Zane's POV

I lay Lucinda down on the bed. She's sleeping. She's so beautiful. I kiss her cheek then leave the room. I walk to the dinning room and see Daniel. My old friend. "Is this how you get all your women 'master'? By compelling them and their lover?" Daniel asks me as he sits at the table

"What? You do not think she would not love me if it were not for my "gift" of persuation?" I ask him

"Of couse not! Did she ot leave this mutt for you once before? Did she not bare his child? If it were not for you to interveen she would still be cuddling with that fucking mutt talking about how they want to kill you!"

"All I did was help her decide wich man was best for her."

"Man? Niether of you are techincally human!"

"Neither are you!"

"I don't go around pretending to be human now do I?"

"Daniel you don't do much."

"No it's just I don't get caught. Unlike you and Claire."

"Ever?"

"Ever."

I see Lucinda walk into the room wearing a beautiful white gown. Her black straight hair falls down to her waist. She smiles at me as she walks over to me. She sits on my lap. "Hello Luv." I tell her

"Hello." She says and kisses me lightly

"Do you honestly think this will go well Zane?" Daniel asks me

"How can it not?" I ask him

"I have a few ideas..."

"Well you are wrong! She loves me! Don't you Lucinda?" I ask her

"Of course I do." She tells me

"Then why does she still wear the necklace the mutt gave her?" Daniel asks me

I look at her neck to see Daniel was right. I gently grab the locket and open it. A picture of her, the baby and the mutt placed inside it. I close the locket and break it off her neck. She gasps and touches her neck where the locket once lay. "What was that?" She asks me

"Oh, nothing my love." I tell her

She gets up and I follow her lead. I can feel Daniel's glare burn into my back. I walk with Lucinda in the halls of the castle. My Queen deserves only the best. We turn a corner and I hear screaming and glass breaking. I release Lucinda's hand and smile at her. "Go back to the kitchen. Find something to eat. I'll be there soon. I promise." I tell her

 She smiles at me and says "I will be waiting for you." suductively

I watch as she dissapears into the next hall then I make my way to the chaos. I find myself in Claire's room. Of course. She's always had a flair for the dramatics. I walk into her room to find her breaking everything in her room while she cries. "What the hell is going on!" I yell at her

"I hate you! I hate this castle! I hate everything!" She screams at me

"Well don't you sound like a real teenager?"

"I wish I was! I never wanted this Zane! You did! You turned me into a monster! I never wanted this!"

"If it weren't for me you would have died! You were sick and I cured you! You should be thanking me!"

"At least back then I could have died! I could have died like a normal human being! I could have gotten married and had a baby! But NO! YOU TOOK THAT FROM ME! YOU DESTROYED EVERYTHING! YOU TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME!" She grabed a vase full of flowers and threw it at me
