An Imperfect Life

Chapter 40: So Simon Says?

(PPOV)

“What?”

“Just what I said. Do I need to repeat myself. I thought you were a vampire?”

“No no no. No need to repeat yourself I heard you. But what do you mean your Daughter?”

“Peter there are somethings you will learn over the course of the next few days. Not many know these secrets because Bella wishes it so. Which is why I can only tell you so much. The rest you will have to speak with Bella about.”

“Oh.”

“That’s it OH. The all knowing Peter is lost for words?”

“Hey I don’t know everything.”

“That’s more like it. I have heard many stories of your quick and witty repertoire.”

“You have heard of me but I have no idea who you are!”

“Oh you know who I am, or at least you have heard of me.”

“I have?”

“Oh yes there isn’t a vampire or human for that matter who has not heard of me. I am the center of most nightmares in both races. The supposed leaders of our world quake at my feet when I enter the room.”

“The Vulturi are afraid of you?”

“Yes. Very much so.”

“So you are older then they are correct?”

“Yes”

“Both humans and vampires know of and fear you?”

“Yes”

“Bella is your Daughter? But she is human and you are a vampire.”

“Your getting there.”

“Stay out of my head.”

“Sorry just thought I would let you know you are on the right train of thought.”

“Well OK your forgiven. Now what was I thinking that I was right about?”

*chuckling* “Oh Peter you are definitely going to be an interesting addition to our little family group.”

“Stay on track Drac.”

“Ah Peter”

“What? What did I say?”

“Think about it Peter.”

“I said ‘stay on track Drac.’. Wait you mean to tell me…”

“Yes Peter.”

“Whoa…no way.”

“Yes Peter!”

“Oh my of all things unholy you have got to be kidding me.”

“Nice word usage. But yes that is what I’m telling you.”

“You telling me that you are Dracula. As in thee Dracula. First ever vampire known to walk the earth. Father of all vampires. Bringer of death to those who oppose his rule. And Father to Bella?”

“okay that last one didn’t sound quite so dramatic. But for the rest yeah.”

“Wow. And you chose to go by Simon? Dude that is so not scary.”

“Simon was my given name at birth.”

“Really?”

“Nope just said that for my health.”

“You have been around Jasper for too long. You are picking up on his sarcasm.”

“Not his. Bella’s.”

“Oh god no not another one.”

“Oh you have no idea. Bella is worse then Jasper. You will see once you get to know her better. Which by the way I heard what you were thinking about her in the airport.”

“Oh sorry about that.”

“Oh it is not I who you will need to apologize to. I heard Jasper growling at you. The only reason he was doing that is because Bella was relaying what you were thinking to him.”

“What you mean Bella is a mind reader too?”

“Bella is so much more then just a simple mind reader young Peter. So much more.”

“What do you mean?”

“Bella is of my genetic blood line.”

“huh didn’t see that one coming. How?”

“I am able to mate and procreate with human females.”

“Dude that is awesome. Shit don’t tell Char I said that. She will lock my balls up in the safe for weeks.”

“Your secret is safe with me. Anyway. Bella is the last of my latest bloodline. I will not start another. She is it. She also happens to be the most special of all.”

“You mean you have more children like Bella?”

“Similar yes. Like, no where even close. Bella is one of a kind.”

“So how many children have you had in total?”

“I have had 6 bloodlines on three continents.”

“Wow. Where?”

“My first was in China. That line ended with a daughter of sorts also.”

“What do you mean Ended.”

“To make a long story short. Most of my offspring our male. They then only produce male offspring. Every so many generations one of the men have a daughter. That daughter grows and ages as any normal child until they reach 18.”

“What happens at 18?”

“They begin to change.”

“You mean they change into vampires without being bitten!”

“Yes Peter. The full transformation takes three years. They are full vampire by the age of 21.”

“So what happened to them once they turn 21?”

“Well first I would seek them out. My first child Mesha chose to remain with her family.”

