"I thought you said Lincoln doesn't have witches to control anymore?" I look over at Annabel.
"Look I didn't know either okay! I thought my people was free but apparently we are still slaves." She growled.
"This is a big problem." I began to drive in reverse out of the house.
"Yes this is a big fucking problem." She cused looking like she wants to hit me for it.
I began to drive as she told me directions to head for. As I was about to hit the gas Dominic appeared infront of the car causing me to slam the break.
"What the hell Dominic?" I shot him an annoyed look.
"What are you girls doing?" He smirk not moving an inch infront of the car.
"Getting our nails done." Annabel bark sarcastically.
"Well too bad I was going to help you look for my father's witches but if you two ladies would rather spend time in the salon gossiping by all means you go right ahead." He teased sarcasm leaking in his voice.
"How do you know we were looking for your father's witches?" Annabel asked.
"You are not as clever as you think blocking me out to read your mind." He told Annabel.
He walked towards the car hopping inside ignoring my glare not wanting him to come along with us.
"Impossible! My spell does not do that." She defended.
I roll my eyes and began to drive leaving them to fight over it.
"Okay fine Kat kind of told me." Dominic shrugged.
"I knew it." Annabel turned back around.
"Since you know where they are then tell us the directions." I look over at him in the rear view mirror.
"Just keep driving and I'll tell you when to stop." He ordered.
"Why can't you just tell me where to go?" Irritation clear on my face making him grin seeing it.
"Why can't you just follow as I say?"
"Why won't you just tell me?"
"Why do you have to have control over everything?"
"I do not." I growled.
"You so do," He chuckled finding it amusing.
"Is this a lover's quarrel?" Annabel grinned wildly on her chair staring at us.
I glared over at her silently killing her in my mind Dominic laughed making me shut my mouth for now on. Great two idiots in one car this is going to be a long day. I let the children talk amoung themselves as I drive a long two hours and he finally told me to stop.
In the distance I can see a werehouse with vampires on gaurd at every corner. Security cameras are high up on the fence making me curse silently.
"What's the plan now?" I asked.
"I'm not really in the mood for killing all these vampires." Annabel sighed tiredly.
"There's too many." I shook my head trying to count the vampires on sight.
"We don't have to kill." Dominic hop out.
"Why didn't we bring Kat along again?" Annabel asked.
"She has a date with Bret okay."
"The bartender boy?" Dominic grin and I knew that look he's going to keep that in mind to tease her later.
"Yeah." I noded.
We follow Dominic around the back of the werehouse where there is only a few vampires and non of them is looking our way. They are in a little circle smoking. We took a step towards the grey door but the door quickly opened in quick motion we backed away to the nearest wall hiding ourselves. Dominic peek past the wall to see who it was.
"What now?" I hissed.
He held his hand up for me to shut me up, my mouth fell open annoyed at his gesture. I nudge pass him to see what he is looking at. I scowl as my eyes landed on a tall blonde girl with full pink lips wearing a short tennis skirt and cashmere crop top with as much clevege as possible. Her high cheek bones and perfectly arch eyebrows give her that fierce look. She's gorgeous.
"Okay the plan is Annabel will create a scene to distract everyone from the entrance and Dominic and I will-
Dominic push past me revealing himself to the beautiful girl leaving me in mid sentence with my mouth open like an idiot. I straighten up and fold my arms annoyed watching their exchange. I watch as she laugh and hugged him tightly longer then I feel comfortable with. Hell, this girl better get her hands off him now before I rip it off her body.
"Dominic you came back I miss you so much." Even her voice is sexy.
I clenched my jaw ignoring this anger in me for a moment. I can feel Annabel peeking past my shoulder seeing what is happening.
"With you clenching your jaw like that you might break it." She laughed at me.
I shove her back to her corner with my elbow rolling my eyes never leaving my eyes off them. He began to whisper things to her making her lean towards him. His hands went around her waist making my chest tighten.
"What the hell is taking so long?" Annabel whine like a kid.
My eyes widen as I watch their lips lock together holding each other tightly the way he held me.
That is it!
In a flash I stood infront of them ripping her away from his arms and locking my hand on either side of her face snaping it around hearing the snap of her bones. Her limp body fell roughly on the ground making me satisfied.
My eyes narrow at the person infront of me looking at me sheepishly.
"We don't have time for this" I growled facing away from him to break the door lock.
"I was trying to be the distraction just like what you said."
"That wasn't part of the plan." I half yelled.
Seeing another girl planting her stupid lips on him made my blood boil and something in me snap.
"Why are you so mad about it? The plan worked." He shrugged.
I open the door glaring at him seeing him amused at this situation. I don't even care about about 80 or more vampires are around her I will yell at him for finding all this entertaining.
"I am not mad." I hissed.
"You kind of are." Annabel smirk walking pass us.
