Bloody

Meeting New People

Serena led us away from the door and into another room, not too far from my sire’s.

Trisha left us alone and I assumed it was to go to her room.

“Who are you exactly?” I asked her curiously. She sat on the couch and I joined her.

“You don’t have your memories yet, but you will. Am Lucien’s consort”.

“Consort, that’s like wife right?”

Nodding, she said. “Guess I’ve lived so long, I don’t even know what the kids call it these days”.

I smiled at her comment and said. “I might not remember you, but am sure I loved you”.

She smiled so bright, and her beauty was enchanting. Meeting her, Trisha, Nate and my sire, am going to say all vampires were beautiful. Even Chase was beautiful, crazy, but beautiful.

“You should shower and rest. Dinner will be brought to you soon”.

I nodded to her gratefully and she left. Sitting on the bed alone, I looked around the room. The room was big but not as big as my sire’s. It was painted red, my favourite colour, the bed was in the middle and the couch to the side.

I was just about to take my clothes off, to hit the shower when the door opened, and a pale girl who looked like she was not older than nineteen entered. Her skin was pale, so I guessed she was a vampire. In her hands were clothes.

“Lady Serena asked me to drop these for you. She thought you might need a change of clothes”.

The girl dropped the clothes and stood there.

“Thank you, do you need something else?” I asked, referring to her still in my room.

“No, eh, is just, I’ve only seen you in pictures and seeing you in reality is so different. The girl who was able to survive the sire’s turning. Who was able to be Lord Travis anchor”

I had no idea what the last part meant but I didn’t want to go into that. Deciding to focus on something easier, I asked.

“Pictures, what pictures?” The girl shifted uncomfortable and said. “Eh, the pictures in sire’s room. I clean his room, so I see the pictures. I didn’t just enter his room to look at pictures, if  that’s what you’re thinking”.

“I wasn’t thinking that”. I said, but now she said it, I was starting to think that’s exactly what she did.

“Do you need help showering?”

Do I need help showering? that’s a very weird question, but I had to be polite.

“No, am fine”.

“Okay, well I should wait here. You might need my help”.

Who needs help showering? She made showering seem like a battle.

“Seriously, I think I can manage”.

“Oh okay, I’ll just wait here”.

I didn’t have the strength to argue with her anymore and so with one last look, I turned to go to the bathroom. Remembering I didn’t know her name, I turned and asked.

“What’s your name?”

“Juliana, but everyone calls me Ana”.

“Well Ana, if you must wait, please sit”.

Shyly, she walked to the couch and sat down. Taking the clothes she brought, I walked to the bathroom.

After my shower, I changed my clothes and came out of the bathroom. Surprising Ana was gone. Untangling my hair and braiding it in a ponytail.

A minute after I was done, Ana walked in carrying a tray of food. Immediately I saw the food my stomach growled. I can’t remember the last time I eat, probably before this whole thing started.

“Someone’s hungry?” she joked, taking the food from her, I said.

“Yeah, I can’t remember the last time I eat”.

“Do you want to join me?” I asked her.

“No, am good. Not my kind of food”

Not my kind of food, what did that mean?

“What’s your kind of food?”

“Blood, vampires prefer that over food”. 

I think I just lost my appetite. How could I forget I was in the mist of vampires, blood-sucking vampires?

Done with my food, I drank a few drops of water and handed the tray back to her.

“Thank you”. I said grateful.

Nodding, she said. “You’re welcome, follow me, Lord Lucien wants to speak with you”.

I stood and followed her out the door. We walked in silence for over two minutes, before we stopped at a door. She opened the door and gestured for me to get in. I walked in, and the room went silent. The first thing I noticed was everyone starring at me. Some with shocked faces, others with smiles. I looked around and noticed how long each dining table was.

The table in which food was kept was almost as long as the room, which was saying something. In each side, vampires sat orderly, food and drinks were mounted on each table. I was confused why they were food and drinks I thought vampires drank blood. Then I looked closely, seeing the red drinks on each of their cups, I concluded that was blood. Ignoring their stares, I walked to my sire.

At the head of the seat was my sire and to his right was Serena. Walking to them, I carefully sat by his left. Looking around, at all the people staring, he cleared his throat and everyone suddenly looked busy.

“Now, let’s eat”. My sire said, everyone nodded and everyone launched at his or her food.

After our very brief dinner, everyone left, leaving my sire, Serena and I alone.

“Now let’s talk”. My sire said. Intimidated by his tone, I sat properly and focused my all my attention on him.

Another chapter done...
