The Academy Vampire

{ Chapter 34 } - Oh Look, More Cars.

A/N: Hi. Enjoy :)

-----------------------------

--- Olivia's Pov ---

"You two better calm the fuck down, or I'm turning this car around," I growled.

"No!" The boys whined like the children they were.

"Then you all better shut the fuck up before you make me rear-end Sean by mistake," I snapped.

"He'd probably welcome it to the silence that's probably going on in that car," Aiden surmised.

"You think it's quiet in there? I think they're arguing up a storm," Asher pointed out.

"What would they be arguing about? They tried to steal the notebook, but it didn't work. Sean got over it quickly." Elijah stated.

"But they're messing around with his niece's life, and with Owen's. Sean's too riled up now by the possibility of finding out what happened to his sister to think straight, either," Cody grimaced.

"But Sang compelled them not to argue," Elijah stated.

"If they're trying to defend her honor, they'll break that hold she has on them long enough to go against her compulsion. That's all Sean needs right now, that one slip of the tongue, and he'll be leaping over the back of the seat at one of them," Cody said with a small chuckle.

"What do you think they're talking about right now, then?" Asher asked.

"Will you three just shut the fuck up? Seriously. I'm trying to concentrate on the road," I growled.

They all went silent, especially Cody. I was worried for a second, looking in the rear-view mirror.

Cody's face was pale, his eyes unfocused. I recognized the look as the one he got whenever he was having a vision of some sort. I called up Sean, instructing him to tell the rest of the cars to pull over and stop at the nearest hotel.

By the time we were able to find one and settle him on the bed, the vision was just about done, and Cody's face was coated with tear stains.

"What happened?" Elijah asked.

"They were talking about something important in it... I've seen some of this vision before, but I forgot about it. Something will go wrong tomorrow, and there's nothing we can do to stop it."

"Something? Like what?" Asher asked.

"I can't tell you that, Asher, But I can tell you that all of us make it out right. We can't stop it from happening, even if we wanted to, though. It has to happen."

"Leave him alone about it," Aiden slapped Asher in the back of the head.

"Does it have to do with Sang?" Elijah asked softly.

We all silenced, waiting for the answer.

"Everything I see has to do with Sang lately, it seems," Cody sighed. "I don't want to think of this one, though."

I knew that even if he didn't want to think about it, he would all night. I knew I had to shut this down now, though, before one of the other boys asked one question too many, and makes Cody shut down.

"That's perfectly alright, Cody," I smiled, messing up his hair. "We should probably head to bed soon, anyway, We're going to have another long drive tomorrow, and I don't want to be dealing with you all if you don't get any sleep."

"We're not the cranky ones," Asher said under his breath.

"Say it like you mean it, and call me a fucking bitch," I growled, grabbing him by the front of the shirt.

"You're not that bad today. You've certainly been worse," he answered. He knew not to avoid eye contact, or I'd be even more pissed.

"Whatever," I said, kissing him for his honesty before pushing him back.

"What's the plan after we find her father?" Elijah asked.

"Well, Sean was saying we were going to-." Aiden began to explain as I pulled Cody aside.

"Be honest with me, how bad is it going to be?" I asked, hugging him to me and rocking us back and forth.

"It's going to be really bad, Livvy. I don't know what we're going to do. I don't know what Sang's going to do."

"Is she going to be alright?" I asked.

"Depends on what you mean by 'alright'. She's definitely going to need us, and Sean. Her boys aren't going to understand what's going to happen next."

"Will we even be able to help?"

"I don't know, Livvy. I really don't know," he started to tear up, hugging me tighter. "I'm so worried about her."

"I know, sweetheart. So am I," I whispered, rubbing his back. "Just calm down for tonight, and try to sleep. We can't do anything about it tonight, so let it be, and lay down with me, alright?"

"But I could try-."

"No, Cody. You won't be able to help out tomorrow if you don't at least try to get some sleep. Humor me, and at least try?" I asked, batting my eyelashes.

He nodded, and we walked back over to the bed, where the boys had already stripped down to their boxers, and fell asleep.

'Stupid fucking boys couldn't even wait for me...'

Cody and I looked at each over before climbing into the mound of boys, finding a crevice to curl up into before trying to fall asleep, ourselves.

--- Owen's Pov ---

It was so... awkward in the car.

Neither of our duos wanted to speak to the other, choosing to stay silent instead of being adults.

"So... Steal anything nice, lately?" Sean started off.

Mr. Taylor huffed.

"You can try to convince us that we were wrong, but you know you would do the same if Mr. Blackbourne was in danger."

"You're correct. However, I would have been successful in the attempt. A concept you two seem to have a hard time grasping," Sean joked.

"Watch it," Mr. Griffin snapped.

"Down doggy. North won't do anything to me, and you definitely won't do anything. All you two do is give idle threats."

"Well, so do you," Mr. Griffin snapped, crossing his arms.

Suddenly, the boys found a knife stuck in the back of the seat, millimeters from hitting one of their shoulders.

The both yelped at the contact sound of the knife going through leather seats.

"Next time I won't miss," Sean growled.

The boys visibly gulped.

"Now, can we reach an understanding?" he growled. "You don't mess with my life, and I won't mess with yours. I'm done playing games with you boys, and Sang is just about at her limit, as well. It won't take much for me to convince her that she doesn't need you boys."

'You wouldn't," Mr. Taylor whispered.

"I would. My family comes first, and I will not put up with you in her life if you don't smarten up. It's not fair to her, after all she's gone through already. She has a choice to make when this is all done and over, and if you keep doing what you're doing, I don't think you're going to like the results."

The car went back to silence after that, until Olivia informed us that Cody needed time to rest.

A/N: Getting closer and closer to the ending... and closer to the sequel :)
