Cursed- the Sequel

by Londyn Lenz

  Having only my boxers on I grabbed my drink and laid across my extra-large chaise. I looked at the bedroom door because I knew Bella was coming. I could smell and feel her before she was even in my grasp. I chuckled when she used my move and came in as a wolf. Anytime I fuck up or piss her off I would come at her in wolf form. Dogs always softened women up even if they claim to be scared. Walking over to me she shifted back to her normal self and laid on top of me on the chaise. Her curly hair smelled good and her entire thigh was exposed cause me to caress it.

  “I’m sorry baby, I know you’re trying to help me. It’s harder than I thought.” Her chin was in my chest and those golden eyes were looking at me.

  “It’s harder but makes you look at humans different. Almost like you feel sorry for them. They dropped a notch in the food chain when they are around you and they don’t even know it. That’s what has to make you keep your composure. Your stronger, faster and the things you can do are inhumane. You never want to risk our existence or start an apocalypse spread. Even by demanding someone, you still have to make sure no one is in sight to witness it. Times are so much more different then when I was first turned Bella. You all take your phone out and record any and everything. You have to always be careful, if something happens to you Bella.” I stopped and she put her soft hand on the side of my face.

  “I know and I promise to handle things better especially my emotions.”

  “I think you need to go out on your own.” The wrinkles appeared on her forehead.

  “What, why?” I sat up with her still between my legs.

  “I just think it’s best beauty. I can’t keep protecting you so hard and caging you. You know the basics and the dangers on being exposed. It’s like letting go of a child when you take their training wheels off. You’ll be fine.”

  I needed the words I just said to be believable to her and myself. Duke was right though, I had to let Bella do this on her own. I wanted to avoid her having guilt from hurting someone. Her feeding on a male but there was no way around it. Her curiosity would rise more and more with every second. She’d start being sneaky and trying to do things behind my back. As crazy as Robin was, she didn’t teach me shit. I learned everything on my own with no humanity. Bella still has hers intact so everything should be ok.

  “Um are you sure, what about males? I mean Andreas I go crazy when you---”

  “I’ll be fine Bella and so will you.” She sat up and straddled my lap.

  “You’re coming with me to my dad’s tomorrow, right?” I nodded my head yeas while I ripped the slit to her dress up higher. Her entire ass was hanging out now and she had a thong on. Bella was slim with a nice shape and small round ass.

  Nothing stupid big just a nice and full and I loved touching it. Bella started kissing my neck and my fangs popped out. My nails were gripping her ass so hard I drew blood. Bella started grinding more on my lap and sucking on my neck harder. I knew she missed me biting on her and but I was wild out from the last time I hadn’t done it sense. I couldn’t wait till we talked to her dad and we made out trip to Haiti.

  **

  “How are you Mr. Stacks.” We walked in her dad new home after me and Bella had breakfast. When her mom died Mr. Stacks took a trip and then came back to a new surprised home from Bella. She knew him better than I did and said he needed a new beginning. I guess she was right because when he came back to his new home they had an emotional response. I respected him and knew how it felt to lose a wife.

  “I told you to call me Vince. I’ve been well Andreas, you taking care of my daughter right?”

  “Indeed Vince, always.” I looked at Bella smiling and I winked at her. Looking around the house I was glad he was making it his home with his personal touches. Bella knew why I had a soft spot for her dad. When I lost Linda, I soaked in anger and resentment. There was no moving on for me at the time.

  “So what brings you two my way?” He asked when we walked in his living room. I knew this was going to be a lot for my beauty. I decided to sit on the opposite side of the room to give her and her dad a little space.

  “I wanted to talk to you about somethings. The first being mom” Looking at her dad he seemed confused.

  “I have some questions that only she answer. Before she died we talked about her being from Haiti.” His posture changed and he looked at me then back at Andreas. I think he knew more than Bella assumed he did.

  “Sweetheart don’t go messing around with that stuff. Your mom side of the family had some unusual beliefs.”

  “Family? Mom told me her parents died and she was an only child. I later found out that wasn’t true.” He stood up and rubbed his hands on the back of his neck.

  “Dad please, it’s important for you to tell me. There are things that are different with me that I don’t understand”

  “Like what?” He asked her that and I knew this was the moment of truth. I really hope her dad didn’t break her heart. I would be the one who needs to hold my control. Seeing Bella hurt in anyway would tip me over. Her eyes met mine and I gave her a sympathetic expression.

  “I need to know what you know about mom first. Please dad, it’s very important.” Vince leaned against the wall and took a picture of Bella’s mom off the table. Looking at it, he began talking.

  “When I met her, I fell in love instantly. We talked for hours about any and everything. As our relationship grew stronger I noticed she’d daze off. Or roam the house late hours talking to herself. I knew something was wrong but I didn’t want to see her with flaws. My mama, your grandmother, came to visit. Her and your mom hit it off, but she was acting strange. The second night while your grandmother slept I asked you mom to be honest with me.” His eyes watered then he continued talking.

