Princess duties: Vampire Edition

Chap. 8

X A V I E R

"Well, there is no good way to say this..." I stand there with anticipation. Finally, we can figure out what that nonsense earlier meant. Why were they after them?

"I am a fairy," Oregon says like it is a normal occurrence. I am shellshocked. My mouth gaping wide open as I look into Oregon's beautiful light green eyes. All I see back is pure honesty. Fairies?!

"That isn't possible." I murmur. But I mean vampires exist so... maybe she's telling the truth. But if that's true, how am I surrounded by magical creatures when I'm boring. Oregon laughs a little as we look at her.

"Says the boy who beat down a fake ass bitch just a few hours ago?!. I thought that wasn't possible." She teases me. It works because I blush like a tomato. Luckily my tanned skin made it less noticeable. Paris moves towards me and nudges my arm. She smiles at me with pride.

"So Troy and his crew are after you because they are fairy hunters or something?" I ask and They nod.

"Something like that.." Oregon says before her eyes gaze into space. She must be daydreaming. She smiles randomly. But I am still confused about some things.

"Wait if you truly are a fairy, where is your wings and magic?" I ask while looking at her. She smiles more. All of a sudden a green air-looking ball appears in her hands. I gasp then start feeling my body getting heavier. It was too much for one day, the blackness started appearing in my vision. I tried to grab Paris as my eyes fluttered closed. I hear with a thud before I fully lost consciousness.

                                 =======

I look around scared. "Paris...? Life... ?Oregon?" I call out but everywhere is dark and black. When suddenly I'm back in my old attic. My parents locked me up in here for punishment again.

It wasn't so bad until a vicious growl surrounds me. I see this huge black wolf in a very prideful stance blocking the window. It was majestic but it freaks me out, a lot.

"Xavier," It growls. I start to shake in my boots. Its eyes pierced my body with its hate glares. I try to run...but I can't... it's like I'm frozen. The wolf flashes it's sharp, white fangs and charges at me. This time I try harder to run....still can't. The wolf arrives directly in my face.

Then opens its mouth, wide showing me his vicious teeth once again before speaking again.

"Run while you can!" Drool dripping from the sides of it's mouth like a waterfall. Looking like it is about to decapitate me. Tears fall from my eyes when it finally chomps off my head.

I hear my name being called...Xavi.

Xavier.

Xavier!

My body gets shaken. My eyes open.

=======

I look around, terrified. Thinking I was back at my 'home'. I am woken up to Paris, Oregon, and Life, staring at my face. I pant as a realization comes back.

"Wow." I'm shaking trying to get a grip.

It's silent until Paris hugs me. She took a hold of me tightly and asking if I was okay. I hug back, rubbing her back as she rubs mine. An unusual safe and comfortable silence surrounds us as if one of our new friends didn't just tell us she is a magical creature.

Paris smiles at me as she pulls back from the embrace. And All I can think is We need to leave.

"Since you told me what you are I guess I can too. I am a......" She was cut off with a knock on the door. Silence filled the air once again but this time it was out of fear. Oregon looked through the window and turned back to us with teary eyes.

I looked at her confused while Paris did too. Life just smiled and nodded at the door.

Oregon went to open the door. She did but it was, very dramatic, as they say.

She started crying while hugging a woman that looks almost exactly like Oregon. Only she was shorter and lighter in skin tone.

"Baby girl, I am here." Her mom said. She smiled and away from her mother.

Oregon cried in, what I am guessing is, her mom's arms. While they had a conversation. Paris was looking at me in my eyes, trying to read me I guess. "I'm okay." I say as I out my hand in my pocket.

"Well. Crab...Humans. We have to erase their memories." Oregon's mom pretended to whisper, either that or she can't whisper. I looked her way, suddenly scared of her. I put some distance between me and this lady. Was this what my dream meant?

The woman started twirling her hands.

Life tried to quickly de-escalate the situation waving her hand around as Oregon stood in front of her mom.

"STOP, mom, these are our friends. And they already know that I am a fairy." Oregon stated, I looked at the situation unfold in front of me. Her mom gasped dramatically. I sat there super awkwardly, like usual.

"You told humans. Those....those insignificant creatures." She hissed in a terrifyingly scary voice. I swear it shook my core. I visibly shivered as Oregon shook her head.

They continued to talk as I thought about my dream. I shivered as I thought of that majestic yet horrifying creature. Its eyes pierced into my mind. Like I had seen them before. Maybe in another dream.

"Paris we need to leave." I whispered to her as my gut got a sunken feeling. That dream had to mean something.

"That is what I said about your father!." Her mom remarked while narrowing eyes at me. It made me shake more. Something was telling me to get out.

Oregon scolds her mom which is weird but hey...who am I too judge. "Stop mom. You are being mean and rude." They look at each other. Her mom frowns at her making my stomach do another flip.

"What if they hurt you...or tell someone?" She tried to whisper again. Paris motioned to me to get up so I did. We stared at Oregon's mom. Paris butted into their not-so-subtle conversation.

"Miss that is what I was going to tell you earlier. I am not a human either...." Paris explains. I smile, knowing exactly what she is about to say. She opens her mouth again but is interrupted again. This time it came with a super loud screech.

           I should have stayed home.
