ODETTE’S POV:
Did my mom and dad do this kind of paperwork? I’ve never sat in a court session before, also never plan to rule over a legion of vampires either.
Reading these endless requests was exhausting. Between corruption and greed and n being disgusting. A pig in wolf’s clothes. I lost track of ti and must have fallen asleep at so point because when I woke up again, it was dawn. The sun was rising.
Looking around I realized I was in Ambrose’s room, but I was alone, he was nowhere to be seen. I could feel the warmth fading from where he once laid.
I sighed, I shouldn’t want his warmth back, but I did. I couldn’t stop myself for wanting it. I know this is going to bite in the ass.
I get up, wash my face and head down to breakfast in the servant’s kitchen. When I walked out Hector was standing as usual by the door.
"Do you ever sleep?" I asked seriously as well as sarcastically.
"Yeah, but not as much as you. Two days you slept after Ezra’s rciless execution.
I still wasn’t quite settled with the fact I actually killed soone. But at least it was a scum bag only soone’s pocket would miss.
"Rember my badassary." I looked over winking at him.
"There’s no way I could ever forget what I saw. It was fucking intense." He retorted.
"I heard, I don’t really rember anything passed flipping in the air kicking his ass." I confessed.
"Is that really true? Man, that sucks. I’ve never seen soone’s eyes turn white, I heard seer’s do when they talk to the gods." Hector ntions.
"Ha, maybe I’m a god, trapped in skin?" I laughed at my own joke.
"If you’re a god, I’ll kiss your feet." He joked back.
"Shake on it." I stopped and extended my hand with an all too serious look.
He held in a laugh but took my hand and shook it.
"I’m going to hold you to it." I said firmly.
"I’m a man of my word, princess."
We both looked at each other and laughed hard.
We continued walking in a comfortable silence.
I could hear the chatter outside the room, but when I walked in, the chatter ceased and everyone stopped what they were doing and looked dead at , so in awe, so in fear and so with disgust.
"Hey guys, no need to stop on my account." I say putting my hands up in surrender. What did so of them think I’d kill them or sothing?
"That was so fighting you did. I totally underestimated you." Ariel the blue haired girl said.
I bet you did. Just like everyone else.
Well except him... Ambrose...
Rose the red-haired girl looked at shyly, with a gleam in her eye that made feel warm inside. "Thanks."
I raised an eyebrow and looked at her puzzled "For what?" the blonde Jenna I think, pulled a seat out, inviting to sit next to her.
I happily obliged, maybe these people were starting to hate less. I still can’t believe I’m making an attempt at being anyone’s friend, it’s so weird for .
"For what you did to Ezra." She said even quieter.
I was stunned, soone thanked for ending soone’s life?
"Did you just thank ?" I asked, there’s no way I heard that right.
Rose nodded "Yes"
Shit, I guess I did.
"You’re thanking ?" I ask one more ti clarifying I am hearing her right.
She bit her lip and nodded.
There’s only one reason girl would be grateful so guy she works with dead.
"That fucking bastard." I growled loudly.
I looked at her and said proudly "Happy to be of service."
Ariel laughed "He was such a piece of shit. Let’s be honest with each other, the world is far better off with him out of it. You did a favor for all won kind."
"I couldn’t agree more." Hector joined him.
I smiled at Hector; he knew the whole story.
"You looked like heaven itself basked in your glory." Emalea added.
"I wouldn’t go that far..." Tersea scoffed.
"Well, I an, I probably did better than you could have." I snickered knowing damn well if she had any real combat skill, she would be just a maid.
"Ha! You’re nothing without your abilities. I could take you down easily." She was instigating .
I smirked at her, "Wanna give it a go? You think you can beat , well, let’s see it then." I egged her on.
She narrowed her eyes and growled, I could tell she wasn’t expecting that.
"I don’t have ti today maybe another day." She bit down hard, she was clearly not used to being forced to conceded, publicly.
