82: Victor

It's been a few days since we decided to all live there. Charlie had already started building houses. I learned a couple of things since this move has happened; one, Charlie and Delilah are a couple hundred years old, Delilah being nine hundred years older. During this time, Charlie had learned most house building trades, had dabled in bartending, tattooing, extreme sports, and so many more that he just won't tell me. Delilah was involved in a gang rather recently, and she only got out of it due to the help of Charlie and that that's how they had met.

Jules is a much younger vampire, only 200 years or so, Rye was the one who changed her, but I don't know much more than that. Those two are very secretive about their pasts and their old coven. Whenever i ask, they always change the subject, so I've simply just dropped the thought all together out of respect.

Every night here, we get to have a little sleepover, and the caregivers struggle to get us all to sleep at a reasonable time. Daddy still does a lot of work every day getting papers from Reggie every day. He still likes to check on us to see how we are mostly Delilah and I as he knew us the most. Ezra keeps arguing with Dada every night about going back to the pack, Dada says that Victor will be coming here today at some point. To take him back, the war was successful, and the rouges had slowly backed off completely within a week. So now all the wolves that were staying with us get to go back to their pack. Ezra seems excited yet dreadful that Victor was coming back.

"Please let me stay, Joshie!! I'll be really good, I won't cause trouble!" Ezra pleads once again on his knees this time sadness writes all over his face. "Please! I have no friends there, they all hate me, please let me stay here!" He was on the verge of tears, I was sitting on daddy's lap while this was happening, he wasn't letting me get down knowing I'd plead to Dada too, I want Ezra to stay I like him.

"We've had this conversation a million times, Ezra. I have no control over whether you stay or leave. It's up to the alpha." He reasons trying to help Ezra up

"I don't wanna go back!" He huffs, crossing his arms and puffing his cheeks.

"What's happening here?" A voice asks from the door. My eyes guide up towards the sound, noticing Victor's tall frame standing in the doorway. Ezra jumped off his knees and ran to Victor, screaming his name, throwing himself into a hug.

"VIKKY!!!" Ezra cried, Victor hugged him back, one arm covering his back, the other laced into his hair as Ezra sobbed. Victor looked much different than before. There were a couple of scars on his face and a few bandages on his arms and shoulder.

"Tough fight?" Dada asks, walking behind Daddy and I. Victor only gave a grunt, obviously not wanting to talk about it.

"Why is he crying?" He asked, motioning towards the crying boy in his arms that held on tight to his shirt. On one of the first nights that we were at the cabin, I had talked to Ezra outside in his little tent about Victor. He had admitted that he had little feelings for him. Told me some stories that he and Victor had been in together and that he didn't think he felt the same, so he had just kept his feelings to himself, he thinks that Victor only hangs around him out of pity that the other wolves don't want to be around him for whatever mean reasons they have.

"He doesn't want to go back to the pack." Daddy says, not looking up from his paperwork he wore these silly little square glasses that I don't even think he needs, I'm pretty sure from my reasurch that vampires all have perfect sight, he just likes to wear them sometimes, they have a really pretty detailed frames so I loke to play with them when he gets in these moments.

"Why don't you want to go back to the pack, Ezz?" Vick pushing away from Ezra to see his face.

"No one likes me there, all my friends are here but Josh is being a meanie and not letting me stay wif my fwends." He pouted, crossing his arms across his chest.

"Like I said, it isn't up to me, nor is it up to Vick, you have to talk to the Alpha, I'm sure if you asked him then he'll let you Ezzy." Dada sighs as he plays with my hair, scratching my scalp gently.

"I am here to collect you, Ezzy. I can come with you to talk to dad, I wanted to talk to you about something anyway. We can discuss it on the way. I missed you, you little rascal." Ezra blushed as Victor ruffled his hair with a small dilemma on his face. Victor looked up at Dada, and Dada gave him a thumbs up. I know Dada had been sending Vick letters about something. He gives them to Reggie when he stops by with daddy's papers. Sometimes, he gets Ezra to write some for him, too. The ones Ezra gets back, he keeps under his pillow. We got another little bed for him while he stayed here it was much more comfy than outside on some leaves. Ezzy doesn't seem to mind, though.

"Fine. But if he doesn't let me, I'm blaming you for taking me." He pouts. I slide my way out of Daddy's hold and run over to give him a massive hug.

"I want you to come back, Ezzy!! I already miss you." I pout. We've become close friends really fast, and I know it'll be so different if he wasn't allowed to stay.

"I haven't even left Georgie, I still have to pack my stuff, so we still have time!" He giggles, grabbing my hand and pulling me outside to his tent. "Uou stay here Vicky, I have to talk to Georgie privately,  you're not allowed to listen." He spat as he ran outside me in tow.

Once we got to his tent, he looked around, making sure no one was around. He pulled me down onto his bed, crossing his legs as he sat down with me.

