Green Eyes That See Red (NEW! UPDATING WHEN I CAN - 2019)

Castle Godfrey

By the end of the day, I waited with Shelley outside the school gates for Roman to come pick us up. Soon enough he appeared with a beaming smile at the two of us as we returned the same to him.
"Hey handsome."
I linked my arm with his as we walked to his car with Shelley. Roman kissed my temple,
"Hey gorgeous."
Then we heard Shelley's device speak,
"You guys are so cute."
We laughed and Roman opened the car door for us before we got in, then going to get in his side himself.
"Roman, is Olivia there?"
I asked suddenly realising I'd not even asked if she'd be at his house or not.
"Nah you're safe. But you know, I'd like to tell her soon. I mean, I'm old enough for her to stay the fuck outta my life."
Roman reverses our of the parking space quickly before driving out of school grounds. I bit my lip,
"Yeah, I, I guess."
Roman took my hand in his and flashed me a reassuring smile before saying,
"Trust me. It'll all work out."
I felt better and smiled at him, giving his hand a little squeeze.

Once we arrived at the Godfrey mansion, Roman took both mine and Shelley's bags and headed towards the house with us either side of him. Once we were in, I made Shelley a hot chocolate and she headed upstairs to her room, while Roman and I began packing knives and two guns into a rucksack. I raised my eyebrows as he placed the guns and bullets into the bag. He shrugged with a questioning look.
"What? The guns? Come on Naomi, it's America."
He chuckled to try and loosen me up. I rolled my eyes, still expecting a proper explanation.
"For protection. You can never be too careful. You can't, you can't trust anyone."
I stroked his cheek softly as I saw his face drop slightly at his words. He overthought things sometimes but tonight wasn't a good time for that, we had to be quick and ready. Prepared for the worst.

"Roman?"
I looked down nervously biting my lip. I felt my chin being lifted so my eyes were met with Roman's as he gave me a concerned look, worry clear in his face.
"What's wrong?"
He questioned softly. I placed my hand on his wrist as his fingers caressed my cheek lightly, not breaking eye contact.
"I'm scared."
I confessed, feeling better I'd actually told him how I felt about the whole vargulf situation instead of acting brave and fearless. He pulled me into a tight hug which I completely wasn't expecting. He stroked the back of my hair gently.
"Me too."
Was all he said. Although to some, it might've made them feel worse, to me it made me feel better, like I wasn't the only one who felt this way. We were scared, but we were scared together. We could also be brave together, along with Peter.

After we'd packed the weapons into a bag each, we got time to just loosen up a little. Roman poured us both a drink each and we sat in his garden and played a few games with Shelley which was fun and then when it began to get dark around 10pm, we headed back inside and Shelley went to bed. We said goodnight to her then Roman and me tried to get an hours nap before we'd spend most of the night hunting down this vargulf.
"Don't forget to set an alarm so we don't sleep overtime."
I said to Roman as we headed upstairs to his room.
"I got it."
He replied, already unbuttoning his shirt and opening his bedroom door.

Once we were just in our underwear, we climbed into Roman's cool dark sheets. I felt Roman's fingers move my face gently to face him as he pressed his lips to mine and continued to kiss me deeply as I kissed him just as deep back. We pulled away and I turned back round, Roman's arm slipping round my waist, pulling my back against his chest firmly and securely. He was home, he was where I felt safe. I felt his face nustle into my hair as he muttered in my ear,
"I love you so much."
I smiled to myself, turning over to face him, wrapping my leg over his hip,
"I love you so much too."
I kissed his nose then curled into his chest, the both of us going to sleep within minutes.

The alarm on Roman's phone made us both jump as we quickly got to our feet and re-dressed in a matter of minutes before getting our bags and shoes and heading to Roman's car, leaving a note for Shelley in case she woke up saying we went to Peter's house. We arrived at Castle Godfrey in 5 minutes or just over, Peter was there waiting as we pulled up inside and got out the car.
"Ah, you guys made it."
Peter said with relief, Roman took out a cigarette and offered me one to which I accepted to relieve the stress of the night ahead.
"Course we did."
Roman smiled reassuringly as he lit my cigarette then his own.
"Okay, now we just wait for the full moon and I'll transform and kill that mother fucking Vargulf."
Peter said looking stone cold ahead at us. I gulped loudly, Roman locking his fingers with mine, giving me a quick look of concern before turning back to Peter and nodding nervously.
