Last To Know (The Wanted)

Chapter Two

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I heard the whine of Chance as I began waking up. I groaned and pulled the covers up over my head. Chance whined again and my eyes opened. I lifted the blanket off of me and screamed.

There were five men in my room, sitting on the floor playing cards.

"What are you doing in here?" I demanded.

"We got bored so we started playing cards." One of them said. I believed he was Jay.

"Why in here?" I asked, rolling eyes.

"Because Kassimuss told us to watch over you." The tall one said. Siva. I remembered his name.

"Whose Kassimuss?" I asked in confusion.

"Your supreme leader, the Alpha, or King, of the Vampirian Empire. Also known as Tom's father, my uncle." Max explained.

"And why did he tell you to watch over me while I'm sleeping." I growled.

"To make sure you were okay. You're taking everything in better than we expected." Nathan said.

"Okay..." I replied, unsure of everything that was happening.

"Oh, Kassimuss also wants to meet you." Jay said.

"Uh... can I get cleaned up somewhere?" I asked, seeing in the mirror on the dresser across the room how my hair was messy and greasy and I looked awful.

"Of course. Jacie stashed up the bathroom with toiletries and filled up your closet so... we'll be back in... half an hour." Nathan told me.

"Whose Jacie?" I asked.

"My soulmate. She isn't here now, but you can meet her later. I think you and Jacie will become good friends." Nathan replied. I nodded once. And they cleaned up their little poker game and quickly left. I felt it was odd that Tom hasn't said one single word to me since I had awoken.

Wasn't he supposed be my 'soulmate' or something? I was chosen by him or some other crazy shit like that.

Once they left, I felt relieved. I got up and saw there were two white wooden doors on one side of the room. Taking my chances, I opened one. It was a bathroom.

It was all white just like the room. There was a brand new toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoos, soap, face washes, towels, handsoaps. On the counter was a large makeup bag. Opening it, I found brand-new makeup items and they seemed expensive. Leaving the bathroom, I went over to the other door.

My jaw dropped in awe as I opened the second door to reveal a huge walk-in closet. It was bigger than the bathroom.

On one side were two racks full of shirts. On the other side were shelves full of shoes.

Then there was a long rack with skirts and dresses and underneath were clear drawers with shorts and pants.

It was like a girl's dream come true.

Half of one wall was a huge full-length mirror.

I stripped off my battered stinky clothes and opened a drawer to reveal delicates. I happily grabbed clean underclothes.

I grabbed them and then went over to the bathroom. The shower soaps were like what you would find in a luxury hotel. My hair smelled like vanilla and it was softer than silk. I quickly dried myself off and wrapped my towel around my body as I blow dried my hair and applied some simple makeup just so I didn't look like a hot mess.

Then, I put on my panties and bra and went back into the closet.

I went over to the shirts to find something decent to wear. I was meeting the Alpha of the Vampirian.

I sounded like a crazy person.

Most of the things in the closet were super girly, expensive, and looked like things models or actresses would wear.

Sighing, I finally found a few t-shirts and jerseys and simple blouses at the end of the rack.

I threw on some jeans. It was weird how this Jacie girl knew my exact size.

I put on a plain light gray t-shirt and then found converse sneakers behind the shelf of heels.

Then, I checked the clock to see it was almost time.

A glimmer in the light caught my eye and I saw a clear glass box up on one of the top shelves. It was high up, but on my tippy-toes I could just reach it.

I shrieked as the box came falling down at me. I felt a burning on my face as the glass box broke and scraped across my cheek.

"Maisie? Maisie! Are you okay?" I heard someone yell. I peeked open my eyes. The glass box had been a jewelry box, which was why it was shining. Pearls and diamond necklaces, bracelets, and earrings were scattered around me.

I looked up as Siva and Jay helped me up.

"You've got a nasty scratch on your face. Here, I'll clean this glass up while Seev cleans your face." Jay told me. I nodded and Siva took me to the bathroom and wet a cloth and began cleaning the blood on my face.

"Siva, if you're a vampire doesn't my blood bother you?" I asked out of pure curiosity.

"Most vampires, yes. But as we said, we're royals. We have the best training in the empire and including the training, royals are the oldest vampires around. Kassimuss is almost four hundred years old." He explained.

"How about the five of you? How old are all of you guys?"

"Well, Tom is the oldest. I think he is two-hundred-thirty. Around that. Then me, I'm two-hundred and eleven. Next in age is Max. He's two-hundred and three. Then Jay is one-hundred and eighty even I believe. And then baby Nath is just one-hundred and fifty-six. However, our newest addition is actually Jacie who is only about twenty-five years into vampiracy."

"Vampiracy?" I laughed.

"That's what you call it when you get turned. Natural-born vampires are born into vampiracy." He explained.

"Oh. So... if Kassimuss is Tom's dad... then-"

"Kassimuss adopted Tom. He was dying from a bear attack in the middle of the woods when he was found. He also adopted Jay. Kassimuss has two Betas. Assysilies and Mufasa. Assysilies is my natural father. So I was born a vampire. Assysilies is Kassimuss's first in command. He works on publicity and organizes our villages. Mufasa is Nathan and Max's stepfather. Their dad died and their mum and Mufasa mated. But she got very sick and so Mufasa took custody of both of them."

I was really surprised at how much Siva was sharing with me. It comforted me that he would share so much information about all of them with me.

"Wow." I breathed.

"Alright, we better not keep Kassimuss waiting much longer." Siva said, dabbing at the cut one last time to make sure it wouldn't bleed. It wasn't too deep, just enough to sting a bit.

"Thanks for cleaning up, you guys." I said to both Jay and Siva. They both nodded. I was beginning to warm up to them.
