Chapter Four: The Crypt

" Tell me how in the world you managed to get me out of the house?" Val asked Tammy as she drove them off to Stokerton on a cold chilly night.

" Simple, you sound like crap, you kinda look like crap, just because your father left this morning" Tammy steered off and pulled down a dark street. Val sneered a little, one word about her being pale and she could kiss the throbbing atery in her neck good-bye, maybe she should have ate before she left.

Tammy pulled up to a dark black building and smiled at her friend, she tossed her hair to the side and drummed her hands on her legs. After a while of awkward staring, Tammy opened her eyes.

" Wellllllll?"

Val looked at the dark building and for a minute thought that Tammy dropped her off at a morgue.

" I think your being prejudge against vampires...seriously? a funeral home your humor sucks Tammy"

Tammy laughed aloud before wiping a tear from her eye and calming down her laughing face.

" No no this is The Crypt the place where Jamie hangs out at?" Tammy reminded her while making weird hand gestures as well. Val's face lit up as she looked at the place, Jamie was in there wasn't he? Sexy, hot senstitive slightly emo make me wanna drool goth in this place? Oh ya forget the morgue this was heaven.

Val nearly stepped out of the car before she paused and planted herself back on the seat.

" But...what if I don't fit in?" Val whimpered as she banged her head against the seat.

" Valance, you buy your clothes at Hot Topic that literally screams I'm goth and well don't worry, trust me you'll fit in, I'll pick you up around midnight so make sure you ask for the time, I don't do no second trips" Tammy sounded threating as she pushed her glasses back up, Val smiled and high fived her.

" No worries Tam I'm gonna get me some Nixson"

Tammy smiled.

" Go for it girl"

Val opened the door to the crypt and watched as the staircase loomed down, She held onto the wall as she felt she was going to fall and then found herself sometime later on stable ground. She opened the door and found the place filled to the brim with people, all dressed similar to her.

" Geez everyone looks the same, how am I gonna find Jamie now?" Val then smiled, she was a witch right? She could use magic to guide her. She closed her eyes and contrected and then found Jamie's scent aura she followed it carefully, not wanting to bump into anyone and opened her eyes to see Jamie standing.

He wore a black chocker around his neck and a black muscle t-shirt. Around his arms he adoned a purple and black striped sweater and black skinnies with two rips adjacent to each other on each leg, his belt sagged to the right and his black boots with white buttons. Val looked up and saw his shaggy black hair and his beautiful dark brown eyes, his face was red from the heat that came from the place gave off, not to mention making Val hungier by the minute. She watched as he opened his mouth and saw plastic fangs.

She looked around and saw everyone else wore them, she silently giggled to herself as Tammy was right about her fitting in. As a treat she let her fangs slip out and tried to work up the courage to talk to Jamie. However reality was a bitch and a girl with a long black ponytail and a black arm band tattoo came over and smiled at Jamie. He blushed and they began to sway in what was dancing.

Val felt her heart shatter in two.

She walked over and sat down a couch where anyother girl with two much powder on looked at her. Her hair was black with bright red streaks and she wore a gothic vampireish dress. She smiled at Val but didn't say anything else.

Val sighed and dug out her cellphone, no point staying her if Jamie was with another girl and what a way to bring her spirits down. Val dialed Tammy's cell and put the phone to her ear, however she watched as that girl walked away from Jamie and how Jamie looked very sad. She waltzed past Val and watched as the girl gave her a stare then a smirk and walked to a back exit.

Val peered over to Jamie who was slowly walking towards another back exit. Val saw this as a chance ( of coarse) and jumped up and nearly used her speed but stopped herself and stood at the exit. She pushed the blue door aside and watched as she was in an alley way. She saw Jamie sitting between the dumpster ands growled to herself, He was waaaayyy to hot to be next to one of those. Swallowing her fears she walked towards him.

" Jamie?" She felt her voice drow surprisingly dry as his eyes peered up at her, she was even more suprised to see he was crying.

" What do you want?" His voice broke as he quickly wiped his eyes and stood up looking angry.

" I don't want my heart broken again" Val bit her lip and hesitated the fact to touch his shoulder, but he was walking away and she briskly touched him.

" Jamie listen, I dunno what happened but I promise you I won't ever hurt you" Jamie turned around and looked down at the ground at his boots, he kicked a lowly rock and peered back up.

" Thats what Lilith said when I met her last week, she was beautiful, perfect understood me" He peered up at Val, " What about you, I hardly know you all I know is that you hang with Tammy and your slightly rich"

Well Dad being the president of Elysia, they did get a lot of money.

She bit her lip and showed her fangs and smiled.

" I understand, you love the guitar, you believe your soul is complete when you look up at the stars at night and they twinkle at you, you love poetry" Val smiled as she watched Jamie peer up and seemed to lighten up a little at him, he blushed which Val found absoleutly adorable.

Jamie pulled her into a hug and nuzzled her neck, Val blushed and felt hot like a rocket as Jamie whispered in her ear.

" I knew you were the one anyways, first time I met you I had a feeling you would be my girl" He pulled back and smiled, " Now I see, you are the one who understands me no problem"

He placed a hand underneath Val's chin and titled her head as he leaned in and gave her, her first kiss.

Val's head swam, was this a dream? No, no it wasn't this was better than any dream, she finally got her crush to see her and what made her really weak in the knees was that he had one on her two.

He pulled back and smiled.

" You want me to walk with you home?" He asked as he placed a skull wristband hand towards Val.

Val shook her head.

" I love on the outskirts of Bathory, thats a far walk from here" Jamie smiled and stood close to her.

" Doesn't matter to me, I would walk with you anywheres" And with that there hands intwined and they started their walk.

Behind them however, Lillith smirked and appeared from behind the dumpster and placed a hand in her camoflague pants. She sure had a lot to discuss with Vlas tonight.
