I, The Vampire Slayer, Am Mate To The Vampire Prince

Chapter Five : The Sorrow

Keith's P.O.V.

"Sweety, how do these sweets taste?"
I taste and answer her,"Delicious mom." She smiles at me as I gently take her to the throne room to sit next to Dad. Dad just begins to laugh and Mom smiles at me and says,"Who ever you mate is going to be she is going to be a very lucky girl. I smile up at her. Suddenly we are disturbed by shouting.
"The rogues are attacking," shouts our servants. "They are attacking the castle."
My father quickly gets up and begins giving orders, to the servants, "Man the battle stations. Surround the castle, make sure no rogue enters. Make sure the tips of the spears, arrows and swords are made of pure silver but make sure the holding points are made of wood and be sure to remind the soldiers to be careful with their weapons." He turned to my mom and I and said," Go to the basement and stay there . I will send guards there." I was a newborn vampire by then. We ran downstairs but my mom was not a person to flee from battles and she knew father would not allow her so she took me to the basement, got weapons and began killing any rogues that where on the way. Mom was indeed a fair fighter. She locked me in the basement and went to fight. Because I was a newborn I still did nor know my full strength and I kept on struggling till Dad opened the door. He opened the door with joy, "Honey, we have defeated all the rogues."
He opened the door and found me alone. "Where's your mother?" I could not answer because I could tell that he already knew the answer. With vampire speed he ran outside in search of her. I ran upstairs, outside as fast as I could and saw a sight that has tortured me ever since.
"MOM!!"

I wake up drenched in sweat in my blankets, my breathing uneven and in shock. I keep on seeing her dead body in my fathers arms. I see the loving look on her face every time she looks at me. I see the playful look on her face when we play games when Dad doesn't have any King duties. I especially remember her face when she laughed. Her laugh would turn every dark soul light. Now I have two troubles.
One, memories of my Mom have been aroused. Memories I have kept away in a box in the darkest corner of my mind have now been set loose once again. The same memories that drove me mad for months.
And two, I murdered Elena's father.

"Hey Keith, my man this ain't time to sleep late. We gotta talk man." My friends walk in shouting and the second they see me they immediately stop.
"What's wrong, Keith?"
They keep in asking me but I cannot even answer them. I am only thinking of the pain Elena is going to feel when she finds out the truth. My boys stay with me trying to calm me down, soothing me till I feel better. When they notice that I can now speak they ask me and I tell them. They listen to me without interrupting and when I'm done they don't judge me but become quite first. We are just sitting on my bed in silence when Joseph breaks the silence. He first let's out a long whistle then says, "Damn, you are in deep shit." Micah, being the most reasonable one of us all, quickly covers what Joseph said judging by the look on my face, " What he is trying to say I'd that we will help you through this but you've gotta tell this to Elena yourself and soon because if she hears this from someone else from someone else it is going yo hurt her twice as bad." I nod in agreement but silently wonder how I am going to do that. I look at them and say, " But I am scared, I mean like what if I lose her. I won't be able to live with myself." When I finish saying this I find the boys just stating at me their mouths ajar to what I said. I ask,"What?"
They jump of the bed and they both say at the sane time,"Scared. "
Micah continues," Since when is Keith-freaking-Henderson scared?"
Joseph then adds on," Dude you have the biggest balls, metaphoricly speaking as we already know physically I have the biggest balls than you girls, than all of us. When Joseph finished talking we just stared at each other and burst out laughing. Ah my friends, what would I do without them?

"Enough of this depression, it is beginning to get depressing," Micah then says and with me still in my blankets we begin talking.

I start," Please do tell me more about your mates."
Joseph starts first and says," My Edith is simply an angel. Beautiful, hot, sexy, curves in all the right places just how I like them. With her innocent and pure eyes, they seen to complete the look."

I groan," Oh please my Elena can too your Shaney anyday."

"Oh really?"

"Really."

"Well, whatever helps you sleep at night."

"My Elena's the one who helps me sleep at night."

"Oh shut up Keith, my head's beginning to ache."

"Not possible."

"I noticed."

Micah then breaks our little fight," When you ladies are done with your cat fight you'll both find me downstairs. I gonna go hunt for something to eat."
On cue my stomach growls reminding me of just how hungry I am.
I quickly get something yo wear and follow the boys to the kitchen. We race e there and I easily beat them because out of the three I am the fastest. We get downstairs and find a servant making blood pancakes. We sit in the next room which is a gigantic lounge waiting for our food. Our food arrives just as we are playing on the Xbox.
We are served by a petite blond haired servant girl. As she puts my food down, she looks at me flirtatiously. Other servant girls cone in with the boys' food and look at them in a flirtatious manner. " Here's your breakfast, hope you enjoy it and please do call me if you are in need of any thing else and I mean anything." Says the girl who is staring at me. I quickly send her away by telling her hat we were in no need of anything. The boys and I were used to females acting like this. Whether we were in town, or at the mall we always earn ourselves those kinds of glares.
We finish our breakfast and went for a walk to the city ( as I live some kilometers away from the city) while talking about different things. While the boys would talk I would somehow zone out, thinking about my mom but not of the killing of Elena's father but if my mom in general. We walk around the city when we get there when an idea hits me. "Guys, why don't we go surprise our girls and take them to lunch?"
The boys happily agreed and we decided that it would be a mixed date. We sped to Shaney's place guessing the girls were there and when we knocked on the door, sure enough they were there.
