“You care for this girl… don’t you Mr. Griffin? You have never allowed any women in this mansion before and you’ve changed a lot.”
She saw Damien talking to Alexander with his head down which made him look somewhat disappointed. But her heart tingled a little hearing that Alexander treated her special or she thought so, before she went to go back to lie down she froze on the spot listening to the other part of the conversation.
“Damien, you’re more naive than I thought you would be. I thought you knew all along! I’m only keeping her so I can use her, I need her blood.”Alex remarked sinisterly and laughed. “I have women throwing themselves at my feet. She means absolutely nothing to me, she is obviously useless and just a little game to play with when I am bored. As soon as she falls for me…I am going to kill her.”
‘CRASH’
The loud sound of a window breaking made Alexander’s and Damien’s heads turn and look back at each other.
“Shit! She’s running away! Damien go get a warm room ready and also get the car ready and wait for me just before the woods!”, Alex said as he ran for his coat.
“Where are you going?! You’re going to freeze to death out there!”, Damien said following him.
“I’m going after her and she’s also going to freeze to death if I don’t reach her on time. She’s weaker than me! Go get the car ready now!”, Alexander exclaimed running into the woods after her.
Zoey ran and ran for her life with tears streaming down her face that now blurred her eyes.
“ZOEY!”, she heard Alex scream.
She turned her head back for a split second while running to see where he was. Zoey did not see a tree in front of her earlier so when she turned her head forward it was too late and she hit her head on the tree which made her lose consciousness.
Zoey was soon awake and she felt that she was floating on air to come to the realization that she was being carried by two strong arms as she started to move her hands around and felt his chest. It was him! Alexander!
She wriggled around in fear as beads of sweat started to drop on her forehead even though it was freezing cold and he was walking in the snow. She struggled to get out of his grasp because Alexander's grip on her simply got tighter and tighter and tighter. He didn’t want to let go of her, and she knew it. So she gave up fighting and started planning on how to escape him.
She could see Damien waiting outside the car near the road. They were approaching the road, she needed to act quickly. She wrapped her hands gently around the nape of his neck and smiled at him warmly which made him confused, then she hit her head hard against his which made Alex drop her down to hold his head in the palm of his hands.
“AH! What the hell is wrong with you-”, Alex yelled at her before Zoey could bulldoze him to the ground.
Zoey pinned him down and took a ball of snow and hit it on his face and then started to run away. Damien looked at the two of them in amusement as he sipped on the coffee he brought for Alex.
“Oh boy…I can already sense that this is going to take these two a long time to get used to each other’s presence!”, Damien muttered as he went back in the car and started the engine so he could put the heater on.
Two and a half hours later
Alexander carried her over his back like a sack of potatoes as he dragged her back into the house not planning to listen to her and what she has to say. He was officially angry and no one could stop his anger now, he put her down and held her hand so tight that his nails dug into her skin which caused her to whimper in pain.
“A-Alexander….Please let go of me….You’re hurting me!”, Zoey exclaimed as tears formed on either side of her eyes.”P…please let go…”
But he did not pay attention to her nor the amount of pain he was putting her through, he yanked her every time she tried to resist and he took her to the basement where there were prison cells.
Zoey looked around the place in disgust, confusion, and fear, she realized that she had not known what she got herself into this time. Tears started to fill her eyes but she tried her best to hold them back. He took her by the collar of her clothes and threw her inside one of the prison cells and looked at her like how he would have looked if he had looked at his prey.
He stepped closer and closer to her, closing the distance between them until her back hit the wall and he froze.
“Wh…what do you want from me…?”, Zoey asked him as she cowered in fear.
He looked down at the wrist that he had hurt and picked it up to caress it and then licked it. Alexander looked at Zoey’s eyes to see that she was petrified, but he could not help it. He was trying to control his need but he couldn’t anymore.
“I want your blood, Zoey Smith.”, Alexander said in the deadliest tone as he bit her wrist which was bleeding.
Zoey shrieked in fear as tears strolled down her face, she somehow could not feel the pain, but she felt fear. She tried to push him off her but he would not budge, this made her tremble in fear.
“A-Alexander…y-you’re scaring me…”, she said as tears filled her eyes and she trembled in fear.
Alex immediately looked at her and snapped out of his state, trying to comfort her, Zoey pushed him aside and ran away into her room and locked the door. He didn’t try to run after her or break down the door, he knew she needed space and that she was already terrified enough. If he had to go after her, she would be more scared than ever.
Later on that night, Alex walk around the halls and his study room and bedroom, remembering how her blood tasted and how her eyes glowed. It tasted like the sweetest thing on the planet to him, better than any wine of blood he had known of, this was unique.
