No not usually." Alicia said with a concerned look on her face. "I don't know either Solomon, something is not right with the person at the door." She said trying to feel for more information.
"Oh come now Holden I have a right to see me niece and nephew." A tall black hared woman said. "Not when you are threatening to take me to court, saying I am mentally incompetent." Holden said with a frown. "My brother didn't know what he was doing when he put you in charge of his estate." She said as two men stepped in front of her. A blonde hared man, and a brown hared man. "How dare you say that about my father, now leave before I call the police." He said standing firm. The blonde hared man stepped forward even more and quickly punched Holden in the gut. Holden fell to his knees, "Solomon don't you leave that dinning room." He said holding his gut. "Really? You are a vampire and your don't know how to fight?" She said with a slight frown. "Eric, Jackson. Take care of him." She said pointing to Holden. "So you are a vampire, and you are human."He said pointing to the brown hared man first and then the blonde hared man. "Now get out of my house!" Holden said standing up, his power was rising. His eyes turned red as the blonde hared man went for him. He quickly grabbed the mans arm and swiftly broke it. "NOW!" Holden said as the air around him got dense. |
Solomon sighed, peering into the dinning room, "Excuse us, it appears we have an unwelcome guest. Just ignore us, okay Alexander?" He smiled slightly and went over to the door, his arms crossed. He kept his power low and 'weak' for now; making it seem like he was also a younger vampire. He couldn't help but snort a chuckle sensing how weak the other vampire really was, "I would suggest you three leave now."
He walked up to Holden, gently laying a hand on his shoulder, "And you need to calm down. We have two humans in the other room. I don't want to deal with the Council after you again for revealing us to them. Go enjoy the meal, I will take care of these..." He smiled a bit, moving Holden away from the door, "..imbeciles." Alexander tilted his head a bit, hearing some yelling, "I'm sorry..I should've declined the offer to come...I think I've upset the..balance of the household." He couldn't hear what was being said, and only assumed it was about him. After all, that's how it was before he moved out and at school. He was always causing some sort of trouble, even if he did nothing wrong. |
"No sweety it isn't you. He always has uninvited guests show up. Plus I invited you." Alicia said knowing the voice.
Holden smile evilly as Solomon said he would take care of them, "Fine, but don't make to much of a mess please." He said as he walked to the dinning room. "Holden I will see you in court." The woman said peering in. "You have fun with that Aunt Trish." Holden said as he leaned on the dinning room door frame. "Why is Auntie Trish here?" Amanda asked when she saw Holden. "She is just mad that, dad left me with about $350 million." He said as he watched Solomon. "Oh." She said looking down, thankful it wasn't about her. "Yup, but Solomon is taking care of it." Holden said with a smile. "And Alexander, none of this is your fault." He said glancing at Alexander. |
Alexander nodded, looking down a bit, "If you say so..3-3-3.." He stared at Holden, "$350 million!? Oh..my..gosh.." He thought he was going to faint.
Solomon grabbed Trish's face as she peered it, gently, yet forcibly, pushing her back out of the doorway, "Please don't make me ask again," his eyes flashed red with a soft hiss, "I won't be so kind the second time." His hands went right for his pockets as he watched them. |
"Plus I own 50% of my dad's law firm, this house, and the one in America." Holden said glancing back at Solomon.
"Tell my nephew I will see him in court. Eric, Jackson, lets go." She said as she wiped her face with her sleeves. She turned around and went to her car. Holden put his hand on his forehead in a woe is me manner, "Thank you for coming to my rescue Solomon." Alicia sat there slightly pissed. "Holden why must you always have trouble?" She asked. |
Solomon frowned, "B-but..I..aw hell!" He turned in a huff, he used a bit of telekinesis to make the tires on their car explode, "You have to walk cause I don't like you three." He shut the door and came up to Holden with a devious grin, "I will always be there to rescue my princess~" He winked, then suddenly remembered they had a guest. He peered over Holden, "Well then.."
Alexander stared, his mouth wide open just like his eyes, "Ah....ah..." His left eye twitched. What. The. Fuck. |
"And what should the reward be for my prin...ce..." Holden said looking over to Alexander. He cleared his throat, "Um back to dinner." He said as he went back to his chair. He sat down, everyone was staring at him. He went to eat his chicken.
"Excuse me Alexander." Alicia said as she stood up and walked over to Holden. She grabbed him by the ear, and started to pull him away. "Not the ear, please." He said as he got up and followed Alicia. Alicia threw him into a empty room and closed the door behind her. "Honestly can't you keep it in you pants for five FUCKING seconds?" She asked yelling slightly. "And then your damn Aunt comes here and ruins dinner. You should feel oh sooo lucky right now, cause if it wouldn't leave a mark I would slap you." She said really pissed. She stormed out of the room and went to the dinning room, she went in and sat down. Her face was so red from anger. Holden stood there for a few seconds and went back to the dinning room. He sat down but pushed his plate away from himself. He drank his glass of wine in seconds. |
Solomon sat down, keeping his eyes off Holden and Alex. "Sorry Holden..but hey..if you've got a tinge of anger..." He had to really force himself not to grin at the thought of angry sex. He cleared his face of his dirty thoughts and took a sip of wine as he looked at Alexander, "So, Alex, what sort of things do you like to do? Alicia didn't say much about you earlier."
He shrugged, swallowing the piece of chicken, "Not much really...my main interest is photography. I occasionally dapple into sketching, but I'm no good at it." He took a drink of water, "Alicia told me that both you and Holden are quite proficient in many forms of art. Is that correct?" |
"I have more embarrassment then anger." Holden said as he went to get the bottle of wine. "I really wish I could get drunk." He said when he thought he was far enough away from the dinning room. He grabbed the wine and went back into the dinning room. He sat down and poured himself some as he heard Alexander ask about art.
"I'm a painter, I draw too. I got accepted into Slade School of Fine Art. But I can't go." He said looking down. "Maybe after dinner I can show you some of my paintings." Holden said feeling very small right now. Alicia mumbled quietly to herself, trying to work out her anger. |
Solomon shot Alicia a glare, his eyes red only for a brief second; much to fast for Alexander to see. He then looked at Alexander with a slight smile, "I do all forms of art, really. I have nothing better to do, it seems. I've dropped out of it though, due to the damn horses needing so much attention..ahh no..crap, Holden, after supper I have to check on Rilov; it's his first day in the pasture since the surgery and I want to make sure he's doing okay." He took a few bites of the chicken while he waited for responses.
Alexander shuddered, "Horses...creepy things they are..they..stare at you. Either way, you're right, they require a lot of care. Do you breed or just have them?" "I bred only once; not really favoring it. I mainly race my Quarter horse, Zera. I was planning on getting Rilov; a thoroughbred, on the track, but he's had issues with his knees so he can't." He shrugged. |
"Ok, tell Kali I will be by tomorrow." Holden said not looking up. "Jason, when your done eating you can go watch TV. Amanda and Hayden you finish your homework when your done. I think I'm going to go lay down." He said grabbing the bottle of wine. He quickly hugged it to his body, "It was nice meeting you Alexander." Holden said as he quietly left the room.
"Why did you make daddy sad Alicia?" Jason asked as he watched Holden leave. "I didn't make him sad." Alicia said coldly. |
Solomon cleaned up the table as the kids went off to do their own thing. He sighed a bit, watching Holden go, "Go apologize ot him right now Alicia. This is your fault." He went outside to the garage, still having the keys to the BMW. He got in, started it up and peeled out, heading towards his Manor.
Alexander sighed, "You still didn't have to yell at him like that Alicia...it was uncalled for. While creepy and not for the dinner table, him and Solomon were just having fun. Thank you for dinner, but I'll be off. I've got entrance papers to write...see you soon?" He stood with a slight smile, giving Alicia a quick hug, and headed out, opting to walk home. Hayden took a detour and followed Holden with a frown, "Holden...what's wrong?" She sat next to him on the bed, her icy eyes looked at him with some concern. |
Holden sat on the bed resting against the headboard. "Its just that Alicia has never yelled at me like that before. And then to top it off my Aunt is gonna take me to court because she didn't get crap in my dad's will, and she is probably gonna try and take Amanda away from me as well." He said taking a long drink of wine. "Why can't vampires get drunk? I mean it is quite sad that we can drink soo much and we don't get drunk." He said placing the bottle on the nightstand. He looked at Hayden and gave her a hug, he started to cry. "I don't know what I would do if I lost Amanda, or any of you." Holden said in between tears.
Alicia sat there slightly flabbergasted, "Ya hopefully soon." She said while she sat there after Alexander gave her a hug. "Ok why is his Aunt showing up my fault?" She asked not moving. |
Hayden held him lightly, "Holden..pl-please don't cry. I-I have an idea!" She sat up straight, a small smile on her face, "I-I can take c-care..of them..yeah? T-then you don't ha-have to worry...about loosing..Amanda? P-please Holden? Solomon doesn't like to see you sad and..neither do I." She gave him a light squeeze, "A-and I can..u-um..what's it called..it's like...shape-shifting, but with people..so they...could never..track..me."
|
Holden was surprised with what Hayden said, "No Hayden, I could never let you do that. Plus Solomon would get very mad at you, and probably me for letting you do that." He said wiping his tears away. He stopped crying and had an idea, "Could you possibly teach me how to do that? I'm not sure if I can fight but I'm sure I can do something. After all I almost killed my mother, and that was when I was human." He said looking at Hayden.
|
Hayden shook her head, "I don't have enough power to teach you properly, and if it's not done right you could end up..well..just being a mass of...stuff..nasty stuff." She sighed a bit, looking at him with sad eyes, "S-Solo won't know it was me..I can be sneaky. I-I promise I..won't...'be bad'," as she called it. She never really remembered the events during her crazes but she was able to figure them out through Solomon. "I'll j-just plug my nose."
|
Holden quickly picked up Hayden and set her on his lap, "This is a little more comfortable. I couldn't let you do that, Solomon would find out, and you know that." He said with a sigh. "I will talk to Solomon when he gets back, and I will see what he says. I would rather him not be mad at either one of us. Ok?" He said as he gave her another hug. "You and Solomon always make me feel better at least somewhat." Holden said with a smile as he let Hayden go. "Promise me that you wont do anything, until I talk to Solomon. Pinky promise?" Holden said holding out his pinky.
|
Hayden tilted her head back so she could look up at him while he spoke. Eventually, she nodded, wrapping her pinky around his, "Okaayyy...fine...b-but if they make you sad again...I will do whatever the hell I want." She smiled, leaning on him slightly, "I'm glad I could help you feel a bit better. Soly will be proud too!" She smiled as she closed her eyes, "I..I just hope I can get him to not make me...'change'...I like being this way. It just seems..right."
|
"I love that about you and Solomon." Holden said with a smile. "Yes he would. He said. "It does, I can talk to him about that. Have you ever been painted? Because just like Solomon I think you would paint beautifully." He said sighing. "Can I ask you why you like to look and act like a six year old? He asked closing his eyes. "Life is a lot harder when you have a family." Holden said leaning his head back.
|
"I don't sit still long enough..Solo's tried." She tilted her head a bit as he asked her, "Solo might get mad if I tell you, but he's been meaning to tell you anyway..so I'll just be saving him the trouble. Another favor for my brother~" She smiled a bit adjusting in his lap, "Well, you already know that my brother and I are twins, had an older sister, and we're Pure. I don't know if you know how it works, but Pures are born as humans and live as such until they're 18th birthday. While they're humans though, they're..'blessed' with perfect health, increased senses and agility, among other minor things. When they turn 18, the genes in their blood activates, turning them to a vampire in a similar process of when a human changes.
"A-anyway, sometimes, when a Pure changes, they get...very aggressive." She paused a moment, closing her eyes, "..well..I got very aggressive. It varies on the person, sometimes the person is always 'bad' or sometimes 'bad'..and I was..always 'bad'.. "A-and..Solomon, Mommy and Daddy had to keep me locked away, of course you know this..." She sighed, "..b-but..after a few years, Solo tried..to..'fix' me..but..he wasn't as good with the brain as he is now..s-so..it..'ruined' my brain..I guess. He said..that..I kinda have..split personalities..or something like that...b-but..I only get 'bad' a-around blood now, no matter what it is.. A-and while I'm 'good' I sometimes slip in and out of..different versions of myself..child-like or 'normal' for my age. I..don't really know how to explain...b-but Solo knows...Y-you may have even..noticed it." She sighed again, burying her face in his chest, not that she was sad or anything, she just felt comfortable doing it, "S-Solo's t-tried to fix me many times, but..it seems I..always..g-get worse around blood..so..he's stopped... Then he told me I'd have to stay locked away forever until he could fix me...but..he didn't know what they did to me there...they lied to him." Now she was beginning to get scared and started to cry a bit as she remember the many years at the main House. She was unsure if Holden would pick up the images flashing through her mind, but she hoped he didn't..they were..bad. |
Holden listened and understood most of it. He felt pressure in his brain and knew it was what she was seeing, he tried to keep them out. He put his arms around Hayden, "I'm sorry that they did bad things to you Hayden. No matter how bad a person is, they don't deserve..." He said as one of the pictures broke through his block. He saw blood, oh so much blood. There was so many dead bodies, the smell of blood came into his nose and his eyes became instantly red. He opened them and looked at Hayden, "Hayden slap me, so much blood, and carnage. Oh so much fun." Holden said in a growl tone, his teeth grew as he smelled Amanda. A low growl escaped his throat.
|
Hayden closed her eyes tightly, trying to dispel the thoughts from her mind; as she was always the one at the cause end of the violence. It made her feel terrible,but Holden's words made her feel a bit better. "I..wish they understood that.." She jumped, not questioning him. She understood what what happened. "I'm sorry Holden..." She brought up her slim hand, slapping him very hard across the face, almost enough to break his maxillary bones.
|
Holden's eyes turned back to their normal brown, and his teeth went back to normal. He rubbed his cheek, "Thanks, and you have a good arm." He said as he moved his jaw. "I will help you anyway that is possible." He said with a smile. He sighed, "I'm sure Solomon knows this, but I feel so bad that I don't know how to use most of my powers, and I don't even know all of the powers I have." He said. "I should of been able to take care of myself, with that piece of shit vampire. I mean he didn't do anything, but I still should of been able to take him out." Holden said slamming his head into the headboard.
|
Hayden caught his head as he moved to hit the headboard,"Holden, please, Solomon will teach you when you're ready. He's been so worn out between helping his horse and...dealing with me.." Her hands slowly slid from his face as she looked away, "If I was still there, you'd know more than you do now..but..I keep getting in the way...like always." She crawled off his lap, curling up tightly by the pillows, "I'm sorry Holden, it's my fault that you still don't know anything."
|
Holden adjusted on the bed so he was laying across from Hayden. "Your not in the way Hayden. Did Solomon ever tell you that I had a daughter? I mean she wasn't my blood daughter. I adopted her just like I plan to do with Jason." He said with a sigh. "Anyway Amanda was three and Abby was six. Abby was so cute, but so was Amanda. Every time I did something with Abby, Amanda was always there. I used to get so mad at her, but it mainly was because I didn't know how long Abby had left. She had the same disease as her mother, but it took her mom's 22 years to progress. Where as it only took 6 for Abby." He said starting to cry again.
"Sorry, umm I hated Amanda and she was only 3. I was such a fool, she never deserved my hatred. The day I buried Abby, is the day I vowed to do everything to make Amanda happy. What I am trying to say is that it is never the younger siblings fault, its always the older siblings damn fault." Holden said as he rolled to his back and put his arm over his eyes. |
Hayden looked away from him, her hair covering her face, "That's not true Holden. This is my fault. Solomon's too busy trying to make sure I don't do anything bad..he doesn't have any time to help you because of it." She sighed, depressed, but not really in the mood to cry. "I'll just stay away, so Solo can help you and spend his time with you and not worry about me. I'll just..sleep in a closet or somewhere dark..I'm used to it."
|
"Hayden no, it isn't your fault. I have hundreds of years to learn, and I'm smart so I pick up stuff quickly." Holden said trying to make her feel better. "Solomon loves you, if you would go away he would search for you. You will do no such thing, I know you are older then me but I would not and could not let you do that." Holden said turning back to Hayden.
|
She looked at him with a slight smile, "Y-you think so? Sometimes..I don't think he would." She uncurled a bit, scooting close to Holden. "S-Solo says you can shape-shift r-right? M-maybe he'll let me t-teach you..."
|
"I don't just think so, I know so." Holden said with a smile. "Ya I can but the last time I did, I almost ripped out Alicia's throat." He said as the whole scene played out in his head. "Maybe he will.." Holden said as he trailed off.
|
Hayden hugged Holden, "D-don't be upset with that...i-it's always like that the first time. S-sometimes..it's..worse.." She closed her eyes tightly, "S-sometimes..it's..really bloody.." She shuddered a bit. "B-but you're a g-good person! S-so you didn't hurt her..cause you knew better.." She smiled a bit.
|
Holden hugged Hayden back, "Ya, well one reason is that she slapped my nose." He said grabbing his nose. "Alicia said she can shape shift her form. Like you can, but then again I don't know what powers you have." Holden said with a sigh.
|
Hayden shrugged a bit, "I don't really remember, actually...I..I haven't used them in a l-long time..so..I ki-kinda forgot." She sat up and stretched out her arms, "M-maybe Solomon will let me practice again." She stood up on the bed, looking over to Holden, "He should almost done with the horses now. Oooohh," she pouted, "He never let me see them...meanie-head."
|
"Maybe we can practice together." Holden said as he sat up. "When I go and see Kali tomorrow, maybe you can some with. Hopefully she isn't mad at me, cause she will tell me." He said with a chuckle. "Did Solomon tell you I can speak to animals? I know it sound weird." Holden said rubbing his hand through his hair.
|
Hayden shook her head, "It's not weird, all shape-shifters can do it. I can too~" She jumped down, grabbing Holden's arm and tugging him up, "Let's go now. I wanna see them now."
|
"I see, I didn't know that." Holden said with a smile. "Ok, ok, let's see if Amanda and Jason want to go. It is only fair." He said as he stood up.
|
Hayden shook her head, "Nooooo...I don't want Jason to come." She frowned a bit, quickly flinching at Solomon slapped her telepathically, "Fiiinee, he can come.." She frowned deeper. She didn't like Jason. He was..strange and wimpy.
|
Holden smiled, as he picked up Hayden. "You will come to like him, trust me. He had a hard life in that orphanage." He said went out the door. He walked down the stairs, "Jason do you wanna come with us and see Solomon's horses?" He asked when he got down the stairs.
"Sure daddy." Jason said as he jumped up from the couch. "Damn Solomon took my BMW, we are gonna have to take the Mustang." Holden said as he went to the Study to get Amanda. Amanda? Do you wanna come with us to go see the horses?" He asked as he got to the study. "Sure." Amanda said as she ran up to Holden. Holden smiled and picked up Amanda. "Let's go chicka's." Holden said with a smile. |
Hayden frowned, "Not near as bad as mine..you don't see me griping at everything." She wrapped her arms around Holden to keep herself from falling back. "How many horses does Solomon have?" She looked down to Jason with a slight glare, but quickly looked away.
|
"True hun, but he is technically human." Holden said with a frown. He has four right now, Damien, Kali, Zera, and Rilov." He said as he went back into the living room. He headed out to the garage, with Jason in tow. He put the girls down, when he got to the garage. "I want you all to buckle your seat belts." He said as he grabbed the spare key out of the key box. He got into the car and waited until everyone was in the car.
Amanda got into the backseat and buckled her seat belt. Jason waited until Hayden got in and he got in the front passenger seat. He quickly buckled his seat belt. |
Hayden pouted as Jason made her get in the back, "That's not fair. I'm way older than him..I should get to sit in front. After all, we're going to my brother's house." She crossed her arms, not buckling her seat belt.
