Cameron Tylar

When he said that Zachary had gone to work, she had guessed that had happened. She snorted through her nose when he mentioned how he thought his dad wasn’t going to be happy with him. If you put them somewhere else where he would have left them then I don’t think he will be. It might have been wrong for her to suggest that but Ty didn’t want Cameron to get into trouble.

At her suggestion, he turned to look at her before quirking his brows up. “You’re right,” He nodded; he was surprised she had suggested that though. He knew that it could have gotten him into trouble – but at least he could barrier his mind from his father’s unlike his siblings. The joy of sharing his gifts she supposed. “Maybe the fruit bowl on the front table, he tends to keep them there at times.”

“Dad went away to work so… I figured why not.” He smiled. He isn’t going to be too happy to know I stole the keys again though. He had a feeling that Zachary was going to scold him for stealing his brother’s house keys again. It had to be the third time that Cameron was sure that he was going to get caught having doing it.

The two of them had been together for awhile but their relationship was still a secret. Most of the time when Adam was out they used the guest house to spend some time together. Once she was done stretching, Ty nudged the door open and walked back into the house. She was a bit too tired to even think of changing into her human form right then. Walking up to the couch, she climbed onto it and laid down with her head resting on Cameron’s leg as she let out of a small grunt. 

The blond had his own room, yeah, but his mother was really strict and he didn’t even get his own television. He had been offered one once, but it was far too small – his computer worked as a good enough machine to watch dvds on though. “What have you been up to?” Cameron questioned as he glided his fingers through her fur.

A laugh passed over her lips but it was soon cut off the moment that Cameron mentioned Junior going to live in the Victorian world. “What?” she asked, not covering up her surprise. “Your parents are actually going through with that?” She could easily remember Lorina and Zachary talking about but she thought it was more of a passive threat than anything else. But to hear otherwise was a bit shocking to her. “How’s Lottie taking it?” Probably not well, if Ty was to guess. From what she had seen of the twins they were able ever apart. Now for them to be forced apart, surely the female twin wasn’t taking it well.

Feeling a new weight on the cushion that she sat on Ty looked to her side as she watched Bandit hop onto the couch and then placed his head on her feet to sleep. Not minding the golden’s choice in a pillow, she reached over and scratched him behind the ear as she said, “Mhm, I can see that happening with Fi by the way she’s acting. But I hope you’re right because I can’t stand that series…” It sent a shudder down her spin whenever it was even mentioned. To live within a household that constantly watched the films, she didn’t know how much she could take.

“Uh, yes?” she said, not sure how to explain it. Sighing and thinking it best just to tell him the truth since he could just read her mind if he wanted to she said, “My race doesn’t exactly like them…My dad for one constantly refers to them as, “blood-sucking bastards,” and whenever there is one close to the village a fight usually ensues.” Shrugging her shoulders she then added, “Iomhar and I have dealt with a few due to work as well. I actually had to threaten a group of them by saying I’d kill Iomhar if they didn’t cooperate…” Pursing her lips she turned her head and gave him a pleading look. “Don’t tell your mom, ‘kay?” Iomhar had yet to drop how much he hated that situation and made sure she knew whenever it was needed, the last thing she wanted was for Lorina scolding her for her actions.

Leaning up enough to allow Cameron to move off the couch and get the DVD, Ty’s violet watched him as he looked for it as she absently continued to scratched Bandit’s ear.

He quirked his brow as she nodded his head. “Eh, yeah.” Was all that the Tylar boy could think of replying with when it came to her question… what was he to say? His parents were rather set on their decision; or his mother was. “I think what he was doing finally got over the top for Mum, you could hear the arguments from outside…” He rolled his eyes recalling how Junior reacted to Lorina attempting to sort it out before this threat of hers was final. “Never know, might do him good.” He doubted it, knowing his brother, but it could have been the making of him.

“He could stay there for all I care.” A lie. A very big lie – but given how Junior and Cameron’s relationship went half the time, it wouldn’t have seemed too farfetched for Cameron to say such a thing and actually mean it to be true. “I’m joking, you know, it’s just a bit difficult with how he’s made life around here lately.” Their mother had been really overbearing, especially with Lottie and him, since Junior began over drinking and sleeping around. He was really going to feel sorry for Fiona when she got older.

