Anyway I will see you all in the next chapter :)
"It isn't that bad D, now come on. You're the guest of honor." Dragging me toward my doom, Gigi had a bright smile on her face. Sighing I knew I couldn't fight this so I just accepted my fate and soon I was surrounded by blood thirsty well-wishers. As I had various pats on the back and I heard so many congrats and happy birthdays I think I was going to be sick of those words, but I sucked it up because… to be honest… I was kind of touched by all of this. Anyway, as I made my way through all the well-wishers I found my dad standing next to a dark-haired woman who looked very similar to Kate Beckinsale, expect her hair was slicked back. She wore a charcoal suit jacket a gray shirt, a business skirt, with black stockings and heels.
"Well, it is wonderful to see you D, and happy birthday." The woman said her voice tinged with a British accent.
"Hey Selene, good to see you too, and thanks." I said with a small smile, this woman was my dad's agent and perhaps one of the more prominent adult figures in my life, she was also my godmother.
"Your very welcome, now come here and give me a hug young man." Selene opened her arms out to me.
Rolling my eyes, I hugged the older woman. "Yes ma'am… So, do you think you can help me escape?"
"No can do." The British woman grinned at me.
"Sorry son but Gigi and I worked very hard to make this party happen, now come on. There are some people that want to see you." My dad smiled and wrapped his arm around my shoulder, and led me away from both Gigi and Selene.
"Oh? I'm pretty sure that there isn't anyone here I haven't met, it looks like you invited the entire school." I said looking at my dad with a raised eyebrow. Smiling my dad led me off to a corner where four very familiar people were standing there, people I thought I would never in my life ever see again. "Jacob, Sarah, Milo, Henry!"
Grinning Jacob rushed over and wrapped my head under his arm the blonde idiot gave me a noogie. "What's up blood sucker? How's it feel to be seventeen huh?"
"Jacob let D go right now!" Walking up to us Sarah grabbed Jacob by the ear and pulled him away. "You know he doesn't like being touched like that. Sorry D, and happy birthday." The purple haired girl smiled.
"Happy birthday D." Milo said looking up from his DS… Wow that is…impressive the little geek hardly ever looks up from his games when he talks to people.
Chuckling Henry slowly walked up to me and placed a hand on my shoulder with a grin. "You are a true badass kid."
"I…I…" I tried to speak but no words came out I think I was in shock.
"Oh good, going Jacob you broke D." Sarah rolled her eyes and smacked the blonde-haired teen, slowly walking up to me Sarah smacked the upside of my head.
"Gah son of a- "Shaking my head I stared at all my friends from New York in shock. "You guys… What are…How…Why? I thought… I thought you guys hated me…Or your parents did…I'm so confused." Looking between one another my friends all smiled and shook their heads.
"D, we don't hate you. Hell, you saved my life, I owe you bro." Jacob smiled at me. "And to be honest fuck my parents I can't believe they tried to kill you and your dad."
"Same, your you D. Whether you're a half-vampire, unicorn, or anything." Sarah shook her head. "Though you have to admit it was scary seeing you fight a freaking tiger."
"What are you talking about woman? Scary? That was BADASS!" Henry smiled. "And yeah screw our parents, I can't believe they would try something like that."
Nodding Milo put his DS away. "D, we can't hate you, you are our friend. Was it freaky seeing you as you were? Yeah but we got over it, you've been our best friend for years. Give us some credit."
Taking a deep breath, I looked at all my friends and I swear to god I had to fight the urge not to tear up… I thought they would have hated me, for being a monster…be afraid… and yet…They weren't. Letting out the breath I was holding, and pulled all my friends into a very tight hug and squeezed. "I missed you guys… More than you could ever know."
"We missed you too, now if you don't mind… This is getting kind of gay." Jacob laughed as he and the others pulled away. "Yeah.,. Now come on D let's meet all your monster friends!"
Rolling my eyes, I motioned for them to follow me but not before thanking my dad. I knew that he was the one that brought them all out here. Anyway, introducing my human friends to the monsters was… Well interesting, Jacob ran off with Heath to go hit on some of the ladies… Yeah that was Jacob for you. Sarah got caught up talking with Frankie and Clawdeen, while Henry was having a flexing contest with Manny… And Milo was talking with Jackson both of them finding something in common. Shaking my head, I couldn't help but smile. Yeah, my friends and I weren't hanging out at the moment but… I was fine with that, they were back in my life and that was all that mattered to me.
