Chained To A Vampire (ON HOLD)

Chapter Five

Pressing my back against the wall I watch Paul head towards the door, my palms are sweaty and I can feel Aeliana ready to take control if required.

Let me at them

Violence is not always the answer Aeliana.

You bit him. Why can't I go and bite someone

You bite to kill. I didnt

He did taste yummy though, I wonder if he will let us do it again?

Aeliana would you stop!

I watch as Paul swings open the door, the violet eyed man is there, glaring towards me until Paul steps in his way.

"What Byron?" Paul asks, tiredly.

"She needs to come back with us now." Byron demands, Paul glances back at me where I frantically shake my head, feeling Aeliana trying to break through my control.

"No, she will come when she's ready."

"Look I know you like her Paul, but Serena is disappearing." I hear Paul's breath catch and I notice the minute shaking in Byrons frame.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean she's starting to disappear, her fingers have gone." Paul looks back at me, panic and pain in his gaze, I feel the compulsion to comfort him but my fear of Byron keeps me rooted to the spot.

"il talk to her, head back there now with Dylan." Paul slams the door in Byrons face and quickly crosses the room, holding my cheeks softly between his large palms, I feel his heartbeat through his skin, his comforting scent calms my body, I didn't realise I was shaking until now.

"I'm scared." I admit, falling into his honey pools.

"I will be with you the whole time. I can keep all the others away from you so you will only see Alex and Serena."

"What if I can't help?"

"what have you got to lose by trying?"

"Okay, as long as you promise not to leave me."

"I promise." Paul easily replies, his gaze shining honesty, wrapping my arms around his waist I lay my head on his chest, over his heart, feeling his heart beating against my skin. His strong arms encase me and I melt against him, his cool skin heating at my touch, his lips press softly against the top of my head, making my knees weak.

"I'm going to go and change then we should go." I whisper, feeling terrified.

I don't like mages

I know but this one is innocent

She could destroy me

What are you talking about?

Mages created me, created theriantheropes. They could take me away, she could destroy me. Destroy us.

Look if i feel like something is wrong I promise I will let you lead, run us far away and never look back

Do what you feel is right.

"I'll call Byron and tell him to stay away with the others."

"thank you." I reply gratefully as I gently extract myself from his grip and head into the bathroom, closing the door I take a deep breath as I look in the mirror, my wide eyed gaze greets me, my skin is flushed and my hair is a complete mess. Quickly changing into a light grey loungesuit I slip on some socks and a pair of trainers, twirling my hair and knotting it around itself to keep it out of my face. My body thrums with nervous energy but I pull up my big girl pants, metaphorically, taking a deep breath I head back into the living area just as Paul is ending the call, he pinches the bridge of his nose, unaware of me watching.
