"So Nicholas will be my boyfriend?" she said not showing any facial expression but her eyes flicked.

"By the looks of it yes."

"It's almost dawn go to bed," Helena told us.

It was winter and my parents were going on one of their 'let's save animals trip' so I was with the Drakes' which was what would have happened anyway. 

Solange and I started climbing up the stairs when Nicky threw the book at us. I caught it.

"Read it, make sure we skip the boring parts.".

Solange looked at us she knew what Nicholas meant.

"Yeah, that's a good point Nicholas we should skip to you and Lucy scenes instead."

"That isn't what I meant" they argued, but for some reason, I didn't mind.

"I know what you meant but I am not going to skip any of it." she been shipping me with Nicky for a while.

Helena stopped them before the argument could go on any further.

I was soo tired I fell asleep straight away and left the work to Solange.

Evening

Everyone had gathered for story time even Sebastian, Marcus and Ducan. Hyacinth and Geoffrey were here just because I and Nicholas get together.

I started reading

"Solange was still asleep, curled around the sunbeams falling on her pillow. I'd already noticed that she was sleeping later and later. I was starting to get nervous for her. Everyone else seemed to think it was a totally normal part of the change. I pulled a sweater on over my nightgown and added thick socks. It was always freezing in the Drake house, no matter the time of year. I went straight to the kitchen to make myself some tea and toast. No one else was awake. I ate my breakfast and then took my tea with me as I wandered through the house."

"In my sleep- dazed state, I'd actually forgotten about Kieran, tied to a sturdy chair in one of the parlors. I froze, cup halfway to my mouth. His eyes were intent, curious, edgy. I might not like his attitude, but I guessed I'd be edgy too if I was tied up in a vampire's house. Especially if I was a brainwashed Helios-Ra agent. The gag was loose around his neck, lying next to his nose plugs. In daylight I noticed he was wearing black jeans and a black shirt, with bare straps where Helena had removed his weapons."

"You look like you belong in a bad comic book," I told him cheerfully.

He stared at me. "You really aren't bothered by the whole vampire thing, are you?"

I shrugged. "Whatever." It was obvious he didn't know what to make of me. I approached curiously. I'd never actually seen a Helios-Ra agent before. I wondered what the fuss was about. He was barely older than we were. His hands were lashed loosely at the wrists so he could move them a little, but his shoulders were tied tighter to the chair back. He wore steel-toed army boots, also attached tightly at the ankles.

"What did the Drakes do that's got you all pissy?"

"What does pissy mean?" Nicholas asked me just to get on my nerves.
