Fell In Love With A Vampire.

SCARLETT'S POV

Vic has been asking me lots of questions, he talks hell of a lot. But I don't mind, it's cute. It took him about half an hour to return to his usual self after he told me what had happened to him, it was the morning I think but it's hard to keep track when you never see the sun and you don't sleep. Time doesn't seem to matter when you're a vampire, you don't need to sleep and you're going to live forever. I mean why would time matter if you have all the time you could ever want?

"It's too light in here, lets go somewhere darker" Vic grumbled, putting his hand in front of his face to shield it from the bright rays of light seeping in through the blind.
"Like where?" I look at him,
"Wherever" He takes my hand, pulling me of the bed where I sat and out of his door, Mike's bedroom is the one next to his and Vic pushed open the door. Peeking his head into the room.
"Hey Mike we're going somewhere" Vic smiles, Mike looks up at him,
"Where?"
"Anywhere, we'll be back in a minute, my room is too bright" Vic said, pulling me out the door of the attic and down the stairs. We walk for a couple minutes in pretty much silence, Vic holding my hand as he tugs me along.

"I know where we can go" Vic stops and looks at me, a smile on his face,
"Where?" I question
"To meet Patrick" Vic replies... who the hell is Patrick?
"Who's Patrick?" I look at Vic.
"I'm pretty sure he's the only person here you haven't met yet" Vic spoke as he started walking again

______________________(VIC'S POV)___________________

I was tugging Scarlett along to see Patrick, nothing made Patrick smile, he was quiet, anxious and in this sort of permanent un-happiness. That's why Scarlett had to meet him, because I think she would finally made him smile.
"Patrick's a little different" I say, glancing at her for a moment,
"How?" She replied, her voice suddenly scared,
"Well... he can read minds, he has like.. telepathy" I look at her, she's scared.
"But he's one of the nicest guys here" I smile, but I can see she's still nervous.

___________________________________________________

We finally make it to Patrick's door, I know he'll be in there he never leaves his room. He's always curled up in the corner, hidden in the dark. Patrick's is the eldest vampire here, I'm pretty sure he turns 200 years old soon. I stop at the basement door that leads to his dark room, turning to Scarlett,
"Okay I'll go in and tell him then I'll bring you to meet him in a second" I whisper, smiling at her,
"Vic I'm scared do I have to meet him?.." She whispers back, her eyes are full of fear.
"Of course, sugar you'll be fine okay?" I say, running my hand down her arm. She nods and I leave her by the door as I creep inside Patrick's big, dark basement room.

I wander around for a moment then spot him in his usual spot. Crouched down in the corner with his head against the chester draws as he lightly sleeps. Vampires don't properly sleep, the just doze. Like napping I guess. Napping only helps you get energy when your hurt or need blood though.

"Hey Patrick.. wake-up" I mumble, walking towards him, his eyes shoot open and he grumbles as his ray-band style glasses fall of onto the floor. He runs his hand across the floor through the darkness and picks them up, putting them back on again.
"Who's there? What do you want?!" He moans, brushing the dust of himself like he's been there for years and standing up.
"It's Vic .. jeez!" I laugh,who did he think I was.. Patrick grunts as usual and walks over to the edge of his bed. Sitting on it drowsily.
"What do you want Vic?" Patrick yawns.
"I want you to meet my friend" I smile, his face drops into an annoyed look,
"Vic I don't want to meet any more of you're imaginary friends okay?" He snaps, it hurts a little but I know I've come to him before asking him to meet the friend I made up called Lennie... I was just joking around though. Scarlett is real.
"She's real Patrick!" I complain,
"Oh so it's a girl this time, last time it was.." He pauses, scratching his neck "Lennie?"
"Yeah but she's not made-up I'm going to get her right now" I snap, walking for the door,
"I'll believe you when I see it" he calls from behind, not moving from his bed. He's going to get one hell of a surprise.

I pull the door open, Scarlett's standing there still,
"Come on" I smile, taking her hand,
"Vic I-" I cut her of
"He'll love you okay?" I grin and pull her inside the dark room.
"Told you she was real" I look at Patrick who suddenly gasps and stands up from his bed, I can tell he's reading her mind from that very second.
"Oh my god.." Patrick breathes, staring at her in awe. Scarlett stands there, completely confused and scared. Trying to get me to let go of her hand. But I don't, I hold onto her because I know she won't find Patrick scary once she's spoken to him. He's like a grumpy, middle-aged man, but he looks sounds and appears to be about 29.

"H..hi" Patrick smiles. Still astonished at her. I can tell he thinks she's beautiful even if I don't have telepathy and he does.
"Um.. hi" Scarlett does her best to smile but I can tell she is a little freaked out.
"I'm Patricks.. what's your name?" he smiles,
"Scarlett" I answer for her, I always do that and I need to stop. Scarlett looks kinda relieved I answered for her though. Patrick shoots me an annoyed look, obviously wanting to speak to her.
"So you're Gerard's?" Patrick comes closer to her. That comment makes me mad. I feel myself tensing up already. Fuck.
"She's isn't anyone's... Gerard is an ass hole I say, trying to keep my tone from sounding angry,
"I know he can be an ass-hole" Patrick glances at me for a moment.

