.:Roxas POV:.
He headed out of his room and I followed him to the kitchen. His place was huge and if you ask me, it looked like the guy was loaded. The kitchen itself looked like the ones on TV that belong to chefs, the living room had every technological system known till this day, the furniture looked extremely pricy and the decorations were amazing. It looked 18-19 century mixed with the technology of today.
I went back to his room and it was the same, the bed looked fit for a prince hell a king would be more like it, I can't believe that escaped my sight before, then again who's looking at the scenery when you almost got raped and find out your savior is a vampire.
I left his room once more and went to the kitchen and sat down on the counter table chair.
Axel was currently looking for something in the lower part of the fridge, he pulled out a box of what looked to be pasta and looked for a pot. Filled it with water placed it on the stove.
"So you like pasta?" he asked me and turn around with the box on his hand.
"Yeah, sure." I smiled at him a bit timidly and returned to observing my surroundings.
When suddenly, I flushed at the realization of something. Axel was gorgeous. Well yeah, I saw that at the club when I was staring at him, but I was so far away I couldn't actually appreciate it and in the restrooms either.
From his eyes to his figure, he was beautiful. His hair was so intriguing and those eyes, dammit those I could get lost in them, and his figure now I could see it even better.
Yes he was thin but at the same time I could see the muscles that covered that lackey figure.
I wonder if that his natural hair color. Nah, there is no way that intense red is real.
"Actually it is real and thank you for all the interesting compliments." He replied turning around again and smirking.
Oh my god!!! He heard every single thing I thought about him. I feel so embarrassed why don't I turn into an ostrich so I can hide my face in the ground.
He chuckled and covered his mouth a bit. I growled internally maybe this will get him to understand. If you read my thoughts once more I will castrate you one way or another.
"Ok fine, I won't do it again, but I couldn't help it you were practically screaming them."
He told me calmly and return to the pasta.
"Um it's ok, sorry It's just that it true you know." I accepted without blushing this time.
"Yeah not to brag, but I get it a lot." He took a sit beside me.
"So, your hair is actually that shade of red naturally?" I still couldn't believe it, it was to red for it to be natural.
"Yep 100% natural, got it from my dad, my older brother has it too." He passed his hand combing his locks.
"Your dad? Brother? Weren't you bitten and transformed into the undead?"
"Actually, no. I was born a vampire so was my brother, my dad, my grandfather and so on." He said and got up to check on the pasta and took a bottle of vodka that was nearby. Pouring some of it in a glass.
"Wait a sec this is too confusing. You can eat normal food, you can walk in day light, you weren't turn into a vampire, but born one instead. Ok, I'm gonna say some words and your gonna tell me the effect cause I'm not getting any of this." I scratched my head and started thinking of some things.
"Crosses?" I asked him expecting a snarl and receiving a snicker.
He unbotten his shirt a bit, reveling a chain with a cross on it, it was white gold.
"Wear it every day, and I'm still here aren't I?"
"Umm garlic?" That had to be true, right?
He walked to his fridge again and took a vase with powdered garlic in it, poured some on his hand and licked it. He moaned at the taste and looked up at me.
"That should be good with some toasted bread right?" he smiled like a cat, and sat down again.
"Coffins?" I asked unsure of what to expect next.
"Roxas do you see a coffin anywhere? And you slept on my bed so I think that answers that." he raised his eyebrow smirking.
"Then everything I know about vampires is a freaking lie?" This has got to be a joke. Nothing's true?
"Yep pretty much, except the light thing. We don't burn or die, but we do hate it that's why my house is so dark." He motioned to his house to the living room, to the his room the only thing that had a bit more light then the rest was the kitchen and for what it was only.
"But I … wait a sec. What do you do for …blood?" I asked nervous this time, cause I do remember him saying that he does feed of it.
"Jajaja, we have blood banks for that, even though not all vampires decide to feed of those." He replied calmly and smiled.
"You're meaning to tell me that you lie and deceive people telling them that the blood you recollect is for saving lives, when you actually feed on it?!" I asked outraged. How can they lie to us like that, people donate their blood to save lives not to feed the nightwalkers!
"Well if you call feeding of the banks, not attacking humans and have feast of them, not saving lives then I don't know what is." He glared a bit mad that I had called him a liar. I was embarrassed for not realizing this earlier.
"Umm gomen. I guess you're right. You're not lying about saving lives." I lowered my head, but the snapped quickly.
"What do you mean not all feed that way?" They actually attack people? But I've never heard anything on the news about mysterious attacks or wild animals on the loose.
"Well yeah, see my father is the leader of the vampire clan and has forced a law stating that we should only feed off blood banks, and if you desire animals, but not of the domestic kind. Some vampires didn't actually liked the idea of feeding off banks or animals, they call it unmoral to feed off "mongrels" cause they enjoy the taste of human blood better, and even though there are banks, they prefer the fresh taste of it. I won't lie to you the taste is very different. Fresh human blood can be so addictive and very dangerous, if we start attacking humans, we could risk exposing us and the clan. So that's why my father decided about the blood banks."
