Time Suck [vampire! reader insert]

Chapter 7 [a look into the future]

Her eyes narrowed distrustfully, wrinkly face twisting in suspicion.

"Clare." Taby brought the old-looking woman's attention. "I assure you they didn't."

The tension in the room seemed to waver for a couple of seconds before the Eldest spoke again towards you "Since the lost ones seem to be roaming around your house I would appreciate it if you let us stay in your castle."

"Wait. 'Us'?" Owl spoke up with a displeased expression "I'm not staying at their house! And why do we all need to be there anyway!?"

"We do not know if there aren't more of them around, they might pose a greater threat than you think. Plus I would appreciate it if maybe you tried to get along with others more, Owl. I think it would benefit you in the long run." They spoke with a caring expression, not moving even an inch from their comfortable position in the stone chair.

The stoic vampires face twisted a little before he bowed his head ever so slightly "I'm sorry Eldest...i will try to cooperate..."

Tabys' presence seemed to squeeze out even the tiniest drop of respect from anyone, the fact that even the gloomy vampire was no exception intrigued Noah even further.

"Noah," Eldest called out to the teen. "How are you doing? Have they been treating you well?" They asked pointing slightly towards you.

"Y-Yes. They gave me clothes, food, and even my own room." He said timidly, fiddling with his fingers under the table.

You shifted a little in your seat, glancing at Taby you were relieved to see them looking at you with the same caring eyes.

You really did not want to see them angry ever again.

"Have you grown taller?" Eunice suddenly asked, her chin planted on the table as she looked up at you with her big eyes. "You're going to become a giant soon if you don't stop" she chuckled.

"I hope I can finally stop getting taller." You groaned out. "It's harder and harder to find clothes that would fit me."

Noah's shoulders relaxed as the conversation swayed away the negative feelings from the air. Feeling a tap on his shoulder the teen turned to the side only to slightly flinch back, the vampire with pearl earrings only inches away from his face.

"C-Can I help you...?" Noah whispered, face painted red at the close proximity.

"I don't think I properly introduced myself." He stated reaching out a hand towards the teen with a cunning smile "My name is Otto. It's good to see you alive."

"Y-Yeah...its good to see you alive as well...?" He shook the vampire's cold hand with a wobbly smile.

"So. Any new symptoms?"

"Symptoms...of what...?"

"Your cycle. I can see your hair is almost completely white." Otto reached out and ran his hand gently through Noah's locks. "Any vomiting? Stomach pains? Teeth loss?"

"W-What?!" The male screeched out. "Cycle? Pains?"

"Ohhhh. You haven't started phase two yet!" The vampire laughed. "Sorry, sorry I hurried things too much."

"What do you mean...by vomiting...?"

"Well, your body will start getting rid of organs it doesn't need and replacing them with new ones."

Noah's entire face paled immediately as he stared at Otto with fear-filled eyes.

"Don't worry you're not going to vomit out your kidneys or something!" The male laughed and patted the other man on the back.
