Elijah's body lay on the table in front, shrouded in flame. I watched as the flames devoured his body. I turned and buried my face in Nik's shoulder. I could feel him shaking.
We turned and walked in the house and into the living room with everyone else. I noticed Katerina was there too. Haylie was there on the chair. A sudden wave of anger washed over me. I let out a growl at the same time as Nik. He was looking at Katerina. I got up and walked over in between them. I put my arm around her shoulders and steered her away from Nik and out the door.
"Come on Katerina let's go over here," I said as I brought her over to the bench near the wood line.
We had just reached the edge when I grabbed the back of her neck and spun her around. My hand was clutched at her throat. I felt the blood rush to my face and my fangs slide from my gums.
"Its your fault Elijah's dead. It's time for you to die once and for all." I lurched forward and bit into her neck. She screamed and fought but she was way outmatched. I went into a frenzy. About ten seconds later I was sure of two things. Katerina was in multiple pieces and I blacked out.
I woke up with a white cotton shirt on. That was it. My long blonde hair was recently brushed. I was suddenly aware I was in a bed. My bed. I sat up and looked around. The bathroom door was slightly open and the shower was running. I got up, stretched, and walked into the bathroom.
Nik stood behind the clouded glass rinsing out his hair. I pulled the shirt off and stepped in. Nik looked at me in surprise but feigned indifference and continued to run his hands through his hair. So we were playing that game huh?
I stepped up close and reached my hand past his face, brushing it on its way. This was a game of self restraint. I grabbed the soap and turned and stepped away. Nik's hand grabbed my waist and his other reached past me to grab the soap. His chest pressed against my back. Okay I broke.
I turned around and crushed my lips against his. Nik's hand reached back and turned the water off and then he picked me up. He carried me out to the bed and laid me down. I giggled.
"We're going to get the bed wet."
"Mhm," he murmured and chuckled.
"OK, now we really need to get up."
"No," I pouted. He laughed and leaned down and kissed me.
We got up and walked out into the kitchen where Sky was cooking breakfast. I took a sausage from the pan and popped in my mouth. I grunted my approval and ate another before I walked out to the living room where Nik was waiting. I walked in to see him and Haylie sitting on the couch laughing.
"Well don't we sound like we're having fun," I said walking in and sitting on Nik's lap. I felt him chuckle under me. I turned, leaned down and kissed him, sticking my tongue in his mouth so she could see it.
"I'm gonna go see if Sky needs help in the kitchen," Haylie said getting up and walking in the kitchen.
Nik pulled back and looked at me, chuckling. He shook his head.
"What?" I asked innocently. He raised an eyebrow at me and shook his head again.
"You're cruel." I smiled back and gave him a kiss before I got up, pulling him with me. I heard the doorbell ring and flitted to the living room.
"I got it!" I said so everyone could hear me. I walked forward and opened the door. I gasped. Nik appeared by my side and made a choking sound.
"I'm home," Elijah said looking confused and stepped inside, closing the door behind him.