How’s Lottie taking it? “Not letting anyone know… I suppose.” He spoke looking at his girlfriend. Normally anyone and everyone would know everything on Charlotte’s mind but the brunette had been hiding her feelings upon her twin brother being taken away from her. “I’m sure that she’ll be fine in the end but she sorta closed up the minute she hear the news.” Charlotte and Junior had been inseparable, especially when they were younger. It really wouldn’t have surprised Cameron if Charlotte was to runaway to the Victorian world with Junior.

With the way that Tyra reacted to his choosing her with a pillow, Bandit growled – but it wasn’t a threat. If anyone was to know that, it would have been Tyra, he just simply loved being scratched behind his ear. He pushed his head forward a little as he enjoyed the scratching and began to wag his tail a little back and forth.

“Fi’s… forceful… and unfortunately very cute.” He spoke as he took the DVD from the box and began to kneel beside the played to put the movie into the player. He closed the drive, stood up and turned to Tyra once again. “She can manage to get anyone to watch anything with her… so I’d be careful if I was you.” He chuckled as he made his way over and sat back between the dogs. “One mutter of juju and she had Dracula watching the third movie with her the other week there.” He was glad it wasn’t him, but he probably would have ended up giving in too. It was just a shame that Fiona couldn’t like another movie series… something that they all could have enjoyed watching together.

He rolled his head a little to get rid of the slight pain in the crook of his neck. He got comfortable on the sofa and took his glass of juice in hand and taking a gulp. “Hopefully when she’s a bit older Mum’ll let her watch that Bram Stoker’s Dracula movie, y’know the one with Gary Oldman and Winona Ryder?” He thought that would be a better example of vampires for his baby sister to watch. “She thinks she’s too young to watch it right now.” This was understandable, however, it was riddled with sex, but at least the book was good – and it was half the reason why he called Junior Dracula… he sort of looked like Gary Oldman too – as much as he was sure Junior would hit him if he made that comment out loud.

I actually had to threaten a group of them by saying I’d kill Iomhar if they didn’t cooperate. Don’t tell your mom, ‘kay? At Tyra’s confession, Cameron’s blue eyes watched her as if to say ‘are you serious’. “Heh, Ty, I knew he got on your nerves but I never knew you’d go that far.” But again he had heard the millions of threats that had gone on between Maggie and her partner at the W.M.F Mayumi – who was actually Iomhar’s girlfriend. “Y’know this might sound random – but I like how much of a small world it is… Maggie being May’s partner and May living with Iomhar.” Seeing as the earthbender hadn’t allowed Iomhar to pop the question yet… that girl could be so persuasive it was scary.

He took the dvd player remote in his hand and aimed it towards the direction of the player. He pressed the menu button and let the heinous amounts of adverts begin to play. He placed his glass of juice back upon the table and shifted once more to get comfortable before flashing Tyra a smile. “Do you want snacks, you know before the movie starts?” May as well make a proper little date out of this – it would be their first sort of date. With his school work and her work at the W.M.F goodness knows when they’d actually find the time to go out for a proper date.

Living with his mother was also going to prove a problem for both of them.

Opening her mouth to reply to his comment about her nickname for him, Ty’s mouth shut when she realized what he complimented her. Blushing, she darted her eyes away from him as she allowed her white bang to cover her eye as she took another sip of her water. Her view on her scars might not have been the best but she did like them to some extent. It was just when people ended up gawking at them whenever her back was exposed that she didn’t like. It didn’t happen that much in her wolf form, something she was thankful for, but it did happen every now and then. Shaking those thought from her head she mumbled a thank you as her violet eyes returned to Cameron.

“Don’t worry,” Tyra said as she began to relax once again and flicked his nose playfully, “I can keep both of those promises. If I come up with a nickname for you then I want it to be unique. But…As a bit of a warning, my nickname might not be the best…” Well, if she was to use the nicknames that her parents gave another one as an influence. They had their own little petnames for another but the nicknames they used for one another made it seem they hated one another. “But I can definitely keep it from Junior.”

Feeling someone pet the top of his head Banner tilted his head up and licked Cameron’s wrist before the blond pulled his hand away. Moving closer to Cameron, Ty rested her head on his shoulder as she got comfortable. Listening to him explain about the family movie nights she couldn’t help but laugh. That sounded like her adopted family. “But not that surprised to hear that’s how the nights usually ended. It would have surprised me if Maggie managed to sit through a romance film.”

