" im feeling time move slow - im seeing faces glow. none of them shine as bright as you tonight."
My body was exhausted from all the pain I've put it through within these last few days. I look around my fathers house before dragging my bags out with me.
Walking down stairs I keep my head down and felt my stomach twist in knots, I was ready to go home but being here felt like I was home too.
I fiddle with my hands before throwing my arms around my fathers shoulders, hugging him tightly as tears fell from my eyes.
Asher and Silas stood by the front door as I hugged my family, "You aren't moving across the world, plus you can come here whenever you want. That room will always be yours," My father whispered in my ear.
My arms tighten around him before I pull away, bringing a hand down my face, wiping away the fallen tears.
Biting my lip I follow my brothers outside towards Silas' car. We jump in and he honks the horn before pulling out of the driveway, heading in the direction the GPS said.
My parents got in early this morning and already had the house all done up, they called and said it was finally time to come home.
I slept the whole drive to the house and was brought out of my nap when Asher began shaking my shoulders like a mad man.
Grumbling I jump out of the car and stumble around before regaining my balance, the house was large and beautiful. Making me question how my parents could afford it.
The lake was right there too, it was a good spot in the middle of the woods. More room for me to wander around.
We walk through the front door and my jaw dropped slightly, the house was all lit up and looked like a place where a rich person would live.
I was pulled into my dads arms before I could even look at him, laughing out I hug him back before pulling away.
"The house is really nice," I state, they both smiled at us and warmth spread throughout my chest.
They may not have made me but they deserved the title as my mom and dad.
"We thought it would be perfect right here on the lake next to the woods, that way you can do whatever it is you do, and Silas can work as well," Dad said and I felt my stomach flip in knots.
Chewing my lip I frown at them, "You guys know about us?" I question, hearing my brothers laugh behind me.
They smile, "Yes we know about you guys and the abilities you have," Mom said, grinning.
"We aren't blind yet honey," Dad says, messing up my hair.
Smiling I swat away his hand and breathe out deeply, "So you guys know I'm a Vampire and witch?" I ask slowly and they stood there with amusement written in their eyes.
"Of course, and we know Silas is a necromancer and Asher here is a sorcerer," Dad says, causing my heart to stutter.
I suck in a breath and look down to my feet, "So you know I've been in contact with my other family? My father?" I ask and I watch my dad wince.
Mom nods her head, placing a hand on my dads shoulder, "Yes dear, we figured it out," She says and I felt this weird feeling come over me.
Dad remained silent while mom rubbed his shoulder, "Their great," I whisper out and it looked like someone just insulted my dad because he grumbled while narrowing his eyes.
Frowning I walk towards him and wrap my arms around him, "He may be my father but you're my dad," I whisper out.
His arms shot out and wrapped around me tightly, he held me to his chest and rubbed my back softly, "Good," He whispered back.
After a few moments we pulled apart and I looked at my parents and than to my brothers.
"I'll always love you guys," I whisper out, "You guys chose me to be apart of your family and I wouldn't want it any other way," I say, causing them all to grumble out.
They all walk around me and squeezed me in a family group hug, it's been a while since we did this.
I laugh out and stand there with them all wrapped around me, this is what I needed.
_____________________________
I wanna lay in your arms when the world is burning
I wanna dig in your heart, take away your hurting
Kiss me and tell me I'm fine and forget we're dying
I spun around my huge bedroom, the music blasting through my stereo. Mom and dad notified me that my room was sound proof, meaning I could blast my music and they wouldn't hear anything.
"You seem happier than usual," His voice appeared and I spun around, grinning at Francis who became nothing but a blur as I spun around, dancing to the beat.
I wanna feel you tonight like the very first time
Let's run away, baby, drive straight into the moonlight
Kiss me and tell me you're mine like no one's watching
Like time is stopping
The lights around my room flickered when my bedroom window slid open and Ben swung himself in, his eyes widening slightly when they land on me there dancing around in nothing but my boxers and tank top.
My face burns in embarrassment and I watch as he slips off his leather jacket, throwing it on my bed before walking towards me.