He sighed when he finished explaining.
"Have you ever attacked a human before?" I really wanted to know, this to see if I was any danger of being attacked. I closed my eyes a bit hopping to hear a "no".
"Yes, more than one, when I was your age, but not anymore. Now I use the banks." I opened my eyes a bit relieved, but still upset. Well it as better than saying "Yeah and I still do" that would have really scared the hell out of me.
"Do you need to feed every day? Like us, you know 3 times a day?"
"Nope, just three times a week and only once. Too much of it can be addictive like I told you before, doesn't matter if it's fresh or not, too much is dangerous, specially human kind."
"Oh, wait my age? How old are you anyway? You look a bit older than 20, but less than 30. Do you age? What's your human age and vampire age? Will you get wrinkles?"
He chuckled again and ruffled my hair, which annoyed me somewhat. I'm not a kid for him to be doing that. Yeah I was a little curios well ok a lot curious, but I'm not a kid!
"We stop ageing once we hit 29, which is awesome cause I'll never hit 30 unlike the werewolves who stop ageing once there 32." He said smirking and then covered his mouth quickly be realizing his mistake.
"Fuck you shouldn't have heard that either." He slumped his head and hit it against the counter really hard.
"WEREWOLVES!!! WHAT THE FUCK?! THE'RE WEREWOLVES TOO?! YOU'VE GOT TO BE SHITTING ME!" this was getting freakier and freakier by the minute. Werewolves! There are werewolves too! I feel like I'm in a fucking nightmare/dream!
"Yeah and I shouldn't have told you. It's one thing telling you about my clan, and it's another telling you about there's. If my dad finds out I'm dead, you're dead, we're both dead." He sighed and I could see why, they'll behead him if anyone finds out that he told me this.
"You know what I don't get. Why are you telling me this? You said it yourself you can get in trouble. Why did you tell me in the first place that you're a vampire. You could have lied to me, but you didn't." I was so confused, why would he tell me this if he can get in trouble?
"You know, I don't know myself. I just trust in you, you give me that aura that I can trust in you, but I shouldn't have told you about the werewolves." Axel told me smiling and got up to attend the pasta.
Wait did he just say that he trust in me? We don't even know each other that long, and he's telling me so much stuff.
"Pasta's ready!" Axel said cheerfully and placed two plates on the table. "Tell me if it's any good. I haven't cooked in a while."
I looked at the pasta and it looked so good and my stomach thought it was angel food, I hadn't eaten since 6 pm. I took a big mouthful, and to my surprise it was insanely delicious.
The guy's a vampire, hot, and he knows how to cook! Awesome! I frowned, maybe I thought that too loud.
"Yes you did." He responded laughing. "And you're pretty hot yourself, well more cute but you get what I mean. "
"Do you always throw passes to people that you save?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"No. You're an exception cause you're cute." He winked at me and took a bite of the pasta.
I blushed at the compliment, and took another bite of the food.
"Anything else you want to know? You already know about the werewolves so I won't hurt me more telling you about them." He lifted his shoulders and grinned at me.
"I don't really know what to ask, but let me guess the myths about them aren't real either." Lately everything is backwards so it wouldn't surprise me.
He laughed and took a sip of his vodka standing up and laid back on the counter.
"Well yeah, but if they do bite you you'll eventually turn into one too, like with vampire, though you'll need to drink of my blood to be turn into a vampire."
"OH." I stood up and walked over to him.
"Wait, you live alone, right? Why don't you live with the clan? And your family? And hey you haven't told me your age yet?" Ok, maybe I was being rude and pushy for asking too much but you can't blame me, I wanna know about him… No I mean I wanna know about them, yeah the vampires not him alone, all of them. OK and him too.
"Yeah I live alone, I'm 23, I visit my dad and Reno; he's my brother, every week. And I don't live in the clan cause I … let's just say I don't really like the way the handle things and there laws. Specially about mortals."
"What do you mean about mortals? I thought you said that they don't hurt a human, that's why you have the blood banks." I frowned concerned, I thought that they didn't hurt us.
He sighed and looked into my eyes with guilt, which made me worried.
"Oh, no, they don't hurt human none of the races do. It's just that …it's complicated. All the laws I mean, we aren't suppose to umm mix with humans, in any way. Only acquaintances not friendship, not family not love." the last three he said with a low voice filled with sadness and a bit of hurt.
Not friendship? Family? Love? It all sounds so… lonely. Even if he did have family, not being able to have friends, well human friends, or love?
"I don't understand, why can't you mix with humans? I mean aren't you talking with me, didn't you save me and bring me here?!" ok I was mad no furious. Who do they think they are!? They can't deny him friendship or love!
"Roxas if you don't want me to read or hear your thoughts at least keep 'em down. And yes they can. It the law and I can't break them." He placed his hands on my shoulders trying to calm me down, but It was useless. I was still mad.
