"No one will be touching Kendra." Nick said, and the man stopped dissapointedly and I let out a sigh of relief.
"well, not until you find her sister." he added with an evil smirk. My heart sank.
"but we all know she won't be coming." the creepy one said.
"yes, and that's why you are all going to go hunt her. I want her and those three brats who chose to disobey me . Now the meeting is over. you may all leave, and remember, we want the girl alive. her acquintance though, don't matter." Nick said and they all bowed and then left.
"can we head back to your office now?" I asked.
"why? so you can flirt with your guard?" he asked, still sounding cold. wait, so he noticed. but that wasn't what was on my mind right now.
I had bigger issues at hand. all my hope was resting on the fact that kara will trade that dumb stone for me, but obviously, she made her choice and now I have to make mine. I have to find a way out of here without waiting for a miracle like kara or Zaid.
"Stop thinking about leaving this place kendra, it's not going to happen. you are going to stay here weather your sister gives the stone or not" Nick said, destroying my thoughts of escaping. once again, making me give up hope. if there's anything I hate most about vampires, it's the fact that they can read minds.
"but why, what do you want me here for. I'm useless remember?" I said feeling hurt, hoping he would see the fact that my sister won't save me. and I'm nothing but a burden in a cage.
"yes, I am aware of that, but i enjoy having a pet miss kendra." he said while checking something on the laptop.
"well, if you really want a pet, why don't you get a freeking dog, you jerk." I said in frustration, because seriously, keeping me here was just a burden. he dosen't even like me to start with,and I don't like him either. who keeps a pet that they don't like! ughh.
"can you at least charge my phone? the boredom is killing me."
"no!" he answered not paying much attention to me.
"why?"
"why do you have to treat me this way, it's not like I'm going to call for help or something. I just want to see what's going on in the normal world. scroll through instagram, and maybe I'll have my sanity back." I pleaded. but he didn't even look at me. I kept waiting for him to say something but he doesn't, he just keeps working on his laptop.
I was about to grab his collar from where I was but was interrupted by the sound of the door opening.
"your majesty." the slightly familiar voice echoed.
"I hope i'm not disturbing your peace." wait i f**king recognize that voice. I can recognize that voice anytime and anywhere. that voice, it used to have that pathetic niceness attached to it, but now all I can hear is boldness. the voice makes me angry anytime I hear it. the f**king bitch traitor. CHLOE.
"you see your majesty, I would like to speak to you about my promotion." she said in that same old icky voice.
"excuse me what promotion?" Prince Nicholas asked, still staring at his laptop.
"your highness, it's me Chloe." she said, with a little hint of dissapointment.
"Excuse me?" Nick said, _not in a rude way_ but in a tone that shows he dosen't know what she was talking about and also dosen't care.
"I captured one of Ambers daughters, with Zaid and, Blake." she said, this time not hiding the fact that she didn't like the idea of Nick not remembering her.
Nick on the other hand, didn't say anything to her introduction, he just kept doing his thing with the laptop. totally ignoring her.
"Prince Nicholas" she started, but stopped immediately, I don't think it was because she had nothing to say, rather it was the way nick glared at her, in an intimidating way, as if she has done something wrong.
"your majesty" she corrected quickly, that's when I actualised that, no one has ever called him by the name Nicholas, no one except me of course, in fact, no one ever calls him by any of his names, they all just go for _your highness_. oh Chloe must be in a huge mess right now, considering the death glare he's shooting her.
I'm sure she came all the way here to make a move on him, but she ended up dooming herself._ha ha_
Instead of ripping her body, Nick just ignored her, burying his head fully in the laptop.
"I just want to inform you that I captured her because it's my duty, not for a promotion of any sort." she said.
I can't believe she's playing the _loyalty card_ ughh.
"Miss, you should meet with the colonel and discuss whatever it is that's on your mind." The prince said barely looking her way.
"You are excused" he added this time raising his head a little.