"What do you think he has to talk to me about?" He spoke so quickly that I could barely process what he had said. "Do you think it's bad?" He looked scared.

"He said he missed you." I state recalling the actions between him and Vicky. "And when he said he had to talk bout somfin he looked at Dada who gave him a fumbs up. So it's pobly good thing." I give him a smile, and a small thumbs up myself. "It'll be okay. An if you no like what he say, you come back an I hide you so daddy and Dada no find you an you don have to go back!"

"Good plan. Where would I hide, though?" He asked, seeming to ease at my encouragement. "There's not many places to go." I place my finger to my chin as I think for a moment.

"Umm, Daddy busy, so he won notice anyfing Dada could doe. So I distact him ebery day. And Jules and lilah will stay quiet bout it and distack dere mummy an daddy. Fool pwoof pwan." I explain.

"So I stay in here, and you sneak out every day so we play?" He asked and j confirmed with a nod. "I like that plan. Wanna help me pack?" He asks, and I nod.

"I go get bag from inside!" I ran out of the tent and into the house to grab a bag from Daddy, Dada, and I cupboard before running back. We packed all his things in a matter of minuets, only a couple of clothes and toys and the letters he received from Victor.

Soon, lilah and Jules joined us in the tent, a common play area for us. They came in with sad looks on their face.

"We're gonna miss you, Ezra!" Lilah burst into tears. "I never thought I'd be friends with a wolf." She cries out, hugging Ezra. Jules joined in, hugging both of them. I joined in on the other side, leaving Ezra in the middle.

"We brought gifts!" Jules breaks the hug first to give Ezra a wrapped gift. I guess that's where they went this morning. Lilah also had a gift. I felt bad that I didn't have anything to give him.

"We also got one from georgie. He didn't know we were doing this. We wanted you two to hang out for longer." Lilah stated, pulling out an extra gift. Handing it to him. Ezra had tears falling down his face.

"You guys are the bestest. Thank you so much!" He opened the first one from Jules. It was a little wolf plushy. It was the same colour as Ezra when he's transformed. He showed us his wolf form when we were all curious, with dadas' permission, of course, we were all amazed to see it for the first time he was a pretty light brown colour with deep round brown eyes, the colour of daddy's coffee in the mornings. Next, lilahs was next. It was four necklaces, all puzzle pieces that make up a heart with our names on it with a crystal attached to each necklace.

"So we're all connected somehow, I made sure it was good quality so that they will last forever. And I made sure it wasn't gold. I know you don't like gold jewellery." She smiles as she takes the one with her name, Jules took hers, and I took mine before helping Ezra clip his on. Ezras tears grew, and I gave him the one Jules and lilah brought on behalf of me. He opened it it was a small canvas with pictures that we had all taken over ezras' time staying here. Lilah had a small polariod camera, and when we found it, we used it so much when we had all stayed together. They had taken those photos and stuck them all on a black canvas with little doodles with hearts and words of friendship and names written on it along with dates of the pictures.

"Now you're stuck with our faces forever." Jules smiled.

"Thank you guys so much." Ezra cried out, holding his presents close to his chest. "Yous are my bestest friends ever, the most amazing friends I've had in a long time." He sobs, we all hug him again, knowing we all needed it. Whether he comes back or not, we are gonna miss him. He was so energetic and brought a whole new aura to the atmosphere around us, he taught us many things And would always fight on our side when daddy, Dada or the others tried to make us do things we didn't want to do, like sleep, or eat dinner instead of just having desert first.  He has a great imagination and always brings a twist to our games of pretend. He was always there, and even when he and Delilah fought over silly things, he would always make it better somehow. No matter how long he's gone for, we already missed him.

"Well miss you, Ezzy!!!" Jules cries as Victor enters the tent, seeing the small crying festival that was happening.

"He isn't dying, guys. He will most likely be back in a few days at most." We all scream for him to get out. How dare he interrupt us as we were saying goodbye. He places his hands in the air in surrender and backs away from the tent mumbling something as he leaves.

When we had all finished crying over Ezra leaving, we hopped out of the tent all the caregivers, and Victor, were sitting on the porch of the cabin, having a cup of coffee or whatever they're having.

"Are we good to go now, Ezzy?" Victor asked. I ran to dadas' side, tears still threatening to leave my eyes. Ezra gave a small nod, drying his tears with the back of his jumper, that I still think he's crazy for wearing in summer. But he says it makes him feel better when he wears it. "Okay. Let's go."

"Bye guys!! I'll write letters!!!" We know we have phones and each others numbers, but signals are pretty bad out here, so we prefer letters. Also, they're more dramatic, and we're all for the drama of life. We all wave goodbye to him, followed by sniffles and a few sobs.

"Come on guys, I'll make some hot chocolate yous can drink with some cookies anf watch some shows." Charlie offers as we all agree walking inside the house and curling up on the lounge as we wait for our treats as we pick something to watch on the TV. It felt like something was missing, and I already wanted Ezra back.