"Yo there you are birthday boy!"
Turning to face the voice I grinned somewhat and shook my head. "Hey Magnus, what are you doing here? And… Is that Darling?" I asked, because walking up to me was a blonde hair girl who was wearing a light blue puffy shirt, she had white corset with shield and sword designs on her corset, she had on some pieces of armor throughout her outfit, she was also wearing white tights and dark blue high heel boots. She also had her long blonde hair undone and it went down all the way to her knees.
"Of course, who else do you know that would put up with this idiot?" Darling smiled warmly at her boyfriend.
"Hey! That's- That's fair." Magnus grinned and shook his head. "Anyway, happy birthday man."
"Thanks Magnus, and Darling." I nodded at the both of them and smiled slightly. "Now, answer this question, why are you dressed like Van Helsing?" I asked staring at Magnus.
"Clothing magic." The bronze haired teen mumbled and shook his head.
"I… That sounds made up, but given you live in a fairy tale world… I will leave it alone."
"Good, now come on Magnus you said you would show me around." Darling smiled at me. "Happy birthday D I'm sure we will catch up later."
"Yeah see you later man." And with that the couple both walked off. Though I swear I heard Magnus getting into an argument with Henry about whether or not someone as thin as him could toss around Manny… And looking in their direction I shook my head as Magnus now hogged tied Henry with his scarf. "That's the guy I consider my best friend." Shaking my head, I looked around the gym and spotted Toralei who was standing by herself, shrugging I slowly walked over to her and leaned against the wall. "Hey Toralei." I said not looking at her.
"Hey D, happy birthday." She said looking around doing her best to make it look like we weren't talking.
Looking around I made sure no one was looking and wrapped my arm around her shoulder. "Thanks for coming."
Smiling the orange werecat nodded before waving at me. "No problem D. Anyway, I'll see you later I need to go and see some people."
"Of course, see you later." I waved back at the werecat and only just started to walk away but I was soon tackled to the ground by a very hyped up looking Howleen. "Uhh…"
"Happy birthday D!" She grinned and…Holy crap she just kissed me on the lips and ran off. "Enjoy the birthday kiss!"
"Howleen get back here!"
Slowly leaning up I saw Clawdeen glaring after her little sister, smacking my lips I raised an eyebrow. "Am I chewing gum now?"
"D? You okay?" Holding out her paw for me the werewolf teen frowned slightly, shrugging I took her hand and slowly stood to my feet.
"I should be but… I think I just got kiss mugged…And- "Slowly blowing a bubble I smacked my lips."-I think I took your sister's gum."
Shaking her head Clawdeen gently rubbed my back. "I'm sorry that happened, and don't you worry I'll have a serious talk with Howleen about this."
"Please do." I sighed and rubbed my face. "Anyway… Good seeing you Clawdeen." I tried to walk away but a certain werewolf wouldn't let go of my jacket.
"Yo, D wait before yeah go." Leaning forward Clawdeen placed a small kiss on my cheek. "Happy birthday, now if you'll excuse me I have a little sister to go deal with."
And like that she vanished into the crowd. "Huh…" Gently touching my cheek I shook my head and sighed. "Weird day."
"Weird maybe but at least it is interesting." Someone said from the shadows.
Looking around I simply shook my head with a small smile. "Come on out Twyla." Slowly walking out of the shadows the daughter of the Boogeyman smiled up at me and held up a cup of what I was guessing punch to me, gladly taking it I took a swallow and nodded my thanks to the gray girl. "Enjoying yourself?"
"It's not too bad, though I think I'm mostly enjoying your reactions to things." Twyla smirked slightly. "And happy birthday."
"Sadist." Grumbling playfully, I nudged the smaller teen and shook my head. "Thanks though."
Shaking her head Twyla gently leaned against me for a moment before smiling. "Your welcome, anyway this isn't just a social visit. I was sent to find you."
"To find me for what?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Time for you to open your presents." Grabbing me by the arm I was dragged by the gray skinned girl toward a rather large table where my dad was standing along with a lot of my well friends, along with Headmistress Bloodgood, Selene, not surprising my Aunty Helen who I totally missed… How could I miss that crazy woman? She normally causes a scene where ever she goes.
