25-Vampire.
Dante POV.
“Andy” I try to talk to him, but the little guy was mad at me now, he wouldn’t turn back to me, I’ve fed him his dinner, or at least what he’d eat from it. He hardly had a few bites, but I put that off on the sickness, I let it slide for now.
“Andy, do you need anything before bed?” I ask him if he’s going to play all angry and mad at me, he can go to bed early tonight to help him calm down.
“I not sleepy!” He says with a bigger whine turning toward me, his face was set into a deep pout.
“You are sick, it’s medicine and bed for you little one,” I say not leaving any chance for discussion, his eyes were still filled with tears, he went against the pillow with a big humph, he’s still in my bed, and I don’t plan on moving him back to his own.
I went to get the medicine, getting the spoon filled with it, it’s a syringe spoon, easier to measure and get the little to take them, he shook his head no to it. I still tried to coo him into taking the medicine without much fuss, but no such luck, he whined, cried and groaned refusing to take it, until I forced it down his mouth.
“I hate you” Andy says, the words he never said to me before, it’s not words I want to hear from him, not after today, he’s not just talking about the medicine, he’s mad about me making him into a vampire, I haven’t changed him yet, but he knows it now.
“I know you don’t, you’re just mad at me” I say trying to talk myself into it, he’s just mad at me, he doesn’t hate me.
“I want to sleep,” he says getting more comfortable in the bed.
“Okay baby” I answer him feeling just as low as he is right now.
“I want to sleep alone” he says, making my blood run cold, it’s one of the things I wouldn’t allow him, not now, not ever, to get away from me.
“No, you’re sleeping in my bed,” I say in a firm voice, he’s staying with me, especially while him being sick.
“Nu fair” he calls after me turning on the pillow crying now, it broke my heart, but I left the room for now, giving him a chance to calm down before I came back to bed.
I decided to have a drink, for now, I sat in my office nursing a whiskey glass when Lucas walked in, Lucas is Arianna’s papa, he and James got married a few hundred years ago, and finally decided to get Arianna in their life. She’s the perfect little bat, or kitten, or puppy, or whatever she wakes up feeling like, she’s more on the submissive side, but a little non the less, she showed signs of being little since she was fourteen and decided she was one at fifteen, now at sixteen, she gives everyone hell. Especially when she teases Andy, she comes up with the weirdest stories that he believes, he’s so cute when he believes the lies of her buying a daddy, leaving the house, being the boss.
“What got you so gloomy?” he asks getting a glass of his own.
“Andy announced he hates me” I say to my old friend.
“That’s nice, Arianna hates us, this house, and the whole world,” he says.
“And why would she hate everything?” I ask him wanting to know what’s up with my neese.
“James wouldn’t allow her to watch a horror movie at midnight,” he says, oh I would hate the world too if I wasn’t allowed to watch a horror movie in the middle of the night.
“Where’s James now?” I ask.
“Beating a tree outside, it’s either that or Ari’s bum” he says making me laugh, I could give up a tree or two for the safety of Arianna.
“Cheers to that” I say lifting my glass to him.
“What’s up with Andy? He’s the perfect little,” Lucas says, he’s right, Andy is really calm and well behaved.
“I’m going to change him into a vampire” I say expecting him too to get angry with me.
“That’s great news!” He says making me smile, at least I have my friend and brother support.
“At least one of us is happy about it” I say.
“Just be ready for a really small little who’d be hungry the whole time. Arinna kept crying for food in the middle of the night until she was six” he remind me of those days when she was younger.
“I’ll be ready for that” I say with a smile, now excited about seeing a supper small Andy.
“I’ll get miss grumpy to talk to him tomorrow, she’ll tell him how awesome it’s to be a bat like her” Lucas says, now I’m really smiling, I had the family support.
