Princess duties: Vampire Edition

Chap. 4

Thursday

P A R I S

I woke up to see Xavier in a ball with his thumb in his mouth. It was so cute. So I took out my phone and took a picture. I was about to go get Xavier's clothes when I felt a spooky feeling that someone is watching me.

I decided to look through my window. At first glance, it looked like nothing was there. But from a distance, I saw a dark misty figure near the house. The black deep fog seemed to dissipate as I tried to get a better view.

I decided it was probably nothing. So I got back to the task at hand. Searching through some of my clothes I picked out a big tee and some sweatpants. I walked back over to the bed and find Xavier spread eagle taking up all the space with his long legs.

"Wake up," I said politely hoping he was a light sleeper. He was but the way he jumped up and looked around scared shocked me. What did they do to him? He must have still thought he was at his old hellhouse. But he will never have to go back there again.

"You get dressed and I'll make breakfast," I said happily trying to change the mood of the room. I passed him the folded clothes and went downstairs to give him some privacy. I passed Dis with a smile on my way to the kitchen. He waved at me before bowing.

I walked into the pretty marble kitchen and decided to surprise Xavier with good food. Taking out some pancake mix, found the eggs, and ripped the bacon apart. I pulled out 4 pans and got cracking.

I put water in the mix and pancakes on. And mixed it well. When I get it to the right consistency I pour out the mix into the now hot and buttered pan. I cracked 4 eggs, poured them in, and put a little salt to cook them. Before I put 6 bacon strips in the pan beside it. Hearing the bacon sizzle as it crisps is so satisfying.

Then all of a sudden, I started looking for my phone, after a few glances I remembered that it must be upstairs. I ran the nice pristine granite stairs and walked through the hallway to get to my room.

But when I went up to my room I forgot to knock first. Thought he would already be dressed. That's when I saw it..... No......them. Scars and bruises were covering his entire upper body. They were scattered on him like parmesan on a pizza. I can't even imagine what his lower body looks like.

"I am so sorry," I said quietly. He turned to look at me with shock. He quickly put on the shirt I gave him.

"I knew I should have come sooner but I didn't try hard enough. Now I see what they truly did. They hurt you. I should have come soo-" He cut me off by engulfing me in a hug. I was sobbing looking at his sad-ass scars.

"Everything is fine. You saved me. Everything is fine. You saved me." He kept saying to me. When I finally stopped crying and I knew I was good. I hugged him one last time as he smiled at me. Just as he did, I remembered THE FOOD. I pushed him away softly before telling him to follow me.

"My delicious food." I kept repeating as I ran back downstairs afraid that I would see burnt food. Instead, I see Aster and Dis my butler's beloved flipping my pancakes and the eggs had already been scrambled. The bacon looked just right, crispy, and yummy. It smelled scrumptious, and with advanced vampire scenting, Us vampires smell better. Seeing them fix my breakfast made it perfect.

"Thank you so much, Aster. You don't know how much this means to me." I said sincerely. She just nodded before smiling as she left. I went back to finishing the cooking when Xavier came into the kitchen behind me.

"That smells so good. I can't wait to eat. I haven't eaten in a while. And I am starving." He said while staring at the food. He looked so happy when I gave him 2 pancakes, some bacon, and half a plate full of eggs. He gobbled up a 3rd of it before saying he was full. I guess not eating made him get a weak stomach.
