Chapter 6: Disaster

The morning as usual was very turtle like. Yeah, I describe my days to my favorite reptile normally. Deja vu yesterday. The day went smooth, the Halloween ball was nearing and I was excited. I already knew what I was going to be! The only bad thing that happened today was I got a D on my Calculus test, but who the Hell cares! Girls didn't bother me, Daniel wasn't in school today, and the twins appeared to be set into their place by acting like Tony's slaves today! All's well.

Now, my Auntie was brushing through my tangles. And it felt like a dragon bit their teeth onto my head and slowly started snagging the brown locks off. Personally, I was screaming out my favorite catch phrase when I'm in pain, "OWWWW MAAAMMMAAA!"

"Sorry, hun. You got some big ones here," She explained sheepishly. "Just be lucky we're letting you out late on a school night."

I smirked, knowing it took some time persuading Uncle Bobsicle, but quick as a flash for Auntie Dottie! "That's why you guys are the best Aunt and Uncle ever!"

"What did I tell you about being a suck up?"

"...It only works on Uncle Bobsicle and Tony..." I grumbled, rolling my eyes as the remaining tangles were free from restraint.

"That's right! Now, go suck up to your Uncle so he could buy me that new car I found in the catalog," She joked and pulled out a thin curler that's shaped like a tiny cone. It was suppose to give me bouncy ringlets like Heather's a.k.a Taylor Swift curls. It took 30 minutes to fully curl my long hair. The makeup was beautifully done, some thick eyeliner to make my eyes look glowing gold and green like a cat, light mascara, and she put on my lips glossy red lipstick. She said my blush was already naturally rosy, so she didn't bother for that. I had on pretty funeral red dress. The satin cloth was magnificent as my sleeves were in small puffs and the bottom flared out with a slight ruffled.

"Wow..." I breathed out as I checked over myself in the mirror.

"You look gorgeous, darling. Now, I packed pepper spray into your pur-"

"Auntie Dottie!" I whined, embarrassed by her protectiveness all of a sudden.

She rolled her eyes and handed me my black Coach purse. "Don't whine. That's there for your safety in case he tries to get jiggy with you."

"..'Jiggy'? Auntie this isn't the 60's! Who the crap says Jiggy today? Ugh! Weirdness." I laughed, pulling the bag over my shoulder and slipping my black flats on.

"Fine, sex."

"La la la la la! I'm not listening!" I poked a finger on both of my ears and looked away. I hated that word. It's so damn dirty! I shuddered as I brought all my supplies for the date into my bag. Phone, money, motorcycle liscence, and the pepper spray! All good to go. I snorted if my Auntie coincidentally got me garlic spray! Hahaha! Wouldn't that have worked better? My eyes ran down to the sunset outside. Cedric said he would be picking me up at the front door so he could meet my Auntie and Uncle.

"Whatever, get downstairs and drink some water. You look quite flushed." She pointed at my cheeks which I patted.

'They do feel warmer than usual...and my heart fucking pounding. Shit, I'm nervous!' I mentally groaned and walked out of the room, heading downstairs only to see Tony playing some video games. Well that's new.

"Hey, Tony!" I greeted, happily skipping over to him on the sofa and taking a seat. He paused the game and looked at me, his eyes widening.

"Hey- wow! You look pretty tonight, Saws!" His eyes fell upon my outfit.

"So you're saying I don't look pretty everyday?" I raised an eyebrow at him.

His face suddenly turned guilty, "No! No! That's not what I mean-"

"I'm kidding!" I defended then turned my head back to the game.

"So why so interested in playing your video games all of a sudden from San Diego?"

He sulked sadly, "Rudolph left."

I was taken back. I knew Rudolph left for a reason, not just because of Tony. But it wouldn't kill the little vampire to leave a note or at least say bye to Tony. "Awww, pumpkin, I think he left because his family might be worried. I mean, imagine if your parents found you missing for one night?"

"They'd call FBI and CIA.." He answered rather quickly. That was true, his parents are the over-exaggerating ones.

"Yeah, so it's not you. He needs to see them." I assured him and that's when Auntie Dottie and Uncle Bobsicle came down the stairs with some nice casual clothing. Just in time, I heard the doorbell ring.

"Oooh! Sawyer's boyfriend is here!" Tony teased and smirked at me.

"Ugh! Shhhuuutttt uuuupppp." I drawled, standing up to fetch the door. I opened it wide open, and saw a handsome young fellow dressed in a black dress coat, some nice blue jeans, and a white t-shirt underneath the dress coat. His hair was as shaggy as usual, black as the night sky, and his red eyes glowed brighter than usual. "H-hey."

"Hello and may I say, you do look incredibly striking tonight." He smiled a dazzling smile at me.

