Hey. I can't find inspiration anymore. I am seriously scrapping the bottom of the barrel here. My dreams are supplying me with less usable material now, and it is starting to stop making any sense (just like that -.-'). I just need suggestions on what to put for the new chapters that will be put up, and all will be well with the world. Please, I'm starting to beg you! Well, on with it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Tokio Hotel. I do however own my house … never mind.
July 22, 6:30 am: Bill POV
I had just woken up when I started to think to myself. It had been a week since our encounter with Aron, and Yuki looks as though she has been hiding something from us. These days, it seems to be getting worse.
Arianna seem to be getting sadder and sadder and she seems to be running out of her usual energy. It has started to get everyone worried, and I am starting to think that Yuki knows what's going on. If she doesn't, then she might have a theory. I don't know which one is correct, but I think that I will find out soon enough.
I went downstairs to see Yuki sitting at the table eating quietly, and I noticed that she was tapping her foot. I sat down next to her and started to eat. After a few minutes, I couldn't take the silence anymore, so I decided to break it.
Yuki POV
Bill had sat down beside me. I guess I was so absorbed in my thinking to really notice. I was thinking about what the problem was with Arianna lately. I have never seen her act like this before. Why would she possibly be acting so strange?
Suddenly, I heard Bill start to speak, "Why is it so quiet?" I looked up at him. "What do you mean, Billa?" "I mean, it's been so quiet lately, and I am worried. Is something wrong with Arianna?" I looked at him for a moment. After thinking I told him, "I'm not sure, but I want to find out. But, I think it might have something to do with Tom." He looked at me for a second, and then he nodded and turned away. I wasn't sure what was happening, but I know one thing, I want to find out. We started to talk about random topics that came to our minds when we heard people falling out of their beds. They have been getting up later then usual lately… me and my perverted mind.
Bill POV
When everyone was downstairs and had eaten breakfast, we all went to the living room. Yuki and I started to talk quietly, so that no one would here us. "Yuki, I think it's time that we found out what is wrong with Arianna." "Yeah, but how?" "I have an idea, but I need your full cooperation." She nodded and I told her my idea. "I think that maybe when you and Arianna are making dinner tonight, you would talk to her." "In a room full of sharp pointy objects? Sure, sounds safe enough!" She replied with the most sarcastic look she could make, "But, I suppose that it would be a good idea… but if you hear screams of pain, please feel free to enter the room." She smiled and we laughed. Hopefully we could finally find out what was happening.
I saw Hana get up, "What are we going to do now?" That was a very, very good question. What are we going to do? "We could go to the park and spend the day there?" "That's a good idea!" Arianna said, putting on a bright smile. Even that couldn't convince me that she was ok.
Everyone agreed with Arianna and we all went upstairs to change our clothes. I chose to wear black sweats with a black t- shirt and my pair of sneakers. I want to be able to run around with Yuki. I brushed my hair down and put a hair tie around my wrist just in case, and I didn't put make- up on. I went into Yuki's room to see if she had finished changing. She was wearing grey baggy sweat pants and a sky blue t-shirt, and was going to wear her regular pair black of sneakers. She smiled sweetly at me and we left her room.
We saw Tom in blue sweat pants and a white shirt (baggy of course), and, as usual, he had a hat and bandana on. Arianna came out of her room with baggy black sweat pants and a pink t-shirt, and I knew that she was also going to wear sneakers; she had a pink pair that she liked to wear. Yuki smiled and said, "Let's head on downstairs!" and headed for the stairs.
When we reached the living room, we saw Georg, Gustav, Hana, and Roxy waiting for us. Gustav had on beige pants with a black t-shirt and had on his blue hat. Georg was wearing white sweat pants and a grey hoodie, and his hair was tied in a low ponytail. Hana had on green camouflage caprice with a purple top and I knew that she was going to wear her favorite pair of blue sneakers. Roxy was wearing navy blue caprice and a fiery red top, and she was going to wear her brown sneakers.
