Take no chances (On hold)

Long lost- Chapter 10

I was sitting on one of the barstools in the kitchen humming to myself the next night. I felt nervous, but also thrilled at the same time knowing I was going to go against the rules tonight. As for now i was stuck with the annoying job of stamping Master Vincents details on stupid "bussiness" cards for the guests arriving at the party tonight. I honestly didn't see the point in doing this because they have nothing worth putting on the bright red carded paper, I doubt a name and an adresss is of much rememberance. To add to the cards i also had to place a small wax seal with his initials in the corner. Waste of my time.

Patting my neat pile of cards together on the counter top I observed my work, so much cards and for nothing.

Sighing i swirled around on my bar stool shutting my eyes as i twirled in circles. After a bit I became a bit bored and stopped facing the counter once again. I blinked rapidly feeling a tad dizzy. Oh this is great, I tilted slightly to the side about to fall sideways off of the chair. I gasped as I realised I indeed was falling. Shutting my eyes tightly I waited for the impact I knew was sure to come in a matter of milliseconds.

I was centimetres from reaching the floor when an arm was hooked underneath my body and my eyes snapped open instantly.

"Wow, you always did do the most dumbest things when you got bored" a mans voice spoke, humour in his voice.

"Uh, w-what?" I stammered as I realised he said that in pretense. Who was this man?

He lifted me up onto my feet and I kept my head down as I sorted out my now rumpled uniform. I started with my apron and worked my way up. A blush crept onto my face as I realised the strap on my dress had fallen down along with the whole right side, revealing my dark blue bra. This is so embarassing. I quickly pulled It back up and stared at the mans feet not wanting to meet his eyes.

He coughed after nearly a minute later and spoke again "You know.. looking at me wouldn't hurt" he snickered.

I tightened my pony tail and turned my body away from him "Uh, y-yeah" I murmured awkwardly.

I hoped he would go away and leave me to my embarassment. Instead he stood right infront of me and slowely lifted my head up.

"Keira" he croaked, voice now sounding raspy with emotion.

Confused I looked up and gasped "L-Luke!" I blurted out, tears brimming my eyes. It can't be true. No way. I sprang towards him and wrapped my arms around him in a bone crushing hug. Feeling safe in his arms.

Flashback 3 years ago-

"Hey Keira!" A young boy shouted as me and Clay ran through the forest to him.

"What is it Luke" I smiled up at him, he's started to grow alot recently. He looked down at his feet and I followed. I giggled excitedly "Oh Luke, they are so cute and smal!"

Infront of his feet was a nest and three small baby birds wiggling about inside it. Clay pokes me in my ribs and spoke "where's the mum and dad Keira?"

I looked down at him into his big hazel eyes "They're probably out there looking for food" I replied.

We all sat around the nest to watch them, each of our faces delighted. Luke and Clay began to chat and I heard a quite rustling sound in the bushes nearby and quickly glanced up, but after seeing nothing I went back to watching the birds. Seconds passed by when suddenly something ran past at an incredible speed so that nothing could of been seen. I gasped and lifted up my head to see the spot that Luke had occupied was now empty.

I hastely jumped to my feet "Luke! Where are you!?" I shouted turning around in circles trying to see where he went.

I was becoming increasingly worried but I was too afraid of going into the forest for I don't know what could be lurking around. I heard a scream in the distance, It was so far away and it quickly faded into the forest.

I've lost Luke.

-End of flashback

I released him from my hug and looked at his transformed appearance. He's changed so much from the 13 year old boy I knew. Luke stood there with a big smile plastered on his face, bright blue eyes gleaming. He wore a black short sleeved blouse that was a bit tight and complimented his muscley figure perfectly and a pair of dark denim jeans. I must have been standing there for a while just taking him in because he ran a hand through his sandy blonde hair and looked away shyly.

I snapped my eyes back up to his face blushing slightly. After recovering myself I said the first thing that was probably on both our minds "What are doing here?"

He took a step towards me and gazed into my eyes smiling grimly, he sighed

"On that day 3 years ago in the woods I was taken by a vampire and brought here. I didn't know what was going on but after a day or two he made me clean the house. Ofcourse as I got older I became of better use and I am now Master Vincents human bodyguard" he bit his lip and saw the confusion on my face "and before you ask why he needs a human as his body guard or let alone need one in the first place well i don't know the answer to that. Oh and yes, I have tried to escape. Believe me I have. I just gave up" he muttered trying to smile.

So many emotions were running through me right now.

I was happy to have found him but also sad at the new knowledge of what he must of been going through for the past three years.

The look on his face told me it was my turn to share.

I swallowed "I was in the forest about 2 weeks ago with Clay scavenging around and I was also taken by that monster to work here, as a maid" I clenched my jaw in anger and muttered under my breath quietly "bastard"

"So Clay didn't get taken?" Luke asked hopefully, his eyes wide.

"Uh..well thats the thing. Im not too sure where he is, but I have a fair idea" I quietly spoke and rubbed my cheek to feel that a tear had fallen.

"You think you might know where he is?" he asked suprised with interest.

I nodded my head and looked away "yeah but I'm not even sure I can do anything about it"

Luke took a step forward and picked up both of my hands and looked into my eyes.

"I'm here for you now Keira and I will make sure to do anything I can to help you" he said, gently squeezing my hands in a comforting gesture.

Taking a deep breath I told him everything that had happened to me since I got here and was suprised and relieved to know that he was the one who brought me to my room that night. I explained that I wanted to get into the party and when I was done he smiled

"I have the perfect plan for tonight, but it has to be done perfectly. Otherwise everything could fall apart and who knows what could happen in a room full of vampires" he announced, ending in a serious tone his smile now gone.

"Get ready to take chances Keira"
