As Worlds Collide

Chapter Five: The Clan

I was nervous. Why? Being judged by other vampires, not that I cared what anyone else thought as long as my maker accepted me, it still seemed to be nerve racking.  I slowly slipped down the spiral stair case with my master at my side wrapped around my arm. I couldn’t stop smiling in fact I’m surprised that my jaw bones weren’t throbbing from smiling! Thor seemed to be just as pleased. We reached the bottom stair that faced the entry way where 6 other vampires stood. I got the sense of closeness from Thor which told me one thing and one thing only. This was “his” clan. This is the group I would eventually belong to as soon as I could prove myself. I held a simple grin as they all gazed at Thor and I. I couldn’t figure out what they were all in awe about and then I remembered my beauty. If I was still warm-blooded I’m sure that my cheeks would be blood red. I didn’t realize I was frozen on the last step, until Thor managed to let out one of those reality check coughs, everyone bursted out in laughter. The embarrassment started to sink in even more and Thor began to sense it as he ran his thumb over my hand as if to say everything would be ok. I stepped off the last step as Thor cleared his throat to speak,

“My fellow Vamps with long overdue, it is my pleasure to finally introduce the lovely Misty.”

As if I wasn’t embarrassed enough. All 6 of them started clapping and whistling. There was still so much I needed to talk to Thor about but I figured I would have to put on a show for a few hours and maybe I could find some information out by just listening. They were all just as mesmerizing as I. Who knew vampires could be so attractive. I’m as not so sure they would look as attractive to humans as they did me, the newly turned vamp, but I couldn’t be surrounded by more attractive people.

“To the kitchen” Thor announced “time for drinks!”

Thank goodness he got the attention and eyes off me. They all seemed like quite the wild bunch but I had a good feeling it was going to be a good night. I went to pour myself a drink when I was stopped by a blonde male with the same stormy eyes as Thor. Not the same but like the same, nothing could compare to my makers eyes. I was snapped back to reality when I heard the blonde male speaking to me.

“You know you can’t drink yet right? I mean not that much changes when you cross over to our world little lady!”

I set the bottle down worried that breaking a law would upset my maker, then I heard his voice and he was laughing wildly

“Now now Tucker! Don’t play tricks on the new born, My newborn.”

I looked up at Thor with a slight smile on my face. Tucker put his hand out as if to shake mine but he grabbed it and kissed the back of my ice cold hand with his freezing lips.

“I’m Tucker. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you Misty.”

“Pleasures all mine" I responded.

Thor spoke up with an urgency as though he had something to do and quickly. “Tucker introduce her to the rest of the clan, I need to drag Ivy out from hiding.”

“Not a problem Thor, just don’t be surprised if she ends up on my arm before you return.” Tucker chuckled.

Thor let out one of his deep laughs which told me he was truly amused but Tucker’s cockiness.

“Tuck, that will never happen, trust me when I say NEVER!”, as he waltzed away still laughing.

I couldn’t help but giggling at the look of defeat on Tuckers face! Tucker’s blonde hair fell perfectly at his shoulders with a bit of a wave to it. Almost reminded me of Ivy’s hair but hers was much more elegantly placed. Three of the vampires had found themselves seated on the couch catching up it had obviously been a long time since they had all seen each other. The other two were shooting some pool on the table that was placed so perfectly in the middle of the entertainment room. We approached the three sitting on the couch I couldn’t help but notice that only two of the group were female, well soon to be three including myself, and the other four were males. Two women sat so comfortably on the couch on either side of the male. Both women had cherry brown hair almost burgundy, they both had beautiful features and their eyes were also storm grey but again not as magnicifent as my makers.  They were both in jean skirts and t shirts. They were quite beautiful!

“This is Macie and Jaycie” tucker announced to me “They’re twins. Not only twins from their live birth but also the birth into their afterlife.”

“Nice to meet you” I said with a simple smile.

“You as well” They both replied in sync with each other.

They went back to talking around the bored looking male sitting between them on the couch. He was attractive. Brown hair with bleach blonde tips, eyes that were the same as the rest of the clans, that grey stormy look but Thor’s by far were filled with far more power than the rest of the clans. I missed him I know he wasn’t gone very long but I wanted him back next to me.

“That’s Jorgan” Tucker announced.

I just smiled a gitty little smile “Nice to meet you Jorgan.”

“Yep you too doll.” He replied.

I shot a look at Tucker worried this Jorgan character was making a pass at me with my maker being away for the moment. Tucker bursted out in laughter reading my facial expressions

“Not in your dreams doll! The twins are his and he’s got plenty on his hands with those two lil hell raisers.”

I breathed a sigh of relief as I let out a little laugh myself. We headed over to the pool table to meet the two men playing a competitive game of pool.

“Cheap shot!” one of them screamed out!

“The loud mouth over there is Jax and the one just laughing because he knows he will beat Jax is Taer, he’s the strong silent type.”

Jax was a huge vamp. Like one of those burly biker men but more muscular, he was definitely a fighter and didn’t need to keep his mouth shut because if anyone dared challenge he would lay down a beating. Taer was indeed the strong silent type and the only one with fire red hair. But again both men had eyes the same as the others in the group.

I felt icy arms wrap tightly around my slim waist and a chilling breath next to my ear “Miss me yet?” my maker asked as he held me so close.

“More with every second” I replied sweetly.

And that’s when I caught Ivy standing in the doorway to the entertainment room glaring as she swirled her drink in her glass. She and I for some reason were the only two with deep purple eyes that made me wonder somehow we were connected deeper than just her being roomies and practically sisters with my maker. She had a look of jealousy come over her as she wiped it away quickly she politely returned my smile as she slipped into the love seat next to the couch.

That look made me wonder what exactly was going on in her mind. Did she not like me? But she smiled back so I could just be over reacting. When suddenly laughter emerged from the couch that the twins, Maycie and Jaycie, and their maker Jorgan. None of us were sure of what was so humorous but it must have been good because all three of them were practically rolling with laughter. Taer and Tucker seated themselves on both sides of Ivy and started debating which one she would pick

“Neither of you stand a chance in hell” she stated as she removed herself from the couch and walked towards the kitchen I assume to get herself another drink.

I wasn’t sure what she was attempting to drink away or maybe she was just letting loose and relaxing. Thor sensed my confusion and worry and as he kissed my cheek everything and everyone in that entertainment disappeared as I melted under the power my maker held. The room was silenced as I snapped back to reality. Thor and I seated ourselves on bar stools next to Jax. It was obviously meeting time with or without Ivy. Who once again disappeared, I definitely had some questions for my maker when this meeting was over given that I wasn’t melting beneath his touch. Oh how I loved him so. Nothing could ever change this now everlasting bond. I was His.