"Can you two both shut up and let's get this over with." I almost yelled loudly but instead clenched my jaw from preventing from screaming.
"See what you did, you made her mad." Annabel frown.
Then I began to wish all 80 vampires come rushing towards us so I can break a few necks to get this anger out of my system. I left them behind trying to find these witches. This place is no warehouse at all, it's a house. A massive dark house with a lot of doors. My eyes landed on a motion camera moving back and forward scanning the area. The camera is heading towards us and I'm trying to think of a way dodging it. A hand shot towards my wrist pulling me to the side inside a room locking the door. My guard coming up instant.
My eyes landed on a little girl with short brown hair and big blue eyes that nervously looks up at me.
"I haven't see you here." She said in a small voice.
As I caught her scent I am sure she is not a vampire so she could only be one thing.
"I came here to get you all out of here." I kneel infront of her. "What's your name?"
"Andrea." She hug her little doll that is ripped and dirty on her side.
"Andrea," I smiled at her softly. "My friends and I are here to help you all, do you want to get out of here?"
"No we will get in trouble." She shook her head stepping away from me.
"I promise you we won't, I just want you all to be safe Andrea, I won't let anything happen to all of you." I try to ease her worry.
"When I tried to get away they ripped Deliah's head." She stare at her ruin doll that she is clinging to.
"I will protect you both, I will. Can I be your new friend Andrea? Can you be brave for me the way you have been all this time?"
She nodded looking unsure and nervous. I smiled softly at her hearing Dominic and Annabel against the door.
"Can you show me where your other friends are so we could all get out of here?" I stood back up.
"Okay." She took hold of my hand unlocking the door revealing Annabel and Dominic on the other side.
Their eyes widen seeing the little girl with me, they followed close behind making sure vampires aren't around to catch us. Andrea walked along the long hallway to the door at the end. This could either go well or go down the shit hole and this girl is leading me to a trap. I opened the door and nodded at the two of them to be alert.
I open the door my eyes widen seeing just one little boy in the corner with hand cuff on his wrist. His skin so pale, he opened one eye his other eye is too swollen from a black eye that someone gave him. He looks about 10 years old but he is too small for his age just like this little girl holding my hand. The three of us were shock to find him like this.
Annabel rush towards him taking off the cuffs that is restricting him.
"Is this all of you?" I asked shocked at the condition they are in.
"Yes he's my twin brother."
This is Lincoln's witches, two innocent kids he had locked up, two innocent kids he snatched away from their parents.
"I am going to kill him." Annabel hissed anger in her eyes feeling an emotional connection to this making my heart warm for her.
"You knew about this?" I turn to Dominic I can feel my eyes blazing with anger. "That your father locked up these kids here like a weapon?"
"No!" He looks at me offended. "Of course not, I knew my father had witches around some where I didn't know it was kids."
"Are we going to get caught? I don't want to get in trouble."
These two kids have Lincoln using a lot of his money to keep them here. It makes me wonder how powerful they are. What has Lincoln done to them.
I grab her waist and lift her up putting her on my waist. I stared at her dull eyes that have seen too much too soon.
"We're not I promise you Andrea." I vowed.
Dominic lift the boy up from the bed who can barely lift his own head. He whimpered when Dominic touched him. We walked out of the room trying to find an easy way out.
"Hey!" A loud boom of a voice earning a frighten gasp from Andrea.
A guard stood with guns his eyes widening seeing us. His hand twitch to his radio ready to alert the whole vampires.
I notice the knife on Annabel's belt and I didn't think twice by taking it and throwing directly on his face. The crack of the skull as the knife pierce through making him fall to the ground silently.
"Back this way." Dominic lead the way running towards the door.
We push the door open the light blinding us slightly the hot sun touching our skin. We saw no vampires in sight but the camera is staring right at us and that's when the alarm went off. We don't have a choice to run and fight our way out.
I can feel Andrea clinging onto me her face buried on my neck. Up ahead vampires stood with weapons by hand. We froze seeing them block our exit. I put Andrea down standing behind her.
"Don't let them take us." Andrea cried.
I focus on the guy pointing his gun at us ready to shoot. I run towards him as fast as I could grabbing hold of the gun snatching it off his grip and pointing it under his chin and pulled the trigger. Dominic is right be my side snapping their necks before they could fire a shot on my back. More vampires came out with more weapons.
We rush back to them standing infront of them protectively. The little boy began to sob his hand covering his ears while Annabel try to clam him down.
"I'm going to get put in the box again. No, no, no." He spoke his voice cracking.
His small frame began to shake, his eyes shut tightly as he began saying he doesn't want to be back there. Before I could do anything a hot pain shot across my brain causing me to gasp clenching to my head. I screamed but it wasn't only me that began screaming. Dominic and all vampires around drop to their knees with their hands on their head.
I hissed in pain feeling my brain melting, I can feel blood tickling down my nose. I look up with all my strength seeing Dominic's eyes and nose bleeding.
