ON WITH THE SHOW!
How hard is it to find a diner in Tulsa? I've been driving around for close to to... well lets see I left the depot at 5:47... It's 8:13, sooo... Eh, roughly two and a half hours. I left the depot roughly two and a half hours ago, and I still can't find a... Why does that sign look familiar?
...
"Son of a- are you kinding me?" I shouted in my car. Okay, so appearantly, I've been driving around in a circle... Again... I look up through the sunroof and mutter, "I hate you right now." But thankfully Mom was on my side, because three minutes later I found an open diner. I looked back up the sunroof, and shouted, "I take it all back, I love you!" After finding a parking space, which took forever by the way, I walked into the diner and grabbed a stool at the bar (at least I think that's what you call it... Hm...).
"HEY!"
"Huh?" I snapped out of my thoughts to see an irritated teenage girl standing on the other side of the bar, in front of me, holding a notepad.
"I said what do you you want?" she glared.
"Better service that's for sure," I mumbled softly.
Just then a little kid next to me chuckled, obviously hering me.
"Something funny to you, runt?" the waitress switched her glare from me to the kid, who grinned sheepishly whil backing away.
"Josie, be nice to your brother."
My head snapped up to the voice, and was shocked to see who I thought it was... Jullie.
"Well, well, well," I teased as she got closer, making her freeze when she saw me, "Of all the diner's in Tulsa, I just had to walking into the one you work at, huh?"
Silence.
"How ya doin', Jewels?"
After a few more minutes she regained some of her composer. "F-fine," she said, her face turning a bright red, "You?"
"Better now, thanks for asking." I smirked.
The waitress looked back and forth between me and her, before shrugging. "So again, what do you want?"
"I'll have," I started, taking a deep breath first, before going through the menu, "6 stacks of buttermilk pancakes, 36 sausage links, 20 strips of bacon, 7 hash browns, 2 things of scrambled eggs (with cheese in it), 6 grilled cheeses, one cheese burger, one double cheese burger, one thriple cheese bacon burger, 17 things of curly fries, and I'll wash it all down with 13 vanilla milkshakes." I put the menu down and smiled at the girl, who looked back at me with her hands on her hips.
"Now what do you really want?" she hissed.
I looked at her confused, "I...just told you what I wanted."
"You honestly expect me to believe you want all that?" her raised an eyebrow at me.
"Yeah," I said, "that's what I want."
You stared at me for a minute, and I actually started to feel uncomfortable, 'til she shrugged saying, "Whatever."
I looked at Jewels, who was looking at the space next to me, where a little boy was sitting. He was looking in his lap, and I kinda felt ad for him. So what should an awesome, spectacularly amazing guy like me do?
"In fact..." I said matter-of-fact like, before turning to the kid, "What do you want?"
The kid looked up at me in awe. Hm, I thought, maybe he's never seen a vamp before.
I poked the kids head. "hello~," i joked, "Anyone in there. I asked you something."
"Can...," the kid spoke quietly, "can I have... cake...?"
I looked at him strangely I guess because after that he looked back at his lap again. Then I burst into laughter. The kid, Jewels, and the angry waitress looked at me funny. "Like I care," I choked out, "Have whatever you want."
"R-really?" he asked.
"Yeah," I shrugged, "Why not some ice-cream while we're at it?"
"With brownies?"
"And cookie pieces-"
And hot fudge-"
"And whip cream-"
"And a cherry on top." Jewels giggled.
silence.
"Really, julie?" the kid said emotionlessly.
"Fine," jewels rolled her eyes, "what about a strawberry?"
"Strawberry's fine." he said looking at me,
"Yeah I like strawberries." I added looking at Jewels.
