Holden laughed a little bit. He looked at Solomon with bright eyes. "Are you serious? I would love to." He said as he gave Solomon a hug. "Eherm sorry." Holden said a little embarrassed.
|
Solomon laughed, "Don't be my boy! It's perfectly fine. In fact, you may hug me whenever you wish." He winked, turning to the side and putting his fingers to his lips and whistled loudly.
Jack came running from the stables, "Yes..Solomon?" He was a bit out of breath and definitely smelled of something unpleasant. Solomon grimaced at the smell, "What happened to you?" "Well, it appears I've miscalculated Rilov's health today. He..seems to have...had an extreme bowel movement..." He looked away from the medically challenged horse, "I think it's the joint medications." Solomon sighed deeply, glancing back at the horse and was silent for a moment, then he nodded, "Call the vet, tell him the meds are making him sick. They're probably too strong, since he's still so young. Don't give him is next set of doses unless the vet says it's okay." He hopped the fence, a pretty impressive feat since it was about 5 feet high to prevent the horses from jumping it. He whistled twice, two short bursts and the young stallion came over with a nicker. Jack nodded, "Sir..what did you need from me?" He didn't look back, "Can you grab Zera's tack? I want to exercise her a bit." He nodded and hurried off. Solomon gently placed his hand on the stallion's nose, "I'm sorry about the medication." He continued to massage the horse's body, smiling as the stallion nickered a bit, lowering his head, enjoying the massage. "Perhaps I will have to put him through surgery. Oh, Holden, feel free to jump in here. These two are quite mellow around humans, considering..." He barely noted his slip, too involved with helping the horse feel better. |
Holden was still a little embarrassed. Holden felt bad for the young horse. When Solomon said to come in he looked around to find a gate. Solomon said humans he just thought he meant people. He found a gate and ran over to it so he can get in there by the horses. One thing he did know is you never walk behind a horse so he walked behind Solomon. "You are a very beautiful horse." Holden said petting his neck. "You are very beautiful to." He said looking to the female horse. He walked close to her and started rubbing her neck. He looked at Solomon, "Your horses are very nice." He said with a boyish smile.
|
Solomon smiled, "I work hard to keep them in good shape. And don't give Rilov that look. It makes him sad. Just keep a smile." He gently swatted the horse on the butt, "Now go help Jack clean up your mess." The horse hobbled off with a quiet nicker just as Jack came out. He followed Jack as he brought all the various tack pieces, setting them in the sand. "Thanks Jack. I'm sending you reinforcements."
Jack laughed slightly, grabbing the young colt by the mane and leading him inside. "I'm assuming you've never saddled a horse, either. Correct?" He gave another whistle, causing Zera to pitter-patter over,standing just a few feet from the two. |
Holden smiled at Rilov as he followed Jack back by Solomon. "You are right I have never saddled one before." He said feeling bad. "I have never done anything with horses, so that should help you figure out what I know and don't know." He said with a smile. "I really need to talk to mom about me getting a horse." Holden thought to himself while looking at Solomon.
|
Solomon laughed, "Well today I shall teach you! It's fairly easy. I'll show you and tell you what I'm doing, then take it off, and help you with it. Sound good?" Not waiting for a response, he picked up the halter, explaining what it was called and it's purpose before showing him how to put it on the horse's head. He continued this process with each tack piece, explaining it then placing it in it's proper place. After Zera was completely saddled, he swiftly removed everything, stepping aside, "You're turn. Don't worry, she'll behave."
|
"Ok." Holden said as he walked right next to Solomon. He bent down and grabbed the halter, he put it on like he was shown. He continued putting on the items like he was shown. After he put on the reins on he looked at Solomon. "Well how did I do?" Holden said very pleased with himself. "I have a photographic memory." He said pointing to his head and giving Solomon a wink.
|
Solomon inspected his work carefully, placing his hands under the saddle on the pressure points and checking the bit, the girth, this and that. After a moment he quickly undid the girth and slide the saddle back just a hair, "It was a bit forward, but other than that, it was perfect." He quickly tightened the girth, double checking to make sure the saddle wouldn't go anywhere.
