Hey everyone! Since I got many hits on "There's Always A Tomorrow" I figured I should post this up too. Eternity is a mixture of random moment between Vlad and Mina as said in the summery. Some are cute, others are random, and others are just good. Some are new moments you will not remember from the story because they were never mentioned. This one, for instance, is mentions by Mina on her last day of school. But not in depth.
These short drabbles go back and forth from Vlad to Mina's point of view. And also you may remember some moments yet we visit them here with more depth and meaning. This is because "Eternity" is all as if they are remembering it all and telling you about it without holding back. Bare and open. Fun, fun, huh?
Well I will stop talking just for you to read this alright? Here you all are, and I better get reviews for this!
Disclaimer: I do not own Vladimir Tod, Night of the Living Dead, Dracula, Twilight, The Birds, or Somewhere Over the Rainbow. They are all owned by their respected owners. I do own There's Always A Tomorrow, Mina Elizabeth Lovett, and all her actions and thoughts.
Enjoy!
Over The Rainbow
"Eh Mina?" I turned around and smiled at Henry.
"Yeah?"
"Vlad's coming over and he is bringing a bunch of movies. You know what that means? Movie Marathon! Are you in?" He grinned his usual grin. I smiled wider and jumped up.
"Hell yeah! Where and when?"
"Tonight, Vlad's on his way. And we are going to be using sleeping bags in the game room. You can too, unless you want to come back up here after. It's your choice. But he's spending the night."
"I'll stay down there too I guess." I started to get my stuff ready as Henry walked out of my room. I stopped at the window and saw Vlad walking up the porch. I smiled and went to my mirror. I made sure I looked okay and hurried down the stairs. Henry was already opening the door for Vlad to come in.
"Hey Henry, what's up Mina?" I blushed and slowly started to sidewalk into the game room.
"Oh, I'm just fine. I mean good. I am good! Are you good? I'm good." I blabbed and then hurried into the room. I slapped my forehead with my right hand. "Idiot."
I started to move all of the random junk away from the middle of the room and TV. Soon both boys come in and sit down. Vlad started to spread out and list the movies that he brought.
"Alright I got these movies. Night of the Living Dead, Dracula, Twilight, and The Birds." Vlad told us.
After making popcorn, and getting soda and setting up all of our sleeping bags, pillows and blankets we started the movies. The movies were good and we took brakes in between for the bathroom, more food, or anything else. It was late at night by the time we finished watching them all. I was amazed that we watched them all in one day!
When the credits of the last movie started to roll by I feel down on my back.
"Wow, that was… interesting…" I muttered my eyes wide. "Birds are evil now." Henry and Vlad laughed.
"I liked it."
"Well, Henry, you would!" I joked, Vlad laughed. "I liked the Twilight one. It was so cute!" Both boys stare at me blankly. "What I am a girl! I have the define right to find those kind of movies cute! I want a vampire to like me." I sighed and picked up the DVD cover. I smiled at the picture of the two lead characters. Edward Cullen and Bella Swan.
Henry started to laugh uncontrollably. He was laughing so hard he fell on his side next to me after slapping Vlad. He held his gut and was even about to actually cry.
"What? I wouldn't mind to have a vampire boy friend like Edward." He laughed harder.
"I'm just going to go get a drink." Vlad grumbled calmly, irritated, and stood to leave the game room.
"Oh come on Vlad! Don't run away from it!" Henry gasped through his giggling.
"I don't even want to know." I shook my head disappointed at the retardedness of my cousin. And yes, retardedness is a word if it involves my cousin. Vlad soon came back and lay down in his sleeping bag. Henry sat up, now finished with his laughing fit.
"So now what do you all want to do?" Henry asked. I shrugged and took a sip of my soda.
"I don't know. We could play a game or something." Vlad suggested. Henry sat up straight and grinned wickedly.
"Great idea! Let's play Truth or Dare!" I chocked on my drink and started to try and pump it out of my chest.
"I thou- I thought that was a girl game!" I chocked out. "I mean I haven't been to many slumber parties because I moved so much. But even I know that that's a girl game."
"I hate that game Henry." Vlad agreed with me.
"Actually guys play it too. And so what Vlad? Come on it might be fun!"
I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Fine, I'm in." Henry grinned wider and turned to Vlad. Vlad shook in shame and slowly nodded. "Okay, who's going first?"
"First, we make the rules. Once you choose either truth or dare you can't change okay? And you cannot pass a dare or truth. Agreed?" I thought twice about it but agreed anyway, so did Vlad. "Great! I'll go first!"
