My Vampire Love

Chapter 43

Brittany's POV

I hadn't seen Cole for days. He's been pretty busy, I guess. I felt like something was wrong. I just couldn't place a pin on it. Since Cole and Rhea's fight with their dad, everyone's been extra busy, except me.

I just busied myself with writing more songs in my book, which was gradually getting boring to me. There was no doubt that I loved music but doing nothing but sleeping, eating, taking long baths and writing a couple of songs really bores someone out.

Someone knocked on the door.

"Who's there?"

"Miss Brittany, I've been asked to guard your door. You can call me if you need anything". Someone said.

"Okay". I said.

"Um-" I said.

"Yes?" He answered

"Do you know where C- Prince Cole is?"

"I have no idea where he is".

"Oh, okay". I said.

I tucked myself under the duvet, ready to sleep, when another knock interrupted me.

"Who's there?" I asked.

"It's me- M- miss Brittany". The guard said.

He sounded panicked.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"Y- yes. I was told to deliver food to you". He said.

"Okay. Leave it on the floor". I said.

I waited for sometime before unlocking the door to take the food. Malcolm had told me that my door was locked on the outside and I could only unlock it from inside. He also advised me to open the door only when it was very important. Food is very important, right? He then told me a code I needed to unlock the door.

I opened the door to take the tray of food on the floor and closed the door.

"So long, old friend". Someone said behind me, making me jump in fright.

"How did you get in?" I asked.

"I walked here while you were busy picking up your tray". He said, folding his arms.

Right. He used his supernatural abilities to his advantage.

It was Adrian.

Flashback**

After Cole left, instructing me not to open the window, I couldn't help but feel curious.

I wanted to see what was happening outside. What's the worse that could happen anyways?

Alright, just a quick peek and I'll shut it back.

I pulled the curtains apart and opened the window without giving it a second thought. If Cole ever knew I opened the window, I was definitely going to get punished. But I opened it... A few seconds passed yet nothing happened. I looked at the beautiful world outside. It felt good to feel the cool breeze on my face.

My blissful moment was interrupted by a whoosh. What just happened?

I closed the window back, feeling a little bit guilty for disobeying Cole's orders but again, disobeying him also made me feel kind of good. It reminded me that I was the boss of myself.

I spotted someone leaning on the wall at the far end of the room, making me jump in fright.

Creepy.
