I am the Daughter

Goodbye (30)

Wow 30 chapters, hate to say it but this book will be ending soon.. But good news is I may write a second book? Are ya'll down for that?

"The pits?" I ask eyeing both of them as Sterling sighs and shakes his head no. "It's nothing you need to worry about." Sterling says as I rub my teeth. "Believe me it's not something you want to know about. I need to go." He says looking at a clock on the wall. "Don't go. Stay here, really." I say as he smiles. "I would love to, but I can't disobey your fathers orders. I'll be back in a week or two. You should be healed by then, maybe you can hunt? But rouges of course. Anabelle will fix you up." He says with a slight smile.

"Don't leave." I beg once more. "God Estrella. Don't make this harder than it has to be. I need to go. I have to. It pains me to leave you but I must. Just know that I will be back and I don't plan to go anywhere anytime then." He says smiling and pulling me into a bone crushing hug. He leans down and kisses me slow and with so much desire. I flutter my eyes close as he takes control and deepens the kiss. We continue until eventually we both break for air and I feel someone's eyes on me.

"I must say the two of you would lead a strong kingdom." Tayo says in the background. Sterling chuckles as he looks down at me with love swirling in his blue eyes. "Yes we would. But we know who would call all the shots." He says as he smirks at me. "God man you are so whipped." Tayo whispers as Sterling turns his head so fast staring at Tayo. "And when Annabelle gets here? What then? We all know who's whipped in that relationship, whatever it is you seem to have." Sterling says narrowing his eyes.

Tayo goes silent as he turns his head the opposite direction. "Tayo leave." Sterling commands. He nods his head and quickly disappears. Sterling's eyes fall upon me again and he pulls me closer. "I think I'm falling in love with you Estrella. You make me weak in so many ways, if anything else happened to you I'm not sure I would make it. Now I must go. Just know that you'll be on my thoughts." He says leaning in and kissing my forehead. He departs from the embrace and waves goodbye as he steps to the door.

"I know I've already fallen." I whisper as he's about to shut the door giving him that last message I know he has heard. "Tayo!" I yell as I spin out of the living room and walk in some direction. "Ugh what?" He says annoyed as he appears next to me. "One who's Annabelle? Two where's my room?" I ask as Tayo groans. "Annabelle is a witch that will help you. Your room is upstairs to the right. Biggest wooden door." "What's your relationship with her? How the hell do you know everything about my house?" I ask crossing my arms over my chest.

"She's an old friend that I had feelings for. Still do. I've been here before, I've never seen your room, that's your personal area. But other than that when I go on business trips with my dad to Iceland I stay here. Your dad isn't as harsh as people make him out to be." Tayo says smiling. "But he couldn't even find his lost daughter, lead her to leave a false life and take her to the vampire world. Do you know how I felt when I was told I was half vampire? I'm a hunter, or I was for that matter and now I'm here in this new world and I'm tired of people telling me how nice my father is when he couldn't and didn't care about me!" I yell.

"Estrella please calm down." Tayo whispers as he backs off slowly. "I'm perfectly calm. I'm just tired of hearing bullshit." I say as Tayo's eyes flicker back and forth uncertain of what to say next. "He loves you Estrella, don't think he stopped looking for you. He looked years. Yes years. He never stopped, he just didn't know the right place to look. You have a kingdom, you have a title, you have everything. Don't think that this lifestyle is crap. Anyone would kill for your position, but no one would because they respect you." He says taking a breath.

"I don't think I'll be able to ever believe that." I whisper turning my head facing the living room. "Then I don't know what to tell you. Do you want me to help you get upstairs? She'll be here tomorrow to heal you up." He asks as I shake my head. "No. I need something to eat." I say as he nods his head. "May I flash you now?" "Is the kitchen really that far that I can't walk?" I ask annoyed. "No but I thought I'd ask. I can sense you are in pain." "Well stop sensing then, I feel fine." I say as he shakes his head. "Wait until Sterling's blood wears out of your system, you'll be feeling full effects." He says as he walks slowly signing me to follow him.

"It's almost out of your system you do know this right? You've been dosed pretty high to not feel anything, I know it's sliming down. Has to be." He says scanning me detecting something. "Then I take the pain." I say as he ticks his tongue. "I'll take it for you. It's the least I can do for my queen." "Not queen yet. Can halfs even take the throne?" I ask as he laughs. "Yea why wouldn't they be able to? You may be turned to a full or not. That depends upon your father." He says as we enter a dimly light room.

"What does my father have to do with me being turned?" I ask. "Your father would use his own blood to turn you. A master vampire has loyalty from those he turns. Say you get turned for instance by someone else, you would be loyal to that one person. If your father turned you, and he died you would be loyal to no one. Hence why you would be able to run a effective kingdom, without ties to anyone. I almost have a hunch that he won't even try to, based off the fact that you are part vampire like him."

"I've been informed you are to drink a cup of blood with every meal, and I say it starts tonight." He adds on smirking as I groan loudly.
