A Night To Remember

Chapter 18

After my parents told me about their deal on Jake's father I immediately teleported myself towards Zire's house. He's the only person I knew who can help me. Actually, I really don't know if he's going to help me on my problem but a big part of me is hoping the he will because I don't know where to go if he'll say no.

"Zire are you here! Please I need your help!" I called.

I gasped as I saw him already standing in front of me with concern in his eyes. He really moves so fast.

"I need your help, please!"

"Why, what happened?" He asked.

"My friend is gone.  I-I haven't seen him for a while now, I'm worried about him. I should find him before its too late." I pleaded. I watched as his jaw hardened. No,no, this is not the time for jealousy Zire.
His hard stare makes me want to crawl back home and never come back. I should be strong and not to show that I am scared of him.  I can do and will do everything for Jake. I was deep on my thought that I didn't noticed that he's already in front of me, too close for my liking. His eyes are red. He holds my arms tightly. I tried to pull my arms out  from his hold but he seems not affected by it.

"Zire!Zire" I called his name trying not to show any fear on it.

"Who is this friend of yours?" His fangs are showing as he spoke. "Is he that special to you that you would risk your life in coming here and ask for my help just to find him?" He said angrily.

"Yes!" I answered without thinking. His hold on my arm got more tight, I'm sure it's going to bruise.

"Zire, please he's only my friend, nothing is especial to us. Please, I need to find him before it's too late." I said, trying to make my voice stronger. My gaze snap to the man running down the stairs calling Zire's name. He too is surprised about Zire's action.

"Zire, what are you doing?" The man's panicked voice boomed in the house.

Zire released  me in an instant. I watched him taking steps backward and stopped as soon as his legs hits the chair. I want to go to him and tell him that I'm okay but the man stopped me.

"Zire!" I breathe.

His eyes went to my bruised arms. I quickly crossed my arms and trying to cover it with my hand. This is my first time to see him like this, so broken.

"You're hurt... " His voice is coated with guilt.

"This will heal" I assured him even if I know that healing will take time.

"You go to your room first Flame" The man asked. I move my feet hesitantly, I take a glance to Zire's slouching form then run to my room. I shut the door behind me. I jerked as I hear the sound of a broken glass and followed by Zire's angry voice, they're fighting. Damn! this is not I expected to happen, I wasn't thinking. I forgot about him telling me to stay away from Jake.

" I want you to stop seeing that person Flame, the owner of that scent."

Shit! That's why he got so mad at me. Why I am so forgetful. I lay on the bed, frustrated on my own self.

I don't know how much time I stayed here on the room, I didn't go out. It's already quite, I don't hear any voices downstairs. I sigh.

"Thanks god!"

I sat up straight as the door in my room opened. The man came in, I checked his face or body if he have any bruised, I mentally thanks god that I found nothing.

"Thank you and I'm sorry!" I said.

The handsome man walk inside and stopped in front of me. I flinched as he touch my bruised arm. He released my arm sighing.

"How are you?" He asked.

"Well, I'm fine actually. My arm is not hurting at all." I lied.

"You're not a good lier Flame!"

I looked at him, how did he know my name.

" Who are you? Why did you know my name?" I asked.

"Oh I'm sorry for not introducing myself. I am Shane, Zire's bestfriend.Well..." He paused.

"I am here to ask an apology about what happened. I'm sure it is not his intention to hurt you. H-he was just jealous. I know the reason is to shallow but-"

"No, it is my fault, it's not his. I wasn't really thinking about his feelings. I'm sorry!" I said cutting Shane off.

"Where  is he? I asked.

"I told him to go home first. He needs to relaxed his mind before showing himself to you. I don't want to have a repeat of what happened."

"But i thought this is his house?"

"This is our vacation house Flame. The house that he is at now is the house where all the vampires that obeys him lives, including me."

"Is he your leader or something?"

"He's our master Flame and you are our master's mate"

I stare at him shocked. I didn't know that Zire holds that kind of position. I thought that he's just an ordinary vampire.

"I didn't know at all" I said to myself.

"It's okay" Shane replied.

"Did you hear it?"  I asked.

Shane nods his head and gives me a smile.

"So do you need something, are you hungry or thirsty?" He asked.

"No, Im fine"

"Ok then, I will just live you for a while. I will go to the kitchen and look for something to drink"

I smile at him and nod my head in reply.
