The Revenge

Chapter 13

Chapter 13

The daylight peeked through heavy curtains as I slowly opened my eyes. My mind was foggy from all the alcohol I drank, not remembering how I got into a bed. My mouth was dry, my tongue sticking to my upper jaw, dying for some water. Still wearing my dress from the night before I slowly sat up. The second I got up my head started pounding.

I groaned as the pain settled in my head. Wiping my eyes with the back of my palms I looked around the room. I noticed Isobel’s bed was neatly made. Thinking I slept until noon and Isobel already made her bed and left the room, I checked the hanging clock just across the wall. It was only half-past nine. I wondered where Isobel was. Did she even make it back last night? I went to the bathroom, taking a greedy drink of water straight from the tab.

While taking shower, my mind was flooded with thoughts of last night. How Torben enjoyed taunting me and how I nearly lost control of my body once he mockingly asked about my loved ones. I didn’t understand how can someone be so sinister. At first, I wanted to revenge my family because I thought that he gave the order and they were at the wrong time and place. But knowing he deliberately killed them with his own hands just made the urge to kill him even greater. Just thinking about it made my stomach churn and the anger return.

After having a shower and getting dressed in leather skinny pants and a cotton white t-shirt tucked in at the waist paired with my favourite combat boots, I entered the bedroom. Isobel sat at the edge of her bed going through her clothes. Once she looked at me a wide smile appeared on her face.

“Hi,” she said when she spotted me.

“Hi” I replied, “you look like you had a good night. ”She still wore her dress from last night, her hair was messy but her skin was glowing. Her usual deep blue eyes were icy blue and glowing indicating she just fed.

“I certainly did.” she high pitched her voice in excitement with a huge smile adorning her face.

“Tell me everything,” I said feeling enthusiastic, a smile creeping on my face.

She started telling me about the vampire she met last night. It was the same vampire I have seen her with before the whole fiasco with Torben. She told me they spend the night together having sex. According to her, it was the best sex she had had in while.

“Are you going to see him again?” I asked being curious.

“I was hoping to see him again tonight before we leave tomorrow.” she wiggled her eyebrows.

“You two looked cute together, are you going to make an effort to see him?”

“No, it was just sex for me.” Then added ” I like my freedom”

I chuckled, loving her thinking and wishing was as free-spirited as her.

She began taking off the remains of her make-up with cotton wool and makeup remover.

“Have you had sex since you’ve been turned?” she raised an eyebrow at me.

I felt slight heat rushing to my cheeks. I wasn't used to speaking about my sex life so openly with anyone. “No, I have other things on my mind,”

“You’re missing out, vampire sex is on another level.” She stated ” human sex is nothing compared to vampire sex”

More heat rushed to my cheeks at the thought of it. How much better could it be? But then I remembered last night, I had other priorities at the moment.

She went for a shower. In the meantime, the maid brought two glasses of blood into our room. I sat on the vanity chair sipping the blood, drying and brushing my long dark wavy hair while my mind swirled with the thought of Torben. His mocking sinister words replaying in my head. I wished I could turn it off.
