ILL-FATED JOURNEY™

Chapter 10

Vlad had never seen something so funny. She looked like a little pirate! She stood prepared to fight

him it seemed, but Vlad could barely hold himself upright he was laughing so hard. He slapped the

wall in his mirth and she watched him like he was a madman.

She looked so adorable in his clothes! He should take the fact that she had a poker and two knives

seriously, but he just couldnt. He held his stomach and laughed till he cried tears of joy.

Stop laughing! She hissed at him but held up his hand as he tried to subdue his laughter. He couldnt

remember when he last laughed so much. His body felt like it was in pain from laughing.

Youre not touching me, ever again. She said menacingly and still he laughed She grew tired of his

antics and screeched charging at him with the poker. She swung it widely in the general direction of

his head and a thought occurred that maybe trying to kill him to protect her precious virginity, but it

wasnt that thought that sobered him up. It was the fact that given the way she had kissed him in the

ballroom he knew if he wanted it, he wouldnt need force.

He wrestled the poker from her and she pulled out the knives. He couldnt resist saying, Youre

holding them wrong.

She paused to looked down at her hands and he just rolled his eyes. How could she be so stupid? He

quickly knocked the knives away while she was distracted. Maybe I should teach you when you come

She whimpered biting her those full lips of hers that drove him crazy. Her eyes search the room for

another weapon and finding none near at hand, she used what she had, herself. She ran herself into

him like a battering ram. It did him no damage and drew another smile from his lips until she collapse

to the floor and came up with a knife. He braced for another sloppy attack, but none came instead

she turn the knife to face her stomach. He stopped smiling.

What the hell are you doing? He groaned.

You lied! She accused. Youre gonna use me like those men did the Latina! I wont let you!

I did not lie! Vlad corrected. You assume! Put the knife down Azura!

Then why am I in this room?

Where else will the bride be? There are guests staying here for the next three days. Youll have to

sleep herewell not here, heretheres a connecting room. He pointed to the door I didnt see open.

The door I was now noticing. He walked over and calmly pushed it open. It wasnt even locked.

Heh, heh I chuckled uneasily feeling like a fool.

Im tired Vlad stated pinching the bridge of his nose. This has been a strange and somewhat

entertaining night. Go to sleep Azura.

Goodnight. I told him uneasily as I skirted past him then slipped into the connecting room.

Once I was inside, I slammed the door shut and locked the door. I breathed a little easier as I glanced

around my new surroundings. This room was lilac and white with silver accent pieces, it was definitely