He grabs my hand in his and tugs me forward so I nearly went crashing into his chest. I stand in front of him and feel my cheeks burn hotter when he slides an arm around my waist, pulling me closer to him.
I know forever don't exist
But after this life, I'll find you in the next
So when I say "forever," it's the goddamn truth
I'll keep finding, finding you
He dips me backwards, keeping his arms tightly around me before pulling me back up slowly.
I suck in a breath right when he spun me outwards, "Ben what are you doing?" I ask, giggling.
He cocked an eyebrow at me, "You never came back, meaning we didn't finish dancing," He says, twirling me around.
I'm gonna search for your love, right through Hell and Heaven
Millions of years yet to come and in all dimensions
I know that you'll always be my happy ending
My happy ending
My heart was racing in my chest and I felt light headed, he spun us around and twirled me around, earning giggles from me.
He holds me there to him and sways us slowly back and forth, I rest my head on his chest as he moved us.
I know forever don't exist
But after this life, I'll find you in the next
So when I say "forever," it's the goddamn truth
I'll keep finding, finding you
He dipped me back again and kept me in my place, the music playing around us.
His eyes lock with mine and the feeling that spread throughout my body was unnamable. My arms stayed wrapped around his shoulders as he looked down at me, so many emotions swirling in his dark eyes.
I know forever don't exist
But after this life, I'll find you in the next
So when I say "forever," it's the goddamn truth
I'll keep finding, finding you
My vision was blurry as he twirled me around and around, his hold tightening when I nearly slipped out of his hands.
The song switched and I thought he was going to pull away but he didn't, he stayed there in front of me with his arms tangled around me.
I always said when I'm gone, when I'm dead
Don't lay me down with the dirt on my head
You won't need a shovel, you don't need a cold headstone
You don't need to cry, I'm gon' be going home
He twirled me outwards and I laugh out, my head falling back as a smile graced my face. In this moment I felt normal in a way.
I'm waiting for my spaceship to come back to me
It's coming back for me
I don't really care if you believe it's coming back for me, yeah
I been in a lonesome galaxy
But in my dreams, I see them come 'n rescue me
I look up at him and flash him a toothy smile, "You know, for a guy that claimed he couldn't dance, you aren't too bad," I say.
Look up in the sky and there they'll be
I bet you'll think of me then
You're gonna say, "Ooh, look at that, oh yeah, yeah"
His eyes twinkled and that famous smile covered his lips, "Its because I have a good dance partner," He retorted.
Damn, if it ain't true
They're coming back for me, they're coming back for me, yeah
I scoff out, rolling my eyes, "I couldn't dance to save my life," I say, snorting out.
I knew from the start I don't belong in these parts
There's too much hate, there's too much hurt for this heart
His lips twitch and his eyes light up, "I can believe that," He laughs out.
Lord knows this planet feels like a hopeless place
Thank God I'm going back home to outer space
The music was soothing and kept the environment calm, it was nice when Ben and I could be in the same room without trying to kill each other. I wish it would happen more often.
I'm waiting for my spaceship to come back to me
It's coming back for me
"You really have no charm," I laugh out, my hands playing with the ends of his hair.
I don't really care if you believe it's coming back for me, yeah
I been living in a lonesome galaxy
But in my dreams, I see them come 'n rescue me
He places one of his hands in my hair and we swayed back and forth, the rhythm surging through us.
For a wild beast he was extremely gentle, his touch always soft and leaving tingles behind when he moves.
Look up in the sky and there they'll be
I bet you'll think of me then
Warmth spread throughout my body like a wildfire and for a moment I thought I was up in flames.
You're gonna say, "Ooh, look at that, oh yeah, yeah"
Damn, if it ain't true
"For the first time in my life, I don't feel so alone in the world," I whisper out, not meeting his gaze.
They're coming back for me, they're coming back for me, yeah
As the song came to an end he dipped me back once more, this time holding me there in his arms, his eyes never once looking away from mine.
"Nothing is real, love is everything and I know nothing," I whisper out.
His eyes glowed that vibrant red as he looked down at me, "You are truly out of this world," He whispered before sliding me back up to my feet.
All I felt was warmth.
