Blood Countess

Chapter 13

I felt Elizabeth's arms around me when I woke up.

"You're finally awake." She kissed my cheek and smiled.

"Yeah. What time is it?"

"Three in the afternoon. If you got any questions, you can ask now." She kissed my shoulders and caressed my hair.

"Okay" I paused for a moment."You said I was a dhampir. I mean my parents are both humans. That's pretty much impossible. But how?"

"You're parents are hiding something from you, Kate. You are a descendant from one of the strongest vampires that ever existed."

"Tell me more."

"I still don't know which vampire. I'm having it investigated. I'll tell you everything I know when I got news." She hugged me tighter. "Are you hungry?" Speaking of which.

"I actually am." She giggled and it's like music to my ears. She stood up and pulled me with her. She put my robe on me and we went to the dining hall.

____________________
A week has passed and still nothing. I still don't know who I am. I haven't seen Elizabeth for a week. I asked Lara about her whereabouts but she just remained quiet. To pass time, I decided to roam around the mansion.

I went to the library and it is huge. I could live here forever. I was in awe with everything.

I was reading when I felt a presence behind me. I turned around and saw a beautiful girl with blonde hair smirking at me. I suddenly felt intimidated and nervous. Whoever this girl is holds power just by the way she walks towards me. I was captivated by her eyes. They're as blue as the ocean after a storm.

"Elizabeth has good taste indeed." She touched my jaw and I could feel my body shiver just by her touch. "Don't worry. You don't have to be scared. You'll be mine as soon as Elizabeth is done with you anyway." She held my jaw and touched my cheek. "Such beautiful girl like you can never go to waste."

The door suddenly burst open revealing a furious Elizabeth.

"Nice for you to join us, my dear cousin. It's such a shame I had to overhear the maids talking about your little pet here." I don't like the term she just referred to me as. As if Elizabeth knew what I felt.

"Let her go, Deyana." Elizabeth growled at the girl whom I assumed was Deyana.

"Loosen up, Elizabeth. I just couldn't help myself especially with your new girl right here." She just laughed and I walked over to Elizabeth.

"Kate, go to my room. Don't go out unless I tell you so." She was gone for a week with no apparent explanation why she was gone and now here she is bossing me around.

"You have a lot of explaining to do, Elizabeth." I touched her arm and she calmed. I did what she said and went to her room.

So many questions were running allover my head. Am I not the first girl Elizabeth treated like this? Why would Deyana refer to me as Elizabeth's pet? And why was Elizabeth gone for a fucking week with no explanations?

I huffed and sat by the window. I need to know what's going on.
