Alex and Sierra~ Little Do You Know

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Brooklyn~ 

It's freezing... that's the first thought I have as I step outside with leaves against my socks, why am I even in socks? That's also my thought right now.

"It's autumn!" Tristan grabs my hand and brings me back in. "And so Halloween is coming!" He grins. 

I smile at him. "Tristan... since when do you like Halloween?" I raise my brow. 

"Since I was 10, I always dressed up as a pumpkin." He laughs and turns to the coffee pot. 

I laugh and join him with a mug of my own. "A pumpkin? Seriously... I would've thought you'd dress up as dracula when you we're a kid." I wink. 

He chuckles and takes a look at me. "Oh? And what did you dress up as? A ghost? Slutty rabbit?" He winks. 

I raise my brow. "Tristan... I was freaking 10!" 

"Let me guess, you were a childish rabbit?" He asks. 

"I was always the princess till I grew up and changed into... a zombie." 

He laughs a lot until he pulls me to him. "That's a interesting choice... no vampires then?" 

"Nope, I was always greeted by a lot of them, so I wanted to be different." 

"Great choice, they don't dress the part." He scrunches his nose and drinks. 

"Oh? And how do childish vampires dress?" 

"Leather." He remarks. 

I giggle and close the window that was letting the cold air in. "Just don't dress up as a fucking pumpkin." I say. 

"Why not? The kids will love it." He winks and goes over to the lounge. "We need candy by the way.." 

"Your in for this Halloween thing then? The whole thing...?" 

He nods. "I've always enjoyed Halloween treats." 

"And the tricks?" I raise my brow at him, crossing my arms. "I wouldn't want to open the door to your tricks." 

"My tricks we're legendary sweetheart, even the elder wanted to see the pranks I pulled." 

"Oh sweet Tristan.." I laugh. "Nice on the inside, and naughty on the outside." 

"Or both ways." He winks at me. 

"Oh you!" I through a pillow at him. 

There's knocks from the front door and I walk over to it to see Leah, joined by Emma, they we're dressed in stylish coats, as far as I knew. Leah never liked Halloween, but Em? I had no clue. 

"Come on in guys! Tristan's in the lounge." 

"Tristan!!!" Emma squeals and runs towards the lounge, I turn to Leah and she shrugs. 

"Don't ask me..." Leah says.... "Doesn't mean I know what she's on about, if I'm a vampire." 

Hey.. wait, I'm the only human in this group... how did I suddenly forget it? This was something that I had to get used to.. but then.. do I have to get used to it? Did I want this life? A vampire.... I've never thought about the concept. 

"Ah... Brook?" Leah waves her hands in front of me and I blink. 

"Ah..? Yes!?" I ask her. 

"Can we go to the lounge now? Or do we need to talk about something?" She narrows her eyes.
