A Frightful Dawn Part 2

Part 1

The next morning, Peter woke up with a mouth full of cotton and a headache that felt like he’d been hit by a truck. At first, he couldn’t remember what had happened before he went to sleep, thinking for a moment that he’d simply drank too much and was suffering through his hangover. When he realized he was half lying on top of the body that was in bed with him, his face pressed against their neck, and everything came flooding back to him.

“You’re up” Aro said softly, gently running his fingers through Peters hair “did you sleep well?”

“I...” Peter tried to say something, but his brain felt like mush the moment he tried to articulate how he was feeling “did last night really happen. It wasn’t some kind of fucked up dream?”

“I’m afraid not” Aro sighed, pulling his human closer

“Shit” Peter whispered, feeling a lump forming in his throat

“It’s alright, my dear. You’re safe and she’s at peace now”

Taking a shaky breath Peter swallowed the lump in his throat, breathing deeply until he’d calmed down enough to the point he no longer felt like he was going to break down crying, when his stomach let out a faint growl, Aro chuckling a bit at the embarrassed look that was spreading across his humans face, as he kicked the blankets off of himself, sitting up.

“You stay here and rest” Aro said, gently pushing Peter back onto the mattress “yesterday must have taken quite a toll on you, I’ll take care of it”

Spreading himself out on the bed Peter tried to clear his thoughts and process everything that had happened the previous night. It wasn’t until he smelled the scent of bacon, sausage, and eggs wafting back to him; did he sit up, about to get out of bed when Aro opened the door.

“What’s this?” Peter asked, watching Aro as he walked in carrying a plate of food and a mug of coffee, just as he was about to join the vampires in the other room

“The twins want to make a surprise for you” Aro said, setting the plate and mug on the nightstand

“Really?” Peter asked, grabbing a sausage link “so they’re trapping me in my own room until they’re done?”

“It appears that way” Aro said, taking a seat on the edge of the bed

“So what now?” Peter asked, taking a sip of his coffee

“We’ll have to make due with what’s in this room” Aro said, walking over to the window, opening up the blinds

“What’re you doing?” Peter asked, eyeing the vampire

“It’s so stuffy in your home” Aro said, pulling back the blinds “and I doubt you’ve stepped outside much since I’ve been gone”

“And?”

“Some fresh air will do you good”

“I don’t know” Peter groaned, squinting his eyes at the light as the window was opened and the gentle blow of the wind entered into his room “that breeze does feel nice, though”

“I told you it would do you good” Aro said, smiling, taking a seat on the edge of the bed “you still look tense”

“I’m fine” Peter said, making the continuous effort to untense his muscles

“Darling, I held you all night and there was not a single moment where it didn’t feel like you were going to snap in half” he got off of the bed

“Where’re you going?” Peter asked as the vampire walked over to the bathroom that was attached to his bedroom

“I have an idea on how to help you relax” Aro said, closing the door to the bathroom to keep what he was up to a secret

Peter didn’t think much of the conversation up until he heard the bath water running and smelled candles, that he didn’t own, burning. Rolling out of bed, he eyed the bathroom door suspiciously as he walked over to it, nudging it open with his foot, spotting two lit scented candles, one lavender the other vanilla, sitting on the sink counter as Aro sat on the edge of the tub his arm in the water, mixing in the Epson salt he’d poured into the steaming liquid.

“Where the fuck did you get these candles from?” Peter asked, picking up the lavender one

“I stored them under the sink”

“So you’ve just got a bunch of your shit hidden around my house?”

“I wouldn’t say it’s hidden” Aro said pulling his arm out of the water, drying it off with a towel “they’re just in places you don’t look through or use often”

“What would I find if I investigated?” Peter asked, slipping out of his sleep pants

“Now that would ruin that surprise” Aro said

“Oh really” Peter said stepping into the water “are you getting in?”

“I wasn’t planning to”

“You might as well since we’re trapped in here. Not much else to do”

Letting out a tiny hum Aro began stripping out of his clothing and joined his human, getting settled into the back of the tub.

“So” Peter said, settling back into Aro’s chest “how’d your thing back in Volterra go?”

