Okay, so you know the drill, the boys and place aren't mine blah blah blah, Kitty and the plot/story are mine blah blah blah blah blah haha :)
Chapter 8
"Send him in Anne." I called, wondering who would visit me in the middle of the day. I was surprised to see Edgar Frog come on into my room. He looked around, seeing the packed bags, and I could see a look of immediate sadness in his eyes.
"Where are you going?" He said worriedly, looking from me to the bags, then back to me, obviously unhappy.
"I've found a new home, and so I'm moving in tonight." Seeing the question in his eyes, I continued, "You can find a home on your own and leave the orphanage when you're fifteen if you are not adopted by then."
"Oh. Where are you moving?" He said, trying to hide the disappointment behind his eyes.
"A, uh, very good guy friend and his brothers place. I'm staying in town though." I replied, trying to sound casual. I shouldn't have added the word guy or said anything about brothers.
"So you have a boyfriend and you're moving in with him?" He looked down, taking in his assumption.
"Kind of, it's...difficult." I felt bad, knowing he obviously had a crush on me. Crush, that's the key word here.
"Where are you moving to?" He asked, trying to sound nonchalant, but failing.
I wondered if I should tell him, but worried he might try to follow me there. He wouldn't believe me anyways though.
"Well, um, it's down at Hudson's Bluff. There's a staircase you follow to the entrance." I realized with the look on his face that I had given away too much.
"That's a giant cliff all around. You can't be talking about the old crashed hotel...can you?" He looked desperate for answers.
"Actually, yes." I replied quietly. He already knew that there was nothing else out there. What else could I have said?
"You can come live with Alan and me if you have no where else to go. We have an extra bedroom. Our parents won't mind!" He insisted in his gruff voice. I was absolutely stunned at the seriousness in his eyes.
"I, I don't know what to say Edgar. I can't. It's too complicated to explain, but I know I can't." I didn't know what to say. This can't be real!
"No. I won't let them take you away!" He said, laying a hand on my shoulder. Why is he acting so protective?
"What's wrong? I want to go, Edgar. Don't worry, I can take care of myself." I said, a little angry. He has no right to tell me what to do! I barely know him!
"No." He had barely uttered the word when he pressure pointed my neck. I fell unconscious almost instantaneous. The last thing I remember was thinking 'I will never love Edgar Frog."
"What was I supposed to do? Let her go off and live with a bunch of guys who she probably hasn't known for even a week?" I heard the gruff voice of Edgar whisper. I recognized the next, quieter voice as Alan.
"Yes! It was her decision, not yours! You're not her boyfriend!" He defended.
"Yet! If I convince her to believe us, then I know I could win her over and grab another hunter!" I heard Edgar say. Hunter? What kinda hunting is he talking about? Surely they don't go out and hunt deer and stuff? Believe about what?
"It doesn't matter! She'll never trust or believe us now!" Alan said. I could tell that they weren't too far across the room where ever we were.
"You're right about that Alan." I said, finally opening my eyes and sitting up. We were in a small room that I could see through an open door was adjoining the comic book shop. It was littered with candy wrappers, and had boxes sitting around, probably full of new comics.
"How do you feel? It isn't the best experience to be pressure pointed like that." Alan asked, rubbing my neck gently where Edgar had knocked me out previously.
"Fine. What time is it?" I asked, suddenly worried. What if Marko came by and thinks I abandoned him? We were supposed to meet up at seven thirty. Anne will tell him about Edgar...I hope.
"Seven fifty. Why?" Edgar replied, looking to the ground.
"Fuck! I was supposed to meet up with Mar..with him at seven thirty at the orphanage. You're a real piece of shit Edgar." I said, walking out of the shop and down the way.
"I'm sorry Kitty!" I heard Edgar call after me.
I was walking fast, making a clearing through the hundreds of people in my way. I was so upset. I looked down at my feet as I walked. What if Marko takes it the wrong way? I had barely processed this thought when I ran in to someone and fell back on my butt.
The second I went to apologize, I was swept off my feet into a bear hug.
"We've been looking everywhere for you Mouse!" I recognized the nickname I had been dubbed with and saw Paul, grinning down at me.
"I was just...catching up with some friends and lost track of time. I'm really sorry." I looked around for the other boys. After just a second, I saw a very relieved looking Marko come practically running over to us. I was quickly picked up into a very loving hug. It was nothing like the brotherly hug Paul had given me.
"You had me scared shitless!" Marko scolded, holding me at arms length to examine my entirety.
"Well, see you've found the little booger." Said David, walking towards us accompanied by Dwayne. Jeez, they need a whole load of chill pills!
"Thankfully, she wasn't harmed. Lets go back home now. We can pick up her bags later." Marko said, putting his arm firmly around my waist and pulling me along with the rest of them. How are we going to pick up my bags on motorcycles? I wondered. I had only pack a few outfits and pajamas in one, and my 'personal' things in the other, but still.
We soon hit the beach, which confused me, seeing how there were no bikes in sight.
"Where are the bikes?" I asked, very confused.
"Vampires don't need motorbikes or cars to transport themselves, Kitty. We can fly." David smirked.
"Oh great, fairy princess vampires." I joked.
"Hold on tight Kitten." Marko said, picking me up. As promised, we all shot up into the air within the blink of an eye. I held on for dear life, not daring to look down. I held on like a baby sloth to Marko as he flew, sort of like Superman, to Hudson's Bluff.
"The time has come, for you to become one of us, Kitty." David announced as we all landed (or was set) down in the cave. Looking around, I noticed that the whole cave had been cleaned, but only one man stood there other than the boys and me.
They said there would be more people here! The only other person here is Max! Maybe it was a cover up so I could be with more humans last night.
"Hello, little one." I heard Max say across the room. I had been in thought, so I jumped about a foot in the air.
"Little jumpy aren't you, Mouse?" Paul teased. I punched him in the arm, and turned back towards the man.
"Hi." My voice was small, yet clear.
"I hope you are ready." He continued, walking along the cave walls.
"Ready as I'll ever be." I said. The butterfly's began to fly in my stomach.
"First off, the ceremony is not allowed to be held until you have had at least five minutes to sit and truly think about this. Not a vampire rule, just my policy." Max said.
Well, hope ya'll are excited! I love cliffhangers! Read and review please! Love ya'll!
