Black Velvet

Chapter Three

We pulled into my driveway and went inside.

"Well.... This is home sweet home.. Jailbird!! I'm home!!" My Dalmatian, Jailbird, came running into the room. The instant she saw Alek, she started barking like crazy. "Jailbird, Quiet!" I walked over to her and knelt down, "Sit." She stopped barking, whimpered, and sat down. "Good girl." I said softly, scratching her behind the ears and she licked my face, causing me to giggle. I stood and faced Alek. "sorry about that.."

"It's cool.. I'm a new person..." He said in understanding.

"Its weird... she never barks at people....Well... except for Damon... and bad people... She really only barks at dogs..." I rambled on, perplexed. I hung up my jacket and book bag and headed upstairs, Jailbird at my side. I was half way up the stairs when I noticed our guest wasn't following. I crouched down and looked at him through the rails. "Come on... I wont bite... But get too close and Jailbird might!" I said laughing. He smiled.

"I'm not afraid of her.. I think her bark is worse than her bite!" He laughed as he followed me up to my room.

If you compared my room to the rest of the house, the house is a kiddy carnival and my room: The Freak Show. The walls, like the rest of the house, were white. However, instead of family pictures and knick-knacks, there were posters of Marilyn Manson, Black Veil Brides, Vampires Everywhere, Falling In Reverse, Cradle of Filth, and other various rock bands. A black vanity and old computer chair sat against the far wall in the corner. a black wrought iron bed sat in the middle of the right wall with red cotton sheets and a black satin comforter, there was an over full book shelf next to the window on the left wall as well. the windows had black out curtains that, at the time, were drawn. My walk in closet was on the far end of the right wall and a stereo was wedged in between the books on my shelf.

I ran and flopped onto my bed with a sigh. My relaxation, however, was short lived as Jailbird pounced me and began to lick my face. I tried to push her away, giggling, "Jailbird! No! No kisses!" She stopped, laid down on top of me and barked softly. "You're a pain, y'know that, right?" She barked softly again. I giggled,scratching her behind the ears, "But i love you anyway!" She replied the way i trained her to: she howled in such a way that it sounded like 'I love you'; this sent Alek, who had been watching the scene from the doorway, into fits of laughter. This might sound cliche, but at the time, Alek's laugh was the most beautiful sound i had ever heard.

God Skar! Stop crushing! Damon would KILL you if he caught you even looking at another guy!!

"So...Whatcha wanna do?" I said nervously, trying to hide the fear of Damon's potential rage if he EVER found out i had a guy over that wasn't him.

"I honestly don't know..." Just then, my phone binged, letting me know i had a notification; it was from the outcasts web page.
