Sold to a Vampire

Chapter 15

V15) After Damien confessed his feelings, we were sort of together but just secretly. Almost felt like Romeo and Juliet except for Romeo is a vampire and Juliet is his human slave. We couldn't tell anyone about it because obviously it'd be really bad. We couldn't even tell Mark, Lauren, and Sarah. Just because it was a secret though, it didn't stop Damien from messing with me at school. He'd put his hand on my leg while we sat at our desks. The first time he did that, I jumped which caused everyone to laugh and for the teacher to stare at me funny. I just told the teacher humans do that sometimes, and he actually bought that. It was kind of hard not to be affectionate towards Damien, but I knew doing that in public is definitely bad. At home though, we were pretty affectionate. One day after school we were both in our room when someone rang the doorbell. We both snuck out of the room and looked through the stairway railings and watched as a maid let in the dean of our school into the house. We both glanced at each other with worried looks. Xavier came in and greeted the dean. "What did you want to talk about?" Xavier asked him. "I know we've been friends for a long time Xavier, but I need to talk to you about your son and his pet." The dean said, and I stuck my tongue out at him for calling me a pet. "You mean Rose, and she's not a pet. She's a part of my family." Xavier said to him. The dean nodded and said, "Yes, Rose. The problem is, I think her and Damien are getting too close. I hears rumors that go amongst the students at my school and I'm just worried about it. She causes a lot of problems at my school and Damien's grades are starting to slip because of her." "Last time I checked, your other students were causing problems for her, and I never saw you or any of your staff do anything when one of your students cornered an innocent girl in the bathroom and cut her and left her there for the other students to feed on her. My son was the one who saved her. You didn't even punish the girls who did that to Rose because you don't see her as anything but a pet." Xavier said with controlled anger to the dean. The dean looked flustered for a moment and said, "Well I just wanted to warn you that she's starting to catch the attention of the Parliament and if they see a reason to step in, they will take that chance in a heartbeat." With those parting words, the dean left and Damien and I both crawled back to our room so Xavier wouldn't see us. I sat on the edge of the bed and Damien could see the worry written all over my face. He came over to me and wrapped his arms around me. "Don't worry, Rose. Nothing's going to happen." Damien reassured me. "But what if something does happen? Then they'll take me away from you and probably kill me." I said to him as I looked down at my lap. He grabbed my chin and pulled my face up so I was looking at him. "I won't ever let that happen. I'll always be here to protect you, I won't let them take you away from me." Damien told me, then kissed me passionately. I couldn't help but to melt from the kiss and kiss back. I still had a nagging feeling in my head that something might go wrong.