Upon seeing me my dad gave me a rather large grin…. And was that a mike in his hand? "Hey everyone, how are we doing tonight?" A small cheer went up through the gym. "That's good, well everyone it's time for the birthday boy here to open his presents… But sense we don't got all night I figured we would just open the big ones." Another cry went throughout the gym which must have been a sign of agreement. Motioning for me to stand next to him my dad wrapped an arm around my shoulders. "Now D we have a few big gifts tonight. I hope you're ready for them. Now here is the first one!"
The crowd before us slowly parted and all of them were 'ohing' and 'awing' to reveal a very biker looking Elissabat with her hair tied back tightly against her head, she was pushing forward a…
"That's a Harley Davidson 750." I gasped staring at the bike. The bike itself was very beautiful, the chrome on the bike was shinned to perfection, while the paint was a shiny black with what looked like Alucard's pentagram symbol painted in blood red on both sides of the gas tank. Smiling Elissabat put down the kick stand and slowly walked up to me and gently kissed my cheek. "Happy birthday D."
The rest of the party was well… Interesting to the say the least, the rest of my gifts I opened at home, Clawdeen had bought me a new drawing pad with some new shading pencils, Frankie bought me a new watch but she added in a few features with Ghoulia's help. Draculaura and Clawd got me some anime. Cleo got me a cursed necklace, yeah never using that… Like ever, however I did get some nice shades from Deuce. Twyla got a copy of one her more interesting books which I had to admit was cool after looking through it. Magnus and Darling both just gave me cash… Well more like they gave these gold coins…So I guess I'm going to be going to a gold exchange place later.
Gigi did something I didn't expect by giving me a full day of genie service which was weird and I had no idea what she meant by it, all my friends from New York got me some crappy tourist stuff from New York like t-shirts that said, 'My friend went to New York but all I got was this t-shirt'… But to be honest I loved the gifts, it was a little piece of home for me. Elissabat didn't get me my motorcycle but she did bring it into the gym, so when I asked her what her gift was to me later she… Well I got kissed straight on the mouth… Yeah second time that night, and I ended up losing the gum.
Anyway, the party wrapped up quickly and everyone went home or to their hotel, after pushing my bike home. As I didn't have my license yet I decided to hang out in my room with a small smile on my face, yeah sure things were… Well looking good.
"Hey D, you got a minute?"
Looking up from my bed I slowly sat up and motioned for my dad to come on in. Nodding my dad made his way into my room and sat down in my desk chair. "Hey dad what's up?"
"Oh, nothing but I figured since we were back home… I could give you something, your final birthday present."
Raising an eyebrow, I looked at my dad. "Dad, you've given me more than enough."
"Oh, this present isn't from me." Reaching his leather jacket my dad pulled out a metal cylinder with a note attached to it. "This was from your mother… Before…" My dad sighed and looked down. "Before she left, she told me to give this to you on your 17th birthday."
I…I… I couldn't believe this, my mom? She had a gift me? Looking down at the little keepsake necklace that I wore I gently gripped the crystal and closed my eyes. Slowly letting out a breath that I didn't know I was holding, I reached out and grabbed the metal cylinder and the note and read over it. "To my dearest son, I write this knowing that I will never be there to see you grow into the wonderful young man I know you will become, it breaks my heart having to leave but I hope this gift will provide the answers you seek… With all my love Mom."
Smiling sadly my dad rubbed his face. "Go on son, open it."
Nodding I slowly set the note down and looked over the metal cylinder and slowly twisted the top to reveal a small glass vial with a dark red liquid, Removing the top of the glass vial I sniffed at the liquid and shook my head. "It's blood… Why would…"
"Maybe you're supposed to drink it?" My dad suggested with a shrug. Sighing I nodded and slowly poured the liquid down my throat, smacking my lips I couldn't really put a taste to the blood…." Hey why is everything so…Blurry…"
"D, you okay-D!"
"Huh!?" Shooting up I looked around with a raised eyebrow feeling very confused. "This isn't my room…." The room if you could call it that was completely white with nothing in it… It was like a void of nothingness expect it was white…" Where am I?"
"Hello mon petit, my look at you, you've grown so much."
Slowly turning around my eyes went wide as I stared at the person standing before me. "Mom!?"
