Living the Immortal Life (Sequel to LIF) - ON HOLD!

Chapter 2 - The Beginning of the End

Evelyn's POV

I chewed on the inside of my cheek and winced as I heard another scream emit into the air. “I feel sorry for them”, I said, sinking back lower into my seat. Aaron and I were in John’s house.

Aaron nodded grimly and sat opposite me. “I know right. I can’t imagine their pain”, he replied.

I sighed and tried to make the atmosphere a little less tense by saying, “yeah...but they get to change into a huge canine. That must count for something, right?’’

He looked at me as if I was crazy. Ok, plan failed... “Sure, what fun it must be to have every single bone in your body crack’’, he said sarcastically.

I rolled my eyes at him and said, “oh shut up. When’s Jonathan coming back?”

A cheeky little glint appeared in his eyes. “Oh, looks like someone’s missing someone,’’ he asked, wriggling his eyebrows.

I rolled my eyes and threw the nearest cushion at him, which he easily dodged. “You don’t know me Ron,’’ I muttered.

He laughed freely for the first time in the night. “I know you more than you think,’’ he answered.

“Yeah right. What’s my favourite colour then?’’

“You don’t have one, it changes everyday. But most of the time, you hate green and pink,’’ he smirked.

Dammit! Stupid know-it-all descendant. However, I didn’t show any signs of being defeated. “What’s my favourite animal?” I continued.

He hesitated for a second before saying, “vampire”.

Correct. How did he know that? I mean, I never said it out loud. And technically vampires may or may not be classified as animals, but in my eyes...they are. “What do I do to little boys who annoy me?” I questioned, with an evil smirk.

“Pft...that’s easy yo-“ he began, but then got what I was saying and took off.

I laughed and my smirk got even bigger. “You better hide Aaron, you’re not a new-born anymore so you’re not as fast,” I yelled, giving him a head start. After about 3 seconds, I ran after him. Stupid boy, he’s not very good at hide and seek. “Well you suck at hide and seek,” I grinned, poking him in the ribs.

He rolled his eyes at me and said, “not everyone is as good as you Lyn”.

“I know right....hey wait, what’s that suppose to mean?”

“Uh oh,’’ he gasped before sprinting again. “Hey, let go,” he said, in a middle of a laughing fit. But I didn’t stop tickling him.

“Do you surrender?” I asked in a mock serious tone.

“Hell to the no”.

“Wrong answer kiddo!” I playfully growled. After leaving him breathless, I released him and ruffled his hair.

“Don’t touch the hair Lyn. Anything but the hair,” he muttered as he tried to correct the misplaced hairs.

I chuckled at that and replied, “ego-centric, little boy”.

“I heard that,” Aaron said.

“You were suppose to,” I retorted.

“Whatever,” he grumbled. Then he stuck his tongue out at me.

I only winked at him.

“Aaron, Princesa?” a deep, sexy voice called. Jonathan was back.

“In here John,” I replied.

“Yeah and tell ‘Princesa’ here to behave,” Aaron said in a singsong voice.

I blew a raspberry at Aaron and went out to John. “Hey John. Everyone...more comfortable now?” I asked before giving him a hug.

He hugged back and sighed. “Hey guys. And yes, I think their all ok now,” he said.

I nodded, understandingly. John has a big heart andhe cares for everyone. “Good,” I commented before flexing my stiff back.

“Are you thirsty?”

“Umm, a little’’.

“Good, ‘cause we’re going hunting,” Jonathan said with a smile.

I raised an eyebrow at him questioningly.

“It’s better if we do it now, than later,” he explained.

“Oh, in that case. Ok. Aaron are you thirsty?” I called out. I think Aaron had gone to his room.

“No thanks. I’m all full. I had a blood bag already,” he answered.

“Ok but we’re still going. Will you be ok?’’

“Of course I’ll be fine,’’ he replied in a bored tone.

I turned my attention back to Jonathan and clapped my hands together. “Guess it’s just us two,” I chirped.

Jonathan smirked and said, “It seems so”. Then he went and opened the front door for me. “Ready?” he asked.

I nodded, grabbing his hand as I walked outside. “Yup,” I grinned.

He wrapped an arm around my waist casually and kept it there. My stomach erupted into butterflies. He probably meant it in a friendly gesture, but I was...I mean my body was over reacting by the simple touch. Luckily, my heartbeat didn’t increase; otherwise it would have been embarrassing. “So...do you like this place?’’ Jonathan asked.

I shrugged and replied, “it’s ok”.

“It is, isn’t it? I like it here”.

“I figured”.

He laughed and said, “well, I hope you are ready for high school...or should I say...secondary school’’.

I groaned and cursed under my breath. “I hate school,” I mumbled.

“I know, but you’ll have me,” he said, pointing at himself.

I rolled my eyes at him and said, “still can’t see the good side, sorry’’.

He glared at me slightly and pouted his lips. It was so adorable. Wait, did I just use the word ‘adorable’? I did, didn’t? What’s wrong with me? “I’m a teacher and you will be one too,” he sighed.

Oh yeah, did I forget to say that I am not going to be a student, but a teacher instead. Surely it must be more fun.

“Oh, yeah, sure, of course. Because looking after kids is so much fun’,’ I said with sarcasm that was oozing out of every word.

He grinned, almost stopping my non-existing h  eart. “Come on, being a teacher isn’t that bad. I mean, especially if you’re hot like me,’’ he said smugly.

I sighed dramatically and said, “true, but it will stop them from learning though. They wouldn’t be able of concentrate on their work if they are too busy drooling over me’’.

He laughed but it was slightly forced and was edged with...nervousness? “Err, yeah,” he said quite awkwardly.

Hunting was boring as ever and I don’t even think you can even call it hunting. We just drank blood from ‘willing’ humans but not enough to kill them. Get what I mean? Boring.
