Thunder rolled in the distance as lightening lit up the clouds on the horizon, the usual spring storms. I sighed, slinging my bag over my shoulder, I began to jog home, trying to avoid a good soaking. I saw a car in my drive way. I rolled my eyes.
"Amy and her stupid slob of a boyfriend." I muttered. I went to turn the knob but it was locked. Disgusted, I heard the groans of my room mate and her boyfriend. I dug my phone out of my pocket book and called her number. It rang, and rang, and rang, until she finally answered.
"What, Heather!" I heard Amy hiss, annoyed.
"Let me in hoe." I told her. I heard her groan, agitated.
"Hey, my damn house, you get your own home you can do what ever you want, when ever you want, for however long you want, but until then, hurry up and open the door before I get soaked." I barked.
Click. Came from the other end of the line, I heard Amy stomp down the stairs and the lock being undone. She opened the door, her dyed blonde hair was disheveled and she glared at me with her grass green eyes. I smiled evilly, brushing past her I threw my bag beside the hall table.
"Some Irish guy kept calling you, about having to talk to you." Amy told me, scratching her scalp.
"WHAT! Why didn't you tell him to call my cell!" I hissed at her.
"I don't know." She replied. I snorted.
"You were too busy getting laid to do anything!" I hissed at her. I huffed, calling back Gerard.
"Heather, I have got to talk to you!" Gerard basically yelled over the phone.
"Alright, What!" I hissed.
" I need to come over, and I have someone that really doesn't need to be here!" Gerard said. I heard an agitated yell in the background.
"You know last night's storm?" I rolled my eyes.
"Yes. Why?" I asked.
"Well, you might want to get Casey, reality and a movie world have crashed togather!." He told me. Casey was an inter galactic warrior that had the ability to switch dimensions and separate worlds. My eyes widened.
"Um Gerard, we have an issue there her watch got stolen and that thing is the only way she can separate, or switch worlds. So whoever you have, they'll have to hang with you for awhile." I told him.
"I don't think that will work." He told me. I huffed, rolling my eyes.
"Why?" I asked him.
"Just because, why doesn't he stay with you?"Gerard asked desperately, I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah, who are they?" I asked.
"Dracula." My eyes bulged.
"Are you crazy!" I hissed.
"No, just let him come stay with you for awhile, you're room mate has a boyfriend, right, she can go stay with him until we clear this up. Please, Heather, I promise you I will repay you if you let him stay." Gerard begged, I huffed and rolled my eyes.
"Alright, bring him over." I told him.
"Thank you!" He told me, I only hung up, looking to Amy.
"Pack up. You're going to go stay with your boyfriend for awhile." Amy only smiled and ran upstairs.
Two Hours Later
I huffed, the overly quiet house was unsettling. I jumped as the doorbell rang, looking up I went to the door. I, out of habit, looked through the peep hole. I saw Gerard, and behind him, looking around, almost nervously, a bag slung over his shoulder. I undid the lock and opened the door. Gerard stepped in, Dracula strode in after him, looking me up and down, I glared at him.
"Your eyes better stay at eye level the rest of the time you're here. Am I clear?" I hissed at him.
"Crystal." He told me, his voice had a seducing hint to it. I huffed and closed the door behind him.
"Don't try to charm her, Heather doesn't like it, alright, behave, act like you've got 2,000 years of experience." Gerard told her.
"Depends on what you mean by experience, Gerard." Dracula replied. I wasn't even facing the two men, but I could feel Gerard's glare, and it wasn't even directed towards me.
"Alright." Dracula told him, giving in Gerard started headed towards the door.
"Make sure you wear something silver at all times, alright?" He whispered, grabbing my arm. I looked at him, nodding. I sighed as Gerard strode out the door. I was left alone with the king of vampires. I heard Dracula sigh, I entered the living room to see him already sitting down like he owned the place.
"Um, I need to-" Dracula cut me off.
"I'm not a vampire here, I'm a complete human, I even have a heart beat. It feels odd." He told me. I looked at him funny.
"I can prove it to you if you want me to." He told me, I looked at him wearily.
"Come on, I won't hurt you." He told me, waving his hand towards himself, I rolled my eyes and came up to him. The supposed ex-vampire stood, reaching out, he took my hand, his own was warm, and placed my hand on his opposite wrist, I felt the slightest sign of movement, a pulse. I looked up at him, meeting his gentle green eyes. I took my hand back and sat down in my recliner, nervously playing with my anklet, not used to Judas Iscariot sitting on my couch.
"You like the beach?" He asked, indicating my choice of decorations, drift wood I've found, shells. Sail boats sat proudly on the entertainment center shelves. "Yeah." I said simply, shy, I stood.
"Come on, I need to show you your room." I told him, Dracula stood, towering in the room. Gerard wasn't THAT tall.
"How'd you meet Gerard?" He asked. I huffed.
"My dad was a Hollywood special effects engineer, he took me on a scene he was working at and I met him there." I told Dracula. Ascending the stairs Dracula was still at the stairwell when I stopped by Amy's old room, not a trace of her existence anywhere I inclined my eyebrows briefly and stood at the doorway. Dracula came into the hall and walked down the corridor and met me.
"This is it?" He asked, looking at me. I nodded.
"I'll get you some sheets." I told him.
"Don't bother, I'd be more comfortable without them." He told me, stepping in, throwing his bag down beside the vanity, flopping down on the bare matress, closing his eyes. I sighed.
"Well, make yourself at home, you may be here for awhile." I told him, Dracula opened one eye lazily.
"I wouldn't mind staying here fore a while." He told me.
A/N: I know this says POTO/Dracula 2000, and Erik hasn't shown up yet HE WILL! In case ya'll were wondering.