We all split up to go to the cars. As usual Yuki, Arianna, Tom and I were in the convertible and Roxy, Hana, Gustav, and Georg were in the Malibu. We had set off to the park when I decided to get the plan finalized with Yuki. I leaned over to her, cupped my hands around my mouth, got close so that my hands pressed against her head, and whispered in her ear, "So, tonight, you are going to talk to Arianna, and find out what is happening with her?" She nodded. "Good." I said and kissed her ear, licking it a little. She blushed and hit my arm playfully and said, "You naughty boy, Billa!" I reeled away grinning, and then realized that Tom was staring at us and Arianna's eyes were wide in the rear view mirror. "IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!!!!!" Yuki and I said at the same time. They looked away and didn't bother with it anymore. They probably think that I said something totally wrong…
Tom POV
I saw Bill whispering in Yuki's ear, and then I saw her hit his arm and say, "You naughty boy, Billa!" Holy cow that is not something I wanted to hear, especially if it's my younger brother that it's being directed to. I looked at them wide eyed, and they screamed, "IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!!!!!" and then I looked away. That was indeed a highly disturbing chapter in my life that I seriously do NOT want to relive.
I am worried about Arianna. She is not acting like herself, and she has gotten a lot skinnier over the last week. I remember that the phone rang last week, and she went to go get it. When she came back, she was smiling, but it looked fake. Things haven't been the same since.
I wonder what's wrong…
Just as I thought that we arrived at the park. We got out and we saw the Malibu enter the park, and the others got out. We found a nice shady place to put our stuff and Gustav immediately lay down and covered his eyes. Mustn't have gotten much sleep last night… great, now I sound like Yuki when she's half awake. Hana sat beside him and everyone split up, me and Arianna went together, Yuki and Bill going off somewhere, and Roxy and Georg running off with each other.
Arianna and had decided to take a walk around the park together. We walked in silence for a few minutes before I spoke, "What's wrong?" "Nothing…" "Come on, I know you better than that. Tell me." She thought for a moment, and then looked up at me, "My parents are getting divorced." I almost choked on air. "What?!""My parents are getting divorced. The phone call I got last week was from my dad. He told me that he and my mom were splitting up." That shocked me. I hugged her and she wrapped her arms around my neck. We stayed like that for a few minutes before letting go of each other and walking around some more hand in hand. She had started to tell me that when she turned eighteen she would have to mate with the person she bites, and asked me if I wanted to be with her. I said yes and we continued walking.
Bill POV
I went with Yuki and we walked around until we found the swings. We both sat on a swing and I started to talk," Yuki, what is wrong?" I couldn't stand that she was hurt some how. Did I do something? "Nothing, it's just that something is on my mind." "What is it?" I asked her worriedly. "It's just… you know how vampires drink blood every four years?" I nodded and she continued, "Well, when we start to drink blood, it would be on our sixth birthday. When I turn eighteen I will have to drink blood, and that is the age that when we bite, that person would become a vampire also… and we won't be able to reverse the effect… so that person would become our mate…" I nodded, in shock that she would have to do that next year.
"I am worried that I would bite you. I mean, if you didn't love me, than you would be miserable, and I don't want that, and-"I cut her off with the most passionate kiss I could manage (we were sitting on swings after all). "Of course I love you, and I want to become your mate, and I'm sure that the boys feel that way about the other girls, so don't say that." She smiled up at me and gave me a small kiss on the lips and we started to head back.
Georg POV
We found a nice bench to sit on where no one would find us and we made out for a bit. When we took a break to catch our breath, I saw Roxy had a small sparkle in her eye. "Georg, I need to tell you something." I looked at her. "On my eighteenth birthday, I need to drink blood, but I also will need a mate. The person I bite will become my mate. So, I was wondering if you wanted to…" I got what she was trying to say and kissed her. "I want to be with you, and I will. You can bite me on your eighteenth birthday." I told her. After I said that she kissed me softly and we headed back to where Gustav and Hana were.
Gustav POV
I felt Hana sit beside me and I turned my head toward her. I saw her smiling down at me and I smiled up at her. I really, really like her.
"Gustav, I need to tell you something." I sat up and she continued," You know how I told you how vampires start to suck blood when they turn six?" I nodded. She had told me this last week while we were in my room. And no, we weren't doing anything. "Well, on their eighteenth birthday we have to mate with the person we bite, so…" I got what she was trying to tell me. She wanted to bite me on her eighteenth birthday. "Of course I want to be the one you bite. I want to be with you for the rest of my life." She smiled and kissed me sweetly and then I saw that everyone else was coming back from different directions. Arianna and Tom were walking from a path that was in front of me and holding hands. Bill was giving Yuki a piggy- back ride from the path on my right. Georg was carrying Roxy bridal style and they were laughing with each other on the path on my left.
When they all sat down (except Yuki who was still clinging to Bill's back.) we all talked and laughed for a bit. "I need to get this off my mind." Arianna said to all of us. We all went quiet because we wanted to know what had been going on with her.
