Chapter Text
Sabrina was close to sleeping soundly, teetering on the edge of consciousness before a hand found its way to her shoulder, lightly shaking her in an attempt to wake the vampire up. She sighed, turning to face the owner of the hand still on her shoulder. She looked at the puppy dog eyes on the girl next to her, changing her glance from her face to the clock on the nightstand. Sabrina slowly pieced together what time it was, noticing the nine proudly glowing on the clock as she felt the sunlight that found its way through the small cracks in the curtain. “Alice…” the vampire said, trying to cover her face to get across how tired she was. “You said we’d go out today” the werewolf whined in response. Sabrina lowered her hand to reveal her eyes again, a look of confusion crossing her face before she remembered. She sighed to herself again, cuddling up to the werewolf as she started to drift back off to sleep. “We’ll go later today.”
Alice wrapped her arms around the vampire in return, one hand moving to run through the only layer of Sabrina’s hair remaining from her undercut. As the werewolf kept mindlessly petting at the other girl’s hair, her mind started to race with what to do.
“Do you remember when we met?”
The vampire moved her head to look up, trying to meet Alice’s eyes. She smiled to herself, tightening her own grip on the other girl. Sabrina mumbled out her own answer. “Of course I remember. How could I forget it?”
The two started to laugh, the memories of their first meeting flashing by in their minds. Sabrina’s father was held on a pedestal high above the other vampires in their area, using his attention to his own advantage. He threw parties often if he felt he needed to polish his golden image. Crowds of any supernatural being known to man filled each and every room of their home with each party he hosted. When he felt Sabrina had gotten old enough, he decided it was best to drag her through the crowds in attempts to find a proper partner for his daughter.
The elder vampire’s parties that really packed the house though were the ones that fell on Halloween night. Sabrina and Alice started to hold that date close to their hearts, Sabrina finally enjoying one of those parties when the two met. The young vampire was trying to avoid her father, accidentally running into the werewolf that made her finally notice her own heartbeat. The two started to talk, deciding being away from the crowd was a better place to keep their conversation going.
Sabrina never heard the end of it when her father found them together, sitting through lecture after lecture how werewolves were never an option for her in the world of romance. She learned to block him out at some point, getting in flight practice when she snuck off to visit the werewolf and figuring out ways to make sure taps on her phone’s keyboard were near silent when keeping in contact the days she stayed home. When her father thought Sabrina had matured enough to grow out of her wolf loving phase, she left to move in with Alice.
The vampire focused on the present again, noticing Alice had moved to rest her head on Sabrina’s shoulder. She had to admit she was glad her father was wrong. She loved her life the way it was now.
