Untamed Slave: Caged

Chapter 2

"Surprise!" Was cheered as we opened the door and from what I could see everyone was here. Rufus tricked me he took me out for ice cream to give them more time. I can't believe he decided that it would be a great idea to bring Alec here with the whole family present. After the surprise they all got busy, wishing me a happy birthday as they passed me.

"Who's your friend?" my mom asked as we reached her. She still looked as beautiful as ever with her blonde curls and blue eyes.

"Mom this is Alec from school."I’m introducing a boy to my mom, how crazy is that.

"It's nice to meet you, Alec. The girls are upstairs." My mom said smiling at us, before she to went to help out in the kitchen.

"That's your mom?" my dad had turned my mom when she was 25, I’m 17 now the age gap is ridiculous.

"Yeah, sorry about the whole family attacking us as we came in."

"That was so cool, I almost had a heart attack though." Alec admitted smiling at me.

"It isn't over yet. I can't possibly imagine what the girls are up to in my room." Better them than my father, so up the stairs we went. I knocked, yes on my own bedroom door.

"Yes?" They all sang together acting so innocent.

"Are you decent? I have a friend with me!" You never know with them.

"Maybe, maybe not! Is your friend a sexy guy." Avery asked.

"Yes he is a guy."

"Then I'm not decent, come on in." Jip, that is Avery for you.

"Just ignore Avery she..." I shook my head not knowing how to finish that. I opened the door slowly and peeked in. They were all just standing around, it seems safe so I walked in which was the wrong choice as they threw me with buckets of glitter.

"Happy Birthday!" I couldn't help smiling, they are the only people that would possible do this. I twirled as the glitter settle over me for their benefit, not at all living out a princess moment, nope.

"all of you are weird!."

"Skylar you forgot something in the door way!" Right Alec!

"Guys this is Alec a boy from my school." I introduced him to my friends.

"First I'm just a guy, not a sexy guy and now I'm a boy from school. Skylar I'm honestly hurt." Alec faked being hurt again.

"Well I like him, can we keep him?" Hannah joked smiling at Alec.

"Guys this is the sexy guy from my school, better?" I asked Alec

"It's an improvement." I bumped him with my hand.

"Alec this is Hannah." I said looking at Hannah. Hannah looks a lot like her mom, she has this golden blonde hair, but she has uncle Ashton's dark moss green eyes, and her mothers forward personality.

"I'm the straightforward one, this is a warning for any future things I might observe out loud." Yes that's a normal thing to say.

"And this Avery." Avery is my very flirtatious cousin, apparently the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Aunt Raven seems to have been exactly like her at some point. They even look alike with the black hair, but she has brown eyes, that sometimes seem very dark greenish- grey they are just weird

"Since Hannah introduced herself probably, I'm the one that bites." She winked at him, he will never survive today.

"And this is Jocelyn." Jocelyn isn't as wild as Hannah and Avery, she is the youngest between all of us - we were all born just months apart. Jocelyn has light brown hair and blue eyes, she looks just like her father, she is the complete opposite of Aunt Bridget, but so is Claudine and Lyndsey.

"I'm the smart one." She said smiling warmly at him.

"Let me guess, you're the quiet one?"

"Don't make me hand you over to them." I warned him as a joke.

"So is lover boy joining us at the mansion?" No don't say mansion! And don't ask that question! He looked at me for answers and I was afraid to give them.

"So a mansion?" he questioned me. I didn’t now where to look or what to say and I knew the girls aren’t going to be of any help.

"Nope it's a total shack, just ignore them."

"So is he coming?" Tonight after I’ve killed Rufus I’m coming for them.

"No, my dad would never agree." Not to mention that he is a human and the mansion is where supernatural's hang.

"We can ask him at dinner." Hannah stated, is she completely insane!

"I don't know Hannah." I saw Alec's face drop at my obvious attempts to stop them from asking my dad. They picked up on the sudden tension, so made an excuse to leave.

"I like your cousins." yes he is delusional, I should have known he couldn’t be normal and this hot without having some character flaws.

"Just Avery is my actual cousin, but all of us are like family." A silence fell over us again the reason for it obvious.

"Alec...I would love it if you could come with..."

"But?" he questioned following my train of though exactly.

"Things always get hectic at the shack and it can be overwhelming. I don't have the smallest of family, just in this house at the moment there is at least 27 people."

"So you think I won't be able to deal with your family and then run for the hills." Or be chased by vampires or werewolves up the hill being mauled and eaten.

"Yes."

"And here I thought you might be embarrassed because I'm just a guy from school." He clearly believes that is the real reason.

"Didn't you just meet my best friends, trust me I don't get embarrassed easily, they have gotten it out of my system."

"Skylar, we're going to eat!"My mom yelled from downstairs.