But a groan soon came out of her mouth the moment she heard what Fiona had been doing. Maggie had warned the demon about it but she had hoped that it was only a small phase. What Cameron made it sound like it wasn’t. “I know…Maggie told me about it. I just…I don’t understand how anyone can believe that vampires are like that. I mean, they are fairly attractive and they’re forbidden from drinking on human blood unless they go through a shit ton of paperwork…But that’s it. Nothing else in that book is true.” Realizing that she had basically rambled, Ty crossed her arms across her chest and looked at the far wall. She didn’t mean to do that it just simply happened. 

But I can definitely keep it from Junior. Cameron moved his arm around the back of the sofa, looking at her once more as he gave a smile. “Great, that way I don’t have to take his teasing every single hour of every single day – but with Mum carting him off to the Victorian world, I don’t have to worry about that so much anymore.” He wasn’t sure if Tyra had heard about what the Tylar family had decided to do with his older brother, but he would tell the demon if she inquired. It wasn’t like Cameron was surprised – Junior was being sent away for an obvious reason. “You know, the same world Mum comes from.”

He pressed his lips into her forehead the minute her head came in contact with his shoulder. Already he was enjoying this – and the dog that was making himself comfortable between them. He was beginning to get used to having Banner around; even if the little puppy was being a bit of a pain in the neck for his own dog Bandit. Bandit was around since Cameron was a child - he was always going around terrorising the other animals that his mother took in. And right then, thinking of Bandit, decided to come into the living room and plop down in front of the sofa. The golden retriever placed his head upon Tyra’s feet as he closed his dark beady eyes in hope for sleep.

But not that surprised to hear that’s how the nights usually ended. It would have surprised me if Maggie managed to sit through a romance film. “I know, but I think Mum kept hoping she’d turn into a girly girl like Josie and Lottie… she was lucky she got two girly girls – and that Fiona seems to be turning that way too.” Even though it didn’t seem to be for the good… the little blonde and her fascination for vampires and twilight seemed to be getting on everyone’s nerves but the parents… and that was mostly because after raising six other children Lorina and Zachary were good at ignoring when needing. Or not exactly ignoring but tolerating…

“I think she’ll grow out of it; I’m sure it’s just a phase… you know like me and Thomas the Tank Engine, I can assure you I no longer like him.” Cameron laughed, he was sure that it was just the lack of decent children’s programs now a days. There was nothing like there was when he was younger. Those shows were quality compared to what he’s been forced to watch when keeping his seven year old sister company. When Tyra began to go on about vampires he raised his eyebrow and looked at her slightly impressed. “You know a thing or two about vampires I’m guessing?” Why didn’t that surprise him? He gave a small grin. “I’m impressed, you certainly surprise me.” In a good way, of course.

He moved up from the seat, careful not to disturb Tyra or either dog. “You could teach Fiona a thing or two.” He explained, pushing his hands into his jean pockets as he looked around the living room. He was certain that Zachary had asked Adam to keep the die hard boxset downstairs so that the whole family had access to it; but now just where did he put it? Making his way over to the bookshelf filled with DVDs that everyone in the family would watch he moved his fingers until he came across what he was looking for. “A-ha.” He spoke triumphantly before pulling it into his hand. “Here we go.” He spoke, waving the DVD. “Just what we’re looking for.”

Nodding her head she bit her lip for a moment as she thought for a few seconds. She trusted Lottie, she was sure that the girl wouldn’t tell anyone about their relationship. Ty stayed quiet as she listened to Cameron talk about his older brother. Keeping her arms around his neck, she once again began to gently play with the hairs at the nap of his neck. “I’m sure neither of them will tell anyone. As for your brother…” She paused for a moment before shrugging her shoulders. “I can’t say much about how your brother is. But I’m sure he has a reason for acting the way he does.” Hearing how he would even hurt his brother if he said anything about them. “I didn’t think you were the violent type.”

