Demons Of The Night

Chapter 11.

Barfly

Isabelle's Point of View

I couldn't believe everything Ezio told me back there. If that was true then why couldn't I remember anything but happiness with my parents? I couldn't remember them ever hiding me. Alisha was playing the weeknds wicked games, while I took in the beauty of Serta. It was beautiful here. When it got dark, I could see billions of stars in the sky.

Alisha pulled me into a bar, and there were strobe lights everywhere. It reminded me of a rave. I had never been to one, but I heard they were fun. "Alisha, why are we here?" Alisha turned and glared at me. "Just because you are liked by the king does not mean you are the only one that gets to have any fun." She got out and slammed her door. Geez, what was her problem?

I got out and started walking towards the door. "I.D. ma'am?" I ran into the bouncer of the club. Shit. I noticed a nurse from the castle behind me. "She's okay, she lives with the king." The nurse spoke to the bouncer and he let me through. The nurse went her own way.

As I made my way over to the bar, I saw Alisha with her head tilted and a vampire drinking from her. Good riddance. I sat down and a petite red head came up from behind the counter. "How can I help you sweets?" She was really nice. "Um, I'm new to this scenery." I was completely embarrassed. "Don't worry love, I got you." She smiled. She immediately started throwing cups in the air juggling one after the other, and like magic I had a Red and black drink sitting in front of me.

"Be careful, that drink is strong, it will knock you on your ass." She laughed. "Thank you." At least I got to meet someone actually worth speaking to. "What's your name?" The bar maid asked me. "Isabelle Da Firenze, you?" Yes I know, my name is Italian. "Elizabeth Fret." She poured herself a drink and we laughed and talked about our problems like we were meant to be best friends.

Four hours and seventy shots later, I. Was. Drunk. It appeared as if Alisha finally found me and told me we had to go. "Why?" My words were so slurred. "The king is not going to be happy to know you are wasted." Alisha was mad. I laughed at her. "The kings not gonna be happy to know your wasted" I mocked her. "He wouldn't be too happy knowing his whore is out here bleeding out to other Vampires either." Elizabeth and I couldn't help ourselves from laughing.

"Well Lizzy, duty calls, I shall come back and see you if the King doesn't kill me." We laughed harder as I crawled into Alisha's car. When we got to the castle I saw Ezio about to get into his vehicle. Oh no, he looked really mad. Good. Haha. I laughed out loud and Alisha just shook her head. Ezio came to my door and snatched it open. "Where the he-" he stared at me in disbelief. "Heyo King Ezio. Don't be too angry with me. I drank, a lot. Don't worry though, I managed to not let others drain me." I looked over at Alisha and she was so mad I laughed. I didn't feel so good anymore. "Oh no, I don't feel so great." I leaned over and threw up all over Alisha's feet. "Ewww, you disgrace of a human!" Her words didn't bother me, I laughed at her with her ugly scrunched up face.

"Come on, Isabelle." Ezio was no longer playing with me. He was serious. I tried getting up off the car, it was no use. I couldn't see straight, let alone walk all the way to my bedroom. Ezio picked me up and things went black. I dreamed of him that night and it was as if I was seeing the future. I was laying on Ezio's bed, I had a golden flowered crown sitting on the top of my head. My hair was in braids.

Ezio walked into the room smiling at me. There was something about the kingdom that was different, I felt love present. "Hello, my queen." Ezio shot across the room until we were suddenly face to face. "Hello, my king." I smiled towards him, I knew I was in love with this man. I couldn't speak. All I could do is look at this scene that was now taking place. Ezio lightly traced my facial features. I gently put my hands on top of his. "I love you so much, Isabelle." My future self looked at Ezio with love and compassion. "I love you as well Ezio." Without another word, they made love together.

I shot up out of my bed to hear Ezio and Alisha bickering. Ezio was giving her a hard time. I got up and quietly tip toed across the hall. "You mean nothing to me. Your nothing more than a vampire whore, you filthy human." Alisha was crying, begging him to forgive her. Begging him to make love to her. I walked into the kings room and Alisha flew towards me.

"This is all your fault you fucking bitch!" She tried to punch me in the face, luckily I had good reflexes and ducked so she missed me. When she turned around to try and swing again I back handed her across the face as hard as I could and she fell to the ground. "Maybe if you would stop acting like a whore, letting every vampire in this realm bite you, then maybe you would not get treated as badly as you do!" My words were harsh, even though she had just tried hitting me I couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

Alisha stood up. "Do not tell me about what I should and should not be doing. You are a disgrace to the humans in this realm. You parade around here as a lost child, for what? To try and get the kings sympathy? You stupid child. When will you learn? None of the humans here will ever be good enough for the king. Go back to your room, shut your door and do as a servant is supposed to do. Not meddle in grown folks business." Her words sent fire through my veins. I had enough. I walked up towards her and punched her in her nose as hard as I could.

Blood fell from Alisha's nose and she was screaming. "If you ever talk to me like that again, I will kill you." I spit at her feet. The king called in his guards. "Take Alisha to the dungeons. Maybe she will learn her lesson sitting in wet, cold chains." The guards bowed and grabbed Alisha. She was screaming until a guard knocked her out. When Ezio and I were alone I walked over towards a chair. I sat down and Ezio sat beside me.

"I never thought you had it in you." Ezio had a hint of humor in his eyes. "Neither did I." I had to tell him about my dream. I just didn't know how. Ezio looked at me surprisingly. "Go ahead and tell me." Shit. I forgot he could read my mind.