It was apparent that Zera was excited for this. Her ears were all over the place and she would not stop nickering. "Now be nice Zera, he's new to this." Solomon stood a few inches behind the stirrup, lacing his fingers, "Alright. You're going to put your left hand on the saddle and your right on my shoulder. Then you're going to put your left foot in my hand and boost yourself up while swinging your right over her back. When you sit down, try to not flop, but sit gently." He nodded once, "You ready?" |
Holden nodded as he walked close to Solomon. He put his right arm on the saddle and his left hand on Solomon's shoulder. He put his left foot in Solomon's hand and started to lift himself up, he started to swing his right leg over the horse and sat down gently. He put his feet in the stirrups and looked down to Solomon. "This is already exhilarating." He said with a very sweet smile. "I am ready to do this." He said grabbing the reins.
|
"Eh, eh, not yet. We have to adjust your stirrups and damn Zera stop bloating." He poked her belly, causing her to exhale the extra air. He adjusted the girth then proceeded to the stirrups. He double checked everything once more, then stepped aside, "Pardon me if my instructions are..complicated. I don't normally teach absolute beginners. This'll be a learning experience for the both of us.
"Now, to get your horse to walk, just gently tap her belly with both heels. Too hard and you'll send her running and you'll fall, but too soft and she'll just ignore you. Sometimes if a horse is being stubborn, you can say 'Walk' as you gently kick their sides. Sometimes a horse is more vocal than touch. Zera is fine with either or both, but it's good to get in the habit of speaking and doing the motion. Go ahead." |
Holden nodded and listened to Solomon. He looked forward and said "Walk." As he taped her belly with his heels. She started to move and he was so excited, he felt like a little child.
|
"Careful Holden. Zera is very sensitive to emotion. If you get too riled up, you won't be able to control her...and if you get nervous, she will as well. So just tone it down a notch." He laughed, whistling loudly once. The horse's ears perked up and she picked up her pace from her dragging walk to a more energetic walk.
"That's better. Now to turn your horse, you gently pull on the rein that you want to go. So if you want to turn right, you bring your right hand back towards your wrist." He did the motion a few times with his right, then his left, "Same for left. Again, pressure will vary. Just be careful to not be too rough or you'll make her mouth very sore. Now, I use rubber bits for every day riding, since they're gentler on the mouth. So if you do get a little rough on accident, she should make it out unharmed for the most part. Go on, do a few circles. Feel how she moves and move with her." |
Holden looked at Solomon to see his motions. "How did he know I was excited?" He thought to himself as he gently pulled the reins to make her go right. He smiled knowing that he was riding a horse. "Ah so much fun." He said as he had her turn left.
|
Solomon smiled, leaning on the fence watching him. He crossed his arms over his chest, "Now you're not ready to trot, but in a few days we'll be ready for that. Now to stop, if you ever need to, just gently pull back on both reins and say 'Whoa' or 'Ho' for short. Just practice that; stopping, going; turning. Just enjoy the ride."
He smiled slightly, watching him. He could feel Holden's happiness rolling over the arena. It felt good to make someone this happy. As a vampire, he wasn't usually the one making the other happy. He dearly wanted to saddle up Rilov and ride him, but with his knees, it made him so nervous. He would never forgive himself if he caused that majestic creature anymore pain. After awhile, Solomon stood forward, his arms still crossed, "Hey Holden, when's your birthday by the way? I'm just curious..oh! How old are you as well? You never told me." |
Holden did as he was told, he pulled back gently and said "Woah". The horse stopped and he wanted to jump up and down but knew it would hurt the horse. "Umm today is the 12th right? Ya it is never mind, this Friday the 15th is my birthday, I will be twenty-one." Holden said with a smile as he turned the horse to go by Solomon. "Woah." He said as he gently pulled back on the reins. "How do I get down?" He asked looking around.
