The blood of the Phoenix.

The car journey was silent, I looked behind and saw Ella looking out the window with a tear running down her cheek, I mentally asked Lucien to listen in,  see that's one of the gifts us vampires have we can communicate through our minds, the girl is utterly beautiful but her dad owns me lots of money, I can't let  her beautiful  looks turn  me into some  soft vampire, but there is something about her I cannot shake, what is it with this human? She's making a grown and very old vampire feel  things.

Lucien finally came back telling me she's worried for her mother, who's in Spain receiving treatment for Cancer and will run out of funds to pay it. Her father lost the money to even pay her medical care that man doesn't deserve to even live, he was worse then scum. I text Karl my human man who is ex FBI he can find anyone or any  information for me, I ask him to research Bruce's wife where she is so I can pay for her medical bills, I don't know why but I feel this is what Ella needs, her father is a low life, Ella will  be here a while I can tell and if her mothers needs are taken care of then it will make her stay here much more bearable.

We pull up and my men lead Ella into the house, I can see Ella look around in awe at my huge mansion.

" where is the girl going to boss? Basement or room?" Jones  asked me.

" Show Ella to one of the guest rooms with a lock on. She will be staying a while. No need for a cold basement"

Ella resists and tells Jones she can walk herself, she's a feisty one, I enter my kitchen and see Rosie and Agnes preparing dinner, they are Mother and daughter, Agnes has been head of the house staff for many years. .

" we have a guest staying with us for the foreseeable, Ella she is called. Rosie I think you both could be friends. Do make her feel welcome. And please don't be doing any witchy woo stuff near her, she doesn't even know I'm a vampire"

Rosie laughed and thrown me a pie she had made, Mmm blueberries my favourite, contrary to what is seen in movies We function the same as humans, I need sleep, food and drink, the only difference is I need blood to give me the energy and power I need to survive.

" sir. The girl is being difficult she's demanding she leaves now and won't enter the room" Jones said stood at the kitchen door annoyance on his face.

I roll my eyes And make my way to the bedroom, there she was stood with  her back to the wall, " in the room now. Please Ella" I said softly, I'm trying to be nice but if this girl pushes my buttons I'll drag her in the room by her hair.

She huffs and tries to run past me, " tsk tsk little girl" I say grabbing hold of her arm, she struggles Against my grip but a small human girl is no match for me, I laughed at her " where do you think your going?"

She pulled her arm free " I'm not  little. I am a 25 year old woman who has her own life. Why should I be taken as a prisoner for my fathers wrong doings?" She tries to sound confident but the fact her voice is cracking shows she finds me intimidating, I mean why wouldn't she? She's what 5ft maybe  5ft 2? And I'm 6ft 5 broad muscle man next to her.

I'd had enough of her shit, I lifted her up over my shoulders, she screams and kicks her legs " put me down, put me down you big... you big Ape!"

I put her down gently on the bed, I chucked "
Big ape? Iv been called worse. Dinner will be ready soon. Wash up. Someone will be up to collect you. Ella" I didn't listen to her protesting I walked away locked the door and headed to my room for a shower, she's a feisty one.