Our food arrived, mine taking a lot longer than expected, since I ordered so much. What can I say, six months walkin' the desert, you'd be hungry too. To my suprise everyone in the diner was watching me eat. I had pretty much devoured everything but the plates. During my very large meal, I got to know Jewel's and the other two a little better. I learned that both of Jewel's parents died in a car accident when she was a little girl, and that it was her grandma that forced her to go to PFA (People of Faith Academy). Her mom and dad were Vampire liasons... I think. They studied everything they could about Vamps, and even got taught by real Vamps. She was raised to respect the Vamps, and to understand them, that's why she doesn't hard them like everyone else. That, and it was a Vamp that tried to saved her from the car accident. The kid sitting next to me is Nate. Sadly he's the angry waitreess' little brother (poor guy). He's really shy around people and doesn't talk much, but is really energetic and talkative around people he likes. But, he also has insecurity issues. I think it's because his big sister is always mean to him. Which brings me to!... Josie. I don't like Josie. She's mean. Hahah, kidding, really though she is mean, but I can kinda understand. She's the oldest of four kids. Lives with a single mom, dad skipped out. It does stuff to you. anyways, back to me! I was on my last burger when I realized something.
"Hey, do you guys know where a department store is?" I asked everyone.
"Yeah there's one about a block down," said Jewel's, "Hang on I get off in an hour, I'll go with you."
"No thanks," I replied, "I kinda have to do some stuff... Ya'know," I looked her in the eye hoping she would catch on.
Her eyes widened at realizing what I was talking about. "OH!" she exclaimed loudly. Everyone turned to look at us. "Well... the I, uh..." she stumbled, turning red again.
"Don't worry," I teased, "You'll see me again." I gave her a lopesided grin before leaving the diner, and getting into the lambo.
It didn't take long to find everything I would need for my stay in the tunnels. Ugh. I still can't believe that these Vamps live there. I order some stuff for my room, and the secret project me and Ant are putting up together.I like Ant, he's pretty chilled. Well, after I hit the electronics, I went to see how good the clothing selection is. There was some nice things, but nothing really my taste. I mean come on, everything was colorful! Sorry, but I need black clothes, not pink and yellow T-shirts. After a while though I did find a few good things. It was then that I made my way to the bath supplies. I was almost out of shower gel and soap. That and I needed a new toothbrush. After I got everything I needed I did a quick checklist. I got the clothes, bathroom stuff, electronics, and furniture. Finally! I can sleep in a real bed, heheheh. Well, after I put everything in the truck that I... borrowed... I drove in all back to the depot. Now I may not have the stuff for the secret project, but everything that's going in my room is in the truck.
When I got to the depot, I drove around to the spot where I made my escape and called earth to me. When my arm, neck, and heart started to glow green, I opened the earth big enough to bring everthing down. First I brought the bed down and set it up. It took me awhile... Damn intrusctions were in french. Thank goddess I speak french. 'Course I did fail french in school. Oh well, he point is I eventually got the bed set up. After that, I brought down the dresser and vanity, mini fridge, desk, the computer, couch (even though I'm not sure why I got it), bookshelf, two boxes of books, a box of video games, one bigass plasma TV, a beside table, the clothes I bought, and everything else. After I had everything put the way I wanted it and the electricity and internet pumpin', since it was about 4:15 PM, I decided to to go take a shower. I grabbed everything I needed, and opened my wall to leave when I saw someone laying in front of me.
I looked at the body, it was obviously a girl (yes, I'm a perv, I know! So what? SIX MONTHS MAN! SIX!) As I got closer, I realized it was the blonde girl with the country twang. She was laying on the cold hard floor, so being the nice guy that I am, I wrapped one of the blankets I bought around her. When I did that, she stirred a little.
"No mama," she mumbled in her sleep, "not the pickle."
...
"What. The. Fuck?" I mouthed, looking at her like she's insane. Though from what i just heard, she might be.
