'I know it's wrong to tease her…but after living in her head and dealing with her and Tara's bullshit for the past twenty-five years…teasing my virgin twin sister, is a petty revenge I can extract guiltlessly…plus, it's not like anything will ever happen between us anyways…we're not Lannisters.' I express as I enter my shower cold water pounds against my hair and scalp, and washing down my back.
"One thing I could have done without was being reborn in Louisiana…god damn it's hot here all the time it seems…" I groan as a new yorker at heart getting used to the south's weather still hasn't happened yet.
"Hey, Jace…that vampire woman…Isabella…I think you should ask her out, you've never really been interested in anyone before…for anything other than sticking your thing in them like Jason, but last night, I saw you show the real you someone who's full of love and gentleness, I saw you care for and protect someone the way you protect and care for Tara and I…and the only reason you protect Tara is because she's like a sister to you…because of the way she'd try to protect me." Sookie says while leaning her back against my bathroom door.
"Sookie, she's a vampire…she's an animated corpse…we couldn't have kids, she can't walk in the daylight, and even if I do prefer being awake at night…I can't just change my whole life for her…I have a successful business restoring and modifying classic cars."
"I said you should ask her out on a date…and you bring up having children with her…" Sookie giggles and I bang my head against the shower's tiled walls.
'Drop it Sook, please!' I say to her mentally and begin to actually lather up my hair and body to wash away the dirt and grime of yesterday.
"Fine…but I still think you should ask her out…" Sookie mostly relents but just has to get the last word in both verbally and mentally.
"Hey Jace…?" Sookie's voice is much softer now and I can feel her tentatively leaning against my natural mental wall, as it's one of the few ways to turn off her constantly on telepathy.
"What's wrong Sook?" I ask her while keeping my voice gentle and measured.
"N-nothing, I just wanted to say thank you for healing me…and saving me, I know how much using that part of your abilities…"
"Don't worry about it Sookie, I'd do anything to keep you and our family safe…even from myself…" I reply to Sookie in that same gentle and measured way while murmuring the last bit so that only I could hear it.
"There's a rumor going around that the Rattrays and Millers were killed by the cartel…that's why they were skinned, had their heads cut off and hearts carved from their chests…di-did you kill the Millers too?" Sookie informs me and I arch an eyebrow as I only killed two of four and only did two of three things to those two I killed.
"No Sookie I didn't…Bill or Bella must have…" I reply back to Sookie and flinch at my use of Bella and the affection that afflicts my voice when saying Bella, which is only hammered in by my Twin's knowing giggling.
"You can't fool me or yourself Jace…you fell in love at first sight…I felt it, you know the way you felt when looking at her for the first time, the way you felt…when you were standing in front of her and even when you were walking away…you've never felt anything so intense before towards anyone…and it scares you…to love someone you just met, especially when she's so much stronger, and faster then you and can makes you feel like you're a helpless little lamb…standing in front of the big bad wolf."
"Damnit Sookie, I thought we agreed to drop this, I feel nothing but a primal instinctual fear towards an apex predator designed to seduce, hunt and kill humans!" I shout back in a growly voice.
'There's no way in hell I'm in love with a corpse!' I shout in my mind to reassure myself even as an image of Isabella's smiling face pops into my mind, her beautiful eyes, those plump red lips, her white teeth, her smile…and her big beautiful breasts and curvaceous body.
'Damit stop simping just because she looks like the Isabelle Lightwood actress!' I mentally growl at myself, while getting out of the shower toweling my hair while using telekinesis to gather the drops of moisture from my body. I form a ball of water, open the bathroom door and nail Sookie in the back of the head with said waterball making her scream.
"JACE YOU JERK!" Sookie shouts and her hands suddenly glow like flashlights, but only for a microsecond I expected to get thrown through a wall or burned but nothing else happens and Sookie doesn't seem to notice.
'Hmm, Sookie's fae heritage is awakening further…does this have to do with the direct presence of Bill and Isabella Compton?' I wonder as I toss an extra towel to Sookie who while glaring at me the whole time starts toweling her hair dry.
"You can use the blow dryer and moos or dry shampoo whatever that stuff is in the bathroom…I doubt Dawn will be coming here any time soon…" I mutter feeling somewhat relieved by that fact and a little weird at the fact that I enjoy the fact that Jason, my older brother, is currently getting my sloppy seconds.
"Hmm, good…I don't know how you can be with a woman like her…she sleeps with so many guys…it's disgusting…especially since she sleeps with you and Jason!" Sookie murmurs saltily.
"Heh, a pussy or mouth is better than any hand Sook…maybe you'll learn that someday unless you plan to live your entire life as virginial old maid." I joke lightly but I see real hurt in Sookie's eyes and know I've pushed too far, it's not like Sookie has never wanted to be intimate with someone, it's just being able to hear every thought of a person who you're interested in or is interested in you.
