The Golden Queen

Chapter 14 - Break

There's a pic and song up above...you don't have to listen but it kinda helped me create Lyra's character...

...

Lyra's POV

I break the kiss almost as soon as it starts.
"Eros."
I nod and start towards the door. Eros grabs my arm.
"Lyra...please let me explain."
"Explain what?! How you left me after marking me - with absolutely no reason - for over a month?! Oh and did I also mention how you drank my blood?!"
"Amare, I understand you're angry, however I couldn't stay. My people, vampires are at war with the wolves. They would have thought I was being a weak King."
"Weak King?! Weak? They would be correct to think you're a bad King, you suck!"
I turn around and cross my arms, which leads to the sheet I was wearing dropping. Shit.
I scramble to pick it up, and hear a hiss while doing so. Eros has turned around.
"At least you have the good mind to turn around, butthead."
He smirks and laughs.
"Butthead? That's rich."
I roll my eyes, remembering how bad I have to pee. I smile to myself. Damn my life.
"Well Eros, I think you should go."
"I just got back..."
"Yes but...uh...I need to do human things."
He looks at me, puzzled.
"Well you see, Mr. 'I'm Undead So I Always Look Perfect'...it takes a good bit to look,"
I point to myself.
"This damn good everyday. So if you could please let me pee and shower, it would be great."
His smirk drops for the first time.
"Oh crap, did I brake you?"
I laugh to myself.
"I'd get out unless..."
He smirks again.
"I mean, I don't mind staying amare."
"ASSHOLE GET OUT!!"
He snickers, and jumps out of the window. I grumble to myself. Cole then chooses to knock on the door.
"You ok in there?"
Oh shit I've been in here for a while.
"Um...yeah...I just uh..."
"You sure? I mean last night was pretty..."
"ASSHAT! GO AWAY!"
Blush creeps onto my cheeks.
...
(As in her face, you dirty people.) 😂
...
I smile to myself. Rejecting two guys in under 2 minutes.
I step into the shower and use Cole's soap. I let the water run down my body and then get out. I grab a towel from the large closet in this huge bathroom.
Ain't it great to be King?
And then I realize something: clothes. What the hell do I do now? I need clothes. Ugh.
I grab the sheet and walk back into the room. Cole is nowhere to be seen. Thank God. The lights are off, and if it weren't for all windows, I'd be blind. However, the room is still dark. I look outside to see Cole and Eros fighting.
Oh shoot.
I then remember something.
...
Flashback:
...
I open my eyes to darkness. I sigh, remembering the torture from the night before. I look down at myself, trying to see if I can make out any of my injuries. I try to get up, only to fall. I cry out. The chains on my wrists holding me and my extremely broken leg down.
"Hello, slut."
"Sir."
The lights fly on. I squint, letting my eyes adjust.
"Get off the floor, girl."
"I can't, sir."
"And why not?"
"My leg's broken, sir."
"Of course it is. You know you only cause problems for me? Maybe you should just go die."
My father makes his way towards me. He goes to my unbroken leg and steps on it.
Seeing as how I'm malnourished and weak, it snaps instantly. He laughs.
"Stupid girl. You remind me of your mother, oh wait. No you don't. She was strong up until the very last. And she died carrying you. She died birthing you."
Tears stream down my face. Then he flicks the lights off leaving me in darkness.

...

I look around the dark room. I star breathing heavily. Panic overtakes my senses. I haven't had a panic attack since I met Cole and Eros.
So why now?
Just then, a wave of heat and pain hits me, making me forget my fear. I scream.
"COLE, EROS! H-help."
I hear the door open , then the world fades to black.
