love that binds me

chapter 14

i blinked a few times. trying to focus on something.

"she wanted to see the view but then she leaned over to far. i think she might have been a little tipsy. i tried to catch her." Ariel sniffled.

the little liar. But why would she lie about what really happened?

"i know you did Arie. its ok. she'll be fine in a few hours. " Christopher responded. his hand caressed my face but i was to weak to move away.

"Until then i'll stay with her. Go spend time wit Tali she's in your office. " Ariel encouraged.

"No. I'll stay with jothi Angel."

"But she's waiting-" he cut her off.

"Jothi ? Angel are you ok?" Christopher asked me.

my eye lids felt heavy and when they did open slightly everything was blurred.

"Don't try to open your eyes your heavily medicated. what were you thinking ?" he touched the side of my face.

i groaned. i didn't want him to touch me or be near me when i was so weak. what if he hurt me? Or if he took advantage of my weakened state?

he moved his hand.

"Did you think you had wings?" he said jokingly. If only he knew the irony.

"Christopher i think you should let her rest." Ariel tried again.

This time her stubborn brother agreed and left with a quick.

"Get well soon."

When he was gone ariel walked around the bed.

"No wonder you cost me a fortune! $76,000! Madame said you were the last of your kind. i thought she meant your breeding or rank. Your a-a nephilim!"

That was the first time i heard a name for what i was.

she hesitantly walked closer.

"I read about beings like you. Fallen Angels breeding with mortal woman. So ur not human, but your lower than a vampire. It also helps that your beautiful. Which makes you perfect. While Tali is a loyal pawn, my brother takes interest in you."

i didn't understand what she meant, but it made me sick to my stomach.

"To bad you dislike me. Then again i can fix that with a bite."

A whimper got caught in my throat. She planned on biting me.

"You see i have two older brothes, i had an older sister, and six younger siblings. Although only three of us are royal. You see ever since i was little i wanted to be queen, i almost had it to when our eldest brother was shunned from our family. But then there was one more brother."

She played in my hair and sat on the side of the bed.

My heart beat sped up.

"i need my dear brother out of the picture."
