part 20
"Thank you, Sir. Now may we go upstairs? I have some unpacking to do." I lied. Why am I doing this? Can't I just let Alexander and his dad battle it out? Why am I saving his ass again?
"Of course. There is nothing else scheduled for tonight, so he is allowed to leave. Just make sure you're with him." He ordered. "And please refer to me as Leo. Since you're protecting my son, you're like family now." He added. Great, one bad family wasn't enough?
I just smiled and nodded my head. With that, he left to do King duties or something.
Anita looked between the two of us. "I don't know what's going on, here, but I saw that little handshake. I'm watching you two." She said, eyeing the both of us. What?
My jaw dropped and Alexander just chuckled. "There's nothing to worry about, Anita. Don't you trust me?" He asked, using his beautiful smile and gorgeous eyes on her.
She sighed. "You're too damn cute." She muttered. Ha, you're telling me. "Fine, fine! You're off the hook for now. But I'm telling you, be careful and don't do anything stupid." She warned, before turning and leaving. Haha I like her.
I brushed past Alexander on my way to his room. "So I know what I'm going to ask of you for my favor, but I'm telling you that you won't like it." I told him as he walked beside me. His eyes got dark, but he looked ahead. Okay, so I probably made it sound a lot worse than it actually is. I mean, it's just my sister. He's probably worried I'm going to have him do something else, because basically he has to do whatever I want regardless. I mean, he doesn't have to, but he will. Because he actually follows rules and will go through with whatever he had promised. Too bad I'm not actually going to use this for something REALLY good...
"What do you want?" He asked, as we entered his room.
I sighed. "For you to set up a good couple of hours this week to meet my little sister." I said, quickly.
He did a double take. "That's all?" He asked, surprised. Well, I could always add stuff...
I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, that's all. Unless you want me to make a list." I said, smiling.
He sighed in relief. "No, it's okay. I'd love to meet your sister." He said, politely. Hahah he says that now.
"Good. Then it's settled. I'm taking my break now." I said, happily. I went to get a sweatshirt from my bag when I felt an arm grab me. My first instinct was to flip over my attacker, but that didn't go so well since he brought me down with him. We both rolled over, fighting for control. With luck on my side, I managed to stradle him. "What did I tell you about touching me?!" I growled. It's not just because I hate his guts, but my first reaction is to attack! And clearly his is too, because he fought back!
He rolled us over so he was on top. Mmm...I just noticed how close he is...and how thirsty I am... "What did say about telling me what to do?" He retorted, angerly. His breath smells good...I wonder what his blood tastes like...is it just as sweet?
No! I have to stop or I'll bite him. I closed my eyes. "That's irrelevant. Get off, now." I said, quietly. The most weird thing happened...he listened!
I got up quickly and using vampire speed I had my sweatshirt on and my hair brushed and up. "I'm going to get dinner, I'll be back in an hour. Please, just stay here." I ordered. Did I really just say please? Oh god, I am truly hungry!
He smiled. "Sure. I'll just go through your stuff." He joked. Well, I hope he was joking. Why would he want to go through my stuff anyways? I don't have any sexy clothes or anything. Well, unless you count the lace undergarments as sexy clothing, but it's not like anyone knows I have that except Kiara!
I didn't feel like going through all the doors and hallways, so I just opened the window and jumped down. I could feel Alexander watching me as I gracefully landed on my feet and walked like nothing happened. Want to know if I have grace? Well I do! Are you surprised?
I ran to the border and got there just in time to see a business man walking in the streets. Well, stupid, you're now vampire food. I ran so fast to him it looked like I just appeared out of no where and in response he jumped. I smiled and retracted my fangs. He gasped. "Please, don't hurt me. I have a wife and two kids. I'm the only one working if you get rid of me then-" he rambled. "Shhh." I said, softly. "I'm not going to kill you." I added. He still looked nervous, so I used compulsion on him. Compulsion is a vampire thing. We can make our preys do what we want contrary to their will. Makes it easier on them and on us.
"This will only feel great." I purred. He relaxed even more and I leaned over his neck and tore open his skin. Warm, sugary goodness entered my mouth and I swallowed as much as I desired. As much as I was enjoying this, he was enjoying it twice as much. A vampire's bite is additive to humans. It's enticing. Well, until we reach the point where we start killing him. Then it hurts like a bitch and they kick and scream.
But, I wasn't going to let it get that far. Don't get me wrong, I have before (I hadn't eaten for days) and part of me didn't want to stop now. However, this man had kids. My father was taken away from me, and I just couldn't do that to those kids.
I slowly retracted my fangs, and licked the access blood to stop it from bleeding. After being bit by a vampire, the mark didn't just go away. No, it would be just like any other cut after. His body would have to heal itself. The venom would probably disable it from healing a bit longer than if he had just stabbed himself with an object, but it should be gone within weeks.
The human was still in a slight daze, and I picked up his briefcase he had dropped. As I handed it over, he snapped back into reality. And...he was grateful. "Thank you for not..." He trailed. It's not for you, pal.
"Get out of here before I change my mind." I said, coldly. I got what I wanted, no need to be nice.
The man ran off, and I was left alone with my thoughts.
The state of my life? Not good. I'm doing the most annoying task I have ever had, but I believe I have the upper hand so far. Still...Alexander is...well, what is he to me? I mean, I am clearly attracted to his body. He's very handsome.
But...there's so much I don't know about him.
And I don't like not knowing things.
I pulled out my cell phone and dialed Max's number. Max is an acquaintance. I was in the same training class as him, until I excelled further than him and eventually left him behind. We talk occasionally, but he's busy with finishing up his training and I'm so busy with working that we never really get to. "Hello?" Max answered.
"Hey, Max. It's Violet. You're still doing all the paper work and filling aside from training, right?" I asked. Max is also good with getting the stories not on paper. If there's any dirt, anything interesting about Alexander, Max can find it.
I heard a sigh on the other line. "You want me to look up someone, don't you?" He asked. Obviously!
"As a matter of fact I do. Please look up stuff on Prince Alexander, the angel."
"Oh yeah, I heard you're protecting him. Congrats, you'll probably get big money because you hate everything he stands for yet you're putting it aside for the better of all of us. Takes guts." Max commented. Yeah, everyone knows my views. But I never thought of it as brave for me to do that. Or that I'd get paid more. Huh...
"So you'll research him for me?" I verified.
"Of course. It'll take time to dig up everything about him, though. So it might take a couple months since I'm juggling other projects." He warned me. Well, it's better than nothing.
"Just as soon as you can. Once you complete your part, I'll owe you one." I told him. What can I say? I like being fair.
He chuckled. "Are you saying that to make me work faster or something? Taunting me with the fact that once I do something I'm good at, the famous, beautiful Violet Charest will owe me whatever my heart desires?" He asked. Yup, he's a bit dramatic like that. Amusing, maybe. But it gets old fast.
I smiled. "Famous and beautiful? Where the fuck is my award?" I joked.
He laughed. "I'll get the information you want and think up something you can give me in return. Until then, I'm sure you have something else you should be doing. So I won't hold you any longer. Bye, Violet." He said, happily.
"Bye Max. Thanks for your help." I said. I hung up and put the phone back in my pocket. I still had a half hour left, but I wasn't that thirsty anymore and I had no where to go. Guess I can go back to the castle... However I ran into a problem on the way back. The minute I smelt a rusty, decaying scent I knew what I was up against.
