His to Serve

Chapter Fifty-Five - A fuck up

I woke up early,not sleeping well after the events of last night continually ran around my head. I groaned rubbing my temples as I sighed and snuck out of bed. I pulled on a top and trousers as I ran down to do some training, something to try and get my mind off the voices constantly circling in my head.

I walked down the hall quietly as I decided to test my stealth, something I hadn't done in a while. Being stealthy was almost impossible in a place filled to the brim with vampires, I was unable to go anywhere without someone noticing.

I slowly jumped up onto the banister as I easily walked across over the top of the main entry hall, I gripped the side of the banister as I slowly climbed down jumping at the end and rolling over onto my feet as I looked around, still seeing an empty room.

I smiled as I walked out, already feeling a little better than I was before, the sunshine glowing on my face as I inhaled the fresh morning air. I walked over to the sparring dummy as I picked up a long sword as I cracked my neck, completing some warm up exercises. I hated swords, with a burning passion, but I knew this was the perfect thing to use this morning, something I wasn't as good at, but I could improve in.

I slowly waved it through the air as I lunged, repeating the same movement over and over, my muscles crying out in pain from the previous days training but I didnt stop. I turned lunging forwards as I pulled the blade up to my face closing my eyes. I twirled it round between my hands as I wandered around the yard, only the sound of swooshing metal and the birds echoing in my head.

I slowly walked over twirling the sword around my body as I pointed it at the dummy, my body covered in a light sweat from my warm up. I quickly turned left as I swung the blade around my head cutting into it in the stomach I removed it leaning all the way back and swinging the sword around again turning and stabbing the sword into the heart of the dummy before pulling it out and turning stopping the blade just before the side of the dummy's neck,

I turned again quickly as I swung the sword around my body slicing the stomach of the dummy as rolled backward and lifted the sword throwing it straight into the dummy's heart again.

I stood there breathing heavily as I smiled and grabbed the sword out of the dummy and positioned myself to start again readjusting my grip on the sword,

However as I did I felt a presence creep up behind me and I quickly swiped the sword to the side, however as I did it was knocked out of my hand, clattering onto the floor behind me,

Pulling the small dagger from my side I dropped and rolled forwards sliding on my knees, as I did I dug it into the ground and whipped my head up running forwards. I slashed the blade through the air as they dodged and grabbed it, throwing it out of my hands,

They swung a punch at my head as I ducked and turned to the side, they swung again as I grabbed their arm and swung it down using my whole-body weight as they stumbled and I stuck my foot out sending them onto the floor,

I quickly turning whipping my foot around as I fell onto their stomach grabbing another knife at my side as I pressed the blade deep into the persons neck, my body instantly lighting on fire at the close contact.

"Good job gorgeous, although I admit I went a little easy on you" Damien said looking up at me, his eyes piercing into mine as I sighed, immediately rolling my eyes and pulling the dagger away, twirling it back into my sheath on my hip,

"Well morning to you too" he said as I pushed myself off his body, the tingles still running through me at my most intimate area being seated on him. I shook myself trying to clear my head as I walked over to the targets picking up my bow,

He quietly followed me over as I pulled out the first arrow, he moved his fingers as the targets began to move and I smiled to myself, I let the first one go hitting the first target as I went again and again hitting every single one dead on, as I had two left I pulled the last two arrows out of my quiver and angled them up, sending them both flying as they hit the targets,

Damien leant next to me as he watched, not saying a word. "Are you okay?" he said as I turned to him and crossed my arms,

"I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be" I spat as he gritted his teeth clenching his jaw, clearly not a fan of the tone in my voice, "What's up your ass today, no need to be such a bitch in the morning" he mocked as I groaned and walked off chucking the bow to the side, not wanting to deal with his sarcasm this early in the morning.

"Gods above Damien, make up your fucking mind. You want to be friends one minute, then other times it seems you want to be much more than friends, I mean gods, we haven't spoken in a week, and I've barely even seen you. What's do you want from me, I thought I was pretty clear the last time we spoke that this was never going to happen" I growled as he glared and turned away from me,

"Hang on now, I'm not done" I said as I held up my hand, "You're a dick to me half the time, how do I know I can even trust you; you've betrayed people before wouldn't surprise me if you did it again. Can I really trust someone like you? Or would you just kill me like everyone else, maybe that's why you pretend to be interested in me, just so you could fuck me and kill me, how could I trust a murderer like you" I spat,

Damien's eyes flashed as I instantly regretted my words, he slowly stalked up to me as I walked backwards, my back pressed up against the wall. I knew I didn't mean what I was saying, but Hecate's words were fresh in my mind, and I didnt want to admit it to myself, but I was frightened Damien was going to be the one to betray me,

He smirked as he placed a hand above my head and lent in, "Go on, say it again. I dare you. One murderer to another Lillian. Say it." he said as my body heated up and my breathing hitched, having him being this close to me was setting my entire body on fire as I bit my lip, his eyes immediately dropping down to watch the movement.

