The literal heart in my hand (KMD Book 7)

Chapter 2

I piled my bag with clothes that Haley saved for me. Elijah kept giving me the side eye.

"Mind you, this might sound very modern of me to say, but this is so freaking stupid!" Elijah said.

"No, it really isn't. The devil would love to take a powerful being in.." I said, and flattened the front of my dress.

"How will you even get hell fire?" Elijah asked, "I do believe it is in literal hell, correct?"

"Yep! It's in literal hell, but also, other then in popular belief, the devil doesn't have horns." I said, "people mistake him from being ugly, red, is hot, and has a tail. But he's much more then that! He's beautiful, and cold." I bit into my apple.

"Are you in love with the devil, Child?" Elijah asked me, I threw my apple at Elijah. Missing him completely.

"We don't want to hear about your weird fantasies Leny." Freya said as she walked into the room with herbs in hand.

"It's not a fantasy!" I said, I grabbed my bag and cooler full of water bottles filled with bags of blood, "I'll be going." I left the house and got into the random truck that was in the garage.

I was driving just out of New Orleans when Marcel went in front of the car.

He was blocking me from exiting, "Hey, if it isn't my favorite person in the world?" I asked, I rolled down the windows and he rested his arm on the door, "wanna drink pal?" I opened the cooler.

"It would be rude to decline." He said, with a charming smile. I handed him a blood bad, "oh, fancy!" I grabbed one for myself, "cheers."

We both took a drink, "Where have you been?" He asked, I gripped onto the steering wheel.

"Oh just traveling alone, my family didn't really want me I guess." I said, "and you know, my dad was ripped away from me by this one guy. I wouldn't blame the guy, but the cute ones are always the freaks. And my dad basically taught him to keep his enemies the closest and everything else he knows."

"Well, I'm pretty sure he had taught himself much more then your dad could ever do." He said, "where are you heading?" I raised my eyebrows.

"Who are you? My father- oh wait, nope, can't be my father. Because locked up somewhere." I said, "oh well."

"Why are you here?" He asked, "shouldn't you be out looking for a way to kill me?" I laughed.

"If I find a way to kill you, then wouldn't we both be doomed? Cause at the moment we're the most powerful vampires the world would ever see. Why could I wanna screw that up? I wanna make it last!" I said, I put my hand on his thigh, "And your super cute, so I don't wanna kill you just yet."
