Eat Me Up

Chapter 21

My body isn't rushing to get off the bed but relaxing into the feeling of William on top of me. I'm getting a little troubled about where the new tenderness is coming from.

My killer is right in front of me and i'm placed in his hold, about to get me my next punishment refill. I'm sure that this won't be my last one.

Still I find myself drifting away by how comfortable the bed and William is. All these new changes is draining me, and his touch doesn't make it easy to be conscious. I rather wanna lay in his touch, him next to me. Taking me in his arms and rest my head on his heart. The thought of it makes me drift away and smile paints on my lips.

"I want you awake" he say in a soft voice. I flinch at his sudden change of tone.

"I want to go home" I tell him softly, Still determined to leave this place.

"You can't" he say moving closer to me. My breath stop and my heart starts beating faster.

"Why not" I say and look up at his dreaming blue eyes and the time stops. William pupils widen and I can feel that we both are feeling the urge to be...

Closer.

"I need you here. You aren't well" he lets out. William curse as he spill the reason behind by why I'm here.

"What do mean, I'm not well. I feel perfectly fine" I exclaim confused? The way he said it made me wide awake and uncomfortable. I lean more up with my elbows and see the way he gets annoyed on my new mood change.

"You aren't well!" He say out loud. I shrink back into the bed. The memory of him breaking my neck surface and I feel my stomach knot and my steady body now shaking.

"I'm sorry" he sighs. My brows furrows, this is the first time he says sorry to me. Is me being close to him making him soften?

"I don't know what game your playing this time William. But don't you dare lie to me especially not when it's about my health"

He gives me a intimidating look and pull himself off the bed. I see him walk away only to stop at the door.

"I expect you downstairs in 5 min" he demands and then leave the room.

I sigh and get off the bead. Doing so my head starts throbbing and a pulsing sensation starts on my right side of the head. I feel the nausea come soon after. The next I know is vomit on the toilet tiles accompanied by my last food I ate. I haven't eaten more than two days I believe. I flush the toilet and splash some water on my bare face. I take a look at myself on the mirror and gasps.

My eyes was glowing again, they were the same color as the last time just slightly more bright. What does it mean? I slowly move my hand to touch my eyes.

"Madame, Mr. Hunter need you downstairs" a woman says at the doorframe of the bathroom.

I jump, there is another person in the castle. No another maid, he has a maid? I hold my heart to steady the pulsing beating and take a moment to examine her on if she is even real.

This could be a hallucination caused by my new discovered eyes. When I touch her, she gives me a confused look. I poke her again and she gives me a don't try that  look.

"Sorry ma'm. I didn't mean to scare you but you needed downstairs" the maid tell me politely, where as her face looked confused and rattled.

"Umm, yes I will be right down" I tell and gives her a mix of a smile and what the hell are you doing here look?

"Magnificent" she say and leaves with a nod.

God, is she from the old ages. Please don't be another vampire. I take one more look in the mirror and the eyes is back to their normal form. I take a unsteady breath and let myself believe that it could be a hallucination. This could be a after effect of what William did to me.

I walk back the way I came up and when I walk down the many many awful stairs. I finally let out another breath, the nausea was back. This time stronger and I lean down on the staircase and close my eyes.

Breathing in and out

"You look awful" a strange voice says? I open my eyes and turn then on the stranger. The wall was empty before but now it had a person leaned against it.

"Who are you" I sigh

"My name is Harry" he tells  me and gives me a charming smile. He still has his back leaned on the wall in front of me and I give him a judging look.

"Just Harry" I ask a little bit amusive.

"I prefer you calling me Harry"

"You do?"

"I do and you are?" he question.

"A prisoner" I say smoothly.

"Uh, that sounds... veil" he say with a pause and paint it with a smile.

I pause for a moment, he is a great conversationalist. Charming and handsome, he looks proximally at the same age as me. He must be a vampire, that's for sure.

"Aren't your beings... veil" I say with the same tone.

His smile fades when he notice my real feelings toward their kind. I pull up a smirk and leave.

"Bye, Bity" I tell him sarcastically and leave him to bother someone else. It doesn't surprise me that there is another vampire. It looks like he isn't the only surprise here. First I thought this place was empty but I was wrong. Just like I'm about what happens next. This wouldn't be the last time I see Just Harry.

"It's Harry" he say loud. I feel his eyes on me when mine leaves his. I don't response to his announce but he I feel him lingering his eyes on me.

A door open to my left as I walk down the hall.

It's the maid. She motions for me to walk in and I obliged.
