Through Midnight Eyes {Sequel To October Surprises!}

Story Time

"Oh way to go Gregory, you killed the cow."

The now fed vampire emerged from the stunned cattle and stared at me, "So?"

I crossed my arms in a motherly manner, "Don't you ever think of the cow's feelings before you sink your long white fangs into their ever so soft neck?" Now I'm just being annoying. Oh well.

Gregory smirked, "Would you rather have me drink your blood?"

"No."

"Then don't complain."

I protested quite loudly, "But—but, I don't see anyone else killing the cows. It's just you."

My boyfriend seemed tired of my advances for he ignored me and strolled outside. You can never reason with a vampire, they do whatever the hell they want to. When tell them to settle down, they use 'I'm centuries older than you' bit. Stop rubbing it in already!

Frederick announced, "We are done feeding!" Demanding much? As if his words were magic, the rest of the vampire family shadowed his steps into the night. Yes, I said night. I bet you recall the fact that we all left in daylight. The vampire family turned out to be so hungry that they basically went through every cow in the barn. Scratch off the one Gregory killed. The pots and blankets were left unwanted in a barrel of hay. What do they need them for now?

James took his place beside me, looking as if he was going to upchuck any moment, "Thank god it's over!" Seeing vampires suck the life out of animals isn't something you would get used to quickly.

"Awwww, poor James. Don't resist the urge to purge!" I can be so mean.

I swear to all the cows in the world that James's face turned a darker green than it was before. Laughing mentally is very necessary here.

"Do any of you vampires have a bucket!" His frantic pleads could probably be heard all over Scotland. I remember back at home-. Oh crap. Home. I never called back my mother and to top that off, I didn't even think of an excuse to stay put longer!

James leaned against the barn door, on the verge to being sick, "What? Your childish games tiring you now?"

If I wasn't in a state of panic I would totally dig his grave in hay. Just don't answer him and walk out. Yes, that's it. My best friend called to me as I started to journey outside, where the vampire family was waiting for us.

Rudolph asked curious, "What took so long?"

I replied quietly, "I kinda had a whole Oprah realization back there..."

"Who is this Oprah?"

Don't you worry, little vampire.

Gregory squeezed my shoulder lightly, "You've been quiet."

"You're very observant."

He frowned, "Don't change the subject. Can't you tell I'm concerned?"

I laughed, "I didn't know vampires could show any sign of emotion." Apparently, Frederick heard my sarcastic remark and glanced at me. Oops.

Gregory smirked, tracing his stone fingers up and down my arm, "We both know that's not true."

"Now don't you change the subject with vampire seduction."

His defense, "I wasn't. I'm still on the vampires can't love theory."

I tried to fight down the light blush that decided to present itself onto my face. Dammit. I not only lost that battle, but the one where I try to steer the conversation in another direction.