"So when did you get here?" Patrick smiled at Scarlett. Avoiding talking about Gerard any more.
"About a week ago" She mumbles,
"She got brought here" I continue, not knowing whether to say that or not. But I did. I always say too much.
"What do you mean?" Patrick frowns at me.
"Gerard kidnapped her and brought her her, I'm trying to keep her away from him" I say too much once again.
"Oh.. How didn't I know about all this?" Patrick said, still looking at me,
"Because you never leave you're room" I smirk,
"Whatever" Patrick says looking away from me and back at Scarlett.
"It's okay Scarlett you don't have to be afraid of me, Gerard's the only real twat here" Patrick smiled, Scarlett grins a bit. Then I realise.

Patrick has been smiling. He's been smiling hell of a lot.

________________________________

I'm walking back too me and Mike's room with Scarlett. We spent a while with Patrick so I figured we better go because Mike might get worried. Scarlett is quiet.
"What was your life at home like?" I say to her, breaking the silence, the question stops her, she slows down. It's like she's having a flash back or something.
"No great I guess" She shrugs
"What were you're parents like?" I persist,
"They were fine" She mumbles, completely avoiding the question. I want to know what being human was like again, it's been 120 years. I want to feel that sense of family again.
"Please tell me, I want to know what it's like to be human again" I wine
"Fine.. My parents were awful. My life at home sucked" She answered, it hurt, it hurt a lot to know she didn't like her life. What did I think with all those cuts on her arm? I didn't know what to expect.

"Why did you cut yourself Scarlett" I breathe. Getting straight to the question I'd been burning to know the answer for since the day I saw those cuts.
"Because I was alone, I was useless, I was another rejected, worthless, failure the tide washed up" It felt like somebody just ripped my heart out. Tears filled her eyes but she didn't let them fall, she looked down at the floor as she walked.
"You're none of those things, you're perfect" I breathed.

"Then tell me why I had no friends? Tell me why nobody listened? Tell me why when I was younger I would run outside and climb into a tree in our back garden just too see if my parents would come looking for me. Just to see if they cared. But they didn't, they never came looking for me unless they wanted to use me for a fucking thing to take their anger out on. I sat in that tree for hours. Nobody has probably even realised I'm gone. The world is better of without me. They didn't care at all Vic. Nobody gave a shit." She cried and I stopped walking, wrapping my arms around her waist and pulling her close. I couldn't believe what she'd just said. If I knew her as I human I'd cherish her, I'd climb up into that tree with her if that's what it took. I cupped her perfect face with my hands, making her look at me

"You might think the world is lonely and horrible sometimes but trust me Scarlett, it would be a lot more lonely and horrible without beautiful people like you in it. I care, I care so much about you I'd do anything" I whisper

Then I lean in, crashing her lips with mine. In that moment nothing mattered, Scarlett was the only thing I wanted. I swear I'd make sure she never felt worthless or any of those things again. I promised myself this as I kissed her, My warm lips against hers as she kissed me back.

_____________________(GERARD'S POV)______________________

I've been showing Ray around, telling him where to go and where not to go. Were walking down the corridor when I hear voices.
"Shh" I whisper to Ray as I peek my head round the corner. I see Scarlett and Vic. Scarlett is crying in his arms.
"You're none of those things, you're perfect" Vic breathed
"Then tell me why I had no friends? Tell me why nobody listened? Tell me why when I was younger I would run outside and climb into a tree in our back garden just too see if my parents would come looking for me. Just to see if they cared. But they didn't, they never came looking for me unless they wanted to use me for a fucking thing to take their anger out on. I sat in that tree for hours. Nobody has probably even realised I'm gone. The world is better of without me. They didn't care at all Vic. Nobody gave a shit."

Vic wrapped his arms around her waist and thought for a moment, he looked so said. I wanted to run up there and tear them apart but I needed to see what happened. Ray watched behind me. I had already told him about how Vic was stealing Scarlett. She was always going to be mine. I was going to win this. Vic cupped Scarlett's face
"You might think the world is lonely and horrible sometimes but trust me Scarlett, it would be a lot more lonely and horrible without beautiful people like you in it. I care, I care so much about you I'd do anything" Vic whispered. I was glad at this point I had amazing hearing.

Then he did something I really didn't expect. He leaned in and kissed Scarlett. She kissed him back. It made me so fucking mad, I kept calm though I was tempted to run up to Vic and kill him right there.
"So that's Scarlett?" Ray whispered behind me,
"Yeah" I growled, tensing up in anger,
"And Vic just kissed her... can't blame him I guess" What Ray was saying made me more and more mad.
"Yes" I snapped in a low growl
"Can't we just kill him now?" Ray persisted,
"No" I snapped, turning around and walking away because I couldn't take much more.
"Why?!" Ray whined, for fuck sake I wish he'd stop questioning me. I knew what I was doing.

"Because we need to do it at the right moment. Get him alone, we'll give them time to settle down and strike when he least expects it. If this goes wrong Mike will kill us both and I know it. But don't worry Ray, when it's the right moment we'll fucking tear him into a billion pieces. We'll get all the revenge we could ever want "
