Hunter Grayson

“It’s a good thing your aunt is a doctor. Want me to text her to come check up on you?” she asked him, feeling his forehead for a fever.

“No no...I’m fine...I’m old enough to know how to take care of myself.” he admitted. 

“I can be pushed to my limits just like anyone else. It just takes a lot to do that,” she explained, smiling before going into the kitchen to put the tea kettle on. “I think some chamomile with honey will help your throat. Plus the steam is great for your sinuses.”

Hunter nodded his head a little. He watched her leave before looking back around the room again. “I have heard that.. but I am not able to make it...or rather I cannot be bothered to make it myself.” he pointed out. 

“Well, I hate the canned stuff,” That and Murphy enjoyed cooking.  Even if it was only for himself.  Probably why he had gotten back into school for it while he was teacher.  It was a hard life to be this Parker.  An exhausting, busy life but he knew how to take the small moments.  Like making soup for someone that took his breath away when he simply looked at him.  

The moment that he got into the bed he knew that he would get sick too.  Although he still wished against it.  "Even tasting it won’t give away this ingredient,“ He wasn’t going to give any hints either.  

"Sorry am I making it too hot?” He would get off the bed if he was making Hunter feel uncomfortable.

Hunter laughed. “And there I was thinking I was special enough for you do something out of the ordinary and cooked especially for me..” he teased with a small smile towards the male. “It won’t... now I am intrigued... you are really trying to get me really thinking aren’t you?” He asked. 

“I don’t think it will. But alright, try not to die than.”

“I don’t have any intent of dying just yet...but I will try my hardest.” he laughed. 

“Exactly. Glad someone can see it.”

“I do see it... I think it’s awful how people have secluded you when other’s have the same ability. “

“Nothing, forget I said that. I wasn’t even sure what I was going to say.” She laughed waving her head. She almost slipped up and said because of that monster mother of yours.

“right..” he let the comment go over his head. “But it doesn’t mean I will go through with the transition... plus my dad is a brotherhood of the five... for all we know..that might block out the vampire gene..” 

“It is stupid. The whole bloody thing is.”

“Yes it is... I mean sure there is not any different between your or a siphoner wolf hybrid...since they have supernatural energy to siphon too..” 

“There, at least it’ll put you to sleep.”

“Yes... That is one thing I envy about Vampires...not needing to worry about human ailments.” 

“There is it’s in your blood because of that.. your mom.”

Hunter tilted his head. “Because of that...what?” he questioned. 

“Because we’re worse abominations apparently. Not fully witches not fully human. That is until we became a vampire and could siphon out vampire power to use our magic whenever we please.”

Hunter shook his head. “I suppose... but I mean it’s still seems stupid to me.” he admitted. 

“Sadly though it’s something you need to do. Watch a movie, read a book, do something that involves staying in and relaxing.”

“Sleeping... I will be doing a lot of sleeping I think..” he admitted with a small giggle. “Reading and movies will make me sleep anyway..” he stated with a smile. 

“Not really.. because in a way you’re still aging, even in death. She stated with a shrug. “The only difference is you’ll come back if you die and I never will.”

“There is not really a guarantee that I will come back when I’m dead..” he admitted. He had never thought about it, but now with his new hunter abilities, it made him feel sick at the thought. 

“Ouch. I’m wounded Hunt.” He chuckled. “You know I’m always up for proving how awesome I am.”

Hunter laughed a little. “Of course you are... I’m just saying if you were that awesome,,, we wouldn’t be exes..” he teased the other. 

“That’s partly because we were locked away for a very long time.”

“Yes...I never understood why...since Vampires and Werewolves and witches are all technically abomination of nature so why were heretics singled out..” he finished rhetorically

“No shame.” She smirked. “One day I will yes, but you’ll always be older.” She winked.

“Well if I die and you don’t...you could still end up older than me..” he admitted with a laugh. 

“Of course one can.” Nora rolled her eyes slightly. “Everyone underestimates us siphoners and heretics.

Hunter nodded. “Whoa...that’s pretty cool... I mean heretics and siphoners are pretty underestimated and not much knowledge is said about them compared to wolves and witches and vampires..” he pointed out.
