Guys I made a mistake in the last chapter! Jess is only 19, and Emily is supposed to be 22...im so sorry about the mix up…I wouldn't have even noticed it unless elizi02 hadn't have pointed it out in her review….so I thank them for helping me realize the mix up.
Now on with the chapter
SPOV
Jess made me some eggs, bacon and toast for breakfast and talked about the other house residents the whole while. There were 2 boys and 3 girls including Jess and Emily, which I had come to find she was Jess's best friend and is also a Shaman. The other girls name is Sophie, She's a water half-demon, and I think Jess said was only 15. The guys were Mark and James. Mark is a vampire- which I must say is AWSOME!- and is 21, and James is a Agito, and 20.
So the 4 people I have to meet still I know everything about them already. Weird.
When Jess was done explaining her friends to me she asked me about my group. I told her about Derek and Dad first, then Chloe, and then Tori. Now that I was talking about them I found I realy missed them, well not dad cuz I was still royally pissed at him, but I missed the rest of them.
"Your brother and sister sound lovely. I cant wait to meet them," She said with a huge grin on her face as she turned around holding 2 plates full of food.
"Yea well don't hold your breath about meeting them to soon, I ran away from the hotel and took there only way to find where I was going with me." I pulled the list out of my pocket and showed it to her. She took it and studied it, then handed it back to me.
"Why on earth would you run away? Your family sounds wonderful…"
"You say that till you meet them. My dad was lying to me my whole life, and he didn't even tell me about my sister. Chloe was the one that told us about it, and that was only the other night. I confronted him about it last night just before I went to bed, and we ended up getting into a really big fight and the last thin I said to him was that I hated him and ran out of our hotel room before he could say anything else." I looked away so she wouldn't see how ashamed I was by how I acted. My dad was probably happy to get rid of me. I had thrown a temper-tantrum! Wow…maybe me and Tori are more closely related then I had originally thought.
I hadn't noticed I was crying until I felt someone wipe a few tears away from my cheeks. I turn to look at Jess and see sympathy in her eyes. "Simon…why are you crying?" I didn't say anything, and tried to turn my head back to the ground, but she had a tight hold on my chin and forced me to look at her. Her eyes changed as they looked into mine. They went from there normal amber to a fiery brown that lit up her whole face. I really looked at her for the first time. Her brown hair was to her waist and wavy, her face the shape of a heart, she had a small diamonded on her nose which I presumed was a nose ring. Her lips were a nice red in contrast with her tanned skin. She looked to be about 2 inch's shorter than me, but I hadn't noticed before now.
I was so captivated with her face that I didn't notice the movement on the other side of the room until Jess started to giggle. I turned around to see that the other girls and one of the guys had come into the kitchen and were staring at the back of my head, well now my face, but they had been staring at the back of my head.
"Everybody, this is Simon Bae. He showed up here this morning so I went out to great him. He is a…well how about he introduces himself…?" She released her hold on my chin so I could turn around completely at see the 3 people behind me. The one girl looked like she was abut ready to chop my head off, but the other looked familiar. I didn't know where I knew her from but I knew I had seen her somewhere.
"Well as Jess has said my name is Simon, im 16 and a Sorcerer." I said kinda awkwardly. The guy nodded his head in acknowledgment. He had black hair that covered his left eye and was about 6 foot. From wher I was I could faintly see the red tinge to his eyes.
"Hello Simon, my name is Mark. I am 21 and a Vampire. There is no need to be afraid of me. I have a stick diet of donated blood. Im not a 'Vegetarian' but I don't go out and hunt poor humans. I believe that it is revolting and cruel to use them like that." He stepped forward and held his hand out towards me. I just looked at it for a moment, but shook it after a slight delay. Mark didn't seem to notice, or he understood.
"Its nice to meet you Mark. Im not afraid of Vampires, even though you are the first one that I have ever met. I think it would be awesome to be a Vampire. Just seems really cool.." I trailed off when I heard someone giggle again. I looked at the girls in front of me and saw that the sorter one was laughing at me. She had Shoulder length blond hair with blue streaks going through it, and her eyes were bigger than Chloe's could ever be. She looked like she belonged in one of my magna comics.
"Hi. My name is Sophie and im 15. Im a half-water-demon, and the only demon in the area…" She trailed off. I got a funny feeling about her, but she seemed nice enough.
