The Single Blood Rose [Book 1] (Finished)

Hatred Starts to Set in - Chapter 4

Rikki opens her eyes slowly and starts to look around the room sleepily.

She starts to feel a rush of cold chilling air on her bare back.

She struggles up and puts her hand to her head. She looks down to see where she is sitting and she notices she is sitting in a bed, completely naked.

A weird smell flies up into her nostrils and her eyes start to narrow and a small smile sweeps across her face.

She shakes her head, while pulling her hair trying to forget those thoughts.

She looks down to her chest and notices dry blood. She licks her lips and gets a metal taste in her mouth.

She lifts up her hand and puts it to the side of her mouth and starts to feel the dry crispy blood.

What happened last night...?

She couldn't remember anything that happened, so that question circled her mind like a bunch of vultures circling prey.

Did I? ... No! It's not true!! It can't be!!

Her eyes start watering. "No! No!!!" She yells.

She jumps off of the bed, slipping on the wooden floor. She quickly struggles up and frantically looks for her clothes.

As she searches for her clothes, all she could really find was her bra, underwear and a thin black robe.

She quickly puts on the clothes and rushes out the door.

Rikki rushes down a long corridor. She starts to figure she is back at Cyrus's lair but doesn't want to compute it.

Rikki turns around a corner and runs into her sister, Riley.

Rikki backs up and looks at Riley.

Riley stares back at Rikki with an evil glare.

"You had sex with him, didn't you?" Riley says, trying to control her temper.

Rikki opens her mouth and tries to speak. But she couldn't find the words.

"Didn't you!?" Riley says with her voice rising.

"Not on my intention!!"

"Then what?" Riley laughs. "He raped you?"

"No! Well, maybe. I don't know!" Rikki says, confused.

"How could you not possibly not know? You either wanted it or you didn't!"

Rikki takes a breath. "I never wanted to have sex with him! I never did! But, I don't know. Something came over me! His voice got into my head and everything! I don't know what happened!!"

Riley leans up against the wall and stares at Rikki, barley even blinking. "So, you just magically just got that attached to him?"

"Why are you getting so mad that I had sex with him?! I didn't want to! Believe me!"

"Right..." Riley glares. "But he wanted to have sex with you."

"Wait." A light bulb pops into Rikki's head and she finally gets it. "You want him, you've always had since you met him."

"As if it wasn't obvious." Riley mutters under her breath.

"Riley, how could you love someone like him!?"

"How could you not? He is the guy I've dreamed of for years..." Riley smiles happily.

"Someone who drinks blood and commits murder? Great choice of a guy Riley!"