Score 1: 0: Tersea.
"Sure, sure. Whatever you say." I shrugged leaning back in my chair.
She shoved her chair back and stord out of the room, like a toddler being denied Halloween candy.
Once she slamd the door, the whole room erupted into laughter.
"She’s such a bitch." Ariel declares.
"I’d never say it out loud, but I agree." Rose admits.
I finish eating a piece of buttered toast and an apple. The bruising on my wrist was easing up now, it was sure taking a while.
As I was getting up from the table, Ambrose burst through the door. his face dark, his eyes glowing fiercely. His rage boiling over, he radiated a murderous aura that made shiver.
I went to ask what was wrong but before I could my mouth, he ripped up by my hair.
"You stupid daughter of a whore." He growled, dragging from the kitchen.
Every looked shocked. We went from having a good ti to being yanked from the room.
"Ow, Ambrose, ow. What the hell." I winced, my scalped stung from his harsh violent jerking.
"I can walk; you don’t have to drag ." I yelled, holding the hair he had clenched in his fist.
"I don’t give a damn. Your whole family is a fucking monster. You disgust ."
His words slamd into my chest. My heart felt cracked and ached. Tears tried to fight their way to the surface, but I’d be damned if I let this son of a bitch see them. He didn’t deserve them.
When we got in his room he jerked hard, again. But this ti I yanked back and punched him in the face. "I said let go."
I didn’t care that I hit him. Or that the fury inside him was overflowing. I didn’t care; I wouldn’t let him hurt without a fight. He needed a reminder that I’m not so docile girl willing to serve her master’s every whim. I’m a fucking princess, the blood in my veins was purer than any night citizen’s blood.
"You stupid whore!" He yelled ripping up by my hair again, throwing against the wall.
A whimper of pain escaped from the impact. When I tried to get up. He grabbed by by my throat.
What the hell happened; we went from sleeping next to each other to us beating the shit out of each other.
When he charged again, I rolled out of his reach moving as fast as I could, but he was fast. Kicking hard, I flew sideways into one of his pillars. My breath was shoved out of from the force of his kick. I could feel it, he cracked a few ribs. I coughed roughly from having the wind knocked out of .
"Why are you doing this?" I yelled at him. The pain was crippling. I didn’t have fast enough healing abilities.
"You want to know why I’m so angry?" He scread approaching .
I started to scoot backwards holding my ribs, it was agony every ti I moved.
"Your mother leveled an entire village of wolves." He was shaking with rage his eyes still a bright blinding gold "Even the fucking children, Odette, she killed children."
I couldn’t hold it in I bust out in hysterical laughter.
He rushed to and slapped silent.
I furrowed my brows. Whoever told him my mother did any killing is lying sack of shit or an idiot, he must be talking about my mammy, they look near identical. But mammy has black dragon horns protruding out of her head. She’s also absolutely capable of leveling a town, she turns into a freaking fire breathing dragon for shit’s sake.
"My mother is literally the absolute most harmless person the entire world. She’s practically a capybara. Whoever told you it was my mother, even missed the dragon horns or is lying to you." I sputtered; the pain made my breathing staggered. And my mouth tasted like I swallowed a handful of pennies.
The audacity of him to accuse my mother of being the kind of savage to murder children in cold blood.
"No there was a black dragon, so no it wasn’t your wicked great-grandmother, it was your mother." He snapped.
I couldn’t help it, but I laughed again, this ti even louder. None of it was funny, it was just ridiculous and impossible, my mom wouldn’t even kill a spider, she’d catch it and free it.
But I guess that was the last straw for him. Because he ripped up by my throat and squeezed. I couldn’t breathe. I clawed and ripped at his skin, kicking and thrashing in his grip. But he remained completely unfazed by my attacks.
Stars started to dance in my vision, darkness circled my sight. The black tunnel getting smaller and the light was getting further away.
Was this how I was going to die? Being choked to death?
