I couldn't help but watch him as he walked away. For a vampire leaders son he was nice. I wonder if it's an act to draw me in then drain me. For all I know they could all be tricking me. I took in a breath, shaking my head slightly, walking over to them. None of them looked up as I arrived closer to the group, they kept up their conversation. I tried to block it out since I wasn't apart of it. I looked at all their smiles, besides Mikey's he just had a poker face. He had a cute poker face. I felt myself frown at that comment. Like he would even consider being my friend. I felt my shoulders slump. I looked down at my feet feeling bummed out. I felt myself rock back an forth making me smile at the fact I can't stay still. I felt a tap on my shoulder making me snap out of my trance, my heart speeding up. I looked up quickly, making my neck crack, with wide eyes.
"Ouch, that sounded painful" the girl said. I gave her an awkward smile. "My name is Sam welcome to the family" she grinned at me. I couldn't help but grin back as she wrapped her arms around me. It's been ages since I've had a hug. I wrapped my arms around her, squeezing lightly.
"My names Alex and your warm" I said shaking her a little. She laughed, squeezing me tighter.
"You're warm too and we are going to be best friends" I felt my cheeks heat up. She let go and held me arms length. She smiled at me before letting go. I felt kind of sad not to be hugged anymore. It was nice and warm. I wrapped my own arms around my torso before looking at the group. Frank looked over and smiled. I smiled back awkwardly. "Hey Alex come one we're going to the sitting room" Sam called. I nodded giving her a smile. I walked after all of them as they exited the room. We walked down a different hall then before. We turned left and went up a flight of stairs. So far the castle was beautiful. It's just as mind blowing as you would think, it was slightly victorian styled. They then walked into the third door, to the right, entering a room. The room had four love seats all facing each other, in a squear. Their was a table pushed to the left wall, paintings hanging on the wall, a gothic fire place, there was another love seat facing the giant fire place, a cabinet with books filling it and a giant tv set. There was then more shelves on ether side of the television, filled with d.v.ds. I couldn't help but look at the beautiful room in awe. I felt hands land on my shoulders making me jump. Then the room was filled with laughter, I felt my cheeks heat up. I turned to see Frank smiling at me.
"Lighten up Alex it's not like we're all blood sucking demons just Gee and Mikey" He said with a wink. They guy with long hair gasped before walking over, quietky, and hitting Frank over the head. Frank put his arms over his head, looking at the guy with pain. He gave him an innocent smile as everyone laughed. His red eyes then turned to me. He smiled exposing his fangs, making my heart beat a little faster.
"Hi my names Gerard but you can call me Gee. I swear I'm not a 'blood sucking demon' I'm just someone who survives off it" I couldn't help but cringe away from him. "That sounds worse doesn't it" he said smiling awkwardly.
"It kinda does" I breathed out. He looked at me with the same awkward smile.
"Come on, let's all celebrate" Frank said grabbing my arm, pulling me to the couches. He sat me down next to Sam, who smiled. Mikey sat to my left on the other couch with the witch. Frank jumped onto the couch infront of me, Gee sat down next to him with a easy smile. Bob was then sprawled out on the last couch. I put my hands between my knees, leaning back slightly. I couldn't seat back fully else my feet wouldn't touch the floor, I hate when my feet dangle.
"So Alex do you know our names?" Bob asked drawing attention to me. I licked my lips before bitting on them. I looked over at Sam who smiled at me. I nodded my head.
"I only don't know the witch's name" I said looking in Bob's blue eyes. He nodded his head.
"Ray his name is Ray" Was his reply. I nodded my head before looking at Ray. He gave me a happy smile.
"Nice to know your name, Ray" I said smiling awkwardly. I took my hands out from between my knees, pulled them into my sleeves.
"Nice to met you Alex" he said with an even bigger smile. I couldn't help but give him a proper smile. "So what are those slave places liked?" he asked.
"Uh, I guess they're okay except for the smell. Sometimes you hear screaming but I guess it's life" I replied with a shrug."What's it like being the son of a leader?" I asked leaning forward. He looked up, thinking before looking back with a smile.
"It's pretty cool but I would rather be normal" he said happily. I nodded my head. "Do you play any instruments" he leaned forward with an excited look. I felt my face go red.
"I play uh piano and I sing a little but I'm not very good at either. Well I'm good at piano but not the singing" I replied truthfully. He looked slightly disappointed by my answer. "How 'bout you?" I smiled as he perked up. I felt bad when he looked disappointed.
