others to lie low for a few nights now that Klaus was in town.
“I don’t discriminate, if anyone has a belly full of blood; I no doubt will be feasting from them as well.”
“I hear you loud and clear,” I said with a laugh. I had ducked out while he rested now. I found it thrilling his coffin was in my guest room even now. I was glad I had not hired a cleaning lady because I wasn’t sure how I would explain that one. I leaned against my car as I stood a moment staring at the lake and fighting thoughts of Yasmine. I recalled what Chloe had said to Aerin not long ago and had to applaud her. There would never be anyone to outshine Yasmine. I climbed into my car and headed back into town. I would be indulging in carbs and sugar this very morning.
“It disgusts me that he eats their food even now.” I found Klaus and Octavius going through my fridge. They opened take out containers then frowned when they found food,
“Ugh…oh wait…this looks like a blood pudding!” Octavius dipped his finger into the sauce as he gagged,
“No, it’s barbeque sauce!” Klaus tossed the container in the trash as he looked up,
“You cannot possibly enjoy this crap.”
“I refuse to subsist on blood and yes I enjoy it. I am sorry that the lot of you cannot ingest a real meal.”
“I still believe that you pissed off you know who and have been stuck on earth since.”
“Well I hate to break it to you but I’m not religious and I’d think he would have squashed me a long while ago if that was the case.” Octavius looked up to the sky as he said,
“I’m sure there is a bolt of lightning with your name on it.” I managed a laugh as I noticed most of my fridge as in the garbage.
“Uh, you do know I recycle most of this stuff.” They looked at one another as they laughed,
“You are a hoot,” said Klaus, “next you’ll tell me you’re afraid of global warming.”
“As much as I love you both I really don’t want it to just be us for another thousand years.” Octavius groaned as he replied,
“That would be a damn shame especially since the whole damn place would go dark. I mean do you know how to keep a power plant running?” Klaus shook his head,
“I made shoes in my human time.”
“Great…looks like we’re bringing an electrician over before the whole damn place goes down. Can they at least be female?” They looked at me once again as they shook their head quickly,
“Have you not learned anything in the last twenty-four hours?”
“You know me…I have them already lined down the block,” I said with a laugh.
“Don’t force me to break this Styrofoam,” said Klaus holding a take out container in front of me. Without thinking I reached out and grabbed him. I held him tight as I felt myself unravel in his arms. He held onto me as he handed his cane to Octavius.
“Hey there, it’s going to be fine. This will all be like a dream after awhile. I know it hurts, Rent. Do you want me to take care of her?” I knew he would end her short time as a vampire if I asked. I groaned as I backed away from him. Already I was feeling wrong for having shown this much emotion.
“It would be selfish to do that. I did this to her. Any fledgling would have done it.” Octavius interrupted as he went to the intercom that had come to life. Klaus reached out as he touched my forehead,
“You know you mean a lot to me. I will do whatever you want.” I nodded as I crossed my arms. I stared at his pale arms as I replied,
“You know you are strong enough to walk in the sun, Klaus.” He nodded as he compared his arm to my tanned bicep. He smiled as he replied,
“It seems wrong to mislead people into thinking I’m like them when I really want to rip their throats open.”
“I think most of Los Angeles is like you,” I said with a laugh. I turned to see Octavius standing at the kitchen doorway.
“Aerin’s sister is here. She wants to see her sister.”
“Tell her to it’s going to be a long plane
