Bloodlines - Book One - COMPLETE

Chapter 15

"I what?" I ask.

"The reason they believe you have that mark, is because they night some of the Dragomire died, you came out with the Mark. The crest of the family." He says.

"But...why...would I do that? That's disgusting!"

Raising an eyebrow at me, he smirks. "Didn't you feed from Desmond?" My face went flush and I looked away remember how hot and heavy we got hours ago. "I guess it wasn't that gross huh?"

"But...why? Why would someone do that?"

"For power." He states as a matter of fact. "Desmond believes you are working with Vampire hunters and tried to take a bloodlines power. Which is possible ... kind."

I felt sick. I felt sick to my stomach that they think I would do something like this.

"It's not the complete power, they are still studying it. But they believe you can control that bloodlines lineage. All vampires that were turned by the Dragomires."

"Can that be done?"

He shrugs, and leans forward. "I have no clue."

I lean back and question my existence. Did I do this...is this why I have this mark....

Stephan stood up and leaned over me placing his hands on the arm rest. "But my question is...why are you human? You don't smell like it...but you are very much so human..."

Looking up at him, I began to worry. Stephan was comforting at first but his demeanor changed. "If you...guard the Rose line...why aren't you angry?" I ask. He just stood there silent. "Why are you telling me this... who are you?"

None of this made sense. This sounds like a terrible thing. This is a terrible thing for him to casually talk about.

"My name is Stephan Lemment. And I am a... friend." His smile grew revealing fangs. "I want what's best for you Amilia. And Desmond is the safest vampire to be with." He sits up and turns to the door. "I left a phone in that book. Its to call me when you need it."

Looking at the book I grew worried on why i would need it.

"If you feel Desmond would kill you. Then call. But I doubt he would, he's already lost the fire to end you." Stephan says and leaves.

Leaving me standing there confused, and disgusted in myself. What an inhumane thing to do, and i...

No. I can't. I won't believe that. Looking down at my Mark I felt ashamed when I use to feel beautiful with it. Now I'm at war.

A single tear rolls down my face.

Haley wouldn't return to the ball room. So it was just Desmond watching everyone dance and me sitting on my knees thinking about what Stephan had said.

"Little kitten," Desmond says. Looking over at him he looked worried, and not quite sure why he called me. "Where...did you go?"

Do I tell him about Stephan? Do I mention any of it.

No, I don't think it's the best idea to mention any of it.

"I went for a walk." I say and watched the hand around my leash tighten and then release.

He reaches for me and close my eyes. Does he know...that I lied?

The sound of a soft click and a tug of my collar made me snap my eyes open. Desmond is rolling up my leash in his hand and glaring down at me out of the corner of his eye. "I am trusting you not to run."

"Why...?" I whispered feeling hopeful.

"We will talk about why later," he says and gulps down whatever was in his wine glass. Standing up I could sense his muscles coil and see him snarl as he looks at me. With hunger.

Feeling my cheeks heat up I turn away and look down at my hands. Does he...want to eat me? Oh God...please no.

I chanted in my head. But I felt I was lying to myself. I wanted him to, I wanted do bite every surface. His hot breath down my skin, down my neck like earlier. His groans...his hands.

Stop!

I yell at myself and held my breath feeling Desmonds pant leg brush along my back and he leaves without another word.

For the rest of the night it's been pretty dull. I watched everyone dance and have fun. Stephan eventually came back looking pretty happy.

Desmond or Haley never did though.

And Alice was being her normal self in touching Lorna and her escorting me to Desmond's room. And surprise....he wasn't there.

Alice closed and locked the door behind her, and the sounds of Lorna giggling and running down the hall eoched in the room.

Looking down at my feet I felt odd. Something doesn't feel right. Something is right between Stephens story and how Desmond acts.

They was he said he won't hurt me. Or the way Stephan told me everything, or assumed everything he knows.

The way Desmond said he will talk.

I wanna go home so bad.
