chapter 16. a blood freezing decision...
SWEAT DRIPPED DOWN THE BACK OF MY BACK. MAKING MY SHIRT STICK TO MY BODY, MAKING it hard to move.
"Left! Duck! Now move to the left!" Jarrod shouted his blue eyes determined. I moved to the left and he hit with the left in the face. Knocking me flying in the air and hitting the ground.
"Ooph!" Was all I could say as the air left my body. I layed on the ground watching the world right it's self. I waited for my breath to return, that was dirty. That was not fair at all. I thought to myself.
"Aww, Jericho-man you need to be quicker." He sneered. Before Jarrod knew what hit him I jumped up doing a backflip into the air swinging my leg out and connecting with his face with my foot. He flew ino the air. Walking away I sneered at him as he grabbed at his face (which to my satisfaction was bleeding profusely. ) A shocked look was placed on his face.
"Maybe you should be faster Jarrod man..." I walked away.
I layed in bed trying to force myself to go back to sleep. Kaira walked in not even bothering to knock.
"Jericho! Get up!" The frantic tone in her voice had me jumping up and stripping down naked and grabbing clothes from the closet. Dressing in front of each other didn't bother us. We knew what each person has. So it wasn't any different. While I was getting dressed I asked her what was wrong.
"They decided." I pulled on a shirt and froze.
"They decided what?" I asked.slowly.
"They...decided the date of...the wedding." I froze, I listened to the words again in my mind replaying them slowly each word making my blood curdle, than freeze. They....decided...the...date...of...the...wedding...
"NO!" I screamed, and ran out of the room. I could feel the venom in my mouth burn my tounge. My fangs sharpened but didn't elongate. (Thats the most stupidest thing I have ever heard about vampires. No our teeth do not elongate.) I flew down the halls -the tapestry flying with the ferociousness of my speed.
I ran into the throne room where my Grandmother, Queen Ida sat at the throne. One of the gaurds pushed themselves in front of me. I didn't know where it came from but with the strength I didn't kniow I had against two full grown vampires I threw them both across the room screaming "GET OUT OF MY WAY!"
My Grandmother sat straight up in the throne with a calm face. I glared at her. "Why?" I seethed, my voice frozen. She just looked at me with a slightly amused look on her face. for some odd reason her not answering me only made me more mad.
"WHY?!" I screamed."Why would you make a date with out even making a effort to ask me!" I shouted.
Finally she answered. "Because I am the Queen, and I make the date. Now stop your tone of voice with me right this instance." She said it calmly, but it still came off as a slap. But I stood my ground, asking "When. When is this......Wedding" I sneered the word.
"The day of your seventeenth birthday Jericho. Which is.."
I did the math in my head and had the answer out at the same time as she said it.
"Three months ,June." We both said at the same time.
"On the seventeeth of June the day of your seventeenth year, you will marry whether you want to or not."
My blood froze. This meant war. This meant a war that was coming soon, and a war that will change the way of life for every one. Were my last thoughs as I stormed out of the throne room and passed Kaira.
"What-"
"Nothing I'm going to my room, don't bother me." I said cutting her off.
