Hey sorry this one doesn't have a lot of dialogue but it hit the length I was looking for. I racked my brain for a title to this chapter but couldn't think of one. If anyone has an idea please let me know. And please review, I just want to know if anyone is reading my story, Let me know what you think.
Also I mentioned a few things in here that I'm not sure if I need to disclaimer, so um if you recognize something I don't own it ;)
Chapter 3
I spent the majority of the night sitting on the couch flipping through the channels. I only sat out of habit. Nothing good was on so I watched The Rundown and The Longest Yard until my sister showed up at around three-thirty a.m. This was not unusual, she showed up most nights only staying away when she found a really good book.
"Hey bro!" She said as I let her in. The unusual thing about Stacy and I is that we really are brother and sister. She is about five years older than me in the living way and ten years in the undead. In the town we grew up in we had a resident vampire. Stacy and he became very close, some how she figured out what he was. In all the time I've been a Vampire I can't get her to explain it to me completely. The long and short of it is that she hooked him up with five or six women, who went missing by the way, and in return he turned her into a vampire. He stuck around town another seven years and then disappeared. For ten years I thought my sister was dead, like the other missing girls, then three weeks after my birthday she showed up.
We were very close throughout our human life and my sister "couldn't exist with out me" so when she felt she had her hunger under control she turned me. Needless to say I didn't speak to her for seventy seven years; I mean how she could have turned her own brother is a mystery to me. It was bad enough that she traded the lives of all those women to live eternally but why couldn't she want something better for me? Anyway in those seventy seven years she followed me everywhere begging me to forgive her. She definitely didn't deserve it and I wouldn't have but I was lonely. I hadn't met Dex yet and none of the other nomads I met wanted to live off animals. They wouldn't accept my desire to do so either and constantly tempted me with fresh blood. Stacy was the only other vegetarian I knew of, and she was still my sister. She had done some very horrible things in the past but I knew she was trying to make amends. Plus she could respect my food preferences and knew me better than anyone. I had to give in.
Since then we see each other everyday and tell each other everything. Stacy has been on her the search for her soul mate for the last fifty years and we usually talked about the latest candidate. I think the most amusing candidate was definitely Dex. Apparently my sister is hot by Vampire standards and they dated about thirty years ago. The relationship was short lived; it only lasted three or four years. And lucky me I got to hear all about it from both ends. Tonight I was eager to talk and think about anything but my date with Aubrey. Something that the movies and late night shows had not been able distract me from.
"Hey Stacy." I said pulling her into a tight hug. "Finish your book?"
"Yeah, can't wait for the sequel though, she left it on kind of a cliff hanger." Her current favorite author was someone named Carly Phillips, her books were the romantic type where the girl always got her man in the end.
"I'm sure all will work out in the end." I said chuckling and closing the door behind her.
"Yeah probably, but she's such an amazing author! I can't wait to see how she goes about it." She walked into my living room and turned on VH1. They were playing an America's Next Top Model Marathon AGAIN!
"Oh come on Stacy this again? We've watched this season eight times already." I said plopping down on the couch she had neglected covering my face with my hands.
"So I like this one, Danielle is my fav." I hated when she shortened her words. It would not have killed her to say favorite. "So how did your date go, the one Dex set you up on." As if I had any other dates. Stacy and Dex were all I needed, they had been for so long. Leave it to my sister to bring up the one thing I didn't want to talk about. She interpreted my silence wrong. "That bad huh, I'm sure it could have been worse, I mean she wasn't human right." She chuckled at her joke but I just stared at her. "OMG!" She screeched and I rolled my eyes. "She was human, oh wow. Dex is so crazy." She sat next to me and stared at me the way she always did when she was determined to get a suitable answer out of me. "What was she like?" She asked all joking aside.
"Well, the girl Dex was with was a piece of work, he took her home stumbling." It was Stacy's turn to roll her eyes.
"That pig, I bet you he takes advantage of the poor human." Like she was one to talk after everything she had done. But her opinion of Dex had changed drastically since they broke up and she was always finding his faults. "What about yours?" She said pressing the subject.
"Aubrey," I said thinking of what to say as Stacy leaned in closer. "She's alright, I mean for a human she is not bad." I said shrugging and trying to sound nonchalant.
"Oo you liked her." She smiled widely; I knew the picking was on its way. "Will you see her again?"
I thought about that one for a moment. Originally I had decided not to, but I had a lot of time to think and it did not seem like a bad idea.
"Yes," I said quietly. "I think I will." Stacy jumped up faster than she had in a while and squealed with glee.
"This is HIL-AIR-E-OUS!" She said still laughing. "What happened to 'I don't hang out with humans.'" She mocked my voice perfectly and I smiled. "I thought you would turn yourself into the Volterra before you hung out with a human."
"I never said that. Humans are not bad, I just prefer not dealing with them." I set her straight.
"So why will you see this human again? Is she special?" she stared at me a different type of smile on her face. If there was anything as important to Stacy as finding her soul mate it was finding my soul mate.
"Oh dear brother are you going all EC on me? How romantic, it doesn't even matter that it already happened." She smiled teasing again.
"It's not like that at all, she is just a human I had a bearable time with. She is not so bad at pool and she said she might want to play again. And why must you say EC, his name is Edward." I really have a thing with using a persons name properly, it's only polite.
"Uhg, whatever Christopher, don't change the subject, I think you like her." Her voice was very matter of fact and I knew if I tried to argue I would get no where.
"If you say so sis," this was the only abbreviation I felt comfortable using, and I only used it to let her know I was done with the topic at hand.
"ok, ok." She said conceding, "I'll let it go for now." Then we talked the rest of the morning away discussing her newest love affair, a vampire named Christian. Stacy thought it would be cool to date a Vampire whose nickname would be the same as mine, if I ever let her use it. I thought it was a bit weird, but hey what can I do.
It was ten o'clock when Dex let himself into house.
"Hey!" He said talking to me with his back to Stacy, their feelings for each other were mutual. "I see Aubrey got you home in one piece." A sly smile on his lips as he picked up the remote and turned on ESPN.
"As if I would get in a car with her." I said pretending to sound angry. "I can not believe that you put me in that position. What were you thinking?"
"That she was cute, and that you have not been laid in," He took a second to count in his head. "One hundred and sixteen years." He seemed truly upset at my reaction. "You didn't think she was hot?"
"I think," I stood up and walked toward him. "She had a pulse." I heard Stacy laugh, I had almost forgotten she was there; she had been silent since she had caught whiff of Dexs' scent.
"Really Dex," She came over to us. "You think my brother would fornicate with a human. He's not you, he has standards."
"Yeah well if my standards are so bad then why did you fall for me." He said turning to her. Ok maybe I got it wrong. They ignored each other mutually but Stacy was the only over the relationship.
"I never fell for anything, you were just my play thing." Oh here we go again. On the off chance they spoke to each other a long heated fight was always the outcome. I slipped out unnoticed and strolled along the stream by my house. It was a very cloudy day, I could not even see the sun. I was deciding whether or not to go for a hunt when my phone rang.
