Chapter 126 - One Hundred And Twenty-six : Master
Trevor winced and immediately brought the back of his hand to shield his face when his angry mom snapped the curtains open , giving the morning sun the permission to hit him square in the face.
He groaned and instinctively turned to the other side of his bed only to discover another body was occupying that position ; a head full of blonde silky strands and a petite body - definitely Rex.
How had he sneaked into his bed ? did Rex sleep together with him last night? was he that tired to notice his younger brother had crept into his bed?
"At the count of three the both of you should stand to your feet without delay ! " Their mother boomed but no one stirred, it was as if none of them heard her command at all.
"One..... One and a half..... two.....two and a half.... "
At the mention of a two and a half, Trevor groaned and rose to his feet while bringing Rex who was staggering on his feet alongside him. Though their mom doesn't punish them always but whenever she does, it's quite unpredictable and harsh.
If not for the fact that he found Rex on his bed, Trevor would've thought everything that happened yesterday was a dream. It was hard to believe that supernatural creatures do exist!
" Don't tell me you both stayed up late at night when you two knew clearly today was a school day ?" their mom began her scolding and he grimaced , how was he supposed to know that their secret rendezvous would continue deep into the night.
"You know what? brush up, wash up and meet me downstairs for breakfast and then you can tell me what the hell you both did last night. You have just thirty minutes ! " Jenny ordered and left them to attend to her duties.
Rex was one agile and alert kid but whenever his eyelids dare shut , he could even sleep through an earthquake.
No amount of vigorous shaking nor dragging woke Rex and Trevor ended up brushing and washing him while asleep.
He dumped Rex on the dinning chair and went ahead to stretch his aching body before taking a seat amidst his mom scorching glare.
As if he predicted what would happen, Trevor shifted Rex's food to the side just as his head came down hard on the table, and barely missed squashing his face into his meal.
The drama caused his mom to lift a questioning brow " So tell me, what happened last night ? "
Trevor swallowed, one wrong move and he's toasted " We had a brotherly bond last night "
Jenny's eyes narrowed down on him suspiciously " I care for the details " she emphasized.
" We played video games late into the night " Trevor came up with what he thought would convince her without exposing any loopholes. Rex was a gaming addict so that part of his lie didn't need an investigation.
" And? " She still prodded
"I gave him some brotherly advice "
" And? "
" We talked about girls "
" Figures " was all his mom said and thankfully, did not press further on the Issue.
What a relief.
It was no secret to his family that he has not ever had a girlfriend talk more a first kiss; he could hardly approach a girl.
It was not that he isn't interested , moreover he could chat and have a good time with the opposite sex online but when it comes to a face-to-face encounter, he just stutters, panic and make a fool of himself.
So he resigned himself to fate while taking love advice from his uncertified siblings. Talking of siblings, where was Lia?
Trevor looked around just to be sure and asked " Where is my sister Lia? She's always an early bird "
Jenny sighed and massaged her temple " She came up with a fever. I'll have to call the school and let them know she wouldn't be able to make it today " said his mother.
Trevor's mouth twitched, he would be taking the bus to school today : his sister would not be able to drive and he wasn't aged enough to own a driving license.
"I'll take Rex to school, you should go already " Jenny checked the watch on her wrist " You're running late already "
Trevor stood and grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl and then in the guise of dropping a kiss on Rex's head, whispered into his ear
"Remember the code "
Then he pulled away, kissed his mom goodbye, grabbed his backpack and walked out of the house.
But the moment he closed the door and turned around, he was shocked to discover his sister's clingy friend standing right in front of him.
" You scared me " Trevor told him with a hand on his chest.
But surprisingly, the chatterbox Ben didn't reply instead kept staring at him in a way that made the hairs on his skin stand on edge.
But Trevor decided not to read meaning into it after all, Ben was a human and would do nothing to him; he wasn't a vampire like the principal.
He guessed his mother must have informed him about Lia's illness since the two of them were inseparable like conjoined twins ; you can't find one without the other .
He pointed towards the door " Are you here to see Lia , she's.... " Trevor trailed off as soon as he saw Ben's eyes glow an eerie green.
But before he could scream for help, he found himself falling on his knees as he said out loud
" Master, your servant is here to serve you "
