Trio Lunch Date

Demetri dusted off Scott and they both set the watches.

"Ready?”

Scott shook his head. "Ready Primus-sir.”

Folding his arms to his chest, Demetri sighed. "I apologize for picking you up by your head…again and accusing you of sorcery…again. I now understand you are indeed just a vampire and slapping you profusely with my wing was totally uncalled for.”

Scott beamed. "That is much appreciated sir! I hope that we are still on for our trip to the Ikea warehouse! I’ve been dying to show you the new rugs we got in, they would look marvelous in your torture chamber. THEY DON’T STAIN and they scream Demetri- a Primus who slaughters in style.”

Demetri looked at Scott and wanted to throw him out the window. He loved the idea. His feet often grew cold in his torture chamber when he took off his shoes as to not damage them. However, he knew that since he didn’t actually go through with the assault, they were still within the allotted time limit he could endure his friend.

Outside of that, he was truly excited about spending the day looking at furniture and other items with non-sorcerer Scott. It was more than that, he was absolutely giddy and one thing a Primus does not do is become giddy. And because non-sorcerer, but all vampire Scott, evoked that feeling from him, Demetri found himself sliding into anger. Through clenched teeth, he seethed.

"I FUCKING love the idea.”

Scott's smile brightened. "Yay!” He hugged Demetri and the Primus saw red. Releasing him, he looked at his watch. "Five minute warning left of my allotted time before pissing you off Primus-sir!” Demetri sighed a sigh of relief, his face falling hearing Scott’s next words. "Oh! Before I forget, I wanted to let you know I need to cancel our trio lunch date next week. Stacey and I are going home to see my parents.”

Demetri's eyes widened and his voice boomed through the room. "HOW DARE YOU DISAPPOINT YOUR PRIMUS! TRIO LUNCH WITH JERRY AND YOU IS THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY WEEK!”

"But Primus-sir I already talked to Jerry, you two can make it a Duo!”

Demetri grinded his teeth in his mouth, almost cracking them. "Does a duo sound like a trio to you hm friend?” He balled his fist in an attempt to restrain from picking up Scott by his head again. "I should kill you for saddening me you fucking-BLOODY HELL!” He screamed seeing Alexus under his arm. "DON’T DO THAT!”

She glared at him. "STOP THREATENING SCOTT YOU LUNATIC!”

He looked at her in disbelief. "He’s canceling our friendship date and I am not to threaten him! He has hurt my feelings! He has left me in distress!”

"Are you kidding me-you don’t even enjoy-“

He covered her lips. "Dontruinmyfriendshipwithscottwithyourlies.”

"Then apologize.”

He exhaled sharply and turned to Scott who eyes were sad. "I’m sorry friend.”

"And I’m sorry to upset you Primus-sir…how about we do two trio lunches and our Ikea trip the week I return?”

Demetri looked to Alexus trying to figure out how much trouble he would be in if took a page out of her book and slapped Scott with the chandelier. Because as soon as he heard the solution, Demetri was no longer mad. The alarm of his watch went off and his eyes turned red. In a roar so loud, that it made Scott fall to the floor, Demetri shouted.

"I AM MOST PLEASED AT THIS! ENJOY YOUR TRIP AND SAY HELLO TO YOUR ASSUMED WONDERFUL PARENTS FOR ME! NOW REMOVE YOURSELF FROM MY EYES!”

Scott bounced up and down in excitement. "Will do Primus-sir. And I’ll send a calendar invite so you won’t forget as I know how busy you are.”

Alexus grabbed Demetri's hand and pulled him away seeing his eyes bore into his friend as he pictured torturing him on his new no-stain rugs.


Entering the room, everyone saw Kai sitting up on the bed rubbing his neck.

"That was embarrassing as hell I’m sorry.” He said causing Diane to shake her head.

"It was as much to process for you as it is for them.”

Rachel stared at her mother. "You knew this entire time…we had a brother…” Diane nodded sadly and they turned their eyes away from her.

“Please don’t be mad at Diane…it was my fault.” Kai said placing his tongue into his cheek.

Morgan pointed to a book he held tightly. "What’s that?” She heard him inhale sharply and look at Diane for reassurance.

Diane nodded her head, and he handed the book over. He watched as his sister’s eyes widened, as they flipped through the book.

"This is…this is us.”

He smiled small. "Yeah…da-Martin gave me a lot of it.”

Alexus looked up at him. "But some of this is from after he died.”

Kai’s face flushed. "I know it’s probably creepy as hell, but having money kinda makes it easier to keep tabs on people. Of course, I didn’t know about the supernatural part.” He laughed nervously. "But…I just…I don’t know, it kinda helped me feel closer to you.”

Rachel arched her brow. "You don’t even know us.”

“RACHEL!” Diane shouted.

"What?! It’s true. Somebody has to say it. Kai Pierce-“ She rolled her eyes. "Who knew this entire time, it was our Pierce. But you show up at OUR doorstep on the anniversary of OUR dad's death, and you hug us and want to pretend everything is okay.”

He nodded and moved to the side of the bed. "Yeah, you’re right. I’m sorry for intruding. I’m going to go.” He stood and left the book.

Diane grabbed his shoulders. "You.are.not.leaving" She glared at her daughter. "Shame on you. Now you can be upset, but be upset with your father and me. At least give Kai the decency to tell you WHY you don’t know him.”

Rachel blew steam from her nose, and Elijah rubbed her shoulders. "Baby…your father would have wanted that.”

She knew it was true, and looking at her other sister, they were confused as she was, but they didn’t look mad.

"Okay,” She said finally. "I’ll listen but then-“

Kai nodded.

"I’ll leave, you have my word.”
