Alex P.O.V
Alex woke up and groaned as he wiped the drool from his face and rolled out of the bed onto the floor. He then crawled to the dresser and used it as leverage to stand up. He went to his closet and chose something to wear for the evening. He was bored and he had absolutely no plans tonight, nothing with his family nothing with a friend and nothing to do with his learning since he was caught up for a while. He walked out into the living room and looked around. He noticed his roommate wasn't here right now. He never knew when Trey would be here. Sometimes he could find him held up in his room playing Call of Duty for days at a time. Then there were other times when he wouldn't even come home for days.
Trey was the best friend a guy could ever have. If you needed anything from him he was right there to help out. Alex didn't know what he would do without his friend. He shook his head as he thought of his werewolf best friend. They were the oddest friends, it wasn't a normal thing for a vampire and werewolf's to be friends especially such close friends. It was well known that for a long time werewolf's and vampires fought and argued over everything. They used to hate each other just for the sake of being different, but eventually both realized their struggle was fruitless and in fact dangerous with the ever growing world of humans. So they had an uneasy truce. Basically we will leave you alone you leave us alone. It was shaky, there were a lot of fights for a long time but eventually it slowed down. Now it was almost friendly between the two groups. They didn't go out of their way to be nice to each other but they worked together creating business relations and sort of policing the supernatural world together as they were the two most populated species.
So all though not frowned upon it wasn't normal for the two to be friends. Alex's mom loved Trey, though and she had actually told Alex that it was a wonderful idea for him to make a friend like Trey she said that it might help him as he matured as a vampire to have friends outside the normal scope of things. It would widen his horizons. Alex was glad to have such an accepting mom, she was like a hippie of the vampire world. She was actually a very mature and elegant woman but she held some unconventional beliefs. Alex sometimes thought she was a little too extreme at times, but her money and family ties left her a sometimes strange albeit permanent structure in the regional vampire culture.
Alex yawned and grabbed a bottle from the fridge and stuck it in the microwave. He didn't feel like a fresh meal today he would just have his own version of a microwave meal. He drank the bottle and then grabbed a coat and headed outside. He decided that he would go visit his mom. There was no telling if Trey would be home anytime soon and even if he did come home he might not be up to hanging out since he had been gone two days. No telling how wiped out he was or if he had a hangover or anything. Alex hummed to himself a little as he walked down the sidewalk. Enjoying the crisp chill that was filling the evening air. He didn't live too far from his mother's house and always liked to take the time to enjoy the stroll. It wasn't long before he was there. He walked up to the entrance. He entered the gate, it was very heavy but for a vampire it was no issue. He then walked the few yards it was to the front door. The house itself was closer to a mansion then a regular home.
It was two stories high, and made of a mixture of dark grey and light grey stones, it was very well taken care of and had a look of rustic and modern, the house itself was actually very old. As far as the city was concerned it had been passed down in the family over years, when in actuality it was just his mother's favorite. She had been the one to have it built originally. He used his keys to open the door and entered the foyer. He yelled out for his mom and listened when he didn't hear a response he sighed. He decided to just head up to his room. When he moved out his mom just decided to buy him new stuff for his loft, saying she wanted him to know he always had a home here. He did visit often, especially since he had a class here once a week that taught him about vampire culture. He noticed a bright red envelope sitting on the end table right inside the door. He glanced at it and saw that it was from Dimitri.
Alex picked it up and tried to see it through the light but even with his
advanced sight he couldn't make out the words through the red envelope or the
thick card stock inside. He sighed in frustration, he was really curious to see what
was inside. He wondered if it was a love letter or something. Then he laughed the
thought was ridiculous. They were both rich and had strong social circles, but that
is where their similarities ended. Alex had heard plenty about Dimitri.
He was one of if not, the most popular vampire in at least this state. Though most would say the nation, he had strong ties. He had a large inner circle a large amount of money and strong views. He was striving for power all the time, and his largest stand was how we treated humans but the man was known for throwing interesting bashes and balls. More elegant than a simple party but apparently interesting and stunning all the same. Alex had always wanted to see one but he knew he had a long way to go before he would ever be invited. He waved the envelope around as he tried to decide if he should open it or not.
He then decided to open it he hoped his mom wouldn't be to upset with him. He looked at the card inside the envelope. It was an invitation and he laughed at the irony.
"Dearest Abby its been too long, as you may be aware my annual winter gathering is coming up on December 13th . I would like to formally invite you and one other to join us this year I hope you can make it this time sincerely, Dimitri."
Alex re read it and then smiled his mom was single, and he couldn't think of a single reason she couldn't take him with her. He was actually really excited. Here he thought he would have to wait for one heck maybe even two hundred years to get a chance to visit one of these parties, but now if he could talk his mom into it he would be attending one at the young age of 28. He headed up the stairs to go into his room. He was going to get online on his computer while he waited for his mother to return. He heard someone speaking as he started up the stairs and so he started to move slowly. He didn't want to be heard, and since his mom didn't answer him when he yelled earlier it shouldn't be her, and for as long as he could remember his mom always gave the servants the weekend off. He came closer to the voices and relaxed when he heard his mother's voice and another man's voice also. He paused to listen.
"Abigal the prophecy points to her being revealed soon, at least according to most scholars."
"I know, but it doesn't make complete sense to anyone and I don't know where else to look or who else to ask Phillip."
"Well it seems like the perfect time to find her. I have heard rumors that there will be a war coming, one that she could help stop from happening or at least decide the outcome for good."
"I know but I think you need to relax some Phillip, we are trying our best."
"Abigal I smell someone. Come out now" Phillip demanded sounding angry. Alex sighed hoping his mom didn't get too mad and decided to play it off by waving the invitation in the air. "Hey mom wasn't sure you were home just heard you in here, I wanted to tell you I want to go."
Abigal gave her son a contemplative glance and took the card from his hand. She read it and looked at her son. "Did you really open this without asking me first?" He looked at her sheepishly and was silent trying not to catch his mom's gaze knowing what he would see there. He then noticed some papers sitting on the table. "What's that?" He motioned His mom looked at it picked it up put it in a book and back on the several shelves lining the library they were standing in.
"So this is why you interrupted me and your Uncle Phillip, so you could let me know you opened my mail and now you want me to take you to this ball?" Alex took in his mother's posture. She was a little bit on the short side at around 5'3 and a half inches. She wasn't the most imposing figure, usually. She had light blue eyes that always seemed to hold some sort of mirth in them. She had platinum blonde hair which was short coming right to the end of her face but curly as could be, they were beautiful shining ringlets. She was standing facing towards Alex. Her pale small hand rested on her slightly jutted out hip. Alex noticed how she was wearing one of the gifts he had got for her. He had gotten her a bronze ring that had a flame made of onyx garnet and rubies. He thought it was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen when he was 10 years old. He knew that his mommy had to have it.
Now that he was older he realized that though a stunning ring it didn't specifically match his mother's style. She wore a subtle yet high end fashion sort of wardrobe. Not much of it stood out or screamed for attention but blended so well and elegantly that it made his mother look stunning without having the bright and whimsical colors some used to grab attention. Even right now she was wearing a pair of white jeans and a high end white tank top. It was simple but against her pale skin and and light colored hair it made her look angelic. She was wearing a simple silver chocker necklace and a turquoise belt that played off the color of her eyes. He was used to his mom but to most she would definitely turn heads.
