Hey guys, sorry for not updating for a while.
The truth is I am super stressed over what is going to happen on December 21 (end of the Mayan calendar).
Plus…I think slender man is haunting me.
Anyway, here's the next chapter.
Enjoy!
Chapter 9: Coming out, well kind of
Time basically stood still for me after I spoke and several minutes went by before anyone made any movement whatsoever.
Clank's hand that was once touching Ratchet was quickly swept away and the off guard lovers both turned towards me awkwardly.
I nearly burst out laughing at their embarrassed expressions but interrupted it with a low cough.
"So it seems I have some competition. I always knew you guy's had some sort of romantic connection"
I said with a giggle.
Clank slid off of Ratchet's chest and the two shifted into a sitting position.
"Uh, does this mean you're not mad?"
Ratchet had on a slightly scared expression (probably thinking I was gonna bite him…again).
"Of course not, I support your guy's relationship 100 percent"
A wave of relief washed over Ratchet and he flashed me a shy smile.
"Makayla, how did you know me and Ratchet had feelings for each other?"
Clank asked, his neon eyes holding a faint glimmer of curiosity, completely unaware that his question held an obvious answer (I mean come on, I saw them make out for Christ's sake).
I signed at the question -I'd been doing that a lot lately- and peered down.
"Did I say something wrong?"
I smiled faintly a Clank's stupid question and after a few seconds looked up, my gaze switching from the floor to the couch.
"No Clank you didn't say anything wrong. It's just that it's been a long day and I'm kind of sick of answering questions"
Clank appeared rather disappointed.
"Oh, sorry"
Movement from Ratchet caught my attention; he had begun to fijit uncomfortably.
"Ratchet, are you ok?"
My voice held a hint of worry.
Ratchet stopped fijiting and gave me a worried look.
"I don't know, I feel weird"
All of a sudden it felt like I was hit by a hurricane as my brain recalled the previous events.
"Shit I completely forgot!"
Ratchet and Clank exchanged glances.
"Forgot what?"
I thought I was gonna bust a nut at Ratchet's words.
"Are you shitting me? Don't you remember all that excruciating pain earlier?!"
Ratchet tapped his chin, trying to remember what happened before that little incident with Clank.
"Oh yeah I remember, what was that all about anyway?"
I put a hand on my hip and flipped my hair over my shoulder.
"Well let's think for a second. The pain started not long after I bit you, right?"
Ratchet gave a small shudder at the memory.
"Right"
He answered.
"So those two events must be linked somehow"
Clank raised his hand and I took the opportunity to bust out one of my favorite video game one liners.
"Yes, you there in the front"
This received a burst of laughter from Ratchet and an irritated glare directed at me from Clank.
"Oops sorry, what is it?"
"Makayla, earlier you told me that your vampire venom was having an effect on Ratchet and turning him into something, what was it exactly?"
I immediately face palmed.
That's right I did tell Clank that, just before him and Ratchet…..kissed.
Damn blonde moments.
"Ratchet, I know why you're feeling weird"
Ratchet's ears perked up and he seemed to beam at me.
"Yeah, what is it?"
A single tear slid down my cheek and I resisted the urge to run out of the room like a total drama queen.
Now I know how it feels when you break bad news to someone, especially if that bad news involves telling someone their no longer mortal.
I took a deep breath.
"Ratchet, I hate to tell you this but….you're a vampire"
I know this chapter was short but I promise I will try to write a long one.
Oh and please review, I need more reviews! Will update soon!
