The Devil In I (Corey Taylor) (Slipknot) (Vampire) *COMPLETED*

Chapter Two

2 MONTHS LATER

COREY

Fae looked pretty zoned out as I approached her from behind. She was a freelance artist and worked from home most of the time. We'd been together two months and she'd given me a key to her apartment since I was always over here. I stand in front of her desk which was covered in sketchbooks and snap my fingers in front of her face to grab her attention.

"Hello, anyone home?"

Fae blinks a few times and jumps back nearly falling off her chair making me laugh. She was clumsy, that was something I learned pretty fast and was one of her many quirks.

"Stop scaring me like this Corey, I swear I'm going to take your key back one day."

She puts her hand over her chest. I walk around the desk and she spins in her chair to face me. the afternoon sun comes through the window illuminating her making her hair look like it was on fire.

"You were zoned out, what were you thinking "

She grins, "I was remembering the night we met. Can I ask you a question, Corey?"

I nod, "ask away."

"Would you have smashed that guys face into the bar?"

I was surprised she was asking me this out of the blue. I would have done anything to make the creep go away.

"Anything to protect you Fae."

I lean down and capture her lips, she wraps her arms around my neck and I stand back up picking her up with ease making her wrap her legs around my waist to support herself. Our lips morphed perfectly together as I carry her towards the bedroom, what could I say we both couldn't keep our hands off each other.

I drop her on the bed and crawl on top of her making her giggle, "someone's horny today Mr. Taylor."

I roll my eyes, "have you seen my girlfriend? She's smoking hot."

Fae slaps my chest. But before we can go any further my phone goes off in my back pocket making me growl in frustration.

"Answer your phone, I'll still be here Corey."

I grab my phone and feel like smashing it against the wall, it was Sid the great cock block himself. But I bring the phone to my ear and answer anyway knowing he wouldn't stop calling.

"Hello, Sid."

"Am I good at cock blocking or what Corey? Anyway, Shawn's calling a meeting and everyone including your pretty face needs to get here quickly."

Beneath me, Fae chuckles, "hi Sid."

"Put me on loudspeaker Taylor."

I give into Sid's command and put him on loudspeaker before mouthing 'don't encourage him' at Fae.

"Hi Fae, do you mind if I borrow your guy?"

Fae sighs, "when you ask so nicely Sid how can a girl refuse. You can have him, but I want him back."

Sid and Fae met by chance. A month ago Sid got curious and followed me, crashing one of mine and Fae's dates. They got on like a house on fire. Sid was the only one who knew about Fae, I didn't know how the others would react to the news I was dating someone before getting their approval.

"I'll make sure to return him in one piece Fae, you have my word. Later lovebirds."

Sid hangs up and I shake my head, "I'll pop around later if I can. My band can be pretty hot headed and they still don't know about us."

Fae sits up and wraps her arms back around my neck before pecking my lips, "we'll tell them when the time is right Corey. I love you so much, now go to your meeting before they come looking for you."

I peck her lips, "god you're perfect Fae."

She releases me and crawls out from beneath me. I get off the bed and follow her out of the bedroom but not before slapping her perky ass that looked fine in the short shorts she was wearing because of the hot weather.

FAE

Corey leaves as quickly as he had arrived which made me a little upset, then again I didn't want to get clingy after only two months of dating. The best distraction was work and daydreaming.

COREY

Pulling up outside the band house I kill the engine and take note that everyone's car was here minus Paul's which was unusual since he was meant to be getting back into town yesterday.

I find the band sat or stood around the main lounge all looking upset and broken. I make eye contact with Shawn and he shakes his head, Sid had been upbeat on the phone like twenty minutes ago but now he looked shaken to the core.

"You're here Corey, I have some bad news."

Shawn motions for me to sit down so I sit next to Jim.

"What news?"

"Paul's dead, killed by hunters on his way over here."

I was shocked, Paul couldn't be dead. He was our leader, the one of us who seemed to have answers for every problem any of us had. Why the fuck couldn't the hunters leave us alone?

"What's the plan, Shawn?" Chris chimes in.

"Management want us to do a press conference. Then I think we spilt for a bit, get out of town."

The last part catches my attention, Shawn wanted us to leave town. I couldn't do that, there was something drawing me to Fae. Sid mouths 'sorry' but I wasn't going to give up on my one shot of happiness.

"I'm not leaving town Shawn."

Everyone's heads snap in my direction, while Sid tries to look anywhere else. Next, to me, Jim clears his throat.

"Is this because of the girl Corey?"

I glare at Sid who raises his hands in surrender, "they must have overheard our call when I was talking to you and Fae earlier."

I couldn't stay mad at him, this day was going to come but I just wished Fae and I had been together longer.

"Something's drawing me to her, I'm not leaving town but you guys can."

The rest of the band have a silent conversation clearly not involving me or Sid. My phone vibrates with a new message off Fae, it was a photo attachment of her having drawn a fake moustache on herself stating she was bored.

"Is that her?"

I turn off my phone and nod to Mick's question.

"We can discuss moving another time then. Let's focus on Paul and the hunters."

No one usually questioned me when I put my foot down. I needed to know if the hunters were going to be a problem, I wouldn't have any other band member or even Fae hurt.
