Demons Of The Night

Chapter 9.

Fighting

Isabelle's Point Of View

I woke up, relieved I haven't had any dreams or visions that night. I stretched my muscles and found my way into the bathroom. I washed my teeth, and brushed my hair. Behind the mirror I found some pony tails and pulled my hair up into a messy bun. I turned my radio on listening to Justin Bribers love yourself.

I didn't realize how loud it was until Ezio opened my door. I was too busy dancing to notice him standing in my doorway until, I made a full 360 turn and saw him smirking at me. I was so embarrassed, I screamed. "No, please continue." Ezio had humor in his eyes. I couldn't believe it.

When he saw me staring, his composure changed from relaxed to stone cold. "I have to talk to you." Ezio said. He turned around and shut my door. He was instantly in front of me. He grabbed me by my waist and pulled me into a hug. It felt strange. This was unlike him. Usually he was harsh and hateful.

I couldn't stand it anymore, and I tried pushing him away from me. It was like pushing against a mountain. He got the hint and let me go. I saw blackness in his eyes. I was angry as well. "You can't just come in here and do those things to me. Ever since I came here, you have done everything to make me hate you. Now you come into my bedroom, laugh at my stupidness and want to hug me?"

I just stared at him. He was staring at me. Nothing was said for what felt like 30 minutes. There was a knock on the door. Ezio turned and opened it. Eric was standing there. "Oh, Hey Ezio! I'm just here to take Isabelle sight seeing around the castle!" Ezio looked at him with fury in his eyes.

"You are to not take Isabelle anywhere. She is to stay in her bedroom until I say other wise. Leave." Ezio slammed the door in Eric's face and turned to face me. "Stay away from Eric. All he wants is to piss me off, and he knows messing with you will do just that." I stared at him like he was crazy. He turned and stormed back to his room, slamming his door.

Ugh! I hated him! I have to be stuck in this room like a child. I just wanted to die. I was sick of being confused! I looked around for sharp objects. I didn't want to live anymore. I finally found a razor in the bathtub. I peeled the razor out of the plastic and pressed it against my right wrist. Without another thought, I pressed down and sliced through my veins. Blood poured out everywhere.

When I woke up, I was in a bedroom. I shot up out of bed and realized that I was no longer in my bedroom. I woke up beside the one man I feared most. Ezio. I turned to get up when suddenly I was pressed down into the mattress and Ezio was sitting on top of me pinning my arms back.

"What the hell were you thinking? " he had his fangs poking out like he was going to strike any moment. "I slapped against him, crying my eyes out. "I hate you." I kept screaming I hated him and that I wished I were dead so I could end my suffering. He got off of me and started pacing around the room.

"I can't just feel these feelings for her." He was angry. "I haven't felt this way in over thousands of years." He was talking to himself. "You don't understand, I have to protect my kingdom, I can't let a human stop me!" He kept on arguing with himself when suddenly he realized I was staring at him.

"Run away, now." I got up, and ran towards my bedroom and slammed the door. What the hell was that about? I looked down at my wrist and realized they were no longer split open with blood pouring out. How did he make it disappear? I waited in my bedroom until Ezio got finished destroying his. I put my maid outfit on and when he finally came out, it was almost night time. I walked in his bedroom and seen the damage he just made.

Everything was broken. Portraits, chairs, curtains. There were holes in the wall from when he punched through it. Man this is going to take forever to clean. I got the broom and dust pan and started cleaning the floor. I took the broken wood and started a fire in the fireplace. I had almost finished when he came back into the room.

I wonder how long he had been standing there watching me. "I've been here for a while watching you." He had confusion in his eyes. "Why are you cleaning? I haven't asked you to do this, it's almost night fall. It could have waited until the morning." I had to get over being afraid of him.

"I'm not real sure why I'm doing this." He stared at me for a moment when he finally spoke. "I am sorry about having your family killed." Was he seriously apologizing to me? I reached up and touched his arm and he dropped to his knees as soon as my touch meet his.

"Ezio?" I screamed! His eyes rolled into his head. "Help! The King has fallen!" Nobody was around.
