Chapter 11 – Vision
I spent the day with Gianna. Helping her with her paperwork, finding out who was out on duty and who was available. I knew that the vampires were planning to feed today, so I needed to be out of the way in case an accident occurred. I was extremely bored.
Just a few more weeks, I told myself. Then I would be there with them, part of their invincible team. I tapped my fingers against the desk as I filed, flicking distractedly through the folders. Gianna was actually doing some serious work, she was tapping away quickly on a computer keyboard. She looked over and saw my morose expression.
"Look, Natalie. Demetri can most definitely look after himself, besides with Jane and Felix there nothing is going to go wrong. Stop being such a baby and actually do some work." She glared at me angrily. It took all my willpower not to punch her in her smug face. I really hoped someone ate her – the sooner the better. No wonder all the vampires, bar Felix of course, hated her. She was worse than Jane, and she tortured people for fun.
The soft ding of the elevator made me look up in hope. But the person running into the reception area was not the one I'd hoped for. My heart sank. The vampire hurtled up the desk a frantic look in her blood red eyes.
"What's wrong?" I asked her in concern. I skipped the politely detached receptionist business; this vampire had a real problem.
" I just did something really bad," She said. She shook her head as if to clear her mind, her short black hair flicked around her head. I noticed it had amazing neon blue streaks running through it. " Do you know Felix?" She asked me, she sounded worried. I grimaced and nodded.
"I think I just blinded him." I blinked in shock and then started to laugh. I had most certainly not been expecting that. The worry seemed to disappear off her beautiful face as she began to laugh aswell. She looked about 17 and I guessed she was a new vampire from the colour of her eyes.
"Good," I said happily, she laughed even harder. "How'd you manage that?"
"He kept on leering at me, I got a little fed up with him staring. I just willed him to stop looking at me and it kind of… worked." She was grinning at me mischievously. " I guess that's my talent. Blinding people, nice," She said sarcastically. I laughed again.
"Maybe you control senses or something, you should experiment. See if you can stop it aswell," I told her. I just really hoped she wouldn't choose me as her guinea pig. She stared around the room and her eyes fell on Gianna. She was totally oblivious to our conversation, polishing her perfectly fake nails. The girl grinned at me again. I giggled.
Next thing I knew Gianna was screaming in shock, hands clamped over her mouth. She started to run around, looking very much like a headless chicken, or what I imagined a headless chicken to look like, anyway. She started crying 'My ears! Oh God, my ears!' and flapping her hands. The girl leaned down to whisper in my ear.
" I think I should stop now, before she gets a little too distressed." I nodded in agreement. Her brows furrowed and Gianna's piercing screaming stopped, for which I was very grateful. She looked very confused until she spotted the girl and me. She fixed us with a death glare and pointed her finger at my companion.
"YOU!" She screeched. We giggled hysterically as Gianna continued to threaten us. Somewhat pointlessly since one of us was a virtually invincible vampire and if anyone so much as lay a finger on me Demetri would probably kill them. The vampire and me slapped each other a high five.
"I'm Natalie by the way," I told her, as we reclined on the sofas, ignoring Gianna's tantrum.
"Diana." She said, laughing at Gianna who resembled a toddler at that moment. I was waiting for her to throw herself on the floor and start crying. But at that moment her little show was cut short by much more impressive anger.
"WHERE IS SHE?!" Felix roared. The sound hurt my ears it was so loud. Demetri came in after him, grinning ear to ear. I laughed again, as did Diana. Demetri's smile widened when he saw Gianna's furious face. I grinned like an angelic child and waved to Gianna.
"Oh, look. There she is Felix!" I can see her right now, can't you?" Demetri was seriously testing Felix's patience. He growled at Demetri. Demetri just laughed at him and carried on. I decided to join in.
"Are you blind or something?" I asked him cheekily. Demetri's loud laughter boomed around the room. Diana spoke up.
"Now you have a human teasing you Felix, how humiliating for you." She was smiling so widely it must have hurt her face. " I never knew you were a vampire of such… vision!"
With the last word she must have given him back his sight as he rubbed his eyes in disbelief. Diana flew down the corridor and through the golden door that led to the residences of the vampires. Demetri held Felix back, as Felix growled and snapped in fury. He eventually calmed down and Demetri let go. Felix walked off muttering something about 'that damn vampire girl'.
Demetri and I walked back to the room hand in hand.
"So what did you do today," he asked. "Other than infuriating Gianna, of course." He grinned at me proudly.
"I made a friend," I answered simply. He laughed and hugged me tighter. I couldn't wait to be part of such an odd family. It was brilliant fun.
Ha. That was so fun to write! Review! Pwetty please? :P
