VAMPIRE EMPIRE

CHAPTER TWELVE

//Rulia //
Turns out my mom did adress the issue. I knew she'd never let me down. I am coming downstairs when the conversation with mom starts.

"I happened to be addressed by your sister about this emotionally confusing moments you've been having. Do you want to talk about it?" mom starts it. I freeze on the staircase and take off my marvin to make sure I hear the words all firsthand, no synthetic filters.

"It's not confusing. I have feelings for her. Am sorry that sucks for you, but we will work it through." He responds. I have to see what their faces look like during this conversation. Seriously! It should be more action filled than that.

"I know. Am going to Nerdon in just a few days to make a last court appearance. You're coming. I hope Rulia will too. " She informs him, now they're holding hands. It's like he's hypnotising her and she just can't see that for God's sake!

"Yaaaay! You're adopting him officially! " I celebrate finally showing my face finally. All fake excitement. I am really going to make the next Lupita Nyong'o. We all are in the same mood, let's face it, it's right out there. Drew getting adopted is definitely not helping anyone.

Which sadly reminds me, Britt just texted me how much she hated me. I deserve it. Really? I do, am sure she's been a witch long enough to know the consequences of bringing up a dead witch, either you die or a very close and really important person to you dies. I know she's going to kill me,  she just doesn't have to keep reminding me through my phone. It has purposes.

I don't know that much people, so I don't have people to lose, though I must admit throughout the silent drive to school I thought of blowing up this car and jumping out of it. It would be fun to watch it explode with hot pieces of scrap metal tossing in the air. Drew's screams would be icing to the cake.

(Few days later)

"Why do you feel the need to babysit him. I thought he learnt a little manners in the period he was gone. "Travis whines.

I may be seriously week after being hangover in four consecutive days and drunk in that same number of nights. He looks handsome by the way in a clean_shaven face and a sensible haircut. My eyesight is coming back.

" He had,  then this Rulia chic happened and he can't just seem to get over her, forgive me, I have to go. " Stephy is leaving. I asked her too. I bet she's going to the castle and live in her room. The restaurant is so dead.

I hate her so much, am not stupid. I know she did this to me, take something that I love the most away from me. I compelled her to tell me the whole story as it happened. She only did that because she was scared I'd turn into a beast once I was heartbroken. She also thinks Rulia paralyzes my thinking and she was 'looking out for me.' It's just that am too wasted to listen, her telling me how she made Rulia dump me like that will make me start puking all over her face, again, like I have been doing on purpose this morning while we awaited Travis appearance.

"Well, he is family and is having his worst moments, I have held this family together for long enough. He doesn't want me around, I have to respect that. "

Robert pushes a pillow further in my back to get me in a position I can sip Travis's blood. When one of us feels sick, the other's blood works magic. I sip the oversalty blood without taking a break. Robert is a good  nurse. Travis is lucky to have him. I sit up, using his help.

"She went too far. She has to be away from me for a while. Travis, how would you feel if Robert didn't care about you anymore?" I challenge him.

"Nothing really, am Travis Menzaine. I don't need anyone. He's just what he is to me. " I says carelessly.