But Chloe didn't seem to get the message, she looked determined and the way it is, I'm sure she got to the prince with a lot of difficulty, no one would let her just walk into the prince's meeting hall without an appointment.
"Your Highness, peharps you don't understand" she said as she started walking in a stupidly, yet seductive way.
The clothes she had on were just perfectly as seductive. She walked closer to him slowly, biting her lower lips and raising her dramatically short skirt. No one had to tell me that she was trying to seduce the Prince, and trust me if I was the Prince it'll work like a charm. I don't think anyone can resist Chloe, not even Mr arrogant over here. she's pretty and also has this thing about her that makes her look hot.
She slowly made her way to where he was seated putting her hand on his chest.
Nicholas just looked at her with a blank face, void of emotions. I really want to know what is going in his head but his face wasn't giving any clues. I can't tell if he likes what he's seeing, or feels disgusted or doesn't care. It's impossible to tell what Nick is thinking ever.
She started unbuttoning his shirt slowly while looking at his still blank face. I could see the look of victory painted all over her face. It just makes me feel sick.
Then I heard a huge *bammm*
Yhup, that was the sound of Chloe hitting the wall on the other side of the room.
What the f**k just happened? I don't know. What I do know is Chloe went flying across the room and right now is on the floor in a disfigured manner. And Nick didn't even lay a finger on her, how on earth did he get her in that position without touching her, or even looking at her. What type of sorcery is that?.
Chloe didn't seem to give up, because she stood up, ignoring the fact that she was dramatically rejected, and walked right up to Nick, then said, "your Highness, we can make this work out in some other way, I'm sorry if you didn't like my approach. But I think you are not getting the message."
She looked so desperate at the moment that it was making me feel nauseous.
"I think the only one who isn't getting the message here is you.
Nick's literally telling you, you are not his type.!" I said from my cage, making Chloe, who haven't noticed me this whole time stare at me with a killer look.
But I didn't flinch, I was aware she wouldn't be able to hurt me since I'm the prince's little pet.
"Nick?" was the only thing she said. Obviously surprised that I have given their Almighty prince who almost killed her for calling him Nicholas, a nickname. But hey, I don't blame her, even I am surprised that I have given him a nick name.
"Leave now or leave dead" nick growled like a beast, this sent shivers down my spine even though I knew he wasn't talking to me. Chloe leaped hurriedly to the door and opened it, then she faced me and snarled before disappearing.
"Now that was entertaining" I said, as I relaxed on my bed. Nick raised a brow at me in a questioning way.
"Well, it's not every day I get to see a seduction drama." I said trying to prove my point. and it is true, not everyday.
.
The moon is shining bright and the sky was lit with stars. I peeped through the window and enjoyed the amazing view.
"Let's go." Nick said, and for a moment I wondered why he will inform me before leaving a place. It's not like I had any choice, my cage would follow him no matter what.
We went out of the castle and started strolling out. And for the first time, we were actually leaving the walls. The castle is soo big that even when Nick wants to feed, he doesn't leave the walls as there are many wild animals in there to feed from. But today, we were leaving the walls. Seeing the outside world might lighten up my mood, even though there's nothing to actually see here, just a thick dark forest. But it was still better than staying in the castle.
Nick didn't say a word he just walked in silence and I, or rather, my cage followed suit. He started moving in a slow unusual way and it got me wondering what was wrong.
'Nick?" I called out bit he shushed me.
That is when I saw what he was trying to do. He was trying to feed, there was a deer right there in the bushes and he was trying to catch it. I watched him intently and just when he was about to catch it, I closed my eyes.
The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was Nick licking the blood remains on his lips.
"Next time don't close your eyes. That was your first lesson." He said sternly.
"What? Are you trying to teach me how to be a vampire. There's no way in hell I'm going to do that. Ever!" I said staring at him.
"Correction, I'm preparing you. You are a half vampire who's already coming of age, you will come rushing for blood sooner or later." He replied as he made his way towards the castle and I followed.
His words ringing in my head