"I hope you're hungry?" I took his hand and led him back downstairs, he must believe that I'm not embarrassed by him now that all eyes are on us. Everybody was already sitting down so we stood out coming into the room hand in hand.

"Okay let me give you the 101 on the family." I whispered to him as everyone started putting food on their plates.

"That's my grandfather Ray and his wife Whitney. She is the sweetest ever. Next to her is Gemma my aunt, yes aunt, she's like 5 year older than me and her brother, my uncle Andrew. Then there is my uncle Mick my mother's brother. Next to him is Deacon, he's like my uncle and that is his wife Cameron. They met at my 4th birthday party, so it's their anniversary sort off, the little boy is their son, Bruce, but we call him Brucey." I smiled at the little red head monster in front of me.

"Then their is my grandmother, Karen- my moms mother and her husband Alexander and his son Alex junior. Then on this side we have Bridget, my moms best friend, Jocelyn's mother and her husband Joshua and their other daughters Claudine and Lyndsey. That guy is my uncle Ashton and my moms other best friend Casey, Hannah's mom. And that is my fathers brother Dustin and his wife Raven, Avery's parents. Lastly we have Rufus and his daughter Morgan and Matt and his wife Shelby."

"You weren't joking when you said it's a big family."

"Yeah and this is mostly my parents friends and my moms family. I only see my fathers family at affairs at the shack." Now that I'm finally done I can eat, I quickly filled my plate and started eating. Everyone was talking and making jokes. I love all of them they are the best. We all basically grew up together. We get together every weekend and when it's vacation everyone would stay at the mansion. And it's always this warm.

"...Dustin ended up in the dog box."

"Shame you never stay out of trouble." Ashton joked.

"No he was really in the dog house, I locked him out and it had started to rain." They are the odd couple, well oddest. They fight a lot, but not seriously. They are to in love with each other...it's a very possessive and jealous relationship.

"Uncle Blayne?"

"Yes Hannah?"

"Can I ask you something from all the girls?"

"This seems like a trap and if I say no I'll feel guilty.

""Good." Hannah smiled at my dad, she can seem so innocent at times, at least everyone knows her and doesn't fall for it.

"We were wondering if Skylar's friend could come along this weekend?" I almost choked on my food.

"Hannah I haven't even been introduces so I don't know."

"Sorry daddy, this is..."

"Hello sir I'm Alec a friend of Skylar's from school." My dad looked at me for confirmation and I remember we held hands.

"A good friend from school."

"I don't see why he can't come along, it's only going to be us this weekend."

"Really?" I was shocked to my core, I never in a million years thought that my father would actually allow Alec to join us.

"Yes sweetheart your friend can come with us, if it's fine with his parents."

"My parents are gone, they are on a business trip, they run a company together."

"Then it's settled." Wow, just like that.

"Since we're on the topic...The girls are all driving in early tomorrow morning." Uncle Ashton started.

"I was wondering if Skylar and her friend shouldn't join them, and make a road trip of it." I’ve never driven in with the girls my parents are very protective of me.

"I don't know I prefer that Skylar fly with us."

"Blayne let her have some fun with her friends!" Aunt Raven said. She isn't scared of my dad she says thing like they are.

"The girls has done this a few times now, it's perfectly safe." Aunt Casey added.

"Fine." My father agreed and I almost jumped up to hug him, this is going to be so much fun!

"How late will we be leaving?" Alec asked with the biggest smile I've ever seen on anyone's face.

"Be here at midnight."

"We're going to leave at midnight?" he looked shocked at my choice of time. The mansion is quite some time away. We need to leave early in order to arrive early.

"Come on where is your sense of adventure?" Avery asked him. Someday her flirting and suggestion will get her in trouble.

We all were finally in my bed, it's still early but we have to get some sleep at least.

"What do you guys think about Alec?" I questioned staring out into the darkness of my room.

"He is sexy! Really sexy." Avery answered, I blushed and then I got slightly jealous.

"Not what I meant Avery!" I complained if she was next to me I would have hit her with my pillow.

"He's nice and he seems to really like you..." Hannah gave the answer to what I really was asking.

"Why do I feel like there is a but coming?" I questioned.

"Because there is. Skye he's human..."

"And what wrong with him being human? My mom's was human when my dad met her, so was yours Hannah, and Jocelyn's! And we all have some human in our DNA. All four of us are half bloods!"

"There is nothing wrong with being human." Jocelyn explained.

"But?" I said feeling annoyed with them.

"But what is the possibility of the two of you in the future? Who ever you end up with will be the next 'King'. Do you honestly believe that a human would be able to do that job?"

"I'm talking about liking this guy, not marriage! I'm only 17! And I'm going to take over from my father, I won't let our position fall into someone else's hands."