Once again Ty pursed her lips as Cam said his sister’s nickname for her. “Yep, that’s it…” She didn’t exactly mind it. Maggie was the only that called her that so it didn’t get on her nerves that much. But when Cameron stated that she was a wolf instead of a dog, it brought a wide smile to her face. She figured that he would know the difference but to hear him actually say it meant so much more to her. The moment his fingers entered her hair she tilted her head into his touch as she enjoyed the feeling of his fingers sliding through it. “Oh please don’t mention that,” Ty said with a groan. “I don’t like that since it would actually work…Even though the mark on my face looks more like a scar than a spot.” But thought of scars wasn’t something she wanted right then so she pushed the thought aside. ”I prefer Fang or Wolfie.” How could not like the nickname he had for her?

“Too obvious,” Ty replied teasingly. No, she wanted her nickname for him to be unique. One that only she would use. She was fine with using the nickname that his whole family used but she still wanted her own just for him. “For now I’ll stick with Cam. But when I do think of something for you then I’ll let you know.” Leaning up she pecked him on the lips.

The way that she reacted when he mentioned how Maggie might start calling her spot made the blond furrow his brow, which was a bad thing to say; he guessed. Especially with how Tyra began to say how it would work because the spot on her face was more like a scar. “But it’s still beautiful regardless.” The blond knew that Tyra didn’t like to talk about her scars – or think about them – but he wanted her to know he found her beautiful even with her scars. He didn’t linger on the conversation, he let it pass and flitter away – the more comfortable Tyra was in the moment the better.

I prefer Fang or Wolfie. The mere thought of Tyra preferring the nickname that he had come up for his love made her Cameron grin. “Really?” He voiced, although she had already answered by what she had said. He was rather surprised that she hadn’t come up with something to call him nickname wise but he was sure that she wold eventually. “Just as long as you don’t start calling me Lovely or something, that’s what my Dad calls my Mum.” He was sure Tyra would know that better than anyone. It was strange to actually say but his girlfriend knew his parents longer than he had! Then there was the fact they also used the term Darling – that was something Cameron didn’t mind so much.

Returning the peck that Tyra gave to his lips, Cameron wrapped an arm loosely around her waist; “Good, just you remember to let me know – so I can safe guard it from Dracula.” Even the smallest thought that Junior would use his nickname to tease him didn’t give Cameron peace of mind. He knew his brother better than Junior even thought that he did. If Junior was to learn that Tyra had her own nickname for Cameron he would use it to his advantage. Cameron moved his arm around her waist before pressing his nose into the top of her head before kissing her forehead. “Let’s go through.” He whispered, nudging her gently to the living room, knowing she was holding a glass of liquid in her hand.

He held her hands and led her through, sitting down on the sofa as she joined him. He glanced at Banner who had decied to join them – something he wasn’t opposed to, and also didn’t surprise him! The corgie sure liked to follow Tyra around and was like a son to her, so he could understand it… actually if anyone was to understand being clingy to Mummy it would be him. Everyone knew how clingy Cameron used to be with Lorina when he was younger. All the teasing he had received from Adam and Junior growing up because of it showed that to him. When she said that Die Hard was fine by him, he grinned happily. “Good, you know it’s about the only thing that me and my brothers can sit down and watch together?”

Well, actually, their father could too.

“Ah someone’s getting comfy.” He laughed as he moved his head on the top of the puppy’s head and clapped him softly before looking over at the television and scanning around the area for where the boxset that Adam had bought could have gone. But I didn’t’ think Adam was into those sort of movies. I always thought that he enjoyed documentaries more. “To be honest I think it’s more because Dad would watch it with us when we were younger.” He explained, “Mum and the girls would go and watch the Princess Bride together and Dad always thought none of us would enjoy it – so we’d watch something else, we’d watch the Die Hard movies… Adam would always end up going to join Dad in watching the Princess Bride – Maggie would sneak through and watch Die Hard with us.”

He chuckled at the memories; “Adam always ended up coming through and watching the movie with us in the end. I think it’s more because Mum starts swooning at the screen because the guy in the movie reminds her of Dad.” Although he had seen the movie too – he would agree, there was something about that actor that resembled their father. “Mum isn’t that big a fan of Die Hard, she, Josie, Lottie and Fiona would find something else to watch and the guys – and I’m including Maggie when I say that – would have a marathon of Die Hard… lately.” He cringed. “I think Fiona’s trying to get everyone to watch Twilight with her.”
