The flight attendant on our plane had to be new, because he made us all sit in the seats we had bought. Which, unfortunately, meant that Isaac and Callum ended up sitting next to each other. Isaac took out a book and read most of the time, but Callum stared at him unblinkingly for close to an hour.
“What do you want?” Isaac finally snapped, losing patience.
“Nothing,” Callum said quickly, turning away.
“Then stop staring at me!”
“I can look wherever I want,” Callum said resentfully. “It’s a free country.”
Isaac took a deep breath. “Please, just stop staring at me. It’s really annoying.”
Callum opened his mouth, about to answer back, but I interrupted him. “Callum, please just give up. You don’t have to win every fight. Here-” I rummaged in the tourist package, looking for something for him to read. I shoved the leaflet and the English-Tibetan dictionary at him. “Read this.”
Callum glared at it for a moment and I thought he was going to say something snappy. But he just sighed and opened the leaflet.
The rest of the flight passed in relative calm.
We arrived at the airport and quickly hiked up to a village in the mountains. Being a vampire has a lot of advantages when it came to speed, so it took us less then a day. It was a small village, one that still used tents, and had almost no contact with the outside world. As we arrived, the children flocked around us, jabbering in Tibetan.
“Oh, shit,” Holly said, looking around. “Do any of us actually speak Tibetan?”
“Not really one for forethought, eh Holly?” Isaac asked, grinning.
Holly stuck out her tongue at him.
“I know a few words,” Callum said tentatively. “Just what I read on the plane though.”
Holly’s jaw dropped. “You can speak a different language? You have the brain power?!”
Callum looked genuinely hurt. “Of course I can. I actually know a lot more things than you think I do.
“You learn something new every day.” Holly muttered.
“So what are they saying?” I asked, hoping to divert them from a longer argument.
Callum listened for a moment, and laughed. “They’re admiring your hair.”
I raised my eyebrows skeptically. “Really?”
He nodded. “They’ve never seen anything like it. Their hair doesn’t tend to be blond and curly, now does it?”
I laughed too. “Can you ask them where we could buy some supplies?”
After a moment or two in which Callum spoke to the children, they swarmed around us, bringing us to the largest tent, where the leader lived. After collecting just enough supplies to be polite, we continued up to a clearing in the woods. The snow was thick on the ground, and the pines trees looked like they had been frosted. We quickly lit a fire and settled down, adjusting to the thin air and the cold easily. Holly treated the entire thing as a camping trip, but I was worried that something was going to happen.