“How is that possible? Doesn’t their blood call to her?”

“No Peter if you haven’t noticed I have no blood lust at all.”

“Yeah I have. I also noticed you can eat human food.”

“Yes but most of my children can not. As I said they are full vampire.”

“Most?”

“Let me finish my story and I will answer all your questions then okay? it will be easier and take less time.”

“OK”

“Now Mesha stayed with her family. Then my second Daughter so to speak was in India. Her name was Riti. Riti traveled with me for many years. We once found our way back to China where the two girls met. Our timing couldn’t have been worse though. There was a war going on and needless to say both my children were lost.”

“That sux. Go on.”

“Next I traveled to South America. My first blood line there was short three generations of boys until finally a daughter. Metka was wonderful she was smart and beautiful but she fell in love with a mortal. He chose to stay human. So when he died Metka also found a way to die. It was sad but I understood love is a powerful thing between mates.”

“Her mate was human?”

“This surprises you, knowing that two of your acquaintances are both mated with humans. On of those being your brother.”

“But Bella is not technically human is she.”

“She is very much human. She eats, sleeps, breaths. She is human. She is only seventeen.”

“But she seems so vampire like?”

“I will explain that at another time. This way I will only have to explain it once.”

“Good point. Please continue.”

“So Metka passed with her mate. Many years passed before I mated again. It took several generations before another daughter was born. Zapheria is strong and brave. She has her own coven in the Amazon. Bella wishes to meet her one day and she will.”

“So a trip to the Amazon. Nice hunting down there.”

“Well she is one of my final three. After many years in the south I decided a trip to Europe was in order. Russia to be exact. That is where my Carmen was born.”

“Wait I know that name? but where do I know that name from?”

“I believe she lives in the coven with the three succubus’s Tanya, Kate, and Irina in Alaska. They are what you would say cousins to the Cullen Clan.”

“Ah yes that is where. I had my run in with the evil three. Let’s just say Char was not  happy with me for a long time.”

“You didn’t.”

“No I didn’t, but they tried and Char doesn’t care about the details.”

“I can see that. So now on with the story. She to is my child. Then and last but not least my darling Isabella.”

“Don’t let her here you call her that. Jasper said she is rather moody when it comes to her name.”

“Ah but I can call her that because I am her father.”

“Well technically you’re her however many great grandfather.”

“Yes and No.”

“Confused”

“Okay my vampire gene can only be passed to the female offspring. Just because I did not mate with the mother does not mean I am not the father. If you were to check; her DNA she is half mine and half her mother.”

“Wait what about her dad?”

“He is basically a clone of me. Our DNA is identical. As is with all the males of my bloodline.”

“WOW. That is creepy and cool all at the same time.”

“So Bella is the Last of my blood line. But she is also the most special.”

“How so?”

“Let’s get back to the house and I will explain to everyone.”

“Okay but what about Charlotte? She won’t understand.”

“I will leave the re-tell of my story up to you.”

“Oh okay.”

“Let’s go.”

We ran back to the house this time. I could hear the laughter coming from within as soon as we got close. They were telling stories about us from our glory days. Or as I like to refer to them as our gory days. We did do some funny shit back then. I just hope Bella isn’t to scared.

“Bella will never fear you or your mate.”

“didn’t I ask you to stay out of my head.”

“Yes but when you start thinking outrageously stupid things I feel the need to correct you.”

“You seriously are hanging around the youngin’s to much.”

“There is that southern accent that Bella was raving about the other day after she got off the phone with Jasper. Are you from Texas also?”

“Yes sir. Born an’ Breed.”

“Jasper sounds the same?”

“No sir. His is much deeper and far more pronounced then mine. He is as you would say older then I.”

“Southern hospitality. My baby girl couldn’t have picked a better family.”

“But Miss Charlotte is not Southern.”

“Oh I know all about Miss Charlotte.”

