Chapter five: Protect The Princess

Sorry for taking so long to update guys, but here's the next chapter. I hope you guys enjoy it and please let me know what you think. Have a nice day/night/evening/ :)

I stood there ready to protect my mate at all costs. I felt comforted that my brother was willing to do the same. He was crouched ready to attack. I know he felt the danger as much as I did. This is not going to be good. The door flung open and a tall skinny woman stepped in looking very mad. She looked like Roxy except her hair was very blonde on the verge of white. It looked like she had bleached her hair a lot. You seriously have to go getting in a fucking accident?! Do you know how much this is going to cost me?! Ill be labeled as a bad mother and have to keep up with your shit while youre unconscious!! Jesus you cant do anything right!! The woman yells looking at Roxy and an animalistic growl escapes my throat. I feel my beast trying to take over and kill this woman for talking to our mate like this. How dare she? She has no right to speak to our angel in such manners. My beast agrees with me trying to get me to let her take over. This is another thing that is different from myths about vampires. We have beasts and they do take over, but they can talk to us like a voice in our head. They are just like us just more beastly and they listen more to their heart and primal nature. The woman took a step towards her and it took everything not to snarl at her. Me and Titus put ourselves between her and Roxy still crouched. You have no right to speak to her like that. She didnt make this happen. She didnt choose for this to happen and she sure as hell probably doesnt want to be like this! I snarl at her feeling my anger rising by the second. Who are you to talk to her like that? Who are you to call yourself her mother? Youre no mother and certainly not to her. You have no right to sit here and judge her for an accident that she couldnt control. You cant call yourself her mother when you are more worried about yourself than your own daughter who is in a coma and could die. Titus said calm and coldly. Thats how he is in situations like these. He hides his anger and acts like a calm person when I cant. Most of the time I can except when it involves family or my mate. He still always makes it clear when he doesn;t like someone. I will say what I want as I am her mother and guardian. I dont care what you guys say. Who are you guys anyway? She spoke between gritted teeth that just fueled my anger. If you ever paid attention to her and talked to her you would know who we are. But no one would expect anything less of someone so egotistical. Oh Im sorry, am I using words too big for you to understand? I said to her in a patronizing manner. I saw her clench her fists as she took another step towards me. Before I could even react or tense up Titus was in front of me with his arms crossed as he looked down at the woman. Are we going to have a problem? Because if so you will speak to me first and I can promise you wont get past me. He says in a dangerously low voice. I hide the smile that fights to appear on my face. You have yet to introduce yourself. It is customary to introduce yourself before speaking to people you dont know. Were you not taught manners? He chuckles low. Of course not I should have guessed. Anyway my name is Titus and this is Artemesia. He speaks clearly, still standing in front of me. I can take care of myself, but I appreciate him being protective. My name is Venissa. As you know by now I am Roxys mother. She huffs as she crosses her arms. She has to be the rudest most immature person Ive met. She proves me right every second she continues speaking. Alright, now that pleasantries are out of the way we can be serious. You may be her mother, but we arent letting you anywhere near her. You need to leave she is in a fragile state right now and when she wakes up you are the last person she will want to see. Titus speaks with authority leaving no room for argument. Of course Venissa has to try as she decides to argue back. I will leave when I want. You have no control over me and she is my daughter. I have every right to be here. Titus clenches his fists his arms still crossed. You may be her mother, but when you act like that and put her in more danger when she is injured you dont have a right to be here and can and will be asked to leave. Now leave or I will call security and Im sure they wont be gentle and will ban you from coming back if I ask. Titus smiles politely with a dangerous glint in his eyes. She takes a step back. I will be back and I wont be as nice. She utters as she turns around and walks out the door slamming it behind her. I wish that door would have hit her in the back of the head and knocked her on her ass. I laugh at him stepping out in front of him. Really? I was wishing something much worse. I growl and glance at Roxy then turn back to Titus. You and me both sis. He sighs and we both look at Roxy. You think she will wake up soon? I mumble sadly as I remember our last encounter and conversation before the accident. God I miss her voice. I miss everything about her so much. I would do anything to make her better again and see her smile at me. My heart clenches painfully as I picture her smiling at me. This hurts so much I dont think I can take much more of this. Please wake up soon princess. I exhale deeply as I look at the ground. I clench the part of my shirt thats above my dead heart as the pain worsens by the second. I knew seeing your mate injured and the thought of losing them would hurt bad, but I didnt know it would hurt this bad. How could a dead heart hurt anyway? I have no clue. Im brought back from my thoughts by Titus calling my name repeatedly and shaking my shoulders. Huh? I stutter confused as I look up at his worried eyes. What do you mean huh?! You were standing there crouched and clutching your chest for a few minutes and werent responding when I kept calling your name. He remarked worriedly. Sorry I was lost in my thoughts. I mumble looking away avoiding his eyes. I reach for the huge black and red lunch box and unzip the top part looking in. There are a lot of plastic bottles full of blood. The strong smell of it hits my nose and I feel the burn in the back of my throat intensify. I grab a bottle and set the lunch box down as I take the cap off pouring some into my mouth. Warm liquid runs down my throat dulling the burn as the sweet taste fills my mouth. A breath of relief leaves my mouth as I sit back down next to Roxy and gulp down the bottle throwing it in the trash. I take a deep breath exhaling heavily as I lean back in my chair. Uh sis? You got a little something on your lips and chin. He states chuckling at me as I quickly lick it off. Yea yea laugh it up. I grumble crossing my arms. I huff as his chuckle turns into a laugh at my reaction. Glad to see youre feeling a little better. I hear a small smile in his voice as he says that and I glance up at him. Somewhat better. I just want her to wake up. I half whine. I hear a sigh and feel arms wrap around me. I know sis. You arent the only one. I jump up wrapping my arms around his shoulders as I dry sob into his neck, my eyes full of tears that wont fall. I swore to protect her, but look at her now. Shes in a coma and I wasnt able to stop it from happening. What kind of mate am I? As if reading my thoughts Titus growls at me. You couldnt have prevented this from happening. You protected her the best you could. Yes, shes in a coma, but if it werent for you she would have died. You saved her life, now shes just healing and recuperating. Shell wake up soon okay? Dont beat yourself up over something you had no control over when it wasnt your fault. It was that drunk drivers fault. I nod into his neck and relax some. Hes right I know he is, but I still feel guilty and responsible. I also know that is to be expected since she is my mate. I am shaken from my thoughts by the heart monitor speeding up and in the blink of an eye I am beside Roxy looking down at her worriedly. I look around frantically trying to figure out what is wrong. Please please be okay. I cant lose you princess please be okay.