“Well enough” Aro sighed, resting his head against the back of the tub “the vampire in question turned out to have been falsely accused so we let her go free and thankfully the one that had pointed the fingers a her was still in the city so it wasn’t that tedious to track her down”

Once the water started to cool down the two got out of the tub, neither one bothering to get re-dressed, Aro just made sure that the bedroom door was locked so neither of the twins walked in and saw them. Grabbing the remote for the small T.V. in his room Peter flopped back into his bed, relaxing back against the headboard, as he flipped through the channels until he found something that would make some suitable background noise. As he was looking for something Aro joined Peter in bed, having grabbed a book from the small pile he kept on the dresser, and got settled in. Leaning over the human rested his head on Aro’s shoulder, reading along with him, completely ignoring the T.V.

“I’ve been meaning to ask you something” Peter said

“What is it, Vincent?” Aro asked

“Are vampires the only creatures of myth that exist?”

“No” Aro said, turning a page in his book “there are also werewolves, lycans, half human hybrids, different varieties of vampiric beings, witches, a large majority of sea monsters…”

Peter interrupted him “Can you elaborate on the vampire one”

“Well, there are some of us that have the ability to shapeshift, some feed off of fragments of souls, and others possess a virus that will keep them from dying of natural causes so long as they consume human blood”

“Are ghosts real?”

“Hm, I’m not sure about humans, but a witch’s spirit would be able to survive outside of their mortal coil, especially a particularly powerful or stubborn one”

“What about Native American myths?”

“I’m not sure, before I met you I rarely visited America. Sulpicia, on the other hand has, and she knows someone who can answer your questions if you’re really curious”

“Why would she be over here more than you?”

“She... befriended a witch and her magic makes it easy for her to visit”

“Why’d you pause?” Peter asked

“Because their relationship is a bit more complex than a simple friendship”

Satisfied with the answers he was given Peter went back to quietly reading along with Aro until there was a knock on the door. Getting out of the bed the two got dressed, Peter slipping into a pair of his sleep pants and Aro into the T-shirt he wore under his dress shirt and his dress pants. Opening the bedroom door Peter saw Alec standing on the other side.

“We’re done” Alec said with an excited smile on his face, grabbing hold of Peters arm “come on” he started pulling Peter out of the bedroom

Stepping out to the living room Peter saw that Jane had commandeered the bar and Alec the coffee table as they worked on their projects and on the ledge of his fireplace sat the Tupperware container that the twins had put Mrs. Vincent's ashes into. It had been wrapped in rubber bands to make sure it was extra secure to keep it shut. On the coffee table sat multiple paper mache bowls of varying sizes with matching tops next to them and on the bar Jane had apparently found a packet of air dry clay and used it to create a mold around one of Peters empty Midori bottles, keeping the glass inside of it as it dried so it kept its shape, using another melon liqueur bottle to make the top with. Upon seeing what the twins had been up to Peter couldn’t help but laugh.

“What the hell is this?” Peter asked, picking up one of Alecs bowls

“We didn’t want to leave your mom's ashes in a plastic container so we made urns” Alec said

“These are lovely, Alec” Aro said, looking over the bowls”but I don’t believe that paper mache is the best choice for an urn”

“I told you” Jane said

“What about your thing?” Alec asked “how you gonna get the bottle out without damaging the clay, smart one?”

“By breaking the glass, dumb one” Jane mocked back

“And making a mess!”

“What about you! You got paper and glue on your face and all over your arms”

“So?”

“I’m sure we can use them in the future” Aro said, placing a hand on Alecs shoulder

“Can I paint yours when it dries?” Alec asked

“Yes”

“You guys didn’t have to do this” Peter said, walking over to the bar to get a closer look at Janes urn

“Well, it didn’t seem right just leave her ashes the way they were” Jane said

“You could’ve. I honestly wasn’t expecting you to even bother keeping them in the first place”

“Nah” The Twins said simultaneously

“How long until it dries?”

“Tomorrow probably” Jane shrugged

“Do you guys need paint?”

“I think so” Alec said

“You wanna go out and get them now?” Peter asked

Glancing at the other the twins agreed, getting up and heading out the front door followed by Peter after he’d grabbed his car keys.