|
Solomon laughed as he came over, "You can't yet. Zera needs to be fully exercised to keep up her stamina. Ah I'm kidding. Just lean forward and do the backwards of getting up. It's a bit of a long way down, but don't worry, I'm here to catch you." He winked, stepping over ready to help him down, "Oh, make sure your feet are out of the stirrups...you'll regret if they remain in."
|
Holden smiled as he took his right foot out of the stirrup and used his left foot to help himself sit up. Holden swung his right leg over and landed on the ground he pulled his left foot out. He stumbled a bit but got his balance back right away. He walked up to Solomon and looked him right in the face. "For making this the best date ever, I wanna give you something." He said as he grabbed Solomon's waist and pulled him into a deep kiss.
"Oh my... Holden Michael Evans! What in the hell do you think your doing?" A woman yelled. Holden jumped and broke the kiss. "Fuck." He said under his breath. "Hello mom, and Amanda." He said with a ashamed tone in his voice. "Get your ass over here now you are coming home this instant." She said stomping her foot. "Mom I'm twenty years old you can't tell me what to do." He said looking at Solomon. "You live in my house, also if you don't stop this foolishness now you are out of the will." She said very angry. "Fine mom." He said looking at Solomon. "I'm sorry, but here call me or visit me anytime." He said pulling out a marker and writing on Solomon's hand. He started to walk away and gave him a wink. |
Solomon was slightly taken aback by the kiss, but certainly enjoyed it while it lasted. He glanced over at the woman he called his mother. He was very irritated that this woman had interrupted their date. He was not through with his time with Holden.
He snapped his fingers twice, and suddenly the horse whinnied and charged the fence, but avoiding Solomon and Holden. It was an intimidation thing, and a distraction. "Sorry Holden, but I'm not through with you yet" When Zera had came by, he quickly undid the reins, his hands and body moving so fast he was a blur the humans. He wouldn't want her to trip now, right? He dropped the reins, and while the horse bucked and charged the fence where Holden's mother and little sister were standing, kicking up loads of dust, Solomon jumped forward, grabbing Holden and picking him up, swinging his legs up so his other arm would rest under his knees. He winked at the boy, "Not a good first impression on your mother, but dammit she had to interrupt us." He quickly turned around, using Zera as a shield as he ran to the other side of the arena, quite quickly at that, and jumped the fence with a simple leap. As he cleared the fence, he gave a loud whistle, causing the horse to finally settle down. He took Holden to an area off limits to carnival guests and set him down, peering around the corner of the build, "Well! That was exhilarating!" |
Before he knew what has going on he was in a area within seconds. "Did you just jump that fence carrying me?" Holden said pointing at the fence. "Shit I'm definitely gonna be out of the will now." Holden said grabbing his knees almost starting to hyperventilate. He looked back up at Solomon, "How in the hell did you do that?" He asked starting to hyperventilate. "I... I... Am so dead." He said in between breaths.
|
Solomon bit his lip, "I'm sorry..it was..impulse." He placed a hand on Holden's shoulder, "Look, I can take you back, if you really want to." Now he felt bad. Damn his impulsive behavior. Now Holden would most likely get in trouble with his mother, and he knew she was not past ditching him from the will. "Perhaps..I could talk to her.."
He glanced back to the area, able to see it perfectly with his heightened vision. Jack was already taking Zera inside to untack and groom her, "Good, he got to her before the fair people." He sighed, leaning against the building and letting his legs collapse, slowly sliding to the ground. |
Holden sighed gaining his ability to breath again. "No it's fine. I will go back in a second." He said walking close to Solomon. "Now listen to me please, that was very sweet of you." He said with a sweet smile. "Even thought the ride to my car will be hell." He said with another sigh. "I know my dad he won't let her cut me out of the will over me kissing someone." He said lifting Solomon's head up. "It was a great kiss." He said with a wink and leaned in for another. He broke the kiss after a few seconds. "I have to go now but I will see you tomorrow, or tonight your choice." Holden said with a wink as he ran off to go find his mother. "I hope she doesn't call the police." He said running up to her. "Mom I'm sorry." he said as he approached her.
