The Progeny

The Progeny - Part 8

            I feel like we've been stood watching Zeeke leave for hours, that's how much time has stood still. What did he mean about Estella having an obsession with me and more importantly wanting to bone me! I mean does she like me...like that? "Follow me," Estella's head doesn't turn towards me as she speaks, she begins to walk towards the large glass staircase down the other end of the hallway where Zeeke came from and I trail behind her not knowing if I should speak yet, I've come to learn that letting her cool off is the best path to take. The upstairs hallway mirrors the downstairs décor and the white and light grey theme is still going strong. Estella leads me over to a closed door, "you can have this room," I was starting to get used to seeing some sort of emotion and life in her, but since her bust up with Zeeke she's back to being her blank, monotone self. "I thought the house was just a decoy?" Estella pushes the door open and gestures for me to go in, "for us it is yeah, but why would you wanna sleep underground when you can have use of the actual house and a bed?" I shrug my shoulders and push out my bottom lip slightly, I don't want her to see that I was actually hoping we would be staying together...The room is pretty cool, the large full length windows have the most beautiful view of the outdoor greenery and flowers. A large grey king size bed rests against the wall, the thick white comforter has a turquoise blue throw sprawled across it covered in little beads and the small decorative pillows follow suit in the same style and colour, the headboard is a soft suede and travels at least half way up the wall, I mean it's huge! Two white bedside tables sit either side of the bed and large white chest of draws is placed on the adjacent wall, a giant silver vase stands in the center for decorative purposes, it really is striking. I drop my bag onto the bed and turn to look at Estella, "make yourself at home, I'll get Layla to stock the kitchen up for you and feel free to use the shower, living room and gym" I cant hid the concern on my face,

"You're sure this is ok, me being here, I mean Zeeke didn't seem to happy to see me," Estella rolls her eyes and walks over to the large window, she gazes out into the night, "look, don't worry about Zeeke, let me handle it, he's too much of a little bitch to see the potential here"

"And what potential is that? That I turn into the slayer and help you kill Edwardo? I mean are you even going to consider what I actually want to do in all this, or am I just your little pet that you're going to train to kill?" Estella turns in my direction,

"What? No! Of course not! I've been the one helping you here, how can you think I'm using you for my own agenda!" her voice rises with anger and it sparks the same emotion off inside of me, "then what happens from here? I've just left my home, my father, my job, for what?" She moves at lightening speed and her face is now millimeters from mine, "now I teach you to fight, I mean properly fight, I teach you how to use weapons against us, I teach you to kill...and once you're ready you kill your first Vampire!" I take a step back from her and scrunch my face,

"Yeah and that's another thing, where do I find a vampire to kill, I mean I know I'm in a house with three of them, but I'm assuming your plan wasn't for me to kill your friends or you" Estella's eye contact is intense, she moves towards me closing the gap I've just created, "how about the vampire that killed your mother?" my eyes grow wide, anger pulses through me, I clench my fists at my side and try and hold back the scream I want to let rip. Estella must be able to sense my emotion as she places her hands on my face and cups my cheeks, "hey, listen to me, you can do this! I know you can, I wont let you go out there until you're ready, I promise!" I don't know if it's the mixed emotions running through me or the heat of the moment, but before she can say another word I lunge forward and my lips meet hers for the first time. I've wanted to do this since the first night I met her, I can't get her off of my mind and the feelings I have when I'm with her are like nothing I've ever felt before. She does well to keep up the façade that she's a heartless bitch, but I know there's so much more inside her, I KNOW she has feelings for me! Why else has she been around for all these year and why else would Zeeke those comments!
