Vampire (Continued)

Libby drove Arywin home. She tried to get some information out of her but Arywin wasn’t talking. She wasn’t sure if she even had a voice at the moment. The night seemed to be perfect. She made out with Daniel and pissed Drake off at the same time. Life couldn’t get any better.

All too soon, Libby pulled up in front of Arywin’s house. She put the car in park and stared at her friend. She was happy for Arywin, happy that she felt this way at least. But there was a small voice inside her head, telling her to warn Ary. She pushed it away, deciding not to ruin Arywin’s day.

Arywin sat there for a moment in a kind of daze. Her mind was elsewhere, that was clear. She didn’t even know they had stopped until Libby poked her in the shoulder. Arywin turned her head to Libby. “What?” She asked. Libby pointed at the house in silence. Arywin followed her gaze and smiled in embarrassment. Thanking Libby for the ride, Arywin climbed out of the car and walked up to the front door.

The house was silent when Arywin entered. She listened for Rave as she slowly and quietly closed the door. Exhaling, Arywin leaned up against the door and closed her eyes. Her thoughts turned to Daniel and the warmth of his arms. A smile spread across her lips as she day dream. She wondered when she would see him again. Opening her eyes, Arywin removed her coat and hung it up in the closet.

Quietly she walked up to her room and laid down on her bed. Until then, she hadn’t realized how tired she was. Turning over onto her side, Arywin closed her eyes again and drifted off to sleep.

When she awoke, Arywin found her blanket tucked around her, the drapes down and her door closed. ‘Rave.’ she thought as she climbed out of bed. She was really happy about being a vampire cause then she wouldn’t have to deal with the dizziness along with her light headedness. She stretched as she stood in her room. Sighing, Arywin opened her closet door and took out a t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants. Quickly she changed, put her clubbing clothes away and headed down to the kitchen.

She found Rave there reading that morning’s paper. A hot cup of coffee was sitting beside his empty bowl of ceral. He sparred Arywin a glance as she got her own cup of coffee. Wihtout a word, she walked over and sat down opposite of Rave. He smiled at her without looking up at the paper. They sat there in silence for a while until Rave set the paper aside.

“So.” He started. “How was last night?”

“Pretty good. I saw Daniel again and that pissed Drake off.” Arywin replied as she took another sip of her coffee. Rave raised an eyebrow. Arywin smiled as she set her coffee down. “Yah he didn’t like me making out with Daniel.”

“Interesting.” Was all Rave said.

“What? I thought you didn’t like me going out with other guys?” questions Arywin.

“Well now that I know it will piss off Drake, you can go ahead and spend as much time with Daniel as you want.” Rave replied. Arywin gave Rave a victory smile as she took another sip of her coffee. Suddenly the door bell rang. Rave and Arywin stared at each other. Rolling her eyes, Arywin stood up and went to the entryway, still smiling. However, the person on the other side of the door wiped the smile off her face.

“What do you want Drake?” Arywin hissed. She stood so that she was blocking the way into the house. Drake looked down at her and gave Arywin a sweet smile.

“I want to talk to your brother, Ary. Is he in?” Drake asked taking a step closer.

Arywin raised an eyebrow. “First of all, you can call me Arywin and only Arywin. Secondly, yes he’s in. Why do you want to talk to him?” She asked him coldly.

“Let him in Ary.” Rave said behind her. “Might as well let him say what he wants. That will get him out of here sooner.”

Arywin stepped back to allow Drake in. He walked passed her a little closer than Arywin had wished. She closed the door behind him and leaned up against the door. Drake looked at Rave with a blank expression on his face. “What do you want Drake?” Rave asked.

“I’d like to talk to you privately.” Drake replied turning slightly to glance back at Arywin. “I have some things that I need to tell you.”

“Whatever you have to say can be said in front of me and my sister.” Rave answered crossing his arms over his chest. Arywin smiled at Drake.

“Fine.” He said turning back to Rave. “I should have you know that your sister was making out with a human last night. She was all over him.”

Rave nodded his head. “And that concerns you, how?” Arywin’s smile widened. Her brother was backing her up.

“Because she shouldn’t be doing that with a human. She’s going to loose her control and then kill him.” Drake warned. “If she wants to be involved with someone, it should be someone from her own race. Another Vampire.”

“I thank you for your concern. Arywin, tisk-tisk.” Rave slapped the back of his hand while looking at Ary. “Ok is that all?” he asked looking back at Drake.

Drake’s face darkened. “You think that’s going to do anything? You’re so stupid Rave. She needs to be controlled.”

“Thank you, Rave. But I believe that I know how to handle my own sister.” Rave replied cooly. “Besides, I really don’t have a problem with her being with a human, Drake. You want to know why? Because then I at least know she’s not with you.” He paused for a moment to let his words sink in. “I bet that just kills you knowing that she picked a human over you. Well I’m going to respect her decision. So I guess this ends our conversation. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.” And with that Rave turned on his heels and headed back into the kitchen.

Drake slowly turned back around, with shock written all over his face. Arywin grinned at him as she opened the door. He slowly walked to the door and then stopped in front of Arywin.

“I can’t believe you would go so low, Arywin. You picked a human.” Drake stated. “You could have had so much better.”

“Actually, Drake, I like Daniel because he lets me be who I am. He also doesn’t really force himself on me. Nothing pissed me off more than when you claimed me as your mate, Drake. Remember that.” She said and she pushed him out the house and slammed the door in his face.
