The Man In The Mountain (The Vampire Series - Book 1)

Chapter 2 - The Vampire

Persephone watched as this man almost disappeared out the door. He immediately started going the same northeast direction that Dillion said she found him.

"Okay, so Stephen," Dillion said, getting their attention back. They blinked for a moment.

"Right, I think it's time to break up with him. He doesn't help, his behavior hasn't changed since the last time I talked to him. If I'm being totally honest, I just don't care about him anymore."

"I don't want to say I told you so," Dillion started.

"I know, I know, I just- how did this happen? I'm not this person who lets someone else walk all over them, especially not a-a- a man! Like, who am I?" They snorted.

"Someone who got wrapped up with him at Comic-Con," Dillion shrugged. "Listen, it's time. Just break up with him and tell him he's got a week to get his shit together."

"I know I just- we've been together so long-"

"I'm stopping you right there. This is what he's turned you into. This is exactly what he wants you to think when you think about tossing his ass out. I don't care how much his mom likes you either, but you know she'll give him shit for not getting it together."

"You're right," they sighed. They looked around the kitchen, they updated the cabin since the last time they were here. The fridge was new and so was the microwave. "So what are we going to do about Jasper Cullen?" Dillion snorted.

"Well, first things first we get him acclimated to the modern day. Slowly introduce him to the world. Bring him to the coven meetings."

"Did you tell him we're witches or was that delegated to me?"

"We were hoping you could break it to him when it's just one-on-one. With all of us where, he might feel a little ambushed."

"Good call," they said, patting her on the shoulder. "I'll take him home, I'll probably put him to work at the shop just to give him something to do," they started making plans and mentally plotting what to do. "We need to call the groupies," Dillion made a face. "We can't have him going around killing random people. We'll all get caught. We'll harvest tomorrow if they're able to and go from there."

"Do you need help with Stephen?" Dillion asked.

"Maybe, no," they sighed. "Maybe," Dillion nodded and patted their shoulder.

"You'll be alright just stick to your guns," the front door slammed open, Kit standing there with an old leather satchel and a wild look in his deep brown eyes.

"What is this?" He asked, brandishing what looked like a toasted marshmallow. "Divinity! Clearly the Lord must've granted us this splendor! Its texture, its taste! I've eaten so many of them! A lovely couple camping in the woods was kind enough to share them with me, I have truly earned myself the favor of the lord again have I been given such a gift!"

"They're called marshmallows, Thor," Persephone snickered to themselves. They mentally shook their head, they were taken with this man and it needed to stop. They had to admit, that was adorable. He stared at it in wonder before holding it out to them.

"Marshmallow," he said slowly, trying out the word. "Where do I get more? And also, what is a sammore? They were telling me about them at the camp, they said they didn't have all they needed to make sammores, but that they are somehow even better than this delightful thing."

"Tell you what. There's a 24/7 Wal-mart on the way back to my place. I'll stop there and grab the stuff for them," Persephone offered. Kit lit up in delight.

"You must be an angel for the kindness you have shown unto me, should I be able to locate my cabin, I shall pay you back properly. How many shillings for one of these marshmallows, and the clothing you have brought for me?"