"Last week I got a phone call from my dad. And he told me that he and my mom are getting divorced." The other girls looked shocked, and Yuki looked like she had been slapped in the face. "What?!" Yuki almost screeched, but was careful not to make Bill deaf. "That's impossible! Your parent's are the most lovey- dovey people I know! That is just… weird!!!" "I know," Arianna replied, "But it happened. They are going to finalize everything next week and my mom is going to get custody of you and me, considering that when my dad is depressed he drinks a lot." Yuki nodded sadly and everything went silent for a moment. I saw Bill whisper something in Yuki's ear and she faced him and said in a dull tired voice, "Well, no kidding…" and kissed his cheek, and then surprisingly, she fell asleep. I wonder what they were talking about… you know what? Never mind.
Bill POV
I turned to Yuki after Arianna had finished talking and whispered in her ear, "I guess you don't need to talk to her tonight, then." She looked at me for a second and gave a sarcastic look that clearly read 'well, what gave you that idea…' and said to me "Well, no kidding…" kissed my cheek, and then to my surprise I saw it was sunset, and I felt Yuki fall asleep on my back. Were we really there for that long? Time passes by quickly when you're having fun, I guess. We all started to head to the cars and went with the usual people in the usual arrangement.
I lay Yuki's head on my lap and stroked her hair absent mindedly. I looked at the scenery as it passed by and thought about what Yuki had told me. She is going to make me into her mate when she turns eighteen… I liked the idea of being with her for the rest of my life, but what should I expect when I turn into a vampire?
"You can expect having all the powers that I have and don't worry; I will train you on how to use them." Yuki said. I looked down at her surprised that she was awake. "Ah, I see you are surprised. I can read minds and do a whole mess of stuff. You shouldn't be too worried, it won't be that bad. You will only be a little out of control for about a week, but you will get a hold of how to use your powers. The same goes for everyone else. Just try to stay calm and not lash out and you would be fine!" She smiled at me and went back to sleep. Well, that was useful.
At the house
When we got back I woke Yuki up and we all went inside to see the others had already gotten home. Yuki and Arianna went to the kitchen to make dinner, and I was starving! Everyone else went upstairs to shower and change into their pajamas.
I got up to my room and sat on my bed for a minute. My heart was fluttering and every time I thought of Yuki, my heart would speed up a little. I really love that girl, don't I?
I showered and put on my clean sweats that I sleep in and a white t- shirt that I also sleep in. I walked into the hallway see Tom waiting outside for me. "Hey." He greeted me. "Hey. What's wrong?" "Nothing, is it wrong to want to walk downstairs with my little brother?" I just looked at him weirdly (Hanilove: let me demonstrate. His face was like this- O.O Bill: *sad, pouty face* that's not nice! Hanilove: *Thinks for a second* don't care! Just kidding! *pats Bill on the back and walks away*Bill: O.O) and walked down the stairs with him.
When we got down we saw Yuki and Arianna in their pajamas and putting spaghetti on plates and putting them on the table. Yuki hadn't seen me so I walked behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist. She paused for a moment and then she turned around and smiled at me. She said, "I knew you were coming, but I just wanted to do something." She kissed me quickly on the lips and walked away. I pouted at her and all she said was, "If you are good, you can have more later." And sat down to wait for everyone else. I sighed and sat beside her to wait, and then felt like someone was staring at me. I turned and saw Tom and Arianna staring wide- eyed and looking a little green. I gave them a stern look and said, "Well it's not like we haven't seen you do that to each other!" and their eyes went back to their normal size. They both sat in their usual places at the table and waited patiently for everyone else. One by one they all came down the set of stairs and sat on the chairs. We ate our pasta in silence and then put our dishes in the sink.
Everyone went to the living room to watch TV except Yuki, who was washing the dishes. I went back to the kitchen to see Yuki sitting by the table reading a piece of paper. I walked behind her and glanced over her shoulder to see what she was reading. As I read, I felt a deep sadness growing inside me:
Dear Princess Yuki,
We regret to inform you that you parents have died in what seems to have been a human attack. The medics tried their best and worked their hardest, but your parents could not be saved. Again we are so sorry, and we hope you could forgive them and forgive us for telling you this.
