The Royal Castaway

Chapter 3

Ever gone on a fair ride after eating a gallon of ice cream then you realise how stupid that was considering how your stomach got thrown around like a big ball of sludge?

That's exactly how I felt when I finally stopped falling and I could feel the floor under my feet,well technically like didn't know if it was a floor because my eyes were closed and I didn't have the courage to open them.
My knees buckled under me causing my butt to meet the floor which kind of felt like marble, definitely not the softest thing to land on.

The dream I was having was super realistic that I was actually feeling the pain. If I ever dreamed of Julian again  I would kick his behind so hard he wouldn't be able to sit for a week.

'Kiddo if you're going to die on a floor don't do it here, if he finds you he'll kill me too.' a voice that sounded familiar said from somewhere above me.

'Just five more minutes, I don't want to go to school you idiot.' I groaned.
Why can't the world leave alone to sleep and why is my bed so cold?

I heard some shuffling and finally some peace and quiet. I would have happily slept my life away if it wasn't for the cold spray of icy water that followed after and almost  drowned me.

That tears it, nobody and I mean nobody tries to drown me. Waking me up I can tolerate but water, that is just crossing the line,  I was practically seeing red. Woe unto the wise guy who pulled that one off, when I'm done with him he won't be able to...

My Subconscious : enough with the yapping already go kick some butt, I want to go back to sleep.

Thanks for reminding me. I lunged for the closest thing to a human form I  could find and tackled it to the ground. By the girlish screamed I got from it I'd say I did a good job 

'Get off me you animal!' the person shouted.

That's when I  got a good look at  my victim.

'Julian? Is that you?' I asked.

'No it's the Queen.'

Since when did Julian become the queen? I mean he does know he's a guy right? Or maybe he isn't?
I'm so confused right now.

'Kiddo get off me before I do something I'm going to regret.' Julian growled.

'You wouldn't dare.'
Hardly had I finished my sentence than he chucked my off him. So much for wouldn't dare.

'Chic I ain't got time for your stupid games. I have my death to evade.' he growled.

'You should have thought of that before you tried to kill me.' I snorted.

This guy really needed a reality check because how can he be killed if he was already  a vampire?

'Julian is there a way to kill vampires, if you still insist that you are one?' I asked.

Deep down I knew that he was a bloodsucker but somehow my mind didn't want to accept that. My subconscious shook her head while flipping through an edition of Vogue.

We both experienced teleportation honey and the guy did impersonate Weasel, if that doesn't scream vampire I don't know what does?

'Kid being a vampire doesn't mean you're invincible, of course there are ways to kill a vampire but I'm not telling you anything. I still want to try out pizza and have to be alive to do that.'

'Holy flying Weasel, you haven't eaten pizza like ever?' my eyes were basically popping out.

'Anything wrong with that kiddo?' he raised an eyebrow.

'It's not wrong just sad.'
I mean who has had a taste of pizza, even Nona Santos with her few  teeth would never miss a single terrific Tuesday at the Pizza Shack but then Nona Santos wasn't exactly what I'd like to call normal. She wasn't the kind of grandma who knits sweaters and bakes cookies but if you ever wanted a diss mail Nona Santos was your girl. That's why she was the only Santos I go along with. If there is a prank you want to do just know Joe and Nona beat you to. Those were good times well until they took her to the old people house just to separate us.

'I thought vampires couldn't eat human food?' l asked as it popped into my head.

'We do eat normal food but it can't sustain us the way blood does and in any case Derilium doesn't offer the same food as your world does.' he explained.

Derilium? Your world? Is he trying to say he is from another world? I finally got a chance to detach my focus from Julian and turn it to the area we were currently in. The place was breathtaking. It looked like one of those apartments from the Strip that
are always on commercials. It's black and white themes gave of a sterile vibe and the glass wall on one side with a mountain view was utterly gorgeous. Did Julian live here? I bet he did, with all the money he got from kidnapping helpless girls, he could afford a place like this.

Suddenly Julian materialized in front of me, spooking the fudge out of me.
God this guy really wanted to give me a heart attack, didn't he?

'What gives Julian? At least give a girl a notice if you want to give her a coronary!' I yelled at him

'I was talking to you but weren't listening, so I thought this was the only way to get you attention.' he sulked managing to look so cute and so fierce at the same time.

'Well you have it now!' I snapped back.

'Great cause we've got a big problem.' he tensed a little.
What else is new? I've been talking to one ever since I met Julian.

'Part of my job was to deliver you to Him.' Julian looked spooked out to say the least.

'Who's Him? And don't tell me you're scared?' I asked incredulously.

'Do you think I'm crazy? Of course I'm scared. The rumors about this guy in Derilium are too vivid that no one in their right mind would come here.'

'Then why are you here?'

'I have my reasons kid.'

I took a moment to analyze Julian's appearance hoping to get a read of him. His black hair was still as ruffled as ever but that only worked to give him an out of the bed look. His coffee brown eyes darted around nervously as if expecting a surprise attack. He was only a few inches taller than me but that didn't make him any less intimidating. If his tensed shoulders were anything to go with I'd say Julian was scared majorly. If this guy was so frightening that he made Julian turn into a blundering mess then I gotta hide.

'Who is this guy Julian and where is he?'
Maybe he was far away from here you know on another continent or maybe on another planet, right?

'His name is Nikolai Donovan and he's coming here. Hide behind me kiddo because for some reason you don't have a scent so maybe he won't pay much attention to you at first. What ever you do, stay silent.'

You don't have to tell me twice. Time to face the big bad wolf or rather big bad vamp. Was I prepared for this? Nope. Will he probably kill me? Yap

Julian sighed,' Well time to face the castaway.'

My thoughts exactly. My breath hitched as I heard silent footfalls. Let all hell break loose.
