1990 Outside Bon Jovi After Party
I was walking outside one of the members of Bon Jovi's house. I swear they can throw one hell of a party, not that I remember much after about 2 hours in I was taking PCP.
It's been a year since Tony died and it still hurts. I've tried everything to dual the pain. I thought sex with someone would dual it since everything else hasn't been working. But still even after just finishing having sex with Jon from Bon Jovi, I don't feel anything but heart ache and rage. After I was done having sex with Jon the asswhole passed out on top of me from all the alcohol and drugs. So I just pushed him off of me and got dressed.
So here I am a year later I am still messed up over Tony's death. I don't like talking to Melinda and Jack now and days because all they say is 'it's okay and just give yourself some time.' Then they say 'you have to move on and live your life Tony wouldn't want you doing this to yourself.' What do they know they still have each other, I have no one.
With that I take another swig of Vodka. Then I smack into someone. So I say "Hey fucker get out of my way!" Then when I look up I see the most beautiful clear blue eyes, like clear translucent water, stare at me. Then he says "You need to calm down and go home."
That pisses me off so I concentrate I smell something different about him. He's not human. My instincts take over and I go on high alert. Suddenly my eyes turn golden yellow and I'm ready to attack.
One of the guys next to blue eyes freaks out and says "Oh shit it's a vamp!!!"
Then suddenly all them transform into what looks like a mix of a wolf with human features. I'm still disoriented from the alcohol and drugs so I'm not as fast as usual. So I don't see the kick from behind my head.
Last thing I remember is blue eyes yelling at the others. Telling them to calm down and retreat home before someone sees them. 3 hours later I wake up feeling groggy. I try getting my equilibrium and figure out where I am at. I look around and see that I am laying on a soft silk covered day bed.
The room is dimly lit because the lights have been turned down. I see that I'm in some sort of parlor area. It is very nice and modern, but if you look closely you can see a lot of things from the 1800's and early 1900's. Like the drapes on the window and the paintings on the wall look to be from the 1880's. Before I can inspect more someone comes in. Before I can attack I notice that its blue eyes.
I get angry because I feel like a captive, so I say to him "Where am I?"
He says calmly "You're in my home. No one will hurt you, I promise. My friend sometimes over reacts, when people are overly aggressive. Please sit down I won't harm you. I have no problem with vampires I swear, one of my friends are a vampire. Please sit."
I don't know why, but I trust him and trust that he is telling me the truth so I sit down. But I keep a distance. He then sits down himself, sure to not invade my space.
He speaks and says "My name is Tyler. What's yours?"
"Isabella. What are you because you are definitely not human?"
"I'm a werewolf"
"You are the first werewolf I have seen that looks like you do. How old are you?"
"Well I'm sure what you have seen looks like a large wolf the size of a bear. Well that is not a true werewolf, a shape shifter yes, but I am what a true werewolf looks like. And I'm 20 years old. How old are you "
"515. Why are you not trying to kill me like the others?"
"Because I have no problem with vampires unless they attack me. I was raised to be very open minded. It's strange how I couldn't tell that you were a vampire the second you came near me. How is that possible?"
"Because that is one of my powers, I have certain characteristics that make me seem human and mask my vampire side. I don't know why I am telling you all this. I shouldn't trust you, but I do for some reason."
"Strangely, I trust you too."
I smiled and said "Well I should go."
"Yes well now that I know you are alright I guess you should. I'll walk you out"
As we walked outside to the gate in the front I stopped and said to him "Would you mind if we saw each other again? I find you to be very intriguing and it's been a while since I've had a pleasant conversation with someone who isn't on drugs or drunk."
He smiled and said "How about tomorrow at 2 pm at the pier by the beach?"
I smiled and said "That sounds great. Goodnight Tyler"
"Goodnight Isabella"
The next day at the beach {Tyler's POV)
It's strange, but for some unknown reason I trust Isabella. She is very guarded though not that she shouldn't be, it's in her nature as a vampire to be. I still find it curious how we sort of opened up to each other so quickly.
I didn't attack her when she attacked me because I was in shock that I didn't realize that she was a vampire the second she came near me. I can't believe Luke kicked her in the head. It pissed me off that he hurt her, even though I know he was just trying to protect me.
My parents raised me to be a leader, but to be open minded unlike the others. To not judge someone just because others automatically have the notion, that if someone is different than you, you have to automatically hate them. Well I'm glad to say I don't share that belief. As Alpha of my pack I try to teach the others to be open minded, but I see that it will take time.
I have to say that I find Isabella very attractive. She doesn't act like a normal vampire. Any other vampire that is as old as she would not hold a conversation with me, but would just try to kill anyone that agitated them. I find that very intriguing.
I want to get to know her better. It's strange, but it feels like I have been waiting for her forever. I can remember my mother telling that one day I would find the one person to change my life; my soul mate. I'm surprised to think that it could be a vampire.
Before I keep going on with my internal rant, I see her coming near me. It is a good thing I know how to control and mask my emotions because when she comes toward me I am in awe. How can this gorgeous creature be a vampire?
She stops in front of me smiles and says "Hello Tyler"
I smile back and say "Hello Isabella. Shall we take a walk?
"Yes that would be great"
We start walking the shore of the secluded beach when she says "I apologize last night for my behavior; I'm usually not like that. It's just that I have been going through a tough time, so it seems that the only way I know how to cope with it these days is do drugs and drink"
She gives an embarrassed look and I have to say I am humbled by it. It is rare for a vampire to act like this, to feel apologetic for their actions. I tell her "It's alright. If you don't mind me asking, what has you so troubled?"
She gives me a hesitant look, like she is deciding whether or not she should tell me. Then she says "It's my husband."
I am shocked to find out she is married. I mask my disappointment by asking her "You had a fight or something?"
Then she gives me this look where she looks like she is in ultimate pain then quietly says "No, he's dead. He died about a year ago. It's very hard on me. We grew up together. Even though we were meant to be enemies."
"How is that?"
"Well being an Orsini and him Borgia, we were enemies by birth."
I am in shock to find out that she is the daughter of one the most dangerous historical figures in history. So I say "Wait you are Isabella Orsini?"
Then she says nonchalantly "Yes."
"Your father is one of the most dangerous figures in history and the rivalry between Orisini and Borgia is one of the brutalist in history"
For some reason this makes her laugh and say "Yes well, my father earned that titled well. He was a very evil and conniving man. Used me because he thought he could bring down the Borgia's through my relationship with one of his sons. To say he was angry when he found out I was in love with a Borgia is an understatement. If it wasn't because I ran away with him when we were 17 he would have killed me. Especially because I broke off the engagement to the one man that could have helped my father come into great power."
I am again shocked by what she is telling me. Also how she speaks so casually about it. "You speak so casually about it. Why is that?"
"Because I have made my peace with it a very long time ago. Yes, I still hate my father for his brutality, but after so many years and having had so many experiences I have learned to not dwell on the past much."
"I have to say you intrigue me. I have not met a vampire like you before."
"And I have never met a werewolf like you before. You are very young to be an Alpha though. If you don"t mind me saying?"
I laugh and say "I am older then I look."
"How so?"
"Because we age differently than humans. For instance every 15 years we turn 1 year older."
She looks shocked and says "So you are older then you look. Well that helps."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Well being a vampire a lot of my friends that aren't vampires themselves die from old age. At least I know with you that's not really the case"
"Yes well that's good. But then with you, you never have to die from old age."
"Yes well being forever 21 has its perks"
