over the centuries

44

Jacob was behind me in a second, my hair rushing forward from the wind he carried on his heels.
"This is lauren" He said bored, holding a hand out to me. "My soulmate"
The strange man grabbed my hand and kissed it before I could utter a word, I yanked it back. He smiled down at me.
"And who are you?" I demanded
"Lauren this is my general of sorts. Oscar" jacob said
"Please to meet you lauren" He said
"I can't say the same. Anyone out there murdering people, vampires or not is on my shit list." I said
He chuckled darkly, the sound sending a shiver down my spine. Were all these people mad?
"Do you have buisness with me?" Jacob said walking around me and to the other vampire.
"Only to tell you that a few more members have been added to our ranks" Oscar said
"Good" jacob said "we need more with the recent depletion"
The two men started walking away from me then, going to Jacob's office to further discuss their disgusting buisness. I brushed my hair behind my shoulder before defending the stairs, fi ally free to do as I pleased. I was going straight for the t.v. room, wanting to catch up on some of my old shows.
"Ms. Lauren" came the buttler jacob kept around.
"What is it?" I asked annoyed.
"I have your cell phone for you, Mr. Jacob said you could have it after you were let out of your confines."
"Excellent" I said taking the little square the butler handed me, it was dead.
Jacob was a cruel man, taking away all my entertainment except books while I was in my confinement. I cursed the wretched bastard! I felt like a child being put in timeout. I remembered what I just let happen and another shiver ran down my spine. Why are toxic people so intoxicating? I continued to ponder this as I made my way to the t.v. room.
I was somewhere in the middle of my show when I heard shouting. I turned down the volume to eyedropp, I didn't care if I was being obvious, I could do as I pleased.
"If we move on the Vander brothers we'll be demolished! We're too weak right now!" Oscar yelled
"I don't give two shit!" Came Jacob's voice "there our biggest threat besides the council and I want them gone."
"Then you throw the rest of our army away!" Oscar yelled
I turned back up the t.v., there conversations boring.
"If this is about elenor..." Oscar's voice came. I quickly turned it back down, the conversation finally getting juicy.
"Elenor! I don't give a rats ass about that anymore you should know that" Jacob's voice came angry
"It's rude to eavedrop" Jacob's voice came in my mind suddenly.
I turned down the t.v. further.
"Will you be able to reset her when the time comes! I think not!" Oscar's voice came angry.
"I will" jacob seathed.
Suddenly I heard a door slam shut and the voices became more muffled. Bastard! I huffed out my annoyance as I turned the t.v. back on louder, getting into a show about house hunting.
I wondered who elenor was and what she meant to jacob. Was she his lover? I couldn't see how anyone could love that man, that might be why he was upset. Unrequited love? Ha! Serves the bastard right.
"Who's elenor" I thought out loud
"None of your buisness" jacob growled into my mind.
I scoffed. "New rule. You have to answer all my questions truthfully" I mentally shot
"Truthfully it's none of your buisness" He answered back.
Shit. I wasn't going to get anywhere.
"Oscar wants to taste you" jacob shot at me.
"Tell him to get in line" I said
He laughed.
"How I enjoy your company" He said sarcastically
I snorted at that. Ignoring him and going back to my little show.
"You know I'll be forgiven when I'm the strongest vampire on this world" He said
"King of the damned. Sounds fitting for you." I answered back.
"King over all" He said
"What?" I asked surprised
"Were meant to rule. I intend to" He said
"Your mad" I answered back
"You'll see how mad I am when I open one of the portals to hell and rain down all the demons of the underworld." He said
"Is that why the demons are following you?" I asked curiously
"Nuh uh lauren. Too many questions for my taste." He said
"Fine" I said "I don't care anyways. I won't be on that murder list."
Jacob laughed as if amused by my reasoning.
"No you wont" He admitted. "But how very compassionate of you"
"Maybe your madness is rubbing off on me" I admitted
I heard footsteps descend the stairs then, as jacob and Oscar came near, making there way into my little t.v. room.
"Ms. Lauren" Oscar said smiling to show off his fang "how pleasant you smell"
I felt a thrill of fear in a split second.
"New rule don't let another vampire bite me!" I screamed as Oscar lunged.
Jacob was on Oscar in a second intersepting him and shoving him to the ground. He punched him once. Oscar hissed up at jacob who sat on top of him. My hands were on my neck as if to protect it with my feeble strength.
"You will not harm me or let any other creature harm me. Ever. New rule." I demanded
Jacob's head swiveled to the side glowering at me. His attention went back to Oscar, his own fangs out he hissed back as Oscar like a cat and Oscar conceded, his fangs retracting, his eyes turned back to normal. Jacob got off him then, and the two men dusted themselves off.
"Damn your rules jacob" Oscar snarled blood thirsty.
"You will not damn my soul" jacob countered "I will reset you if you try again" He threatened.
I pulled my legs up on the couch, as if afraid of the boogy man under the couch. I watched the two men's argument with trepidation.
"Good by oscar" I said with force in my voice.
He sneered down at me, jacob still standing between us, jacob watch him like a hawk ready to pounce on a mouse.
"Your now my weakness" jacob said quietly.
"Good" I said
