A Sharp Revenge

Chapter 15

"Oh Hey Hannah, sorry to intrude in your convasation but I need to take Ella for... Yeah okay well bye," Ryan smiled hanging up the phone.

"What was that for?" I screeched at him, giving him my best 'you shouldn't have done that' glare.

"You deserved it," Jordan and Ryan said together.

"No I didn't," I pouted, glaring at them both.

"You did," Rosalyn and Mark said.

"Outnumbered," Ryan yelled and I threw my hands into the air, you couldn't win with these vampires!

"Okay, stop arguing," Jordan sighed and I rolled my eyes.

"Stop being a being a benvolio," Mark said.

"What?" I said, really confused. I'd never heard of a benvolio before, though it sounded Italian and slightly familiar....

"In the play Romeo and Juliet, Romeo's cousin was called Benevolio and in Italian it means 'Good Will' The whole way through the play he stopped fights like I attempt to do here," Jordan said sighing again

"Can you speak Italian?" I asked, eagerly, I thought being able to speak Italian would be really cool!

"Sì, posso parlare italiano, francese, spagnolo, tedesco, russo, latino, portoghese, gallese e molto altro," Jordan said easily.

"What?" I asked. Languages weren't really my strong point, I was really bad at French and I'd been learning it for five years already.

"Yes I can speak Italian, French, Spanish, German, Russian, Latin, Portuguese, Welsh and a lot more," Jordan sighed again.

"Really?" I said, amazed and a little bit impressed.

"Yes, Sì, Oui, Sí, ja, да, sic, sim, ie," Jordan said. I just stared at him, only understanding the first word.

"Huh?" I asked.

"I just said yes in all those languages," Jordan sighed yet again, he was sighing rather a lot now for some reason. Maybe it was all the questions about languages...

"Oh, I can only speak one phrase in french, desole Je ne peux pas parler français (sorry I can't speak french)," I said laughing , me and Hannah had looked up how to say that specific phrase for our speaking test last year, that had been funny.

"Well that's a lie, saying you can't speak french seen as you said that," Jordan said, acting all smart again.

"You get what it was meant to mean," I said, hitting him playfully.

"Yeah, okay, Ella let's explain what's happening tomorrow and the following days," he said.

"Okay," I nodded.

"Okay, well tomorrow I'm going home with you, and I'm going to live with you for a while and then at school, Rosalyn, Ryan and I are coming with you," Jordan said.

I felt like glaring at them all, I had understood the plan the first time they had told me, despite not being a vampire I was not, infact, stupid. Instead I just smiled sweetly at Jordan and Ryan, "Does Rick know that about you guys being a couple?" I asked in my sweetest voice.

They both sent me extremely dirty looks, "You're never going to let that go." Jordan said darkly, though it was more a statement than a question, I  nodded, still grinning

"That's why you shouldn't kidnap people." I said in a sing song voice.

"You aren't going to let that go either, are you?" Ryan asked and I just shrugged.

"Where did you get the scones, Ella?" Rosalyn asked, looking just a little bit confused.

"In the cupboard." I said, slowly. "Where else would I have got them?" I asked, wondering where the strange question had come from.

"Did you buy them?" Rosalyn asked Jordan, who immeadiatly shook his head as if horrified by the thought. I rolled my eyes, what did vampires have against such a simple, tasty breakfast food?

"Was it you?" The two vampire siblings turned on Ryan, who held his hands  up in the air.

"You know I would never buy such foul things!" He told them in a tone of mock hurt.

The three vampires deliberated between themselves for a few moments while I watched, trying not to laugh.

Then they all turned to Mark, "Did you buy them?"

Mark looked decidedly uncomfortable, which only really made me laugh all the more.

"I don't see what's so bad about them!" He protested, "They're actually quite nice when toasted, though not as nice as Ella's blood would be..."

I stopped laughing at that and glared in Mark's direction, still feeling a little bit scared of him but knowing that he was most likely only joking. He just smiled widely at me and I resisted the urge to run accross the room and hide behind someone.

Glaring at the other vampires, who now looked a little more amused, whether it was because of what Mark had said or the whole scone thing, I stood up. "I'm going to pack my stuff"

The others just nodded, obviously thinking that this was a good idea. Walking out through the door, I picked my phone off the chair Ryan had left it on when he stood up, hoping that they wouldn't notice.

No one seemed to notice and as soon as I was halfway up the stairs, I phoned Hannah.

"Ella!" I winced at the sound of the high voice in my ear.

"Hannah, indoor voice." I said, laughing.

"Why won't you answer your phone and why does Ryan keep taking it when you do?" She asked, her voice a little suspicious.

I laughed, only a little forcefully, "Because he loves being irritating. I'll be back tomorrow"

I could practically hear her roll her eyes, "You make it sound like you've been kidnapped!"

I almost laughed out loud then, for once Hannah's dramatic suspicisions were spot on. I was thinking off something sarcastic to say when I heard someone coming.

"Just a minute." I told Hannah before cutting off the call and trying to look as innocent as I could.
