To Remember
Chapter 6: “To Remember”
Jacques took her up a flight of stairs and to the right. Even with the lights on in the hallway, it was very dark…
He stopped at the first door to their right and opened the door. “This is your room.”
When Tempest stepped inside, it was even more darker until the light came on. When she turned to say goodnight, she found Jacques in her room… ‘Why is he in here?’ She couldn’t help but to think.
Jacques just stared at her for the longest time, showing no emotion. It was starting to get her really nervous. ‘Why the HELL is he starring at me for!?’
Jacques finally blinked when he realized he was starring. “Well you get some rest Tempest.” He smiled at her and closed the door as he left the room.
“That was weird.” Tempest whispered, kind of hoping he heard so he’d stop being so weird but also not wanting him to know that’s what she wanted.
Once Tempest finally calmed down enough, she decided to go to bed… “What I really need is a nice bath but I’ll take that when I wake up.”
When she got to the bed, she sat down and took off her boots and leg-stockings. She stood up and took off her skirt and skirt thing. Before crawling into bed though, she took off her cuff bracelets, arm sleeve, necklace and nose chain. She pulled the covers over her, only wearing her shirt and underwear…
As soon as her head hit the pillow, she was out. What she didn’t know was Jacques was sitting in front of her door, taking watch or at least that’s what he would admit it was…
_________________She had a dream___________________
She was in Julian’s kitchen, sitting at the table with a bowl of rice. While she was eating, Jacques came in from the other side.
When he came in, they smiled at each other. “Julian said that we can have this house to ourselves all night.”
“What’s that suppose to mean?” Tempest asked.
Jacques smiled more and walked up to her. “It means this.” He said as he leaned down and kissed her passionately.
________________________________________________
Tempest woke up in a flash and looked around her. “Holy shit that was weird. Why would I dream that?” she asked out loud.
She got out of bed and opened the only window in the room to find it was sunset already… “Well time to find a bathroom for a shower.” She grabbed her closes, got dressed a little, and opened the door.
When she opened the door, she found a sleeping Jacques on the floor. She smiled. She walked farther down the hall, opening doors along the way until she found the bathroom.
Just before she walked in Julian came up. “Oh Tempest, are you going to take a shower?”
“Yes, if that’s okay.” Tempest answered.
“Of course. There’s a robe in there. Once you take your closes off put it on and hand me your closes.” Julian explained.
“Oh you don’t have to.” She responded.
“I know. I want to.” Julian answered.
“Well okay then.” Tempest said smiling and closing the door. Inside the bathroom was like any normal bathroom with a glass shower door. The décor was in blue, grey and white.
Tempest quickly changed and had the robe on when she reopened the door. There was Julian with a laundry basket. Tempest laid her closes into it and smiled. “thanks for all of this, really.”
“It’s no problem. It’s nice to have company again, I missed it. Plus I worry about Jacques when I don’t see him in a while.” Julian answered smiling back at her and turning, walking down the hall. When she closed the door she noted that Jacques wasn’t asleep by the bedroom door anymore… ‘Julian most have waken him…’
Once she was done taking her shower she put the robe back on and opened the door to find her now clean closes in front of the door. She smiled, picking up her closes and closing the bathroom door again.
Once she was completely dressed and found a brush to brush her hair, she walked out of the bathroom heading for her room.
She went into the bedroom to get her boots and jewelry to find Jacques in there. “Oh I just came in to get my stuff.” He was at the window, looking out as she walked to the bed and put on her boots and jewelry.
“Tempest are you afraid of me?” Jacques asked, still looking out the window.
“Well yeah kind of. I mean you hardly talk and when you do it’s in a commanding tone. Also you hardly smile but when you do it’s as if forced.” Tempest explained.
“I’m sorry for all of that it’s just I don’t know how to act around you… I very ever smile anymore really. That’s one of the drawbacks to being immortal, you get tired of life sometimes…” Jacques explained.
“Julian still smiles, why can’t you?” Tempest asked back, sitting at the foot of the bed now.
Jacques sighed. “Julian has a happy personality unlike me… I had to grow up really fast for my brother and sisters. Not to mention Julian is in love.”
“With my aunt, right?” tempest asked.
“Yes.” Jacques answered.
She smiled at him and walked up to him. Jacques turned to look at her. “I think I know what you need to smile again.” She hugged him in a bear hug, her whole body against his.”
Jacques blinked in surprise then smiled and hugged her back. “Thanks. I guess I did need that.” They both closed their eyes…
‘Damn it fells so right when I hug him and he smells good too…’ Tempest thought to herself.
After a while they finally broke a part. “We better go find Julian before he comes looking for us. Besides I know you have questions for him.” Tempest nodded and with that they both walked out without a word.
They found Julian outside in the back. It looked like it was about to rain. Jacques seemed to tense up when they got closer to Julian for some odd reason.
“I’m ready to answer your questions now Tempest. Jacques calm down, no-one would come here, no-one knows it exists.” Julian said not even turning to look at them.
“You want to start your answers here?” Jacques asked.
“Yes. I can’t think of a better place to start.” Julian answered, finally turning around with a sad smile. Tempest was confused now…
When Julian moved out of the way Tempest was shocked. The backyard was a cemetery?!
“This is only known by myself, Jacques, his brother and sisters, your aunt, and now you. It’s a place to remember, to never forget… I would have one for your mother but I don’t know what she looked like. They were on the run.” Julian explained, nodding to Jacques.
Jacques took Tempest by the arm to a statue of a beautiful woman in a long grand dress and long hair. “This was your grandmother.”
Below the statue it read… ‘Queen Victoria beloved mother and queen 1709-1991’. It started to sprinkle now…
“She died the year I was born?” Tempest asked.
“Yes. Right after your parents. She confronted her husband and he punished her for trying to kill him. She suffered for it… Are you sure you want to know?” Julian explained then asked.
Tempest nodded yes.
“After she tried to kill him he had her sent to a special chamber… she was burned alive by the sun…” Julian explained.
“that is why your aunt is afraid to disobey him. If he can do that to his wife, what would he do to her?” Jacques explained also.
Julian turned her around to another statue. This statue was of a man with a very long jacket on… she looked at the writing. ‘Prince Darius beloved brother father and friend, died as a brave warrior 1804-1991’.
“So… this is what you looked like…” Tempest spoke, tearing up. She noticed she had his nose.
“He was a great vampire and teacher…” Jacques spoke.
Tempest looked to the right. She saw a statue of a man and woman. “Who are they?”
Julian and Jacques looked over. “My parents.” Jacques answered. It read ‘Perseus and Andromeda Dubrinsky’
“Tempest, lets go inside before you catch a cold please.” Julian said, putting his hands on her shoulders and steering her towards the house, Jacques close behind…
Jacques took her up a flight of stairs and to the right. Even with the lights on in the hallway, it was very dark…
He stopped at the first door to their right and opened the door. “This is your room.”
