I was trying to shift my sleeping position when I felt a heavy weight on me. I opened my eyes slowly and looked around. My brain registered the first thing…I was in Grey’s room. Second, I was in his bed and he was still there. I turned to face him, my face collided with his. He had his leg thrown across my thighs. My night shirt had ridden up to my waist. My hand was stuck under his tout neck. One of his hand was curved above his head…not to mention how messy his hair was. The other hand was under the night shirt plastered on my stomach. It was so cold icy like the night air. Chills covered my whole body, my heart raced like a wild engine. My throat ran dry and I was suddenly holding my breath. It scared me to know that I was falling for a vampire with nothing to restrict me or hold me back. I faced him touched his face hair…mouth. What are you doing on his mouth? I looked away to only find Ari standing beside the bathroom door, hands folded staring at me. My heart leapt to my throat.
“It is certain that you two are in love” she said coolly.
“No…no…” my throat was so dry.
“You’re stammering. And I saw the change of reaction when you discovered you are in his room…in his bed to be a little specific”
“No….Ari…
“Not to mention the way you two look at each other. You know what surprised me the most is the way you fought so much to protect him and how sad he was. To be sincere I have never seen him cry not even when Regina died. He was only bitter, but when he came to you he cried as if his heart had been ripped out”
“Ari…maybe it is because he thought I would die in the hands of Keith instead of him!” I suggested with an intention of running away from reality.
“Stop lying to yourself Becky, I know you know it. Tell me, how many times have you been in bed together? The other day I almost caught you doing something. Then later in the morning, he left your room in his boxers. I found his clothes and yours scattered on the floor too. What is that supposed to mean?” she heaved a sigh “He was never that close with even Regina, he only thinks of you and dreams of you. You got to accept the reality here Becky. You two are in love and that could be a simple explanation that you are his mate in one way or the other”
“But Ari…”
“I know you are human of course, but there are vampires who have human mates. They only have to be turned into vampires. Am no prophet, but you will come to realize it by yourself” she swayed out of the room and shut the door.
Grey’s mate, how funny could that be? Plus never in the world would I allow myself to be turned into a vampire. I patted Grey’s shoulder, he groaned lazily without even lifting his head or even opening his eyes.
“Come on open your damn eyes and get off me. First you will have to explain what the hell your hand is doing under my night shirt” I tried to freak him to get up but he didn’t shift an inch.
His hand skidded across my stomach and began pinching my waist. This damn pervert.
“I can hear someone’s heart going wild, she can barely breathe or say a word. Yet she can’t admit how crazy she is about me”
“Stop it stop!” I yelled “can you please get off me? I want to take a shower”
“Right and I got some serious business to deal with” he got off me and sat up. I swung out of bed, he pulled me back to sit.
“I got some questions for you though….how did you manage the speed while you were fighting Keith? You disappeared from the piano room last night. You broke the bench as well. How?!” he was damn determined to know
“I don’t know, I can’t understand a thing as well. When I saw Keith attacking you…I felt a sudden power rushing through me and then I was standing between the two of you!” I answered generously.
“I don’t know what to say as well. I was in your dreams as well, I saw everything that you were seeing that’s why I was damn tired and so sleepy. It takes a lot of energy.” He looked at me in confusion “it can only mean you are not a complete human at all”
“No, am a human”
“Come on” he pulled me down to lay on my back he was leaning on his hand staring at me “am not saying it as a fact…it is only a possibility. Don’t be mad okay?”
“Or else you will cry again?”
“Who told you I was crying?” he was trying to pretend that he didn’t actually do it.
“Don’t lie to me were you?”
“Only because am going to miss this mouth of yours” he kissed me upside down and got up “follow me I got something to show you!” I followed him to the bathrooms.
We stood before the mirror, he ripped the night shirt from the back to display the birthmark.
“You see, it has become darker than before. Here the area where Keith’s claws sunk is silvery. I used all the strength I could use to clear the scar but it won’t get cleared”
“They look like wrist bands or something like that” I said.