"I'm sorry Sookie." I murmur and hug Sookie who rests her cheek against my chest. I feel a bit of wetness from some tears, making me feel worse so I start stroking Sookie's hair…
"Ouch, hey we swore never to do titty twisters when we were fourteen!" I shout as my twin sister continues to twist my nipples, Sookie being one of…okay the only person my unconscious use of force field lowers for.
"Mmm, I don't know what you're talking about!" Sookie pretends to be an air headed blonde as she releases my sore pecs.
"Retaliation!" I shout and pinch Sookie's nipples which is easy since she's wearing a thin cotton T-shirt without a bra.
"Ahhh, stop!" Sookie cries out…her cry is completely Sus as her stop comes a bit too long after the initial cry.
"That's what you get for breaking our sacred covenant, dear sister." I tease with a smirk on my face as I walk over to my dresser, and Sookie yanks on my towel making it slide off my body, looking over my shoulder I see her flushed face, as she protects her breasts her right arm and holds my towel with her left hand.
'She's still feeling the effects of me healing her last night…that's weird it shouldn't have lasted this long…' I internally express while noticing her heavy breathing and eyes glued to my toned glutes.
"Hey, I know we shared a room…and pretty much our thoughts for most of our lives…but if you keep looking at me like that people are gonna get the wrong idea about us…" I joke hoping to snap Sookie out of it.
"They all think we do it anyways." Sookie murmurs and walks over to my bed and just falls onto her back…with a defeated sigh…after I hit on a sore spot, I thought Sookie has long since gotten past.
"Yeah, sorry Sook…I forgot, though us always being…so calm around each other even when naked…didn't help those rumors any…"
"We shared a womb…you're the only one who's head I can't enter unless you allow me in…of course you're the only person I feel at peace around…it's not my fault you're a smelly, stinky man slut…who couldn't keep it in his pants nor didn't tell me to leave the room while you stuck your dirty thing into those dirty girls!"
I can't help but laugh at Sookie's tangent, "I think most of those girls who were comfortable with you being there wanted some lesbian action…" I joke which makes Sookie whimper and cover her eyes with her forearm.
"Most did…others just wanted to watch the freak twins…fuck!" Sookie mutters a curse, surprising me as it is a very rare occurrence that Sooki curses…in fact the only time I've actually heard her curse…is in the privacy of our mental conversations.
"Sookie, look at me!" I grunt making Sookie roll over onto her side and look at me thankfully I have jeans on now.
"You aren't a freak, there are others out there like us, and many more things out there than just Vampires, don't ever let them label you or control the way you feel about yourself through those labels…" I tell Sookie firmly and stare into her misty blue eyes until she nods in understanding.
"Will you finally tell me what we are…I know you found someone like us when you went to Vegas…"
"I know what you are…I'm still unsure of what I am…and no…it's safer for you and those we love if you don't know and can't reveal it."
"Please…I won't bring up Bella ever again, pinky promise!" Sookie does her once adorable puppy eyes and pouty lips trick.
'With a vampire stalking her…she probably should know…and know the dangers of drinking V.' I release a sigh and walk over to the bed and sit down on the edge, Sookie wiggles over and hugs me around my waist.
"We have Fae blood in our veins, Fae are magically powerful beings who can planeswalk…some have our abilities and more while others are more beast like…Sookie you and I have to be extra careful around Vampires because our blood is like a drug to them, and once they get a taste they'll either drink us dry until we're dead or become possessive of us to the point they'd kill everyone we know just so they can keep us to themselves.
Unless you're about to die do not ever consume vampire blood, as not only does it permanently allow a vampire to feel your emotions and track you but it also works like an addictive aphrodisiac, that makes you crave the vampire who's blood you drank to an obsessive level…they can even enter your dream and inter warp your view of reality of your blood is freshly in your system." I find myself explaining and feel Sookie's hug grow tighter.
"I don't think you should ask out Miss Compton…anymore." Sookie finally murmurs against my back, "Your ability to heal…has a similar effect to Vampire blood doesn't it…it's part of the reason you hate it…other than you can also absorb the life of someone if you don't concentrate enough."
"Yeah…my healing ability kinda acts like…an aphrodisiac when used to heal a person…like vampire blood…" I mutter as I cover Sookie's hands with my own, "Sorry I used it on you without your permission…and I'm sorry that you're feeling things towards me you'd rather not feel and find disgusting…" Sookie doesn't reply to my apology.
"I'm happy you're always there to protect me or avenge me Jace...but you need to stop punishing yourself for what happened back then... you're not a monster...it wasn't your fault, there wasn't anything you could do...the doctors told Gran...that no matter what happened she wouldn't survive the night..." Sookie finally murmurs after awhile, the feelings of old guilt and shame hit me but it's eased by Sookie's reassurance and hug growing tigther.
"Thanks Sook...but it doesn't change the way I feel..."
"I know..."
