The Vampire Council's Punishment

Anything

I felt somebody shaking me groggy from sleep I opened my eyes it was Joseph. I wiped my eyes trying to clear my vision. I looked around this was not my room it was plain. The sheets around me were black and velvety. This must be Elijah's room. I smiled at the thought of Tyler giving me alcohol. Then I started to panic holy shit I'm in Elijah's bed. Joseph snapped his fingers in front of me. "Let's go, Elijah's maid needs to get in here." I got up feeling light headed I fell into Joseph's arms he laughed picking me up he carried me down stairs.

"Won't Elijah get angry?" I said not looking directly into his eyes, he smelled good.

"I think he'd be okay with me carrying you if it meant that you won't be falling down stairs." I nodded; his voice was somewhat soothing. The movement of us going down the stairs made me sick though. I leaned over his shoulder puking. He stopped dead in his tracks. I heard laughing from Alaric.

"Yikes, some one had a rough night. So tell me how's my brother in bed?" After he said it I felt my stomach get queasy as I threw up again. Did I really lose my virginity while I was drunk? I couldn't remember.

"Alaric, leave her alone for fuck sakes. Get a maid to clean these stairs up too." Joseph sighed taking me through the kitchen and into the dinning room. He set me down at a table.

"You don't have to be so nice to me." He didn't say anything as he sat down across from me Tyler came him guilt on his face while he set down food in front of me. I didn't know if I could eat it. There were scrambled eggs, bland bread, and orange juice.

"I should've only gave you half, I am a so sorry Adeline, and my sincerest apologizes." Hell that could've not been an apology and I would've accepted it either way. His French accent was so soothing and transpiring. He left the room to just Joseph and me.

"I'm nice to you because it's the right thing to do. You're hung over and Elijah wanted me to make sure you were okay. Now eat before it gets cold." I obeyed him because maybe getting out of here meant following the rules. I wasn't sure I wanted to leave this behind. It was a luxurious house, and I had everything I could've wanted, except for freedom. I missed my adoptive family, most of my old life, except for Damian.

Once finished with my meal I followed Joseph to a large room that was filled with loads of books shelves. Many places to sit and read and a large desk filled with many papers. This must be Elijah's study.

"Feel free to wait in here for Elijah." With that Joseph left me to wander to library. I looked through the works many of the books were old classics. I wasn't much of a reader unless it was romantic or a fantasy. I wasn't sure reading was a good idea since I still felt sick. I lay in the windowsill nook looking out into the garden. 

"The view is breath taking." I turned my head to see Elijah walking into the library. He made his way over to me.

"I guess, it's mostly just calming." He came over sitting by my feet starring at me.

"Calming is the last thing the view does for me." My heart skipped a beat. I realized he was talking about me. I must look gross my hair was messy and greasy. I was still wearing the same clothes from last night. Why should it matter what I look like? I turned my attention back to outside.

"Did we, did we have sex last night?" I felt my cheeks heat up at the thought that I had sex and couldn't remember. I felt his hand on my leg.

"I'm not a monster Adeline. I want you, believe me I want you, but if we ever do anything I want you to be aware. I'm not going to take advantage of you." I nodded my head taking my bottom lip into my mouth as I remembered his lips on mine. He wants me, the lord of all vampires and he wants a human.

"I'd do anything for you Adeline," I thought about this would he really do anything for me? Does he really care about me that much?

"Let me go home then." I said looking him in the eyes he looked away shaking his head.

"Adeline, I can't do that." I stood up angry folding my arms over my chest.

"Well why not? You said anything Elijah. I just want to go home." He stood up turning from he put his hands on his hips.

"You just can't, okay Adeline? Just drop it." I threw my hands up unfucking believable.

"Why not Elijah? You're the fucking Lord of vampires I'm sure you can pull some kind of strings." He turned back towards me his face angry but his eyes held guilt.

"Because Adeline I'm selfish. I want you all to myself and if that means keeping you against your will then so be it." I turned to walk out of the room stopping at the door I turned around.

"Keep me here all you want Elijah, I will never be yours." He came storming at me.

"That's kind of hard to believe when you throw yourself at me after you've had to much. I think you secretly like me Adeline. That's why you're slowly submitting to me."

I felt hurt; I didn't throw myself at him. Just as hurt and angry I yelled out.

"Because I think of Damian." I didn't mean it but I quickly ran out of the room before I could see his hurt or even continue the fight. I'll do everything in my power to make him not want me here.
