vampires

chapter sixteen

"shall we began?" i glanced at billie who was already eyeing me intently. i nodded even though there was no option in whether i could say yes or no

the rest of the six council members stopped what they were doing and focused their attention on us

i felt myself become uneasy with the amount of eyes on me

he walked around me slowly examining me head to toe before standing in his original position

"don't be nervous, as long as you're not a threat you have nothing to worry about" he stated as he picked a piece of cotton off my dress

his voice was clam but that only made him even more intimidating than he already was

"i'm vladimir, son of lord kirigan and rightful leader of the council"

i had no idea what he was saying but i just smiled awkwardly, i have no clue who lord karen is or whoever he said. all i know is i zoned out staring at billie

"who is this?" he asked walking over to billie and standing oddly close to her face

billie took a step closer to him "the leader of hellivore's coven" billie spoke, vladimir began to laugh and the council members that were seated joined

it made me nervous how billie was trying to one-up him, but i couldn't say i was surprised

"you're far too young to lead anything, what are you? a century old?" he laughed softly "you're useless" he said before making his way over to me

"but you, you're far more important than she could ever be" he spoke grazing my cheek with his hand, i pulled my face away and furrowed my eyebrows

"one, don't talk to her like that- two, she's not useless ... especially in bed" i smirked and glanced over to billie who was already staring at me. her eyebrows were raised as if she was caught off guard but a smile soon spread across her face

"i see you can't take honesty" he shrugged, "but never do that again, you don't wanna get on my bad side" he scolded glaring at me

he turned around and began walking to his throne, his black overcoat blowing
in the when whilst his shoes clicked against the smooth marble floor

he was handsome really, his jet black hair slicked back with gel, his defined jaw and nose sprinkled with freckles, his cold silver eyes were intimidating maybe even more intimidating than billies

"follow" he stated

i glanced back at billie and she nodded before i began to follow him to his throne, he sat down and grabbed my wrist

he began moving his thumb in a circular motion on my wrist before eyeing billie who stood in the back of the room

he smirked at billie, pulled out his fangs and bit into my wrist

i tried to scream but nothing was coming out except silence. my mouth hung open and my eyebrows furrowed in pain. i began to wonder why billie wasn't helping me like she said she would

blood began oozing out of my wrist spilling onto the floor while some made its way down vladimir's throat. i tried to pull my hand away but he was too strong

i glanced down at him and he finally let go of my wrist, he stared at billie and smirked

"why did you do that?" i asked grabbing onto my wrist to stop the blood. billie sped over to me and put her mouth on my wrist for a moment

once she pulled away the blood ceased to flow out of my wrist

"you're new to this whole vampire situation aren't you?" i nodded to vladimirs question