"Holden Michael Evans you are in so much trouble." She said grabbing his arm very hard and started to drag him to her car. |
Solomon sighed as he left, I'm going to definitely have some words with that woman one of these days. He finally stood, brushing the dust off him from the fiasco in the arena. He rolled his eyes, watching Holden and his mother walk by. His hands were deep in his pockets as he watched quietly. Perhaps...I won't make this a one night thing. He really is a sweet boy.
He smiled slightly, calmly strolling back to the stables, standing a few yards away, "Jack! You in there?" Soon the man came out, "Yeah?" "She alright? Luckily I got Holden off before she went nuts." He sighed, "And cut the reins so she wouldn't hurt herself." Jack nodded, wiping his brow, "Yeah, she's fine now. Something must've spooked her. You going to head out then?" He nodded, turning on his heel to walk away. "Oh! See what you can find in the listings...Alright? Nothing mega fancy, but I don't want a dog either. I trust your judgment." He held up his hand, his index, middle finger, and thumb were extended and his other two fingers were folded in. He gave a quick twist of his wrist and continued onward to the entrance. "Now for a marvelous walk home,," he said with sarcasm. Now, he could easily just teleport, but why waste the energy? He was in no rush. He was just saddened that he couldn't spend more time with Holden. He pulled his pack of cigarettes from his breast pocket, and a lighter. He pulled one out, lit it up, replaced the packet, and took a long drag. What a day |
Holden's mother threw Holden in the car, she helped Amanda in. She got in and started the car. "You young man are to never see that guy again. If you do I will write you out of the will faster than you can say sorry." She said as she sped away. "How dare you embarrass me and your father like that huh?" She said punching the steering wheel. "When we get home you are grounded, you can only leave the house to go to work that is it." She said giving him the evil eye.
"Fine mother." Holden said slightly irritated. "No it's not fine. You disgust me." She said as she stopped at a stop sign. She turned to him and slapped him hard across the face. "Fuck!" He yelled grabbing his cheek. "You should be glad that's the only thing I'm doing to you, wait until your father hears about this." She said as she started driving again. "When I get you to your car you will go straight home, and I will follow you." She said still very angry. "Whatever." He said looking out the window still holding his cheek. She pulled up behind his car and waited for him to start moving. Holden got out and walked to his car and got in. He looked at his phone quickly and saw twenty missed calls, ten voicemails, and thirty texts. "Wow she has been busy." He said starting his car, he quickly texted Alicia telling her to come over to his house in an hour. He put his phone down and headed home. |
Solomon gently put his hand to his cheek with a frown, How dare she lay a hand on him? I will definitely be speaking with her. He lowered his hand, looking at the address and number written on his pale flesh. Perhaps I will be doing that tonight A devilish smile came across his face. He was going ot have fun, but he had to be careful. He didn't want Holden angry with him.
After about an hour or so, he finally reached his apartment. He sighed, pulling out his key and unlocking the door and stepping inside. He ran his hand through his hair with a deep sigh. He looked around idly, and decided he would take a shower and get the dirt form his hair. He stepped into the bathroom, quickly undressing and hopping in..well not literally of course. |
Holden heard his phone buzzing in his cup holder. He grabbed it and read the text.
