Dark dwellers

Explorings

Katherine's POV:
I walked through the corridor of the floor that contained mine and lailah's room. I started from the first room, and from the pictures on the walls, I knew this room belonged to Kasper I checked the third one.

This room was all pink. Big teddybears were scattered all over the room, and by the looks of it I knew it belonged to thyme.

I went to the fifth room, two guards guarded the unusually big oak door. They looked at me with suspicion, before they let me in. An almost familiar smell lingered in this room. This room was darker than the rest of the rooms. A big guitar stood near the headpost of the bed. Something deep inside, urged me towards that guitar.
I wanted to touch it, hold it and play it. I resisted the feeling and moved on with my explorings .

I checked the other rooms on my floor. Then I walked the stairs to the upper floor. The air here was somehow colder than the floors below. It was dark up there. The floor consisted only one door in a far away corner.

I absentmindedly walked over to the door and placed my hand on the knob. I assumed it was a large attic that stored all kinds of stuff. Suddenly the hairs on my nape stood up as a felt a cold breath near the back of my neck.

"This is not a room that needs to be bothered about, by you..frail creature. If you want to be safe then don't come up here. If I catch you up here alone again, I will drain your blood. Do remember one thing frail creature, you need to fear me because you are prey and I am the predator."

The voice hissed, I shivered slightly. The voice contained an ancient accent, that offered no concern for any kind. The ultimate predators, this was all that the voice spoke of.

I turned around to look at the owner of the voice but, all I saw was a gust of wind pass around one of the corners down the corridor. A shiver ran down my spine. Turning on my heel, I ran down the stairs as if I was set on fire.

I reached the ground floor and my heart bounced in my chest as I gazed at the perfect architecture of this palace. It was like a maze. You could loose your way anytime. I decided to look all straight ahead. I walked down this corridor and found the living room, two guards were posted at the other end of this hall, near the main entrance. I turned to my right and walked down the corners.

I finally reached a room that was most probably the kitchen. I dining table in the centre confirmed it. I looked around as servants were busy preparing so much. I walked to the kitchen counters, a servant bowed to me. "How can we help you ma'am? Do you need something?"

She asked politely. "Do you keep human food?" I asked hesitantly.
"We surely do ma'am. What would you like to have? Please have a seat ma'am." The servant pulled a chair from the table for me.

I was having a pizza when suddenly there was a commotion amongst the servants. I asked on of them. "They are here. The highnesses are here ma'am." The servant scurried away.

"Oh..at last the king and the next hier is here. So let's see who are they." I murmered to myself.

I tried to remember which way was the hall but I just couldn't. I turned corridors and walked through passages.

I reached a day dead end. Finding no way to go, I turned around and was walking straight back when I spotted a door that I suppose was left open accidently.

Straight through the small gap in the door I saw a queen sized bed. Sprawled on it were two bodies, complete wrapped in eachother and the covers. My face flushed pink when I realised what situation they were in, I was about to run away when my eyes caught a pair of crystal blue once. I had seen them somewhere. But, I couldn't put my finger on the person they belonged to. Who was it?
I walked away thinking to myself.

By the time I found the big hall, the highnesses had already been welcomed and the were now off to thier rooms, they needed rest after travelling.

I thought I would continue to explore, atleast it kept the homesickness from getting on me.

I walked down the hall to the other side. Again I could see a door at the end of the corridor. I walked straight for it. I knocked slowly at the oak door. A harsh and stern voice commanded from inside. "Come in?"

I walked in, and I almost turned and walked back at the site of the person I saw. They were two people or vampires. One behind a giant sized office table looked elderly but still handsome.

But the other one was the one who I didn't want to see. It was Max, Scott's elder brother. "What the fuck are you doing here?" I hissed.

"Well, this is my place and I can come here anytime. You are the one who is to be questioned, not me." He growled.

"Stop it you two." I looked at the elder vampire. "Max, this is not the way to talk to guests, I will not except this kind of behaviour here. Get it?" He finished looking at both of us. "Yes...your majesty." Max bowed to him.

Majesty? Crap! This man was their king? "Sure..umm..your majesty." I bowed too.

The day was long, as I had explored the palace. I played with thyme for sometime as she had insisted on me to play. I had a talk with Kasper about why I had been brought here. But, he simply refused to tell me anything. So, I was now in my bed as I tried to sleep.
