Chapter 8: Paul Loves Catfights
I was woken up by Effy who gently kisses me on the forehead. A smile appears on my face and we giggle like we are little girls again. I can't believe how many years have passes and how I could have forgotten my cousin. Now that I remember her I can't even imagine what would happen if she was gone from my life. We are each others support and strength and nothing will tear as apart.
"Where is everyone", I ask while rubbing my eyes. Everything looks blended together and I feel really weak. That's when I remember we haven't had blood since the night Effy showed up.
"The boys left to get blood. They are not supposed to leave because of Ash but we need blood. So I told them to keep an eye out for him and don't stay out to long."
"I bet David hated that."
Effy laughs and tells me he through a fit. Which made the boys laugh but one deadly looks from him and they all grew quiet.
"The girls are in the back getting changed. Sky and Lilly are still trying to calm down Willow."
"Yeah, Willow can be bitchy sometimes. She just thinks I'm replacing her with you."
Effy lights a cigarette before she speaks. "If you think about it, it should be the other way around. I knew you before her so I have the right to act like a bitch." She blows out a smoke ring and I smirk at her.
"So why didn't you change yet", I ask well cracking my fingers.
"Because I'm scared that Willow will beat me up", she says pretending to act like a wimp. "Well not really. The real reason is because I'm lazy."
"I would have to agree. Plus I have to rest because I get extra weak when I don't have blood."
"This reminds me you never told me about the events that happened a while ago. I overheard the girls talking about some guy named Max and how he wouldn't let you have blood."
I tell her everything, from Max to the parties, the people; every little thing is said and explained in great detail. It should be a freaking novel I tell it so good.
"So anything else you would like to know?"
"No that story cleared it up." She looks at me with wide eyes. She can't believe all that stuff happened to me. Now I know she wants Ash dead because whenever I mentioned him she would bawl her fists up and her eyes would have anger in them. She looked like a vicious tiger ready to pounce on anything that came across its path.
While we wait for the boys Effy and I listen to music and make small talk. Anything that we think of becomes a topic to talk about. Most of it thought is about our childhood and all the things we would do together.
I don't even know if the girls came out yet or if the boys are back. But I really don't care because I need this time with Effy. We needed to sit down and talk about our fun times together. We needed to know that the other one still remembers all those fun times we had.
"Alright chicks the blood bank is opened", Paul yells.
We roll our eyes and tell him to shut up. He pretends to be hurt causing us to roll our eyes again.
Marko comes over with water bottles filled with blood. "We already had our blood fix", he says as he gives us the bottles.
"That's what took you so long." Effy says snatching the water bottle.
"Hot tempered", Paul says causing Effy to glare at him. I laugh and notice that the girls have just entered getting their bottles from Dwayne.
We all drink in silence while the guys sit and stare off into space. Thinking of anything and everything. Who knows what could happen in the next few days.
"I still can't believe you hunted", Effy say as Marko sits next to us after we finish our blood. I feel so much better and stronger now, like a new vampire.
"When a man needs to eat he needs to eat", he says patting his stomach.
Effy rolls her eyes and I laugh at Marko's comment. I know Effy is right but Marko is just too damn funny.
"We wouldn't have to worry if it wasn't for you." We all turn to see Willow with hate in her eyes. She looks like some psycho killer on the loose.
"I believe Ash is the one who started it all, not me", Effy spits back.
"That's not the point. You're helping him and David and I know it." I look at David who shifts his eyes to the ground.
"Believe what you like." Effy turns to leave for the back of the cave. As she walks she says "At least I'm not a jealous bitch."
As soon as those words leave her lips Willow is leaping for her. None of us are fast enough, her rage is too quick. She lands on Effy and the too begin to punch each other. I never saw girls fight like guys before. I was always the person to wonder why girls needed to pull each others hair. I mean one good hit and the fight could be over in seconds.
David pulls Willow off of Effy while Marko grabs Effy. I run to Effy's side and check out the cuts that will soon heal in a few minutes.
"Sure help the girl who's going to get us all killed", Willow screams while turning to leave for the back of the cave.
"Stop being a bitch and get it through your thick head that she's on our side." I yell causing her to scream and curse. I roll my eyes at her; she's worse then a baby.
Everyone stays silent. Lilly and Sky sit in a corner with the guys while David is in his wheelchair deep in thought.
But the silence is broken by Paul. "I love cat fights." Everyone yells shut up and he rolls his eyes. We love him for his bad timing but sometimes it's just not needed. Effy and I sit on my bad knowing that this was not a cat fight this was a war. A war between to girls who want my attention and want me safe.
