In which my bubbly and bright vampire boyfriend comes to my rescue. *wipes tear away* My himbo managed to track me down using clues and figuring everything out to come rescue me and his siblings. I am just so proud!

I am fully in love with my stupid hot vampire boyfriend, I swear!

~~~~

I crossed my arms over my chest, trying hard to keep the fear from showing on my face. The two vampires protecting me made me feel a bit better but vamp daddy looked pissed.

"I will not have my spawn defy me." The words came out curiously even and not slurred as his eyes glowed red. He didn't even glance at the two vampires, his entire focus on me. For a brief moment I wondered if it would have been better for me to continue to pretend to be a vampire, at least then he wouldn't be trying to eat me.

"You ruined enough people's lives. Leave her be." The female vampire crossed her arms over her dark red dress that honestly looked fucking gorgeous next to her richly dark skin.

"Stand aside." At the rumbled hiss the male vampire who had his hand on my shoulder, dropped it to stand in front of me fully.

"Fuck that." He let out his own hiss and I became aware that the other vampires were leaning towards vamp daddy, as if they themselves were wanting to take a piece out of him. I didn't blame them, he did turn them into vampires without permission during his clearly drunken escapades.

"Defiant children need to be punished." It was hissed out in such a way that the hair on the back of my neck prickled and before I could even see what was happening, the male vampire in front of me had been tossed across the room. I was only vaguely aware that he was caught by two other vampires. The female vampire beside me was shoved into another vampire, who caught her to ensure she stayed on her feet.

There was a heartbeat of time when I made eye contact with might-not-be-as-drunk-as-I-thought vamp dad. Flames seemed to dance in his irises and I felt my own eyes widen before I closed them tightly with a flinch as he leapt towards me. However being body checked by a vampire that wanted to kill me never happened. When I cracked open my eyes, someone had their arm wrapped around vamp dad's throat, effectively putting him in a choke hold.

"Don't touch my fucking girlfriend." With the voice my heart soared in my chest as I watched Jake twisted to the side and bodily throw the alcoholic vampire patriarch out the window in one smooth move.

"Jake!" I threw myself at him, relieved, happy, and surprisingly turned on by how well he had handled the vampire trying to kill me.

He caught me, holding me close and tight to his chest. "You okay? Are you hurt? I was so worried!" He pulled away only to grasp my face and kiss me all over as I laughed and nodded.

"He was gunna kill me but your vampire siblings stood up for me and then you tossed him through the window!" I wrapped my arms around his neck, squeezing him tightly. "Which was fucking hot by the way." I whispered it into his ear and Jake laughed, wrapping his arms around the waist as he spun me around.

"How... how did you come into my lair. I offered you no invitation." Vampire dad's voice filtered through and I was set down and shoved behind Jake quickly. I peeked round him and vamp dad was bleeding from a gash on his head and he limped slightly as he moved away from the destroyed window.

"Open window, no screen is an invitation." Jake muttered it out before puffing himself up. "Who the fuck do you think you are? Fucking gnarly, dude! You kidnapped my girlfriend and then tried to kill her? What the fuck!" His hands clenched into fists and I glanced over at the other vampires and they were watching the interaction with a lot of interest and I didn't miss how their eyes flicked between Jake and I with a bit of disbelief, as if they couldn't believe the fact that I was okay with having a vampire boyfriend.

"Step away from the human. You are an immortal and humans are to be fed upon. They are prey and we are the predators, my son." There was a placating tone in the vampire's voice that made me want to gag.

"Fuck off. You aren't my dad." Jake spat it out, his chest rumbling as he let out a dangerous sounding hiss.

"I understand-"

"No you don't! I love Sammi and I'm not about to let anyone hurt her! I don't care who you think you are and what you did to me. Sammi is the one who took care of me and helped me come to terms with being what you made me. You just bit me and fucked off, it was fucking gnarly, dude. I didn't know anything!" Jake's voice rose and I felt my cheeks heat up quickly. He said he loved me. I felt all giddy inside, like I would melt into a puddle of goo. "Sammi took care of me, she helped teach me how to be a vampire, she gave me a home!" There was a righteous sort of indignation in his voice that made me give him a quick hug from behind, unable to help myself.

"You fucked my life up, dude! I loved the sun, I loved going to the beach, I loved surfing, and you fucked it all up!" Jake's voice shook and I felt for him, I truly did. The irresponsible vampire who had attempted to kill me had ruined not only Jake's life but the lives of everyone else in the room. All because he got a little too drunk and decided to bite someone. Jake grabbed my wrists, holding them tightly but gently as he pulled me closer to his back, his hands shaking. "Sammi's that bit of happy you took away from me, dude. She's my beach, my surfing, my sun. You don't get to tell me to give her up too." At the words I damn near melted, I pressed a kiss between his shoulder blades and hugged him tighter as I pressed my cheek to his back.

"I love you too." How could I not? Jake was just the whole package for me and he loved me back. There was nothing else to do but love him too.

Jake dropped his hands from my wrists and spun around, grasping my face in his hands. "Really?" He sounded so eager and happy that I could do nothing but nod. "Wicked!" He breathed it out before he gave me a searing kiss, pulling me tight to his body. Well as tight to him as the stupid dress I was wearing would allow.

