“That creature out there...What you saw, is going to be watching us. Like testing us almost, seeing how far we can go and if we fuck up he will take that chance to...to murder us.” Im so confused still. “I know you are Frankie but that thing.” He pointed towards the curtains breathing heavily. “That thing is something only seen or heard of in story books.”


“What do you mean by story books?”


Gerard closed his eyes still kneeling on the floor. “I mean when Mikey was reading some mythical book about fake monster or so I think, he came across this one about a demon, that takes on a almost human form and tries to sneak into dreams and reality and haunts mates and their families to get the truth or whatever they are seeking.”


He finally opened his eyes and sat next to me on the bed but his focus was on the floor. I moved a bit to face him trying to catch his eyes. “Gee...Promise me something.” He looked up and met my eyes. His were filled with sorrow and reminiscence, the color changing for gold to a soft orange and some scattered black flecks. “If anything tries to hurt me or you or family we will do anything to stop it.” He nodded his head and pulled me into an embrace. I snuggled my head into his chest taking in all of his scent; coffee and cigarettes. It felt like forever here but his phone started vibrating in his pocket. I pulled away to let him get it out.


“Yeah Mikey?” “Okay...uhuh..” “No! Come on, Im not like that.” “What did he do?!” “On it. Stay right there!”


“Come on Frank. Ill explain later just stay close to me and listen to everything that I tell you.” He grabbed my hand and drag me out of the room and down the stairs. My guess is that Mikey is in trouble or something.


We pulled up at the front of the high school? Wow I totally forgot about this place. So much has changed since the last time I was here. I can see that its still in session there are some students outside talking and what not. My eyes kept roaming around the crowd from the window when I spotted skinny figure all in black with glasses sitting down under a tree. I wonder whats wrong with Mikey?


“Now that you asked that I should probably tell you. Remember one of those doms that I tried to protect you from back when you didn’t want anything to do with me? His name was Liam and him and Mikey were sorta friends until he brought up something about Mikey that only he and I knew of...” That last part was kind of a whisper but I heard it anyway. I didn’t have anything to say so I nodded.


Gerard put his hand on the steering wheel and looked straight out into nothing it seemed like. “When we get out of this car I want you to stay close to me. Dont leave my side unless I tell you to. If anything happens....I..” He turned his head to face me. The sun hitting his mirror aviators. “I will tell Bob to take you back to the house and wait there until I get back. Okay?”

“Okay..”


Gerard leaned down and gave me a kiss on my head. He then handed me a pair of sunglasses to put on and got out of the car. He came over to my side to open my door. I hopped out of the car and cracked my back 'cause right now it was a bit tight. As I was popping I saw Gerard flinch at the sound and made like the craziest face ever, like he was having some sort of seizure.

"Do you do that all the time?!"

"Yes and if were going to be together you better get used to it."

He gave me a quick nod with a half smile and closed the door. "I honestly dont think a single vampire does that other than you."

"Would I even count as a full blooded vampire?"

Gerard shrugged his shoulders and put his hands deep into his pockets. I looked around a bit at the other vampires, werewolves, and humans as we walked up the couple of stairs to get to Mikey. I can just feel their eyes burning a hole in me its starting to making me really nervous, I believe my anxiety is going to get the best of me right now. I felt Gerard's hand run over my back and down to my side rubbing circles into it.

“Everything is fine.” Gerard said to me. I looked up at him smiling a bit and looked straight forward again.

We stopped when we got to Mikey, who was sat underneath the old willow tree. I sat down in front of him and Gerard sat right next to me. From what I can see of Mikey, he must have been crying before we got here. Was it that bad? I reached my hand out and placed it on his knee and started rubbing it a bit. I feel really terrible and I dont even know what was even told.


“Could you guys walk with me to my locker please? I need to get some assignments and my bag.” He sniffed a bit before getting up.


“Yeah sure Mikey.” Gerard said as he got up and gave me a hand. Now Im kinda scared to go inside but I stayed close to Gerard like Im seriously gripping on to his arm as we walk inside through the crowd of everyone who hates me.

Come on Frank man the fuck up! But I cant everyone is like fucking stir fucking crazy in here. Wimp.

"Frankie?...Is everything alright?" Gerard whispered softly into my ear. He cleared his throat a bit before starting again. "You were growling...thats why I asked."

"..Uhh...yeah...Im fine...dont worry." I dropped my hand down to Gerard's and he interlocked our fingers. I guess this is better.


I noticed that we were getting closer to Mikey's locker which from where we were you can see some white I believe toilet paper and bright spray paint around it and I-I think I smell some like..blood? Blood on his locker. Who's blood is on Mikey's locker? We stopped when we got to his locker and me and Gerard got a better look at it. I stood back some and noticed that it said something in a different language. I honestly dont know what language it kinda was like a scribbly writing with dots and some like english letters. I turned to Gerard he took of his glasses and his face was turning red and eyes were flashing a black with flecks of dark and light red. He seriously is angry. I walked over to Mikey to ask what it said.


"What does it say?"

"It...um...reads....If you fucking disappeared...no one would ever notice....and the other ones say..." A tear started to fall from his eyes as he read me the other one. " I hate you and so does everyone else you waste of skin you, all you do is waste space you fucking cumbox....No one will ever give a shit about you, you'll never find a mate. Ever!"

After this Im will skin a vamp if I have to. No one should ever say that to someone especially since Liam was his like friend. I noticed Mikey was in tears now. I came close to him and pulled him into a hug and let him cry into my shoulder. I started rubbing his back and telling him that we will fix this. I turned to looked to see if Gerard was still there and he wasnt. Thats when we all heard a high pitched cry come from the west wing. That must be Gerard fixing the problem.

Notes

Okay so I fixed it a bit. I think its better then what it was the last time and I did add some more to it. The beginning is the same as you noticed since you read all the way down to here. I do have the original of what it was before I edited and if you guys want I can just post that one to so you can see it again and stuff. Yeah the next chapter will be posted tomorrow or monday okay? BYEEE!!!
