Inject Me Sweetly / Dusk Until Dawn

:Inject Me Sweetly: Chapter Eight

“…ly? Emily? Emily, wake up.”

            My eyes snapped open when I heard my name being called. Disgruntled, I sat up too quickly, sending my head reeling. A soft chuckled erupted from the person hovering above me and I found myself staring into a pair of brilliant emerald eyes.

            “Good morning Sleeping Beauty,” the brunet greeted me, his eyes twinkling in amusement. “Congratulations! You survived your first night, if you don’t count the night you first arrived here.”

            Blinking in confusion I took in my surroundings. Everything was pink. Suddenly memories came back to me in a rush, and my mouth dropped open. Sebastian raised a perfectly arched eyebrow at my reaction. I gawked at him, unable to believe it. He was right. I didn’t remember when I’d fallen asleep, but I made it through the night without a problem. In fact, I’d gotten probably the best sleep that I had in a long while.

            “Ah, morning,” I responded, remembering my manners. “Don’t take this the wrong way, but why are you here? And where’s Fiona?”

            Sebastian chuckled again. “I’ve come to wake you up. You wouldn’t want to miss breakfast would you? Especially since Vince might not be so willing to cook twice in a three hour time span.”

            A yawn escaped my lips and I rubbed my eyes tiredly. Hearing vampires ate breakfast still threw me off guard a little. It was hard to believe how human they were. All those horror movies were so misleading… Fiona’s warning ran through my head, but I quickly shook it away. Even if those types of vampires did exist, I could pretend they didn’t. “Who’s eating with us?” I questioned, pushing myself off Fiona’s flashy couch.

            “Just Fiona and Vince,” Sebastian responded, leading me out of the room. “Only the whole family gets together for dinner.”

            “How many people are in the whole family?”

            “Around thirty.”

            My eyes widened. “Thirty? Do they all live here?”

            Sebastian shook his head. “No, they live on our estate though. We quite a few acres of land.”

            “Where are we?” I asked, realizing I had no clue where they’d taken me. You’d think I’d ask that sooner? I thought with a grimace.

            “Massachusetts.”

            My eyebrows furrowed together in confusion. We were still in Massachusetts? Well, maybe it shouldn’t have been such a surprise. When Vince and Joel kidnapped me, we weren’t in the van for too long. “Where in Massachusetts?”

            “Look Park.”

            I froze, a startled gasp leaving my lips. “What?”

            Sebastian gave me a concerned look. “What’s wrong?”

            “Why are you lying to me?” I demanded, feeling a little hurt. Sebastian seemed so nice. “Why does it matter if you tell me where you are? Vincent told me a little about you guys!”

            “Emily, I’m not lying,” Sebastian responded smoothly, looking confused. “I don’t have a reason to lie about it.”

            I shook my head at him. “We can’t be in Look Park. It’s barely big enough for the house, let alone the many acres you say you claim.”
