Just One Bite

Chapter nine

LIGIA

        Scarlett point was a tall, model liked redhead, with the perfect body. Her big boobs and her round ass in a black plain T-shirt and a grey sweatpants.  Yes, I looked. She was very close with the Queen. I stare at them laughing and joking around as I throw punches at Slater. Slater caught one of my punches and threw my hand back. I almost punched him in the face. 
" Pay attention LiLi." He told me. 
I smirked. "LiLi? Was that a new nickname? '
"Obviously but, you need to focus."
" Yeah. So, what's your story with big booty Scarlett?" I asked, Switching to a punching bag.
" Nothing serious. We dated for awhile but, other than that nothing."
I stopped punching. Nothing serious? Who was he kidding.
" Really, How long did you guys date?"
" 4."
" Four months? Years? Centuries?"
He cleared his throat, " Years."
" You dated her for four years and you deemed her as nothing serious?"
I know. 
Calm down, Ligia! 
    I breath in and out and calm myself down then went back to punching the bag. I expected a guy like Aleron to have exes but, for him to act like she was nothing, that they had nothing, bothers me for some unknown reason. 
" She's in the past. It's you and me now. She means nothing to me. Ok?"
He took my left arm. 
" Fine." I said and took my arm back. 
" Ok Children, it's time for a fight." Queen Berenice announced, " Aleron you're with me and Ligia you're with Scarlett."
Slater gave me one last look than walked over the queen. 
Scarlett marched over to me, she had a smirk on her face. 
" We haven't been properly introduced but, my name is Scarlett Mikaella Florentine Point but, my friends call me  Scar or bitch. Either one is acceptable."
" Scar it is. And I'm Ligia."
" Got it. It is seem that I am assigned to fight you."
" So, it seems."
" I promise to go easy on you."
" Thank you."
            Scarlett didn't go easy on me. After bruising my body with punches, she slammed me on the brick wall, which left behind a huge dent. Finally, she broke my left arm. The queen had to come get her or else she would've really finished me off. 
The queen was holding on to a really angry Scarlett. I was on the floor, holding back tears. What was wrong with her? 
Slater was by my side and he was mad, like really mad. He was giving Scarlett the eye.
" The hell is wrong with you?" He demanded.
" Allyyon will do worse. Stop babying this bitch and teach her how to fight like a vampire. I can't believe you guys really expect her to fight Allyyon? She's weak."
I sniffed and let the tears fall. 
" I want to go home." I finally said. 
" Lig-"
" I WANT TO GO HOME."
Scarlett chuckled, " See what I mean. She's crying, like the little baby that she is. Aleron, I didn't know that you're into babies?"
" That's enough, Scarlett." The queen spit and pulled onto Scarlett's arm and then they disappeared. 
It was only us. 
" I'm so sorry about that." Slater said, helping me up.
I couldn't find my voice. 
Carrying me bridal style, Slater took me to my room. 
He carefully put me on my bed. 
Using my good arm, I pulled the blanket over my legs. My left arm hurts like a bitch but, thankfully my vampire side came through, making the pain more subtle. However, I still couldn't move left arm. My face felt sticky, obviously from tears.
I expected Slater to leave but, he sat down on the floor in front of my bed. We sat there in silence for what felt like hours until I finally broke the silence. 
" She's right." I said, quietly.
" Lig-"
" She is right. I am weak. I can't fight. I am a loser. Even in the human world. I didn't have any friends. I joined so many clubs hoping to make friends and made none. I am nothing. Here or in the human world."
Slater stood on his knees and claimed my good hand. 
" You are everything." He whispered, " Girls like Scarlett feed on girls with insecurities. You are one of the only two vampires in existence with the ability to read minds. You have the power of very first Vampire in existent. You are special. No one said this would be easy. This is new to you but, I believe in you one hundred percent. I know that you're going to beat Allyyon's ass and saves us all. "
A chuckle escaped my lip. A wide smile came across his face.
" Now, wipe the tears and snots. I am taking you to our favorite hang out spot."
" Really?'
" It's a few miles away from the Castle."
" Wait...so that means... I get to leave-"
" Yep."
" Thank you thank you."
I attacked his lip. 
       " Do I have to drink this?" I asked Slater, holding up the cup filled up with blood. 
" Yes. You're a vampire. Vampires drink blood."
" Only half." I whispered. 
" Still one."
" It's gross."
"Come one Gale, you suck faces with Slater. I'm sure nothing comes close to being grosser than that."
April guffawed, she was on her third cup of blood.
When Slater told me that he was going to take me to his favorite hangout spot, a blood bar did not come to mind. 
"Ok. Let's make a deal."
" Ok. I like deals."
" Take at least two sips of it and I'll break the queen's rules and take you to see your dad."
I liked that deal a lot.
I put the cup to my mouth. 
Shouldn't be too bad right?
Two sips became the whole cup.
I literally swallowed the whole cup. I was surprised. It tasted....Amazing, and I was ashamed of myself for admitting it.
" See."
" This tastes so much better than chocolate. Nothing comes close to tasting better than chocolate but, Blood? Who knew?"
It was like a sugar rush. I wanted more. 
" Can I have another cup?. Maybe three more cups...no six. Ten. Give me ten cups of blood."
I licked my lips. 
I grabbed April's cup and gulped down the rest of her blood.
" You get one more cup and you're done." Slater said, picking up the cups. 
" Fine. Hurry up."
Laughing, Slater went back to order. He came back seconds later with my cup and I couldn't be more happier. I pulled the cup out of his hand and gulped it all down.
"Another one." I said breathing heavily. 
" Nope, you're done. The queen will kill me."
" Come on Slater. Please." I said and gave him the puppy dog face.
He almost gave in and then Rosio slapped him out of it. 
Bitch!
" Still no."
" Fine but, you're still taking me home."
" Ok."
"Good."
