Vampire (Continued)

Libby swallowed hard before getting off of Rave. She looked at the ground while Arywin approached them. She looked from her brother to Libby and then back again. If Libby could blush, Arywin guessed that her face would have been bright red. Rave was refusing to make eye contact like Libby.

Arywin crossed her arms over her chest and waited for one of them to explain their selves. When she cleared her throat, Rave looked up at her.“I only told her about our way of life and our history, so don’t look at me.” He threw his arms in the air. Sighing, Rave stood. He didn’t want to argue at the moment. On his way out of the kitchen, Rave grabbed the whiskey bottle and left the two women alone.

Arywin watched her brother leave. A few moments after he disappeared, Arywin turned back to Libby. She was standing there with her head down and hand clenched together in front of her. She was looking at everything but Arywin.“Libby, what were you doing?” Arywin asked causing Libby to finally look up. Libby shrugged her shoulders as she looked away again. Arywin sighed in frustration. “Libby, you darn well know that Rave likes you. So you use that against him?”

“I only wanted answers Arywin. You know how much I hate it when people keep thing from me.” Libby replied angrily. “I have every right to know.”

“Oh do you, now?” Arywin asked. “Libby you have right to nothing. And using my brother like that to get answers is darn right low, even for you. You’re just going to have to suck it up and not know.” Libby glared at Arywin. Suddenly the silence was broken by Arywin’s cell phone. She reached into her jacket pocket and looked at the call ID. ‘Daniel’ it said. Taking a deep breath, she answered the phone.

“Hello?”

“Hey, Arywin?” He asked on the other end.

“Yah?”

“Hey, this is Daniel. I was wondering if you were coming to the club tonight?”

“Um…” She looked over at Libby. Libby’s mood had completely changed. She was smiling at Arywin, encouraging her to say yes. Arywin looked away and turned her back to Libby. “Um I guess I am. Why?”

“Just wondering if you were going. I’m going to be there tonight again with a couple of friend and I wanted to know if I could meet you there?”

“Well I guess so but I don’t think that I’m going to get there until at least 10:30 tonight.”

“Cool. Hey that’s fine. Well I’ll meet you there then.”

“Alright.”

“Bye.” They said together. Arywin pulled to phone away from her ear and pressed end. Slowly she turned back around to face Libby.She was standing there smiling at her, giving Arywin an uneasy feeling. “What?” she asked. Before Arywin could react, Libby sprang at her and wrapped her arms around her shoulders.

“Oh, Ary. You’re coming to the club tonight. That’s way exciting!” She could hardly contain her excitement. She started to bounce up and down but Arywin was staying planted on the ground. “Ug, we have to get you new clothes and shoes. We’ve got to get you looking damn sexy.”

“You will not.” Came a voice from behind them. Arywin turned around with Libby still hugging her shoulders. Rave was standing the doorway and from the look on his face, he had heard the conversation that Arywin had had on the cell phone.

Libby was the first one to react. She released Arywin and walked up in front of Rave. “And what gives you the right to stop us? Huh, Rave?”

Rave looked down at her with piercing eyes but Libby seemed unmoved by them. “How about the fact that I’m her older brother, Libby.?” Libby rolled her eyes.

“So. She’s a grown girl, Rave. She can do anything she wants besides pulling out of this one.” Replied Libby as she turned to look at Arywin. Arywin smile sheepishly as Libby rolled her eyes and looked back at Rave. “You’re just going to have to deal with it, big brother.” She mouth as she ruffled his bangs.

Annoyed, Rave pulled back to straighten his hair. Laughing, Libby turned around and grabbed a hold of Arywin’s arm. She lead her passed Rave and into the entryway. Libby quickly put her jacket on and then shoved Arywin’s on her shoulders. Looking up, Libby saw Rave enter into the room. Before he could say anything, Libby opened the door and pulled Arywin out behind her.

Rave sighed and rolled his eyes. Scratching his head, Rave turned back around and headed towards the living room. “I need more whiskey.”
