I'd Let My Girlfriend Drink My Blood

Decisions

AMBER POV

“You—you I hate you” Catherine dropped to her knees, “Princess forgive me. I wish it didn’t have to be this way” She held the knife at his throat, “Amber” He looked at me, I calmly gave my directions. “Father you will have him sit in that chair right there and send everyone away” I pointed to a satin covered lazy boy type of chair.

Catherine steadily sat Aaron in the chair and made sure everyone had left the room and closed the giant mahogany doors. “What is the meaning of this?!?!” “I told you!” I put my hand on my hip, feeling the velvet of my dress hugging my hips. “This is treason!” “So be it. Kill me then” My father turned pale, ironic for a vampire, but he did. He’d lost his entire luster, there was no more fight in him. “Darling, what do you find so amazing about this human?”

“This buffoon, came running in eyes mad like a devil beast pointing one of these cross guns at me” I had tuned out my father, I wanted to remember everything I’d learned from him and how he taught me that nothing gets built in a day. “He called me a bas-tard, I am not the bas-tard here it is he. He had the nerve to claim that he loved you and I was a horrible father. The damn fool couldn’t even tell that wasn’t the real you!” I looked sharply at my father, I wanted to interject or defend Aaron, and I just couldn’t.

I looked deep into his eyes, those warm brown eyes that took me in and promised to fight for me. I didn’t know how to explain to my father, it simply was the fact that I had fallen in love with him. I put my hand to my chest, if I had a heart I know that it would have been beating faster than a bullet train. “BEACAUSE” “Darling because isn’t an answer” The anger grew in his eyes, another deep growl from his throat, “Daddy because is more than just an answer, because is why he is here. Its because I fell in love with him—its because I cannot find a way to live my life without him” He stood up throwing his hands on the old desk.

My father grabbed my by the wrists and dragged me to the chambers, with Catherine following with a still shocked Aaron. “Put them here” I felt my back slam against the metal bars that surrounded the cage we were thrown into. “Aaron!!” I heard a muffled sound, the dark was made for me, but Aaron was blind. I felt my trembling hands chase up and down the sides of his face. I kissed his forehead and undid the bindings, “Amber— Amber why are you alive? You’re supposed to be dead and—” I pushed my lips to his, tasting his warm fresh breath again.

“You came back for me?” “Well I promised” His hands rested on my waist, I looked into his brown eyes. “Amber, your father is a sick man and I just want you to know that if this is where I die. I’m glad that it’s you” I couldn’t help but smile. “I could never kill you. Not even if I wanted to” His lips pressed against mine, we ended up on the old cot. His hands ran up and down my body, my hands tangled in his messy auburn hair.

From out of the darkness, chains wrapped around his wrists and dragged him to the middle of the arena. The cage shut and was whizzed high above to watch, but not close enough to intervene. “Father!!!” “My people this human is here to fight for my daughter” the crowd laughed and sniggered at him, he silently placed his hand up and continued.  “He thinks he can take on “Rowan “Slayer of Beasts”, and this here my people is the lowest of beasts!!!!”

Aaron had nothing to fight with, and was weighed down by chains that to a vampire were nothing, but to a human could kill him. “Aaron!!” I swung the cage hoping to detach the metals. The fight didn’t last longer than fifteen before I couldn’t watch anymore, “Daddy—please stop this and I will marry him!!” My father waved his hand and I was on the ground.

I ran over to Aaron and began to pet his head, he had been lying on the floor. “Hey I’ve wanted to know, does the sun really do anything to you?” Of course I laughed, “No love, it gives us a slight headache but that is all. You humans and your fictitious movies” He smiled as Catherine dragged him away, he whispered, “Fight for what you believe in”