All the best,
The Grand Council
Then I saw another letter on the table:
Dear Princess Yuki,
I am so sorry. I can't believe this happened. I know that when you wake up in a hospital, this isn't the kind of news you want to hear, but the medics tried their best, you must understand. I have decided that you will stay with your friend, Arianna Croft, and her family in the human world until the issue of who will get custody of you is resolved. When you become of age you will become the queen, and the mate of your choice shall become king. I'm sorry that I couldn't tell you this in person, but I was busy. Make smart decisions and be safe.
Sincerely,
The grand Elder
Oh, gosh… She turned and faced me with a serious expression. "Do you want to know what had happened that day, or are you going to stand there all night?" I sat down and she told me her story. "When the attack happened and I healed myself, I used so much power that I fainted. When I woke up I was in the hospital wing of the palace. I found the letters from the Grand Council and the Grand Elder on the bedside table and that's when I found out that my parents were dead. This was how I met the other girls. My last name is Croft." Wait, in the letter it said the Arianna's last name was Croft, so that would mean… "Yes, I was adopted by Arianna's family. My full name is Yuki Croft."
I couldn't believe it. That explains why they always act like sisters and stuff, because technically, they are. I wrapped my arms around her and we stayed like that for a few minutes. She got up and said, "Let's go, the others are probably going to send a search party after us if we stay here any longer." "Wanna bet?" "Ten bucks says they are." "You're on!"
We walked out of the kitchen to the living room, and Tom was the first to notice. He stood up and yelled, "There you are!!! We were about to send a search party after you!!!!" Yuki looked at me and said, "Cough it up, buster!" She smirked as I handed her ten dollars and looked for a corner to sob in. Everyone else just looked at us like we were crazy and turned back to the TV, shrugging.
Yuki and I sat on the couch together and watched with the others. After a few hours I looked at the clock and saw that it was 11:48 pm and I looked at Yuki to see that she was asleep, snuggled against me. I turned to face the others and said, "I'm going to put Yuki to sleep, and then I'm going to hit the sack." They only looked at me and nodded, then turned back to the TV. What a bunch of couch potatoes!
I got up carefully so I wouldn't wake Yuki up, and then picked her up bridal- style. I carried her up the stairs and lay her on her bed and put her under the covers. I turned off the light and got in as well because I wanted to sleep with her tonight, and hugged her around her waste. I fell asleep to the rhythm of her steady breathing.
Later that night: Yuki's POV
I woke up and wondered where I was for a minute. I remembered falling asleep on the couch next to Bill, and now I was here. I wanted to get up and look at my clock to find out what time it was, but I felt something warm and soft on my face and that side of my body, and got closer to it. Soon I was falling asleep, but I suddenly got a frightening thought. What was I snuggling against?
I jumped and shot backwards falling off the bed, and taking whatever I was sleeping against with me. I screamed and jumped backwards onto my feet, I screamed, "RAPIST!!!!!!" and made a sword with my power of light. I almost plunged it into the so called rapist when I saw him turn on the lamp I had on my bedside table. "Stop! Stop! It's me!!!!!" The person screamed. I recognized the voice and the sword disappeared. "Billa! Don't scare me like that! ""Me, scare you? You scared the crap out of me!" The door of my room shot open and Arianna and Tom shot through. I wonder why they are here at the exact same time… What? I'm tired.
"What's going on? I heard screaming!" Tom asked us worried. "I thought that Bill was a rapist and I didn't know who it was so I threw the both of us on the ground, and I almost killed him. How about you?" "I was asleep and I heard someone scream rapist, and ran to see my brother on the ground in his boxers." I looked at Bill and saw that he really was in just his boxers. I am pretty sure that my face was the same shade as a tomato. "What," He said, "I was warm and I didn't think you would mind. I mean, you were practically dead to the world, and I figured that you would still be asleep when I was cooled down…" He gave a puppy dog face and I sighed. "Ok, fine, you can stay in my bed for tonight. But for future notice, warn me when you decide to sleep with me, otherwise I would freak out." He smiled happily and I saw Hana, Roxy, Gustav, and Georg enter the room behind Arianna and Tom. "What happened? We heard someone scream!" Tom turned to them and said with a bored expression, "Don't worry. Yuki just thought that Bill was a rapist and almost killed him. Go back to sleep everything's fine." They looked kind of freaked out, but left. "Just don't do that again, ok? You scared me half to death and back!" Arianna said. I nodded and she and Tom left, closing the door behind them.
I looked at the clock and sighed. It was 2:36 am and I was tired. "Come on, Bill, let's go back to sleep." I said to him and we crawled back into the bed. I snuggled close to him and we fell asleep together.