Anyways, I continued on my path to find the bathroom. I remembered Ant saying they were upstairs, but we never made it up there. Oh well, time to play hide-n-seek. Of course it took my a while to find it. See, I went up to the first floor, but I passed the stairs, so I ended up walking around for a while and ran into a big raven. It was staring at me like I was lunch, so I backed away pretty quickly. I walked into one of the openings, but it turned out to be a room with three girls sleeping in it. i left the room and made a left... then a right... then another left, and I found an opening. Yet somehow, I was back in the room with the three girls. I don't know how, but I wasn't complaining. After a while I found the staircase, and then noticed it was right next to the staircase I made to go to my room. When I got upstairs, I saw a note taped to the wall addressed to me. What was in it made me laugh. The note was a map of the floor, showing how to get to the bathroom. Ant is one smart cookie... Wait, do people still use that phrase?
I had finally found the bathroom. But when I got there, there was something waiting for me. It was that freaky raven again. What the hell man! Is it following me? This is getting really weird, even for me. I stood there staring at the raven as it stared back at me. neither of us moving. We just stood there. Waiting. Of course people are gonna be waking up soon, and I wanna be in my room by then so...
"Wha'd up Big Bird?" I joked.
The raven then spread ts wings and flew towards me.
I ducked, doing karate chops in the air, shouting, "WEE-HEE!", but the raven was gone. So I shrugged and went into the bathroom.
That shower was so magical! I have not had a real shower in so long, I pretty much jizzed in my pants when I saw the shower head. After turning on the water, and removing my clothes and bandages, I practically ran to the running water. I meansure, it wasn't hot at first and the water pressure sucked, but hey, call a little fire, asked water to turn up the pressure a bit and BOOM! You got yourself an awesome shower. I pretty much stayed in there for like, a good two or three hours, maybe. I scrubbed myself good. There was not a speck of dirt on me, brushed my teeth 'til they were pearly white again, and my hair shined its normal unusual colorness. I wrapped myself in a towel, put my things in a bag, bandage wrapped my arm, body, and neck, and processed to go back to my room. But someone was waiting outside the bathroom for me.
"Took ya long eough." the girl twanged.
I looked up quickly, covering my forehead with a another towel, to see the blonde country girl standing to the side with her hands on her hips. "What're you, my mother?" I complained, before smirking. "Oh I get it! you just wanted to see me in a towel, huh?"
She instantly got red. "No, that's not why!" she defended quickly.
"Sure," I mouthed, walking away.
Blondie stepped in front of me, blocking my path. "I came here," she crossed her arms, "to tell you that you need to be nice to the red fledglings. You don't know them, and to be so mean to us is worse than-"
"Givin' rattle snake corn?" I joked, trying not to laugh. She gave me a look, before I realized what she said. "Wait did you say RED fledglings?"
"Yeah, and I'm they're High Priestess." she said, keeping a stead gaze.
I looked up at her mark to see, it was indeed, red. A deep lush crimson. "Red..." Her marks are red. She's different from the other fledglings... "Just like me..."
"What did you say?" she was both shocked and taken back (wait are they the same thing? I can never remember...).
I didn't answer. I didn't give her time to speak again, I just ran. I ran as fast as my legs would take me. Then, outta nowhere, the raven appeared and I stopped dead in my tracks. Seriously, this bird was giving me the heebie-jeebies. And then her voice appeared again.
"Thanks, Raphiem," she said to the bird.
"Oh, Come. ON!" I shouted, "Give me a break, would ya?"
Just then the raven gave off a wierd, kinda choking sounding, croack. When I looked at the raven it had grown seven times bigger, its taloned feet got thicker, its wings got longer and bigger, and its beak was shrinking. The feathers were disappearing, and the eyes turned softer, more human-like. when it the raven was done growing, it was replaced by a teenager.
silence...
"What...the FUCK?" I yelled incrediously. "What the hell just happened to bird bird!" I asked blondie.
"Please, do not call me that." the guy sighed.
"And it TALKS?" I shouted looking at him wide-eyed.
"Don't call him 'It'!" the blonde snapped.
"My name is Raphiem," the guy said, calmly. "I am the eldest son of the fallen immortal Kalona, who once walked the path I do now in the name of our Goddess." he declared proudly.
