Janelled paled and stepped away. Her friends let go of Belle and stepped away her causing her to fall to the ground.
Aurelie was said to be as old as the King ….and his mother. Sher was ruthless like her son, ruling her class with an upper fist and she one of the High Council Memebers that assist in keeping the Elites in line.
“You four report immediately to His Majestys office at once!”
Hery voiced boomed so loud it echoed it the room. The girls curtsied to Aurelie showing the respect and then scampered off.
“The remainder of you are being moved to the next class over leave since none of you bothered to help break up this fight!”
The rest of the class jumped at her commands and left her alone with Jezzebelle. As everyone was out of ear shot she jerked her head around and looked at Jezzebelle with narrowed eyes.
“Jezzebelle what were you thinking! Your still in your human phase. She could of majorly hurt you!”
Aurelie rushed over to Jezzebelle, gently she helped her to her feet.
“Forgive me Your Radiance but when someone starts bad talking about my mother and thinks just because my father is a council member that I get special treatment.”
Aurelie shook her head in dissapoinment, knowing that was true. The Council members only push young Jezzebelle because they had expectations of her being great. Her mind is advanced further than the Elites. Her father is hoping that one day she would replace him on the seat and serve with the High Council.
Lifting Jezzebelle shirt midway, Aurelie saw the bruises. Jezzebelle always admired her she had the same eyes as the King but instead of blonde hair her hair held the blackness of the night.
Sighning Aurelie pulled her shirt down and looked at Belle.
“Your father will be extremely upset at you for condoning even alittle bit of violence.”
“I know and I will take my punishment as The King and him see fit.”
A voice broke out over the two which caused Jezzebelle to look over Aurelie’s shoulder
“Belle what in the world did you do?”
Raja was another High Council Member and a teacher in the Warrior Class. He originally came from Egypt and you could tell. His skin held the desert heat along with his brown eyes. His hair was in braids along side his back. His wife Lilabet, she had beautiful long brown hair that was straight. She was very good at teaching the children how to maintain their majics. Her brown eyes held the years of Bloodthirst.
Raja had been teaching her how to defend herself in any situation. Considering some familys think they are more pureblood than her. Sometimes she hears the whispers among the Familys calling her a half breed or Mongrel. Knowing that some of the familys hold such a grudge some of the Council members thought best for her to learn.
“Do we know what happened?”
Aurelie shook her head, staring at Jezzebelle while she did it.
“The only thing I am getting is that the group of girls were talking smack and Jezzebelle snapped, the girls made her go berserk when they started to talk about her mother and her status in the Citidal. I would get mad too if someone started talking about my family like they did.”
Jezzebelle looked at Aurelie with a look that told her everything.
“Your Radiance, your son would take care of that problem if anyone was to run their mouth about your family. His Majesty doesn’t take kindly to that talk.”
Smiling Aurelie shrugged her shoulders and looked at Belle.
“You are not wrong on that point. My son does not take kindly to things like that. I wish sometimes he would take a wife. So that way he had more help controlling these nasty familys.”
Raja walked away to go find a wheelchair so that way Jezzebelle didn’t need to walk all the way down to the office.
“To be fair I think he probably is still better off not having one though. I honestly think he should marry one he would trust, and love. I know he is capable of it even though he does not show it.”Turning to face Jezzebelle, Aurelie smiled sadly.
“You have to be in my shoes though Belle, there is not a day that does not go by that I crave to hold a grandbaby. To see my line go forward and officially see the Valliancourt line go forward.”
Jezzebelle tried to imagine the King as a …..um father. To her he probably glare and growl at his offspring and make them into robots or something. Her face had showed her thinking of it because Aurelie put her hands on her hips and raised an eyebrow.
“Let me guess your trying to imagine Zephyr as a father?”
Grimancing Jezzebelle looked at Aurelie.
“My face showing it is it?”
“Yes.”
“Sorry.”
Aurelie looked at Jezzebelle, she then lightly punched Belle in the side. Belle grabbed her side knowing that the Ancient did it on purpose.
“Owie!”
“Sorry my hand slipped.”
Raja timed it perfect and came with a wheel chair.
“Hop along buttercup, get in the chair so we can take it down to the office.”
Sighing she obeyed and got into the chair. Going to the elevator they took it down.
Raja side glanced at Aurelie and opened the telepathic channel between them
“What the hell Jezzebelle knows better than to be showing her force to the adolescents elite. Espically when half of them have there heads up their asses.”
Jezzebelle slowly turned around and looked at Raja.
