"Tea might help."She heard a voice from behind and she jumped up in fear, her hand raised to her chest like as if to stop her heart from exploding out of her chest from how fast it was racing.She turned to see that there was a dark, tall man behind her, dressed like a butler. His eyes were warm, they had a glint of a brilliant red in them and they seemed to twinkle.How was it that she hadn't heard him coming?He stretched out a teacup to her."It is warm," she commented, nervously, taking the teacup from him with shaky hands. Something about his stare was absolutely unsettling."The Sire is an expert at what he does," he spoke, his voice sounding like someone who had seen too much of the world. "Your friend is safe."Safe, that sounded like a really interesting word because right now, she was starting to worry a lot about her whole safety. Then just as silently as the butler had appeared from nowhere, he disappeared.Wait, was this house hunted? She gasped, looking down at the t
She heard someone clearing their throat some distance behind them and Chris stepped away, looking back at whoseover that was.She looked back too, grateful for the interruption.For a moment there, she was scared things would go out of hand.It was Jett and it looked like he had something really urgent to say."You were right, Sire. It is him."Chris frowned, looking back at Elsa, his frown deepening by the second."I knew it. A trap!" Then he looked back at Jett, "he has been finding a way for me to be indebted to him since forever. By the Blood, he is a Bastard!" He paced, shaking his clenched fist in quick jerks."I wished there was a way to get rid of him already."Ivy flinched. She had never seen Chris this angry before."That is not all, Sire." Jett stepped closer to Chris. He seemed rather calm but his voice showed that he was just as angry as Chris was. "There is a meeting tonight."Chris stopped right in his track, clenching and unclenching his fists slowly."Making a move a
She scrolled up but that was the last one.Ivy blinked her tears away.She really felt lucky to have a Father like him, same with her Mother.They loved her, she knew. Their ways might be different or difficult, respectively, but they did love her.Just like Elsa did.She loved her differently but it was still love nevertheless. Elsa never really knew the best way to express love, she didn't have a lot of people that did the same to her while growing up, because of that, most of time, Elsa's ways of taking one for the team were always greatly flawed and sometimes, selfish.She pulled the pillow closer, remembering that her friend was down there fighting for her life. "Please, survive this."She knew that her situation with Chris was still mixed up and in a way he was already initiating that they were together, but she wasn't going to think about that. "We have to go to CorDavo together. I bet there are sexy greek gods there too. This time around, we won't pick the same guy."Then sh
She went into the room immediately. Trying to make sure that creepy Butler doesn't sneak up on her as usual. But what she saw made her heart race with fear and shock. The bed. It was empty! Where was Elsa?! Damn that Butler! Where had he taken her friend?! But her thought screech to an halt, when she heard the door, the one linking to the glassroom Elsa had been, pushed open suddenly. "I--vy?" A frail voice called out to her. Ivy turned around to see that it was Elsa. She was leaning heavily by the door, looking absolutely drained and the wires attached to her body were already yanked out. She was no longer in a dress but a blue gown that looked like the ones patient wore in a hospital. Damn! They had really put so much efforts into fooling her. That made her feel lesser of a fool, but a fool still! "Elsa? Oh my goodness, Elsa!" She ran over to her, pulling her closer, making Elsa lean against her instead. "You are alive! Alive!" She declared in a contained whisper. "Wh
Nah, absolutely not. Ivy hit the wheels again, swirling the car around to get Elsa off the hood. Finally she crashed into a pole of what could be said to be a sought of street light, making Elsa jump off while she jerked forward in the seat, the seat belt pulling her right back. She didn't give herself time enough to recover from the crash, she knew she was injured, she could feel it but this wasn't the time to assess the injury and check to what extent she had been hurt. She turned the key in the ignition but the car refused to start. Her heart raced. She banged her hands on the wheels. Not now, NOT NOW! Her hands were extremely shaky as she tried to start the car again, as she looked around quickly trying to see if Elsa had recovered from the crash and was now coming for her. She didn't have much time to get out of here and she knew it. Suddenly her car door got yanked away and she was snatched right out the car, those cold wet fingers once again around her neck while those
"I must look very stupid to you. A vampire? Really?" She laughed hysterically, standing up from the bed, passing by him, to dramatically pace around the room. "Not a failed scientific experiment, or-- even a successful one but a creature right out of a fantasy book?!" Shs clapped in sarcasm before she shot him a glare. "I absolutely believe you." Then she stopped and looked right at him, his face was serious and his lips were pressed together tightly. "Do you even know that those things are not real?" "Will you say that everything you had gone through tonight isn't real?" "Well, that still doesn't-- vampire? That is just ridiculous." Then her voice dropped low, "they are not real." "We are real, Ivy," he came close to her, slowly so as not to intimidate her, but she took a step back and he stopped immediately, "and not Amryelsa is one of us." Elsa. Ivy blinked, looking around quickly. She had only heard of them in fantasy books and seen them in movies. But with everything she
"I prefer this than being dead," then she added on a light tone. "Besides, do you have any idea how powerful I am now."Ivy rolled her eyes.Not this talk of power again."I could even snap you into two for stealing my boyfriend."Ivy's grip around the doorknob tightened immediately, her shoulders tensed."I didn't--""I know. I was only joking." She took a step forward and Ivy's eyes widened in alert, she must have observed that because she immediately retracted her step back to where she had been standing before.Seeing this, Ivy's grip on doorknob loosened, although her hand still held it."I owe you an apology. It was wrong for me to have tricked you like that. To have used you, used everyone. I'm so sorry that I lied to you. I know this might need some making up to. I'm ready to do anything. I also know that my outburst was terrible and uncalled for. You are my best friend. Best friends don't treat their best friends that way. Please, forgive me. Losing you is going to hurt me fo
She pulled herself up from the floor and walked to the bed, picked up her phone and called her Father, her phone pressed to her ear while it ranged lowly."Hello, Pa.""Isn't that my one and only lovely daughter?" His voice answered through the phone and immediately she heard her Mother's own, from a distance as usual."Isn't that my one and only daughter," she mimicked him sarcastically. "If you were half as passionate for the investors meeting we had today, how good that would have gone.""I could say the same about you in some other things," he teased. "When it comes to our daughter, I'm doing the work for the both of us, Sweetheart.""What?! No. Romito and I are as close as we are supposed to be," then her voice started getting really distant than it had started out to be, Ivy could hear some background noises like as if her Father was sneaking away, then she heard a door close silently.That confirmed it."I have escaped for now but she will come for me soon to make her point.
