I am the Daughter

Who Dies First? (23)

I watch as the two circle each other as I leans on the tree grasping my leg. I see a flash of silver in Leon's hand and I notice Cyprian's red eyes and sharp fangs. "Why?" I whisper as Leon gives me a look giving Cyprian the time to strike as he leaps at him. I notice Leon lets out a cry as Cyprian scratches him on his arm. I watch as Leon whips his arm out as he tries to slice his arm.

Cyprian dodges with ease as he continues to slice the air with his knife. I try to get up and help but I look at the mess my leg is at and I see glass deep inside my leg and I groan. Where the heck did the glass come from? The headlights? I watch the two of them fight and I notice my vision fading slightly. I then notice Leon is growing weaker as Cyprian has a wicked gleam in his eye at the weakness. I see claw marks all over Leon's arms and legs and I attempt to stand up causing a burst of pain shoot up my body. I scream at the pain and I hear Cyprian growl loudly.

"You hurt her. Do you fucking realize she's human too? She can't heal like I can. You hurt the Princess and if I don't kill you now all vampires will be out for your head. I do hope you know who her father is." Cyprian lashes out. "And you don't realize that I can take those vampires. Her father? Her fucking father never came for her! He never sought to find her, not once. He cared more about his precious species than he did his own daughter. He only cares now because in 300 years she'll take the throne. If he even hands it down." Leon yells.

"Don't you fucking dare talk about my father like that. He has his reasons for leaving me. Don't act like you know this side of my life. You basically kicked me out of the Hunters. You never fought for me. Not once!" I yell at him with my scratchy voice. "You truly are one of them. Blood sucking monster!" Leon yells as tears stream down my face while my vision becomes blurry. "I'm loosing too much blood." I whisper at the blurred vision of Cyprian before I slouch over and on the cool ground.

"I'll end this and get you home." He says as I close my eyes and fall into the darkness. I feel cool hands pick me up as I lean into someone's chest enjoying the cooling feeling on my burning body. I feel wind flow by my face before I hear people running towards me. "What happened!?" Voices ask as the mingle into one as I truly pass out. I see bright lights above me and feel my body resting on a soft bed and I flitter my eyes open.

I notice I'm laying on a soft white bed with bright lights above me, I notice the white walls and I then now I'm in some kind of hospital. I sit up quickly and I groan slightly as the pain that laces up my body from my leg. I flinch at the bright lights and I feel a pounding headache forming. I hear the door open as I squint my eyes at the visitor. "Turn the lights off please." I beg as I see the lights dim. "You need to lay back down. You are not in the condition to move like that." A voice I've never heard says.

"Who are you?" I ask as he walks closer towards me and I notice the graying hairs and wrinkles. "I'm Logan. I'm a doctor, your father hired me a long time ago." "Your only human?" I ask as he nods his head with his brown eyes. "Yes I am. I've been taken well of my years being here. It's quite the honor to meet you, I've heard so much. It's just such a shame that we couldn't meet under better terms than this. I removed the glass from your leg as it is stitched up and in a cast to keep it sanitary and clean. You have burns on your elbows but those are slowly healing. Overall you will live." He says laughing as I smile lightly.

"Where is everyone?" I ask as his face twists into stone. "They are all on the Hunter lands." He says monotone. "So your telling me that they left me?" I ask slowly. "Considering your current condition and you father not wanting you to go it makes sense for you not to go." "So no one is here?" I ask. "No people are still here. Mostly humans but some people stayed behind to protect the castle. Your father is on a business trip figuring out some stuff, he'll be back soon. He worries for your health but knows you are in good hands. He also mention you are to not go ride on motorcycles anymore." He says as I groan.

"So Sterling is away I assume?" I ask as he nods his head. "I think you both would lead a great kingdom." He says a I stare at him. "Excuse me?" I ask sharply. "I didn't mean to offend you. I just assumed you both were a thing. I'm sorry Estrella." He says as I sigh leaning back on my bed starring at the dimmed lights. "I need blood." I say at I turn my head at him. "You've had plenty. Not only did we give you some we gave you Sterling's blood as well." "So you're saying I have his blood in my veins? And why did you do that?" I ask.

"You had lost so much blood human blood wasn't helping and vampire blood tends to help and heal faster. We assumed Sterling would be right since you wouldn't get mad at him. Plus he volunteered, he's crazy about you. If he didn't have to fight he would be here with you." "Who's dead?" I whisper. "Leon." He says softly and I feel tears begin to flow down my face. "It's for the best. He hurt you. He asked for his death wish." He says as I turn my tears eyes in his direction. "Please leave." "As you wish." He says nodding his head as he leaves and sobs rack my body.
