- The Lessens
Erik's hand was on my shoulder. Still curled up on my seat the light filled my eyes. I threw my head onto the seat and groaned.
"Shit... I fell asleep didn't I!"
He smiled and giggled. "You had some interesting dreams as well, anyway I thought we vampires didn't get tired easily."
I cupped my hands around my face, now that was embarrassing! "I guess I'm just an exception then!"
"Anyway we're here, I'm sorry we didn't get to talk about our plans... Sven and Fred are waiting."
***
The airport was packed, and Sven wasn't in the best of moods. Fred walked to the left of me I asked him which gate we were going to. He just laughed...
What happened earlier was still bugging me, why had Erik acted like that after it was HIM who kissed ME. I had to ask him later no matter how awkward it could be.
As soon as me walked into the airport lounge Sven grabbed my arm, that horrible feeling came back. I flinched. He let go immediately.
"Sorry, I didn't realise I was hurting you. We've got ten minuets, you need to change."
I looked at him quite confused. I followed him anyway. Once we were in the toilets he told me to undress. I gave him an unamused look. He got the hint.
"I've been around ten times longer than you Darling, what do you think I haven't seen?"
I frowned at his comment but didn't say anything.
He unzipped my bag and took out an ankle length burgundy velvet dress. One thing especially caught my eye, the label. 'Coco Chanel 1962'
"Put this on." His command was stern. Was he kidding, where was he taking me! To a wedding?
I looked at him and thought back to what Erik had said that night. 'Do what Sven tells you to or you'll have fucking hell to pay.' With this fresh In my mind I changed into the garment. It was gorgeous, the neckline came all the way up and the back dipped right down almost to my bottom. There was no surprise I felt so uncomfortable. Sven smiled and threw a long black cardigan at me and a small square bag, I opened it to find different foundations and mascaras. I did a quick fix and put everything back into my hold all.
"Try not to draw too much attention once you get outside." He gave me a cheeky smile and signalled towards the door, telling me to wait outside.
The others were already changed. They both wore more casual style suits than my dress, but we all looked a right group of odd bods. Fred didn't even seem to notice me, what was it with him. Erik smiled and gave me a slight nod. I didn't quite know what he had meant by it.
Sven came out in the same suit as the others, I was not looking forward to walking out into the lobby. I wasn't one for attention seeking. I always liked to be the girl who was almost invisible.
I took some courage to walk through the rest of the airport and Erik had obviously sensed this, he took my hand and whispered to me,
"Stop worrying, you look stunning."
I mouthed the words 'thank you' in his direction as we walked down some stairs onto the runway, this was all getting very weird and then it all made sense. About two hundred meters down the run was a large private plane, four people stood at the top of the stairs I guessed they were the lessens...
