What You Believe

“Are you not getting changed at mine?” Frank asked, looking over at me with a confused look. It had been 3 months since I was shot and I’ve moved back to my own apartment with Belle. I had lots of questions off of Zacky about where I had been and why I was walking with a limp. The story was that I had had to travel for work and I had tripped and fell over and did some injury to my ankle. Frank came round as often as he liked and even stopped ringing the doorbell and just turned up in my room, Twilight style.
“No. No offence but it’s your birthday so I have stuff to prepare for.” I looked at him with a smirk, as he just stared at me. “And I want my costume to be a surprise.” I shrugged as I grabbed my coffee off the counter.
“But I know what you’re dressing up as.” He whined as he followed me out of the door, smirking when I turned to glare at him.
“No you don’t. I haven’t thought about the whole time we have been near each other.” I commented smugly as he chuckled.
“Who says I wasn’t around for some of the time.” He carried on smirking as I gave him a challenging look.
“Nope you’re bluffing.” I argued back.
“Ok I am. Are you dressing up as a me?” He asked wrapping his arm around my shoulders as we walked down the street towards my apartment block.
“Nope. I’m dressing up as one from your favourite film. Twilight.” I looked up at him winking as his wide eyes looked down at me. “Complete with super sparkly body glitter for when the bright lights shine.” I smiled innocently up at him as he looked completely shocked.
“I hate that film. I’m going to tell the security if you turn up like that then your to be kicked out. Girlfriend or not.” He looked at me with a look that told me he wasn’t bluffing about that. “Please come get ready at mine. It’s my birthday and I thought we could help each other out.” He winked at me as I shook my head at him laughing.
“Nope. I’ll see you later.” I stood on my tip toes to peck him on his lips before ducking out of his arm and making my way through the door to my apartment block.

I looked at the red flashing lights on the clock at the side of my bed as I gave myself the once over in the mirror. I was wearing tight leather pants, a vest top and a leather jacket. Completing the look was my knee high boots and my subtle make-up but bright red lipstick. I wore my hair in two wavy ponytails resting down over my shoulders. I put the black ribbon choker around my neck and a matching bracelet cuff. “You ready Belle?” I shouted as I was in the front room looking at her door. She walked out in a stunning backless black lace dress, little spiked ankle boots and the cutest witches hat sat on top of her madly curled ginger hair. “How original.” I laughed as she flipped me off.
“What are you supposed to be? A dark and moody teenager?” She laughed as I smiled at her to show her the little fangs. She’d ordered me some from the suppliers she used for her costumes when we were back in England for a party that I never went too. “Oh they do look real.” She laughed as she noticed.
“I know!” I laughed along as she grabbed her bag, I checked to make sure I had everything. Phone, keys, lipstick and gun. We walked out of the house making sure everything was locked and headed off to the car.

We quickly arrived at Frank’s house, which turned out to be massive. It was about a month after I first arrived when I got to look round and it was huge. He said it was perks of being a vampire, they were good savers apparently. I mean sure they didn’t have to pay for travel expenses but still do you get turned and automatically start sectioning off parts of your pay check with the thoughts off being sensible? The house was buzzing with atmosphere and it took us a while to be found on the list of ‘approved guests’ as the guard called it. Once we were inside we saw everything was decorated in the usual Halloween style decorations, the chandeliers had cobwebs hanging off them, the glasses were black and pumpkins littered spare areas. We walked further in, not really thinking about how we were supposed to find the guys so sticking together instead. “We should just go to the bar get a drink.” I said not even bothering to look around, knowing I would be too short to see anyway.
“I think I can see Gerard, I’ll go get him and get him to get Frank. They’re probably together anyway.” Belle looked over at me as we neared the bar as I nodded at her finally finding a place at the bar.
“What can I get ya darling?” The bartender asked, he was dressed as a pretty messed up zombie causing me to smile at his costume.
“Gin and Tonic please.” I smiled looking round as he scooted off to make it, still not spotting Frank anywhere. I had a weird feeling though, one that told me something was going to happen tonight and something that shouldn’t really happen on a birthday. I didn’t know what it was but I wanted to make sure I was ready and that meant not being able to relax.
“Who you here with darling?” The bartender interrupted my surveillance of the room. One thing I knew was that you needed to know the exits and any place where others could get to for safety.
“Oh erm, my boyfriend’s throwing the party.” I smiled politely taking a sip of the drink as I notice his face falter slightly and shift away.
“Think he was scared?” I heard his soft voice ring out from behind me as I span around, his hands instantly going to my ass as I moved into him.
“Happy birthday Helsing.” I laughed as I took in his costume, my lips automatically going to his as he pulled me in closer to him and deepening the kiss. I felt his hands tighten on my ass when he felt the poke of my fangs against his lip as I pulled away.
“Oh god, have you…” He started but I cut him off by smiling revealing the small pointy things. “Oh fuck you look so… fuck. Vampire looks good on you.” He laughed nervously as he ran his hand over the back of his neck.
“Regretting the tight pants now?” I asked with my eyebrow cocked cockily at him, I turned round in his hands rubbing my ass against his crotch as I grabbed my drink.
“You might have the fangs out at the moment, just remember who is really in charge doll.” He whispered in my ear as I let out a slight moan.
