Clash of the Races' : The nightmare returns

"Mum....Im 100% positive...not even a speck of dirt on the dress."

"Yeah,"he said handing her the water"and Im saying there's no way in hell your fighting vampires"

 

"Good." Lake nodded, finally stopping circling her daughter like an overprotective vulture.

"Well I don't think I'm going to have too much choice if what they say is true River." Hermia said just before taking a sip from the glass.

 

"There's always a choice....just pick the one that keeps you safe...both of you safe.."he said pleadingly

sshe smiled before turning to Adam "Are you two ok?"

 

"Fine, I'll try to keep out of the way. But I'm not turning into a simpering little b*tch border collie for the next nine months." She said, more then just somewhat reluctantly.

"Yeah, we're fine." Adam smiled.

"Speak for yourself!" Raye said, looking a little frustrated. "The way he was dragging us off I snapped my heel and nearly my ankle with it!"

"That's hardly a matter of life or death Raye..."

 

"No one said you had to...I just want to protect you...is that so hard?"


"Trust you to worry about a high heel....how's it going with Amy?"

 

"You know I don't like having to depend on other people..." Hermia said as she sunk down the wall and sat on the wooden floor boards.

"You can hear for yourself if you're quiet enough." Adam sighed, looking upwards. "They've been at it since we got back. Amy's mad that they didn't tell her, and it screaming about trust and stuff and your sister and Jackson are just going on about how they did it to protect her and her sister."

 

"Ah the old ' did it to protect you' bit huh? families famous for it 'Im sorry Maddie...I left to protect you' 'Im sorry Lake...i didnt mean to leave all those months...i did it to protect you..' 'Im sorry Hermia.... I didnt think- I did it to protect you..' " she said rolling her eyes

"I know you do...but still...."River said crouchngdown next to her

 

"People need to learn it doesn't work." Adam sighed. "I'd never try that, I mean leaving someone really isn't going to work. But I can kind of see why they did it, I mean can you imagine how much of a shake up that would be? 'Hey, you know my new girlfriend, my darling daughter? Yeah, she's a werewolf. And so are all her family, except her cousins. Because they're vampires'."

"Yeah, when you say it like that you just sound like a crazy b*astard."

"I've always looked out for myself, it's just not how I am to go 'f*ck it, you look after me now'." She sighed.

 

"But once the kid's here....everything will go back to normal for you."


"I"I know....But..."

 

"Not really, because no matter what one of us is going to have to protect it and therefore hang back. Which will probably be me, and you know it."

"I guess there's not really an easy way to tell someone that."

 

"You think I wont protect it? that'll leave you to do it? didnt I say the kid wont have a moment with out me?..."


she nodded


""why dont you go get changed? you look tired ,Adam and Raye can stay the night...just in case more vampire's show up."

 

"I meant that with how our lives seem to go there will come a point where we have to choose who stays with the kid to look after it and who goes into the fight."

"Thank you." Raye smiled.

"It's for the best, I'll call your parents just to let them know what's going on."

 

"Oh..."he said looking worried "Do you...feel any regrett about this baby?" he,himself had been totaly jazzed about it.

"Come on...I have Pajama's that will fit you Raye....we can find something of River's for Adam..".[FONT]


"Ah...Elly..you do know Adam sleeps in a differet room right?"

Elena went red "Obviously dad..."

 

"No, of course not." Hermia chuckled slightly. "It just means I'm going to have to change my lifestyle a lot, but that's what happens when you have kids."

"I didn't expect anything else." Adam nodded. He was actually quite grateful to have to sleep in a different room, it would just be awkward being in the same room as Elena and Raye to sleep.

 

Elena turned and led the way up stairs

he smiled

 

"I'd kiss you, but I still feel sick." Hermia giggled slightly as she took another sip from the glass.

Raye and Adam both followed their friend upstairs.

 

he chuckled


Elena went into her room,opened the top drawer and pulled out the over sized t-shirt and bottoms that were once her brothers,but she wore them in the winter,then she pulled out two pairs of girlier Pj's hand a set to Raye and giving Adam the boy's clothes

 

"I should probably go to bed." She sighed, not wanting to move from her comfort spot on the floor.

"Thanks Elly." Adam smiled.

 

He nodded,standing up " I could carry you if you want"he grinned

she she smiled back

 

"Hmm," Hermia said with a slightly smug smile spreading over her face. "I wouldn't say no."

"I'll go get changed in your bathroom." He said, leaving the room.

Raye plopped herself down on the floor and started to try and repair her shoe. "Stupid Adam..."
