Pokémon: Vampire Princess*

Chapter 42: Clemont•

"Yes! This is awesome!" Shauna cheered, jumping up and down while the crowd goes wild. I can hear Bonnie shouting the same thing, jumping as well. Clemont closed his laptop and walked back into the tower without acknowledging anyone. With me being too distracted with wanting to get things done quickly, I ignored the light show and chased after the two siblings leaving.

"Wait!" I yelled out. Clemont stopped but didn't turn to me. Bonnie looked at me and widened her eyes, probably surprised that I was out in the open when thinking I was handled by Mina "Clemont, stop right there and talk to me. I don't want you walking away from me again!" I yelled. Bonnie looked back at her big brother.

"You know her, big bro?" Clemont turned around to look at me, still with that same bored expression. It doesn't compare to the Messengers where they don't have any emotions. Clemont just looks tired.

"How can I not?" He faced me approaching him with Shauna. Bonnie observed me for a moment and snapped her fingers.

"You're a vampire" her tone got quieter "What is it about the other day that made me think you were a human?" We sweatdropped except for her.

"Don't mind my little sister" Clemont pinched the ridge of his nose "Hello again, Princess" he greeted with a slight bow. Bonnie flinched.

"P-Princess?!" Her jaw dropped to the floor. I cleared my throat, trying not to feel embarrassed "Wait... what?!" Her eyes sparkled for some reason "You guys must be really close if he calls you princess!" She kneeled down and offered her hand "You'll be perfect for my brother!" I blinked confused "please take care of him!" W-what is she doing..?

"I think you have the wrong idea, madam..." Shauna spoke "We are simply here for business" Bonnie stood up. Clemont raised his glasses that had a glare in them from the lights.

"Is that right? What can we do for you?" She asked. Clemont walked back into the tower "big bro!"

"This isn't the place to talk. Please follow me" I took a deep breath and watched him walk away.

"Just so you know, I won't go back to the castle" he stopped "If you think you can find a way to send me back, you'll regret it"

"Castle..?" Bonnie questioned and looked back at her big brother "Big bro! What is she talking about?" She's probably the youngest vampire I've met, so I'm sure she hasn't gotten her full abilities in understanding who I was.

"Don't worry" Clemont said, only turning his head slightly "I don't feel like doing anything after so long of those freaks messing with the power plants. Come have a seat and we'll discuss what you want without any violence" I huffed and followed after him, cautiously.

We all took an elevator up a ton of floors before arriving at a wide open area that looked like a normal home. There was a living room, furniture, several doors leading to another rooms, a kitchen, and so on. Bonnie ran towards the kitchen while Clemont sat on the couch, picking up a weird machine thing he started working on with a tool.

"Do you girls want some blood?" Bonnie asked. I gagged at the thought and turned away. Shauna nervously laughed and waved her hand.

"We're good. Thank you for the hospitality, but it'll be safe if you didn't open a package at all" she said for me. Bonnie hummed and walked over with something that smelled like coffee.

"How come?" She handed a cup to Clemont"What about coffee?" I have no idea what that tasted like.

"We're good. Thank you" Shauna bowed. I just waved my hands and looked at the couch beside the one Clemont was on. Bonnie came back to sit down across from us.

"Please have a seat!" Shauna and I sat down "How can we help you?" She smiled big "You're going to have to forgive my big brother. He works all the time and often forgets to drink blood when he needs to. I'm sure you can tell he's a council member, correct?"
