I woke up ready to get these trials over with. I wasn't aloud to sleep with nor sleep in the same room as Daylen till this Saturday, which sucked because I would like to have someone to cuddle with after all the crap I been through. I got dresses and heard a knock on the door and I opened it to find Daylen smiling. "Ready to go judge some people?" He laughed.
"Not quite." I frowned because I didn't know what a suitable punishment was and I didn't want to hurt an innocent person.
"You looked freaked, so I'll explain. Ur gonna hear two different cases today. I will read what they are about and you will hear both sides and we will take a five minute recess to either go over what you think is the best punishment or who is guilty or not and I am only hear to give you advice or help if needed. Then we go in and an once the final decision and then there is a ten minute break until the next case so you can eat or pee if needed. Then we start again with the next case. Got it?" He smiled
"Let's just get this over with."
We walked in and it looked like an actual court room and it was on the main floor as well and I followed Daylen as he directed me to the judges chair and he sat to my right. People started to fill in and I swear some just came to see how I was gonna judge and I also saw the king take a seat on the side where just the royal sat. As the guy being charged and the one who was charging him filed in and sat down Daylen stood up.
"Welcome everyone. Today my fiancé and future queen will be doing the prosecuting today and for the next two after this. So let's begin. Today's case is about this man Mr. Calliot being charged with stealing 13 bags of blood from Mr. Zooey's blood bank. Mr. Zooey please stand and state your case." He finished and sat down.
He bowed to Daylen as he stood and turned and did the same to me. I nodded for him to begin.
"As you all know I run a blood bank where humans can willingly donate and get paid for their servies and vampires can buy the bags so in return no one is harmed and the business stays running. Every week we go through a list of vampires that don't have much money and we give them a free bag so it fills their hunger and they don't try to directly feed. We normally call them in or they in when its time to get their bag. Mr. Calliot always comes in as he always has for the last three years, and I've never had a problem but the last two weeks I was short on many occasions and so then the last week when he came in I caught him running with a bunch of bags and when I went to the storage 13 bags were missing. It don't sound like much but we get enough donated to help and sell enough to pay our donators, so by him doing this it cuts the other starving vampires short and we can't afford one becoming a savage not when we can help."
"Thank you Mr. Zooey, you may be seated" I said. "Mr. Calliot please come give your statement."
"Well I admit I did steal those bags I had reasoning. My family is starving and I can no longer share one bag it has made my hunger grow and I can't starve but I don't want them to either, you must understand." I felt him living and I knew it I could him his thoughts running through my head.
"Your living" I stated and I heard gasp from everyone.
"I'm not lieing to you."
"I can feel it. Stop lieing. I hate liers. You have no family, you was just tired of only having one bag to yourself. You know what I think, I think they don't have to help you, you could try to fend on your own but you wouldn't survive, but they willingly help you and yet you bite the hand that feeds you." I finished and he looked stunned but he wasn't the only one. Everyone including the royals were at a loss for words. "Anything to add?" I asked.
"I'm sorry I lied and your right I wouldn't survive. I am sorry."
"Thank you for being honest. Let's take a five minute recess and I will be back with the verdict." I stood and Daylen rose as well and we both went to a padded room in the back.
"How did you know he was lieing?" He laughed.
"I felt it, like words were swirling in my head and I knew it was a lie as soon as he said it." I finished.
After our five minutes we walked back out and everyone stood and after being told to be seated they sat. "Alright I believe the right thing here to do Mr. Calliot is you need to pay back the amount of money it cost for all thirteen bags so I sat you up a job on the farm around from your house. You will work there until all the money is paid back and if you want to keep working there you may and you will no longer struggle so hard. Is that understood?"
"Yes mam." He smiled.
"One more thing, Mr. Zooey I like what your doing, protecting humans and vampires, your a good man. I want you to give the struggling vampires two bags a week and the extra expense will be covered by myself personally. There is also 170 bags of blood we contained from the games and we are going to donate them all to help get you ahead for a little while. Is that okay with you?" I smiled.
"That is wonderful thank you your majesty." He bowed and I nodded politely.
"Okay, court is over please exit now." I watched everyone leave so I took time to grab a glass of wine with a little blood in it to calm my nerves before the next trial.
------------
"This case is about Mr.witz wanting to petition for the hanging of Mr. Carter, his human slave for stealing food and unlawfully hurting one of his vampire guards. Mr. Witz please state your case." Daylen said as he sat.
"Well my slave here was caught giving all the slaves food away and when my guard went to stop him, the bastard starting hitting him and left him with a broken arm." He stated.
"You have a lot of hate towards humans don't you Mr. Witz. Guess what I was one about five days ago, do you hate me too?" I smiled and I seen some very harsh words swirling through his mind. "Go ahead, you can't kill me or anyone just because their human you air-headed human hater. I'm not done with you yet, but I want to hear Mr. Carter side before I kick your ass." I finished. By this point the king was laughing and sent me a wink and I laughed a little too, this guy had me fired up.
"There is a lot of children he has as slaves and he don't feed them, he likes to watch them suffer so I was sneaking them food and his guard tried to kill him so i stepped in, I'm sorry about his arm though." Mr. Carter finished.
"I would take a recess now but it's not needed." Daylen sent me a curious look. "I want all of Mr. Witz's slaves brought here immediately to become my PAID maids, not slaves, and I also want to all his guards in jail for allowing this unjust tratement to people. I want Mr. Witz staked for his cruel harsh ways. You want to know why, if I could tolerate vampires and I was a human and I can look at all of you as people and your hearts don't beat then it's time you do the same. Treat with equal respect. Oh and by the way it took his arm what like ten minutes to heal back to normal? Your a pathetic piece of scum and I don't want you on the same planet breathing the same air as me. Go die." And with that I stood and strolled out and headed to my room. No one bothered me because they were doing as I ordered with killing him and bringing the maids here. When they got here Mr. Carter was holding a uncontious little boy who was around five and I quickly went to him and took him, I ran to find Daylen and I was crying. He found me and looked in my arms and knew what I was thinking.
"Do you want me to change him? It is the only thing at this point that will save him." I cried and said yes over and over. I felt a connection to this little boy and I knew he was meant to be mine. I told Daylen and he said the child don't have any name or parents which made me cry harder. So we decided to become his parents and adopt him since we turned him and raise him together, I might not be able to have kids anyways so he got his heir and I got a child, and his new name was Danacus Lee Jahara. Our five year old baby boy.
