chapter 4

                              *Veronica's POV*
(Picture of Justin above)

      I moved out of the room, looking left and right but every door looked the same. I looked for the stairs, but I couldn't find any. Now I understand why I needed a maid. Well since I don't know the way down I need to at least get food cause I am starving.

      I opened a huge door, the exact way that my room door and every other room door looked. I moved inside and closed the door behind me, all lights in the room switched on. I could see it was a library. Nice, I can read about their history. I said as I climbed the ladder near a shelf labeled ' vegetarian ' I picked up a book and came down.

     I cleaned it with my palm to read the title. "How to break your vegetarian fast," I said as I moved to a stool to sit.
Cool, I wonder how. I looked more and saw a small transparent ball held up by a brace on the book, below the title.

       'I think I have to put my blood in it .' I thought. I brought out my necklace which I tucked into my top. My mother told me not to ever remove it. Reason, have no clue. I leaned forward, put my index finger on top of the ball, and used the pendant to cut my finger to let blood into it.

      It stored the blood and the book opened. I read and read on vegetarianism. And finally how to break the fast.
"You have to drink your mate's blood."
"What? Why? How does it concern your mate? "I asked myself as I kept on reading.
"If you drink too much due to its sweet taste, he or she will die. If you can control yourself, both of you will survive." I read out.

     "Men, vampires are weird, disgusting blood-sucking things," I said as I closed the book and climbed to return it.

       I came down from the ladder and dusted the dust off my hands. I looked up to see a guy, a handsome guy. It was really scary but I summoned courage and spoke. To the handsome guy with brownish blond hair, grey-eyed, tall standing about 6ft, and well-built body.

"Who are you?." He asked me first like he could read my mind.

"Hmm.Veronica." I said

"I don't seem to remember any name like that." He said between gritted teeth.

"I am new here. I was brought here yesterday night as a prisoner." I answered.

"Oh, okay then..... Why does everywhere smell so tasty." He said as he sniffed the air around me.

"I don't smell anything," I said also sniffing the air.

"You are human right?." He asked me

"Yes," I said as I moved backward in case he was a vampire.

"Did you put your blood into a book to read ?." He asked

"Yes, just to know about vampires who are vegetarians," I answered.

"Don't spill your blood just anywhere especially where vampires are. Okay." He said with a smile. That just confirmed that he was a vampire. A good one... Unlike the annoying bastard.

"Okay, I understand," I said with a smile.

"Good, what is your name." He said with a smirk.

"Veronica, as I said earlier."

" I know, just tried to recall if anyone I knew had the name Veronica. " He said
"My name is Justin. Justin Mark." He added.

"Cool, nice to meet you," I said as I stretched my hand out to shake his. His hands were extremely cold.

"I am starving, please can you take me to eat," I said rubbing my flat tummy.

"Let's go. I will show you." He said as we left the library.
