I curled to my side as I pulled the blanket closer to . Was I on the bed? I opened my eyes to see lamps burning at each corner of the room. The last thing I rembered was sitting on the couch after I t Luke’s relative. I got up and looked around the room wondering where I was because it definitely didn’t look like Luke’s room.
I then rembered talking to Luke before my eyes drooped. He was the one who carried here but where was he? I guess we were still in the mansion. Stepping down from the bed, I walked inside the room looking through photo fras on the wall. I couldn’t see the pictures that clear as only little light coming from the lamps. There were pictures of Charlie and his family. There were Simon and the girl nad Cassie I t during the dinner too with others. One photo fra caught my eyes when I saw a younger looking Luke with Charlie, who was smiling with mischief in his eyes. For so odd reason, it made smile, to know Luke had such a big family. I missed mine. He had promised we would go visit the human dinsion and I was eager to go. There were people who I missed and hadn’t seen since a while.
I felt my throat dry and wanted to drink so water. Looking around I found a bottle on the stand and gulped it. It didn’t taste like water so I slled it. It felt like a pulpy juice on my tongue and it was sweet, taking few more sips I placed the bottle back. Finding the closed door, I opened it. Peeping my head out I saw it was a long corridor and there was no one in sight. Getting out of the room I walked through the corridors. I hadn’t carried my phone and now I wished I did.
"You seem lost," I heard soone speak behind making turn to see who it was. There was a blonde man standing in an expensive looking suite.
"Ah-could you help with the directions to the main hall," I asked him and saw him nod.
"Sure, follow ," he walked past and I walked behind him. The corridor had dim lights like a Gothic manor which felt spooky, after few seconds he spoke to , "How did you end up on this floor? Only families are allowed here unless you are soone’s slave."
"I ca with Lucian Knight," I replied wondering when we would reach the main hall.
"Lucian’s slave," he murmured and before I could clarify anything he went on, "So like him but I thought he stopped with slaves a few years back. Guess old habits die hard after all or you must have one heck of a quality blood if he picked you. It would be such a sha if I didn’t taste you."
"What?" I asked for processing his words. I felt a little hazy as I heard it.
With that said he stopped walking and turned to face . I could see his sharp incisors teeth in full view as he smiled, licking his teeth as though I was a al. I took a step back as he approached . I turned and ran hot on my heels.
"I love it when the person runs, it’s more exciting. Let’s see if I can catch you," I heard him chuckle darkly behind like a physcho. Picking the first room that fell on my eyes, I pushed it. Once I was in, I locked the doors, "Locking the door is of no use," he laughed and I walking away from the door. I was feeling faintly drowsy and my legs weak.
What did I drink??
"You’re going against the vampire law!" I yelled at the door and saw the door handle move. Turning back I saw huge windows adorning the high walls. Sliding the window open, I looked down to see which floor I was in and I was on the fifth floor.
The door opened with a loud bang making snap my neck towards the vampire, "There are two types of people in a world, one who follows the rule and the other who breaks it. I co in the second category," he said baring his teeth at and I gulped.
I was standing at the edge of the window now and when I looked down, I was surprised to see Luke standing near a tree talking to Charlie about sothing, with his eyebrows furrowed. I felt so relieved to see him at that mont.
"Planning to jump from a fifth floor is foolishness, dear. Co here girl," the vampire said coming towards and I took a deep breath.
"Luke!" I yelled loud enough for him to hear and he turned to look at with narrowed eyes. I turned towards the vampire and spoke to the vampire, "I hope you starve," stretching my arms wide and before he could reach I let myself fall backward.
I felt Luke’s arm around my body carrying once I crossed the first floor, "Practicing gymnastics for school?" he asked and I shook my head.
"Crazy vampire," I replied in a shaky voice and saw his green eyes flicker. When we saw the window I had jumped from the person wasn’t there anymore."Can we go ho, please? I feel cold," I whispered as a shiver ran through my body because of the wind. He held close to him,
"Charlie, we’ll be taking our leave for the night and can you see who the crazy vampire is who wanted my fiancé’s blood," Luke said to Charlie, "And wasn’t it made clear that no vampire would take blood from a human without the person’s consent?" he asked.
"I didn’t know soone was going to pull a stunt as such," Charlie said walking over to where we were, "I’ll look into it."
Luke carried all the way to the car while my hands were clutching his black coat tightly and he switched on the heater once we got inside the car. When we reached the mansion he opened the door for to only trip again clumsily.
"You seem clumsier than normal. Did you drink sothing?" he asked as he swept off my feet to carry again and walked inside.
"There was sothing on the nightstand and I was thirsty so I drank it. It was sweet and pulpy," I replied, "Why?"
"Darling, the sweet pulpy thing you drank was alcohol called winter. A human would never realize if it was alcohol or just a normal fruit drink as it’s made by vampires. Charlie must have served the drink to one of his guests due to which it was there in his room," Luke explained while I humd, my head resting on his chest.
"Winter is a nice na," I murmured.
