The Empire Of The Rose

Sweet Despair [I]

"You're lost, just admit it." He said through the phone.

I gave a sigh and rolled my eyes.

"I'm not lost, you know I'm seventeen almost eighteen, I don't need you to be taking care of me the entire bloody time brother." I told him.

Mason chuckled through the phone,

"That's what makes it more mirthful, you're completely lost but you are just too bloody damn proud to actually admit it." Mason said and laughed once again.

"You do know that this is my first time in this country, right?" I told him in an annoyed tone.

"This is a private property; you can't be here." A voice said behind me.

"I have to go and don't tell daddy about it; he'll go mental about it." I told Mason and before he could even protest, I hanged up and put away the phone.

"Are you deaf or didn't you hear what I said?" The person said.

I rolled my eyes in annoyance.

I turned around and looked at the guy. He was quite tall, he had tan skin, dark hair and brown eyes, I had to admit it, he wasn't that bad if it wasn't for the fact that he was a bloody twerp.

I raised my hands up lazily in surrender.

"I'm going to be brutal honest with you, I'm lost." I told him.

The guy looked at me.

"Does it look like I care?" The guy told me.

I gave a scoff.

"Are you serious?" I said as I glared at him.

"Deadly, now get out!" The guy said.

I laughed.

"What part of I'm lost didn't you get? According to the directions I got, there was a better path, a shortcut here in the forest, three hours later and guess what? I'm still in the bloody damn forest!" I said explaining.

The guy met my gaze, he looked indifferent to this.

"I don't care, just get off my property." The guy told me.

I gave a sigh in exasperation and rested my hands on my hips.

"Alright then, can you at least tell me where your so-called property ends so I can get the bloody hell out of it?" I told him irritated.

"You see this vast forest and how it spreads over the mountains?" The guy told me.

I nodded but still looked at him confused.

"I don't see your point." I told him honestly.

"All of that is my property and it's not even half of it." He said with a cocky smirk.

I gave a small smile.

"I couldn't care less about how big your territory is; all I want to know is how to get out of here." I told him.

The guy narrowed his gaze at me.

"That's for you to figure out Brit." The guy said before he started to walk away.

I gave a small scoff as I watched him leave, he was unbelievable. I looked around and smiled when I noticed something.

"I hate to break it to you Yank but it seems like your property is infested." I said as I tried not to laugh.

"What?" The guy said as he turned around and sure enough, he saw the same thing I was looking at.

It was a blood sucker.