"We aren't saying you're going to marry the guy, clearly he is meant for you to have fun with."

"But?" I sighed in defeat.

"Your mom was 19 when she met your dad and 22 when they got married. My mom was 21 when she had me and also 22 at marriage. Hannah's mom was 23 and Jocelyn's mom was 26 at marriage. Face it even if you wait a few years, marriage for us won't be that far off and we'll always be 21." Avery explained.

"So all of you have thought about this stuff?"

"Yeah." Rang through my room.

"We all have lived normal lives -not at all like our parents had, but we all know how we'll end up. I've been learning history since I could read; Avery is already better than her mom in hunting and Hannah inherited her fathers skills." Jocelyn explained further.

"And I know I'll take over from my father someday."

"Exactly. We have to think about these things." Everything was quiet after that as we all snuggled in further.

"Skylar! The door!"

"No you get it!"

"He's your boyfriend."

"He's not my..." Alec is here.

"Come on its midnight we have to get up." I switched on my lights receiving groans from the girls while I went down stairs and opened the door for Alec.

"Hey."

"Hi why aren't you ready yet?"

"The girl used you as an alarm. Do you want some coffee?"

"Yes that would be nice."

"You see they always get up at midnight, then they come down to get something to eat and lots of coffee, before getting ready and only then do they leave at 2 am."

"But why do they leave so early?"

"To arrive early. My parents, Avery's and Hannah's fly in together at 7 and Jocelyn's parent left last night."

"And they want to arrive around the same time as everyone else."

"Yes." I heard the footsteps on the stairs and then they all came into the kitchen. I poured them some coffee and then we all sat down around the counter.

"Do you want to hear something really twisted? I came from the Mansion and now I have to go back. I could have stayed there and would have still been sleeping." Hannah groaned at her misfortune.

"Same here Hannah! The two of us could have been home in bed." Avery added. Hannah and Avery mostly live at the mansion, but their parents do have their own houses, it's just more convenient for them to be at the mansion. My dad told me that uncle Ashton, aunt Raven and him had been living together since they were young. Ashton moved in with him when he was 17 and Raven joined them when she turned 18 when they were 20. They have now been living together for 21 years. I did the math, yes I do like school to much sometimes.

"I need food if you want me to be able to drive!" Hannah complained.

"You know where everything is! What's wrong with your hands?" I questioned her lazy ass.

"Do you know what I like most about your friends?" alec asked me smilling one of those amazing smiles.

"No what?"

"You talk a lot around them." I rolled my eyes at him before getting some muesli and milk.

Two hours later and we were ready to go.

"Yes, Master!" I heard my mom telling my dad

"Come on Kat, I'm sorry!"

"I accept your apology Master! My only purpose is to serve you."

"Good morning Sweetheart."

"Good morning daddy, you and mom fighting?"

"Yes I was bossy...Again." Always when my dad doesn't consider my mom opinion and tells her what to do, she calls him master. It isn't a secret that she was his slave at first. It's actually very funny how quickly my dad can change from the powerful ruler to the loving husband that tries to get my mom to forgive him.

"She just needs to cool off for a moment."

"I heard that!" my mom yelled from upstairs.

"I miss the times when she wasn't a vampire with super hearing."

"That too!" she yelled again. I couldn't help smile at the situation.

"Send me a text every now and again, let's make it every half an hour."

"Okay daddy."

"He use to make me carry a phone and beeper around so that he could know where I was at all times. You'll get use to it."My mom said while passing us

"I did that because I cared for you!"

"Of course you did!"

"You should enjoy it, because this is one time only situation." My dad told me. He still wasn’t keen on the idea of letting me go on this road trip, it’s obvious he was bullied into it and if he wasn’t surrounded by people he would have said no.

"Got it, Thanks dad." I hugged him kissing his cheek. Then I walked into the kitchen to my mom.

"Where's your friend?"

"The girls are working him like a slave of course. He is putting all the bags in the car."

"Your dad and I are only fooling around." My mom didn’t like it when they argued in front of me. Which is silly because their arguing was like one of aunt Raven and Dustin good day.

"Don't worry mom I get it I'll start worrying when you're fight like aunt Raven and uncle Dustin."

"Are you sure you don't want to fly out with us?" my mom is worse than my dad when it comes to being protective.

"Yes I'm sure mom." My mom is more protective of me, since she was taken when she was a kid, she likes holding me close.

"Call us if anything happens, we can come and get you at anytime."

"What hovering above the car, as I climb out of the window onto the helicopters ladder?"

"Yes exactly." I hugged my mom tightly holding on longer than I usually do. She was playing with my hair like she always does.

"I'm going to be fine, mom. I'll see you soon."

Let the road trip begin.
