Stranger Happenings: Book One

Chapter Nine

It's been a month since the fight between Alex and Rodney. Vampire Alex has kept his promised to the witch, he has stayed away from her friends, family, and Aurora herself.

Although Aurora has been having a hard time, she feels conflicted on what she did.

Her brain told her that she did the right thing, she was defending her brother. Anyone would had done the same if they were in her position.

On the other hand, her heart tells her otherwise. She did the right thing, but at what cost?

Aurora sighs, she continues to wipe down the tables.

Rodney frowns for his sister, he knows that she has been going through a rough patch.

"How is she holding up?" Cappy asks, looking at Aurora as well.

"My sister won't admit it, but it's hard for her."

"Maybe I could talk to her, she might not be comfortable talking to you about how she feels."

Rodney nods, he hopes Aurora will speak to Cappy, everytime he speaks to her, he sees sadness in his sister's eyes. If Aurora did talk with Cappy, maybe it could brighten up her spirits.

The doorbell rings, they all turn to see a woman walk through the door. Everyone in the bar recognized who it was, it is Vampire Regina Cortez, Spokeswoman for the American Vampire League. She had dark hair, it stopped at her shoulders, her eyes were chocolate brown.

Aurora saw that the vampire was looking at her, as if she was intrigued by Aurora. They were all surprised to see her, but even more shocked when the vampire turns and looks at Cappy. Her eyes were narrowed, and Rodney didn't like this.

The vampire quickly sat at a booth, though she kept looking at Cappy.

Aurora approaches the vampire, "Can I get you anything?"

"I'll take a True Blood, AB positive."

"We only have A positive."

"That'll do." The vampire replies, Aurora sees the spokeswoman staring at her oddly. The red head leaves her and goes back to her brother.

Rodney whispers angrily, "What in the Hell is she doing here?!"

Cappy rubs his arm, "I'm not sure, but it can't be any good."

"She has about 10 seconds before I kick her out."

Aurora rolls her eyes at her boss, "Easy Sam, she hasn't done anything."

Sam grunts, "Not yet."

The doorbell rings again, it's Vampire Alex Walker, Aurora couldn't believe it. She hasn't seem him for many weeks, but now he's here. Aurora and the rest of the people in the bar were not surprised when he sat across from Vampire Regina.

Aurora decided to use this opportunity to her advantage, not knowing when she'd see him again. The witch walked over to them, placing a True Blood in front of Miss Cortez.

Alex looked at Aurora, he missed her deeply, this past month was hard for him to endure. The red head looked back at him, their eyes meeting, there was so much they wanted to say to each other...

Regina noticed their strange interaction, and cleared her throat loudly, purposely driving them away.

Aurora took the hint and left the two alone, causing Alex to miss her presence.

The witch made sure to stay close to them, eager to know why they were meeting.

Rodney and Cappy also kept their eye on the vampires, Sam went back to making drinks at the bar, but he still looked at them.
