CHAPTER 12

Okay, first of all, it took me a while to process that last bit of information into my head but after that. It took me quite a while process more into my brain, when I was told that Vincent - beautiful and good looking as he is - is gay! Not only that, he's a freaking homosexual vampire!

"Hey!", Vincent said in a defensive voice. "No need to get all worked up about my sexuality". Apparently, they can read minds. This… just doesn't add up. "Well anyways, I'll let you handle things from here, little brother". When he said that, he vanished.

"Where'd he go?", I asked, stunned by Vincent's disappearance.

"Downstairs", Christian sighed and ran his one of his light skinned hands through his hair. "Cassandra… Can you tell me why you keep coming back here? It's dangerous for you and especially for anyone to be here".

"Christian, how was I suppose to know that you live here when I keep having visions inside my head about this house?", I explained and then thought of something. "Do you… know a girl and a guy who use to live here? By the names of Susannah and Jesse?".

I looked at him waiting for his response. "Not that I know of, me and my brother only moved in here last year". Last year? Wow.

"Oh, okay", I said, looking down. I didn't even know what to think, I wasn't even sure if I could think around him and Vincent.

"So, tell me", Christian said after a moment of silence. "What are these visions you speak of?".

I glanced at him and his gaze on me caught my glance. "I… I mean, ever since I came here, I've been having dreams about this house and about the people who use to live here. I don't know why, but I think whoever it is that keeps coming into my dreams is trying to warn me about something".

"I see", he said, letting his gaze drop from my eyes. How do vampires do that? It's like, they have the ability to hold someone's eyes with theirs. "I know about Ethan's reason for coming here, quite pitiful yet it was a close one, last night I mean".

"So that was you?", I gasped, with my eyes widened. He looked back at me and shook his head.

"That was, Vincent", he sighed. "He had just come back from a night club and I guess, as clumsy and foolish as he is-".

"I heard that!", Vincent shouted from downstairs.

I giggled when Christian shook his head again. "Anyways, he tripped over a carpet, though I don't know how he could not foresee it".

"So, the reason why Vincent held back was…", I started off, understanding how all this happened.

"… so that no blood was shed from Ethan", Christian finished. "I will admit, I was the one watching you in this room". Instead of telling him off, I blushed and looked away. "But even still, Cassandra, it's dangerous for you to be around here, especially around me and Vincent".

"I understand", I replied with a smile. "Thank you for telling me but… this house is connected to me and… I have to find out why I keep having these dreams".

I looked at Christian who was staring at me that whole time, not like something to eat but someone who I guess, from understanding his point of view as a vampire, a human being. "Cassandra, can I ask you a favor?".

"You being a vampire as a secret?", I grinned.

"Exactly", he chuckled. "I'd rather let Ethan keep guessing and keep him busy by finding nothing about me as a vampire, though, he will be here constantly, now that he's finally seen something moving in this house".

"No problem", I said and that's when I could see a glimpse of his watch. It was 2:48PM.

That's when it hit me. Troy! I quickly got off the bed but stopped before I could walk out and looked back at Christian who was already up and looking at me. "I believe someone you love is worried about you", he said and gave me a small smile. "He's waiting for you".

"You got that right", I replied with a nod. "Can we…".

"Sure", he said with a little laugh. Because of course, he could read my mind that I wanted to talk more about him being a vampire.

When I turned my head, I almost walked straight into Vincent which of course, gave me another fright. "I'm sorry", he whispered into my ear. "I didn't mean to scare you, dearie".

"Uh, Vincent?". I knew what he was going to do and there was no need to even think about it. "Please don't rub my cheek, it feels weird and it gives me the creeps". I slowly looked up at him and the reaction on his face looked a little defensive, which was surprising.

"Well, it's not my fault you smell like honey and milk", he pouted then glanced at Christian. "He even likes your scent, he just won't admit it. Especially when he carried you upstairs".

My cheeks must've changed color again when Vincent started laughing. "I'll see you some other time, Cassandra", Christian said, I looked back at him and his back was facing towards me.

"Sure", I nodded and made my way out, even though, throughout that entire time in that house, I had goosebumps yet I felt warm inside when I found out about Christian and Vincent.

But one thing still bugged me. How on earth can there be a homosexual vampire?!

When I got home, I was glad that my Grandma was asleep on the couch which gave me a chance to get away upstairs to face someone in particular.

"Where have you been?", Troy said, immediately as soon as the door automatically slid open. He was leaning against my bed post, eyeing my every move as I walked in.

"You sound like my mom", I sighed. "I know I'm really late and I'm really sorry Troy but just let me explain and don't cut in. Alright?".

I gave him a moment to calm down, especially with that serious look he had when he saw me. And so, I told him everything about what went on in that house and I even had to pinky swear him to not tell Ethan about Christian being a vampire, even as tempting as it is to tell Ethan because I know how jealous Troy can get, I just hope he hate for Ethan will get in the way of that.

"So, now that you know", I said, looking hopeful up at him. "Don't you at least… miss me?". This of course, was to get his mind off me and Christian because the look on his face, told me that he did not look happy. I placed my hand on both of his cheeks and brought it a bit lower towards my face. "My lips are down here".

Our snogging session had some pretty good intimacy though precautions to say the least, we were not going to have 'it'. 'It' as in the description of where a male and female… you know, even about the birds and the bees, though I don't know how that fits into the 'it' category. Even if we wanted to - which I don't think will happen - it would be sort of weird, a ghost who is dead having 'it' with a girl who is alive. Being sixteen and all, really has it's ups and downs. Especially for a mediator like myself.

Just how exactly does Ethan live his life as a mediator? On second thought, I'd rather not go there.

I went back downstairs and my Grandma was still sleeping, so I went and got something to eat and I suddenly thought of something. I forgot to ask Christian about the aura but there was something else… How did he know that Troy was waiting for me when Troy is… dead?

A/N:
