TrueBloods: A race against Time

Chapter 4

One year, I can't believe it's been that long, so much has happened since then; Desmond and I moved into the room the principal was talking about, Majika and I have become great friends, and my mother came back. She actually was looking for us gathering clues of where we might be, she found me six months ago. 

One year ago today, I met Desmond and we went through so many hardships together, mostly it was about me finding out who I really was. Since last year my birth mark has grown darker which is interesting because for many, many years it has gotten lighter- if I had to guess it's because I'm drinking animal blood. At times I just drink desmonds because it is much tastier than the garbage he is making me drink from. 

Today, is the last day before we go on our breaks- we get to travel back home and visit with our family, because desmond hasn't had one in a very long time I want to ask him to join me, in michigan, it's totally not because I want to show my sexy, hot boyfriend to my ugly big lipped b***h mother, definitly not. 

I roll around in my sheets for a few minutes before I smell a sweet scent filling the room- desmonds blood? I question, I fling the sheets off of me, since we really don't need sleep I just lay in bed wishing I could; desmond is in the bathroom- shaving? This is a sight for sore eyes. He has a towel wrapped around his waist, he must have just gotten out of the shower. That's when I see a gut on his neck, it's small and it is not bleeding all that greatly. I imagine for just a moment, that his towel wold somehow fall off, so I never forget this beautiful moment I paint this image in my mind. 

"Alannah?" Desmonds smile turns into a smirk- he runs quickly behind me, resting his hands on my shoulders, he moves my hair to the left of me, piercing my neck with his fangs- this is a way of vampires showing true love. I thought it would be something close to what us humans have done for thousands of years. But for vampires, drinking from each others blood is mostly rare. I roll my eyes in satisfaction, I grab his hand- he lets off of my neck turning me around, his hands on my hips. I love this man, the way he touches me, always letting me know how much he cares for me, the way we love each other is like no other couple in this lifetime. I get up on my tippy toes and pierce his neck with my fangs, drinking from him this time. I run my fingers through his hair, when I stop we both plant kisses on parts of each others skin. 

Desmond is taking me out on a date tonight, It was totally unexpected; I understand that's it our one year anniversary but I've never been taken out on a real, real date. He told me to wear my best dress- and boy do I have one. Desmond left me to attend to my getting ready, I can't describe what I'm feeling but it's a mix of emotions, is tonight the night I'm going to ask him to come with me to michigan? Or is this the night I find out I'm going alone? 

This is a bit personal, but, Desmond and I haven't had s*x in a while. He said something about 'it's not the right time' but I don't know when the right time would be? What's the difference between us having s*x for the first time (when we did it a lot) which was over a year ago now; to doing it whenever. We're vampires, I can't get pregnant, I don't even have periods, crazy; but true. When I thought I was pregnant (because I didn't have my period) I told gabe first, can you imagine? I told gabe, as if he knew, well, he did. Anyway, he started laughing and I got really upset because I was terrified. I am not about to be a mother to a Vampire, not after watching Bella- no way do I want to look like that! Gabe told me- under the circumstances, it would be almost impossible for me to get pregnant, they have no Idea how my genetics are reacting to all of this new information. Gabe said there is a 1, in 1 trillion chance of me getting pregnant with Desmond. I was happy, I don't know if it's because of the treatment I got from my adoptive mother, or the neglect I got from my real mother. I'm just not ready. But, getting back to the point, I am a newbie- I am so horny at times that it's so hard to control anything. 

I walk over to the mirror mounted on my wall- I pull my shirt off exposing my white bra, along with my birthmark. It hurts right now, it's the first time it's ever done that, I noticed it throbbing a few days ago but I don't want to burden anyone with my troubles anymore. Last year was hectic for everyone and I really just want to have fun- no drama- nothing of that sort is allowed, until I go to michigan, at that point it's like asking a cat to bark. I grab my black purple dress with a slit running down from my thigh to my ankle. I match it with my black laced knee-high boots. I pull my hair back into a nice low ponytail. I brush the small wrinkles off my dress and stare at myself in the mirror. 

*Repetitive knock* 

"ALANNAH!" Majika screams, my heart racing- seriously?! I quickly run over to the door pulling the door handle as quickly as I could. Majika has taken off her mask, for the first time I can see her true face. Her cloak is still on, however I never though how much she resembles a cute fawn. She looks like bambi almost. Her breath is heavy, she ran? She can just teleport through shadows why did she run?

"Come quickly!" She states, I knew it was about desmond- why else would majika be here?! I pick up my dress, running as fast as I can, keeping up with majika of course, because we all know I could run faster the Usain bolt, but I have no Idea were we are going. Majika runs down the hall, opening the double doors, running past the building where I used to live and into the woods, Why would desmond be in the woods? My shoes are leaving prints in the grass, my heart racing because I'm worrying. I can't smell anything in the atmosphere or desmonds blood, my hair has surprisingly stayed in place. Majika stops- grabs my hand and proceeds with running into the eerie forest. 

"Stop." She says. I do, we both stop. She looks at me and smiles, my eye brows raised in curiosity. 

"What's going on Majika?" I bark. If desmond is in trouble then I need to help him. She brings her hands together, biting her lip, she yelps.

"Okay brother, do it!" She jumps in happiness, and brother? I don't see gabe? When I hear a foot stomping in the ground a sparkly light shines from the ground into the middle of the forest, that's when lights appear and a cute dinning table and small building erupt from the darkness, vines are wrapped around each and every piece of wood making this look rustic. It's beautiful! My mouth is opened wide, I'm taken aback by the beautiful effort, that is when I hear a cough behind me- I turn around to see Desmond looking handsome in a dark purple suit- matching my dress. He's holding a bouquet of flowers, white and purple roses, absolutely gorgeous. I squeal in excitement, I run to desmond, wrapping my hands around his neck giving him a kiss. When we part he hands me the flowers,

"Happy one year" he smiles, I didn't notice but he's wearing the earring again- he knows what that does to me. He grabs my hand, I sniff the flowers taking in the sweet scent- how did he set this all up? Desmond pulls out my chair, I sit in it, he helps push me in the tab;e and I set the napkin on my lap- it never stays there but, it'll have to do. Desmond sits in his chair and pours me a glass of wine, this is so uncommon- I love this!

...*...

I can't stop laughing, I cut up a piece of my steak, placing it in my mouth, still laughing. 

"Oh boy, that was funny." he sighs, while wiping the water from his eye because we were laughing to hard. 

"Desmond?" 

"Yeah?" 

"I hate to mention this right now but, would you want to come to michigan with me on friday to meet my parents? I mean they're crazy so if you don't want to I'd completely un-"

"I'd love to go." 

"yeah, that cool. Just thought id- wait! You would?"

"Yeah, I'd do anything for you Alannah." He says taking another bite of his steak- I'm sitting here completly dumb founded. 

...*...

Desmond carries me back into our bedroom- setting me on my feet when we get through our door, he shuts the door, this is the right moment desmond, it better be. Desmond pounces on me like a predator does with his pray, attacking me with kisses- he rips my dress in half exposing the lingerie I've been dying to show him- remember, the one I spent 6,000 dollars on? Yeah, I haven't showed it to him since now. Does licks his lips, 

"You can't rip this one." I say smiling. He gently removes the top throwing it across the floor, he licks my body from chest to my belly button, my back arches and my toes curl. He reaches the bottom half of the lingerie, his eyes widen at the hold- that's when I grab him and turn him around- his back on the floor, I unbotton his pants exposing him. 

We did it so many times that night. Turns out- he ripped the lingerie anyway which is fine, I work at the school and make pretty good money, desmond isn't going to the high school but he is chatting with the teachers to train new vampires about control, eventually letting them come to this school. 

Desmond and I have been doing it every night for 4 days, when I'm done with school he's walking around our room exposing himself, what else do I do? Walk out and ignore it? No way. 

"Tomorrow is friday." I say circling my finger on his chest, while being naked under the sheets. I wasn't joking when I said- everyday. His hand is placed on my backside, a smile planted on his face,

"I can't wait to see how you act towards her now, since you are vampire you could loose your temper quickly..." the room is silent, until Desmond breaks it once again. He faces me, smiling,

"Want to do it again?" I nod my head yes and get under the covers.