"Ahaha, thank you. You look rather dashing too, Mr. Harrison." I complimented back, he thanked me before I held an arm out inside. "Come in, my Auntie and Uncle want to meet you. Just don't smile, the fangs and you know..."

"Right."

I guided him inside, shutting the door close, I swore I could feel someone watching me from the distance in the woods, but as long as Cedric's near, I'll be safe...I hope. My Auntie Dottie and Uncle Bobsicle were politely standing beside the living room doorframe.

"Auntie Dottie, Uncle Bobsicle, this is Cedric." I awkwardly introduced myself.

"Pleasure to finally meet you, Cedric." She seemed...dazed somehow. What the fuck. You're married woman! Married I tell ya'!

"Pleasure is all mine, darling." He kissed the back of her hand lightly.

"Okay! Moving on! Here is my loving Uncle. Uncle B, this is Cedric." I smiled at him.

"Nice to finally meet you, son. Make sure you take good care of Sawyer on your date." Uncle Bobsicle warned. Cedric's eyes widened, probably from horror.

"I vow not to let anything happen to your lovely niece." Cedric raised a hand up.

'AWWW! He vowed! What a charming prince!' I dreamily exclaimed in my ear like a lone princess locked up in a tower.

"Good, my man. Hey...what's up with your eyes-"

"Oh! Look at the time! We must be off! C'mon, Cedric dear!" I cut off once I forgot about that...tiny little problem. I grabbed Cedric's stone chilled hand and dragged him outside. Tony already knew Cedric, but after last night, I had a feeling he'll stray away from him for a while. I shut the door quickly, walking down onto the driveway.

"You okay, love? You seem...bothered."

"I dunno, first off with that eyes thingy in there and now...somehow I feel like we're being watched." My face turned fearful slightly as my eyes ran across the deep, dangerous woods beside the manor. I heard a twig snap and Cedric's head perking up.

Suddenly, I heard a growl emit from Cedric and his eyes blazed in bloody fury.

3rd POV (before the date):

"Anna, what do you think?" Cedric presented his appearance to Anna.

She clapped joyfully and sighed, "Perfect! This date will ever be so romantic! The moonlight dancing in the sky, lullabying frogs and crickets, a beautiful location! I could feel the drama pouring out of it already!"

"You're such a drama queen." Rudolph mumbled from a far corner of the tomb.

"I still think this is a bad idea to court with a mortal, Cedric." Fredrick strictly reminded him. The others rolled their eyes, Freda starting to be annoyed by her husband's control.

"Darling, I think it will be absolutely marvelous! After all, you do not run Cedric's doings. He is not part of our family." Freda chuckled, rubbing a hand on her stressing husband's shoulder. "And Cedric, you're very handsome tonight."

"Thank you, Freda." He thanked before he bowed.

Then, Gregory came in grumbling curse words and deeply emoting. Once he noticed the eventful gathering, he became utterly confused. "What is going on?"

Everyone stayed silent, Cedric stepping up confidentally. Gregory hissed at him under his breath. The rebelious teenager waited for an answer, until finally Rudolph had giant outburst, "CEDRIC'S COURTING!"

"Rudolph!" Cedric growled at him, he shrugged and sunk back onto the wall.

Anna shook her head, Gregory staring at Cedric suspiciously. He couldn't even think it was...no..."Who is she?"

Again, no one muttered a word. Rudolph this time stayed silent unless he wanted his head to be broken off of it's old hinges. That's when Gregory started getting impatient.

"Well? Is anyone telling me who the Hell is it?" He asked, oblivious to the fact Cedric was standing right beside him and their vampiric hearing were highly sensitive. When the tall, well-dressed Vampire flinched as a ring rang in his ears, Gregory smirked.

Cedric took a deep breath, "Sawyer Thompson."

Gregory couldn't even believe the name he just said. It felt as if the tomb above him was about to collapse and there's no way out whatsoever. At the same time, a bile rose up to his neck in disgust and something...burning in his chest that related to jealousy.

'Why would I be jealous? That is upon the most disgusting, God awful thing he could do! I'm glad as shit I'm not Cedric.' Gregory shuddered at a disturbing image of Cedric and that bitch doing something intimate.

"Wow, Cedric. I knew you could go low, but not that deeply low." He teased him, walking away to sit on a stair step.

"Why you-"

"Don't." Fredrick set a hand on Cedric's shoulder to stop him from personally murdering the arrogant bloodsucker.

"You're such a sick prick, Gregory. I hope you rot in Hell." Cedric growled, turning away from the family and stalkng out of the tomb.

"I'm already in Hell!" Gregory called from the tomb. At least thought he was. Gregory stood up with a sinister idea up his sleeve.

"Where are you going?" Fredrick asked quickly and fearful he might do something to terrorize the poor girl and Cedric.

The son turned to him with a 'duh' face on. "Human hunting! It's pretty obvious it's my nightly routine."

