Gold Lights

Chapter 33

When the Vanderwood's pulled up outside of the mansion, Oliver, Luka, and Corey were sleeping.

The vampires managed to stay awake. It was almost half three in the morning and everyone was feeling a little run down.

The rain was still pouring but there was no more thunder.

"We're home," Jed said and turned to see if everyone was okay.

Rayvon didn't bother waking Luka up as he unbuckled his seat belt and wrapped his arms around him.

Panuleon did the same to Corey and simply carried him.

Vinny woke Oliver up, it wouldn't be easy to carry him out of the car. He isn't as small as Luka and Corey.

John, Madison, and Duke got out as the doorman stood with an umbrella, making sure they didn't get wet.

Oliver groggily climbed out of the car before Vinny took his hand and guided him towards the door.

He rubbed his tired eyes and almost tripped over the step.

"What time is it?" He mumbled.

"Half three," Vinny said and followed Rayvon who was carrying little Luka.

He had his head resting on Rayvon's shoulder and his arms were hanging by his side, showing that he had fallen asleep again.

"Bless him" Oliver smiled.

Corey was half awake but he was in Panuleon's arms and that's all he cared about.

Zachariah had followed them back to the mansion.

"I must get back to Jenny now, but I'm glad everyone is okay. I'll come around tomorrow" He smiled.

"Good night Zachariah," Jed said and watched as he exposed his wings.

"Night Jeduthun."

He then vanished and the doorman shut the door. He wasn't phased by things like that anymore.

Everyone went straight upstairs and piled into their bedrooms.

Jed watched the doors in the corridor close before he slowly sat on the floor, just outside Luka and Rayvon's bedroom.

He crossed his legs and linked his fingers together.

His mind drifted to the angels. How could they do that to Panuleon and Corey? How could they be so heartless?

Rayvon gently put Luka down on the bed and pulled off his shoes. He took a moment to watch his sleeping face before walking to the bathroom to get changed.

He was so tired.

Luka curled up and gripped the duvet, but he couldn't feel the warmth of his soulmate and didn't quite know where he was.

He sat up in a panic and looked around with desperation.

Rayvon felt his stress and popped his head back into the bedroom.

He quickly walked over when Luka rubbed his eyes and tried climbing out of bed. He was still half asleep.

"Hey, it's alright Luka. We're home" He said softly.

When he sat next to him on the bed, Luka immediately climbed onto his knee and curled up against him.

Rayvon watched as it took him about thirty seconds to drift back to sleep.

He smiled and softly rubbed his back before very slowly lying down.

He didn't get a chance to change but Luka needed him and he didn't want to move and wake him up.
