“Well?” I ask looking at her.
“Whoa! That was fast. Are you sure you even took a shower?” Sabrina asks me.
“Yes and I took my time to better enjoy the water.” I say and Sabrina chuckles.
“Oh my little vampire. We seem to have forgotten about your increased speed.” Sabrina teases and I just roll me eyes.
“On your right are the outfits you told me to pack and on the left, well, those are the clothes I think you should wear.” Sabrina says to me and I smile at her.
“You still have style but why do I need to dress all fancy?” I ask and she pulls me to sit down on my chair as she starts applying make up on me.
“Vampires are night creatures because they can’t do much during the day. You’re the only one that can walk around in the sun. Oh and about that, we will need to fake a ritual so you little sister, are getting a tattoo.” She tells me.
“Where?” I ask. I had to know, I mean I would never allow it to be on my face.
“On your wrist. Just a little sun tattoo, nothing crazy. I’ll get one with you if you want” Sabrina says and I sigh in relief.
“No tattoos on my face Sabrina.” I say taking one of the outfits she picked for me, black dress pants paired with my YSL opium slingback heels. A black Balmain blazer with a black satin spaghetti strapped top.
I put all of that on and whistle.
“Sabrina, I have not lost you to mama fashion. There’s still hope for you.” I say as I pull her in for a hug.
“Do we get a hug too?” Chase asks and I quickly pull away from Sab.
“Don’t be silly. You get kisses too!” I say before jumping on them.
“Sabrina filled us in on everything. We had no idea you felt this way.” Clayton says and I put my index finger on his lips.
“I just wanted to put my powers to use and goddess herself knows how powerful I am right now. I get to help in preventing a war that can take thousands of lives in the years to come, some legendary shit right there! Honestly, I just want to make my mark. I am a gifted werewolf and it’s time I put my gifts to good use before I’m all rusty.” I say trying to put some jolly vibes back in the room.
All the doom and gloom was really unnecessary.
“We just want you to be safe. Don’t get me wrong but this could be deadly for you.” Chase tells me and I roll my eyes.
“I’m only going to say this once and I need you to listen to me, open up your ears and listen to understand, not to just respond back at me. I am doing this, it has already been done. I am a hybrid and I agreed to do this because I want to. You both need to understand that before I was even a vampire, I could crush you both. If anyone needs to be babied, is the two of you. Put us all four in the battlefield, Sabrina and I will walk out unscathed. We are that strong and now add some elemental power and I’m the bitch nobody can fuck with. Understand this, whether you agree with it or not, it’s happening so you can choose to support me in this or get out of my face because clearly Ethia was wrong in pairing me with the two of you.” I say before walking past them and out of my room.
“Come on love..” Clayton comes after me.
“We just, we don’t want to lose you and none of us have ever encountered vampires.” Clayton says to me and I turn around to face him.
“That is why I’m doing this. To prevent werewolves from having to encounter these nasty blood suckers. From what I can gather from my insides and the books that I have read, they are insatiable and blood crazed. There is a voice in my head telling me to get blood and that’s all it’s telling me. I can’t imagine a life with those vile beings when there’s more to life than just sucking throats. I am capable, I know I am and I will walk out of there not in a body bag but victorious. Whether you believe it or not, I do and I never doubt myself when it comes to a challenge, you should know this about me by now.” I say and Clayton pulls me in for a hug.
“Okay I’m going go and give you three some privacy. I’ll make you your sandwich Jose.” Sab says walking out of the room, making sure to close the door.
“Please don’t take anything that we said the wrong way. We’re just scared to lose you, we won’t survive it.” Chase says hugging me from behind.
“I’ll be okay, I promise.” I say as they continue to hug me. I close my eyes taking in their scents.
As much as I really wanted to do this, I am scared. I mean, what sane person wouldn’t be? Right?
Sabrina walks in, with pleading eyes.
The twins pull away from me, each giving me a lingering kiss.
“Are you ready to go Josey?” She asks me, giving me a plate of my favorite sandwich before walking to my closet and carrying my bags.
I nod my head yes, walking towards her as I eat my sandwich so fast. I take one bag from her, blowing my mates a kiss before disappearing off and landing back to find mother, waiting for us at the door.
I was in their realm now as Sabrina didn’t think it would be a good idea to put me around weaker beings.
“About time!” Mother says before dragging me in to the castle they call home.
“Hello Josey.” Hunter greets m, formally.
“Hi. Hi there.” I say. I am still a little awkward around Hunter. He us Sabrina’s dad but she’s still awkward around him too.
“Anthony will take you to the last standing vampire community as Sabrina and I torched the other one. This one is bigger and with very old vampires who follow a certain kind of lifestyle. You will have to prove yourself continuously to move up the ranks to gain better information and possibly put a stop to the war looming above us. When I say prove yourself, you will have to do some gruesome things to appease them and to blend in so are you ready for that?” Hunter says to me.
“Well no. Obviously not but put me on the spot and I’ll improvise. Look I don’t want to feed on babies or hunt humans, I mean as you can see I’m surviving just fine without blood. I will make my way. Respect won’t be given to a mere follower so I’ll set my own rules and they will have to deal. Who cares about old wrinkly vampires anyway?” I say trying to calm the situation.
I also know myself, I won’t do anything I don’t want to do. If they ask me to feed off a baby, I won’t. I honestly don’t care about old wrinkly vampires.
“Just stay alive!” Hunter says before pulling me in for a hug. Anthony walks up to us as Hunter pulls away.
Awkward.
