Her hair was pulled back. Her eyes carried a certain joy that differentiated from the mysterious silence they held yesterday. She looked frantic, but I could sense how her fear was a fake. She was excited and it was obvious. She was going to give us trouble. Here, in America, on national TV.
"Like, I'm totally sure of it! Tom Kaulitz has a slave girl! She totally showed me scars and marks from handcuffs and stuff, he's a total beast! And we had a threesome together where Tom video-taped us. I was too afraid to say no because I thought he would kill me, so I played along, then I stole the video while he was showering and ran away!"
She craved attention. It was obvious in her eyes. I knew that Tom's many encounters with humans will result in drastic problems and now we must face the results of his stupidity. So a video was playing now, censored and covered with black lines to keep it decent, showing Tom, his slave, and the redheaded girl together. Tom was acting as if he's performing some sort of satanic ritual. Of course, being in America and away from the mansion, he still needs to drink, and he does. He sinks his teeth in his slave's neck first, owning a harsh gasp but he quickly pulled his teeth away and went to the next one. He had their blood pooling on their skins and licked it in the most sensual way imaginable. His teeth looked realistic and the video was HQ. Even if the vampire rumor was refuted, which will be easy, the obvious presence of BDSM gear and a scarred slave girl in his bed-room might have horrid affects on the band's reputation.
I shut off the TV not wanting to see more and rushed to his room. He was staring into the sky while his slave was sleeping soundly.
"Tom, you idiotic fool! Look what your whorishness did to us!"
I turned on his TV and she was still on air, however now she looked even more dramatic, she managed to look teary and sad. What a cheap whore.
"What the fuck?"
"Good question Tom. Now ask yourself, why the hell would you introduce your slave to a complete stranger as a SLAVE?"
He did not answer. There are times when one realizes that he had committed a deed so stupid, words just fail to explain the pathetic nature of their situation. That was Tom at the moment.
"Tom…listen, this isn't the time for me to get angry at you. We're both kings and we need to fix this shit first and then we'll talk but I want you to know that I'll be there for you during this."
He looked too stunned and distant but he nodded. This was some deep shit.
"OK, brainstorm, can we say she's lying?"
"She has a video of you drinking from her."
"Can we sue her?"
"That won't fix your reputation."
"Oh my god, everyone will know that vampires are real!"
"Don't be stupid Tom! People don't believe in vampires because of a sex tape showing some guitarist drinking some groupie's blood. People do however; think you're a sick fuck that enslaves girls."
He started fidgeting and looked at his sleeping pet then back at me.
"We'll deny both of them. The new chick, was a groupie, I'll say my pet was also a groupie, and the scars were there before I even knew who the fuck she was and….and it was some random hotel that we picked that happened to be a BDSM themed hotel.
He looked assured of himself. So I had to smile I grabbed my phone as I felt it ring. It was Just. A very angry Just I am assured.
"Motherfucker shit! Can your brother explain himself now?"
"Ah…He's right here do you want to talk to him?"
"No no! Handle this for me!"
I frowned at Tom but retrieved the phone back.
"OK, what happened has happened. Now let's try to find a solution."
"Look Bill, I don't know what kind of sick shit your brother is involved in and I hardly care, but if he's going to publicize it then it's a problem. Now we can easily fix this thing especially with the interview you'll have this evening, but you tell Tom and make sure he understands that this kind of scandal can only pass once then it ruins you."
"OK, I'll tell him."
I hung up and fell on the bed sighing. I looked at Tom who looked guilty and embarrassed.
"Tom, I love you but you're stupid."
He gave me a worn out look and lay next to me.
"We'll get out of this."
"Dad will be pissed at you. REALLY pissed, like even more pissed than the time Tania ran a…."
"Don't you think I fucking realize that?"
"Just saying…"
"I will fucking kill her!"
"You are not going to kill your groupie. Not when she's already famous. This will only bring up more attention from the media."
He gave me a "you are a dumbass" look.
"Not her, my pet! She's the one who told her she was a pet! She KNOWS that her mouth must be kept shut about stuff like that when talking to strangers."
"Well what do you know? Tom's finally realizing how troublesome human women can be!"
He just sighed and closed his eyes.
"I want to get this over with and go back home. I'm exhausted."
"Doesn't it suck when you're exhausted even though you have shitloads of work to complete? Get dressed, we're having tea and then we'll head to the interview. We'll make up a story for the interview over tea."
"Fine, but you'll do most of the talking."
"Fuck no! When rumors about me being gay came out I answered, deal with your own shit."
