Hahaha yeah Peter does look like Russell Brand in costume. I'm glad you liked the last chapter! Although I prefer the original Peter Vincent, David Tennant had me in stitches. Ah, I love Peter and Ginger's 'complicated' relationship...you know those two were made for each other! Enjoy!
"What would you two gents like to know?" Peter asked, pouring some Midori in a glass chalice filled with ice "Can I get you guys anything to drink?"
"No thanks" Ed said, shaking his head as he took a notepad out of his pocket "I'd like to know the basics on how to kill a vampire"
Peter sauntered over to his chair, clutching his crotch roughly in the leather pants he wore before sinking down into it. He took a big sip of the Midori before facing Ed and Charley.
"How to kill a vampire?" he scoffed, taking his wig off before taking off the fake goatee and eye piercing "Who the hell asks a shit question like that?"
"We're separating myth from fact" Charley cut in, trying to help Ed out as Peter took another sip of Midori. "We know all the basics but want the more complicated facts...you are known as the vampire expert"
"Wait a minute" Peter exclaimed, frowning as he set the chalice down "Do you two blokes honestly think I hang out with the fuckin' Easter Bunny and everything else mythical to know as much as you think I know? Get the fuck out!"
"Wait" Ed pleaded, taking some photographs out of his messenger bag "Mr. Vincent, please look at these pictures. We really need your help...there's a vampire living in our neighbourhood"
"Just as I thought" Peter huffed, rolling his eyes in irritation as he sipped the Midori "A couple of high school boys. GINGER! GINGER!"
"Please, Mr. Vincent" Ed pleaded, handing him the photographs "At least look at these. I'll leave them here for you"
"You guys are nutters" Peter said sharply, standing up angrily "I want you to leave my apartment now. Get the fuck out!"
Ginger walked into the room with a scowl on her face.
"Ginger" Peter commanded, motioning for the boys to leave "Show these nutters out. I have nothing more to say to them!"
Charley and Ed stood and dejectedly walked up to Ginger, who clucked her tongue in sympathy for them.
Ed opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by Peter, who coldly said "Good day, gents" as he raised the chalice.
Both boys followed Ginger out of the room, disappointed in their visit with Peter...
... "Well that was a waste of time" Charley remarked, shaking his head as he and Ed stood in the elevator "That Peter Vincent is nothing but a drunken fake"
"Don't worry" Ed replied quickly, taking out his cellular phone "There's always plan B"
"And what is this plan B?" Charley demanded impatiently, glaring at Ed.
"We go in to the vampire's house and kill him ourselves"
"Yeah, like that's gonna work" Charley said sarcastically, rolling his eyes "Jerry will always be expecting us. I had to promise not to go to his house so that he wouldn't hurt Lily. Brilliant move, genius"
"Have you forgotten what I said earlier?" Ed huffed, irritated by Charley "She's been turned by now! Get with the program!"
"Fuck you, Evil!" Charley exclaimed angrily, shoving Ed "If you hadn't been snooping around and shit, maybe Adam and Lily would be safe and sound. Do you realize what you caused?"
"Fuck you, Brewster!" Ed shot back "It's your fault just as much as it is mine. You could have ignored Lily and dragged her out of there when you had the chance instead of running out of there like a bitch!"
Ed had little time to react as Charley's fist connected with his nose.
"What the fuck, Brewster?" Ed screamed, holding his bloody nose "You broke it!"
"Lily sacrificed her life so that mom, Doris and I could live" Charley hissed, shoving Ed into the glass as the elevator reached the lobby "That's what real friends do. Real friends don't let other friends get caught up in stupid schemes and suspicions like you did with Adam. Just be glad Peter Vincent didn't call security on us or you'd be in deeper shit right now"
"If you're such a good friend, then why did you ditch me in the first place?" Ed demanded as they walked into the lobby "What did I do to deserve that?"
