"What if you say what?" Brandy was trying not to yell, but Jasper was pushing her over and she could not help herself.
"What are you two talking about?" Blay intervened.
"Why do you care, this has nothing to do with you!" Brandy snapped back, she was becoming so angry. She looked back at Jasper after Blay put his head back down in defeat, again.
"I said no." Jasper said simply but with a playful voice like he knew how much he was angering Brandy.
"Why, it's a win, win situation. What wrong with it?" Brandy was still trying to control her anger.
"And who wins in this situation?" Jasper asked keeping that hint of playfulness in his voice. Brandy knew if he was going to keep it up, she was not going to be held responsible for what she was going to do next.
Meanwhile…
"We need them awake now!" Noah yelled "They are our only hope for making anything happen!" he continued.
"I am trying the best I can, sir, but none of my spells are working. I think we are going to have to feed them blood." A nurse/Witch said quietly like was being serious and pleading for herself not be in trouble.
"They cannot be feed blood! If we feed them blood now-," he started loudly but then became almost as quiet as the nurse. "Let's just say we can't."
Noah just came back from where his kids were taken, the first time. He did not want to only take two but his daughter, Brandy, stopped him from taking Nathan. She was too far into the Vampire world.
"At least we have the twins, they were always my favorite." Gwen, Noah's ex-wife and Brandy's mom, said coming into the hospital looking room. Then the nurse ran out.
Noah took a big unneeded breath, he remembered the last time he saw Gwen. It was her that was making him do this. It was not her immortal beauty from being one of the most powerful Witches that he remembered but the fact that she betrayed him even more by bring him here.
"Awww, now why does someone look so sad?" she said but looked over at the beds. She must have see that Noah was only able to take back two because she stiffened and looked at Noah with a death glair. "Why are their only the twins there? She asked with no noticeable emotion in her voice.
It was not like Noah was afraid of his ex-wife but he was on Witch territory now and he was out numbered and had no other option but to do what they told him. If was not going to do that they said, they would torcher him like their doing to the other captured Vampires.
"It's Brandy, she is what stopped me. I was able to bring them back because they were not awake. She and her brother were." Noah was not liking where he was at that moment and there was really no reason to be wasting his time with his unshakeable boys. "By the way I think we underestimated how much power our little children actually have." He said in his ex-wife's face and walked out the door.
Noah left Gwen alone in the room with her sons. She also wanted them to awake. She was a Witch and would do anything to win the war; even betray he ex-husband. She knew all too well how much power her children had, never the less she was going to do whatever it took to come out on top.
Back to Brandy and them…
"Um… they do and you do! How do you not fully understanding what I am offering?" Brandy wanted to scream but if there was one thing she learned from her dad, that was never going to go away, was to not show your emotion, unless needed. Right now it was not needed.
"Oh I know what you offering but maybe I just don't want that." Jasper said still not showing any signs of breaking. Jasper, inside, wanted to say yes, to Brands offer so bad, he wanted to sleep with her; or at least next to her. He wanted her to be in his arms so he knew that nothing was going to hurt her. He was not going to show that though.
It was killing him not saying it but the other half of him was overpowering the good and loveable side. With his dad and his brothers watching and listing to him he had to be what everyone thought of him. He needed to be tough and stand up for what he wants. He stood up and crossed his arms waiting for Brandy to try, but fail again.
Even if that means passing up the only time Brandy will ever ask to sleep in his room. He also hated himself for how worked up he was making Brandy, it may not look like it but he never liked making other people really mad; especially not Brandy. Teasing her was the only was he could show the mean part of him and slid away from not doing something to terrible.
Brandy was tired of what Jasper was acting like but she was not going to let him win. Yelling at him was apparently not working so she decided to try something new. Instead of doing what she wanted to do, which was yell at him, she stood as straight and as tall as she could make herself, which was only a few inches shorter than Jasper, and leaded over to his ear and said what everyone was not expecting.
"Fine but you would have had fun." She said forcing he voice to be soft and tempting. Then she turned and went to walk away, but never made it out before stopping to let jasper have one more chance.
That was what almost pushed him over his line. He never had a doubted in him mind that sleeping in the same bed with Brandy would be fun but it was not enough, he knew that if he broke now he would be turning away from the wall that he built himself. He wanted to tough, he wanted to so bad, maintaining this composer may have been the worst thing he has ever come by, and he has three Vampire brothers.
"By the way no one is sleeping in the attic anymore, it's free." Brandy said with a smug smile on her face. Still leaving time for Jasper to change him mind.
"Really where are you and Nathan going to sleep than?" Levi asked
"Well Nathan… you don't have to worry about and me?" Brandy look at Jasper with puppy dog eyes and innocence's. "I guess I'll just have to find a corner or the couch looked conformable, maybe I'll just find a broom closet." She huffed out a big unneeded breath. This was Brandy's last option, to guilt him into it.
Jasper was dying inside, he felt so guilty. What was actually stopping him from letting Brandy sleep in his room?
