Vampire Cinderella

Chapter 12

John’s pov.

Looking at her from the roof of the building, made me smile. It’s only been one day and it feels like an eternity. I saw the small smile on her beautiful lips as she looked at the locket. I wanted desperately to put it around her delicate neck, that’s what I was going to do once she met my family. I wanted to give her the necklace and announce my love to her. Since I couldn’t do so because of my mother I will settle for this. Why hasn’t she put it on? I saw her frown and stuff in her dress, and walk towards that worthless vampire. I didn’t kill him just paralyze him. Furious that she went to him I turned around, wanting to leave the scene but not her. When I turned around I came face to face with………

Ell’s pov.

What did John mean by all that he said? As I looked at the necklace again, my smile vanished. I can’t let mistress or the sisters see this. So I stuffed it in my dress, well I don’t have pockets. When I went over to Elliot I realized John didn’t kill him he’s paralyzed. When vampires bite humans our poison turns them into vampires as well, but when vampires bite vampires unless it the playful way we paralyze each other. That’s how I sometimes got out of bed with Elliot when he dragged me to his room. Course when I couldn’t reach his neck is when he hurt me, and when I became weaker so did my poison. That’s why he thinks I used to love what he did, he thought they were playful bites. I thought about leaving and just taking the breakfast back, but that would look like I hurt him. I kicked him in the ribs…..nothing. John must have some strong poison, well he is the prince. I knew I was going to regret this but, we needed to leave before the sun came out. So I bit him in the same spot as John did, and sucked the poison out. When he woke up he grabbed my waist and flipped me over. I was on my back now and he had a cheeky grin on him. He chuckled, “I knew you still loved me Ell. It’s kind of pathetic you know.” I glared at him, “No master I don’t. You were paralyzed, so I sucked the poison out so we could leave before the sun comes out.” His cheeky smile left and he had a death stare on. I shuddered in fear. He smiled evilly at me. “My dear Ell, you should learn to speak to me better. I have some things in mind for that pretty little mouth of yours, but later sweetheart. Now we need to get back or I might get permission to whip a certain someone.” I started shaking in fear. He bent down till he was next to my ear and whispered, “Are you scared sweetheart?” I nodded. He chuckled, “Ahhhh you poor thing, but good you should be!” He playfully bit my ear and got up.

John’s pov.

What the Hell is my brother doing here? “Hello brother are you not happy to see me? It’s been too long since the last time I saw you.”  “Yes of course I am brother, but why are you following me? Shouldn’t you be with mother and father?” He laughed, “Brother you and I both know you can only be with mother for so long. Besides I saw you with that weak vampire and thought I’d check it out myself.” John growled he didn’t like the comment he made about Ell, and he was annoyed about being spied on. “Brother do I even bother to ask why you were spying on me? Or should I not waste anymore words?” Jason shrugged and sat on the edge. “I just wanted to know why you were wasting your time with a servant, who is obviously trying to kill herself. You always said you’d stay away from those kind of vampires, so my curiosity got the best of me as you always said.” John hesitated to answer his brothers question then finally said, “One she’s not trying to kill herself. More like her masters are trying to kill her. Two I may have said those things but she is not one of them. And three is none of your business.” Jason had a cheeky grin on his face. “Oh brother dear and I correct when I say this that your in love with this servant.” John smiled at the thought, “it is true! Wow brother I didn’t think you would be the one to fall in love with a servant.” Now even more annoyed with his brother, “well if you would have come with mother and father when you were supposed to you would have realized she was the girl I was talking about.” Jason now amused about his brother behavior said, “Well sorry but, I was a little busy getting to know the girl mother arranged me to marry.” That is true I was able to convince mother that I will find a suitable bride, but that didn’t stop her from trying obviously.

 “So John now what are you going to do? Looks as if your beloved is taken already.” John turned around and saw Ell taking the poison out of that bastard, then suddenly being put on her back with him on top of her. John growled and was ready to rip his head off when his brother stopped him. “John why don’t you just go with one of the girls mother wishes for you to marry.” John turned to his brother with a look of disgust. “No way in hell am I going to one of those spoiled bitches. I’d rather be burned by the sun then even be married to one of them. Besides Ell………is the one and only I want to be with. She’s different, unique, and there’s something special about her that just makes me want to figure out.” His brother pretended to gag, “John I think you’ve turned into a bit of a pansy right now.” John punched Jason square in the nose. After he put his nose back in place John said, “oh really? Would a pansy do that? Or would they squeal like you did just now?” the two brothers laughed, “ok John far enough. Just don’t mention that to anyone got a reputation to keep around here.”

Ell’s pov.

When we got back dawn had just broke and everyone was asleep now. I was tired myself but I had to get the breakfast ready. I drained the blood from the body and put it into some glasses. Next I took out all the organs and placed them in some jars. The sisters like midday snacks and eat the organs. I take the bones out, they make nice jewelry when done properly. All that’s left is the skin which I just dispose of, I get a foul scent after two days. Ell was still thinking about what John had said that she didn’t notice Merna had come in. “Is there something you need mistress?” Merna looked over at Ell just realizing she was there. “Oh you’re here. Well since you asked I’ll have some wine.” Ell nodded and went to go get it. What humans don’t know is that vampires make wine and add human blood to it. That’s why is so red and addictive. Most vampires don’t drink it but it’s good for when you need to get your mind off something.

After Merna left, Ell made her way back to her room, though she felt as if she was being watched. Every time she looked over her shoulder nobody was there. She smelled the air, nothing but a faint different smell. Most vampires would have tracked it down but Ell was too tired to do so. She still felt eyes on her when she climbed into bed and fell asleep.
