Chapter 3
Wrapping her arms tightly around him, Cora
pressed herself into his back. His hair
whipping around her, mixing with hers.
The wind whipped by and made her eyes water. Her hands, anchored to the outside of his jacket, were
freezing. Before she could think better
of it, she stuck her hands under his jacket, to the bare flesh of his
abdomen. She felt him flinch at the
contact, muscles rippling beneath her hands, but she didn’t remove them. If not
for the wind and the noise of the engines, she would have heard him hiss in a
breath.
Dwayne liked her
touch. More than that, he craved
it. This
is the first time she’s touched you, ass hole.
How can you crave it? Besides,
you know you can’t get… can’t let her in. Nothing good can come of it. She’ll only get hurt, or worse. Can’t let it happen again… never again. Dwayne’s head and body warred with each
other, until his heart stepped in, the heart he thought has been shattered
beyond repair for over a century, tipping the balance. Heart and body won out, shutting the mind
out.
He relaxed under
her hands. Suddenly, he threw his head
back, releasing what could only be described as a howl. The others joined in with him. Releasing some excitement of her own, Cora
shook her head letting her hair fly, laughed, and curled in closer to Dwayne’s
body, almost leaning forward onto him, rubbing her thumbs over his skin. Content for the moment, Cora sighed. She refused to think of the repercussions
this whole thing might have. Not yet.
**********
‘…So this is
it.” Cora peered over the edge of the
bluff.
“Home sweet
home.” Marko grinned. Paul raised his arm to usher her down the
stairs, still keeping a weary eye on his brother.
“After you, Cora.”
The five of them
were silent on the way down. Dwayne was
still moving in Cora’s personal space, not that she minded all that much. Hand on her shoulder, or the small of her
back, he was touching her, one way or another, the whole way. As they descended, Cora’s anxiety grew. The boys were too quiet, too tense. Marko actually flinched and ducked his head,
like he’d been yelled at. Then
Paul. Even though Dwayne’s touch was a
comfort, she could feel the storm build inside him, too. She knew something was about to go
down. David whirled around, glaring at Dwayne. She knew they were arguing, though she
couldn’t hear them.
Don’t you even
think to order me around, David.
I’ll do what I
damn well please. There’s something
wrong, something about her is just wrong.
And no matter what I have to protect the pack.
Don’t you dare
give me that line of pack bullshit. I
know where you’re loyalties lie. She’s
not going anywhere. And you’re not
going to touch her.
What the fuck
is this, anyway? David gestured at Dwayne, the way he constantly touched
Cora. Not even an hour ago, you high
tailed it to the far end of the boardwalk just get as far away from her as
possible. Now you’d crawl up her ass if
she’d let you.
Hey guys, let’s
not do this…
SHUT UP!! Both David and Dwayne yelled at Marko.
Stay out of
this, Marko. And don’t even think about
starting, Pauly. Dwayne glared
pointedly back at them, and shifted his glare to the front, back to David. What the fuck is this? You… you of all people ask me that? Knowing
what… David stopped short, causing
Cora to bump into the back of him. He
looked back at Dwayne, steadying Cora with a hand on her arm.
That’s
precisely why I’m asking you.
The ride cleared my head a bit.
The way we’re all reacting to her not natural. He took a deep breath, he cut Paul and Marko out of the
link. Dwayne, it almost destroyed
you. You vowed to never let any female
get close to you. Over a century
ago. Now, you just up and throw it out
the window over what could turn out the exact same way, or worse. I don’t think so. He shook his head. No. There’s something not right. Whether you admit it or not, you know I’m
right. And you know it’s not just about
holding onto the past.
Dwayne let some
doubt trickle into his heart, his mind on overdrive. So, what… Do we just throw her back up on the boardwalk, erase
her memories? Kill her? What David?
No, we’re not
killing her. I don’t know. Man, this
isn’t… I just want to know if she’s a threat.
To any of us.
You know what
it sounds like you’re suggesting? Dwayne
lifted an accusing eyebrow. It
sounds like you want to go skin to skin…
Dwayne, don’t
go there. You know I wouldn’t ever do that
to you. Other people’s seconds aren’t
my thing. But… but, it may be the only
way. She’s strong. Too strong.
I can’t get into her head, see what she’s about. It makes me nervous. You know what I’ve been seeing.
Yeah, you’re
awake as much as I am during daylight. He
nodded. Just for the record, I’m not
completely comfortable with this.
Opening the lines back up to Paul and Marko, David
filled them in on the plan, minus the personal details.
You sure about
this, bro? Concern filled Marko’s
eyes. He glanced at Cora. She could tell there was something going on,
her eyes flitting back and forth over the four of them. You know what could happen…
Dwayne refused to
think about what could happen to Cora if they went through with this. Hell, he wasn’t even too sure what this was.
