Royal Blood

chapter 17

What is the worst thing that could happen to you when you are in an unknown place captured by someone that wants you dead and decide to go after her and give her some of her own medicine?

Probably die screaming in a really horrible and painful way.

I sure as hell I am not ready to die especially like this...I mean I haven't even lived yet. My whole life has been marked with pain, rejection and emptiness. Sure I had my moments of happiness but I was never was happy for long...I haven't done anything yet. I am too young to die...I don't want to die. I think and then I hear someone crushing to the ground. I turn around and watch Jo sits on the ground out of breath.

''What happened?'' I ask trying to see how she tripped and she smiles ''I guess the wolf flower finally start working. My eyes widen at her words as realization hits me hard in the face ''Wolf flower? That is why you said you are dying?'' I ask suddenly feel the worst person in this world and she nods ''What wolf flower?'' asks Ian while trying to pull her back to her legs ''they cut me with silver knives and put wolf flower in the wound...it is poison to my kind'' I feel tears in my eyes and she roll her own ''I am not dead yet so cut it ok? I probably have a couple of hours...enough time to get you guys out of here and kill the bitch'' ''There is no antidote?'' ask Ian and strokes her cheek making me feel even worse while I shook my head ''not that I know'' I watch her get back to her legs with effort and suddenly all the pain I could see in her face was erased. ''In this case...last wish? Kill the bitch'' she said and start walking again ''Were are you going?'' I ask and she smiles at me in a creepy way ''Last wish baby'' and then starts walking again.

And here i am thinking I do not want to die while my best friend will cause of me ''Get out of here, Ian help her please. You need to say good bye to your mate at least'' ''What? I need to finish this'' ''No you don't Josephina...you will...you will just make it harder for me to kill her. You are weak and need to leave'' I say and her eyes widen '' ''Is that what you think?'' she asks and I can feel her hurt.

This will probably hurt me more than all the tortures the first vampire could do to me....but if she is about to die I think she at least deserves to be with her mate instead of a fucking cell that smells blood and death ''Yes'' I say and feel Ian hand touch my shoulder ''You know what? I started all this to save you with Rick and I was tortured for days for you but if you think I will be a...liability to you...then fine. I am out'' she says and starts walking tower a door but suddenly stops. I feel my heart stop as well expecting her to hit the ground but she just turns around and look at me. ''We are in the werewolf palace by the way she must be in her room, third floor second door'' then she turns again and leaves ''She must be right you know she has been here before with her mate....i mean in the palace'' ''Why he didn't come after her?'' I ask feeling angry with him and...with Ricky. He didn't look for me either. ''I am not sure...he might be dead as well'' he says ''Poor girl find him just to lose him'' he says and I nod. ''Let's move'' he says and we start walking again making no sounds at all.

I open a door that leads out of the cell room just to get face to face with a really tall blonde vampire with sharp teeth and a white dress with blood stains (I can bet not her blood).

I feel Ian comes in front of me to protect me and her eyes widen full of anger before she runs tower us and hit him so hard he flied to the air and hit the ground almost fifty yards away. ''Even now you PROTECT HER'' she screams and runs back to him. I can just watch as he keeps hits him and blood start flowing of his mouth ''STOP IT'' I scream with a power in my voice I didn't know I possessed. She turned tower me and raise a perfect shaped brow and smirked ''look at you making demands...like I actually would listen'' she says and watch her kick him in the head leaving him unconscious. I knew she was strong but I could never imagine how strong.

In no time she was in front of me ''I just can't seem to can get rid of you...even if I kill you you will reborn more beautiful, powerful and stupid'' she said and slapped me hard in the face.

I found myself in the floor and touched my lips feeling blood in my mouth. ''You know if you had just rejected him I would never found about you...you might had even survived, meet a nice guy, have some kids and die at your bed with your loved us around. But no you had to go after HIM. You just had to hu?'' I feel her pull me to my legs just to punch me and me hit the floor again. '' What have I done to you?'' I ask while trying to cough my breath. Maybe if she keeps talking I will find a way to get the upper hand. ''Oh sorry. My fault. Let me tell you a story. '' I watch her taking a seat at the floor next to me and give me a really creepy look before her facial expression turn to perfection. Her eyes were big and ice blue while her lips were blood red. She looked more than beautiful.

''Oh well once upon a time a beautiful and wealthy girl lived with her parents and her maid in a small town happily. One day she met a man with ice blue eyes and perfect hair. She immediately fall for him and wanted to marry her but he...he had eyes for the maid and the maid only.'' She looked angry now ''The girl was crazy in love with him and would do everything to make him hers....even selling her soul to a witch. The girl turned into a beautiful monster that needed blood to survive for him but he still choose her...he still married her, he still fathered her children'' suddenly her eyes got a crazy glimpse ''and then she realized she only needed to make him like her to keep him...but even after he wanted the bloody maid and his kids...so I killed them'' she says with a smile and looks at me ''But the witch said those two were meant to be together and as long he was alive she would reborn...and destiny will always pull them together. I had to torture her for hours before she tells me in what blood line she would be born...'' she was so lost in her story that she didn't see Ian who had found his senses and run tower her.

In one quick move he kicked her in the head and I saw her hit the ground. Without thinking I jump into action and bite her throat tipping a piece. I hear a piercing scream coming from her mouth just a moment before I see the life leave her eyes. I look at Ian and he looked at me.

It is over. I thought and a small smile found it is way to my lips.

It is really over. I will not have to run, hide or fear her anymore.

It was really over.

''it is over'' I whispered and I felt a tear run down my cheek. I felt him run to my side and pull me into a hug. I realized he was taking me away from the dead body and I was glad for it. Sure enough at any moment I would realized that I just killed someone and sure this would left me hurt, confused and scared but for now....for now I just hide my face to his chest and let this new reality where I do not had to hide my royal blood exist.

''I wouldn't phrase it like this but oh well'' says a feminine voice. I feel him pull me behind his back in a protective way. All I can see is the dead body at the floor turn into ashes as the voice talks again ''You really thought it would be so easy to kill me'' I pick throw Ian's shoulder and watch the first vampire with her beautiful golden curls laugh at me. ''Poor kid...no wonder I kill you every time'' she says and a small freakish smile covers her face as my eyes widen and my heart start beats faster.