“I heard that.”
Raja’s mouth hung open at the surprise.
“Well its true! And when can you hear other channels!”
Getting off of the elevator they turned around a corner and headed down a ramp that as soon as they were down they turned another corner and the office had its own hallway. Lilabet was waiting at the door leading into the office, like her husband her sking was almost a dark chocolate with a beautiful color brown hair.
She stood there shaking her head at the trio approaching.
“Playing with fire lil cub?”
Looking down at her hands, she now knew if Lilabet knew then more than likely her father knew.
Music started up and others around the room started to mingle into their social groups. Maddie was giggling at something her father had said. Jezzebelle kind of was a little jealous.She and her sister had to be behind their father, standing at his side setting the example of strong and respected. Even though majority of the families whisper nasty things about her and Anna. They will never tell it to Lazarus face but the girls heard the whispers through out school.Sometimes she felt frozen in time, standing up on the platform next to her father. Like a doll that sits staring into space wishing for escape. A chuckle went through her mind."A doll ma petite. Non more like a predator waiting to strike it's prey." Snickering, Jezzebelle shook her head."Oh yeah and you are what? A peacock ready to strut his feathers?"The King snickered up on his throne causing several people to look up at him including Lazarus. Zephyr noticed and wiped his face clear of any emotion."Ha! Careful or you
2 hours laterJezzebelle felt nervous, she did not know why. She wanted to be noticed by someone. More than every she was very curious to see if she would get The King's attention and get a dance out of him. He normally does not move from his throne when it came to balls.Her heart sped up, she was wondering what it would be like if he ever asked her on a date. What the heck am I thinking, he truly has not shown any affection to anyone. If I were to ask him, he would probably just laugh at me. Besides, I am just a half breed according to all of the stuck up purebloods. Maddie's family were lined up in front of her. Her grandfather was in front followed by Mad's mom and dad. Alex was next to Maddie. As if she knew that she was looking at her, Maddie turned around and smiled very evilly at her. Belle wiped her face of emotion and just stared at her and shook her head no. That caused Maddie to laugh making the black feather on top of her head bobble. Alex was confused as to what was goi
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
2 days later"You ever wonder how or who comes up with these themes for the dances. I mean dress as a devil or a queen! Like I want to look like a demon or wear too much jewelry trying to out rank those who think being a queen is all that is."Belle snorted at her friends remark on that one. "Come on Mads, we know what all the Ladies are going to go for. Besides I think High Council Member Aurelie and Amelie are the ones who prep and give suggestions since there is no queen to do it."After the events that happened at the hall, Belle needed a break so she had asked her mom if she could stay at the Moretti Manor. Her mother knew Maddie was Belle's only friend besides Alexander who was too shy to truly talk to her but still did her loads of favors. Yesterday at school was so bad she could only concentrate on one thing and that was the rustling with the King on the matts the other day.Her mind had been on auto pilot that she ran into a wall with her shoulder. Also she was not paying att
Belle felt like she was completely lost on this. She shot a glance to her father, showing the worry on her face."I am sorry baby. I do not know what is going on with him. But I can not stop this. It is out of my hands with him being the authority."He looked at her with the sadness in his eyes. He did promise her freedom but he knew completely that there would never be that choice. As she was way too powerful, some Ancients actually fear her. "It is okay pappa. I knew pretty much I would not have my freedom due to my power level. I was hoping though by some miracle that I could just float into an abyss and escape this madness."Getting off the floor, she dusted off her knee caps and bowed to the King. "I understand Your Grace." She remained in her bow until the King was going to excuse her from it. He waved his hand in which she straightened up from it.She walked over to her father, who in turn kissed the top of her forehead. Smiling sadly up to him she took a deep breath."You will
Jezzebelle could not believe what she had just heard. The King just mowed over any possibility of her just having simple freedom. She now had to fight for it. She stood there like a deer caught in headlights, her mouth opening and closing like a fish gasping for oxygen.Her father noticed and started to growl, knowing full well he could not protect her from this. Even though he gave the King the right to watch over her, he still was not ready to let his baby go. Especially to a very old vampire with a nasty reputation of blowing his head all over the place. Not that he did not have the same problem but he learned to be patient with his daughters.Lazarus tilted his head he saw that his eldest was thinking of something, her eye's held that certain color that told him she was thinking of a counter move. Belle in her mind was thinking of another way. Anything Head or Higher was scary. Most of all those in the Council were above five hundred years old. A thought then clicked in and she th
