Disclaimer: I have a-lot more to go but I will not post unless I get some reviews! Come on Man! Help me out here, Nothing makes me happier than a review, Pwease?
I rubbed my eyes rereading the note over and over looking to see if my eyes were playing tricks on me, I stood up holding the note delicately in the palm of my hand walking out of his room to Alexis with my bare feet nearly freezing on the cold wooden floors, I noticed I must have slept late into the day since no one was awake, I went to Alexis's chamber without knocking but pulling the wooden door open seeing the long wooden box in the center of the room, I unhooked the latch pulling it open and seeing Alexis in her hibernation state her legs curled close and her arms across her chest as if in her last resting place,
“Alexis...” I said pushing my hand inside softly shaking her shoulder,
Her eyes snapped open and her other hand gripped on mine, She realized it was me and let go, Grinning and started laughing.
“Why Hello” she said through giggles,
“Hi Sleeping Beauty, look what I found” I said handing her the note, she sat up and took the note from my hand, holding it close to her eyes as they skimmed left to right. I found my hand resting on my hip in an authoritative stance.
I saw her eyes squint as she put down the note,
“Sweet Mary and Joseph...” She whispered in her English accent, her eye brows arched in confusion.
“Please go wake up Frankie” She said lifting her legs out of the box standing up as polite as ever even though in the midst of a crisis. I shook my head pushing open the wooden door to one more familiar wooden door to another familiar wooden box, unlocking it but before I had time to pull the top off, The top was already rising and snapping over with a loud thud on the floor as Frankie jumped out with such a rush of emotion.
“Jesus Christ, Frankie!” I said jumping back in alarm feeling my racing heart,
I saw his hands fly to his head, rubbing his temples.
“I guess you already heard?” I asked feeling the paper in my hand,
“How couldn't I, You were practically screaming” He said his voice completely mono-tone, I heard the door hit against the wall and Alexis appearing already dressed, her fists clenched in back of her.
God these vampires work quickly
I thought while she approached us, her face smeared in such worry for her absent son.
“I knew this was going to happen!” Frankie yelped pointing his finger to Alexis,
“Does it really matter now?” Alexis asked her voice getting higher and higher with each word.
“My stupid brother!” He yelped,
“Your brother is not stupid just overcome at the moment, there is no reason to worry...” Alexis said,
“No reason to worry? Oh no the strongest member of our family has just run of while our rival family can attack us at any time...no reason to worry.” He said sarcastically,
“We will wait a day, if he doesn't return by night fall we will go out looking.” Alexis proclaimed turning around from Frankie obviously furious, his large hands clung into balls.
“Fuck that! I'll find the little bastard tonight” He proclaimed looking at me,
“I'm sorry Ang, But why would he do this, he is abandoning us now?” Frankie turned to me his eyes bulging and blood shot.
“I don't think he has abandoned you...” I whispered slowly,
“Huh?” Frankie grumbled
“I think he's going out to help you, not abandon you, You know of all people how Tybalt is, he takes things into his own hands, he would never purposely put a target on your forehead.” I said my voice rising, Frankie glared at me and Alexis stood around still staring at me with such intensity.
“She's right...” Alexis proclaimed,
“I never thought of that...” Frankie said rubbing his hands on his head while his vampire brain worked overtime.
“And...maybe he will come home by tonight” I paused remembering the note saying clearly 'I will be gone for a bit'
“Today we wait, get some rest and tonight we will go out and Ang...I'm sorry but you are not going out of our sight, Tybalt will be furious if we even let you sleep in the same room by yourself.” Alexis said looking to Frankie who was nodding his head in agreement.
I nodded my head also,
“Get some rest” she said and with that left, leaving me to look at Frankie's worried expression.
I could say nothing my voice was clogged in my throat and the words were not coming into my mind.
He sat down on his wooden rocking chair on the side of his room adorned with his favorite color Tudor Green. He opened his arms to me,
“Sit on my lap” he instructed me,
I followed him like a big brother and sat down on his skinny bony leg and felt his arms wrap over me, rocking in the chair and holding me.
“What say you?” He asked forgetting who he was speaking to,
I glared at him smiling,
“Sorry...” he paused
“What are you thinking?” He asked in a language that I could actually understand,
“Same thing I'm always thinking about...” I said looking down to the floor,
“And that is?” he paused,
“Tybalt” I answered plainly,
“I should of known” he answered still terribly serious not the usual Frankie smiling and grinning with a chuckle or two after each sentence.
“I still don't get it...” He said in a confused tone,
“Get what?”
“You two are defying nature it's like the shark and the dolphin, the cheetah and the gazette, The Hawk and the mouse-”
I interrupted him “The Human and the Vampire.”
He shook his head,
“Yes you both live in the same habitat and world but how is it possible for the hunter to love it's prey?” He asked,
“And it's prey to love it's hunter” I added,
“I applaud you on this one Ms. Barracks or shall I call you Mrs. Fuil?” He jested,
“I don't know, each one is as notorious” I said,
He rubbed his eyes yawning,
“Why don't you go back to sleep?” I asked him,
He shook his head,
“Gotta watch you, youngin'” He said,
“I don't need to be baby sat” I snapped back,
“No but you need to be human sat...” He stopped seeing my eyes gleaming around the room, I stood up suddenly still looking around my head on a swivel.
“What?” He asked getting up with me,
“Do you still have that lose brick?” I asked glaring at Frankie,
“Yeah Why?” He asked,
“Show it to me” I ordered,
“Okay...” he mumbled walking to a side of the room, tapping one of the bricks with his long finger nails.
I knelled down pulling at the brick, it didn't budge.
“Humans...” Frankie grunted gripping the brick pulling it out with a puff of dust and a piece of yellow paper fell onto my lap.
“Don't doubt me” I said smiling picking up the paper,
“What the?” he paused,
“Tybalt always leaves me little notes all around the house, this is one of the places” I said, unrolling the paper, the smell of Tybalt's cologne blowing into my face. I missed him so much already.
Frankie knee led down next to me as I glanced over the paper's fine calligraphy,
we both read aloud.
Good job my little soap bubble,
but I can't be impressed yet
find the next spot where I have hid a note and you will all understand,
In the room where we had our first embrace
in the room where you made my cold heart race
in the room you will find my next note in my favorite place
in the room you will find my heart on paper stating my case.
Frankie looked at me his eyes filled with confusion,
“What the fuck is this The Da Vinci Code?” He asked puzzled,
“I don't know have you found any naked guys sprawled out on your floor?” I asked sarcastically,
“I wish” he grunted as I stood up, holding the paper, going back into the past.
