His Beloved(A vampire's mate)

Chapter 12

*Writer's POV*
(Balian's realm)

Sebastian sat on his huge golden throne and two golden stools side by side. A red long rug connected the entrance door to the throne. The whole hall was dark and the only source of light was the seven-candle stand placed side by side the throne.

The huge metallic door was opened by the guards outside as they let Vivian enter the hall.
Sebastian rose his head from his it's bent position as he looked at her kneeling in front of the stairs leading to the throne. Sebastian dropped his cup which was filled with a red crimson substance.

"Sir, I'm sorry. Please spare me. I can explain." Vivian started in a trembling voice as her body shook slightly.

"What can you explain?" I gave you an instruction to kill the emperor's family, especially his daughter. You killed her mother and for years you knew where she was and you let it slide, and didn't kill her. Upon that, you had the guts to lie to me that she is dead. While she's still alive and has the powers to kill me...
Why should I spare you?!?!"

Sebastian said as he motioned with full speed towards her and lifted her with one hand strangling her.

"Sir, ple-a-se. Let me ex-pla-in." Vivian pleaded as Sebastian dropped her hard on the ground.

"Talk I don't have much time," Sebastian said as he ran his hand through his hair.

"Sir, I have tried but she always ended up escaping. Either she doesn't come or she goes home before the plan. The last time, I had arranged an ambush at the front of my house but they said that someone had come to save her and I even saw them injured. And since then she has been missing." Vivian said still in fear.

"Why should I still spare you?" Sebastian is picking up his claws.

"I will not fail you again. I will bring her here and you will suck the life out of her." Vivian said.

"This is your last chance. I am counting on you to find her and bring her to me." Sebastian said.

"Yes, sir," Vivian said.

"Go now," Sebastian said as he turned back to his seat.

"Thank you, sir," Vivian said as she left the hall.

"Slowly my plan is coming to be," Sebastian said with a loud evil laugh.

*Veronica's POV"

I opened my eyes which were heavy. I felt a slight headache and my neck was very stiff. I raised my head slowly and removed the blanket covering me. I remembered everything that happened yesterday. I am so glad that he is okay, well I am not so sure but I have to believe that he is since I didn't see him in the room.

The door opened slowly and I looked to check who it was. It was Derek, I am so happy to see him standing. I got up from the bed and hugged him from behind as he was closing the door.

"Thank god you are okay," I said with a smile.

He turned around and looked at me. I wondered why he was looking at me. It was with a different look. Like I was extremely confused. it didn't seem like he was happy or sad or angry or irritated. His expression was just blank.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I said

He scoffed first before he replied.
"I am just surprised."

"Oh...that. I am just so happy that you are okay. Because if anything had happened to you, I would have died of guilt." I said as I moved closer to him and put my palm on his forehead.

He looked at me with a kind of, 'What are you doing', facial expression.

"What are you doing?" He asked as he removed my palm from his forehead.

"Stay still---" I said as I put my palm back.
"I am just checking your temperature," I added.

"Your body is cold," I said.

"I told you that vampires are cold-blooded. Do you forget things so quickly?" He said to me with a frown as usual.

"I didn't forget. I will get going now." I said as I held the knob of the door.

"Wait, have you heard your inner self? I mean, have your inner self talked to you." He asked.

I turned around to face him, then I heard it. It replied to the question.

No

I was so confused. Its voice sounded different than mine, less soft and husky. So different from my soft, gentle voice.

I am not an 'it'. My name is Lexis.
It just spoke again.

I told you, it's Lexis.

It said again, oh.. sorry. Lexis said again.

"Are you okay?" He asked me.

"Yeah, fine. Lexis just talked to me." I replied with a smile.

"Who is Lexis?" He asked in a confused tone.

"My inner self... The second personality.... locked up me." I said.

"I get it. I am not as dumb as you are." He spat.

Lexis talked again.

Aren't you going to do anything?
Oh...I forgot. You are weak and afraid of him...Then I will do it myself.

"Yo, she ain't dumb," Lexis said through me. Like she took control of my body.

" Are you Veronica or Lexi?" He asked raising a brow.

" I'm Veronica and Lexis. But it's Lexis talking." Lexis said with her hands around her waist.
Wait. My waist...our waist?

"Uh, just say a name and stop explaining shit. I thought you were smart but you are also dumb." He said as he ran his hand through his hair.

"Excuse me," Lexis said rolling her eyes. "I'm sick of you insulting Veronica and making her sad. I'm so going to kill you... bastard." Lexis said with venom.

This is bad. Why are they fighting? I have to come out.
Um, Lexis. Stop it. Give me full control. Now.

" You are too afraid of Derek," Lexis said rolling her eyes. Again.

"Hey, call my name with respect." He said pointing his index at her... or me... or both of us...

Lexis stop now!!.

"Fine, fine," Lexis said as she gave me full control.

"Derek, very sorry about that. I kinda lost control, so she took over. And she is quite cranky..."

Hey, watch it.

"And she is the opposite of you...like totally." He said still frowning.

" Uh-um" I hummed.

" Well, we will be resting today. But tomorrow we will start training, cause you are weak and have no skill in fighting." He said as his face loosened a bit.

" Great. What time?" I asked in an excited tone.

"Um...eight AM tomorrow." He answered.

" Bye," I said as I reached for the knob and closed the door behind me. As I headed for my room.
