The Rose

Chapter Four: The Bite

Draco trudged back from his lessons into his room, he dropped into his bed as he listened for Roselyn. He heard nothing, panic began to fill him as he stood. He opened her door slowly when he saw her fast asleep. He smiled, he walked slowly towards her, her beautiful features shined in the faint light from the bathroom. He kneeled down and kissed her cheek carefully before stepping back. He realized her hand was wrapped around a deep red collar.

He cocked his head slightly.

That collar was one he had placed in a special drawer. The drawer was full of all his favorite items he had purchased for her. He turned her body carefully, he looked her over and saw that she was also clutching a piece of paper.

He pulled it free from her hand and smiled. As he opened it his surprise began to grow. It was a drawing of him, in his hand was a rose. He blushed seeing how well it was drawn. He then noticed the leash under her bed. He snickered realizing she was trying to hide it from him. He grabbed it and attached it to her collar in her hand. He laid out the drawing and stepped out of the room. He wanted her to know he had been there.

He sat on his bed with a smirk. He then heard a knock on the door. He closed her door and locked it just to be safe. He opened his to see a familiar face.

"Clarissa what are you doing here?"

In front of him stood a pale female vampire 1000 years older then he was. She had platinum blonde hair and her red eyes were staring at him with wide eyed panic. "They are coming." She said grabbing his arms.

"Who is coming?" He asked with confused.

"The wolves. The leader of the pack and his son. I heard from the harpies. They want to make a pact. Your new pet is probably the reason, may I see her by the way."

"Clarissa you cannot just come here and say that the damn wolves are coming and then act like nothing is happening. Yes you may but later now she is asleep, the wolves why would they want to pack with us?"

She shrugged. "No idea. Come on let me see the little flower."

"Not now I said.. why would..oh no."

"What?" She asked.

"He is going to take her, he wants to make her his. I know why they want to make a pact, they want to distract us and take her, pets are not allowed to come to big meetings. Clarissa I need you to stay here, watch out for her, Clarissa they want to kidnap her."

Clarissa scoffed. "There is no way they would be stupid enough to do that."

"They would too, they are stupid flee bags that want to take my rose."

"Calm down."

"No you do not understand they want to take her I will not allow that. Please stay here with her. Please."

"I...Alright I will let me see the little thing. Is she really as pretty as I have heard."

"Oh far more beautiful." He said as he sighed walking towards her door. Her collar was off. "Stay here for a moment I will wake her for you to meet her."

Clarissa nodded and stopped. He opened the door and slipped in. He smiled and leaned down clipping her collar and and removing the leash. "Princess wake up." He whispered sweetly in her ear. He kissed her nose and began to shake her carefully.

She woke in surprise and saw the drawing on the table, a blush ran over her cheeks. "I.."

"It is a beautiful drawing." He said with a grin. "I really like it."

"Did I sleep to long?"

"No darling a friend is here to meet you. Why did you have the red collar?"
