Ancient Love CH 3.2

 

“Well...Well...Well” I heard from three familiar people. “It's a small world never thought we’d run into you here dude” said Zac.

“What can I say it’s a small area dude.” I responded with a fist pump while getting up from the ground.

“Who’s this pretty lady Eric?” Beck asked.

“Everyone this is my co-worker and girlfriend Yasmine”

            “GIRLFRIEND!!!” they all shouted. Girlfriend, please tell me I didn't just say that out loud and worst of all to my friends and Yasmine. I know me and Yaz didn't have a title yet, so I didn't know what we were as of now. I looked at Yasmine but all she did was smile as she walked towards my friends.

“Hey I’m Yasmine but you parrots can call me Yaz.”

            “I like her already.” responded Zoe

“Nice to meet you, Angel, I’m Zoe this is my twin bro Zac and our follower Beck.”

            “HEY!” shouted Beck in a joking tone.

Yasmine laughed at their humor and asked if they wanted to join us for some fruit. They all said yes of course...would I ever get a break from them...I guess not.

            We all ate the juicy fruit and my friends of course kept asking Yaz questions which she had no problem answering, but in return, she asked them questions too. Soon afterward we began playing the famous game Truth or Dare with an empty water bottle.

“Alright I’ll spin first because I’m the coolest.” said Zoe as she spun the bottle. It spanned until it landed on Zac. “I pick truth of course.” he said because we knew that when Zoe gave dares they were super hard and sometimes embarrassing.

            “You're no fun bro, but fine. Is it true that you still wet the bed at night?” she asked.

“Sis really!”. For the first time, he began to blush with embarrassment as he answered the question. “No, I don’t.” Zac answered, but we all knew he was lying. We all laughed as the game continued and finally the bottle was on Yaz.

            “Alrighty let the games begin (she spun it) and would you look at that.” she pointed at me and for the first time, I realized Zoe wasn't the craziest one when it came to this game.

…...

            “Hey I’m here man, give me the clown suit” said a tall-slim brown hair man.

“It’s about time this family has been waiting almost half an hour for your arrival now put on the costume and get this party started!” screamed the park manager. I walked up to the clown performer and asked him a question. This question is all thanks to Yaz and her stupid dare.

“I dare you to perform as the clown for this kid’s bday party and if you choose not to do it I’ll tell everyone what was on that sandwich you ate earlier today.” Yaz stated without fear or hesitation, and what sucks the most is I didn't even get to choose if I wanted truth or dare.

            “Hey, can I take your place and perform for the kids I promise I won't tell your boss anything about this event.” I asked. The man shrugged and tossed the suit to me and I began to think ‘man this guy should be fired’. I changed into the suit and the make-up director put on my face for me. I looked out from behind the curtains to see my friends and Yaz waiting for me to perform my big number.

“Man, what a load of bull-” I was cut off by the speaker in the park.

            “Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, please welcome….Krusty the Clown”. Yep you guessed it the clown from The Simpsons, he was a big hit for little kids; I didn’t quite like the show though. It was my time to shine and I was not looking forward to this at all, as I walked on stage the kids began to cheer, so I thought why not impress them a bit.

“Hey, boys and girls who is the lucky kid here tonight?” I asked in a funny accent. They all screamed “AUSTIN”. I walked over to Austin a short black hair boy and pulled him towards the stage.

“How old are you sonny?”

“Six.” he said. I smiled seeing such a nice kid in front of me and remembering the times when I was just like him. So just for him I put this stupid dare behind me and decided to perform just for him. I knew exactly what to do because being alive for 100 years you learn a few new things along the way.

            I picked up some balloons and blew them into something awesome a big fat tiger; almost life-size to be exact. Austin's face was filled with joy and the crowd was amazed, but I was not done yet. I juggled a few balls in my hands but thanks to having supernatural abilities the balls were now rotating in the air in front of me. The kids were amazed, and the best part of the act was when I threw pies filled with whipped cream in everyone's face even the parents and even my friends and Yaz. Thanks to that everyone was throwing pies at each other as I escaped behind a tree to change.

