Once Upon a Dream

Chapter 3

Morticia pov: 

The next morning brought what Morticia hoped to be a much less exciting day. At least now the vampires were aware that she knew their secret so she didn't have to walk on eggshells anymore. She just hoped that her presence here wasn't going to cause a massive disruption in Stephanie Meyer's universe. 

As she traipsed downstairs in her black jeans and combat boots, per yesterday's usual she was the last one to get to the breakfast table. 

"Wow, the last one again. Geez, do you guys synchronize that stuff?" She said sarcastically as she grabbed a cup of coffee, before grabbing the newspaper off the table. 

'I need to be on the lookout for any animal attacks, so I can warn the Cullens.' She thought to herself, glancing over the obituaries of the day.

Tony chuckled, "Well some of us go to bed at a respectable time. Not all of us love staying up well into the night like you Tish."

Morticia scoffed, "I do my best thinking at night, and besides I can sleep when I'm dead."

Tony just rolled his eyes at her before he snapped his fingers at a thought.

"Oh, Billy wanted me to remind you that next month the boys on the rez are building a bonfire. He knew it was close to your birthday so he wanted me to invite you." He said, smiling at her.

'Oh fuck. Going to a wolf infested area after I've been spending so much time with vampires. Sounds like a suicide mission to me.' She mentally groaned 

"Uh, that sounds like fun but I don't know, Tony. Schoolwork will be picking up by then so I'll have to see... Besides, I wouldn't want to blind them with my pale face" She said with a slight laugh to her voice.

Tony just scoffed and waved his hand, "Whatever, just lettin' ya know if you ever give yourself a break."

Morticia just nodded before she grabbed her backpack and gestured for Caleb to get ready to leave.

The drive to school was much faster this time around and she quickly pulled into a space beside a familiar-looking Volvo. 

"Hey, I've gotta talk to some people, think you can make it to your building on your own?" Morticia teased as Caleb just rolled his eyes at her before moving to exit the car. 

"I'll see ya later," Caleb called over his shoulder, hurriedly making his way to the building in the distance.

Morticia just shook her head as she moved to open the driver's side door.

"I see you are just as sarcastic at home as you are in public." A melodic voice resonated above her.

She turned her head up to glare at the auburn-haired boy leaning on the side of her car. 

"Yeah, maybe she's born with it or maybe she's just a massive bitch. You ever think of that, sparkles?" She said with an attitude as she brushed past him. He quickly turned to press closely behind her.

"I didn't mean to offend you. It's just....difficult." He gritted out lowly.

"Yeah, I get being around me is super difficult for you right now. That's the whole point of the little partnership." She said, gesturing between the two of them.

"No, it's not that." He told her and as she was going to ask him to elaborate Alice suddenly materialized beside her.

"Hey, Morticia. You're sitting with us today at lunch right?" Her tone told Morticia that she was only asking to be polite.