"What's wrong? Whenever you tell me to be at your house at a certain time something's up." Alicia said. He put his phone back in the cup holder. He sighed, "Well this day was perfect before my mother showed up." He said rubbing his cheek. *** Holden was sitting in his room waiting for his dad and Alicia. "Hopefully she shows up before dad does." He said as he heard a knock on his door. "Come in." He said pulling his knees up to his chest. "Sweety what's wrong?" Alicia asked walking in. He sighed "Well all was great until my mom showed up." Alicia closed the door, and walked over to sit on the bed. "What happened?" "Well, um, me and Solomon were having a nice time. He owns horses you know." He said trying to think of how to explain it to her. "Ya that's one reason that I chose him for you." She said with a smile. Holden slightly smiled, "We went to the fair, and he let me ride his horse," He paused. "Not that kind of horse. Anyway after riding the horse for a few minutes I got down and gave him a kiss. And of course that's when my mother showed up." He said banging his head into the wall. "I wasn't thinking that way, but that was so sweet of him." Alicia said patting Holden on his knee. She looked at his cheek. "What happened to your cheek?" She asked getting up and looking closer at it. "My mom." He said downtrodden. "She hit you?" She asked getting angry. "Ya it's no big deal." Holden said trying to stop her from yelling at his mom. "Yes it is a big deal, that's child abuse." She said clenching her fists. "I'm not a child anymore." Holden said wanting to just disappear. "You may be twenty but its still child abuse." She said. "Please Alicia don't make this any harder than it already is." He said looking at her. She sighed, "Fine but the next time she hit's you I am calling the police." She said sitting back on the bed. "Ok, can I have a hug?" He asked letting go of his knees. "Of course you can." She said standing up and giving him a hug. Holden heard a knock on his door again. "Shit its dad, I will talk to you later." He said shooing her away. "You better." She said kissing Holden on the forehead and walked to the door. "Hello Mr. Evans. "Evening Alicia." He said with a straight face. "Holden your mother told me what happened at the fair today." He said closing the door. "I'm sorry dad." Holden said grabbing his knees again. "Why are you sorry?" He said sitting down on the bed. "Because I'm gay." Holden said looking down at his knees. "I know you are." Mr. Evans said with a smile. "Wait you know? Since when?" Holden asked darting his head up. "Um since you were ten I think." He said looking up and putting his index finger on his chin. "But how?" Holden asked surprised. "No offense but you always had more friends that were girls instead of boys." He said giving Holden a reassuring look. "I can't believe you knew all these years." Holden said slightly happy. "Ya, and I am happy for you." He said with a smile. "Thank you dad." Holden said loosening his grip on his knees. "You welcome son, and I am giving you your birthday present now." He said grabbing an envelope out of his jacket. He handed it to Holden. "What is this?" Holden asked grabbing the envelope. "Just open it." He said with a smile. Holden opened the envelope and saw a check. "What's this?" He asked pulling out the check and looking at it. Holden's eyes went wide. "It's part of you inheritance. Keep looking in the envelope." He said smiling. Holden opened the envelope more and saw a key. "What is with the key?" Holden asked grabbing it out of the envelope. Mr. Evans smiled. "It's for your new apartment." He said. "Really? Oh my gosh thank you dad." Holden said hugging his dad. "Your welcome, now tomorrow the movers will be here to help you." He said hugging Holden back. "Also I want you to be happy no matter if your gay, or straight." He said with a smile. "Now start packing." He said gently punching Holden on the shoulder. "I will dad, and thank you again." Holden said with a smile. When his dad left he got up and started to pack. {54.31 gold biatch xD} |
Solomon kept himself busy for only a few hours. He didn't want to keep Holden waiting. He sighed, remembering the tingling on his cheek when Holden's mother hit the boy. Being telepathically connected to him did have its downsides. Although, he was able to learn that the boy's father was proud of him, and was giving him an apartment of his own. Oh goody! Private time~ He smiled a bit, he always monitored his friends; even though he rarely made any.
After quite some time Solomon went downstairs and to the complex's parking lot. He paused in front of three vehicles: a black motorcycle, an imported mainly illegal parts black sports car and a very nice jet black corvette. He pondered a moment. He didn't want to mess up his hair, but he thought Holden would love a ride on that; the imported car was currently pinned and a cop would pull him over the second he left the lot; and the vet was in need of a wash. Decisions, decisions, decisions. [Screw you ;D] |
Holden sighed sitting on his bed. He grabbed his phone to call Alicia. He dialed her number. "Hey Alicia." He said with a smile.