He remembered his father’s words and how he said in his journal, ‘You will know the taste of the Queen Mary’s blood because it’s in our instinct. I won’t forget the night her eyes glowed bright green, whenever blood is drawn out by one of our kind, especially ones of high status. There is a bond that can not separate the two, when they are bonded, the descendant’s eyes will glow. That is when you know you have found the right one to the throne of your heart and the descendant of the great one and only Queen Mary.’ These were the last words his father could ever write in the journal after he died.
The difference is… that Alexander’s father promised the Queen many things but did not fulfill them, he broke her heart and used her. Alexander wondered where his future would lead him with Zoey Smith, will he also be like his father or would he fall in love with her and fulfill every promise his father lied about and could not fulfill? He was hesitant, he wasn’t ready for this journey.
(She must have got hurt that very first night I met her, maybe that’s way she smelt wonderful, maybe that’s why I was attracted to her-no, I was attracted to her scent.), Alex thought to himself.
“But I’m no different from my father who manipulated and used The Queen Mary… I manipulated this beautiful, innocent lamb.”, Alexander muttered under his breath as he took a seat on his lounge suit and put his head back as he pinched the bridge of his nose.
He then picked up his phone and dialed a number. “Damien…the Queen’s descendant is Zoey Smith.”
Meanwhile
Zoey walked around in her room aimlessly fighting with herself whether this was reality or just all in her mind.
(Wh…what the hell was that…? Did…did I see things? Is he what I think he is…A vampire..?), Zoey thought to herself as she started to chew on her nails.
“Pssh, there’s no way in the world…What if he really is…?”, she asked herself stopping in her tracks and then jumping on the bed as she rolled around. “AM I GOING MAD?!”, she yelled into her pillow.
(He was kinda hot though when he sank his teeth into my wrist…), she thought to herself and then covered her face with a pillow embarassed.
(But that wasn’t it…I felt like there was an awakening in me…like…as if I saw everything different, I could hear every slightest sound for quite a long time, it doesn’t make sense. I felt so energetic and I felt like I had so much strength in me. What is going on with me? Why did I enjoy it…?)
Just then Zoey heard a slight knock on her wooden room doors.
“Zoey…?It’s me, Alexander…I was hoping that we could clear the air between us and talk about this, look…I’m sorry about earlier, that was not my attention to scare you. I … uh… also got some cookies and cream ice cream for you.”, he said hoping for a response as Damien waited in a corner guiding and encouraging him to talk to her a bit more. Alexander wanted to kill him so badly, for starters, he was not the type to apologize so easily, second, he never begged anyone for anything in his life, and third, he was embarrassed as hell!
Zoey jumped for joy quietly when she heard about the ice cream, she then opened the door slowly for him keeping her best poker face on as she started to talk.
“Come in.”
Zoey walked around in her room aimlessly fighting with herself whether this was reality or just all in her mind. (Wh…what the hell was that…? Did…did I see things? Is he what I think he is…A vampire..?), Zoey thought to herself as she started to chew on her nails. “Pssh, there’s no way in the world…What if he is…?”, she asked herself stopping in her tracks and then jumping on the bed as she rolled around. “AM I GOING MAD?!”, she yelled into her pillow. (He was kinda hot though when he sank his teeth into my wrist…), she thought to herself and then covered her face with a pillow embarassed. (But that wasn’t it…I felt like there was an awakening in me…like…as if I saw everything different, I could hear every slightest sound for quite a long time, it doesn’t make sense. I felt so energetic and I felt like I had so much strength in me. What is going on with me? Why did I enjoy it…?) Just then Zoey heard a slight knock on her wooden room doors. “Zoey…?It’s me, Alexander…I was hoping t
“Ah yes! Also, I’m so sorry for intruding on your moment with Alex.”, Sabrina said as she barged herself into Zoey’s room. “O-oh…about that I’m so sorry…I felt like y’all had business to catch up on and that I was intruding.”, Zoey said as she mumbled and fumbled around with her fingers. “Well, I should get going, take care, Zoey.”, she said as she dashed Zoey and walked out of the room. “Take care too, Sabrina…”,Zoey said as she waved to her with a plastered smile till Sabrina was finally out of sight.” Argh…What a swine!”, she said as she rolled her eyes and slammed the door. Zoey knew about these types of people and she hated them to the bone. She called them ‘The Swines’, the one’s who get paranoid and make it seem like they have a certain man who loves the but the man doesn’t and they just make other people’s lives miserable. Zoey read enough books and watched enough movies to know about these people, in her eyes…they were ‘pathetic’. Zoey wasn’t planning on stealing anyone’s
