NEW YORK, NEW YORK-2000
The scream didn’t wake Tai, but it definitely pulled her out of bed. She
threw off her blanket and raced across her semi-dark room—stubbing her
foot on the desk chair along the way.
“Oh! Oh my god, ooooh.” Pain shot up one leg, and the other nearly
gave as a result, but she managed to stay upright and hobble over to the
door.
Yanking it open, she stepped into the hall just in time to see her father
emerge from his bedroom. Dad stood in his boxers, a white tank pulled over
his potbelly, and shaving cream smeared on one half of his dark brown
head. He blinked at his daughter in confusion they both shared.
I don’t know, Tai mouthed, and shrugged. In the dim light, her attention
was drawn to the closed bathroom door and the glow pouring out from
under it. Nothing seemed out of place. Silence pressed in from all sides,
thick and presently undisturbed. It was honestly kinda creepy. Goose bumps
prickled her bare arms, and she rubbed to try and banish them. She wasn’t
scary or nothing like that, but screams in the early morning hours would
freak anybody out, right?
If it wasn’t for the fact Dad clearly heard it, too, she would’ve thought
she imagined the whole thing. Her fault for staying up half the night reading
Gundam Wing fanfic. Granted, she didn’t know this vampire AU was gonna
be legit horrifying, but the Heero x Duo romance was worth it.
Another handful of seconds passed before Dad hefted a sigh and strode
over to knock on the door. “Trey? Son, you okay?”
Silence.
Tai joined her father. “You may as well come out and show us.”
“It’s prolly not even that bad,” Dad offered helpfully.
For another few seconds there was still nothing. Then something
shuffled on the other side of the door while a shadow danced beneath it.
Finally the knob slowly turned, and light spilled into the hall.
Tai blinked a few times when confronted by the sudden brightness, but
what she saw…She had to bite her lip to keep from laughing. That shit hurt,
too.
Dad’s eyes widened, and he cleared his throat before breathing a soft
“Oh.”
Standing in the doorway was Tai’s twin brother, Trey. Twins in birth and
in looks. They shared the same brown skin, wide frames, slightly round
faces, and brown eyes. Even had the same thick, shoulder-length coils
growing out of their heads, though Tai usually kept hers pressed and Trey
wore his in cornrows.
Except his cornrows were gone, and in their place sprouted a bright red,
almost orange puff of synthetic strands that was closer to doll hair than
anything else. It shined and everything.
His shoulders rose and fell as he took slow, deep breaths. “Prolly not
that bad?”
