The Black Wings

Chapter 19: Adopt??

Claire's pov

I wanted to open the door of the house with my keys, I took it out of my bag and began thinking about Erikyos and all his creepy behavior. I donno why I can't stop thinking about him.

The keys dropped interrupting, forcing me to stop thinking and focusing on the door keys.

I entered the house slowly walking to the kitchen. I always go there even when I need nothing. I just opened the fridge and stared.

I realized I didn't need anything so I went towards mom's room.

"Hey mom."

"Hey, Claire...You met him?"

"Yeah." I shrugged.

"What's wrong?"

"I just...I can't understand him...He's just so creepy." Her face showed that she knows what I mean. She laughed and told my to sit beside her, so I did.

"Daniel told me that he wants to adopt him cuz he is orphan."

"WHAT??!!! Mom I think uncle Dan is crazy. We don't know him. He's so weird and it is all so complicated. Why the hell would he adopt him?!"

"He said he likes him and that he wants to start a family."

"Start a family? Maybe he could just get married."

"He doesn't wanna get married after his wife had died. You know how much he loved her."

"I know."

"Look, Claire." She raised my head knowing how much I care about uncle and really concerned about his decisions. "I know you're worried about him. But, it's his decission and we must respect it. Lets help him start a family if this is for his good."

"I just wish it IS for his good."

She smiled then nodded confirmingly.

Erikyos's pov

I returned home after meeting the great red head Claire. She has got perfect green eyes and really white soft skin which made her look angelic.

I felt bad for lying to her. I never wished for some thing so much in my whole life more than I wish to tell her the truth about me.

I knocked at the door of Dan's study. Then, opened it and entered.

I looked at him while he slowly raised his head towards me. um...anyway, I wanted to talk to him.

"I wanna talk to you Erik." He read my mind already

"Me?? Really?"

"Yes. I want to adopt you. So, we can live together and I can help you start a life here. What do you think?"

"Oh!! I don't know actually. I am older that you Dan. I'm a hundred and some thing."

"I know. But, infront of everyone you're still 17 or 18."

"Which is why I wanna go to school."

"Really?"

"Yeah, learn something and know people. It's unusual for some one at 17 not to go to school y'know."

"Okay, I'm gonna see."

"Can I be at Claire's school?"

"Yeah, better...okay, I'm gonna let Isobelle help too."

"Cool. I'm...gonna go...sleep."

"Okay."

I got out of his study and closed the door. That was a very awkward conversation. We both raced to end it.

I'm trice his age and I'm asking him if I can go to school...And he is actually asking if he can adopt me!!!!

Talk about 'Weird'.

I walked to my room. The buraeu is full of Dan's son's clothes. I donno whether it's polit to use them. I mean he's died and he would have actually hated me wearing his clothes.

Being alone gave me the opportunity to take out my...wings and take off my shirt. Then, perch on my bed. I stared at the seiling. The height is low so I can't fly. But, the room is wide enough.

Dan opened the door. When his eyes saw me, he jumped out in astonishment.

"Woooow...okhaay...Big wings!" He yelled.

"Thanks! From where I come from, that's a compliment."

"You're welcome." His eyes where still wider than the austritch's.

"What did you want?"

"Nothing...um...good. Night."

He closed the door hardly and I heard him cursing a little behind my door to himself.

He can't get over the idea that his adopted son has wide, beautiful wings. I'm amazing!

Anyway, I slowly fell asleep.

Hey guys

What do you think about the idea of Daniel adopting him? Beside, being weird. lol.

What is gonna happen when Claire is with him at the same school? Do you think she'll discover his secret?

Lestat won't leave the humans alone now that they've humiliated his people.

What are you expecting to happen next? Let me hear your thoughts.

Love ya...Keep reading ;)
