Her Heart (1/3)

Chapter 20

Two years later

I woke up expecting Jeremy to be next to me as usual, but he wasn't and I was somewhat sad about it. I don't know why i expected him to be next to me in the morning. I don't even know if he slept in the castle last night or not.

Yeah a lot has changed in the past couple of years. Jeremy and I are acting more like a couple now, on a good day. He spent so long trying to apologise to me for being a jerk. And believe me when i say, he found ways to turn the tables. I thought i would have him begging for my forgiveness but he had me begging for other things instead.

I then woke up anyway and had a shower. Once i was done i slipped into my workout gear since i did some sort of exercise before I started my day. I never had routines because they were easy to track down. And yes, father said those get you killed too.

I found myself thinking about Ryan. I wondered what he was doing. Was he seeing some else? I missed him. Life was most definitely not the same without him. Why'd he just drop me like that? He literally gave up on me.

I know I said some things in the past about Jeremy but honestly I was really angry that he rejected me. I always had a softspot for him and now that he is my prince, it only makes sense to love him.

I tried picking up his scent to see if he was anywhere in the house but got nothing even after my shower, so I gave up and headed downstairs to have some breakfast.

I know i shouldn't really eat before i work-out but today i was only going for a short run. Besides i wasn't human so my body could handle it. I had a golden waffle and a yummy syrup to go with it and drank some orange juice. I still wasn't satisfied, but I didn't want to eat either.

"What's wrong princess?"

"I'm still hungry. Im not satisfied, I feel like something is missing."

"Oh, I know what to do. When last did you hunt?"

"Oh uhm...it's been a while." i say shamefully.

It was always too risky for me to go out hunting, being Elizer's daughter and all. Enemies are always watching, hence i can never have a routine because then I'd be making their job easier to hurt me.

"But can you hunt?"

I nod.

"Then I suggest you go do that."

The thought alone made me extremely thirsty for blood. My mind wondered off to back when I used to trespass in some territories just so I could be chased. I loved how alive it made me feel. I missed that.

"Princess that's not a good idea." Sarah said suddenly.

"Huh?"

"Trespassing."

"Wait was I saying all of that out loud?"

"No. I'm a mind reader."

Of course.

"Don't do it."

"I don't report to you my love." Before she could say anything, I super sped out of that place and began my fun. So I thought.

I was in the woods. The birds chirping, the smell of leafy greens, the woodsy smell of the outdoors in general was amazing.

I observed my pry closely. Father always said the best way to attack was to make my pry let it's guard down, and being a manipulator, i did that easily and then...sprang on him!

I let my fangs surface and I enjoyed the blood rushing through my veins as I drank up every drop of blood.

I got up and the deer dropped lifelessly on the ground. I headed straight for the Grey Viper territory, my favorite one to trespass. Luckily for me, it was closer to Jeremy's castle compared to my father's.
