The Nightmare That Never Ended (Chapter Twenty-One)

I had to speak with Mika and Peter about Brendon.  Us vampires frown upon any work done by humans. Usually vampires have perfect teeth but Brendon, being a halfie, doesn't. Vampires are blessed with great looks and no flaws but, when you have human in you, your flaws take forever to go away.1

I said, "Mika, he's only a halfie. He wanted to go back to his parents. You learn from your mistakes. He'll learn."2

Mika nodded as Peter kissed my cheek. He said, "I did the same thing he's doing. I had braces and it hurt like hell. My fangs couldn't go out. I took pliers to them. I almost pulled my fangs out but instead... I yanked the braces off. We need to get them off."3

We all looked at Brendon and watched his fangs glide out. We watched him quickly grab his head and walk to the wall. He sat against the wall as Madame Alexzandra joined him. She hugged him and whispered things to him.4

"He won't let you take them off," I stated.5

"We could get him a little buzzed and put truth serum in the alcohol. He'll want them off," said Peter in response.6

"But won't he just want them right back?" asked Mika.7

I nodded in response and heard Peter speak again.8

"My mother probably did the fillings but I know a dentist for those few unlucky vampires. He's a werewolf. I share my house with him."9

We all nodded in agreement. Mika called for Vodka as Peter pulled a glass tube out of his pocket. He poured some of the contents in the Vodka and walked over to Brendon. Mika and myself followed. Peter sat down beside Brendon and put the bottle of Vodka in Brendon's hand. As he did so he said, "Here. It'll help dull the pain. I know what you're going through."