The next time Yuki got up that morning
When I woke up I looked at the clock. It was now 6:38 am and I didn't want to get up. I was too warm and comfortable by Bill that I just didn't have the will power. I decided to just sleep for a little bit longer. Just a little bit longer…
A while later
I woke up and I saw that it was now 8:57 am. I guess I fell asleep again, didn't I? I tried to get up this time, without waking Bill up, and went to shower. When I came out of the bathroom, I saw that Bill was still asleep. He was still in his boxers, so I'm guessing that he was asleep the whole night, and didn't change. I crept down the stairs to the kitchen and looked in the fridge. I saw we had enough ingredients to make pancakes and some sausages for everyone.
I had finished making the pancakes and was in the middle of making the sausages when Bill walked (fell) down the stairs. He calmly stumbled- I mean walked to the table and sat down. "Good morning Billa!" I said to him trying to test if he was awake. I had never seen him so tired before. And he was still in his boxers. I wonder if something's wrong…
Bill POV
I woke up later that morning, and saw that Yuki was gone. I got up tiredly and looked at the clock. It was 9:23 am and I felt to just crawl back under the sheets. I hadn't gotten much sleep because I kept thinking about the fact that Yuki and I would become mates on her eighteenth birthday. Don't get me wrong, I love her, and would die if I couldn't be with her, but I am a little scared that about the fact that I would become the king of vampires, and I don't know the full extent of my power, so what if I hurt Yuki after I get my power? I don't know what I would do with myself if that happened.
Then my nose picked up a scent. Breakfast! I let my nose take control and I was guided down the stairs and into the kitchen. I sat at the table and I thought I heard Yuki say good morning, but I was too tired to hear. I almost fell asleep again when I heard the pan stop sizzling. I guess she had finished making the food.
I felt something on my lap and I opened my eyes enough to see a pair of shining dark, almost black, eyes staring into mine. I knew those eyes without having a second thought. Yuki was sitting on my lap. "Billa, what's wrong? You look a little tired." She asked me looking a little bit worried. "Nothing's wrong! What makes you say that?" "Well… you practically fell down the stairs, and … well… you're still in your boxers." I looked down and saw that she was right. She seemed to have sensed what I was about to do and jumped off, because I flew off my chair and ran up the stairs. I was originally half awake, but now I was wide awake.
I found my sweat pants and my white shirt that I slept in and walked back down the stairs to the kitchen as people started to fall out of their beds. I started to eat and they all came down the stairs. Tom looked at the clock and noticed that it was now 9:48 am. He looked at Yuki and said, "Up a little late, aren't we Yuki?" In a suggestive voice. She just shot him a death glare and continued eating her food. He sat beside me and looked at my face, "Bill, bro, you look like crap! Did you get any sleep?" I had to fight the urge to stab him with my fork. I only nodded my head and continued eating. He shrugged and started to eat with everyone else.
After we had all eaten I had gotten up and said to them, "Why don't we have a battle of the bands today?" They looked at me puzzled for a moment and I explained, "We could invite that boy Evan over and we could have a little competition. Shock! Sound against Tokio Hotel. Arianna could be the judge. What do you say?" They thought for a moment and then Roxy said, "Well, it's not a bad idea… yeah, let's do it! Hey, Yuki, call up Evan and see if he wants to do it. Let's say, four o'clock in the basement." She nodded and picked up the phone to call the boy. After a few moments he answered and she asked him. After a couple more seconds she smiled and said a quick, "Alright, see you then!" and hung up. She turned to us and gave the thumbs up, "We are good to go!"
I thought for a moment. I needed to come up with some rules so that it was fair. "Ok, the rules are that there will be no trash talking about the other band and that it most be an original song composed by the band that performs it, no cover songs. Also, we need to establish that the judge can NOT be bribed by the contestants *cough* *cough* Tom *cough* *cough* sorry, I had a little tickle in my throat. Does that seem fair so far?" Everyone nodded and it was decided. "Good, now prepare yourselves," I looked at the clock. It was already 11:39! "We have about five hours and twenty minutes to get ready!" We all separated to get ready for the battle of the bands. This was going to be interesting…
Well, I am going to end the chapter here for now. Great! So now I have to come up with a song for the next chapter… brilliant! Especially since I have writer's block *sigh* well, at least it can't get worse than that (for a writer). I will try my best! Wish me luck!
