The She-Devil And Her Alphas

Chapter 78 - Seventy - Eight : Babysitting The Nerd

Ben groaned, his body was aching all over as if he was just dug out of a subterranean pit.

"Water " He moaned and stretched forth his hands expectantly.

He knew it was morning judging from the sunlight hitting his face and habitually at his place, the housekeeper always made sure to be present to serve him a glass of water whenever he rouses from sleep.

As expected, he felt a solid weight on the inside of his palm and grabbed it. Lifting his head up a bit, he brought the cup to his lips.

But he spat the liquid out the moment it touched his tongue and his sleepy eye snapped open at once.

"What the fu... "

His voice trailed off the moment he recognized the figure standing before him.

Chalky skin, face more handsome than his, most girl's heartthrob, Dan.

But Ben moaned aloud holding his head as memories of the past night hit him hard .

He hates hangovers.

Ben's eyes widened at once when he remembered everything.

Linda, that Fox ! He cursed as he began evaluating yesterday's events. Suddenly he stiffen, where was Lia? Where was his goddess?! my goddess, where are you?! He wailed internally.

"Don't worry, your goddess is fine " Dan assured him after hearing his piped chattering in his head.

"Really? " Asked Ben excitedly while Dan simply nodded.

But where is she? Ben mused

"She's in safe hands " He added " A different safe hands "

"OK " Ben breathed but suddenly froze. All the guestions Dan answered, he had not asked any aloud.

He turned to face Dan with horror printed clearly all over his face. Could he read my thoughts?

"Oh yes, I've being reading your mind " Dan confirmed.

Contrary to what Dan expected, Ben's face lit up with excitement " No way, shut up ! " He expressed his shock.

Then he suddenly sprang up startling Dan and almost stumbling off the bed in the process

"This is impossible! Though Lia told me you were a vampire with teleportation ability but she never told me you were a telepath! How awesome! But how is that possible? How do you balance both powers?! " Ben effused all in one clean breath while Dan mentally facepalm, what was he expecting babysitting this nerd?

"Tell me, how does it feel having such amazing abilities? How do you manage the both? Does it overwhelms you sometimes? " Ben peppered him with questions

"Oh yes, your questions are overwhelming me right now " Dan responded with a straight face when the boy wouldn't stop prodding him .

Ben was almost jumping up and down while urging him to answer his question.

" Get back before you become my meal " He warned when the boy got too close for his liking.

The result was effective cause Ben stepped back. He could still vividly remember the pain of having a fang sunk into his neck.

"Sit " Dan commanded and the guy plonked down on the edge of the bed while he grabbed a chair and sat down, making sure to observe a distance of five meters.

" Now ask "

As soon as Ben opened his mouth, about to gush over him , Dan added

" One after the other "

There was a sulky expression on Ben's face but half bread was better than none so he complied with the rules

"Why do you have two abilities? "

As expected, Dan mused.

"Every vampire from the Nicoli clan possesses double abilities. Next " He answered curtly

Ben frowned, Dan's answer barely satisfied him but he would have to make do with that.

"I already know Asher controls the elements, what's his second - ? "

"None of your business. Next " Dan put in before he could even finish his question.

Ben furrowed his brows , face set in a deep frown. This wasn't doing him any good infact it made him more hungry for answers.

"How do you balance both powers? "

"Years of practice and experience. Next "

"Which of your abilities do you prefer the most? "

"My teleportation ability. You don't know how annoying and disturbing it is reading people's thoughts everyday " He answered with a bit of details this time surprising Ben.

"Would Lia have double abilities too? " Ben questioned this time, his ears perked up reading for juicy gossip .

This time Dan didn't answer quickly as he did to the others instead he rubbed his chin thoughtfully

"I don't know what the girl is, so I can't tell if she would possess a double ability.....but judging from the level of destruction she caused yesterday at Caroline's par - "

"What destruction? " Ben interrupted with a confused expression.

Ahh right, Dan remembered.

As funny as it sounds but Ben was so schnockered that he slept through the chaos yesterday.

The guy was so damn lucky that upon the stampede that occurred and the flying debris, not even a strand of hair on his body was touched until he was rescued by Dan.

As if his senses returned, Ben touched his pants, feeling for something.

" My cellphone? "

"Cellphone? "

" Yes, I need it! " He said searching his body frantically

"Is there any solid reason you need it desperately? "

"Yes! " He snapped, still searching " I record and write down all my paranormal thesis , findings and experiences in there including Lia's "

Dan chilled before he spat " You did what?! "

"Well, it was therapeutic and my own way of dealing with all this craziness " Ben said defensively.

He shivered when he met Dan's murderous gaze and the guy looked like he would throttle him anytime soon, so he quickly salvaged what's left of the situation .

"But let's look on the bright side " He began

"You said there was a stampede lastnight, the kids could have stomped it into bits "

"Or it could be lieing at a corner of the house waiting to be picked by one of the Council's people who are currently raiding the mansion in the name of 'investigation ' as we speak " Dan countered frustratedly

"Or one of the docky or brawny kids at school could have picked it up during the pandemonium and currently has no clue how to unlock my multiple phone securities "

Dan slowly closed in on Ben menacely while the poor guy leaned backward until his back touched the bed.

"Let's just pray you're right else... "

Ben gulped, he didn't need to guess the words after the 'else' , it was quite obvious - he just hoped his theory was right.