"You're obsessed with this supernatural shit" Charley said after a brief silence "Yeah the videos of us in tights were fun but your obsession grew until you turned into this paranoid freak. Even before Jerry moved into the neighbourhood, you were obsessed with aliens and were worried about being abducted. And before that, you thought zombies roamed the desert after we watched Resident Evil: Apocalypse. You need help, Evil and lots of it!"
With that, Charley stormed off, leaving Ed to tend to his broken nose...
... Later on that evening, Charley arrived home...still angry at Ed for putting him in the awkward position with Peter Vincent...the worst part about it was that he cut his afternoon classes to go along with Ed. He knew his mom would kill him if she found out.
As he approached his driveway, he noticed with relief that his mom's van wasn't parked there. She obviously hadn't arrived home yet from work.
In fact, he was so focused on his relief that he didn't notice Lily standing beside him on the sidewalk.
"Hello, Charley" she greeted him, making him jump out of his skin.
"L...Lil...Lily?" he stammered, not believing his eyes "Is that you?"
Lily stepped into the lamplight, revealing her changed appearance. Charley couldn't help but notice how beautiful she looked.
"The one and only" she replied, with quiet amusement in her voice "How have you been?"
"I've been good" he said, relieved to see her after all this time. He leaned in to give her a hug. "Thank you for saving our lives"
"It was nothing, Charley" Lily said, waving off his thanks before returning the hug "That's what friends are for, right?"
"Yeah" He agreed meekly.
"I know you're wondering what happened to me" she explained, ruffling the teen's hair "I just want you to know that I'm okay. Jerry and I have been seeing each other since that night but he's been a really good boy."
"How can you still be around him?" Charley demanded, edging away from her quickly "He's a monster!"
"Now, now" Lily clucked her tongue in disapproval "That's not a very nice thing to say, Charley. I hope you are still going to keep your promise that you won't disturb him"
"Why do you ask that?" Charley asked, frowning in confusion at her request "You're not in danger are you?"
"On the contrary" Lily laughed, demurely covering her mouth with the back of her hand "He's treated me very well"
"Then why ask me to keep my promise?" Charley demanded, still confused.
Lily smiled at him suddenly, revealing her fangs. Charley's eyes went wide in shock.
"Because you'll have to deal with the both of us" Lily hissed, flashing him another toothy grin before backing away "Remember your promise"
With that, she disappeared from his sight. Charley stood there like a deer in headlights before regaining his composure and rushing into his house...
... "There you are" Jerry murmured, meeting Lily at the door as she walked in "I was wondering where you were"
"I was just outside, lover" Lily replied shrugging as he encircled her in his arms "I went to my house to check my messages. I then saw Charley arriving home and decided to have a chat with him"
"How is Charley?" Jerry inquired, nibbling at her ear "Is he being a good boy like you told me he was?"
"Of course" Lily giggled, remembering the look of fear and surprise on Charley's face "I think I scared the dear boy to death"
"Now I would have loved to see that" Jerry exclaimed, laughing as he pulled away "Did he whimper like a little girl?"
"Nah, he just stood there stupidly...in disbelief, I think" Lily answered back, laughing evilly "He then ran into his house with his tail tucked between his legs"
"My, my, Lily" Jerry murmured, taking her hand and leading her towards the living room "You've turned into quite the evil vixen. I think I like this new you better than the old one. You're so much fun!"
"You know it" Lily murmured seductively, grabbing his shirt and yanking him close for a deep kiss.
Jerry eagerly obliged, running his fingers through her hair and grabbing it tightly as their mouths battled for sensual dominance. He then backed her into the wall, pressing into her as his free hand caged her in place.
"Sweet Lily" he breathed, pulling his head away a short distance so that his breath caressed her face "You've also become quite insatiable. I don't think I will ever be able to stay away from you"
"Now why would you want to do that?" Lily murmured, brushing his lips with her fingertips "I thought I had you all to myself"
A slight chuckle escaped Jerry's lips before he leaned in to kiss her again.
"You always will, my dark princess"...
