Chapter 8:
"A-Ashlee…" Vlad pulled away, looking shyly at the girl.
Silence.
"Are you o-okay..?"
Silence.
"Ash-"
"Vlad, I'm going to get us into so much trouble." she smirked, pressing her lips to his.
Silence. Silence. Peaceful, peaceful silen-
"Jesus Christ, Vlad, is that you?!"
The two turned to see Henry standing near the beach towels, his jaw almost touching the ground.
"Uh…" Vlad drew a blank.
"What have I seriously missed?! I leave for like 20 freaking minutes you two are making out in the freaking river! Why the hell am I the last one to know these things?!"
And, why exactly is he mad…?
"I, uh, well…"
"Seriously, I'm you best friend!"
"Henry, I-"
"You need to tell me these things!"
" I didn't-"
"I mean, c'mon!"
"I just-"
"What the hell, Vlad! What. The. Hell!"
"Can I-"
"Why? WHY?!"
"Seriously!"
"Could I really-"
"Never mind. I don't care. I'm leaving."
He left, leaving both the vampire and the werewolf extremely confused.
Silence.
Silence.
Silence.
"I'm…going to find out what up with him." Vlad stated.
"Very grand idea. Very grand indeed." Ashlee nodded.
Slowly, Vlad walked out of the water and grabbed a towel to catch up with the extremely confusing and rather upset Henry.
"Henry, Henry!"
Henry turned and saw his friend running at him.
"What."
"Please, listen!"
"What." Henry crossed his arms.
"What is you problem?! You know for a fact I've been crushing on her! I've had every right to kiss her!"
"No. You didn't."
"Why not?!"
"Because, I like her too!"
Silence.
Silence.
"What…?"
Henry groaned and ran his finger through his hair. "I DON'T KNOW! I've never met a girl like her! She actually has a personality! Unlike most girls I've met, she actually can have an intelligent conversation! I just…want her."
"Want her? Want her?! You don't want anything! You just…Argh! I can't even think of a word to describe you!" he hung his head, sighing.
Silence.
Silence.
Silence.
"I'm sorry, man…"
Silence.
"I really don't want to it's just…"
Silence.
"Please, Vlad, don't hate me."
Silence.
"Vlad…?"
Vlad lifted his head and gave Henry a death glare. "Really? Every girl I like you have to take from me? Everyone?!"
Silence.
"Well, I like her, and she likes me, so it's bit hard for you to take her from me. I'd like to see you try."
Silence.
Vlad growled off. "I'm off to back to Ashlee, and I am going to make out with her, and you can go off and do whatever, and I. Could. Care. Less!"
Silence.
Silence.
The vampire walked the way he came, mumbling profanities under his breath.
Silence.
Silence.
Silence.
Silence…
"The human boy likes her? Well, that's quite the change of pace." Salem smiled, balancing on the tip of a tree branch on one foot.
"Really?" Judas grumbled, his face planted in the ground.
"Yep." Salem jumped from one branch to another.
"Salem, what are you doing exactly?"
"I'm…jumping."
Judas lifted his head, and narrowed his tired sullen eyes. "Jumping?"
Salem regained balance, and asked, "Do you think the whole 'if a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound' thing makes any sense?"
Judas raised an eyebrow, shrugging.
Salem shrugged, and jumped off the branch. He landed almost silently, and kick the trunk of the tree that he was standing in.
Ashlee came out from under the water and looked around.
"Did something just fall?"
Yay! Chapter Eight! My favorite number! Fantastic!
Anyway, I personally like this chapter, and I really wanted to include the tree joke. So, yeah. Have fun!
Sorry. It's short. Really short. I'm not in the mood to write long things lately...
