I like reviews a lot, some more would be appreciated, and if there's anything wrong or crap please please please tell me! OOOHH long-ish one. *Btw just incase anyone doesn't know Aoife is pronounced Ee-fa* LY all xxxx
'D'ya think she's gonna be okay?' I heard Lily whisper
'Well he's a jerk so I hope the universe has made some kind of error that it's gonna fix some time in the very near future!' I heard Sam whisper-shout back
I opened my eyes slowly to see them both look at me with worried expressions on they're faces.
'Hey hunny! Are you okay?' Sam asked.
I tried to sit up but I couldn't move, all my muscles were stiff and ached!
'I'm sore' I managed to croak out before I burst into tears. I honestly had no clue as to why I was crying. I very rarely ever cried, so Sam and Lily knew how bad this was.
In an instant they both enveloped me in a hug and crawled under the blankets with me and cuddled.
I had just opened my mouth to say something when the door burst open and Ash was standing there holding a tray of food.
'Le Petite Dejeuner is served Madame… oh, sorry I didn't mean to interrupt' he said with a sheepish grin 'are you okay Aoife?'
I smiled up at him, he really did seem like a lovely guy.
'Yeah I'm fine thanks, sorry am I taking over your room?' I asked him.
'Nope, this is your room now, but mine is next door to the left incase you get lost' he said with a wink.
I blushed furiously and Sam fired a pillow at him.
'What if your Mary-Lynette heard you say that?' She asked.
Great he had a soulmate too. What's this world coming too?
'Yeah well she aint here is she? She's away far away in some hick town and I'm I desperate flirt. It's just a joke anyway' he said with a laugh, then handed me my tray of breakfast.
I thanked him then asked,
'Was it you who took me here?'
I don't know why, but I was hoping the answer was no. I hoped it was Chris.
'Yeah, I found you half passed out in the hallway and Thierry had already given you this room, so I just carried you here'
'Thanks. Um who's Thierry?' I asked
As if right on cue another gorgeous blonde guy swooped into the room. This guy looked maybe seventeen but his eyes were ageless. Almost like Quinn's but this guys looked older.
'I'm Thierry' he said in a soft voice 'Pleasure to meet you Miss Johnston.'
'Um hello, thank you for giving me the bed, and stuff' I replied shyly.
'It's no bother at all. Now as I have heard no one has yet explained the situation to you, am I correct?' he inquired
'Pretty much. I know I'm that guy Chris' soulmate. And I think I know what that means, kinda hoping I'm wrong though. He doesn't seem too happy about it, and I'm not sure if I wanna be a vampire.
'Oh yeah and I know they pretty much exist. That one was a shocker make no mistake. I'm not sure why I'm here or what's going to happen to me, but these would be comforting to know to be honest.'
I finished my little rant breathless and blushing furiously.
He sat on the end of my bed with a small smile.
'Soulmates are people the Universe has joined together, for reasons no one is entirely sure of, but once you find yours, most people tend to feel complete. This is part of the soulmate principal.
'Sometimes it doesn't always work out though, and the people are better off apart but this is a very rare occasion'
'Yeah like mine' Ash cut in, with a bitter tone to his voice.
'She's waiting on you Ash, be patient,
Thierry replied with a small smile, still looking at me.
'Basically there is a sort of society filled with vampires, witches etcetera, etcetera, called the Night World. However they're laws are very strict.
'No telling humans about us, and no falling in love with them either. As you can see this is a bit of a predicament were in as the universe has decided to take a funny turn. Anyway, this place your in is a part of Circle Daybreak. It's basically a safe place were the enforcers of the Night World law can't touch us.
'We have a good few young couples who are in the same position as you staying here with us, as we try to figure out how to sort everything out. If you decide to stay you will be meeting them shortly' he concluded.
'I can leave?' I asked puzzled.
'Of course you can! No one intends to keep you here by force, and no one is going to force you to be a vampire or anything like that.
'However I must warn you the penalty for even knowing about the Night World is death. If you were to leave and get caught, we would try our best but there is no guarantee we would be able to protect you.