"But isn't your dad the leader? He can do something about it. It's not fair."
"Yeah he is, and he's tried before, but the council doesn't permit it. Even my dad has to live by the rules or else the council will take command completely." Axel took the plates and placed in the dishwashers. And headed to the living room, which I followed quickly.
"And what about the werewolves I bet they don't have those silly rules!" I pouted protesting which was really weird but I was mad so that might explain it.
Axel laughed and fell back on the sofa. "Actually they have the same rules. The council's made of the three clans. Same rules for everyone, even though their leader has the same ideals as my dad, but a little more… what you call bad tempered. He hates the council and always confronts them. He and my dad are best friends since childhood which is weird cause the clans don't get along between them. My dad always taught me and Reno that it doesn't matter clan, or race. That's why I get along with almost everyone of them, except the kylans those are some sick sons of bitches."
I laughed at his remark, looks like he was right about saying he get along with almost everyone of them. Wait kylans?
"What are kylans?" confused? Yes I was and a lot. Every times he opens his mouth I'm left like a red cross person visiting Africa and left there with lots of villagers talking their native language. Yes, the what the fuck face is on display people and guess who's sporting it. Me.
"I don't like them that much like you can see, so basically there cat like, it's like a werewolf but a werepanther." He explained to me.
I shook my head at all the information I just received. Never again I am I gonna say that my life is boring or that I want something interesting to happen.
"Ok, wait. Are those guys who you were with on the club vampires too?"
"You mean Demyx and Zexion? Yeah they are, that's why Demyx got to hear what you were saying when you were staring at me." He smirked and I blushed. Damm all of you, and your nosiness. "Well Zexion isn't only a vampire, he's half werewolf too.
"Didn't you say there couldn't be mixing between races? How come he's half both?"
Axel's face turn from a smirk to a rather sad, and serious one.
"Zexion is one out of many special cases that really makes me hate the council even more.
See, his father was a vampire and his mother was a werewolf, they fell in love and eloped. The council found out and…" he pause sighing. "They were both gonna be executed, they were gonna execute Zexion too, but my father didn't permit it, he tried to save his parents too, but the council told him to choose. He didn't know who to pick so he asked them what did they want. They like any other good parent choose the life of their newborn that hadn't enjoyed life or lived it, over theirs. So my father and the leader of the werewolf clan fought with the council and decided to save the offspring's. If it ever happened again, but they must choose one race/clan to live with. My dad took Zexion in, so he lived with us until he was of age. "
I was in shock, the council was that bad? How could they do such things? Decide on killing a baby? Poor Zexion, living without his parents. The council is so so so…inhuman, well they aren't exactly human, but they should at least be more I don't know, not selfish bastards!
"Yeah I Know." Axel said nodding. I glared at him once more.
"For the zillion time Axel, stop reading my thoughts!" I yelled at him through gritted teeth.
"Hai, hai. You're no fun Roxie." he smirked at me and winked.
"Roxie? What the hell, Axel?" Roxie? Excuse me do I look like a girl to you?
"It's cute and it fits you." He pouted his lips and blinked his eyes.
I sighed in defeat, ok the nickname was cute and he didn't mean it as a girly name so I'll let it pass.
"Ok, but no girly nicknames, got it?" I warned him with my finger.
"Sure no prob." He rested his hands on the back of his head smiling and he looked at the clock on the wall.
"Shit! Dad's gonna kill me!" Axel jumped out of his couch and ran to his room.
I was in the living room confused at the sudden outburst of the crazy red head.
"Axel? You ok? What's wrong?" I got up and picked through his bed room door to see that he was currently changing shirts and I had a clear view at his muscled chest. I blushed for my rudeness and ran to the living room again.
Minutes later he walked out of his room in a very different attire. He changed his parting close to a rather casual yet formal one. He wore dark jeans, a darks green shirt and a black suit jacket over it, and his hair was slightly combed.
"Yeah, every things fine, well sort of anyways. See, I was suppose to meet my dad tonight he wanted to talk to me about something important, and I totally forgot so I'm heading over there now." He said and went to the kitchen looking for something on the counter; keys.
"Wait, you plan to leave me, a stranger, who you just met today, in your Oh so expensive loft alone?" I asked him totally not believing this. Have you ever heard of robbery? Hello you don't even know me that well!
He looked around and then to me.
"Yeah, aha. If you're hungry the fridge is full so help yourself and if you need anything call me, the number's on that table. Oh, and spare key is under the DVD. Bye." He finished and left the loft.
I feel like I'm babysitting his house. But seriously he's lucky he saved my life cause I would so totally rob him. I thought to myself as I was left alone in the huge loft.
"I heard that." Axel said as he left through the outside elevator.
"Dammit Axel stop reading them!" I yelled once more.
I could hear his laughter all the way here. Honestly he doesn't get it, does he?
I looked around once more and decided exploring his place. Well he never said I couldn't right? He practically left his place in my hands, so now I'm gonna fun searching it. I smiled evilly.