  “When she told me about her gift, the visions and how she uses it. I believed her without a doubt.” His voice cracked. “But when she told me my dad was attached to my mom and needed closure to cross over. I damn near fell out on the floor in front of her. You see your granddad died of a gunshot to the head. Suicide a year before I met her.

  Or at least that’s what me and grandmother thought. Turns out he was cheating on my mother with someone who was married. Husband found out and killed him. He couldn’t cross over until the truth came out and he had our forgiveness. Once we told my mother your mom let us talk to my dad. There was no doubt I was with the woman I was supposed to marry.” He looked at Bella and put the picture back.

  “Then we had you and you had those same golden eyes as your mother. I knew you would have the same abilities she did. I feared for you at first but you mamas assured me you would never been in danger. It was in her blood, the supernatural. The only thing I know is her parents are still alive in Cite Soleil, Haiti. Your mom does not get along with them, I don’t know why. But when you were born her mother called her. Which was strange because she hadn’t spoken to them since she was eighteen. Witchcraft and some deep stuff that your mom wanted to break free from. So she lied to you about them being dead.” Damn, that was more then we both were expecting.

  “Damn. Excuse my language dad I just uh, I wasn’t expecting that.” She stood up and walked over to her dad. “I know you may object, but I have to go to Haiti.”

  “Sweetheart----”

  “I won’t be alone, Andreas will be with me but I need to go.”

  “Why, tell me what you need to know and I may have some answers for you.” Bella shook her head no.

  “I promise you won’t daddy. It’s more than just visions and my willing to talk to the dead. I…… It’s more to it.”

  “Like what?” They were quiet for a second. “Annabella please, I have no one left but you. I need to know if you go to Haiti you will come back in one piece. Why now do you need to go there?” Me and Bella talked and she said she was telling her dad the truth. I knew she was scared but this was something that I couldn’t interfere on.

  “I’ve just been having dreams and I need to know what they mean. I won’t be alone and I promise
to be careful.” He nodded his head and told her he would be right back as he walked out the room. Going up his stairs I looked at Bella.

  “You ok beauty?” I used my speed and rushed to her caressing her face.

  “Yea I’m fine. I---I just couldn’t tell him, he looks so worried and I didn’t want to pile more on him.” Kissing and hugging her I calmed her down.

  “It’s ok Bella, I understand. You told him just enough.” Her dad walked downstairs with a shoebox.

  “Here you go sweetheart. Your mom kept these things no matter where we moved.” Bella opened the box and it was some cloths in there. Like from a quilt or maybe an article of clothing. Three beaded necklaces, an antique pocket watch, some letters and three photos.”

  “Holy shit.” I mumbled low. The first picture was a black couple with three little girls. The second was a picture of just the couple. The final picture was Robin, Bella’s mom and the younger sister as teenagers.

  “You can keep it and I hope it helps you sweetheart.” Bella closed the box up and smiled at her dad.

  “Thank you so much daddy. I promise to be careful and keep you updated.” They embraced and we left to my Rolls Royce. I drove sometimes but majority of the time I like to have a driver. Today was one of those days. Me and Bella were in the back and she had both of her sexy legs in my lap.

  “This pocket watch is real gold. It looks like something is inside but its hard to open.” She was about to bang it against the door but I told her to give it to me.

  “How the hell did you open that so easily?” She chuckled and asked as I gave it back to her.

  “I’m older and stronger beauty. What’s inside?” She turned it to me and it was the face of a clock with a name in cursive.

  “Prud’homme. That’s Robin’s last name, this must have belonged to your grandfather.” She grabbed one of the letters out.

  “Looks like they wrote my mama a few times. I wonder if the address is still the same. Have you ever been to Haiti?” I was rubbing her smooth legs.

  “I haven’t. Haiti, China and Angola are the three countries I have never been to.” Her sexy smile beamed at me.

  “Wow, your hundreds of years old and I still can be your first at something.” We shared a laugh.

  “When your ready book the flight and we can leave.”

  “Ok, after the grand opening of Spoken I’ll make the arrangements. Are you nervous what we will find out?” That was an honest question.

  “Not really, I mean we have an eternity together. As long as you get some completeness and everything you need then I’m fine. What about you?” She starred off for a minute.

  “I’m nervous about finding out more about my family. The last time we did this, we found the truth out about my mom and your family. I don’t want to see my mom in a new light that will paint her as a bad person. I’ve never met my grandparents and don’t know what to expect. I’m just glad you’re coming with me.” Using her foot, she pulled me towards her and we kissed.

  “I love you beauty, I’ll go anywhere you go.”

  “I love you too Andreas.”

  “I feel like we are both cheating on Andreas and Duke.”

  “We are not cheating, we’re exploring a situation in close range for---”

  “Girllll bye! We’ve been lying about where we are and stalking. Don’t try to cute this up.” Bella joked and I waved her off. What she said was true, I had her lying with me, sneaking around and going on steak outs as well.

  “Why don’t you just talk to her. Explain who you are and that you would like to get to know them.”

  “Because Bella I don’t know how she will react. I don’t want to scare her off or have her thinking I’m a weirdo.”