I don't know why... but I couldn't keep myself from laughing. "She actually did this to you?" i as crackin' up! "Man that sucks!" He was getting angry, I could tell, and blondie was about to start yammering on about being nice, and respecting Nyx. So, I did the most responsible thing I could. "Look," I started, cutting off the little priestess, " I'm bored, it took me forever to find the bathroom so I could shower for the first time, I'm in nothin' but a towel so I'm otherwise basically naked-"
"Ooh twin, I think my dream came true."
"Ditto, twin."
I turned to my left to see the two girls who were with Zoey from the other night checkin' me out. I winked at them for the hell of it. Then I started to here more and more footsteps walking toward our little congregation.
"Oh, well look at the time," I said, looking at my wrist, "looks like I should go, don't wanna be late for my appointment." I grinned and turned to walk to my room, only to be cut off by the Zoey girl.
"Didn't you just get here?" she smirked, crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow, "What appointment would you have?"
"Uh...," Crap! "I have an appointment with...," I had to come up with a lie, and quick. Oh, I've got it! "The High Priestess of the Tusla House of Night!" Okay so it wasn't a complete lie, I mean I did have to go see the High Priestess... She just didn't know I was coming... (Don't. JUDGE ME DAMNIT!)
Everyone was looking at me with expressions of shock, fear, and worry.
Why?, I thought, She can't be that bad. "So," I slowly walked away, toards my room, "I'll see ya'll later... PIECES!"
When I got to my room, I saw the blanket I wrapped around the girl was bunked up, and tossed on my new bed. I closed the wall behind me, giving me some privacy to get dressed. I put on a new pair of boxers with a skull on my junk and the word 'BONED' on the back. I had just finished wrapping my more durable bandages around me, when the wall opened up. I turned aroun to see the girl standing there looking red as a tomatoe as she stared at me.
"Hey," I shouted, feinting anger, "don't you know how to knock!" I covered my chest, just to be funny.
"I-I-I..." she studdered, causing me to burst out laughing.
"That's so cute." I cooed, walking up to her, seeing her get redder by the second. "So what'd you want?" I grinned.
"I told the others I was gonna say behind," she said, looking away, "I told'em I wanted to talk to you."
"Well, then come in and talk."
"I can't, you put some kinda-" she complained, before I grabbed her hand, pulling her through the barrier, closer to me.
I looked into her deep blue eyes, watching as they glazed over. I dropped her hand quickly. "So," I said, breaking eye contact and walking over to my dresser, and pulled out a pair of slightly baggy black jeans, and put them on, before turning back to her, "What'd wanna talk about?" I turned back to my dresser and looked my a shirt.
"Well, I wanted to thank you, for givin' me a blanket." she said thankfully.
"No problem," I choked out, trying not to laugh at the memory of her sleep-talk.
"So, why do you have to bandage your body so much," she asked almost sounding concerned, and freezing my actions, "What happen?"
I hesitated at first. What was I supposed to say? How do I tell someone something like that,It wasn't something I tell random strangers.
You will have to talk about it eventually.
Oh, now you wanna ay something, I rlled my eyes, Thanks for such helpful adive.
"And Aphrodite said she and Darius think they saw your marks were blakish," she continued.
Damnit! that must be the two I met at the truck. "I don't wanna talk about my marks," I said lowly, just above a whisper. I put on a tight blank black T-shirt.
"What about the bandages?" she asked again, "Are you okay?"
I shut the dresser drawers as calmly as possible before answering. "I'm fine."
"Are you-"
"I SAID I WAS FINE!" I tensed. I was gonna snap.
"I'm just tryin' to help!" she pouted at me, her hasnds on her hips.
"Well who asked you to!" I turne around and glowered at her. I could feel my left hand throbbing.
She looked me in the eyes, not angry or anything, and said, "I get the feeling Nyx did."
I froze again. But I quickly regained my composer. "Lets go," I said, "your friends are probably worried."
"Y-yeah," she greed, walking out with me, "your probably right.
What's your plan, mom?
