{#16: Playing nurse for a stubborn and tired vampire}

Tauris p.o.v.:

'How could I be so stupid? Fainting in front of True, of course she had to find that stupid bite-mark. I couldn't believe that she bought that wolf-story. A wild wolf in the Scottish Highlands, but so near the village. She's such a city girl. What was I thinking? And then she had to be so stubborn about letting doctor Zacharel take a look. I almost got a heart attack when she told, no ordered, me to come with her. She must be, without a doubt, the most stubborn woman in the world. I have compassion for the man that'll ever marry her. And why is that stupid thought making me jealous? She's human, I knew from the first time I saw her that I could only be a spectator in her life never a player.' 

Anyway, currently I was sitting in True's car as she drove us to the Lake-House. When all of a sudden something crossed my mind: 'Hadn't Richard told me that the daughter of doctor Zacharel was only 17 years old. If that information was correct than how was she allowed to drive a car legally in Scotland? Well only one way to find out I guess.' "Hey True, how comes that you're allowed to drive? Do you have a legal drivers licence?" I asked. 

"Oh yes, I had one at my former home, there you're allowed to drive at 16." True told me smiling. 

"Yes, I know that, but the rules her in Scotland are slightly different."

"I know, I asked my parents about that when we first arrived and all they answered was: 'Don't worry honey, we took care of that.' Don't even ask me what that means, because I have no idea. And somehow I think it's better not to know what it meant." True explained. 

I smiled at her answer. 'Her parents must have moved heaven and earth to get her a legal way to drive, when she was underage. Well not that it is rare I have one myself, as I pretend to be not older than 17. Maybe it was a part of the deal for moving here. I should ask Richard about it later.'

True's p.o.v.:

"I'll call my mum now." I said to Tauris as I got out of the car and pulled out my phone.

"Mum, it's me, True." I said as she took the call.

"True I'm working. Why are you calling?" my mum said annoyed.

"Mum, something happened can you meet me at the lake-house, please?" I begged.

"True, what did you do?"

"Just meet me at home, mum." I pleaded and ended the call.

"Eh True, you made it sound like you're the one who's hurt." Tauris said.

"Yes, I know. My mum has the awful habit of taking her calls with her phone on speaker. This way your uncle won't know a thing." I explained.

"And what will she tell Richard when she returns to the castle?" Tauris questioned.

"I'll think of something. Follow me." I said and walked out of the garage and into the hall. "Apophis back off! And don't make me say it twice. Is that understood?" I said as I heard him snarl at Tauris. "Come here you idiot, you know you'll always be my only love. Tauris is here because he is a friend and because he needs help. He's her to see my mum." I said as I took Apophis in my arms. He looked at me stubborn and ran off. "Fine do what you want." I jelled after him. Tauris was looking at me shocked. I smiled and walked into my mothers office. I never understood the purpose of it, but it came in handy now. So you wouldn't hear me complain. "We'll wait here. She'll be here shortly." I said and took a seat in one of the chairs.

Tauris p.o.v.:

As I walked into the hall, still following True, I felt a very protective and hostile identity. That's when I heard someone snarl at us from the stairs. I was about to jump in front of True and defend her from who- or whatever the thing was that snarled at us, when I heard True jell at the one who had snarled. It appeared to be no other then her cat, named Apophis. A very possessive cat that clearly hated every male, other than himself, that came near True. Well again, I have compassion for the man she'll marry one day. I looked shocked as True tried to calm him, but he just ran of stubborn, clearly not happy with the situation. True jelled something after him in frustration and then gave me an apologising look. She went into a room, what appeared to be the office of her mother.
