A World Behind Walls (Tokio Hotel Story)

Chapter 21

Chapter 21

    I couldn’t speak. Did he really just say what I think he said? Tom was still staring at me with that hopeful look in his eyes. It was quiet all around us. Tom out his hand gently on my face and pulled it closer to him.

    “Lori, say something. Please.” he said.

    “I don’t know what to say Tom.”

    “Say yes.” he told me.

    “Yes.” I jumped up out of shock when the whole room burst into applause. I laughed.  Everyone came up to us and hug each of us. Victor came to me and kissed both my cheeks. 

    “I’m happy for you both, so much.”

    He patted my head and smiled.

    “Alright everyone, the sun is rising, now it’s time to go to bed.” said Victor.  

    Once again there were grumbles but they did as they were told. But not before Victor had the last word.

    “You guys are getting married tomorrow night.” My eyes opened in shock, and I sat up. But Tom pulled me back down. He moved my head so that it was sitting down on his shoulder. He kissed my forehead and we gently feel asleep. In the middle of the night I could smell that something wasn’t right. It woke me up from a dead sleep and when I went to get up, Tom Pulled me down. It was then that I noticed that also everyone else’s eyes were open. It was coming from above us. The noise that woke me up. Someone was digging in the dirt and they were close to us.

    I could smell that they were not a threat, but they, or he was older, much older than us. He seemed to know that we were all awake, and waiting for him. As we all looked up at the same time, to see dirt beginning to move.  And after that a hole started to appear.

    It took a moment but a head then appeared hanging upside down it was Gregory.  He was a young well to you humans, he was almost my age. Around the age of 16 I was sure he was. On his chest was a tattoo I never really got to see it fully. He was a very polite for a boy. But in reality he was too told. He was born in the year 1200 AD. He is known to be one of the oldest vampires in our world. He was supposed to be our King but he declined something about how he thought that he was too young.

    Everyone seemed to calm down about knowing that our French ally friend was here. I guess that Victor must have sent for him. But there was one problem Gregory had a very huge and annoying crush on me. There was a time when he asked me that if he asked me to married him would I say yes.  I never got to answer, because Candy ran up to me and told me to help her with her outfit. I never thought that my older sister would ever help me out. 

    As Gregory’s head moved around in a circle trying to find someone, me. I quickly moved so that I was hiding behind Tom. But my movement caused some sound. And Gregory’s head turned in my direction. A smile lit up his face. 

    “Lorelei! There you are!.” his head disappeared and then his body was falling from the hole above all of us. He landed with barley any sound, but ran toward me.

    “Oh, Lorelei! It’s so good to see you again, it’s been 2 years since I last saw you!” He wrapped his arms around me in a hug. Tom stiffened beside me, and wrapped his arm around me.

    Gregory let me go and stepped back. “When I arrived and saw that the castle was burned to the ground, I thought that I was too late. But then I smelled power a strong power. It was you Lorelei, and I knew that most of you had made it to the underground tunnel. I was so happy about it that I thought that I had lost you Lorelei. I was so scared.” He came over to me once again but Tom moved in his way and acted like nothing happened at all.

    “Oh uh um, I’m sorry I didn’t know that you to were engaged, um congratulations to the both of you.” his face looked pained. And he stepped away again. He looked at my finger and his smile lit up. He noticed that I didn’t have a ring on my finger at all.

    “Well I guess I’ll be seeing you both soon.” he turned around and went to talk to Victor. They both talked in hushed tones, but at times they would both look over were Tom had put his arms around me gently.

    “Lori!” I looked to my left and saw my sister Candy. She ran over to me and looked me up and down. Then he hit me across the face. The crowed around us went silent, Candy just hit a former queen.

    “how dare you make me worry about you! How dare you kill King Antonio! And how dare you keep Andy’s death a secret from me!” then she pulled me into a hug and cried into my shirt.

    “I’m sorry, everything was just happening so fast. I’m sorry.”

    She released me shortly after but not before she let something slip, “Sorry must be my hormones.” I squeaked and pulled her aside. 

    “Are you pregnant also? Again?” her eyes seemed to shine when she very quickly nodded her head. And we both squealed like little girls. Bill came over and wrapped his arms around her making sure that his hands landed on her stomach. He gently kissed her cheek.

    “I thought that we were going to tell everyone later on?” Candy was quiet. “Oh so now you don’t want to talk about it.” he laughed and kissed her again. Tom came over and also wrapped his arms around me doing the same as Bill. 

    “That Gregory is getting on my nerves.” he told me. Bill and Candy laughed at him.

    “What? He is. He hugs you again and I will rip him to peaces.”

    We all laughed. But he was right Gregory, did have a big crush on me and him staying for a while will not work with what was going on.  But I knew I would learn something from this.