"Hey sweety, so what did your dad say?" She asked getting to the point. "Well he gave me half of my inheritance, and a apartment. He also knew I'm gay." He said leaning back on his bed. "Oh my gawd that is so cool Holden." She said with a squeal. Holden laughed, "Ya it is but I have to go, I need to finish packing. The moving truck will be here tomorrow." He said smiling. "Ok sweety, call me back later." She said hanging up the phone. "I will." He said putting the phone down and went back to packing. |
"Oh I'll just walk." With that, he glanced around making sure no one else was around and that he was in the blind spot of the the lot camera. With a quick thought, he vanished.
Milliseconds later, he appeared in Holden's back yard. He hurried behind a tree, just so no one could peer out the window and see him there. He then extended his mind over the property, noting were each family member was, and quickly found Holden's room. He grinned devilishly, Hellloo~ He peered around again, just to make sure he didn't miss anything, then hurried over to the correct wall. He looked up to the second floor window which should be connected to Holden's room. There was no way a human could get to it without a ladder, but that's okay. Solomon was no human. He quickly checked everyone's positions again, then jumped up. He landed crouched precariously on the sill, knowing there was no way a human would manage to stay attached to the small 2 inch or so surface, but with him having that nice little power of telekinesis, he was perfectly safe. He crouched down, his one hand holding onto a protrusion so make it appear more likely that he was able to hold on humanly. He took his free hand, knocking quietly on the window and with a singsong voice he said, Oh Hooollddddeeennn~" |
Holden jumped when he heard a knock on his window. "Solomon!" He said running to his window. He opened it, "How did you get up here?" Holden asked helping Solomon in. When Solomon was in all the way Holden gave him a hug and a passionate kiss.
|
Solomon smiled, climbing in with Holden's help. He held Holden close even after the kiss, "I'm just special like that." He looked around, noticing the bags, "Aw, are you running away? What'cha packing for?" He let him go, sifting through his items, "Oh pardon my nosiness. I'm curious about what makes you tick."
After casually going through one suitcase, he turned to look back at Holden, then around the room. He stepped over, gently touching Holden's cheek, "Did she hit you?" His face showed his dismay, "That is unacceptable." |
Holden took in Solomon's smell and it was intoxicating. "I'm not running away my dad got me an apartment for my birthday." He said with a smile. Holden laughed when Solomon started rummaging through his stuff. "It's ok." He said with a smile. He jumped slightly when Solomon touched his cheek. "No it's fine, I've had worse for being gay." He said looking up at Solomon putting on a smile.
|
"Oh the privacy~" He whirled around, listening the the footsteps on the floor below, "She's lucky I was not there to see it.." He clenched his fists, seething silently. With a sigh, he turned around, grabbing Holden's waist and pulling him into a hug, "I will never let another hurt you again...ever" He gave Holden a quick kiss on the lips, turning around, "Damn that woman. It's like she has a Solo-dar."
He narrowed his eyes, looking around. Ah! The closet! He gave Holden another kiss then hurried inside, shutting the door and quickly making a little hole for himself to hide in. |
Holden stood there when Solomon went to hide in the closet. "What in the world?" He asked as he heard a knock on his door. He looked at the door, and before he could say come in the door opened. He sighed seeing his mother. "What mom?" He said turning away.
