But, I love you more (Vampire Series - Book 3)

Chapter 6

It took the rest of the week to get everything in place, and another week and a half after that to slowly start teleporting small groups of people to the hotel. Finally, a month after they'd started the lockdown, they were ready to go. It was just Persephone, Vic, Dillion, Alex, Stefan, and Daniella. Victoire, Ercole, Kai, Anton and Tara had all been part of the first group to go, Tara needing to get the monster fuckers set up and comfortable. All of the vampires were looking haggard and worn, faces pale and eyes dark. They were getting snappy, too, the last week filled with fighting and arguments. Even Stefan had started to lose his patience.

Persephone had gathered all of them into the living room, making sure everyone was packed up. Princess was in her cat carrier, angry but quiet. Eloisa gave them all a grin before pulling Persephone outside.

"Alright, last push little witch. But there's a slight change in plans. You're taking all of them and getting out of here, and I'll meet you guys at the hotel."

"If you're not with us in two hours I'm coming to get you," they said sternly. Eloisa waved them off with a laugh.

"Thirty minutes max or I'll send a message, I just gotta take care of something," Eloisa glanced into the night where Persephone could see the truck that Vic pointed out as Emily's, a dark red Chevy. "You should get going."

"Alright," they passed her a spell jar. "In a pinch."

"Thanks, kiddo," she winked, putting it in her cardigan pocket. She patted their shoulder before they walked back in together.

"Okay, everyone ready?" Persephone asked. There was a chorus of agreement. They passed the carrier over to Vic and her, Daniella and Stefan stood in the middle. Dillon, Devin, Persephone and Alex stood around them casting. It only took a few seconds to teleport but it was never fun. When they got to the hotel. Everyone ran inside while the coven stood on all four sides, reinforcing the enchantment. "Well, hopefully this will help," they said as they walked in last. Daniella was grabbing their room keys from the concierge, waving them over as they walked towards the elevator. They all piled in, Daniella hitting the button for the top floor.

"We're all on the top floor, Stefan and I are in the penthouse suite. Here's your keys. Persephone I put you and Vic in the same room, hopefully everyone's accommodations are to their liking. I'll be placing a grocery and other supplies order tomorrow so let me know if you need anything," she passed out their room keys, and the bell dinged. Victoire was waiting at the elevator with two bags of blood, and Daniella and Stefan tore into them immediately, both of them spilling slightly from desperation.

"We have more in the room, we harvested from some of Tara's friends," he informed them. They took off running in the direction of the open door without another word.

"Gnarly," Vic wrinkled her nose slightly.

"Well, I believe we earned a day to ignore the hell out of everyone," Dillion said as she dragged Alex down the hall.

"I'm gonna go find my sister," Devin side-hugged Persephone before tearing off.

"Shall we?" Persephone asked. Vic took their hand, tugging on it gently.

"We shall. These walls are much thicker," she sighed in relief. "I can't hear and smell everyone at once. Dibs on the first dip in the jacuzzi tub this place definitely has," she joked, kissing their cheek. Persephone swiped the card and pushed the door open, taking a look around the room. This was definitely one of the expensive ones. There was a kitchenette, a small living room, and an open door that they could see a bed and dresser in, sheets a pristine white color.

"It's cute," they said, letting Princess out. She started scent marking on everything. They set up her little travel litter box really quick and tossed her toys over the room. Vic took their bags to the bedroom, disappearing.