"Well whatever I just want to sleep." Levi said and ran for the stairs with Blay slowly fowling. Brandy was still looking at Jasper like she was a little girl with nowhere to go. It was breaking Jasper and he wanted to give it but… what was really stopping him, it was his dad. He was still in the room watching them. He had to do something though; he knew that Brandy was just going to keep trying if he didn't.
So he ignored her that was his last option, it was all he could do before he could not help his self. He turned to his dad and started talking to him. "So where are you staying now that apparently this house turned into a hotel?"
"Well as far as I know my house has not burned down so I will be on my way so you can deal with…her." Luke gestured to Brandy.
Brandy wanted to say something she wanted to yell at both of them. Jasper was being mean, like over the top mean and now his dad does not ever care about her. She was having an emotional battle with herself. Did she want to break in front of them, no, but did she want to break down and just throw a temper tantrum, yes.
Luke looked at his son then at Brandy, his eyes were filled with years of worry. But why, Brandy thought. What has he gown through that made those eyes look so old and worried? Was there something he knew that was not telling us?
Either way Brandy never had the chance to keep searching to find out because he was already out the door. Then she looked at Jasper, now that everyone was not here anymore he was going to be nice, right? Well that certainly does not mean she is just going to give in to him anymore.
"So… what was it you wanted?" Jasper asked not looked at Brandy directly. He knew that she was angry; he knew not to push her now because of what he had done.
It's not like Jasper wanted to do all those things, he could not help himself. "Oh so now you care?" Brandy snapped back. If they did not change something now another argument was going to break out and neither of them wanted that.
He was kissing him now and he never wanted him to stop. Nathan was done with drinking Eli's blood, for now, all he wanted was him. All Eli wanted was Nathan. Before they started kissing though they sorted somethings.
Eli told Nathan why he had to 'kiss' him when he first woke and why he was in his room now. Nathan, supersizing, understood Eli's logic, it was to save his life. Nathan also understood what Eli was going through.
Is like every time they kissed Nathan knew more and more about Eli. He would have little flashes of Eli's past pop into his head, he could taste everything Eli was feeling. Nathan has never kiss anyone else before but something in his said that the transformation he went through gave him more power than he thought.
Eventually Nathan was going to have to tell someone about what was going on but the only person she felt telling anything right now was Brandy. She was having trouble of her own. He could hear her and Jasper fight about something, but really never caught what it was.
Eli soon realized Nathan was not really thinking about what they were doing right now, so he pulled back and started to kiss Nathans neck while asking. "So whatcha thinking 'bout?" he said lazily.
Nathan wanted to tell Eli about the flashes of his past that he kept seeing but something in him told him to wait and talk to Brandy about it first so he had to come up with something and fast.
"Umm…, just you know, should we tell the others about…this?" Eli knew what he meant when he said this but that never bothered him. He knew that was going to come up soon or later. But should they keep a secret for now? Eli taught. Maybe that for the best until they know what going on.
"Sure just for now, though. Anyway you need to sleep somewhere, now that the attic has been taken over." Eli muffled against Nathan neck, he just tasted so good, Eli thought, he could feel the pulse of Nathan heart because he never made it stop and Eli never wanted it to stop.
Nathan took a deep unneeded breath he was going to be spent the night in this room. Well it was better than that other room and the attic, plus Eli was in here. So it could not be all bad right? He knew that it was not going to go any feather than kissing so what should he be worried about?
Where his, soon to be, 18 year old, sister, Brandy is going to sleep, that was what Nathan was worried about.
"I don't understand why you can't just be nicer sometimes?" Yeah, nothing changed much so now Brandy and Jasper were fighting again.
"It's just not me." Jasper said reaching out to Brandy hoping she would at least try to understand.
"I hope you knew it's not me just to around asking people if I can sleep with them!" Brandy said but the lowered her voice "You're honestly the only person that, that idea has ever crossed my mind for." It was a whisper but she intended for Jasper to hear it.
It was true Brandy has not has many boyfriends, and anytime she would she was always to busy with fixing cars and dealing with her dad. None of them ever lasted long enough to reach the point of wanting to sleep with them.
Jasper, in fact, did hear it. It was killing his seeing Brandy like this, he never wanted to hurt her but he could not push away , the fact that, he has never really felt this way about another girl before.
It was new to both of them; they were never the type of people to show much emotion, really no emotion at all, if they could help it. But could they move past that and except each other? Each of them knew that they wanted to but changing is easier said than done and neither of them knew if they could really do that.
Both Brandy and Jasper were growing tired of the pointless argument so they just stood there and stared at each other. There was a little awkward salience, until Jasper something that would change him, something that he has never said to anyone until now.
"Brandy, " He had to make sure she was paying attention, Brandy slightly nodded her head Jasper took a deep unneeded breath, locked gazes with her and slowly said "I am sorry, I never meant to hurt you." Then hugged her, this was going to change them; for better or for worse.
So yeah, the next one is up! the good thing is that I have school one more day before a 5 day weekend so I should have more time to type.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, I MUST KNOW. This chapter was a little heart to write, I don't know why but nothing was coming to me. Hopefully now that it is up the next few will be easier.
Thanks for reading! ;) BUT NOW!
