The Vampires Slave

Chapter 13

*Nathalies P.O.V.*

I had heard that fool Lace howling through the whole castle, but they wouldn’t find me. No they wouldn’t. I laughed silently to myself. I was in the tower at the west wing. ‘Accidentally’ the same wing the castles medics station was in. I was a genius. But I was next in line. I should have been his slave. He should be falling in love with me. I should have been in his arms this morning! And I should have watched her die instead of letting Lace save her. He would die too. He pushed me away just to- To go and see that whore!

But I will have my prince and I will kill that whore. He will be mine. And he will turn me! We will be together for eternity! I smiled at this and looked out of the window as I swayed and hummed a lullaby.

*Laces P.O.V.*

I ran into the throne room with Austin and looked around. I didn’t see the king anywhere and I asked all the servants I was passing if they knew where he was. They said, we'd missed him because he was on his way to his son. We ran outside and caught him while he was mounting his horse. We yelled and waved our hands. He turned his head in our direction and turned to face us. We came to a halt in front of him and greeted the king with a bow.

“What is this commotion about?”, He asked in confusion.

“It’s about your sons slave.”, I said and watched him turn his full attention on me.

“Young Samantha?”, He asked in utter surprise. “Go on, please.”

“She was almost murdered.”, I watched his face twist in disbelief. “By Nathalie.”

“Nathalie? Why would she so something as stupid as trying to kill someone, my sons slave, no less.”, He said in fading disbelief.

“Nathalie was supposed to be your sons next slave...”

“Yes, she was next in line. After his last slave had committed suicide....”, He said slowly.

“Yes, I think that there is a possibility that Nathalie killed her too.”

“But why wouldn’t she have killed Samantha earlier?”, He asked, confused.

“She was pushed over the edge this morning.”

“What happened?”

“She walked into Leviathans room and saw him half naked on the couch with Samantha in his arms. She was wrapped in a blanket and was leaning on his shoulder sleeping.”, I said trying to keep my voice even but I didn’t succeed as the king noticed my disapproving tone.

“Ah, yes...”, He smiled knowingly. “I knew she was the one. I knew it the moment you brought her here, Austin.”

“You knew what?”, I asked in horror.

“That is not important now, how is she?”

“Her throat is bruised, making it almost impossible for her to breathe on her own. Also there are black and blue colored imprints on her neck which I’m sure will be a perfect match with Nathalies hands. She is in a artificially induced coma, and is connected to a heart monitor. The doctors will be at her side at all times. I found her this morning almost dead in the bathroom that is connected to Leviathans room.”, I finished. He gave the reins of his horse back to his servant and walked towards the castle.

“Did you have Nathalie thrown into a cell?”, He asked.

“No, she disappeared. But I suspect that she’s still within the castle.”, I said. The king walked to a guard and gave him a quick description of Nathalie and that she was to be thrown into a cell the moment she was caught.