"Liar, you already fed! You're going to ruin their picnic!" Anna accused furiously at him.

"I'm still hungry you dumb brat. Now leave me be."

Gregory left the tomb with a smirk and the family arguing if they should trust him or not.

They shouldn't have.

Sawyer's POV

"How did you get all of this food?" I asked amazingly as he pulled out a bunch of plates that had numerous amounts of choices on them.

"Just like how Rudolph has a human friend, I do too. His name is Maurice, he lives just a few miles out of Curloss," He smiled when I took the suran wrap off of a plate that had a pizza on it. I sunk my teeth into the soft, hot bread.

"Mmm..this is delicious! Ditto to Maurice," I spoke through my crowded mouth.

"Hahaha, 'ditto'?" Cedric asked confused by the modern grammar.

"Never mind- oh no! I forgot to bring something for you!" I groaned, remembering I had brought Cedric this really cool shell necklace down at the ocean shop this morning.

"Don't worry, you could give it to me when we get back to the house," He assured and tried to calm down my hyperventilation.

"I guess..." I was still feeling bad.

"How about this, I fly over to your house quickly and I am thinking it's in a green box?" He guessed as he stood up.

I nodded happily before he ran into the trees. I saw his figure fly into the sky. We were near a cliff right above the ocean, a white and red picnic blanket below me, and the very-well woven basket sitting at the side. The waves and wind made a really...light and serenity enviroment.

I heard a twig snap.

My head pivoted into the woods. "W-who's there?"

I got up on my feet just incase running was needed for these. Sadly, I was wearing flats that'll probably block my way of speed. Grreeaaatttt! I grabbed a long and thick loaf of bread. It wouldn't last long, but it's mass and thickness really helped for a good strengthening blow. I basically stood there paranoid and looking like some retarded chick.

"I'm giving you, 3 seconds to show yourself!" I warned, but I think my voice was shivering. How...never mind.

Suddenly, a tree right across from me started creaking. What the fuck! I shrieked as the tree lurched foward and started tipping at my side. I threw myself out of the way when the tree fell right onto the picnic blanket, all the food and romantic candle lights squished. Some of the meals with sauce in the squirted out from the collision and hit my in the face.

"Ew!" I wiped the tomato sauce off of my face in disgust.

A heart-rapiding, evil-filled, and devilish laugh was heard from where the tree had fallen. I glared and stared in disbelief at a young vampire I had grown to fully hate whom was standing beside where the tree bark would've been. I growled and poured out all the anger locked inside of me.

"WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?" I screeched.

He chuckled, stepping slowly his way towards me, each step more threatening than the rest. "Honey, there is nothing wrong with me, but I think there is something wrong with you."

"Me? Okay, sure, enlighten me on how I'm the damn loon here stupid-ass!" I flailed my arms around.

"I warned you, to watch your mouth. Slave." He sneered, my mouth widening as did my eyes.

Who the Hell are you calling slave bucko? I think not! I am not anyone slave, maid, nor worker because I have pride and independence. Well...we are in Scotland so why am I saying all this American freedon stuff.

"Ahaha, nawh, I ain't no ones slave, blood breath." I seethed and started walking away.

"I'm not done with you yet, you gruesome slut." He grabbed my arm and a wave of electricity shocked up my veins way more radiating than Cedric's. I bet he felt it too because he flinched his hand back and curiously glanced at it. "What the Hell was that?"

"Why would you care." I shrugged it off and started walking again.

"You're no fun-"

"Fun? Gregory, trying to kill me, isn't fun. Ruining my date with Cedric isn't fun. And bothering my fucking life isn't FUN!" I shrilled at him.

I could've sworn pure sadness flashed across his face when I said the last part, but he kept an angry face up. "I don't care, bitch. To me, it's fun. Whoever said it had to be for you, huh? You're so stupid sometimes. People like you don't deserve to live in this world."

He pushed me back with his hands, "H-hey, stop."

"My goodness you whore! Don't you see how much you're a burden to us!" He kept his tear-jerking words coming at me as were his pushes. I could feel the cliff coming below my feet.

"Stop it." I cried, my heart shattering into pieces.

"YOU'RE DUMB!" Push. "YOU'RE ARROGANT!" Push. "YOU'RE. WORTHLESS!"

Push.

I screamed when I tipped back and helplessly fell over. Gregory growled as I flew down the cliff. Before hitting the water, I saw Gregory's face express a look of realization until I was fully submerged by the deadly cold waves. Then. Black.

A/N: Short chappie =\ sorry guys. I'l make it longer the next one. Gregory became his bastardy self again, hahaha! But as you can see, he's expressing some other attitude other than hatred. The pure sadness part and the realization part was hinting a change in him. The sparks was just cheesy, but I decided to slip it in there. Impressive huh?
