Chapter 15

Mic blinked, the blinding headache was stretching back across her forehead. "Ah I think so, what the hell was that all abou-" Mic looked down and saw that in front of her lay an ancient looking scroll. Her eyes widened. "Where did that come from?" she asked Gia's brow arched as she studied her friend, "It wasn't there before?" Mic just stared at the dusty scriptures and unraveled them, they were etched in ancient Romany text. "Okkkk," Mic said scanning down the pages. Richie watched on amazed, how did she do that, and where did they come from? Gia slid closer to Richie, the look on Mic's face giving her pause. She'd never had powers, NEVER, especially a wish power. Fuck, and after being with Jon? this was sooo not good. Well that was one thing she wasn't gonna even mention, at least not right now what with the way Mic was feeling about Jon. Her arm slipped around Richie as her emerald gaze studied her friend, now engrossed in the old parchment. "Well? what the hell does it say?" Mic squinted her eyes as the text was almost faded, she read it through her eyes growing wider."Um okay, it seems that hundreds of years ago the Upier, were protectors of the Romany, as they were their preferred food source. It appears that in some instances a powerful Upier would pick a Romany mate simply for the qualities we possessed as gypsies," she read further on. "And Upier are not turned into vampires like in movies, but are born that way. They are just a human, like everyone else but they start to develop and gain their powers and instincts by the time they are around twenty-four or twenty-five. It also says here that you will age slowly, oh yes..." she moved down the page sweeping away the dust steadily, as she read intently. "Speed, you have the ability to move at the speed of light if you instinct tells you too, you will be able to sense emotions, particularly fear, passion and desire from other beings.... ahhh.. sunlight doesn’t effect you like others, you prefer to wake around noon and go to bed late. Hmm this is interesting, you are likely to form a bond with a PSI vampire, who feeds off of energy and people's emotions rather than blood, so be on the lookout for that," she joked as she turned over the pages. Richie just listened as the abundance of information was read to him, and tried to take it all in. It didn’t sound as bad, well not all garlic and stakes thought the hearts. "Wow, um, I don’t know what to say? PSI Vampire? I don’t know anyone that does that," Richie admitted. Mic just shook her head "Its not always a fact though, but you just might notice someone that can command an audience or charm a.." her mind trailed off. Nooooo, he couldn’t be could he? She shook the assumption off and continued reading. Gia snorted, "Sounds a lot like Jonny boy there. Richie does he ever get all growly if he’s not on stage?" Richie nodded "Hell yea, the boy cant sit still for one minute, and he hates being alone, got to be with people our Jonny" he chuckled. Mic just stared at the paper, if this was true, and what she had just done.. oh dear god. She would have to research that later. She leaned her head against Richie's shoulder her nose wrinkling as Mic got a rather strangulated look on her face. "Ok you're not happy with what you're reading.. why?" She stuttered before continuing "Um, nothing nothing, it also just says here Richie, you may prefer it cooler than most." Her eyes scanned down the parchment where it had detailed information about their life mates. "It just says here also that an Upier's life mate is bound to them forever, and if they fight it, it doesn’t bode well for either of them. A Upier’s life mate is the only one that can bear his children, and satisfy his true need of blood, or energy source, dependant on which one you are," her mind drifted off as she read the next part. "How the Upier and his mate bond can happen in many ways, although biting on a regular occurrence seemed to be the most popular way at least for the blood vamp. It was thought that three bites in a close chamber of time would seal this," Mic felt a pit form in her stomach as she realized that this was possibly what had happened with Gia and Richie. As she read on "Or in the instance of a PSI Upier, sexual -" Mic stopped reading and blinked. No fucking way, there was no way in hell she would be bound to him, no way in hell. She breathed out, it wasn’t even confirmed he was one so just calm down Mic. Richie watched on "You ok?" noticing she was shaky. She smiled "Fine, but that’s what it basically says about you, now that I have some leads I can find out more, as this is so not what we were told was it Gia?" she shook her head trying to remain calm. Her best friend tied to a fangalicious mate and the dread that she may be to an arrogant asshole. Gia closed her eyes and saw again that small flickering flame inside of Richie. As she opened her eyes she snorted in derision. "Seems the Romany somewhere along the line decided these Upier were bad news, because all I've ever been taught is stay away from vampires they are evil, or kill it if you can." She risked a glance at Richie. "I wouldn't worry too much about that biting thing, old texts can be notoriously off about such things too. RIGHT MIC?" She turned and gave her friend a you better agree with me look. Mic picked up exactly her friend's sentiments "Oh right exactly, I need to re read it all anyway some of its missing words. But at least you now know the basics" she nodded. Richie just watched the two girls "Ok, well how would I know if I found my life mate?" he asked them both curious now. Gia's eyes were steady on Mic's, her body tensing up as she sent wave after wave of be careful thoughts towards her friend. "Ya know Richie, your what barely 25 years old? You got ages before you have to worry bout settling down right?" She managed a laugh as she stuffed her own ideas down deep. Mic nodded in agreement "Exactly you have only just started this journey, I don’t think you'd be that lucky to find that straight away ya know, besides as a rock star I am sure you both have some wild oats to go and sew" Mic tried to keep it light. In the back of Mic’s mind, if this was all true then Mic knew it would only be a matter of time before Richie would start to see the effects of being away from Gia, and god forbid, Jon away from her. Gia swallowed hard then put a smile on and changed the subject. "So does it say there how often he needs, umm, well non food nourishment?" Mic nodded "Oh yeah, ya fangs, you will be able to control them over time by the way, for when you need to use them, not just because you are horny" she winked. "Soo it says dependant on the blood you are drinking you wont need to feed for a couple of days, once you find your life mate their blood may tie ya over for a week" Richie just nodded, so this meant on tour he would have to go out and find blood every few days? Good lord. How the hell would he disguise that, there really was only one way.