  We were in my BMW parked across the street from the house. I know y’all are wondering what’s up so let me fill you in. Before I was changed my parents and I had a complex relationship. They were so stuck in their ways about how they viewed the world. In a nutshell, they were some racists bigots. Strong beliefs that all black people were wild animals, Muslims were terrorist and all Asian people were good at math.

  Imagine how they felt when me and my brother, God rest his soul, were nothing like them. No matter how hard they tried, we didn’t view the world that way. Or at least I assumed we didn’t. On my 21st birthday my dad told me who I truly was. A vampire slayer. I looked at him like hew as crazy until he took me to a graveyard on a late night and showed me a vampire in the flesh. That was when my training began, and he told me the real way my brother died.

  Slayed by a vampire who by the way were only black people. My father changed my brother overnight with how he saw the world. He would have had me to if I wasn’t in love with not only a black man. But what I learned later was also a vampire. Duke was my heart and before I knew what he really was, I loved him. I assumed my biggest obstacle would be telling my parents that I had a strong, sexy, successful man who I was marrying one day.

  But when I found out he was a vampire, I knew my family would never accept him. Not only that but my father would want me to kill him or he would himself. I couldn’t have that so after I introduced them to him and was basically disowned, I shut the door on any hopes of us being a family. Duke told me the truth about how my parents died and although I loved them. They would have killed him and even me as soon as they found out Duke turned me.

  That leads us to today, Duke told me about the woman who my dad was having an affair with. A black woman at that, after all the talk he did about hating them. When he died, his entire estate went to her. My grandparents fought her in court tooth and nail but the documents were signed and sealed. I didn’t care about any of that, I just wanted to meet my little brother.

  He was all the family I had left and I wanted a relationship with him. His mother’s name was Liv Tassle and her son name was Maurice. I have been watching them for two months. Sometimes Bella will be with me and other times I’ll go alone. I haven’t told Duke mainly because I don’t think he will understand. The type of people my family were, I know Duke wants me just to forget about them, but everyone still needs a family.

  “Look at him, does he look like he’s getting bigger to you?” I smiled and when Bella didn’t answer me I looked at her smiling at me.

  “Faye you love this little boy go talk to his mother. From what we have learned, she’s a good person. Did you forget you can demand her if anything goes wrong?” We both looked back at them.

  “He looks just like my brother did when he was younger. That wild sandy brown curly hair and those big blue eyes.” They were playing in leaves having a good time.

  “I promise to one day say something to her.” I said and Bella gave me that girl bye expression.

  “I’m serious, right now our focus needs to be on the second store and doing interviews tomorrow.” The second location to our store needed a staff and I was excited about the interview process.

  “I’m so ready for that to, such an accomplishment. I have to ask you something?”

  “Ok.”

  “Does Duke let you feed off of males?” I wasn’t expecting that.

  “Well he doesn’t like it but he kind of let’s me do as I crave. I don’t tell him though but I always know he knows because of how he acts.” We both laughed. “He’ll get jealous out the blue and make little side remarks. It’s really cute and sexy to me when he gets like that. Why do you ask?” I gasped “Ooo, is Andreas letting you snack on males now? That is going to be so funny because he will not be able to handle that. You don’t even like him feeding on women.”

  “I don’t but I think we will just have that unspoken rule. Don’t ask don’t tell.” My lips pressed together and I looked at her.

  “Trust me you will always know and so will he. Sometimes you’ll even get short visions of him feeding. It’s happened to me and Duke before.” Bella looked shocked.

  “How did you handle it?”

  “Of course I get pissed, then really sad but eventually
I get over it because it’s our nature. There is nothing regular about being bitten by a vampire. Unless we are turning you, it’s very seductive.” An idea came to mind and I turned towards her more excited.

  “Let’s start a tradition. Anytime we know our guy has…… You know with some damn big nose bitches with tits the size of----”

  “Besty come back to us.” Bella laughed and I had got so mad I felt my eyes change and my fangs pop out. I swear any emotion I felt I dove right into it face first. She snapped me out of it and I returned to normal.

  “See, that’s why we need something to help us cope.” We both got quiet for a minute and started thinking. I continued watching Liv and Maurice play in the leaves.

  “I got it. Anytime we know they have done what they done we can have a session. We each get to pick our favorite bottle of wine from Andreas cellar.” We both laughed and high-fived each other.

  “Now you know he loves those vintage bottles of wine.” Shrugging her shoulders and still laughing she said.

  “Yea well that’s his damn problem, not ours. Him and Duke should come up with a tradition. But seriously, I have to learn how to control my emotions. I know Andreas was trying to help but I think this way is better. My poor baby kept trying to fight all my battles. He doesn’t want to see me hurt and have any guilt.”

  “He’s right Bella. My first innocent kill still hurts me deep.” My voice cracked and I tried not to cry. “I couldn’t stop drinking but once I was done and saw the lifeless body. I felt like I was going to throw up. It’s painful girl and you’re more sensitive than me. Just be careful and remember not to eat to get full, just satisfied.” We sat in the car for about ten more minutes and then pulled off. I knew soon or later I would have to tell Duke what I’ve been up to and have a conversation with Liv.
