BITTEN (PAUSED)

Meeting her parents

Song Recommendation: Don't - Bryson Tiller

Scarlett's POV:

I applied my dark red shade of lipstick onto my lips, puckering them before kissing them, spreading the dark red color all over my plump lips.

Tonight, I'm meeting luna's parents. And honestly, saying I'm terrified is an understatement. I mean, her grandpa is literally The Dracula, Im horrified to meet her family.think

twice about cutting me off if they didn't like
I checked out my appearance in the long body mirror, the dark red dress tightly fitting onto my body, as it trailed down to my ankles, with a slit going up towards my thigh. My black red bottom heels clicking against the tile floor could be heard from all around the mansion, as I steadily made my way down the stairs.

At the bottom of the stairs was luna. She had on a black button up shirt, with a pair of black dress pants and a black belt holding them up tightly, topped with a pair of black dress shoes. Her wavy blonde hair was tossed over her shoulder, as her once silver eyes immediately turned a shade of dark red as her eyes traveled all over my body.

"You, my darling, look amazing. Absolutely divine" She says sternly, her cold hands wrapping around my waist, as she harshly tugs me into her body. I look up at her, as her red eyes seem to become even more darker as she admires my body from top to bottom.

"Thank you, you look pretty ravishing yourself" I say, smiling slightly as we both laugh a little.

"Thank you, shall we?" She asks, as she pulls away from me and puts her hand out. I gracefully take her hand, as we both steadily walk out to her garage. She smoothly takes a pair of car keys off the rack, as we make our way towards the black shiny Mercedes.

———————————

"Im scared" I whisper as Luna and I walk hand in hand to the big house infront of us. We had already arrived to the house, and I will say it is massive. The outside had old white pillars holding up a large balcony with stairs underneath, while the house itself was made of an old white brick. The house was very old money, making questions pop in my head about how long they've had it.

"You're okay my love" she says, pulling her hand away from mine causing cold wind to blow against my fingers, wishing that her warmth would come back to me.

She knocks lightly onto the huge wooden door, pulling away and stepping back slightly to stand right next to me. She corrects her posture as she stands up strongly, her hands held infront of her body as we wait for somebody to open the door.

"Ah, Hello Luna" A man says as he opens the huge doors. Luna looks up at the man, letting a light smile show through as she walks inside the house, me trailing behind her.

"Hello, father" Luna says, as the man closes the door behind us. The man has black hair with a few grey streaks, he is wearing a dark red sweater with a white long sleeve button up underneath. He had black dress pants on, with black dress shoes topping off his outfit.

"Hello, darling. And you must be Scarlett, Its a pleasure to meet you." He says

"Hello, Mr. Barlowe. It's nice to meet you too." I say, but the wind gets knocked out of me as the man pulls me into a giant bear hug. I chuckle softly as I wrap my arms around the mans strong torso.

"Please, call me ward. Oh, and this is my wife, Diana." He says, grabbing his wife's hand and pulling her into his side. She smiles slightly, as she gives me a mice tight hug, which I reciprocate back to her.

"Hello, it's nice to meet you, Mrs. Barlowe." I say, as my eyes wander over the women's appearance. Her blonde hair was straightened over her shoulders, while her face wore neutral makeup. She wore a long white dress, with a small slit on the side. She was wearing black heels and a pearl necklace.

"Call me Diana" She says, smiling softly at me.

"Cmon Dear, let's go to the dining room." Ward says, as he walks with his wife into another room.

"How do you feel so far?" Luna asks me.

"Good, they seem nice" I mutter softly.

"They are, they already love you, I can tell baby" She says. Her hand finds its way onto the small of my back, her cold hand resting there as she walks with me by her side to the dining room.

"Hello, Im Livia, Luna's sister." Another blonde woman says, before she engulfs me into a hug. I smell her floral perfume as she pulls away, smiling at me before she sits back down into her seat at the table.

"We made many genres of food since we don't know what you like, and we are very thankful that you are joining us tonight." Diana speaks, as we all life our glass and take a sip of the red wine. Or, atleast I think it's red wine. Mine looks like wine, but everyone else's cup looks like a thicker liquid, so i'm guessing it's blood.

"So, how did you two meet?" Ward asks, as he cuts open his steak with a knife, eating a piece.

"Bar" Me and Luna say simultaneously, smiling to eachother as we recall the night.

"Well, Scarlett, what do you do?" Diana asks me, as she takes a bite of her salad.

"Oh, Im actually a model." I smile. I love talking about my work sometimes, it's just so refreshing to talk about it with people who barely know you.

"Seriously? Thats amazing, I always wanted to be a model when I was younger. How successful are you in it?" Livia asks, taking another sip of the red liquid in her cup.

"Ive been the Number 1 top female model in the world for the past 3 years." I say. Almost immediately after, I hear a fork clash onto a plate, as a fee jaws are dropped. Luna just smirks beside me, as her hand finds its way onto my thigh.

"What! You are Scarlett Hart? The best female model in the literal world?" Livia asks me in pure shock.

"Yep, thats me. I say smiling as I show my pearly white teeth.

"Wow, I knew you looked like her but damn. Oh my god I love your work." She says, fangirling over me.

"Aww, thank you. Hopefully, My success will grow thanks to your sister now becoming my boss." I say, as I smirk back up to luna.

"Shes your boss?" Ward asks.

"Yes, she is. We just figured out a few months ago." I say

"Was she your boss when you guys met?" Diana asks.

"No, we met around a week before she became my boss." I say, causing them to let out an audible 'oh'.

"What do you all do?" I ask, switching the conversation off of me.

"Ah, well Im a CEO of a company." Ward says affirmingly, before digging into his food.

"And i'm an interior designer." Livia says, smiling slightly as we look over to Diana.

"Oh, I don't work. I perfer not to" She says softly, as I hum in response.

The next few moments were silent, as we all dug into our food and a small chatter started to form amongst the family. I intently listened in on the stories they would tell, until for a moment, everyone went silent. Everyone's eyes drifted over to me, as I gulped and leaned back.

"Luna, does she know?" Ward asks sternly, his red eyes staring deeply into Luna's, where her eyes flicker red in an instant, as she stands up causing Livia to do the same.

"Yes" Luna says to her father.
