TW: Murder?
--------
Madeleine's POV

My parents are coming here, they need a place to stay, they need to hide from hunters. And yet, I haven't told Espresso anything, however.. He did say he was going to meet his brother. I tapped my fingers against the wooden table, Espresso was in his home town again to wait for his brother to hang out in Latte's house. I expect there to not be any distractions during my parents visit. We'll just have to see, I got up to clean the house. I grabbed a broom to sweep up dust and fur Coil shedded off, changed the sheets of guest rooms and that stuff. I made sure to not miss a single spot, but the judgement will be on for my parents.

The doorbell ringed. It was 4:38 PM, I opened the door and saw my parents. "Hello, mother and father." I say, "Hello Madel!" my mother responded. My dad just looked annoyed, I let them inside while we chatted and Coil was happy to see them. "Who's that?" I ask suddenly, there was a blond hair girl, with one purple eye and the other blue, she was shorter than me, she had curly pigtails and she had a huge smile on her face. "Oh her? This is Shortbread cookie! Your sister" my mother said. No wonder she's short.

I went to go show them their rooms so they could unpack. The only thing I'm worried about is them disturbing Espresso, or us disturbing them. I flopped on my bed, full of worries, until Shortbread was in my room. "Hello!" she said "Hi" I responded, "Your room smells like coffee" she said with a grin. "..So??" I ask, I didn't come out to my parents yet, and I have no idea if they'll support me. "Are you like, a coffee cookie??" she asks, "No? I just drink coffee. Duh" I say "Oh." she says before leaving. That was awkward.

After they unpacked, it was time for dinner. And yet, Espresso isn't home yet, I took a glance to my phone, and was about to text him to ask if he's okay...BUT I DIDN'T HAVE HIS PHONE NUMBER. I turned off my phone, now I was really worried. We ate, and talked and laughed and stuff, but it was mostly my parents asking me if I had a girlfriend and my sister asking me kindergarten questions like: "Whats your favorite color??"

After dinnertime we played board games like monopoly, although my sister was pretty annoying. Suddenly the door opened, and Espresso was there. "Who are you?!" I say, trying to play it cool as if I didn't know him I stared at him trying to get him to understand, his life depends on this.. "Uhm, hi Madel" he mumbled, edgelord, hunters liver, double hunter liver. "Who's this, Madel?" my mother asked, oh no. They're gonna eat him aren't they, "I- I have no idea!" I say, Shortbread jerked up "YOUR A COFFEE COOKIE!" she yelled. "MADELLL CAN WE HAVE DESERT" Shortbread asked. "Uh- Yea! I'll go uhm, go prepare it. You know- like uh, make sure it's not a- uhm- hunter! They might've not um hurted us yet, but um better safe then sorry!" I choked out. "Can I come?" Shortbread asked "No-! Uh, it's dangerous. And I'm a strong male!" I say quickly before dragging Espresso to my room.

"Madel? Whats going on? What's a hunter? Who are they?" Espresso bombed me with questions "They're my parents." I said, "What do they mean by...dessert?? What do you mean by preparing me?" he asked. "Shh, be quiet they might hear us.." I whispered when I heard footsteps, although they were from downstairs I locked the door already. "Madel..?" Espresso whispered softly "Yea?" I whispered back "..Are you human?" he asks. I froze and slowly brought my gaze to him, "What makes you think that I'm not..human?" I asked. "Hmm, nevermind that..Am I your desert?" he asked, I blushed. "Yes, your my dessert" I mumbled, mostly to myself "Oh? Are you gonna eat me?" he whispered. I licked my lips, before kissing him on the lips while I pin him against the door.

"Tell me Madel..Are you human?" he asked again, its as if he put a love spell on me, its like I can't lie to him. "N-No..I'm.." I paused, he can't know my identity, he'll freak out! "Tell me, Madeleine, I won't freak out". I swallowed, hard. His hands were on my shoulder and my hands were on his waist, " I'm a vampire " I choked out. He smiled, and kissed me "Try to refrain from eating me, okay?", I nodded. " MADEL!!! WHEN IS THE DESSERT READY??" I heard footsteps. I gave Espresso one last kiss, "Sneak out for me love" I say almost like a beg. "I will" He said as he kissed me back, before rushing outside.

"He got away!" I said trying to make an excuse "What do you mean?! How?!" my father scowled. "Well, uhm.. He got away! I tied him to a rope and went to get some ingredients to make the dessert like- a lava cake! But he cut the rope and disappeared by the uhm window!" I explained quickly. "Hmm..You should've kept an eye on him!" my father groaned. "Love, be easy on him." my mom interrupted, "Fine. But I'm checking the window" he said before walking outside.

I was worried sick. I laided on my bed, and I didn't know if Espresso was gonna get caught, everyone else was asleep expect for me and my dad. I didn't know where my dad was, I stared at my bed and held my pillow. We exchanged numbers before he left for safety, and I texted him over a billion of times and yet he hasn't responded. I cuddled my pillow and tried to sleep and forget.
****************
Madel's Dream

I was walking through the forest, and it was foggy as always. I was with my dad, suddenly Espresso was walking aswell. My dad was furious, and ran towards Espresso, Espresso noticed quickly and began to run but my dad was faster..And he jumped on Espresso, I tried to stop him but he already killed him. I cried and my dad just said "You'll always be a dumb blond" before we walked home.
**********************
I woke up in sweat, tears and everything. It was 5 AM, and I woke up to my phone being blasted with texts, all from Espresso. I smiled and told him about the dream I had and read over the texts he sent. Sure I was tired, but I'm glad he's safe...For now.