"Wait... vampires can- Vampires can date humans?" At the voice Jake pulled away from the kiss, leaving me to sway towards him as he looked at the other vampire. I followed his gaze and landed on a rather attractive looking African American man, dressed in dark blue duds, looking sharp as hell. I was fairly positive it was the same guy who said that vamp daddy needed rehab, the thought made me smirk. "You can date them?" He was looking between Jake and I and Jake nodded.

"Hell yah!" He practically vibrated with excitement right as vamp daddy let out an aggressive sounding growl/hiss.

"No! Mortals live and they die! You cannot-"

"Will you shut the hell up?" The African American vampire damn near snarled it out. "I have one bombass woman by the name of Valentina who was down to be with me a few weeks ago and I want to know where that is going to go especially if I can date a human." He looked excited and I smiled at him.

"You can't!" There was a note of hysteria to drunk vampire dad.

"That woman told me she was willing to sell her soul to be with me. I'm not going to turn that down because if that freaky, witchy lady wanted me as a human, then I'm sure she would be down with me as a vampire." He pulled off his, what looked to be crushed velvet suit jacket and threw it onto the table. "I'm out."

"Do you have somewhere to go afterwards?" The words came out before I could stop them. "You guys can all come to my apartment, its somewhat vampire safe. At least until we can get you a job or another place." All eyes were on me and I could see at least some heavy relief in numerous pairs of them. I liked that. I could only imagine how fucked over they were after being turned into a vampire.

"They can work with me!" At Jake's excited words I turned to look at him with a smile.

"You are so right!" Laritzia would be absolutely thrilled to hear that there were like eight other employees that could count as fantastically as Jake did.

"Wait, you have access to a job?" The African American woman crossed her arms over her chest. "Cause I lost mine after this jackass turned me into a vampire!" She jerked her thumb at vamp dad, who was looking like he was ready to have an aneurysm.

"You do not need to work. I have amassed wealth-"

"No one cares, old man!" She hissed it at him and I swallowed a laugh.

"Yes, my boss is starting a midnight inventory business. Vampires are really good at counting and it kind of fell into our laps, didn't it?" I looked at Jake and he nodded, kissing my cheek.

"Sammi has been fucking wickedly awesome to me since I crawled into her bedroom window." He brushed his nose against mine. "It's a wicked job, so if any of you want to come do it, I mean Sammi can set you up." He looked so damn proud of me that I nearly melted on the damn spot.

The female vampire smiled at me. "Count me in. My name is Amaya, by the way. Not like this drunken asshole ever asked." She made a face and I held out my hand towards her.

"Pleased to meet you, Amaya." At the greeting she took my hand so carefully it was nearly painful to watch and barely gave it a shake before she dropped it quickly. "Don't worry, you will get used to your strength." I gave her a reassuring smile as I said it.

Jake wrapped his arms back around me. "You can also turn into a bat. I found out and did when I was trying to rescue you." He sounded so damn proud of himself that I couldn't do anything but feel proud of him as well.

"That's amazing, Jake. I'm proud of you!" I hugged him tightly and he hugged me back. He gave the best hugs, that was the god's honest truth. "You ready to go home?" He nodded and grasped my hand. "Everyone else who wants to come, can come with us." I looked over Jake's vampire siblings and collectively they started to pile towards us.

"You can't just- We are a family! We are supposed to be a family!" There was a frantic note to vamp dad's voice and I turned in Jake's arms.

"Listen, dude." I held up my hand as he looked at me, the blood lazily moving down his face to stain his white collar. "Kidnapping people and trying to force them into a weird family dynamic is wrong and it won't help you with your angsty self hate. Get some therapy and maybe, just maybe, they might want to have something to do with you. Until then, work on yourself." I stared at him hard. "Fix yourself first." I spat it out. I still wasn't happy with being kidnapped and then almost murdered by him.

"I'm with her." Amaya reached out and slipped her arm through mine. "Get therapy." There was a chorus of approvals to that statement and I smiled as we started to walk towards the door.

"I'm going to repeat myself, go to rehab." The African American vampire who was excited to date a human grinned at me and Jake. "My name is Darius. I'll come with you to your place before I try to find Valentina." He looked so damn excited about it that I grinned back at him.

"Sounds good! Sammi and I will be glad to have all of you stay with us." Jake wrapped his arm around my back and kissed my cheek.

I smiled at him and then at Amaya. "Let's go somewhere and ditch these dresses." I lifted the hem of mine and Amaya nodded in agreement.

"I was going to ask about that but I don't think I wanna know." Jake said it with a small chuckle before he leaned down towards me. "The top parts makes your breasts look wicked though." He nipped at my ear and I pressed my lips together to keep from shivering.

"We will discuss this later." I whispered it to him and all of us left the room, leaving vamp dad to either better himself, or drink himself into his coffin in the morning. I didn't particularly care. Jake loved me and I had found more employees for Laritzia and I was positive I had made some new friends. And honestly, that was pretty much the best scenario to come out of getting kidnapped.

I thought I would end up dead.

Score one for me!