"Don't you use that tone with me." She said crossing her arms. "Well mom, I will be out of your hair tomorrow and you don't have to worry about me disappointing you." Holden said looking out the window. "You will always disappoint me Holden. You may have your father fooled but not me." She said walking close to him. "What the hell does that mean?" He asked stepping back from her. "I don't care if you marry a nice woman and have three beautiful kids, I will always remember you making out with a whore of a man in public." She said uncrossing her arms. "He is not a whore mom he is a kind and gentle man. You would know that if you weren't such a close minded bitch." Holden said feeling a new sense of power. "You cannot talk to me like that, I am your mother!" She said stomping her foot. "I don't have a mother." Holden said turning to her. "You little slut how dare you say that, you are so ungrateful." She said. "How dare you call your only son a slut? Huh answer me that mom, how is it gonna feel knowing that when you die the only reason I will be at your funeral is so I can spit on your grave." He said getting very angry. "You fucking faggot how dare you?" She said walking so she was right in front of Holden. "How dare I? How dare you call me a faggot?" Holden asked looking down on his supposed mother. "My house I can call you what ever I want, and do what ever I want to you." She said wiping her hand on her pants. "It's not your house its dads." Holden said knowing that she was gonna hit him again. "It's mine just as much as it is his." She said. "That's a lot of..." He said as she slapped him again. "Oh god please don't come out Solomon." He thought. "Evelin!" Holden's dad yelled standing in the doorway. "Steve." She said whirling around quickly. "How could you do that to him? He's our son and your treating him like an animal." He said walking into the room. "He deserves to be treated like an animal." She said angry that Steven was defending Holden. "If he does then so do you. Get you goddamn ass out here now! We need to talk." He said very angry. "This isn't over Holden." His mother said walking out with a huff. "Listen Holden I'm sorry." Steven said with a sad look on his face. Holden nodded holding his cheek. When his door was shut he fell to the ground and pulled his knees up to his chest ready to cry. |
Solomon bit his lip until it bled. He knew that Holden would only get in more trouble if he jumped out now. He shook with anger, but remained in the closet. Once it was clear, he opened the door, his face pure fury, "Holden!" He rushed over to him pulling him close in a hug. "Calm down Holden, it'll be alright."
He glared hearing his parents just hit the stairs. Suddenly there was a crashing noise as he pushed Evelin with his telekinesis down the stairs. She deserved so much more, but that would raise suspicion. For now, it could just be that she slipped. He held Holden in place, a slight glare still on his face as his father and sister clamored to help her up. She would be having a very bad rest of the day and he would ensure it. |
Holden heard someone fall down the stairs but didn't care. He felt safe in Solomon's arms. He looked at Solomon "Let's go somewhere, anywhere but here," He thought for a second. "The park let's go to the park." He said trying to sake off what just happened. Holden let go of his knees and stood up. "Wait here I will get you a ladder." Holden said kissing Solomon on the cheek. Holden shut the door and saw his mother on the floor, he walked down the stairs and over his in pain mother. "Dad I'm going out I wont be late." He said grabbing his jacket.
Holden went out the door and went to the shed, he grabbed a ladder and brought it to his window. He leaned it up against the house. "Ok Solomon." He said holding the ladder steady. |
Solomon nodded, "Of course, anything you want." He lot Holden go so he could jump out the window while he went to get the ladder. He waited until the door was closed then went to the open window, crawling out and jumping down. No sane human would be stupid enough to try this, but Solomon really enjoyed jumping out windows. The fall was quite fun.
He landed in a crouched position on the grass, quickly stepping aside as He heard Holden coming around with the ladder, quickly standing up and and stepping out of the way so Holden would not see him immediately. He shoved his hands in his pockets, waiting until the ladder was propped against the house before moving into view, "Boo." |
Holden jumped a little bit when he heard Solomon behind him. "What? How?" he asked letting go of the ladder. He shook his head, "There's something your not telling me." He said looking at Solomon with his head cocked. He shrugged and grabbed his arm, "Come on my car is out front." He said with a smile. His cheek still burned but he didn't care much. "This is my favorite park, its very calming and beautiful." Holden said as he reached his car. He opened the door for Solomon and ran to his side of the car and got in. He sighed as he started the car. After ten minutes he pulled into the park and went to where he met Alicia earlier that day. "Isn't it beautiful?" Holden asked as he stopped. "Come, let's go sit on the table." He said getting out of the car.
|
Solomon shrugged, "I'm just highly skilled." He followed Holden to the car, not like he had a choice as he was being dragged. As they pulled up to the park, he nodded, getting out of the car after Holden. "Indeed it is." He followed Holden to the table and sat down.
