"it's okay Theodore, stop apologizing, what's wrong? Did I do or say anything wrong?","no, you did nothing wrong","then, what is the problem?". Theodore looked at her and wondered what he was going to tell her. Somehow, he knew he could trust her with the truth."Theodore, you can talk to me about anything. I promise you that whatever you tell me will not leave this room", Elena assured him.Theodore took a deep breath before talking, "I didn't actually come to the brothel because I was drunk, I came to find out if I was attracted to women","why did you feel the need to check if you were attracted to women?","I did some sexual stuff with a man and

He groaned inwardly, what did Fife want now? "tell him to come back later, I am busy", he ordered. He heard the footsteps of the servant which indicated that he was going.Some few minutes later, the servant came back. "Lord Fife has refused to leave, my lord. He has said he would stay till whenever you are free", Alistair wondered for the umpteenth time since he had met Fife, why he had to be so stubborn."what should I do my lord?", the servant enquired from outside the room."tell him to come upstairs to my room","yes my lord", the servant left.Soon, he heard a knock on the door."who is there","its me, your highness",Fife replied in a sarcastic sugary

"Okay, everyone let's just calm down", Fife tried to calm everyone down. "calm down? How are we supposed to calm down? He just murdered her", Elena screeched. "She isn't dead", "how can you be so sure?"Fife bent down to check her pulse, "she is still alive". He drew out a handkerchief from his pocket. "here, wipe your mouth with it", he handed it to Alistair. Alistair retracted his fangs and wiped his mouth with it, he stared at Theodore, he wanted to see Theodore's reaction.
