The Vampire & The Witch(Trials of sucess)

Part 11

   "I'll go make you some soup."She said while walking out.

   "Mom you don't have to..."There was no point in calling after her once she's in the kitchen there's no talking her down.

   "Someone really misses you."Josh said while putting the rag on my head and climbing into the bed to hold me.

   "Josh I'm sick."

   "Vampire remember?"

Somehow that big detail keeps slipping my mind. He doesn't get sick, he doesn't get cold or hot, and he doesn't eat.

   "Josh, when's the last time you fed?"

   "Don't worry about me just rest."He said kissing my head.

   "I'll rest if you promise me that you will feed."

   "I promise."

   "Tonight Josh, I mean it."

   "Yes mom."

   "Smart ass."

   "I got soup."My mom sung as she placed the soup on the dresser by the bed.

   "Thanks mom."

She gave me a quick kiss and closed the door behind her. I ate all of her chicken noodle soup and I was feeling better. My mom's soup always made me feel better, I used to call it her magic soup, she probably put some healing herbs in it.

    "Soup must have been really good."Josh said.

    "Mhmm." I said while licking my lips.

Josh stared at me for a long time as if he was reading my mind, well he can't read my mind because I'm supernat...You get the point.

      "If you do not go and eat now I will shove this spoon down your throat."

      "I love it when you're mad. It makes you look sexy."He wiggled his eyebrows

      "Oh gosh."I giggled while he kissed my forehead.

      "I'll be back,later babes."

As he left the room I grabbed the remote to the TV and turned it on.

     "Wheel...Of....Fortune."Blasted through the speakers, so I sat there and watched three re-run episodes until I dozed off again. I really need to find productive things to do instead of sleep and I assure you I am not pregnant, Although my monthly gift is late. I woke up to the Channel 5 news. I was just about to turn the TV off when I saw Howl's picture on the upper right side of the TV.

    "Mom, Dad, Josh , come here, hurry!"

All three of them rushed through the door and looked at the TV.

    "Howl McKnight,49, was last seen locking up his diner Saturday night. If you have any information on where Howl might be please contact the FBI at 1-267-CRIME-LINE. I'm Carla Weathers with California Witness News, back to you Don." The blonde hair reporter said with a fake smile on her face.

Josh turned the TV off and watched my facial expression.

    "McKnight...McKnight....McKnight."My mom said repeating the name over and over again like she was chanting.

   "Karin, what's wrong?"My dad asked.

   "McKnights are powerful, they run everything. They even run the police departments. They are GOD to witch hunters everywhere."

It gets worse? Killing a witch hunter is one thing, but a powerful witch hunter, really? Am I being punished? I listen to my mother,sometimes, I recycle when necessary and I don't drink, except that time when I woke up in the bed with a chicken...still not sure where it came from though. Other than that I think that I'm a good little girl.

    "How about we go out for dinner, I know this great Italian place."My dad said.

    "Olive Garden doesn't count dad."

    "Okay well I know another great Italian place."

Mom couldn't help but laugh at him. They have been together for 9 years and not to mention the fact that they went to school together. My mom always loved him but she was worried about what Nana would say so she was pressured into dating Kevin. When he left she was lost and then this wonderful man came to the rescue and made her realize that she still had feelings for him.

    "Okay let me change and we can go." I said.

I put on a red shirt, left my daisy dukes on, and slicked my hair back into a ponytail. We got into the car and drove to that fancy Italian restaurant that my dad was talking about. Diner was amazing  but I felt bad for Josh because he had to eat the food. Can you imagine how awkward it would be telling my dad about Josh. 'Hey dad the reason Josh doesn't eat food is because he's a vampire and this pasta is amazing, can you pass the cheese?'. It would have ended with us in the hospital, from my dad fainting, and I do not need anymore stress added to my plate. We drove home listening to my dad sing Johnny Cash and that was torture.

   "We better go to sleep, we have to pick up Nana from the airport tomorrow."My mom said.

With everything that happened here I forgot Nana was coming. I have so much to learn from her.

I watched as my mom left the living room to go to bed.

    "It's been a long three days."I said putting my feet on Josh's lap. He started massaging them and I laid my head back.

    "I know babe, but you have your family here to support you."

I pulled my feet away from Josh, stood up and stretched.

    "Come on lets go to bed."

    "Yes finally lets go to bed."He gripped my waist and pulled me closer.

    "That's not what I meant, I meant lets go to sleep."

    "Babe."He said pouting his lip.

    "You look cute when you pout and it's only been like three days you sex crazed man."

      "That's a long time."

      "I'm not having sex while my parents are in the house."

       "We will see."

        "Go to sleep."I said trying to keep a smirk off of my face.
