vampire next door

chapter twenty-three

   Dante's POV
I screamed in agony as I swiped my hand on the table throwing away all the books.

"Dante, its alright, you will hurt yourself" bianca said trying to hold me.

Bianca is my younger sister and my assistant. She has been so worried after my visit to callidora. She has short red hair and small blue eyes. She was a petit slim girl.

"It can't be" I kept on saying.

"She's mine, I kept her for myself. No one can have her except me" I groaned.

"I preserved her for myself all this years. She's mine and no one else's" I said possessively.

"Her heart belongs to another. Besides, you murdered her parents. She can't love you even if you are going crazy for her" bianca said putting the things back on the table.

I zoomed towards her and pressed her against the wall choking her neck.

"Stop...this...now...Dante...please" she pleaded.

"Dante stop" Bruno shouted pulling me from bianca and pulling her behind him. Bruno was Bianca's husband.

"Do you want to hurt her?" He shouted.

"Take your wife out of here" I spat huffing and panting.

"Is this because of that girl...." He started.

"She has a name" I spat again.

"Callidora...is this because of her. She is a human. We are vampires. We killed her parents. She can never love you" he said stressing each word.

That was it. I pushed him against the wall. I was far more stronger than all of them so they feared me. I placed my hand on his chest as his eyes widened at me.

"Die" I said before stabbing his chest with my hand and pulled out  his heart. He fell to the floor with his heart in my hand.

"Bruno" bianca exclaimed running towards him and crouching beside him.

"You killed him, Dante" she shouted tears trickling down her face.

"Oh please stop that" I hissed sitting down on one of the chairs.

I was furious right now and anybody who dared to cross my path will die and Bruno is just an example. I blocked Bianca's tears and screams from my ear as I tried to focus on how to get Callidora back.

Two of my guards came in surprise written all over their faces as they watched Bruno on the floor and bianca weeping beside him.

"Are you just going to stand there watching her cry or tell me what you have for me" I said while wiping my hands with a handkerchief.

"Um...the girl...she..." One started.

"She has a name" I groaned from my seat and nodded for him to continue.

"Callidora is currently in his house now" he finished edging away from me.

"For how long?" I questioned standing up.

"Let's say five hours" he said again shaking.

"Darn" I cursed kicking my leg in the air and throwing all the things from the table again.

"Now, I want you to go to them, send them a message, a threatening message. Tell them I'm coming for them" I said slowly making sure he understood what I was saying.

They both scuffled away but I stopped them at the door.

"But first, take this body out of here" I commanded before walking to the window and looking outside.

Clemente's POV
"I'm...I'm..." I started.

She turned to look at me and urging me to go on.

"I'm hungry" I finished. I wasn't going to tell her now. I couldn't. Telling her would mean ending things with her and I wasn't ready for that.

"Hungry?" She asked and I nodded.

"I thought you were about to say I'm sick like in the movies" she said chuckling.

"How about I make you some food to eat" she asked standing up and making her way to the kitchen. I smiled at how comfortable she was around here.

"You are low on food" she said from the kitchen and I walked to meet her.

"Its okay for me" I said leaning on the door.

She only nodded in response and continued slicing strawberries into fours and twos.

She did that with so much ease and confidence. I imagined her as my little wife and us living together. It would be so wonderful.

I walked to her and gave her a back hug. I nuzzled into her neck taking in her scent of strawberry and cologne. I breathed relieved.

She stopped slicing but continued immediately as if it had no effect on her.

"This would be us some day" I said.

I could feel her smile from ear to ear." It would be truly wonderful" she replied putting all the fruits in one bowl.

"I love you" I said giving her a light Peck on the cheek.

"I love you..." She started but was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Are you expecting anyone?" She asks making her way to the door.

"No" I reply holding her hand to refrain her from going.

I open the door ajar but no one was in sight.

"Maybe some kids are just playing around" I hiss and attempt to close the door.

"Wait, there's a note" Callidora says picking up a neatly folded piece of paper and opening it.

"No.."she muttered.

Grabbing the paper from her hand, I read it.

         I see you are having fun
         But remember, it won't last
         Long. There will be blood.

" who could it be?" I asked aloud.

"It couldn't be him...no... No...it can't be" Callidora cried falling to the floor.

"Cally tell me what's going on?" I ask calmly rubbing her back.

"The man...the murderer....he's in town...he....I met him few weeks ago....he'll kill me" she said sobbing.

"Dammit. Why didn't you tell me sooner" I shout at her but she just hugs herself and keep on crying.

I kneel beside her slightly patting her back.

"I'll call Adrian and the rest" I announce standing up and making my way to pick my phone.

*******
"So you are saying you got this note immediately after a knock on the floor" Adrian repeated  trying to understand what I explained.

"Exactly what I said" I said.

"Who could have done this?" Eva asked hugging cally who was still shivering.

"If the person wanted to hurt only Callidora then why did the person send  it to you in your house and not when she is alone" Miranda pointed out.

"Which means the message is for both of you" Adrian said looking at me.
