Chapter Eleven

Hunter POV

I was woken up by screaming. A lot of screaming. I flew out of bed and ran down the corridor and down the stairs, to where the screaming had originated. I ran into the dining room to find all of the Drake brothers backed into a corner and all screaming. I looked to my left to see what was scaring them. Flame and Snow, our pet white tigers. Yeah, we have pet tigers. A little ironic to have them a mind reader, mind controller, physic and girl with telekinesis in the same house. But it kept unwanted visitors out. Hel-blar. I focused on what was happening. All the Drake brothers were cornered, while Fame and Snow caved in on them growling.

"Arrêt." I said in the best French accent I could manage. Snow and Flame came and stood next to me still growling at the Drake brothers.

"What the hell? Why do you have lions?" Logan asked still trying to calm down.

"They're tigers for a start." I replied. Lucy and Isabeau walked in and noticed the tigers.

"You have tigers?" Lucy squeaked as she went and petted Snow. All the Drake brothers blushed if that were possible for a vampire. It was funny how they all couldn't handle a couple tigers but Lucy could. Isabeau seemed to have become attached to Flame in the last five seconds of being in the room.

"Why the hell do you have tigers?" Marcus asked as he came out of the corner.

"To keep visitors away." I said.

"Come on little kitty." Lucy said as Snow followed her out the room. Isabeau had already gotten Flame up the stairs. Once all the Drake brothers had calmed down they all looked at my legs. I was suddenly very aware that I was wearing a short dark red skin tight night gown. I was gone before they could take a second look at how short it was. Hunter you Douche! It kind of reminded me of the day I had no pants on at the Drake's but that was sixteen years ago. I got changed into long red and black lace dress. It went well with my long black curled hair and smoky make-up. Hey! Just because the Drake's don't go prancing around looking like real vampires doesn't mean I can't. Even though I'm a werewolf. Yep. I'm confusing myself now. I had stakes hidden every where. Just in case. I walked down the hall way. I liked the way you could hear my black high heel coming. It gave off dramatic affect and scared the crap out of the maids but I wasn't going to ruin the fun, so I put on a cold expression. I had changed a lot in the last decade, such as liking black and red, I stopped wearing cargo pants and started wearing long dresses. I went down the staircase and did a U-turn at the end of the staircase to walk into the big family room. It was lit by a large chandelier in the center of the room, dangling from the ceiling. I liked how it gave off that scary horror movie feeling. Again scares the maid. It had the whole eighteenth century furniture like most of the house, it was also black and red like most of the house. I had learnt to love black and red. No idea why. I sat on the chair to the left of the fireplace and waited. Flame and Snow came to join me after a while, they both lay next to the fireplace. I still had my cold expression on. Scarlett came a few minutes later wearing a long black open thigh dress with more than a few stakes in it. It had diamonds around the waist, which matched the twinkle in her eye. Her hair was let out and pulled over her shoulder. She didn't wear make up because she had natural blood red lips and smoky eyes. Scarlett liked looking like scary and hot too. She lounged on the couch next to mine. Blake and Ryder came in, both wearing black tuxedos with cutaway coats. Blake came and stood next to me, holding the back of my customised Valbonne sofa chair, while Ryder went and sat on the couch next to Scarlett's. Jessie came in after a while. He was tall, muscular, wearing a cutaway coats like Blake and Ryder and was looking at Scarlett? I thought they couldn't stand each other? Scarlett looked back at him and his view shifted to the chair next to Ryder's. Have I missed something? I looked back over at the fire. Alexis followed Jessie in after a few moments of silence. Ryder's glance was straight to Alexis. I looked away from the fire to see she had washed her highlights out, so her dark hair stood out more. She was wearing a long black corset dress and had black jewelery on. She sat down in her usual spot, next to Ryder. We sat in silence. For a while anyway. It became a tradition to come down here every evening after my grand father dies a few years ago. Lucy and Nicholas came down the stairs arguing about something about "what's hot and what's not". I realised all the Drake's were following them. They paused when they saw us sitting in silence.

"That's hot." Lucy said. Nicholas growled. Quinn was looking at me but then and again most of his brothers were. A maid approached Helena.

"Madame Drake, breakfast is ready." She did a curtsy.

"Come along children." Helena said, trying to get her children away from ruining it. Helena and Hyacinth knew what was going on. The others, nothing. It took them ages to leave and the whole time I stared at the fire. Quinn was last to go and the maid nodded to me and closed the doors.

"Mother how long will they be here?" Scarlett asked.

"Until we go see lady Veronique, maybe longer." I said not looking away from the fire.

"Why do they need to come? They are no relation to us?" Scarlett asked. Crap! I forgot to tell her. Blake and Ryder sighed. Scarlett, Jessie and Alexis looked confused. Blake had figured it out himself and Ryder had just read my mind. I got up off my chair and left before Blake or Ryder could explain. I got to my room fast. I didn't feel like facing the Drake's. I changed into a red training tank top, red sneakers and black shorts. I had a feeling I was going to regret the shorts. I tied my hair up quickly and walked down the corridor. Blake and Ryder came out of their rooms with sneakers, track pants and t-shirts on and followed me. Jessie followed us from out of his room, wearing the same. Scarlett came out a dazed, wearing closely the same as me except hers was more white and black. By the expression on her face I could tell Blake told her. She was in shock.

"Where's Alexis?" I asked as we went down the stairs.

"She'll meet us down there." Ryder said as we walked into the kitchen. The Drake's were all sitting around the table a little more civilized than last couple times they were all down here. There was still yelling and screaming but less attacking the table but there was still snatching and things. Everyone froze when they realised we were here.

"See, they look hot without even trying." Lucy commented.

"True." Solange agreed. You could hear Keiren and Nicholas growling.

"Ready?" I asked, ignoring Lucy and Solange's comment.

"For what?" Lucy asked. All the Drake's were silent.

"Training." I said with a slight smirk.

"What?" All the younger Drake's.

This is going to be fun.
