Chapter 4

Nick knocked lightly on her door and heard the music get turned up he knew the band it was Black Sabbath, he loved what everyone called "but rock" or "hair metal" that was real music. He knocked again on the door he herd a muffled. "Go away." and not another word but for the laud music beating through the wall.

Nick stood there and waited, after a few minutes he knocked again and this time she opened it looking mad. He looked at what she was wearing and it was a way too big shirt and short shorts; he blushed and looked down at the ground. "Do you want to know what happened tonight?" He said in a hushed voice just in case his mother might be around the corner listening to this.

She nodded and opened the door saying."Make it fast my headache is coming back." As she said it she was walking over to the computer chair there was no computer in the room yet, just the chair and a desk.

"Well, how do I say it with out you flipping out on me?" He asked, himself more then asking her. "Well, I am kind of a-a, um, well—"

"You know spit it out, Jerk."

"Vampire,"He said.

"Don't lie to me," Was all she said and opened the door for him to leave. He sat there and looked at her for a moment longer.

"I am not lying, Lara, and keep quit so my Mom will not hear you."He said in a clipped and stern voice trying to scare her in to listening to him, he stood up and walk over to the stereo and turning it down a bit to talk and try to "brighten" her mood. "Okay, so Blaise, the girl in that store she is a witch and I am a vampire."

"You need to leave, you liar. OUT NOW." She yelled the last part pointing to the doorway, as if he were a dog that had peed in the house and was getting punished for it. He sat there for a minute more and then stood up and left. She turned down the music and got in to bed. She knew he had told her the truth, she was only afraid of what she did not understand.

Her head was pounding she stood up and walked over to the door. Pulling the door open she tiptoed down to the kitchen, walked over to the fridge and looked around. In the end she was sitting on the couch eating a bowel of captain crunch, and watching The Vampire Diaries on TV. She got mad at all the talk and turned the channel to Star Gate SG1 on Sifi.

"Please, Lara, will you let me explain?" Came a voice from behind the couch, and he walked around and plopped down beside her. She stood up and walked onto the kitchen up put her bowel in the dishwasher.

He walked in after her at a fast seed but not too fast she could still see him. "What is there to talk about?" Lara stage whispered to him.

"Umm, well everything," he said looking her in the eyes, he thought of trying something. Seeing that she was kind of calm, he reached his hand up and brushed the side of her face with his hand. He felt the sparks go up and down his arm, she jumped back looking at him, with shock in her eyes.

"Can this whole thing just wait till tomorrow?" Lara asked peeking up at his face. "My head is killing me and I think I just want to go to bed now."

"Okay, I understand," he said and stepped back from her. Without really thinking she stood on her tiptoes and pecked him on the cheek, he looked shocked this time.

She walked out of the room with a newly found confidence and assurance. When she got to her room she plunked herself on the bed and curled into a ball and was asleep in a few minutes.

Nick stood there for a minute longer then went back to the living room. The TV was still on and it was on one of his favorite shows in the world, he knew all the episode, backwards and forwards. He could not believe that she had just done that to him, she had pecked him. Nick knew that that was not much but that little tiny thing had sent his body into overdrive.

He could hear that she had shut off her music and was lying on her bed tossing and turning. He was not able to get into the SG1 show and shut it off and walked up stairs to go to bet as well. He walked be her door she was still tossing and turning in bed, but not asleep.

On the other side of the door Lara was lying on the bed. She missed home and her friends, she now knew no one had no friends. All she really had was Nick and he did not really like her, she did not blame him in the least she had come into his house and invaded his personal space. She was finally starting to doz off.

I looked down at myself, I was no older then five of six. My mommy, but she was not my mom my mom looked different then this woman, walked over to me and picked me up to walk over to my bed, holding me to tightly it was starting to hurt, but I knew better then telling her when she was hurting me. She would always get mad if I made a statement like that and things would happen "Mommy," I said in a serious tone, "I am not tired." I said, shaking my head so the pig tales my hair was in hit me lightly on the face.

"I know, Lara, but I need to tell you something and you are not going to like it." she said to me all I could do was nod for mommy to go on, not knowing the only things she would say would hurt me and haunt me for the rest of my life.

"I can not keep you any longer, for you remind me of your father." she said this in a heartless voice I did not understand what she was saying. She never used a rude tone toward me, just as she never would to Thea's grandmother, she always spoke nicely.

"Mommy, what are you talking about?" I said looking at her, not understanding what she meant.

"I am not going to keep you, you are going away." as she was talking to me her tone was getting colder and colder, I started crying. She stood up and walked over to the door and slammed it closed, as I ran to it pounding on it, screaming after her to come back.

Nick kept a ear open to hear and make sure that Lara was going to be okay. He could not sleep every time he was about to fall to sleep, he would hear her turn in bed again. After a while he knew that there was going to be very little sleep tonight for him.

Then he was hearing sobbing coming from her room. He got up silently and walked to the door, he got the key to his bedroom off the computer desk. He was thinking ahead, he could lock his door so if his mother camp to the door, she would think that he was only tired of the human in the house rather then with her. So he locked the door and walked down the hall to her room.

Lara did not know that she was sharing a house with two vampires and she did not have the bedroom door locked. He pulled open the door and walked into the room, she was on her bed sobbing and not able to stay in one position for very long.

He walked over to her bed after locking the door. Nick lied a hand on her shoulder and shook her lightly but she did not wake up just kept talking and tossing in bed. Nick sat on the bed and pulled her to him rocking her slightly she was talking.

"No, no, Mommy, please," Lara was mumbling, with tears falling down her face. "Please, don't leave me here."

"Shh," Nick started to whisper in her ear, still rocking her. "You are okay, Lara."

She was starting to show signs of waking up slowly. Lara felt the point that she was no longer flat on her back but being held tightly to someone. She flipped and stood up and ran to the other side of the room huddling in the corner.

"I am sorry that I scared you," Nick said, she did not move.

"Wha-what are you doing in my room?" she said in a shaky voice still sitting there on the floor, not looking up. She felt like a scared child, and did not know what to do with that. She could hardly remember her young childhood.

"Come back to the bed so we can talk and you are not on the floor." he said and walked over to the radio to turn it on. He seen her staring at him he was doing almost all of this in the pitched black with no problems at all. "Now come here." he said and walked back to the bed with a calm manner that was trying to calm her down.

She got up as if in a nightmare and walked back over to him on the bed. "What are you doing in my room?" she asked with more force behind each word she said.

"You were having a nightmare, and was tossing in bed," he said keeping away from her so as not to scare her again. "You were crying and telling someone not to leave you. You would not wake up when I tried to wake you. What were you dreaming about?"

"I don't wanna to talk about it." she said with a few more tears running down her face. He was going to wipe them away from her face then thought better of it and put his hands in his lap.

Nick got up and started walking to the door, wanting to let her go back to sleep. He was about to let the door swing open so he could leave, but she spoke up from the darkness. "Please, Nick," that kind of surprised him that she had called him by his name, but he turned around to look at her. "Don't leave me, I am scared."

He turned back to her she looked like a scared child on the bed many years younger. He walked back to her and she scooted over on the so he could be on there too. He kept about six inches away from her, when he did that she scooted over so she was in his arms.

"My mother would kill both of us if she walked in on this." he said kissing her temple lightly, she jumped at the current that ran through her body.

"I believe you about, you being a vampire and all that about Blaise." she said surprising him even more. "I did when you told me I just was afraid to believe you." she said as she was about to fall back to sleep feeling safe and warm with someone that cared about her.

Please read and review, and I will try to get more on here soon.
