What is love? (Austin Mahone - Complete) (Rewriting)

Chapter 12 - Aly

I laid on the blue velvet sofa in the glass room, my red bra showing through my black sear shirt that was pulled up, showing my tummy. I moved my fingers across the scars and sighed, thinking of Tyler when he was turned to dust that morning. I thought of Alex, how he was now engraved on me and how awkward he was last night when he was told to wash me. How he didn't know what to do when the pain happened in the kitchen, how he just held my shoulders, didn't even call for help, but I wouldn't blame them; what could he or anyone in the house do? I thought of Austin and how he wanted to touch me and love me but couldn't because of his code; how he would do actions on me but tried not to let it go any further. I thought of yesterday when Mr. Black came, how happy he was to see me like I was a long lost child that he just got in contact with, how he shifted me back and forth and welcomed me into his home, into his family.

I sighed, pulling my shift down to the top of my black lace skirt. I moved my feet off the sofa and pulled them off the sofa, sitting up. I placed my hands on the edge of the sofa on each side of me and looked down, studying the circle pattern in my tights. I didn't want to turn in Tyler's replacement, but would I even like it better if I replaced the member of the Sheikah pack? Get the mark on my arm instead of my torso? Be the new member of the Sheikah pack but got placed in Mr. Black's pack? I heard footsteps stop at the doorway, seeing Mr. Black standing there, his hands on his cane.

"Multum tibi putas puer meus," he said

You think a lot, my child. 

I nodded and looked down, "I'm worried, sir." 

"Jake," he said as I looked back at him, "My name is Jake,"

"But we don't call you that, do we?" I asked

He gave a small smile, "You can call me whatever you want, I have no problem being called anything." 

I nodded as he walked to me, sitting down on the sofa next to me. "Why did you want me to replace the member in the Sheikah pack?" 

"Sarah was the difficult one," he said, still hands still on the lion's head of the cane, "Thought you guys might be the same," 

I looked away and bit my lip, "But you were too late," 

He took in a long inhale, "I was, and I take full responsibility for it," 

"You're not telling me all of it," I said, shaking my head

He grinned, "I see your abilities are coming in nicely," he started, "but no, I'm not."

"Then what are you not telling me?" I asked, finally looking at him, seeing the grin still on his face.

He nodded, "I didn't want you to deal with lovers right now; it was already bad that Austin engraved on you. You're still new, expergiscimini, et quod vivere non sumus." 

Awake and alive as we are

"What happens on their part?" I asked

"Well, the Sheikah pack moves on. Like us, they are a new vampire to teach." 

"What's are pack called?" I asked, looking down at my bare feet. 

"We're Children of the Night,"

"How many other packs are there?" I asked,

"Well, theres us, Sheikah, Blood Rejects, Dishonored Refugees, Devil's Coven, and Ofelia." He replied, looking straight ahead at the piano.

"We're all allies?" I asked

"No, not really," he said, "We only get along with Ofelia and Blood Rejects." 

I looked at him, "We're not even allies with the pack whose member has fallen,"

He shook his head and looked at me "We are on good terms, but we have our packs to go to if we need to. Plus, Sheikah has their own way of things," 

He moved his right hand from his cane and swiped it in the air, creating black dust, showing ten members, their names are written under them, "The use black magic, something we don't really like to use unless we absolutely need to, but that is their first opinion." 

The line of members started from left to right with a brown curly-haired boy named Alex, a buzz-cut boy named Troy, a redhead named Aly, a tall skinny man named Daryl, a long-haired boy called Angel, two black twins called Ethan and Jacus, a Hispanic boy named Kelly, a blonde that looked like Angel named Rose and a tall boy named Rico. 

"Her," he said and pointed to Aly, "Is their new welcome." 

She didn't look as bad as I felt, but the pain isn't really something you see on the outside. He swiped his hand again over the image, taking it away. "I heard she is doing fine in their Turning, almost close to Biting." 

"Biting?" I asked

"The final stage includes scars of being replaced, abilities being developed, eye colors and Biting." 

"And what exactly does that mean?" I asked

"Someone you love has to officially turn you," he said looking at me, "Aly doesn't have anyone, so the Chairmen of the pack, in this case, Daryl will turn her." 

"And I have?" I asked, I knew the answer but I wanted it to be said out loud for my brain to process it. 

"Austin and Alex," he said, "If the new vampire has been engraved, the vampire who had engraved will Turn them. But it's gonna be a sticky process."

"How?" I asked, "Where their gonna bite?" 

He chuckled and shook his head, "Whoever turns the vampire, goes in Heating for forty-two hours, my darling."

"Great, I already had two boys on me, now they're gonna try to fuck me," I said, running my hand through my hair

He laughed this time, "It is an honor for men to fall to your feet; it's a sign of respect." 

I gave a small smile before he spoke again, 

"You may do whatever you wish with them, but just know, just because they get their pleasure, doesn't mean they will stop." he said, "The circle of Heating has to finish." 

My mind went to it; having sex for hours and hours with one of the boys and thinking it would just suck if all it was for was the boy to get something out of it; laying their being used or not enjoying anything out of it. I blinked my eyes and the thought disappeared. I swallowed hard before I asked.

"How long do I have?" 

"Anytime now, my darling," he said, putting a piece of my hair behind my ear. 

"I'm scared...Father," I said

He gave a small smile, "There's nothing for you to be scared of, we'll be with you the whole way through this journey like we are now, you're not going to be scared after your born again, my love." 

I closed my eyes and nodded, trying so hard to fight back lifeless tears, "Why did you choose me?" 

"I didn't, the future did, we just had to come and get you."
