Chapter 4-4

"Please, as long as they are not me, I will smack them with my fangs!"

I had to stare at him for that comment. Bram is my best friend, but there are moments where I wonder what the hell goes on in his head. I wonder if he loses any blood in his brain whenever he does not drink for a while.

"I think you were in the shower too long because the cold water froze your brain cells. How the fuck do you smack someone with fangs?"

"Good point," then he pointed at my arms, "How are your cuts doing?"

I looked at my arms and saw that it is not as bad as it was before. All of the cuts scabbed over but I could tell that they will scar. I looked near them and saw that some of my older scars have not faded at all.

"A lot better! It is a good thing that I heal fast. I don't need to wear bandages anymore!" I said while fake smiling at him.

"Just don't overdo yourself. I'll help you put on your school shirt anyway."

It felt like he could tell how fake my smile was because of the look he gave me. When we were done, we walked out of the bathroom to see a ticked off Joy. I swear I could almost see smoke coming out of her ears.

"And they say women take forever getting ready. I swear I been waiting for you two for at least twenty minutes!"

"Joy, go shove an apple up your ass," I told her.

"Wow! Ash finally got some balls! What happened in there?!"

"He's just mad at me because I found out that he has a tail," he said as I flipped her off.

Luckily for me, Anna came out of nowhere and grabbed Joy.

"Come on cuz! I know some cute guys and girls that you could date!" she started dragging Joy away.

"Where did she come from? I couldn't see her at all."

"I would help her but Anna's dad is really scary and I don't want to piss him off before we even get to the school!"

I nodded my head at that comment, and then he decided to try to grab my tail again.

"No! Don't do that!"

"But it's so fluffy! I just want to grab it and squeeze it!"

"Fangs," I decided to use Joy's nickname for him, "do you ever realize what comes out of your mouth sometimes?"

"Sometimes, but not all the time," he scratched the side of his head, "for some reason, that normally happens when I'm talking to you."

The boat horn went off and I jumped into Bram's arms. I almost forgot how strong he was with his vampire strength.

"What the hell is that?!"

"I think it means that we are almost there. So, we should go up before everyone comes running down here to change." he told me as he put me down.

We made it to the deck right before the crazy rush. I looked around and saw other boats going towards a large set of buildings on the edge of the island. Bram tapped my shoulder and pointed to my left.

"That is a pod of dolphins."

I saw a group of weird looking grey animals swimming close to the boat. I waved at them and then they made strange clicking noises. They started shooting water out of a small hole in their backs.

"Wow! What are they doing?!"

"They are getting the water they breathed in, out of their bodies by using a blowhole. They have to do that because, unlike the many other creatures in sea, they don't actually breathe underwater."

"Wow! I can't wait to learn more about these dolly fins!"

"Dolphins."

"That's what I said!"

"No, you said dolly fins, not dolphins."

"Sounds the same to me."

"Oh, never mind. Go watch the dolly fins."
