Chapter Four
The car flew out of town, eventually passing Eva’s house, and then hurrying down the road. The houses became more and more spaced out as they swerved by turns until finally they slowed down. Eva’s body was practically thrown forward as Patrick stomped on the brakes. Everybody was out of the car and running into the house before Eva even had a chance to move. She couldn’t help but to sit back and look at the house for a moment.
“It’s…definitely not what I imagined it would be,” she muttered to nobody. The house was too normal. Her eyes wondered over the white siding and the light wooden door. “I love it.”
Eva quickly ran ahead into the Kane’s house just as the others had, still not sure what was happening. As she passed through the front door, the entire Kane family was grouped together in the living room filled with two white couches and a table in between. Only Dorian seemed to be aware of her arrival. He slowly walked over to her and turned to his family.
“This is Eva,” he proclaimed, facing them. “Nicole my younger sister, William my twin brother, and Patrick my older brother.” He made gestures towards them as he spoke so Eva knew where they were. She smiled politely at them all. “I didn’t know Dorian had a twin brother,” she though. Then Dorian walked over to his parents, holding hands with Eva and pulling her along. “And this is my mother, Abigail, and my father, Henry.” Eva reached out and shook their hands, surveying their faces, still stunned by their beauty. She heard William snicker.
“Well it’s a pleasure meeting you Eva,” Henry said, smiling down at her.
“It certainly is,” Abigail said back. Eva wasn’t sure if she was mad or not as she fixed her eyes on Dorian. “Please excuse me for a moment. I need to speak to Dorian in the kitchen for a minute.” Dorian peered at Eva’s face with a frown and then trudged away with his mother into the kitchen. Henry looked away, embarrassed.
“I should probably go with them. Sorry,” he muttered and then disappeared. Eva just stared after them.
“You can come over here and sit with us if you want.” Eva rotated on her heels to hear Nicole speaking to her. “I promise I won’t bite…too hard,” she added, grinning uncontrollably so that her sharp teeth gleamed.
Patrick leaned over and sneered at her. “Behave yourself,” he mouthed.
“Thanks.” Eva sat down beside William on the opposite couch of Nicole and Patrick. William quickly glanced at her and then went back to his original position, both feet flat on the floor with arms folding together across his stomach. His face appeared annoyed and his eyes were on the ground. “Yikes,” thought Eva.
“So how old are you guys?” Eva asked, hoping for her small talk not to die out.
Patrick spoke for everybody. “Nicole just celebrated her sixteenth birthday, William is seventeen, and I am eighteen.”
“Happy belated birthday,” Eva commented, smiling at her. She faintly returned the smile.
“This is not the time to be discussing birthdays,” William rudely protested.
Eva looked beside her to find an angry vampire staring at her. She hastily looked away but his glare never moved.
“Do you even know what happened?” he questioned, seeming disgusted by her.
Eva didn’t respond.
“I didn’t think so…” William jumped up and silently left the room.
“He’s just extra grouchy today. Don’t worry about it,” Nicole quickly piped in.
Apparently William heard this because he ran back into the room, yelling at Eva.
“Why do you have to come here?! You’re just a filthy, stupid human! You know nothing and you have absolutely no right to be in this house! All you humans are useless, no-good, wastes of time!” Eva was frightened and Patrick had gotten up to stand in front of William incase he got a little too out of hand. “…Nobody wants you here, so leave,” he added, curling his upper lip to reveal his murderous teeth. Eva’s eyes widened, terrified. William turned and left through the front door as Dorian and his parents entered the room again.
“What’s going on here?” Henry demanded. Dorian swiftly went to Eva and sat beside her, taking William’s place.
“Are you ok?” he asked softly.
Eva couldn’t move or speak.
“It’s ok. I’m here now,” he soothed.
“It was just…he was so…” Eva shook her head, not finding the right words to explain what had just happened. He had very rudely insulted her.
“…William…” Abigail faintly mumbled.
“Well in any circumstances, we still have a bigger problem,” declared Henry. “There are indeed new vampires in town.”
“And now they are unwelcome,” Patrick snarled.
Eva was confused. “Did they do something wrong? I mean, you can’t just banish them away if they’re completely innocent.”
Dorian’s head shot up, along with all the others in the room. “They are not innocent. The two of them feasted on your kind today.” Eva’s head also bolted up.
“They killed people?”
Dorian sighed and nodded his head.
Her voice was barely a peep. “How many?”
“Three,” he breathed. Nobody made a sound after that until Henry calmly walked out the front door, with everyone else following.
After they reached the garage, Nicole spoke again.
“William must be hunting for them already. I smell him. He’s been by the dead bodies because I can smell the scent on him.”
Patrick smiled. “Everybody split up then and search. I’d sure like to sink my teeth into them.”
Eva clutched Dorian’s arm, making it aware that she wasn’t going anywhere without him.
“Don’t worry. You’re with me,” he whispered. Henry and Patrick were already paired up, leaving Nicole and Abigail together.
“It’s settled then,” Nicole darkly affirmed as she and Abigail climbed into a dark blue car and sped off. Henry nodded and took off in a smaller red car with Patrick. Dorian turned to Eva before departing the house.
“I already called your mom and said you’d be late because you were with me, so don’t worry about that.”
“Thanks.”
Dorian bent over to gently kiss her forehead and then opened the car door of the black convertible for her. Eva smiled and got in as he clicked it shut again and walked in front of the car to get in too. They snapped their seatbelts on and he started the engine as Eva noiselessly examined the scenery outside the window. The clouds drifted carelessly across the sky. “How amazingly beautiful,” she thought. She sighed as she looked up at the slowly darkening heavens above her.
