I am the Daughter

Literally No Care (22)

"A whole species couldn't find me. Do you understand how long I was raised a Hunter? If all the vampires were out to find me they would've found me before now. I don't care what the books say, I don't care. I'll never be the way you want me." I say honestly as I set the gun down. "I never said that, maybe it was a good thing. You weren't raised spoiled, and you weren't raised royal so you are more humble and down to earth."

"I'm gonna go now." I say setting walking past him as he grabs my hand in his cool grasp. "I'm Xavier." He says as I nod my head and pull out of his grasp. "You already know who I am." I say walking past him as he nods his head. I see Deana giving me glares as I smirk in her direction. I walk out of the gym and back to the castle as I feel the warm air swirl around me. "Estrella." I turn my head around at the voice and I see Cyprian causally leaning on a tree dressed in thick leather.

"What do you need?" I ask sharply. "Wanna go drive a motorcycle?" He asks with a gleam in his eyes. "Eh I'm ok." I say as I continue walking and I hear him catch up to me. "Oh come on, live a little bit." "Coming from the one who's dead." I tell him. "Ha Ha. You are half dead yourself." He says as I groan. "So let's go." He says as I shake my head. "Oh come on! Sterling won't go ride with me, he's in a meeting." As I look at him in question. "And you decided I was the second choice? Why is he in a meeting? With who?" I ask.

"Now I won't give you answers unless you come." He says pushing my buttons. "Fine. I'll go with you Cyprian, never ask me again after this." I say as I ignore his laugh. "You won't be saying that when you enjoy the ride." He says and I groan again. "Are we ever going to go or am I going to continue to stand here?" I ask impatiently. "Yes let's go." "Where is Sterling?" I ask once again. "A meeting with your father." He says short. "And what are hey discussing?" I ask once more. "You. Your safety. The love going between the both of you." He adds on causing me to snap my head in his direction quickly.

"Oh man I knew I would get a reaction out of you!" He laughs historically. "Maybe I won't go with you." I say annoyed. "You already said you would go so you really don't have much of choice." He says causing me to groan at my previous words. Before I know it we arrive at two sleek black motorcycles and I run my fingers on the smooth black plastic. "Pretty." I say as he nods his head.

"Helmet." He says throwing me a helmet as I barely catch it and I give him a glare as he gets on his own without a helmet. "Why do you not have one?" I ask. "Because I don't need one I'm a vampire." He says smiling. "And I'm not?" I ask. "You are not fully. When you become fully then maybe I'll allow you no helmet." "Since when did you become my babysitter?" I ask. "Why do you think your body guard isn't here right now?" He asks and I watch him. "About that, I don't need one." "But you do Princess." He emphasizes.

"I can handle my own, Cyprian." "And when a swarm of rouges come after you?" " I fight back." I add on. "No you die and the throne won't pass down." "Who cares about the throne?" I yell. "I know people who would kill to be in your spot. Your dad would throw you in the dungeons for a week if he were to hear of those words. You are the only daughter and child he has so you sure as hell should take pride in your blood line." Cyprian snaps at me as I ignore him and pull my helmet over my head.

He tosses me the keys as I sit on the sleek beauty and turn it on. It purrs to life under me and I kick the stand up and I balance it between me. "Ready?" Cyprian asks as I nod my head and he speeds off at the sound of light as I follow after him. I feel the warm air flow around me and the sun looks like it's about to drop. I follow down the dirt path until it turns to cement and he slows down as we cruse along at a normal pace.

We continue to go under the sun sets completely and were left with night as we kick on the lights. I see a person standing in the middle of the road as I swerve away from him. My motorcycle falls as it skids across the gravel as it presses into my leg and I yell at the burning feeling. My elbows feel raw before I stop and slam my back into a tree off the road and my vision goes hazy. I pull the helmet off of me and let my hair fall lose as I attempt to pull the motorcycle off of me.

I see the figure walk up to me my vision slowly starting to fade as I see the similar features of my best friend Leon. "L-Leon?" I whisper out as I notice his evil eyes and I flinch back. "Hello." He says smirking wickedly at me. "Why why were you in the road?" I ask. "To take you home. You've been here to long, they've brainwashed you. Asher says he's sorry. He wants you home. He even would give you back your rank." He beams excitingly. "No way!" I whisper as hope bubbles through my veins. "Estrella! Are you ok?" Cyprian yells as I try to respond before Leon hold his hand over my mouth to not tell my location.

I scream in his hand knowing full and well he's here to take me back to Asher so I can die. It doesn't take long for the disappointment to flow through me and for Cyprian arrive eyes ablaze red and narrowed on Leon. "Hunter." He hisses out as he extends his fangs. "Vernon." Leon says devilish. "You will die." Cyprian says darkly. "Cyprian he's my friend." I whisper as his red eyes soften at the sight of me helplessly leaning on the tree. "Well not anymore." His face contorts into the demon itself as I hold back my gasp as they charge at each other.