“More likely…Becky well I think, you got some powers in you. You might at not be a pure human as everyone thinks”
I looked up at him brows knitted wondering what he meant by me not being human. The last time I checked I was human and now what was this vampire thinking?
“What are you saying? You want to say am a vampire? Witch? What are you saying Grey? Am just a human okay?” a sudden anger overpowered me and now she wanted to punch him on the face. All this misery I was going through was because of him and now he was telling me that I was not human?
“Try to understand what am saying, your speed…you broke the piano bench last night you were able to teleport to my room. Can’t you see that? You were also able to communicate with the princess of the northern….”
“Stop! “I yelled slamming my fist on the sink. It cracked and fell to the floor.
What was going on? Why… how…when? Oh god and I wasn’t hurt…
“You see what I was trying to say?” he confirmed as if he had been waiting for something of sort to happen. I could not speak no words formed in my mouth, my lips began trembling and my body quivered. No I am human…am human!
“I need to go! Now!” I turned around my mind only thinking of getting as far as I could from Grey…I focussed on Dermot’s room. I found myself standing there… I teleported…what?
So I could do that too? What was happening to me?
No! Nothing was wrong with me it was just a mirage okay? You imagined you could do it so that doesn’t mean you did it. And how could you know…maybe it was all Grey’s doing. He can do whatever he wants so easily in order to make it sink in your head that you are not human. But still…he had promised to protect you at all cost. He cried when you were hurt it wasn’t at all easy for him to take it in right? He tried his best to protect you a lot of times. If it wasn’t for him you could have died right?
I sunk onto the coach pulling on my hair with both hands till my scalp hurt so much. I let go. I will simply let things the way they are, keep away from Grey and just wait for something or just anything to happen.
I decided not to trouble myself to discover anything, I cleaned up dressed in the attire I had decided to always be in. not a stupid human girl sympathizing with everything that is happening in her stupid life. I was in full black leather, I pulled my hair in a ponytail. It is a little too long running down to the arch of my back it needed to be trimmed but not now…some other time.
For now I needed to find Sandy. I left the room walked through the halls till I came to her room, before I knocked the door it opened. She was standing there wearing a sad face she looked up at me and her face lit immediately.
“Oh, Becky…what a surprise you woke up?”
I smiled nervously “I did, last night”
“Sure come in I have a lot to tell you” I followed her we settled on the coaches facing each other “ so I hope Ari has already told you that vampires in this coven promised to protect you after you defended Grey”
“Yeah, she told me about that” I responded with a nod
She leaned back and exhaled heavily “finally you can move around without freaking out or wetting on your pants” we laughed slightly “so umm for now what we need to do is utilize that chance and move around”
“You sure about that?” I was unsure if vampires were promise keepers in the first place. Witches were not but they strived were witches and vampires the same?
“Keith broke you skull, you could have died if Grey did not dedicate himself to heal you. We had to find a human doctor so Grey’s healing could work at a faster rate. He fixed the injured organs and the doctor restored lost blood and the physical I was scared…I thought you could die” she wore a sad face “Jayden helped Grey a lot you should thank him too”
“Jayden? Why would he do that? He doesn’t like me and besides he took part in hurting Grey that day”
“It is a long story but know that Jayden is dedicated to serve Grey. I think what he did the previous time was to protect Grey” Sandy explained I almost laughed at the protecting part.
“Sandy…protect? It makes no sense at all. How does hurting Grey protect him ha? He was damn serious when he was hitting him!”
“Look, if he didn’t do that, he would have been discovered that he is bound to Grey. He would have been killed by Steel which wouldn’t have benefited Grey in any way. Steel doesn’t like it that Grey is the master of this coven, he wants to get rid of him so he can get the coven back” well this was a serious matter as it seemed, so Grey had enemies within his own coven?
“What do you mean by getting it back, did Grey grab it from him?” I asked blankly.
