Hes lost in his mind

Chapter 8 : Stolen

I quickly caught up with the other potentials, as they were going really slowly, looking at everything as they went. I found them halfway down the second floor, where two rooms lay at either side.

"The one on the left is room one, the room on the right is room two- ah, 6."

Everyone turned to look at me with faces as hard as stone, and I found myself blushing.

"he was angry because I fainted - that's all."

They all looked pleased then, except Cat, my friend.

"he didn't hurt you, did he? For fainting, I mean?"

"no, not really. I've only got a bruise because I pissed him off,"

She still looked worried, but she smiled.

"OK, fine. I believe you."

"OK, ladies. Go get settled in - in two hours I will be outside your rooms. Lord Damien wants to remember each of you better - so he's got a way."

With that, she went off.

"so we went for 'sir' to 'lord'? How expensive is this place?"

"Pretty expensive," Cat murdered as she opened her door.

"oh, wow!"

The room was larger than my old room x10, an it had three enormous queen size beds, a huge walk in closet with so many clothes in them you wouldn't be able to imagine, each area labeled with 1, 3 and 4, and a huge bathroom, about double the size of my bedroom.

"wow," I murmured, and opened my room to see a complete duplicate.

"this is amazing!" 2 laughed, lying down on a bed.

"oh, sorry. Can I have this bed?"

"knock yourself out," I sighed, as 5 sat down on the bed furthest from the door, leaving me to sit in the mi ddle of the two.

"OMG, I can't believe we're here! I mean, we're competing to become Queen, and the wife of Damien! Isn't he hot?" 2 gasped.

"I know, right?! What do you think, 6?! Isn't it amazing?!"

"not really," I said. "it's not exciting at all."

2 and 5 stared at me, obviously thinking I was crazy.

"you don't want to be here? Why were you out today, then?"

I decided to tell them the truth. They were going to be my partners while I was here - we'd best get to know each other.

"I was on my way home before night feel, but my boyfriend, John, he... he was screaming down an ally, being changed into a vampire. He seemed to lose his memory's, and he started chasing me. Damien grabbed me as I ran."

2 and 5 stared at me for a second, and then said "he's so heroic!"

I sighed and leaned back on the bed.

"whatever. All it means is he's stolen me, and I WILL kill him for that,"

I closed my eyes, and thought for a minute. Why WAS i here? Why didn't I run straight home? Why hadn't the spell of my voice warn off? WHY WAS I HERE?

"6! 6! The maids here - we've got to go!"

I leaned up, head pounding, and went out into the hall.

"Potentials, follow me."