“What do you know about her?”

“I know that she comes from my cousins bloodline. So she too is family. Either way you see Peter David Whitlock you are family.”

“What! How did you? Wait why do I even bother. Of course you know everything. Your Dracula for god sakes.”

*Laughing* “Yes that I am”

We entered the house with Simon, I mean Dracula still laughing his head off. They all turned to look at us. Bella had a knowing smile on her face. Jasper just chuckled. As if he knew what was running through my head. Shit he probably does. He laughed loudly this time. Of course two telepaths in the house no ones thoughts are their own.

“Actually Peter. If you want privacy inside your head all you have to do is ask. Unlike Edward we have the option to block your thoughts. You know like an on/off switch.” Bella said to me.

“Well then by all means flip that shit to off.”

Bella chuckled but nodded to me. I looked over to Simon.

“Fine I to will stay out of your head.”

“Good I prefer it that way.”

“Awe what’s a matter Yoda. Not only is your shit on the fritz with these two, you don’t like the fact that they can read your mind.” Jasper of course said to add insult to injury.

“Shut it Major. I’m not in the mood for your shit.”

“Did I hit a nerve” he sneered.

“I’m warning you Major.”

“What you going to do Lu. Tell me shit. It’s not like you can take me.”

“Major”

“If you too are going to go through this shit again take it out side unless you feel up to redoing my down stairs again.” Char scolded.

“Outside Major.”

“Bella honey I’ll be right back. I have to go teach Peter a lesson in respectin’ his elders.”

He leaned down and kissed her cheek. And followed me outside. I could hear Bella asking Char.

“Did they really have to remodel the whole first floor?”

“Yes Bella dear they did. That fireplace there is all new. I made them both build it by hand at human speed. Needless to say Jasper had no problems what so ever and took it in stride where my husband the big baby that he is whined the whole time because he had to go slow.”

“I did not whine” I yelled back.

That set off another round of uncontrollable laughter. Great now they will be laughing at me all night long.

We made it into the woods about a mile away from the house. I turned and rounded on the Major.

“You know not to make fun of my gift Major.”

“Oh I do, do I?”

“Major. You know I’m extremely sensitive about my foresight. When it goes all fritzy I don’t know what is goin’ to happen. It makes me kind of paranoid.”

“Awe poor Petey is all paranoid cause he can’t see anything about Bella or Simon.”

“Major!”

“What? It’s not my fault your acting like a whiny bitch.”

“That’s it”

I lounged for him. He of course being the strategic genius he is dodged me and slammed my ass into the tree.

“Ouch dick that hurt”

“NO….”

“Sarcasm is not a gentlemanly trait there Major. Did hanging out with that young Teeny bopper warp your delicate little mind.”

“Don’t speak about Bella that way”

“Oh now I got on the Major’s nerves. I’m sorry did I insult your little lady.”

“Peter I’m warning you now…”

“What ya goin’ do?”

I’m not sure when I lost my senses but provoking the Major was not a brilliant Idea. I stood there dumb founded as I watched his eyes turn from gold to black. The growl sounding from his chest should have been warning enough, but no I had to poke the proverbial bear. Next thing I know I’m up against a tree missing my arms and legs.

“You might wanna think twice before talking about Bella like that ever again. I’ll be sure to give Charlotte your limbs.”

“No Major. Don’t give them to Char give them to me.”

“No such luck. Later Petey.”

I sat there and watched as the Major walked back home with my limbs. I can only imagine what Char will say when he gets back there carrying my limbs. “What did that Asshole do this time?”

And the Major will reply

“Well he whined and then he bad mouthed Bella so I ripped his limbs off.”

“HE DID WHAT?”

“He spoke unkindly of Bella.”

“Where did you leave him this time?”

“About a mile into the woods, leaning against a tree.”

“I’ll go get him”

Sometime during my internal monologuing Char showed up with my limbs.

“Hi Honey”
