AUDREY
I was really pissed and disappointed. The s*x earlier
reminded me of the times I was molested but I had to let
it go, He is a kid and a has lot to learn. I couldn't
compare his prowess to that of Richard, that would be
cruel, although William was miles ahead of him when he
was of the same age with him.
I got back home and I heard sound of laughter and that
of hurried steps. What the hell is going on here, did kids
find their way into the house?
I heard the balcony door open and then some Spanish
song started playing. I quickly climb up the stairs and
entered my room. I looked through the window and
instead of kids I saw Richard turning Angel around,
probably dancing salsa.
The scene brought tears to my eyes. This made me
remember when I was fourteen back in my time. I was
buying some apples at the market when I noticed a young
man who was on one of the royal horses looking at me
and he shouldn't be more than seventeen. His whole
attention was on me, then finally, he stopped the escorts
and came down from his horse. He started walking
towards my direction and everyone stopped what they
were doing to find out who has caught the very handsome
prince William's attention.
I took off when he was some metres from me, I was very
shy then and couldn't stand attention. After running
through the streets for a while , I looked back to see if I
was being followed but there was no one. I was relieved,
only for me to turn back to find Prince William inches
from me. He took my left arm and kissed it before
handing me a red handkerchief, and then he turned away
without uttering a word.
That was the beginning of our relationship and then
marriage. Richard is a good man but like everyone, he
has his own demons and unfortunately, his demons are
just one too many.
Angel will surely have the best of moments with him now
but when the time comes for him to confront his demons,
I hope she will be able to stand by him and fight with him
something I failed to do in my time.

RICHARD
I ran after her but I was unable to get a hold on her, she
was too cheeky. I was becoming exhausted, the s*x with
Lucy and all of the activities earlier in the day finally took
a toll on me and I collapsed just close to the little Lake.
Angel noticed that I wasn't following her anymore, she
turned back and found me at the lake. She was really
surprised to know that there was a lake here all this while.
"You knew about this lake and you said nothing? " she
asked, apparently not thrilled by the fact that I hid
something from her.
" I actually found it the day I was hiding from you after
sleeping with Audrey. I am sorry I didn't tell you, I figured
you knew after all, you were here for years "I replied her.
" This place was for raising baby vampires, you know
those who have just been turned and more importantly for
torturing prisoners. George never liked the house for
reasons best known to him. I never really moved beyond
the open field. "She said, staring into the gentle waters.
"You know you have spoken a lot about this house but
you haven't said anything about who owned it! " I said.
She didn't want to answer at first but after a while, she
answered
" The house was owned by a wealthy farmer but because
George hated farmers and farming all together since he
could no longer eat the products from the farm anymore.
He tasked me to kill the entire occupants of the farm and
house, animals inclusive. I didn't want to.. But I did..... I killed over thirty innocent people, including Children...i..." She couldn't continue as she fell on my chest, crying her
eyes out.
I cuddled her and pacified her as best as I could, after
some minutes, she fell asleep just as I did too.
A call woke us up the next morning. It was already day
and the call was from Angel's phone. She reluctantly
picked, but then the look on her face changed after the
call.
"Richard, George is in town, he arrived this morning.
Whenever he arrives, he always want a family gathering.
He wants me at the table now. Richard, what am I gonna
do, I have a beating heart now, and if there is anything
George detests, it's a werewolf."
