Vampires vs. Werewolves Roleplay (The one with twilight charries)
Almost exactly an hour and a half after talking to Zach, Rebecca was knocking on the door at his house.
A tall man dressed in a dark suit answered the door. He shared Zachs Brown eyes and messy brown hair, then when he smiled and said, "You must be Rebecca" it became apparent he shared his smile as well. "I've heard a lot about you,"
"All bad I'm sure," Rebecca smiled jokingly, putting her hand out to shake. "It's nice to meet you Mr. Piers."
"Likewise." Zachs dad said, stepping aside. "Please, come in. I trust you know where the dining room is?"
Rebecca nodded, walking in to the room to see who else was there.
Zach and his mom sat at a table set for six. When they saw her, they both stood, Zach walking towards her with a smile, "Hey, thanks for coming, you look great," he said, greeting her with a hug.
"Thanks," Rebecca smiled, hugging him back. "Happy to come."
"Finally!" Zachs mother said, coming over to hug her as well, "I've been telling this boy to have you over for dinner! He seems to think we'll 'make you uncomfortable'." she said, laughing.
"That's highly unlikely," Rebecca said, laughing as well.
"Mom, that's not what I said." Zach grumbled."Hush honey, and pull out this girl's chair." His mother said.
Zach sighed good-naturedly and pulled out the chair next to where he'd been sitting, offering it to Rebecca.
Rebecca giggled, going over to sit next to him.
Zach sat next to her, and soon the doorbell rang again, and Zachs father went to get it.
Rebecca leaned over to Zach to ask, "So that'll be your..." but she trailed off, not knowing what to call his half-sister that didn't like being called his sister.
"That'll be Caroline." Zach replied.Zachs father returned, followed by a petite blonde woman and another tall man. "Anabel." he said tightly, looking at Sachs mother, the atmosphere in the room going from warm and welcoming to subzero in seconds. "What's the meaning if this?"
Zachs mother refused to meet his father's eyes, "I may have neglected to mention that Caroline would be stopping by to introduce us to her fiance." She said.
"Yeah, mom, that would have been helpful." the blonde woman said, her eyes scanning the room, sliding over Zach as if he weren't even there, before landing on Rebecca. "And who are you?" she asked.
"I'm Rebecca," she introduced herself warmly.
Caroline opened her mouth to ask why she was there, But Zach interrupted, mumbling, "She's my girlfriend." and Caroline immediately looked Rebecca over again, here eyes much more judging. "Oh." she said as she, the man, and Zachs father took their seats.
Rebecca definitely started to feel uncomfortable, but didn't show it.
"So, uh, Caroline dear, is this the fiance you told me about?" Anabel asked.Caroline nodded. "Mom, this is Patrick."
So why does she hate you? Rebecca asked in Zach's head.
I've never quite understood it. Part of the hating me includes refusing to talk to me very much. Zach replied."Well, it's nice to meet you, Patrick, Caroline speaks very warmly about you." Anabel said. Zach scoffed.
"What?" Caroline snapped, looking at Zach for the first time.
"Oh, nothing. I just find it hard to believe you talk warmly about anything. Weren't you fourteen when you kicked that stray puppy, Caroline?" Zach said.
Caroline's eyes narrowed. "I doubt you understood what you saw, you brat. Wasn't that around the time you stupidly jumped off the roof into a kiddie pool and broke your arm?" Zach's eyes narrowed in return.
That probably doesn't help Rebecca suggested, rubbing Zach's arm lightly.
I'm tired of trying to help. Zach said."Now, Caroline." Zach's dad said sternly.
"Oh, that's great Brian." Caroline said sarcastically. "Why didn't you say anything to your son when he called me a puppy kicker?"
"Well, you did kick the puppy. I was on the phone with the owner for an hour." Brian said.
"The damn thing tried to bite me!" Caroline said.
Rebecca sat quietly, deciding it was best if she stayed out of it.
They fell into an uncomfortable silence, and Zach's mom passed around the serving bowls.
"This looks delicious, Mrs. Piers," Rebecca said, scooping food onto her plate.
"Oh, thank you, dear. But looks can be deceiving." Anabel said, smiling."No way, you're cooking's delicious, mom." Zach and Caroline said at the same time. They shot each other surprised looks, then fell silent again.
Rebecca hid a small smile while she ate, glancing between them.
Patrick and Anabel started conversing to fill the awkward silence, small talk, things like the weather where he and Caroline were, his job, a bit about the wedding.
"How did you guys meet?" Rebecca asked curiously, trying to help Anabel spark conversation.
"Why don't you tell her, dear?" Patrick suggested to Caroline, who looked about to protest, but Patrick simply raised an expectant eyebrow and Caroline sighed. "Fine." she said. "I work in the public relations department of the business I work for, and Patrick worked for a partnering company of ours and I went over to their headquarters to discuss some stuff with their marketing department, and we shared an elevator. Nothing that epic."
"Epic meetings are over rated," Rebecca shrugged.
"Well, it might not have been anything from a romance movie or anything, but it was real." Patrick said. "That makes it epic." And for the first time all dinner, Caroline smiled, and despite his grumpy mood, Zach couldn't help but think that he very rarely ever saw her smile while growing up, but that she had a nice smile, their mom's smile. She should smile more.
Then tell her that, Rebecca suggested. Nicely.
Not in a million, billion years. Zach thought. Please refrain from being in my head, love.
Rebecca rolled her eyes, but undid the communication spell.
"How did you guys start dating?" Patrick asked curiously.
"Zach showed me around on my first day here," Rebecca said, opting to leave out the mind control and stealing him from Star parts.
"Nice," Patrick said, then he went back to his dinner.
Rebecca lapsed back into silence, out of things to say.
Once everyone had finished with dinner, Anabel collected the plates, and went to take them into the kitchen."So...how long will you be in town, Caroline?" Brian asked.
"A few weeks. We both got some time off from work, decided this little middle-of-nowhere town would be a good place to start some basic wedding plans and stuff." Caroline replied without really looking at him.
"And you, dad?" Zach asked. "How long will you be in town?"
"As far as I know, I should be here for at least the rest of the summer." Brian replied, and Zach couldn't help the smile that spread across his face.
"Where are you guys staying?" Rebecca asked Caroline.
"Here. Guest room." Caroline replied.
Rebecca nodded. That won't get awkward, she thought.
Anabel brought out a pie for dessert, and served everyone a slice.
"This is amazing," Rebecca said, after taking a bite. "Would you mind giving me the recipe?"
"Oh, uh, I can try. It's really more of a 'add until it tastes good' kind of thing." Anabel said apologetically.
Rebecca laughed a little. "That's how my mom and I cook too," she said. "I don't think I've ever made anything exactly the same way twice."
"I don't know how the hell anyone can teach anyone else how to cook like that." Caroline grumbled."Oh, please dear. If you did it more, and were a little less OCD about it, you'd have gotten the hang of it by now." Anabel said, laughing.
Rebecca tried not to laugh, not wanting to give Caroline any reason not to like her.
Once he'd gotten his hair as manageable as he could, Zach walked downstairs just as his dad walked in.