(I can smell cookies….I could hear Zoey’s humming earlier on….or was she just making that for Damien…), Alexander thought to himself, but just then he heard voices outside, all thanks to his good hearing. “What do you want Sabrina?You and I both know why you’re here.”, Zoey said as she held the platter tight to her. “Oh…and what is it?”, Sabrina said walking up to her. “You’re using him for your convenience. I just hope he’s not too dumb to not see your plans, it would be a pity for a handsome face like him to be dumb as hell.”, Zoey said as she showed her the best puppy dog face ever and then walked up to her and whispered in her ear, “And it would be my greatest pleasure to see your downfall.” Zoey left Sabrina speechless, Sabrina didn’t expect anything like this from Zoey. “You should try using some makeup Zoey to cover up your pores.”, she said crossing her arms. “And you should try to use less because you look like a damn ghost, it makes sense why he pushes you away.”, Zoey
“Do you know why he wanted to bring you to the mansion?”, Damien asked “No, why?”, she asked, turning her head to look at him. “He’s trying to protect you.”, he said making the mood serious. “And how? By locking me in that house and trusting his ex-swine over me?”, she asked as she scoffed. “There are people…dangerous people who also know you’re secret.”, Damien said as he held the steering wheel tight making his whites white now. “They know what I do…?”, she asked in concern. “Yes. And that’s why he’s kept you there, your father and friends are safe, but…I think it’s best if you talk to him, he would explain it better.” “I...Please just drive me to the airport.”, she said as she turned her body at an angle facing the window while her head rested on her elbow. They reached the airport. “Well…I guess this is it…?”, Damien asked quietly. “Yeah…I guess so, I enjoyed training with you. Goodbye…”, she said as she gave him a tight hug and he hugged back. She was about to leave whe
“What did you find on her father?”, Alexander asked as he exhaled in distress as he clasped his hands together in a demanding position. (Please…don’t let it be what I think it is…), Alexander thought to himself in fear and worry. “So, her mother, nor her family is anywhere in the picture. The father is a normal person but…”,Damien’s voice trailed off. “What?”, Alex asked as he started to pinch the bridge of his nose. “He is a vampire hunter.” Alex’s body went cold. “I don’t get it, what do you mean?” “The whole lineage of the Griffin’s has been hunted and killed by one specific person. Mr. Smith. If the father is a normal human being, that means that…Zoey’s mother was The Great Queen Mary descendant, and I highly doubt that Zoey knows about this. What should we do?”, Damien asked as he started to hold his hands behind his back. “Leave me be.”, Alex said causing Damien to nod his head and leave the room closing the door. But Alexander was left speechless. (If …the mother was a Q
“Hey dad, I’m going off to work now, don’t forget to eat and take care of yourself.”, she reminded him as she kissed him on his cheek and left the house. “Take care too, sweetheart!”, he said. (I’m happy for her…she looks like she’s getting better now. That’s good.), Zoey’s father thought to himself until he knocked against something by mistake and picked up a bag. “Shit…Zoe….you took the wrong bag…”, he muttered under her breath but it was too late to catch up with her because she was far gone. Just then, he saw something that peeked out of the bag. A picture. Leo dropped her bag in shock to see who it was, he even had to double-check his eyes. His jaw ticked. He went down to the basement and stayed there for the rest of the day. Later that evening “Hey dad, I’m home!”, she exclaimed as she sang a sweet lullaby. Leo, her father just sat in the dining room with his arms folded until she poked him to check if he was okay, he got up and went to his room. (Huh…why did he flinch as
‘GASP’ She made a loud sound as she saw wolves inside the cottage which made her clasp her hands over her mouth quickly. Her body involuntary moved backward, it was like they didn’t even see Alex’s body, which she thought was good but also scary because they were after one person. Her. Just then, one of the wolves jumped on her but was soon pulled and thrown against the wall by Alex. The other wolves trembled back in fear as they saw Alex take the wolf by its neck and just before he could kill it, he felt a hand pull him back. It was Zoey, she shook her head no, but Alex growled at her but she stood her ground as she then tightened her grip on his arm. “No, Alex.”, she warned him but with a warm and soothing voice. He let go of the wolf and immediately all the wolves ran away. “Did you get hurt-”, they both asked in unison. Just then she laughed as she wrapped her arms around him tightly and hugged him as tight as possible as she teared up, he started to coo to her and hug her bac
‘BOOM’ A loud sound went off as fire went off in the warehouse and the force of the fire made her fall flat. “No no no no no….NO!”, she yelled from the top of her lungs as tears rolled down her face and one hand on her bruised ribs with the other covering her mouth in shock. “I am not done with you yet Zoey.” She felt herself being held in a choke-lock, she knew who it was. Arthur. Zoey tried to pull him off her but she continue to fail, just before Arthur could stab her using the medallion, she bit on his arm and stomped on his foot, then she hit his head with the back of hers causing him to let go of her. Zoey tumbled out of his arms and fell to the floor she gasped for air and put her hands around her neck gently. She knew she wouldn’t make it out alive, especially in a fight with a vampire, and Arthur above all. So she ran into the woods and brushed herself against the trees that had dew drops of water that started to fall on her skin as she moved against them and she ran ove