"Hi Sophie."
"And this here is Emily…she is the oldest that lives in the house." Sopjie pointed to the girl behind her. She was huge! Well not fat, but really tall. I think she was almost as tall as Derek was actually and he's 6'6. She had black hair that looked like it reached halfway down her back, and her eyes were a green that could put Derek to shame.
"Yes. My name is Emily, im 22 and a Shaman. Yes I know that I am tall, but my father was part werewolf so I have the height and build of one but I cant transform." Holy shit! That is cool!
"Holy crap! That's is awesome! My brothers a werewolf, and he can already transform and he's only 17..." Talking about Derek made me feel kind of empty. I missed him the most I think. We had been inseparable since we had gotten sent to Lyle House all those months ago.
"Oh really? And why would it be that you are here by your self and not with him?"
"I ran away after a fight with my dad…" I looked down feeling embarrassed.
"Oh well boo-hoo for you. I havn't seen my parents since I was 11 but do you hear me running away from my problems? No. So shut the fu-" She was cut off by Jess.
"Emily! Be nice to our guest! He has been threw a lot, just as you have. He was part of the Genesis II project." She looked at me then. " Simon, Emily was part of Genesis I. She was the only one to make it out. She was the only one that was successful enough to be released for any amount of time." I knew all about the Genesis I project, or at least all the stuff that Chloe had told me from when that ghost kid and his uncle had attacked her at the Safe house.
I looked back at Emily and she had a sad smile on her face and a distant look in her eyes.
"Where's James? He should be up by now." Jess got my attention back form Emily.
"He didn't get up when I told him to come and get breakfast. Just grumbled something about 'need more sleep…stayed up till…' He didn't even finish before he passed out again." Mark started to chuckle and I couldn't help but join in.
"Oh…well he needs to get his but out of bed soon. I have a feeling that there will be more people here by about noon so we need to get Simon situated in yours or his room Mark before they get here. If you would please show Simon the rest of the house while I clean up a little for the company." Was the last thing she said before she turned back to the sink and started the water.
"Come on Simon, ill show you the rest of the house and then you can meet the lazy ass who stayed up all night doing god knows what." and with that we were off.
Mark showed me the library first, it was just down the hall from the kitchen. Then he showed me the living room which had ample space from almost anything. We reached the stairs and he headed down, so I followed.
When we reached the bottom it was dark but Mark quickly found the light switch and flipped it. Ho-ly crap! The basement was filled with musical instruments! There were drums, Guitars(acoustic, bass, and electric) and every other kind I could think of. I ran over to the drums, grabbed the sticks and stared a beat…it had been forever since I had gotten to use a drum set! I used to have one at the one house we stayed at a few years ago, but when we had to leave, I couldn't bring it with us.
"Wow…you have some skills Simon." Mark said as he grabbed a bass and started with the same beat as me. We were playing 'If you cant live without me then why arent you dead yet' by Mayday Parade(Sorry…I love that song!)
"Holy crap! You guys are awesome!" Sophie squealed as she ran in and grabbed the mic and started singing from the chorus
What's holding me back is the thought of time we never had
My world's hanging by three words that I can't bear to say
When you hear this chorus
Do you miss the way the world was spinning for us?
Do you hurt the way that I do?
After all this time you leave me broken
This song is every word I left unspoken
When you hear this, girl, I'm hoping that you think of us
When you hear this chorus
Do you miss the way the world was spinning for us?
Do you hurt the way that I do?
After all this time you leave me broken
This song is every word I left unspoken
When you hear this, girl, I'm hoping that you think of us
That you think of us
Baby, I sorely miss the vibrant gleam that's in your eyes
When we finished the song I saw Emily, Jess, and who I presumed was James standing in the doorway clapping for us.
"Wow guys. That was amazing! I loved it!" Jess squealed just as Sophie had, but instead she ran over to me and pulled me into a tight hug. I didn't respond for a second but then wrapped my arms around her back and gave her a tight hug back.
"Thanks Jess. But wheres my hug? I showed him the set…" Mark had a puppy dog look on his face, so Jess walked over to him and gave him a small hug.
"Well we had better go and finish the tour huh? Its almost 11 and you have only seen half of the house." Mark laughed as he stood up and started walking out the door, and I quickly followed after him back up the stairs.