“You’re not gonna
go all caveman on me, are ya?” Looking
up to Paul, “I happen to like my nose the way it is.” Humor entered David’s eyes, lightening the mood. The storm broke. Everyone could breath easy again. But Cora could feel Dwayne pulling away from her. Not physically, not yet. But his warmth was fading, leaving her with
a sense of dread.
**********
Oh, shit. The room, strike that, cave was spinning
around her. I guess that’s what
happens you down the lion’s share of the booze. With two bottles of vodka tapped, Cora wasn’t drunk. She was plastered to the fuckin’ wall. Not being able to coordinate her limbs, Cora
was stuck on the couch, sandwiched between Paul and Dwayne.
Paul was a
riot. Never slowed down. A constant chatterbox, spouting the most
ridiculous and hysterical stories. One
about a dwarf in a brothel had her laughing so hard, tears streamed down her
cheeks. And it was contagious. Soon, both Marko and Paul joined her,
rolling around the floor, not being able to breathe. She almost forgot about the others. The two brooding
vampires; both fallen angles, one sinfully dark, and the other beautifully
light.
Once her laughter subsided, Paul helped her back up
to the couch. She leaned back into
Dwayne, nuzzling his arm on the back of the couch. Silence stretched through the cavern, as not even Paul could
avoid what has going to happen forever.
Catching Dwayne’s attention, David nodded. It was time.
David stood, so
did Paul and Marko. Turning toward her,
Dwayne gently lifted Cora, picking her up and moving to an open area. He set her feet down, letting Paul and Marko
help keep her upright. Dwayne stood
behind her, giving her much needed support to keep standing, with the other two
flanking her. Somewhere in the back of
her mind, Cora was aware of what was going on.
She knew she was standing, well, kind of standing. She knew somehow that this is what the
argument on the stairs was about. She
saw David walk up to her, instinctively trying to sink back into Dwayne, into
safety. But she couldn’t. The vodka had done its job. She was now at the mercy of four
vampires. Four hot vampires, but
vampires none the less.
David approached
his brothers holding up Cora. He looked
into her eyes, saying something. She
couldn’t quite understand, and she really didn’t care. She was about to pass out.
“Oh no you don’t.”
David dumped some ice down the front of her shirt. Cora sputtered and gasped, shocked out of her stupor. Still not quite able to stand on her own,
Cora swayed, and was caught back against Dwayne’s chest. He wrapped his arms around her, crossing his
arms over her stomach, effectively securing her arms. She started to struggle a little, slowly becoming conscious of
the situation. She saw David take off
his gloves, not knowing how frightened she should be. He stepped into her.
“This might hurt.”
David placed his
ungloved hands on Cora’s face, thumbs in front of her ears, fingers splayed
out. It didn’t happen immediately, but
when it hit, it hit hard.
David was looking down at the scene unfolding. Some kind of martial arts test in a
gym. Flash forward to the same gym, he
watches Cora receive her black belt.
Flashing over to Cora sitting at a desk, in front of a computer. All day, every day. And he can hear her discontent. Flash to a funeral. Her parents. Car crash. Too painful. She pushes
him out of that memory. Stunned for a
split second, David dives back into her mind.
Late night. Popcorn. Movie night with the girls. He sees the screen. The Lost Boys. The carousel. The
surf-nazis. Max. Star and Laddie. Michael. Maggots, worms, and Frogs. Cora starts to struggle. Marko with a wooden steak through his
chest. Pauly in the water. She
whimpered. He sees himself
impaled on a horned skull. Cora tries to get free, wiggling and thrashing in
earnest. Dwayne. Death by stereo. “NO!!” Cora screamed, forcing
David out of her mind, pushing him back.
She fell into Dwayne’s arms, shaking, breathing heavy and
whimpering. David was in no better
shape. He stumbled back, landing hard
against the back of the couch, Paul and Marko catching him before he fell flat
on his ass. Eyes wide, he stared at
her. Feeling his gaze, Cora looked over
to him. As soon as their eyes met, Cora
grunted. Eyes rolling back into her
head, she passed out.
Dwayne carefully
picked her up and carried her back though the tunnels to his room, his own
bed. He would let her go nowhere
else. After seeing to David, both Paul
and Marko followed Dwayne, concerned for both their brother and Cora. They stopped at his door, silently asking
permission. Dwayne looked down at
Cora’s sleeping form, and nodded. He
pulled the covers over her, and lay down next to her, on top of the
covers. Paul and Marko take the chairs
on either side of the bed, watching over them.
David’s mind was
reeling. What he saw… he couldn’t make
heads or tails of it all. Not yet. He needed to sleep on it. Needed time to sort though it. To understand it. He stumbled back down the tunnels to his room, stopping at
Dwayne’s door. Looking in, he smiled
despite himself. “Careful when she
wakes up.” David warned and Dwayne
looked up at him. “She’ll be fightin’ mad… and she’s got a black belt.” With that, he left to find his own rest.
