Chapter 7
"Why what does it say? " Tommy wondered.
"They are society of Valocks," Merton said.
"And what is a Valock?" He asked confused.
"You know, half Vampire, half Warlocks," he replied.
"Why does that make us doomed?"
"Because Tommy not only are they blood drinking demons of the night, they also practice magic. Well dark magic to be exact," he explained.
"I thought it was witches who practiced magic," Tommy stated.
"They do but so do Warlocks, just a different type of magic."
"So?"
"So they are twice as dangerous than other vampires we have faced," Merton answered.
"There must be a way to take them down. "
"Yeah, let me just try and find something, " Merton said, then turned back to face the computer and started to type.
Just as he was beginning to look someone spoke from behind. The voice was happy, soft and a voice he reconigzed.
"In the library on a Saturday?" Colette asked as she sat down in a seat next Merton.
"You're in the library too," he said clicking off the Web page he was on, fast so that she wouldn't be able to see what he was looking at. She might have thought it was strange.
"I am but I was just returning a book," she said, holding a book up in the air. "What about you, why you here?"
"He's helping me with my assignment," Tommy lied.
"I am?" Merton asked quietly to his best friend.
"You are," he said firmly and nodded trying to get Merton to play along.
"That's right I am," Merton said to Colette.
She questioned this by raising her eyebrows. They didn't blame her because how they acted would seem strange to anyone.
"You get assignments for sport?" She questioned.
"How did you know I am taking sport?" Tommy wondered.
"Your jacket," she replied.
"Oh, yeah right," he stuttered after he glanced down at his jacket.
"That's not just what I am majoring in. I'm doing a joint one," he added.
"So what's the other one?"
He didn't know how to answer because he wasn't taking any other subject. He wished he didn't say it but he couldn't take it back now. Hopefully Merton would help him out.
"Biology, he's taking biology," Merton muttered.
"Okay," she was still a little sceptical.
"So you had fun on your date then?" Tommy asked trying to change the subject.
"Yeah, we did," she answered.
"That's good," he said. He then turned to Merton, smiling.
"Yeah," Merton replied.
"Okay, I'll see you later buddy, " he said standing up and started to walk away.
"Wait where are you going? We have work to do," Merton called after him. He stopped and turned around.
"We can finish the rest later?" He called back and then nodded slightly in the direction of Colette to try and simulate I'll leave you two alone. Then he began to walk again. Merton sighed and turned back to face Colette. He wished Tommy would have stayed, just a little longer so that he wouldn't say something stupid. Last night had gone well but it was only a matter of time before he did or said something to ruin what ever they had.
"So you came to return a book? " he asked nervously.
"Did he make you help him? You know you don't have to help him, just because he's your roommate," she said.
"He didn't make me do anything. He's my best friend, " he told her.
"Really? I'm sorry. At my School none of the popular kids would hang out with me. All the jocks were mean," she said.
"It's fine. I don't even understand why he is my friend sometimes."
"Anyway, I better go take this book back," she said standing up from the seat.
"Hang on, I'll come with you. Let me just sign out."
"Sure after I have given it back, we can start on designing some posters," she said.
"For what?"
"For The Gothic Fantasy Guild, to get new members, " she replied.
"Oh, you was serious about helping me with that."
"Off course, why wouldn't I have been?"
"Well I've never really had any help before. I mean there was members but I ran it pretty much my self, "
"Well now you have a co-president to help you. "
"You can't make yourself co-president."
"I thought that you'll need one if we reopen it and since that I am helping you. "
"No, " he said.
"Please, " she said but he shook his head. "Come on Merton I know you want me to be co-president, " she added, eyes wide like puppy eyes.
"Don't do those eyes. You have to be elected, " he responded.
"Was you elected as president?" She asked.
"Yes, at my school, " he replied.
"Can't you just elect me?" She wondered, hopefully.
"Sorry no, other members need to vote to make it fair. "
"But they aren't any other members yet, " she pointed out.
"That is true, " he said.
"Please just let me. You won't regret it. "
"Okay," he finally agreed.
"Okay? "
"Yes because you're just going to keep asking aren't you? When we get more people we are going to elect people the proper way. "
"Yeah, thank you, " she chimed and then kissed him. Then she began to walk towards the counter, leaving Merton there in shock. She actually kissed him and not on the cheek. She kissed him on the lips and he couldn't help but to smile at the fact.
"Are you coming? " She called snapping him out of his daze.
"Yeah, " he replied and then ran towards her.
She handed the book back and then they left the library.
"They are society of Valocks," Merton said.
