Rudolf stopped what he was about to do, throwing his head back, he laughed so hard his rips hurt. Catrina just looked at him wondering what was funny" what's funny” she asks pouting her lips and blinking her innocent eyes. “Your cute” Rudolf said pegging her cheeks.
" No Catrina I don't sleep upside down like a bat, though I do turn into one” Catrina's eyes widen in surprise" you do?” She asks.
To keep her curiosity at rest, Rudolf transformed to a bat flapping his wings and flying round the room before coming to stand in front of her, transforming back to his human self.
“Wow” she muttered in awe, she even forgot the fact Rudolf kidnapped her.
“ Okay, another question, do you have a beating heart?” Rudolf nod his head affirming, and he took hold of her hand to place it on his chest, so she could feel his beating heart.
" But I thought vampires don't have hearts that beat since they are, you know, dead” Rudolf just hum playing with her fingers. Catrina gingerly took her hand away from his hold and tugging a strand of her hair behind her ear.
" Well not all vampires have a heart that beats” said Rudolf looking at her attentively picking every detail of hers.
" Huh" she asks confused.
“ What I mean to say is not all vampires are like that, as in there are pure-blooded vampires and transformed vampires. Pure vampires are vampires like me who were born as vampires and these vampires have a beating heart and transformed vampires are vampires who were turned, as in humans who were made vampires. These categories of vampires don't have a beating heart, as they are killed after drinking our blood.” Explained Rudolf.
" Wow wonderful, vampires are cool, but not as cool as wolves” she said the last part in her head. Speaking of wolves (Terrick, please come here fast, I am getting worried and running out of ideas) she tried to mind link him, but he was unreachable.
" Any more questions?”
“Umm ahh yes, those the sun burn your skin? You know, like in Dracula untold, hotel Transylvania and the originals. All those movies and series shows that vampires can't stand the sun because it burns their skin"
" That's not true, all those movies tell a lot of lies, they don't know anything about us vampires. You watch a lot of TV Catrina, you've seen me under the sun beforein fact, I literally bask under the sun.” He chuckled after saying that.
" Huh that's surprising, but it's spectacular” she smiled
" I can make you a vampire, and we will be inseparable, and can live forever” his eyes beamed.
" Ahh Rudolf I want to avoid being a vampire, I love who I am” she said feeling scared
" But humans die easily, what if you fall sick and die? I want us to live forever until eternity”
" Rudolf no, I will not be a blood sucking demon” said Catrina half yelling out of fright.
" So you see me as a demon?” Rudolf ask feeling slightly hurt.
" No that's not what I meant Rudolf, I love you and will never see you as a demon. I love you for who you are, can't you do the same for me?” She asked fanning hurt.
" Of course I do, I love you for who you are”
“ Then why the need to turn me into a vampire? Something am not?”
“ Fine you stay the way you are” moving close to her, he pinned her on the wall and tried to kiss her again' there was no avoiding this one' Catrina thought. His lips were really close to Catrina's when a pop sound was heard and not too long after Rudolf went crashing into the wall, you can hear his bones breaking.
The twelve people pop up at the end of the city. Saphira took a strand of Catrina's hair covered in blood, she placed it on the ground and all three witches held their hands and scream" locandendere” the hair glow then went up the sky flying away. The wolves transformed and the witches cast a spell which will make them invisible as they hop on their back. The wolves chase the hair.
The hair flew until it reach an abandoned house, then disappeared. They stopped at a distance, waiting for Terrick's command. “ We can't go through the front door, he's a vampire and vampires have sensitive ears, so he would be able to hear us and eventually get hold of our scent, so we are going to just appear in side the room and surprise them.” Explained the Alpha.
The witches held their hands and disappeared again and appeared inside the building, where Rudolf is holding Catrina.
Terrick look at their proximity he grinds his teeth in anger and is that jerk trying to kiss my mate? He asked himself. Without thinking twice he moved to Rudolf pick him up and throw him to the wall where he crashed into.
Rudolf could not stop the attack because it was a surprise one. “ Grrr” he groaned trying to stand up. Looking at the wall, you can see a dent on it because of the force. Terrick was ready to go beat the hell out of him,, but Catrina stopped him by hugging him from behind and crying her eyes out. “ Terrick, please don't, don't hurt him just let him be, he doesn't know what his doing. His just blinded by his feelings” she said amidst her tears.
Without saying anything Terrick just turn and hug her back placing his chin oh her head. Not minding the people staring at them, he kissed her, tasting her salty tears.
Rudolf could not bare it, so he woke up and try to attack Terrick but Amodeny wasted no time in driving his hand into Rudolf's chest and pull out his heart. And like a bag of potatoes, Rudolf drop dead with his eyes wide open baring shock.
" Rudolf!!” Catrina yell, moving to his side and crouching down beside him. Her tears pour down like a stream. “ How could you? Who gave you the right? Who told you to kill him? Rudolf was my best friend, he was just blinded by his feelings for me”. Catrina yell.
" Stop it Catrina I gave the orders” Terrick said, not liking the fact that Catrina is shading tears for another man.
Without saying anything to him, she turned to her dead friend and close his eyes, and she dropped a kiss on his lip as a farewell gift to him before standing up and walking away.
Terrick had no right to make such a decision for her, she was the one who was kidnapped, and she is entitled to decide how the person gets punished and not him.
Terrick couldn't understand her feelings as he thought he was helping her well more like himself as now there's no one who wants his mate again.
Saphira followed her, just to make sure she doesn't do anything stupid. “Catrina” she called but Catrina just stayed silent, walking really fast. With no choice left, Saphira pop in front of her and crap her hand disappeared with her, taking her home.
