Arranged Marriage of the darkest kind by satinangel (novels to read for beginners TXT) 📕

Dad would be disappointed in me if I ever did that" Frank shrugged
"You make a compling answer" I smile and shrug
"So what wrathed of my mothers have you bared witness too?" Frank's head snapped to me so quickly I had to catch my breath.
"I don't know what you're talking about" I growled again.
"Stop it with the bloody lying, Hello Lie detector person right here... and if not Frank then what about you Greg?" Greg smiled half heartedly at me through the rear view mirror.
"Well I've been her best friend since High school I've known most of her fury since then..." I pffted at him
"Yeah right... like you know everything about her. Did you know she once burnt herself with a curling iron, through it against the wall and knocked the electricity of for a couple weeks?" I saw the small smile twitch on Gregs face as he glanced over at Mum was just shrugging, as if trying to not get involved with whatever moment me and Greg were having.
"Or how about the fact she never hums until she's hiding something, especially something she's happy about but necessarily other people won't be. Or how about the fact that she swear and curse worse than a 18 rated movie... or How about the fact that she keeps an album of you, Dad, Frank and some other Man in her wardrobe?" Greg smile strained a little at the mention of the photos
"Oh so you didn't know she'd kept them? I wonder if there is more secrets about those photo's than meets the eye" The flash of panick in Mum's eyes that I saw as she checked her appearance in rear view Mirror was clear to me.
The silence dragged on for what felt like weeks when we finally pulled up outside the 'Witches traven' pub.
I climbed out of the car and I saw that there was a few more steps between Mum and Greg as he held open the door to all of us to entered and I heard Greg whisper to Frank who was a few feet behind me 'When you get the chance burn them' And I had the deep sensation that it was the photo's he was talking about.
We took out seat at a booth in the far corner as Mum went and ordered the drinks. The bar keeper seemed almost shocked to see Mum's face, but the distance made me unsure.
"So Jen are you ready to find out just who your Mother really is?" But when I looked around at the 2 men, neither had moved their lips but Frank's voice was so obvious to me I just merely nodded at him, which caused him to blink in surprise.
"You actually heard that?" my face set in confusion.
"Heard what? I thought you said it outloud" Okay it was a lie, but I didn't want to let on that I'd known about my mind connecting ability since like forever. It would seem it would only happen when people where trying to actaully say something to me with their mind. It's different to mind reading because I can only hear things when they actually want to ask me a question with their mind are specifically too scared to ask that very question.
"No I haven't said anything since I left the car... how can you?" Does she really have this ability so early on?

"Okay for one, you're totally freaking me out and for two what ability and what do you mean early on?" Greg cut in and I realised he'd actually been listening with shocked eager eyes and ear this whole time.
"Jen? I want you to listen to me very carefully.. I want you to concentrate on Frank. Think about something you want him to hear, something you don't want to say aloud and then imagine it being going through his skull and into his brain, block out me, block out your mother, block out the nose of the pub just concentrate on Frank" I took a deep breath, gently closed my eyes and the first thing that came to my mind as a concentrated that was my hearing was reaching furthur than it ususally did. I could hear the hussle and bussle of the busy pub on a friday night and then Mum's voice rang in my ear as if she were whispering in my ears.
"I know Mary, I know she's so grown up. Too much like her father though, a little to dis-trusting and a little more independant than I would like..." That's when Frank's voice whispered in my mind
"block her out. concentrate" So I took another deep intake of breath and dispite my wanting to listen to her talk about me and Dad I blocked her out too. I found Frank's face in my mind, I out the rest of him shape around, from his musclar arms to his sweet carefree smile and I smiled to myself as I continued to think the words I wanted to think to him. Over and over again in my mind I repeated Greg and Mum: More to it, Greg and Mum: For too it.

