*Vienna's P.O.V.*
"Enough with the tears Vienna." Dark said as I finally pulled away from the embrace.
"Yeah, sorry and thank you for that." I said with a smile. "Do you want to go for a hunt?" I offered.
"Are you serious?" he said.
"Well, animal hunt, surely we can find a few." I said, standing up and dusting my clothes.
"Sure."
We walked a few meters away until we reached something like a barn. Yes, there were cows in there. Looking at each other with a smile, we surveyed the area. No guards. But there's a security system in the fence. Nothing a little witch magic can't fix.
Twiddling my fingers, I jammed the security alarm and Dark quickly leapt off the fence. He soundlessly opened the barn's door and guided a cow out. And we thought this was going to be easy, a loud bark was heard and I quickly jumped off the fence as well and silenced the dog. Apparently the animal cannot be compelled to shut up so I just casted a spell for it to be immobile and soundless. Luckily Dark already closed the barn's gates to prevent the other cows from coming out.
"Sorry dog." I whispered as we whooshed away with the cow, using Dark's incredible speed. Finally stopping on a woody area we both laughed.
"Well that was fun." he said and the cow mooed in response.
I chuckled. "Well yeah." Dark swiftly bit on its neck, ending the animal's life and sucking up the red liquid flowing in it. The air is filled with that metallic tang that the blood possessed and I crinkled my nose a bit.
"You want some?" he offered a beefy part and I accepted it, grilling it with my own fire. "First time I've seen beef cooked like that."
"It's called, automatic beef steak griller." I chuckled as I decided that it's cooked and used my wind to cool it off, see? Automatic.
"Hahaha, good use of power. I hope Amelle won't have much of a complain about our endeavor right now."
"Hahaha, I hope so too. I mean that was the first time we saw her right? She was pretty mad."
"And scary."
"Heh, but they sure are inspiring."
"The paranormal council? Hell yeah, they're amazing, their stand is motivational. In fact I was thinking, if I won't become human again, I'd like to join them."
"That would be great!"
Atleast I now know he had somewhere to go. We ate in a comfortable silence and small talks. Before we knew it, the sun's already rising and we had to part ways.
"We do have an invitation to go to Donegal in three days, we'll see each other there." Dark said as we reached the gate of Marcos' house in Killarney.
"Sure, we'll see each other there." with that, I journeyed back to the castle with not much of an anomaly. Until, I reached the room I'm supposedly staying at.
"So, you really had to come home in the morning." Brooklyn said as I hang the cloak I wore on a hanger.
"I told you so. Good morning to you." I said as I quickly gave him a peck on the lips and made my way to the bathroom, or is it still a loo?
"Really? Where were you?" he asked as the idiot followed me inside. I narrowed my eyes at him.
"Didn't you check your phone? I did not delete my message to Dark in there."
"So you met up with him? That late? And you come home only in the morning?"
"He's a vampire, when would you want me to meet up with him? When the sun's right above our heads?" I retorted.
"Don't play smart with me Vienna."
"I'm not playing, would you please get out of here? I need a shower."
"So do I."
Is this guy serious? He's frustrating me. And I am sleepy! My eyes widened when he started undressing down to his underwear. Wtf!
"What are you doing?" I asked as I quickly turned away. Although he has such a really nice physique, let's just not look at that and feel really hot and bothered, you know?
"It's not as if you haven't seen me before. And I'm taking a shower, what about you?" the bastard mocked.
I made a bottle of soap fly his way and hit his head. Good for him.
"I came in here first, you have to get out!"
"Let's just share." he said as I felt him behind me, close behind. "Now let me help you."
"Gibson..."
I felt him spreading feathery kisses on my neck as he did help me out of my shirt, then my jeans. He spun me around to face him when we're both half naked and snaked his arms around my waist.
"Shower with me sexy?"
"I thought that was baby?"
"Yeah, baby and sexy rhymes, so..."
After that quite steamy shower, we both decided to tour around the building because why not? There's nothing much to do here anyway, everyone seems to be busy, I actually contemplated on going back to being a servant here, that's more exciting than being a princess, I guess. So by instinct, I walked my way to the maid's chambers with Gibson following me.
"So this was my bunker when I disguised myself as a housekeeper." I narrated, pointing it.
"Oh, so that mission was actually for real huh?"
"It was, and this is the staircase we always use when we're doing chores, it comes pretty handy."
I told him everything that I experienced here for the very short time I was able to work here, a few memories of me and my namesake, Vienna, included.
"Not so bad." he concluded.
"Yeah, it's just that this place is pretty spied by vampires and all. You know." It is a topnotch castle after all. "I don't know what Marcos wants to do about that when he rules. "
"But he won't." We both spun around when Teressa just appeared out of nowhere and throws a series of knives at us which we dodged.
I quickly made a wind shield as Gibson tried his best to tie Teressa's hands to stop her from throwing anything else.
"Call someone." I instructed to a guard and it immediately jumped into action. But Teressa managed to escape and is now throwing punches, kicks, and other things at us. All we can do is dodge and not fight back, Marcos instructed us not to.
"Stop it mom!" that was Mark who appeared behind his mother and Molly who actually manages to tie her up.
"However did she get out of her room, I don't know, I'm sorry." she said as Mark disappeared with their mother.
"You locked her up?" I asked.
"Just until she calms down about dad's death." Molly answered.
"Oh..."
So I reckon, not everything is quite fixed just yet, that's why Marcos decided not to take any possession or position just yet. Smart move for him. Gibson and I just decided to go to the library after that incident, me reading some interesting journal and him on his phone. So, why we both are spending the day together, I don't know, but I guess it's to make up for the times we didn't get to spend this past few days.
"It's interesting how people can write about themselves, you know, their adventures and all." I said as I closed the journal and opened another one.
"Paranormal people have a lot of adventures. You do the same don't you?" he said nonchalantly.
"Yes, I do write about what's been going on with my life, how'd you know though?"
"I packed your journal, or more like a comic book, you do good with sketches too."
"Heh, they're nothing. Thank you for keeping the journal though."
"Read a few pages."
"Oh, which pages?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at his smug look.
"The one about an antidote for your feelings or something. You know?"
My cheeks heated at that. Ah, of course he had to read that part. Those times I was resisting the mate bond because it's pretty much one-sided.
"Yeah, now you saw all the trouble I had to go through because of you." I pointed out.
"Yes I did. Can't blame you if you don't want that trouble anymore." here we go again. Why would he think I'd not want him?
"About that, I talked to Dark. And already apologized to him." I said.
"Why?"
"Because I choose you. Us."