“Grey is just, he is violent a killer a warrior and all that but he upholds justice, that is one thing Steel doesn’t have and envies him for. A thousand years ago, this coven belonged to the brother of King Archibald Darwin. He died in a war between the witches and vampires, at that time Grey was not even born he could not take over the Vines coven. Steel took over till an heir was born and came of age, Steel is not an easy guy to deal with he’s traitorous and greedy. He was not ready to let go that easily so he decided to head the council so as to keep an eye on Grey. If he makes any simple mistake he will make a fuss about it so he can be given the leadership back. Grey is smart and so it is hard for Steel to outsmart him so he does almost anything to bring his downfall”
“That is definitely a very greedy act, I can’t believe this” I sighed heavily “anyway, I came here to ask you for help”
“What do you need my help in?”
“Fighting, I want to know how to fight. Hold a sword, daggers, canes and all that. I am tired of sympathizing with myself I want to know all this things.” I paused for a moment ignoring the amazed look Sandy was giving me “as it seems I am never getting out of here I will someday and that is not tomorrow or the day after tomorrow but I will. I believe”
“Well, I think they should host you some day to give a speech. You are so good at that” we both burst into laughter.
“So, what do you say are you helping me?”
“No!” my eyes widened “but I know someone who can”
“Don’t tell me it is Grey who you are suggesting”
“Of course not, come with me” she grabbed my hand and teleported to another room.
It was dark room with a theme of red and black. There were heavy curtains hanging on the wall, the bed had black silky covers. There were two single sofas at the end of the room, a huge closet and a door leading to what I thought to be the bathroom.
“Wow, this is way too creepy” I said leaning close to Sandy
“Hey, Abigail are you in here?” Sandy asked in a shaky voice.
Everything was silent, I grabbed Sandy’s hand firmly then a light breeze swept behind me. I slowly turned around to come face to face with a pair of red vampire eyes. Wow they scream death and danger!
“What are you doing here?” the athlete female figure moved to the side switching on the lights.
“Ha-ha…Abigail, I came to see you with my friend be…”
“Everyone knows her in this coven if not all of them, so what is she doing here?”
Well, she looked like what I wanted to become, a savage idiot who didn’t give a damn about anyone or anything. She had long red hair, her legs long, she had a tattoo on her exposed flat tummy and arm. A complicated scary creature. I would get one too this fine day, if I was alive…that is.
“You see, Becky here would like to borrow some fighting skills from you if you don’t mind. Get her the basic if you don’t mind” Sandy sounded convincing. What a smart kid.
“And why, is she planning to attack us some day?”
“Come on Abigail, she doesn’t stand a chance against us, we are vampires she smart enough not to dig her own grave Abigail” Sandy answered.
Abigail took a seat on the single sofa tucked stray strands of her inky hair behind her ear. She leaned back on her seat staring intently at me. I felt so small under her gaze, gosh it felt so sickening.
“You sure you wanna train Becky?” she asked the way a mother could ask her daughter if she was sure about the man she is planning to get married to.
“Yeah am sure!” I answered casually.
“Mmh, what do you want to specialize in?” she asked
“Bow and arrow thing and daggers if that is possible” was I giving options to a mighty vampire now? I got the guts ha?
“Nothing is impossible, stay positive as much as you can girl, or you will just die out of negativity” she smirked “you are in then, let me see you every day at 3:00am, we will be taking our time till the first sun ray peaks at the horizon depending on the time of the year.” She paused as if waiting for my opinion “well then I will leave now, I got some issues to attend to” she headed for the door pulled it open, paused and turned around to face me.
“Thanks by the way, you got your ass beaten for Grey. I admire you for that. Thanks for standing in for Grey” she offered me a brief smile and simply vanished in thin air.
Did she just thank me? She said she admired me for that right? And…she smiled at me! Oh wow, so even cold, hot and sexy vampires can be friendly ha?
“Now you are gapping mmh? What a shot she likes you already” Sandy pocked my arm slightly giving me a mischievous look.
“No, how sure are you?”
“One thing with Abigail, she is the kindest vampire I know in this coven. She loves everyone except Steel!”
“Good thing she doesn’t like that guy, I don’t like him either”
“Me too” Sandy nodded dreamily, we laughed it off before we teleported back to her room.