I tilted my head up as my hand slowly run up his face, tracing his small scars on his face as he twitched at the touch, my fingers lightly running over his skin as I felt electricity run through my body.

His eyes flashed as he slightly moved into my touch, and he held his breath, his eyes fading to black as I clenched my thighs together and I let my eyes run over his face as I took him in, feeling my heart hammering in my chest,

He was godly, and I had never really taken the time to look at him properly, he had a strong jaw and full lips, as well as the small amount of stubble I could feel underneath my fingertips, something he never usually had but the sight of it made my mouth water. As I looked up I found myself becoming lost in his stormy grey eyes, as they switched between grey and black, his breathing coming out slightly shuddery at my touch,

Our eyes met as we both looked at each other our faces mirroring the same reaction, confusion and desperate lust. My body automatically pulled to him as his hand slowly ran up my arm and gently cupped the back of my head, his fingers gently running through my hair, as my back arched as I sighed, leaning into him.

However before I knew it he was thrown off me to the other side of the courtyard a loud crack echoing throughout the area as he split the wall, and a very pissed off Brand was standing right in front of me, his eyes pitch black as he breathed heavily.

"Brand, it was nothing, nothing was going on" I said as he held his hand out to me, "Silence." he said deadly quiet as I shut my mouth crossing my arms, Damien groaning loudly as he picked himself up off the floor, his fists clenched slightly.

I quickly ran out in front of Brand as he looked at me, rage pouring off him. "Stop it Brand, it wasn't him, it was me, he had nothing to do with it I swear. Nothing was going to happen, don't hurt him" I said quickly, trying to get him to not kill Damien. He looked at me as his eyes darkened to pitch black,

"So you deny me of completing the mating bond last night and now I find you out here all over him with no one else around, am I getting that correct? Did you kiss him" he said as I grimaced, "I asked did you kiss him Lillian" he said a little louder, slight waver in his voice, as I looked down. Shit, I had fucked up massively.

"Brand it's not like that, nothing happened I swear, I would never. I didn't kiss him, please you have to believe me" I pleaded as I walked up to him, however he stepped back from me,

"Brand, I didn't do anything, I swear it, I love you not him. Please." I whispered as he looked at me, an unrecognisable expression on his face,

"Then why won't you mate with me Lillian answer me that" he said deadly calm as a tear fell down my face as I felt my heart hurt, Damien moved behind me as I still held my hands out, halting Brand where he was.

"Brand please, I just can't right now, can't you just take that for an answer. I have so much going on, its nothing to do with him, he doesn't mean anything to me Brand. I love you" I said as he folded his arms looking at me emotionless as I heard Damien groan from behind me and I felt my stomach turn,

"Fine, but this" he pointed between me and Damien, "is over and done. I don't want to see you together ever again. Not one on one, not even if I'm in the room. You two will never interact again, do you hear me? Or I will kill him myself. Now leave us" he said as he looked at me, a tear rolling down my cheek,

"Brand please, he is my friend. There is nothing else between us, can't you trust me?" I said as he stormed towards Damien who had gotten up off the floor and was dusting himself down, "I've said what I've said now leave Lillian. Go inside now, this does not concern you" he said as he pushed past me continuing to Damien,

"No Brand please, don't hurt him. Punish me, it was my fault" I called out as I went to rush forwards, but my legs refused to move, I gasped as I looked down my heart rate rising in panic, I looked up as I saw Brand with his hand up looking as me as my eyes opened in fear.

I growled as I went to walk forwards again, "No stop Brand. What are you doing" I said as I tried to push against it, Brand turned away from me as I swore and I was lifted into the air towards the door, "How dare you use your powers on me, you let me go this instant Brand, or I swear to the gods" I said as with a final push I was thrown inside, and the doors locked behind me.

Shit, what had I done?
