Pokémon: Vampire Princess*

Chapter 10: Team*

"Can I get you anything?" The girl asked with a smile on her face. I pretended like I wasn't staring, but I watched her every move from the corner of my eye.

"No, thanks, we're not here to eat" Xavier waved his hand "unless you're hungry. You should grab something for the road so that you won't get tired" he told me.

"Sure" I nodded, liking the idea of eating anything new that wasn't just mash potatoes and veggies all the time. That's mainly the daily meal of a maid at the castle, and I was encouraged to only feed off them, not their actual food.

"How about a classic sandwich to go? Is that okay?" Xavier asked.

"It doesn't matter to me as long as it doesn't have a lot of potatoes in it" I huffed.

"You really don't like potatoes, don't you?" He chuckled.

"It's not that I don't like them... it's just all I ever ate back home."

"Don't worry, I'll fatten you up in the best way possible" he made it sound a bit sexual from how he said it... I blushed at his concern to keep me healthy and nodded before glancing back at the girl staring at me with sharp eyes.

The abnormal narrow pupil she had gave off the clue that she was definitely a vampire, but they were a lot bigger than I thought how a vampires would be... it's almost impossible to see the narrow part.

She stared at me for a few moments like she was trying to understand what was wrong with my face. I didn't feel nervous for some reason. I just caught myself staring back and tensing up my stare without meaning too... making her look slightly nervous.

"Uh... right" the girl cleared her throat and walked away with the order. I questioned what just happened, but ignored it for now.

Xavier was on his phone while I played with Froakie the whole time we were waiting for the food. The waitress ended up coming back with five clear containers of the same sandwich.

"Huh? What's all this?" Xavier asked as she set them up in front of the chairs around us.

"I just thought that if we're going to be sitting here together and discussing the plan of adventure, we might as well eat while we're at it" she smirked. Xavier and I looked at each other confused "I was being nosy and overheard a few things you were saying before I came by to take your order. I didn't hear it all, so I hope it wasn't too bad of me" she bowed to Xavier instead of the both of us. I narrowed my eyes, feeling a bit offended.

"You said you got your Pokémon from the professor, right? Professor Sycamore? The headmaster?" She asked.

"Yes, that would be correct," he nodded "We're meeting up with some of those students. Are you one of the students?" the girl smiled big, slammed my container in front of me and sat beside Xavier at the end of the table.

"You betcha! I've been waiting forever for you guys! And here I thought girls took a long time to get ready." she chuckled and threw away her feline ears "This job was annoying. I can finally quit now that we're leaving!" I looked at the container in front of me. What's with her slamming it?

"I didn't expect to meet you like this" Xavier laughed with her. I peaked at him smiling at her and it made me looked down, feeling odd about him smiling at someone else that wasn't me...

"I did. That was the point. I was going to do my last shift before leaving for good. I knew we were meeting here, but you came later than expected, so I got stuck here a little longer" she waved her hand, not wanting him to worry about it "Don't worry about the pay." she glanced at me with the same sharp and sassy eye as before. I blinked confused "It's on the house."