"I play guitar and I like to think I'm pretty good since I've been at it a while" he said moving his hands around. I nodded my head smiling.
"You have to play something for me" I replied excitedly. He nodded his head quickl, making his hair bounce, smiling. I felt happy because he was happy.
"Sure, we're all actually in a band" he said. I looked at him wide eyed. "Ya it's pretty cool, it passes the time" he leaned back in his seat.
""Who does what?" I asked curiously. I leaned back also. I looked around quickly to see everyone talking besides Mikey. He was looking at Ray. He turned and looked over at me. I couldn't help but blush, he probably thought I was staring at him. He smiled slightly, making me blush more. I smiled back before looking at Ray. He looked between Mikey and I with a raised eyebrow.
"Well I play lead guitar, Frank plays rhythm guitar and does the back up vocals with me, Gee is the lead singer, Bob plays drums and Mikey plays bass" I nodded my head. "We'll play for you some time especially since you're going to be here for a while. You'll probably be listening to us alot" he laughed.
"I look forward to that. What kind of music do you play?" I asked. He looked over at Mikey.
"Well we play mainly rock I guess" Mikey said looking at me. I nodded my head looking at my lap.
"That's cool I can't wait to hear you guys then" I said looking between Ray and Mikey. They both smiled at me. I smiled back then looked at my lap, biting my lip.
"Hey Alex do you have any tattoos?" I looked over to see Frank looking at me. I looked him in the eyes.
"No but I want some how about you?" I asked. He smiled, showing his spikey teeth. He was practically bouncing in his seat. Gerard looked at him curiously.
"Ya I have alot of 'em. I'll take you to get one some day if Mikey allows it" he said smiling. Mikey looked up at the mention of his name.
"What?" he asks, looking over at me. He turned back to Frank.
"I was saying how I woukd take Alex to get a tattoo some timeif you allow her" Frank said. He moved his hands around as he spoke. Mikey looked at me and then back at Frank.
"Sure if she wants" he said. I couldn't help but smile and bounce. He looked over at me with amusement, as did Frank, as I bounced with a giant smile that resembled the joker."By her excitement I'm guessing she wants one" Mikey chuckled. I stopped bouncing blushing slightly.
"Wants what?" Sam asked looking over at me curiously. I looked around to see everyone else, outside our conversationg, looking between us three curiously.
"A tattoo" Frank replied. Gerard made a sound of disgust, crinkling his nose.
"Needles" he hissed out. I leaned into my seat. The others laughed at him. "How can you stand them?" he asked looking at me. I felt myself shrug.
"I like tattoos" was my answer. I then gestured to my lip piercings "and piercings". Gerard smiled at me slightly.
"I hate needles they scare me. I can never under stand why you would get needles stuck into you willingly" he said frowning slightly. I laughed at him a little.
"I can't understand why you drink blood" I replied. I felt my eyes widen at what I said. I can't believe I said that to my masters brother. Frank and Sam burst outlaughing as I covered my mouth. Gerard started laughing as well making everyone look at them.
"What's got the three of you giggly and Alex scared?" Ray asked looking at us questioningly, trying not to smile. Mikey looked at me with a raised eyebrow.
"I am so sorry I said that" I squeaked out. I felt my throat get tighter. Gerard stopped laughing and looked at me.
"Why are you saying sorry. I asked you a question and you replied simple as" he said.
"But I was being disrespectful" I squeaked. Gerard laughed again before getting up. I felt my heart beat faster as he walked over to me. My eyes widen as he hugged me.
"You made me laugh so no harm no foul" he laughed out. "Now hug me back, I feel weird hugging you and you not hugging back" I laughed a little at that wrapping my arms around him. We soon let go and he returned to his seat. By then Frank and Sam had stopped laughing.
"So anyone want to explain?" Bob asked looking around with a raised eyebrow. He looked at Frank last.
"Well Gerard was being a girl again" he said getting a punch in the arm by Gerard. He chuckled a little, as did everyone else, as Gerard pouted crossing his arms. I couldn't help but smile. These people seem genuinely nice. I think I might like it here. "He complained about needles and asked why Alex would do it willingly. Alex shrugged and replied with 'i don't understand why you drink blood'. You guys saw the rest" Frank finished. I felt my face go red as Ray laughed while Bob and Mikey chuckled.
