Chapter Twelve:
An introduction to the Wolves

I walked onward with my four vampires. My hand was entwined with Ryan’s as we entered the large, expensive looking restaurant. He glanced down at me, his eyes turning their gorgeous hazel, soothing my soul. I smiled happily as Brendon looked towards the waiter.

“Good evening sir, a table for five?” He asked. The waiter examined all of us silently then nodded.

“Right. This way please.” He said calmly, picking up five menus then leading us inward. We sat down at a small table near the back. The man leaned down to Ryan, muttering in his ear. I looked away, exchanging glances with Brendon.

“So, Mr. Urie. How are you celebrating the new year?” I asked. Brendon blinked slightly.

“New years is coming up?” He asked. I laughed and nodded.

“Yeah, in a month. Christmas is coming up too” I stated. Spencer smiled happily.

“Christmas? We haven’t celebrated that in years! Can we have a Christmas this year? Please?” He asked eagerly. 

“Oh yeah! That’d be so awesome if you guys did!” I said happily. John rolled his eyes.

“There’s a reason why we don’t have Christmas-” John began, but was interrupted by Ryan.

“Yes. We’ll have a Christmas this year.” He said calmly. Spencer and I exchanged glances, looking like a couple of excited children on, well, Christmas. Brendon clapped his hands.

“I’ll make a feast then! I’ll add blood into our meals and have regular food for miss Taya. It’ll be wondrous!” He cried. Ryan nodded, his teeth glistening in the dim light.

“It sounds like it will be. Taylor, will you be returning home for Christmas? Or will you join us?” He asked. I blinked silently, confused.

“Returning home? But I told my mom I’m not coming back this morning” I said softly. Ryan nodded.

“I see. Very well. Then we’ll make this the best Christmas you’ve ever had!” He stated. Brendon and Spencer nodded.

“Welcome to the family!” They cooed. John rolled his eyes.

“She’s not in the family yet” He grumbled. I sighed, looking back out the window. I felt the iritance rising, but I held it back. I wasn’t going to let John get the best of me. I leaned back into the chair, watching the waiter come back with a bottle of what looked to be wine. But when he poured the substance into the four other’s glasses, I knew exactly what it was. He was about to pour some into mine, when Ryan placed a finger on the rim of the bottle.

“Excuse me. She’s not one of us.” He said calmly. For some reason, that phrase made my heart drop… I stared down at my menu, flicking through it quietly. I really didn’t belong here, did I? I wasn’t in their family and I was just making them worry over me for false reasons. I glanced out the window, my ears suddenly growing larger as a sound caught my ears. I turned to the others.

“Get down!” I ordered, grabbing Spencer and pushing him towards the ground. The others followed as a street sign barely missed us. We all stood up slowly, staring at the two vampires standing at the broken window. Pete’s golden eyes made the hair on my neck stand up. I quickly stared at the other vampire, but his eyes were red so it didn’t help any more. I felt Ryan push me behind him and snarl as Pete stepped into the building. 

“Pete. Leave, before I’m forced to get violent.” Ryan growled, his voice low. Pete smirked, stepping forward menacingly.

“What are you going to do? Throw your pussy blood at me? Come on, we know that fresh blood makes you stronger. Just hand over the girl and no one gets hurt.” He sneered. The other vampire followed behind him quietly, his curly brown hair and piercing red eyes making me more uncomfortable than John’s eyes. I stepped back nervously, my eyes locked with his. I heard a loud growl ricochet against the walls, snapping me back to reality. I stared forward at the four wolves standing at the wall now, on the other side of Pete and vampire #2. Pete grinned as he looked towards the other wall, two more vampires bursting through the side wall. The waiter moaned as I felt his pain of having to repair almost all of the walls of his restaurant. I glanced over at the vampires that entered, but before I could get a good look at them, I was pushed further back as Pete lunged. I felt my cast thump against the ground as I fell over, unable to support myself. I felt a pair of warm arms around me suddenly, pulling me back up. I looked up into the eyes of Frankie as he hoisted me into his arms.

“And now, we’re going to make a daring escape” He teased, running out into the kitchen. There was a noise behind me as I saw another vampire running at us. This one had about shoulder length red hair and wore glasses. His black eyes stared at me in anger as he dashed forward, clawing at Frankie. Frankie smirked as he kicked open the door and turned the corner.

“Climb on my back!” He called to me as we ran. I widened my eyes at his ridiculous statement.

“What?” I asked, shocked. His grin spread.

“Come on, just do it. Trust me!” He shouted, turning down another alley way. I cringed as he hoisted me over his shoulder and held my arms as I slid onto his back. His eyes turned their vibrant blue as his body began to twist into some strange shape. His body was now covered in black fur which shone in the moon light. He suddenly went down on all fours, dashing onward. I clung, wrapping my fingers around his locks of black fur. I felt the wind brush past my face as the warm fur lulled me into a false sense of security. I felt my body suddenly fly through the air as I was knocked off by the other vampire. I saw the moon beams falling on my face, then my mind went black as I ate the pavement.
