Sabrina, never abused her strength. Always the caring and respectful but child has a mouth on her. From a young age and my father can’t seem figure out where she got that foul mouth from.
“So, I’m going to ask you the one question everyone here is dying to ask you. How did you do it?” The kings sister asks me.
“Wait a minute. I don’t even know your name.” I say and she smiles, her fangs showing.
“I’m Cherisse and you my dear are now the new queen to my brother, Cayden.” Cherisse tells me.
“Well Cherisse, my name is Josey and I’m a werewolf.” I say as we walk but Cherisse stops in her tracks, making me stop as well.
“You mean you’re a dog? How can I not smell it on you?” Cherisse says to me with the world’s disgust on her face.
“You drink blood for a living and you’re going to look at me like that?” I ask her. She closes her eyes and opens them again.
Her face a little relaxed but her body was tense.
“I was born a wolf and unlike you, It wasn’t just decided on some day that I’d be a dog. I’m a proud dog by the way. This dog used her dog strength and dog claws to decapitate your blood drinking queen. The dog way.” I say annoyed.
“Look I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to offend you. We are just enemies in the outside world. So my reaction stems from years fighting your kind.” Cherisse says to me and I shake my head no.
“It does not excuse the behavior. I’m a vampire too so I’m not exactly the enemy now, am I?” I ask looking straight into her eyes.
“No.” She says looking down and I take that as my chance to walk away from the king’s sister.
I walk around in circles looking for Thomas’s room but I was failing, dismally. I bump into a human slave.
“Hey! You are human.” I say and she nods her head shyly at me.
“Can you please show me to Thomas’s room? I’m lost.” I ask and her eyes bulge out.
“Is something wrong?” I ask and she shakes her head no, fear evident in her eyes.
“I’m not going to hurt you. I just need your help getting to that’s Wordsworth’s room, do you think you can show me?” I ask again and she nods her head yes.
She starts walking and I follow behind her. She was visibly shaking, underfed and definitely going through some trauma.
These vampires were truly the monsters of the earth. I wish they had a heavenly realm so Sabrina could have a chat with their god. They were abusive and cruel.
We stop at a door and she starts to walk away. I gently grab her hand.
“Where can I get some food around here?” I ask her.
“I can speak?” She asks and I nod my head yes. Her voice sounded so groggy as if she hasn’t used it in a long time.
Poor thing.
“We don’t keep food in the castle as the king said the smell disgusts him so we have to walk a few minutes to our hostels to eat but there’s human territory thirty minutes from here, where there’s all sorts of restaurants.” She says and her eyes get glassy when she tells me about the human town.
“Okay then. Let me change in to something less bloody and we can both go. Actually, come in and wash up. I’ll borrow you something to wear.” I say but she shakes her head no.
This girl clearly doesn’t know me. I open the door, dragging her in. Thomas wasn’t in his room, which was great.
I lead her to the bathroom and throw her a towel. I run the shower then search the bathroom for an extra toothbrush, finding one that was still in it’s packaging. Imagine one that was already used by a blood sucking devil.
I hand it to her.
“Clean up and that’s an order.” I say before walking out and closing the door. The girl showers for less than ten minutes and she walked out.
“Now I see what you look like. You are actually very beautiful. Here wear this.” I say handing her a pair of Jean’s with a basic long sleeve cotton shirt.
Okay, by basic I mean an Armani cotton shirt.
I leave her to it as I quickly go shower. I walk out, a white towel wrapped around my body to find Thomas with his hands wrapped around a very scared human girl.
“Unless you want to feel my wrath, you will let her go. I’d say apologize for your terrible manners but I know I’d be asking for too much.” I say to Thomas.
He let’s the girl go, the poor girl dropping to the floor trying to catch her breath.
I wrap my hands around Thomas, and I tighten my grip.
“I’m aware we are in your room but if you ever put your hands on that girl again, I’ll make you pay and I’m not my sister. I kill on the spot, no mercy.” I say before throwing him across the room.
He lands on his feet and chuckles.
“First of all, yes! This is my room so imagine my surprise finding a servant in regular clothing standing in my room. Secondly, I don’t like threats.” Thomas says to me.
I help the girl up, mouthing I’m sorry to her.
“That was no threat. It’s a promise.” I say. I get dressed right in front of Thomas and the human girl.
I am a wolf, nakedness is something we get used to overtime.
I also wear denim jeans and a basic shirt. A cotton shirt with cartoon drawing.
I put on my sneakers then pick out two very thick coats and two cardigans. I take the girl’s hand, leading her out of the room.
“You know, we don’t befriend our food.” Thomas shouts out and I chuckle.
“I guess I’ll just go hungry then.” I say as I close the door behind me.
The girl stands next to me, clearly shaken from Thomas’s attack.
“I’m so sorry that happened. I shouldn’t have left you alone but I get my own room soon so that won’t happen again. Now, do you think we will get something to eat at this hour?” I ask looking at my phone and it was past midnight.
“We can go to my mother’s house.” She says and I smile.
“Home cooked food? Yes please.” I say excitedly as she leads us out of the castle.
“It’s a little far. I don’t think we can walk the distance and not with the snow.” She says to me and I smile.
“What’s your name?” I ask the girl.
“I’m no one.” She says looking down but I place my index finger on her chin, to raise her head.
“What name did your mother give you?” I ask again.
“Kimberley.” She says in a whisper but I heard her.
“My sister’s name is also Kimberley! This is amazing. Okay, Kim, do you trust me?” I say and she just stares at me.
“Okay, scratch that. Do you believe me when I say I won’t hurt you?” I say and she nods her head yes.
I slowly take off my clothes, trying not to scare her but my actions were clearly making her nervous. Once I was naked, I give her my clothes to hold on to and I get on all fours.
Kim puts my jacket on, tying my cardigan and jeans around her waist and my shirt on her arm. She ties my shoe laces together and hangs them around her neck.
Smart girl.