He looked down at the table, lacing his fingers and resting his hands on the table. He bit his lip again, almost splitting it before he looked to Holden. "I don't normally do this the first time I meet someone, but..I feel that I have to tell you.." He sighed deeply, "I haven't been entirely honest with you." He looked up to Holden, his eyes appearing to be a darker blue now, "I'm not here on vacation. I move back and forth between England and America every 4 years or so.." He watched as Holden's face became a bit confused. He took a breath, quickly lighting a cigarette and taking a drag before finishing, "I don't stay in any one place for too long as I'm sure someone would notice that I don't..well.." He took another drag, running his hand shakily though his hair. "I don't age. There. Dammit Holden I'll be straight with you." He looked Holden dead in the eyes, his own flashing red for a few seconds before turning to their traditional icy blue, "Holden..I'm a vampire." His eye twitched. He had never flat out told someone. Either he up and left or decided to make a meal out of it. |
Holden was confused, but he sat there listening to Solomon. His eyes widened a little when he said that he was a vampire. "I think that this is what Alicia meant by that he's out there." He thought to himself. "Show me." Holden said slightly intrigued. As he said that another car pulled up. It was Alicia.
She got out and ran over to Holden. "Holden thank god your ok. I saw the ambulance at your house, and your car was gone and I thought you'd be here." She said giving him a hug. She stepped back and saw that he was confused, plus his cheek was beat red. "She hit you again didn't she? That bitch I'm gonna suck her dry." She stopped looking at Holden. "Um anyway as long as your ok." She said with a smile. Holden hugged her back, but got really confused when she said "Suck her dry." "Wait did you just say suck her dry?" He asked feeling like he was in a TV show. "No I didn't." She said waving her hands. "Yes you did, are you saying your a vampire to?" He asked scooting back on the table. "You told him?" She asked looking at Solomon. "Well I guess that means you really like him." She said while she pondered. "You two are pulling my leg, there's no such thing as vampires." He said still scooting back on the table. He didn't know that he reached the end of the table and he pushed himself back again and went flying off of the table. His arm hit the seat snapping in half. Holden landed on the ground and cried out in pain, grabbing his arm. "Ahh my arm!" He yelled writhing on the ground. |
Solomon was about to do something when he saw Alicia come over, "Dammit girl, you just won't leave me be." He frowned standing up and running his hands through his hair, "Alicia..watch your mouth.." It was too late. Holden was piecing it together, but he didn't quite believe it. He was about to catch Holden, noticing how close to the edge he was, but the boy was just out of reach, "Holden!"
He hurried to that side of the table, getting on his knees and forcing Holden up, "Relax, it's just broken." To him, broken bones were no issue, "Ali, can you make sure no one comes over? They don't need to see what I'm going to do next." Solomon examined Holden's arm, using his telekinesis to assess the damage below the skin. Nothing extreme. He then wrapped the invisible force around Holden's bones, "This is going to hurt..a lot. Try not to scream. Okay?" Yeah, right. Of course he's going to scream. Oh well. Suddenly the force tightened on his wrist, forcing the bones in their appropriate places. Next, his cells went into overdrive, repairing the arm's affected area in seconds, dispelling the pain and any evidence that his arm was ever broken. Solomon released Holden's arm, glancing at the boy before standing up. "As for the ambulance Ali, I pushed Evelin down the stairs after she hit him. I would love to just rip her apart..but, I don't think Holden would like that," he spoke in such low tones, barely moving his lips, that only Ali could hear him with her increased senses. "Don't hurt her though...I will deal with her in my own way. If she continues, then we can perhaps do something about it." |
