Prince of The Night

Chapter 22

=Jason

It's been a week and a half since I last saw Rue. Samuel told me that after he dropped her off, she pretty much had a mental breakdown. He went into her eyes because he wanted to see how she truly felt about the situation as well as the fact that he feared she'd do something unreasonable.

I told her not to tell anyone, but she ended up telling her brother. I chose not to feel disrespected by that after she lied to my face.

But when Samuel told me she was breaking down I had the strong urge to go and see her and help her regain her temper. I wanted to hold her in my arms and tell her she's okay and it will be okay. She would've naturally found out in about 10 years from now when she's the only one out of her friends not aging.

Samuel didn't give me much insight on the conversation they had after she told him about her other half. I didn't beg him, I didn't want to know.

I've been paranoid since then. The man in the casket looks exactly like Jeff meaning there's a huge possibility that that man is their father. Samuel and I didn't even have the opportunity to discuss the past because my father has been keeping him busy this past week. So I still know nothing and my suspicions aren't verified.

Jeff probably told Rue more than what I knew. And what he knew may paint me out to be the bad guy and Rue might never want to talk to me again.

I know I said I haven't seen or spoke to her in a week and a half, but then again, she hasn't either. She has my contact information. Why can't she just fucking call me or something and tell me she's okay and that our relationship isn't damaged.

Why can't she just fucking reach out to me dammit.

"Get out of your head you idiot." Dani's annoying ass voice cut my thoughts short.

Annoyed, I groaned and sat up from my bed.

I noticed Dani's eyes dilated as she stared at my bare chest.

"Don't be a pervert." I rolled my eyes and grabbed my shirt from the other side of my bed.

She shook her head in embarrassment and harshly blinked her eyes.

"I wasn't being a pervert. I'm a woman, you're a man. When I see a chest I look. You're not special." She spat.

I pressed my lips together and glanced at her blankly. Thinking back to what Samuel said with how this girl is in love with me, I am now not shocked that it's true.

"So what do you want?" I groaned.

"I just want some company." She kicked her slippers off and sat at the edge of my bed.

I got up from the bed and stood at the other side of the room to maintain my distance. Dani is smart and hella manipulative and although she hasn't tried anything on me in the past, now that I know there's a possibility she might, I'd rather maintain my distance.

"There's other people in this big ass home, why don't you go to them." I pointed towards the door.

"Those people are not us Jason. Your father is just letting them stay here until their blood lust calms down then he will release them out to the public." She looked disgusted by the mention of those people.

"What do you mean by us?"

"Natural born vampires. They were turned by the lower class."

"Most of us aren't natural born vampires anyway. It's very very rare for a vampire to have a baby dude."

"So what. We are natural born, the people on the council are natural born, they're not."

"Look Dani, if you just came in here to degrade other people, then I don't wanna converse with you." I went to put my socks on.
