Chapter 21

After their heart rates started to slow down from rolling all over the floor, Jezzebelle smiled at the empty doorway.

"I am glad to see Lord Alessandro not hiding away in some dark corner. I would be devestated after losing my husband to hunters."

Maddie looked off to one side, it had only been a few years ago when they lost her grandmother Isabella. Poor Alessandro had left Isabella at their house and went out to feed. Even though Isabella had been an Ancient, the attack came out of no where. Hunters had ascended to the house with an abnormal meaning a paranormal helped them locate the house. Apparently Isabella tried to fight them off but the rogue mage that was helping had somehow disabled Isabella's magic and the hunters were abled to drive a stake through her heart. 

By the time Alessandro had gotten back the hunters had cleared out, and the only thing Alessandro had left of Isabella was a pile of ash. He had when on a hitaus from the meetings for a couple of years trying to get over the death of his beloved. His family was abole to get him to not sccumb to the Blood thirst power and massacre humans. As it is high treason to lay waste on entire cities as it would draw the hunters attention. Belle remembered Isabella, she was the nicest Ancient she had ever met. She would always teach her a few tricks on how to get through her homework. 

It hurt the Citidal when she was killed. Ancients rarely get killed as they are extremly powerful so for one to get killed sent a shell shock through their society.

"So you never did tell me what happened with your training a couple of days ago. You know the training that has sent your mind into outer space and causing you to run into walls." Belle grimianced at her question and the wall running.

"I honestly thought nobody was around to see me make that mistake. Where the heck were you?"

Maddie's face got bright red, and she went over to her closet. "I was....um....at my locker." Belle got up and put her hands on her hips. "Maddie your locker is on third floor, I was on second floor. Try again." Maddie dissappeared into her closet and started to rustle around looking for her gown. "Maddilyn either you tell me or I am going to mind pick you in which you will not like!" Sighning Maddie popped her head around. "Fine I will tell you as long as you tell me what is going on with you. I hate how you are keeping secrets."

Belle looked at her and started to tap her foot as she was starting to get impatient. Maddie got out of the closet half dressed and took a deep breath. " I was talking to Alexander McField." Jezzebelle's face went extremley dark. "Maddie I have warned you to be careful. That family is bad news literally bad news. Please stay away from him." Maddie turned around and huffed. "Just because you have a problem with them does not mean I have the same problem." Maddie then realized she should not of had said that. Turning around she then apologized to her friend. "I am sorry Belle I did not mean that, I do not know what came over me." 

Jezzebelle went extremly silent on her, no matter how many times she warned her friend she had a feeling Maddie will never learn. Looking away from her friend she finally spilled the beans.

"The King and I sparred and he had made a bet with me, I lost. There is not much to talk about." Smiling she still remember that sweet connection between him and her. The image of him and her rolling around on the matt together gave her stomach the usual butterflys.

Walking over to her friend, Maddie waved her hand in front of her face. "Yoo hoo, I know your in there. I know something is up. Your acting like your mind went on vacation and it is having trouble coming back." Belle snickered and went to her bag where her clothes sat, she turned and smiled evily at her. 

"Oh yeah something is up, and I am not telling you."

"Why not!"

"Because you might get grossed out."

Holding her hands underneath her chin, she started to beg and whine like a dog. "Come on, I am your best friend we usually tell each other everything."

Belle hopped into her undergarments and put on her hoop skirt, she turned to face her friend. "Fine I will tell you but you need to promise me one thing and that is to not run your mouth to anyone about what I am going to tell you!"

Maddie jumped from the seat she had taken and got to her feet. She held one hand to her heart and smiled with her fangs out, nodding with pleasure.

"I promise with all of my black little heart, that I swear I will not tell a soul about what you are going to say to me."

Jezzebelle raised an eyebrow, and slowly approached her friend. Cupping her hand up to Maddie's ear, she began to whisper. Maddie's mouth dropped down and her eyes got very wide. 

"OH MY GOD! NO WAY!
