Taken Legend #2

7: Hello cousin!

The house that stands before me is nothing like the abandoned houses that we have been staying at for the past two weeks. This house seems cozy and flowers vary in all sizes and colors. It's a two story house and there is a white tuck sitting in the gravel driveway.

"Where are we?" I ask Carter.

"My cousins. He's a vampire." Carter answered. He grabbed my hand and led me across the field and to the front door kid the house. Carter knocked a couple times and backed up. I can hear footsteps heading to the front door. A guy probably a couple years older than us opens the door. He has dark brown eyes and short brown hair. He's quite built, I can see from the short sleeved , tight gray shirt he has on.

"Carter!" The guy greets. Carter steps forward and they do their man hug, slap on the back.

"How are you man?" His cousin asks.

"Not so good." Carter replies.

"Come in." His cousin opens the door wider and Carter grabs my hand to walk in. We walk into the living room and sit down on the couch.

"Who's this beauty here?" His cousin asks.

"This is my girlfriend, Cara." Carter says. I hold out my hand.

"My names Sebastian." His cousin introduces.

"Nice to meet you." I reply as he shakes my hand.

"Dude, what's wrong?" Sebastian asks.

"I have gotten myself into some deep trouble. I got in contact with my mom." Carter says.

"Oh man! Why would you do that? I heard she and Lawrence tried killing the legend a while back. She's evil." Sebastian said.

"I know. That's my problem. She asked me to kidnap the legend because she made me believe she's evil. I went through with it, but I for sure regret my decision." Carter explained.

"Wait! You're the legend?" Sebastian's surprised face turns to me. I nod.

"Wow!"

"It has its disadvantages." I whisper, not expecting anyone to hear me. Carter squeezes my hand for comfort.

We all talk and Carter and I explain our situation. Sebastian let me use his shower and gave me some of his clothes to wear. There really wasn't time to get me clothes so I just took his.

Carter and I basically spent the rest of the afternoon resting form our exhausting trip. I was watching Gossip Girl when Carter said he was going to head to bed. I wanted to watch the rest of this episode and then I would be up.

I guess I must have gotten a little too tired no more than ten minutes later, I was asleep. I'm actually quite angry I didn't stay up later because this episode happens to be very interesting at the moment.

I had a nightmare and jumped up from my sleep. Sweat covered my face and I took deep breaths. I wiped away the tears going down my face. When I looked around I noticed the TV was still on and some late night show is on. I looked around and saw its two in the morning.

I hopped up from the couch and made my way to the guest bedroom where Carter is. The nightmare really scared me and I just needed to be in the safe arms of Carter.

The door was closed, so I turned the knob quietly. I closed the door behind me and tiptoed to Carter. He seemed so peaceful. Like theirs not a worry in the world. I lifted the blankets and slid under and snuggled closer to Carter. His arm lifted and wrapped around my waist. I rested my head on his chest and instantly went to sleep.

The rest of the night I dreamt about Gossip Girl oddly. There was Nate Archibald which I may happen to be in love with. I mean he is gorgeous and the most sweetest guy on the show. How can you not love him?

My dream was interrupted when I felt the bed shift. I opened my eyes and Carter was getting back under the blanket.

"Where did you go?" I asked.

"Had to use the bathroom. You okay?" He asked.

"Yeah, had a nightmare last night." I answered. Carter kissed my forehead.

"I see...so who's this Nate Archibald guy?" Carter asked, his eyebrows furrowed. I started cracking up laughing. Carter is looking at me like I'm crazy, that's how hard I'm laughing. I wiped my eyes and calmed myself down to answer his question.

"Nate Archibald is a guy off of Gossip Girl."

"Oh...well you were sleep talking last night saying you loved him." Carter said a hint of jealousy in his tone.

"Oh was someone jealous?" I teased.

"Well my girlfriend said she loved another guy. So yeah.." Carter answered truthfully.

"Don't worry, you're my number one." I said and kissed his cheek. He grabbed my face when I pulled away and kissed my lips. I feel his smile as he kisses me and I let out a small laugh. I pulled away and made a silly face at him.

"Do I smell pancakes!" I hopped from the bed and ran down the steps. Leaving Carter behind to get last picks on what pancakes he wants.
