lips against mine just as they were before.