'I'm also not sure if your friends will accompany you, or if Chris would be so quick to let you leave. Or Ash for that matter' he said with a small laugh.
'Umm,.. I'm not actually sure.' I said softly.
Then Chris walked in. He stared at us all for a moment.
'Sorry. I was looking for Thierry. I didn't realise this was your room.' he said not actually looking at me, then he turned to walk back out.
'Hold on a second Chris' Thierry said looking round at him
'Perhaps you may be able to help Aoife with her decision to stay?'
Chris looked back around at him and said,
'How can I help?'
'Would you prefer her to stay?' Thierry enquired.
'Oh Jesus! Don't!' I interjected, 'It's not his decision. He couldn't care less, and his opinion wouldn't sway me, for the moment I live only for these two' I said, jerking my thumbs at Sam and Lily.
'If they stay so do I' I concluded.
Chris turned to Thierry and said,
'If I am no longer needed may I please be excused?'
'Stay for a moment, I will be with you then. Aoife I am prepared to give you as much time as you like, if you would rather do it now, though, I will hear you out.'
Sam turned to me with tear-filled eyes,
'I can't leave him' she whispered 'but I cant leave you two either. This is such a mess!'
I laughed and pulled her into a hug.
'Well I have to stay and meet this guy and see if he's good enough for you then don't I?' I said 'Lils how's that sittin with you?'
'Well the only reason I'm here is for you guys so I suppose I'm staying too' she said with a smile.
'Oh, By the way Lily, Ollie's looking for you' Chris cut in.
'He is?!' she practically shouted, jumping out of the bed.
'Yeah, I think he's in the garden'
'Oh…Well…I, um, may go see what he wants' she said sheepishly running out of the room while fixing her hair.
'So your staying?' Thierry asked.
'Looks like it' I replied with a small smile in Chris' direction.
'Good good, well this shall be your permanent room, feel free to walk around as much as you like. But if you leave the grounds make sure you tell someone. I shall see you later.'
Thierry walked out, but Chris stood there staring out of my window at nothing. He looked like he was in a trance.
I smiled mischievously and my pillow whacked him in the face. Totally thrown of balance, he fell onto the floor, onto his (very nice) ass.
His lips formed an 'o' shape as he sat up disorientated then looked over at me and glared, though I could tell he was trying not to smile.
Sam and Ash were rolling about the floor laughing.
Without so much as a word and with a curt nod, Chris stalked out of my room just before I burst into hysterics.
The three of us must have laughed for a half an hour before there was a slight knock on my door. I looked up to see the red haired guy standing there. Sam's soulmate.
'Err,.. Hello. I heard you were looking for me?' he said in a quiet voice.
Sam beamed at him then got up and hugged him.
'I wasn't! who told you that?' she asked in a voice that was a pitch higher than her normal voice.
The red haired guy laughed and gently kissed the tip of her nose.
'Not you love. Your friend' he replied.
Sam scowled then hit him on the arm,
'Don't call me love, Alex!' she scolded him, her voice going back to it's normal pitch, while he mock rubbed his 'sore' arm and pouted.
They seemed to be completely oblivious to me and Ash, who hadn't yet left the room to gag, miraculously.
The got into a full scale mock argument, then very nearly began to shag on my bedroom floor before I finally began yelling.
'Right! Stop! Your perfect together. I approve! Go away!' I screamed at the top of my voice.
Alex looked up with lust filled eyes
'Chris mentioned that you were looking for me though' he said in a husky voice, while he was still holding Sam.
'He did huh? Yeah well now I'm telling you both to go away. I needed to approve. I approve. I like my carpet!'
I glanced over at Ash who was laughing yet again, holding his sides with tears coming down his red face.
I glared at him and he stopped as Alex and Sam both went bright red from embarrassment then nodded slightly before skipping out of my room.
I looked up at Ash who was grinning at me like the Cheshire cat. I went to get up and use the bathroom, when I felt something press against my knee.
I looked down to see my now ruined breakfast still sitting on my knee and my tummy growled loudly.
Ash looked at me and smiled before lifting it off me, taking my hand and leading me away, while we both still giggled.
