Sold to a Vampire

Chapter 13

V13) I sighed as I looked down at the cellphone in my hands. I've been practicing for a week already and this is the first time I've had a day off. I dialed a number on my phone and my heart dropped when the receiver said, "Sorry, your call couldn't be made to the number you have dialed because you are not in the same region." Since I've started singing again, it's been making me think of home. My dad was the one who encouraged me to start singing and I know it must be killing him since I'm missing on Earth. I really miss him. As I sat there and sighed, my phone rang. I quickly answered it, "Dad!?" "Hey Rose, it's Daniella." The person on the other line said. I felt kind of stupid thinking it was my dad and said, "Oh, hey Daniella. How'd you get my number?" "When you left your purse at the club, your phone was in it so I saved your number in my phone. But hey, you wanna hang out at the beach with us today?" She asked me. "I don't think Damien would want to go after what happened last time." I told her. "Then you come. Just sneak out and I'll come pick you up." She told me. "I don't know if that's a good idea." I said to her. "Come on. You're always in that house, come out for one night without being around bloodsuckers." She said to me. I sighed and said, "Fine. I'll go." "Great! I knew you'd say yes. I'll be at your house in 10 minutes. Meet me out at the street." She told me and then hung up. I put the phone in my pocket and went to my closet. I grabbed a scarf and put it around my neck since the bite marks were still noticeable. I put on a jacket and then quietly went into the hallway. I tiptoed down the stairs and then went to the back door. I went through the door and quietly shut it behind me. I ran from the back door the the front gate. I climbed over the fence to the other side. I then jogged to the street and saw Daniella's car waiting there for me. I got in the car and she drove away. I couldn't help but feel something bad was going to happen as I watched Damien's house get smaller from the side mirror.Once we arrived at the beach, we both got out of the car and I saw lots of people on the beach either around the bonfire, playing football, or swimming. I followed Daniella towards the bonfire when I saw Derek and the others from the night when I went to the club were there. Derek looked a little shocked when he saw me there, but he came over and hugged Daniella. He then looked at me and said, "Hey Rose." "Hey." I said back, feeling a little awkward. "Can we talk?" He asked me. I nodded and him and I started to walk along the beach. "I'm sorry about the way I was acting the first time we met." Derek said to me. "It's alright. Why were you acting so hostile though? You got along with Sarah and Lauren pretty well." I said to him. He thought for a second and then said, "I'm all about getting along with vampires, but a part of me just hates the vampires' royal family. Guess its just instinct the princes of two races dislike each other." "Wait, you're a prince?" I asked him as we both sat down on a log that was on the beach. "Pretty much, yeah. My dad is the alpha." He told me. "But can't you just look past titles and what happened in the past to make a better relationship between werewolves and vampires?" I asked him. "It's just not easy. Humans wouldn't really understand that." Derek told me. Just then a strong breeze blew on us and my scarf flew off. Just before I was going to grab it, Derek grabbed my arm and with his other hand pushed my head to the side exposing my neck. My heart started to beat faster when I knew he was looking at the bite marks. His grip on my arm tightened as he said angrily, "He bit you, didn't he?" His body started to shake as I tried to pull my arm out of his grip. "Derek, you need to calm down. It's not that bad." I said to him. He then bursted into a giant brown wolf, and his claws dug themselves into my arm as he changed. I pulled my arm away, which caused him to scratch me. I picked up my scarf as I quickly ran away from the beach. I ran as far as I could until I reached a house. I knocked on the door and held my bleeding arm as I waited for someone to open the door. An elderly woman opened the door and she ushered me inside when she saw my arm. I sat at her kitchen table as she came in the kitchen with a first aid kit. "Thank you so much for helping me." I said to her as she started to stitch the wounds up. "It's no problem, sweetie. But I can see from these scratches that it was done by a werewolf but the collar around your neck says you're owned by a vampire. I hope you know what you are getting yourself into by messing with the two races." She told me as she finished stitching up my arm and cleaning my arm. I thought about what she said, and to be honest I'm not sure what I've gotten myself into. She gave me a new shirt to wear and reassured me that the vampires wouldn't smell the blood. I thanked her and left her house. I walked on the side of the road deep in thought. As I was walking, a car pulled up besides me then it turned on blue and red flashing lights. Oh great, vampire cops. The cop got out of the car and walked towards me. "Are you Rose Blackwell?" He asked me. I just nodded and he grabbed his walkie talkie and said, "I found her." He escorted me to the car and I sat in the back seat as he drove off. He pulled up to Xavier's mansion and I could see everyone outside with worried faces. I got out of the car and Raven ran up and hugged me. "Rosie, why did you leave us?" She said with a sniffle. Xavier walked over to the cop and said, "Thank you so much for bringing her back." "It's our duty, King Xavier. Just put her on a leash next time." The cop said as he got in the car. I stuck my tongue out at him as he drove away. Xavier rushed us all inside and we all sat in the kitchen. I stared down at the kitchen table as Xavier said, "Rose, why would you run away? Don't you like it here?" "I wasn't running away. I just wanted to get out of the house for a little while so I took a walk through the woods and I got lost and ended up on a road so I decided to follow it until I got somewhere." I lied to them. I couldn't tell them where I really went. Especially couldn't tell Damien. Xavier looked at me for a few moments and said, "Alright. Just next time you go out bring Damien along with you. It's been a long night so lets all go to bed." We all went upstairs and I went into my room with Damien. I grabbed a long sleeved shirt with some pajama pants and went into the bathroom. I took off my shirt and looked at the stitches. I couldn't help thinking its going to leave a cool scar when it's healed. I took a quick shower and when I was finished I went to sleep very quickly that night
