Purple Blood

Chapter 26

Joon got her under the covers, and she tried her hardest not to cry, but she couldn't help it. Maybe she can run away? Convince one of them to take her out and return to the cabin. Hopefully, they'll still care for Nanny and get her out of her Uncle's Kingdom.

He wrapped his arms around her again, and Joon pulled her flush against him. "Please don't cry, Vi. It's breaking my heart."

She nodded her head and tried; she did. He turned her around, and her face was in his chest; she grabbed his shirt so tightly. Vi sobbed like she was in mourning because, in a way, she was. Her life as she knew it was over. Even if she could run away, they'd never stop until they found her.

Violet could fall for them, especially Joon and Hobi. They were so patient and sweet. But she wasn't sure about the others. Something was wrong with her; why was she like this? She might or might not ever want anything with them, but if she stays her life, her very long life will consist of her being their blood and sex slave. And she wasn't sure that she could do that. 

She cried herself to sleep in his arms. He wanted to feed from her, but she didn't need that right now. She needed reassurance. She had some shocking news, and she needed time to process it. Maybe she'll let him feed in the morning. Yeah, it'll technically be Jimin's day, but he was sure he'd understand.

Violet woke up several hours before the sun went down. Joon was still holding her tightly against him. She didn't think he fed; he left her alone and let her cry herself to sleep. She got out of his arms; it was difficult. He didn't seem to want to let go.

She went to the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water; Vi, you have to figure out a way out of here. She made her way over to the front door; there was a very high-tech-looking alarm. Shit, if she runs, they'll hear and be on her in an instant. She was hoping that this would be the way out. Convincing one of them to take her out and running from there will get her, maybe 100 feet before they caught her. But if she ran while they were sleeping, then she had a chance.

Too bad that's not going to work now. Vi slumped down on the floor. What is she going to do now? Then it hit her, Jimin. He has a bar in his room; she'll get him drunk and convince him to take her out during the day. She felt better; she had the start of a plan. 

Violet grabbed an apple, devoured it, and then returned to bed. Joon had been amazing, so she went back to his bed instead of going to hers as she truly wanted. She was afraid to anger him, and he'd force himself on her; yes, she could always stab him, but she needed to be a good girl for a few more days. Once she was done with her period, they wouldn't be able to smell her as easily.

She fell asleep with a smile on her face for the first time in a while; it was a genuine smile, not fake or forced. When she woke up the following day, Joon was still asleep, so she went to her room to shower and get dressed. Today was Jimin's day, and this would take some seduction on her side. He's pliable to a point, but he likes a bit of a challenge, and he's smart, so she has to get him thinking with his little head and not his big one.

She dried her hair and put it up in a ponytail; she did come hither makeup. Then she went for a sexy schoolgirl look. Vi picked a short black and blue plaid skirt with a V-neck camisole. She grabbed some thigh-high socks, and something in the top drawer caught her eye. Among the dozens of underwear was a piece of jewelry that would complete the look. She pulled it on, and it went around her upper thigh. The pearls and chains fell right under her skirt. They swayed when she walked. Oh, he was going to love it. 

Violet skipped out to breakfast, and since it was still light outside, no one was up yet. She quickly made her food, and then she was off to start her mission. She opened his door quietly; he was still asleep. The sun was starting to set, so he should be waking up any second now. She hopped onto his bed and sat next to him, sitting crisscross applesauce. Since her skirt was short, he'd get a nice peek if he was at the right angle.

Jimin blinked his eyes open and smirked at her, "Well, well, Princess, I finally got you right where I want you."

Eye roll: "So it's your day today, Jiminie. I was wondering if you wanted to get lit?"

His eyes shot open, and he sat up quickly. "What makes you think I'd want that?"

She scoffed and waved her hand toward his bar, "You sure have a lot of alcohol for a person who can't get drunk." Vi got on his hands and knees and crawled towards him. Her face was inches from his. "You don't have to. I could always wait for Jungkook's night."

She knew that would annoy him; his eyes flashed red, so she knew it was working. "Fine, but you have to eat more than normal; I don't want you to get alcohol poisoning."

Vi sat back on her heels and reached out to shake his hand; once he took her hand and shook it, she grinned and said deal. "Have you eaten yet this morning?" Violet nodded yes, "Then can I eat a bit before we get drunk?" She shook her head yes again, and he grinned at her.

She held out her wrist, and he latched on. He didn't eat a lot, thank goodness, and once he was done, he reached forward and touched the chain on her thigh. "Did you wear this for me, Princess?"

"What makes you think that?" Then she smirked and asked if they could start. She wanted to get drunk quickly, so they started with a few shots. By the time Joon walked in, Vi was tipsy. "My Queen, you weren't there when I woke up."