"I'm warning you, I'm a truth kinda person." I added, he nodded and continued.
"Well you first, cousin. Truth or Dare?"
"Truth." I sighed, might as well right? I instantly regretted doing so. Henry smiled wickedly, I saw a strong hint of mischief in his eyes. "I'm scared."
"Have you ever kissed a guy?"
The question was short, fast. And yet it caught me off guard. I expected him to say something truly embarrassing, yet he asked em that. This one question dumbfounded me and I stared stupidly at him.
"I…Well, no. I have never kissed a guy." I answered slowly and simply. He grinned wider. "Why do you need to know?" I asked, he ignored me.
"Well it's your turn. Ask me or Vlad."
"You." I answered, wanted revenge. "Truth or dare?"
"Dare." He held his hands behind his head in a laid back position.
"Stand on your head and sing 'Over the Rainbow' for two minutes." He went serious then agreed. He went to the bare wall and started to stand on his head. He wobbled for a while before he steadied himself. "Start singing."
"Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high. There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby. Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue. And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true. Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me. Where troubles melt like lemon drops away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me. Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly. Birds fly over the rainbow. Why then, oh why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow why, oh why can't I?"
I was laughing my head off along with Vlad. Henry was so red in the face he looked like we was going to explode. He finally fell to the floor as he hit the last pathetic note and crawled back to us. Vlad and I were still chuckling as he held his head, waiting for it to lose some blood.
"That was good Mina." Vlad chuckled one more time after placing his hand on my shoulder.
I tensed at his touch and almost felt like crying when he pulled away. I blushed madly, redder than Henry was. I attempted to look at him but I ended up looking back down and back to Henry after I saw he was watching me too.
"Okay I guess my turn again. Vlad; truth or dare?"
"Dare. Do your worst." He challenged my cousin, he shouldn't have done that. I saw the evil flash back into Henry's eyes and he flashed the grin once again.
"Kiss Mina."
Two words escaped his evil mouth. I was frozen still in shock and I couldn't breath. After what seemed like ages I found my voice.
"No!" I protested. "Henry, don't make him to that!" I slapped him on the head.
"Nope, you can't refuse a dare! He has to do it. Go on Vlad, kiss Mina."
"I am not going to kiss her, Henry. It's not fair if she has no say in the matter." I nodded and crossed my arms. "See?"
"Oh come on Mina! It's for a dare. A little peck on the lips never hurt anyone." Henry insisted. I was as red as an apple and I kept flashing my eyes back and forth from Henry to Vlad. "Do it or I will tell Mom that you snuck out that one night to go to the movies."
"I went with you!" I snapped back. He smiled, knowing that when you tell my aunt something, she trusts the first version she hears. I was fuming. "Fine." I spoke through gritted teeth. "If you want to go with the dare and kiss me Vlad, do it now."
Amazingly, I looked him right in the eyes without a blush. I was proud of myself for my small showing of bravery. Because to be honest if Vlad were to kiss me I don't think I would be able to stop. I was praying against the odds that he would somehow get out of it. Vlad met my eyes and I almost looked away but decided to stay firm. He sighed as if in defeat.
"Alright." He sighed again and met my eyes and held them. Even if I wanted to look away I couldn't. He slowly started to lean toward me. I held still and I watched him come merely inches away. The pull and attraction I had since I met Vlad increased as he moved every spec closer to me.
I felt my lips part slightly as he continued to come toward me. Now merely an inch away I felt my eyes slowly start to close as his did as well. He continued to move forward until I could feel his breath on my lips; cool and sweet. Yet just as I was close enough to feel the coolness of his lips just specs away from mine a door opened.
My aunt bursts open the door. I flew to the other side of the room, away from Vlad. I saw Vlad had done the exact same thing, and was staring at me. I looked at my aunt, trying not to look at him as my face grew hot.
"It's late, you three. Get to bed." She ordered and closed the door. All was dead silent when she was gone. I felt my eyes stay glued on Vlad's as Henry looked back and forth as if watching a tennis match. I bit my lip and scampered into my sleeping bag.
"Mina…" I heard Henry whine. I slowly zipped my sleeping bag closed.
I ignored him as I tried to make my face stop being a giant fresh tomato. I silently thought of what would have happened if my aunt hadn't burst in. Would he have still kissed me? Would he even have liked it? Would it have been a real kiss or just a peck? Would I have kissed him back, or even have let him go? Then what would have Henry done?
In the darkness of my warm sleeping bag I slowly fell asleep as I fingered my lips. Wondering how they would feel with Vlad's lips pressed against them.