…...

    The sun was setting on this crazy day -finally- and when my friends came to face me after the pie incident all they did was laugh. “Good show, man, I never would have thought you do it though” explained Beck.

“Well hey I am a daredevil you know” I said in a joking tone.

“Good job man” said Yaz walking over to me and my friends. “Thanks.” I answered while smirking. This was one crazy day as we ended it by saying our goodbyes and me walking Yaz home. “This was a pretty good date huh?” she said. Date… “I never knew this was a date.” I said in a flippant matter. She nudged my arm as the full moon shined brightly on us again. I took her hands in mine.

“But yeah it was the most fun I have had in years.”. I looked into her amber eyes and felt a spark for the first time which I think she felt too. I leaned in to kiss her not knowing that we were being watched.

 I leaned in to kiss her until a rustle in the trees occurred. We both turned around with caution as we smelt the air.

“I smell two guys both with a rose scent” Yaz said. “Me too” I answered, which meant they were vampires. Both guys came out from beneath the trees looking menacing as ever. They both were tall about my height, one with grey hair and the other red, wearing red and grey armor with red headbands.

“Ha, we finally got you two alone…nice clown performance by the way.” said the man with red hair.

“Who are you?” I asked.

            “That’s none of your concern.” answered the man with gray hair as they came closer. “Let’s just say we're here to kill you right here and right now, no questions asked” responded the redhead.

“Well our lives are our concerns you leprechaun!” yelled Yaz.

“Maybe we shouldn’t argue Yaz let’s just take the lead on this situation.” I winked at her, hoping she got the message.

“You're right Eric let’s just take the lead then” she replied. Both our eyes glowed as we knew it was fighting time. I ran toward the redhead as Yaz took care of the grey head. He and I were both fasts with each second filled with blasts of punches and kicks, but thanks to my dad’s training I easily flipped him to the ground with ease. Until he tripped me “Your good kid but not good enough to beat-”. I kicked him in the gut as he was talking and I was getting sick of him by the minute.

“Enough holding back.” I said as I ran him into a thick brick wall of an abandoned house. I picked up a brick and hanged it over his head as I picked him up by the collar.

“Tell me who’d send you...or die!” I threatened. He looked at me and smiled.

 “Just like he described you...you’re a fighter son, so watch your back...that’s all I have to say.” he stated. With that, I choose to read his mind before doing my deed but all I saw was a blurry figure giving them orders to kill us, but I could not see who it was in my vision. I stabbed the brick through his chest, and he turned into ashes.

I checked in on Yaz who was putting on her clothes, still covered in pie, back on, which meant she must have gone wolf mode on him. She walked over to me.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah I’m fine...what about you did you kill him?” I asked.

She pointed towards the tree “Want to see for yourself?”

“No thanks I believe you got the job done. I still wonder who those guys were and why they wanted to kill us. I tried reading his mind but the vision was all blurry which never happened before.”

“I don’t know either, but now we both need to watch our backs or else we’re dog meat.” she explained. I agreed with her as I picked up her basket from the ground. Both are eyes were still glowing as we tried to calm down, but when I hand her the basket a shock occurred and a vision with a woman running and yelling “Thor!” We untouched looking shocked at what we saw but didn’t say a word, maybe she didn’t see the vision maybe it was only me. It was the same dream from this morning, but I wonder what it meant I know it couldn't have been a coincidence. As we reached her block she told me “Sleep with one eye open mister because it would be shameful if I don’t see you Monday at work tomorrow.” I know she was using a joking tone but I could tell she was serious too.

“Don’t worry I’ll be there bright and earlier” as I walked towards her and kissed her on the cheek, looking her in the eyes I couldn't help but rest my head on hers. I lifted my head and told her “I’ll call you tomorrow. Goodnight Yasmine”. I turned and started walking as she responded in the distance “Goodnight boyfriend.”

Boyfriend...now that shocked my night as she walked away.