I hadn't realised it had gone through until I heard Frank's laughter in my head
"Well no der captain obvious"

I open my eyes and glare at him.
"No need to get rude about it Frank" Frank glanced over at his Dad almost nervous about what i'd just said. But I noticed it wasn't that it was that now Mum was coming over to the table and seemed to be paying far more attention to me than anyone else.
"What was Frank being rude about honey?" Some deep instinct within me told me not tell her and besides I deserved some secrets of my own or maybe it was Frank whispering 'don't tell her' over and over. I turned to him with a super sweet smile that told him I'd gotten the message and he shrugged in response as he grabbed what again looked like Wine but as soon as the smell hit me I felt a rush of desire to just devour the liquid like I thristy beyond belief. I shifted my eyes as Frank too a sip of the liquid. I knew as I watched him drink it I was losing control of myself.

I'm a V-- what?

Get it away from me, GET IT AWAY

I knew he'd heard me cuz he took it down in 2 quick swigs and then shrugged at Mum as if he really needed it. His hand landed on my shoulder
"Jen you okay?" I looked up from his seat next to me.
"Yea--" He let in a deep inhale of breath
"God Jen you look like crap.." He turned to Mum and Greg
"I'm gonna take Jen outside she's looking a little pale, maybe the alcohol around her is doing her some damage" The understanding in Greg and Mum was far too care free it made my blood boil.
He grabbed my jacket that I'd taken off as I took my seat and wrap it softly around my shoulders as he quickly rushed me out the door and around the side of the pub. I wondered why he'd taken my so far away from anyone's ear shot when he did something so shocking to me I could hardly believe it.

He grabbed something from his pocket and put the blade to his wrist and without a flinch he let the scarlet liquid show to me and just like the 'Wine' the same desire for the liquid from somewhere deep within flashed through to my conscious mind. He held out his wrist
"Here it'll help you feel better.. Besides the more you're around it and smell it you might actually lose control and hurt somebody" I glance up at him with such scared, tear filled eyes that he looked shocked to see me so vunreable.
"Oh Jen honey. It's okay honestly. It's doesn't hurt you or me and besides it's kinda what I'm here for" I slowly pushed him up against the wall, his eyes teasing with flirtation. I rolled my eyes and let my eyes fall on his wrist... I don't know when this ever seemed to make some kind of sense. I mean I should be freaking out, getting him medical help instead I felt stupid for being scared and upset about something that was obvious normal for him.
As soon as my lips touched the liquid I felt this explosion of sensation, all my sense seemed to be enhanced 10 fold so when I felt Frank's other arm wrap around me and pull my closer the tingling I felt on my skin seemed to spread my body like a wild fire.

I don't know how only I drunk his 'blood' for but when I finally let go of his wrist and my weight fell heavy on his chest I could hear him breathing deep as if he'd had just kissed me till he ran out of breath. After a few minutes he lifted my chin to look up at him.
"Feel better?" I nodded and honestly I did, I felt more in control of myself, so much so that if someone aimed a gun at me I'd be able to calm them down and kick it out of there hand before they had time to realise just who they are messing with.
"Did you want to go back?" Frank's voice was a whipser.
"No not yet, can we find a bench to sit down on and talk?" He nodded and lead me back to the front of the pub where a beer bench sat with a froster's unbrella like every other pub did.

We sat opposite each other for a long time before he finally said
"Blood craving is normal you know" I scoffed
"Yeah on what planet?" he bit his lip to stop himself from laughing
"On Planet Earth or at least I think we're on earth... when did Spock arrive?" I let out a quick laugh figuring I should have taken him for a star trek fan.
"He didn't scotty beamed us up" I winked at him and his attempts to hide his laughter failed misably.
"Anyways Jennifer.." I was about to argue but he cut me off "I call you Jennifer cuz that's what your Dad calls you so I felt it a nice way of making you feel like he was around" I grabbed my long sleeved hoodie over my hands and sighed deeply and he took that as a reason to continue.
"You're not human though Jennifer... Do you think you'd be able to read my mind and suck my blood if you were?" Saying them together like that seemed to fix the pieces in my mind and I knew exactly what I was.
"How is it even possible? aren't we meant to not