"Stop it Liam you are hurting our friends." Andrea cried running up to his brother peeling his hand over his ears.
Then she began to sing a song that I never heard of, she began to whisper the words on his ears soothing his fears. I think I just witness how powerful these two are and now I get why Lincoln hid them away. The pain began to ease and the blood stop coming down and I took this distraction as an advantage. I ran and scoop them up in my arms, I can feel Dominic on my heel grabbing hold of Andrea. We ran for it Annabel on our side and most vampires still recovering from the attack.
We rush out and hop inside our car and drove out of sight.
~~//~~//~~
"You'll be fine here." I promise holding Andrea's hand.
We took Liam and Andrea to Annabel's grandmother when we asked where their parents are they gave me this pained look and I knew they had no where to go. I asked about any family member and they just shook their heads making my chest tightened. No family, no one to look for them. Annabel said her grandmother will take care of them. She already cooked cookies and cake with a warm cup of coco with it.
"You're leaving?" She looks at me sadly.
"Yes but I will come by and see how you both are doing soon okay?" I smiled.
She nodded and run into my arms for a hug, I squeeze her lightly patting her back. I look over at Liam who is already sleeping worn out from the journey here. I stood up waving one last goodbye. Annabel and her grandmother just finish doing a cloaking spell over the two siblings hidden from the vampires looking for them.
~~//~~//~~
"Cheers! Another step on taking the bastard down." Annabel clicked our glasses together.
We took the shot the warm feeling made its way to my stomach. I know we should be thinking of the risks of running into my father or his vampire soldiers around to spy on us but we are here to celebrate. We drank and dance and I stayed away from Dominic because whenever my eyes landed on his lips it's a reminder it touched someone else's lips instead of mine. Anger would spike up and the more I began to drink.
Nobody has ever made me feel this frustrated and irritated.
Brax appeared out of no where taking Annabel's hand and leading my dance partner away. So I just began to by myself losing myself on the beat of the music. A hand is placed on my hips as a body stood close behind me.
"You're really hot." A slurred voice whispered in my ear.
I turn to see a tall olive brown skin guy with close shave hair and the bluest eyes.
"Thanks." I smiled.
He press his body against me his lips closing in at every dance move that past. My eyes drop to his lips seeing a small smirk planted on it. He began to lean in but the moment he did he was pushed away a hand wrapped around his throat.
Dominic push him roughly while the crowd that saw stare shock at the violent behavior. People knew it wasn't just another fist fight in a club but something much more dangerous seeing the glint of anger in Dominic's eyes. He didn't care if everyone would see him rip his throat apart.
"What the fuck?!" The guy cough rubbing his neck painfully.
I roll my eyes staring flatly at Dominic annoyed that he gets to kiss who ever he wants but the minute I decide I do too he goes all ape shit.
"I suggest you get the hell out of my sight." His voice clam but his eyes shinning with anger.
The guy open his mouth to argue but fear roll off him seeing the deadly gaze Dominic held. The guy walked away angrily.
"Are you trying to make me rip a human heart tonight?" He face me.
"Go right ahead." I smiled flatly heading to the bar.
"Are you still mad?" He followed close behind.
"No."
I order my shots taking it all feeling his eyes on me.
"If it makes you feel better I was thinking about you when I was kissing her." He grinned trying to ease my anger but it did nothing but annoy me.
I shot him a glare taking my shot and when I look at his lips all I want to do is press his against mine erasing the image of her kissing him.
"You know what Dominic," I sighed. "I am not mad so go ahead and kiss every girl in this building and think about me because I will not think about you when I kiss someone else." I lied feeling the words burn in my throat.
His eyes turned hard looking at me, he took a step towards me my back hitting the counter and my drink is long gone.
"No one will ever get to touch you the way I do." He place both his hand on either side of me to the counter. "No one will ever get to touch your lips like I do.." His other hand place on my cheek making my breath uneven. My whole body tense waiting for his touch. "No one will ever get to taste these lips the way I do." He whispered like a promise making me lean in forgetting my stupid anger that is slowly dying the moment he said he thought of me when he kissed her. "No one will get to hold you like I do." He place his other hand on my back pulling me against him. My heart beating louder at each second he looks at me. "No one will ever know the feeling of your touch except me." His words had my chest tightening feeling the loud pound against my ribs.
He lean in and close the distance pressing his lips against mine making me moan at the contact that I've been waiting for. The desire, the need, the lust for his lips to be on me is something I want more then anything else.
My hand automatically went up to his neck pulling him in closer. The warmth of his lips had my skin on fire heating up at his every touch. I licked his smooth lips colliding my tongue with his feeling him and tasting him. He groan pressing himself against me, our breath is losing control and we are both panting in a club against a bar counter.
He deepen the kiss taking full control of it making me moan at his roughness. He nip my lower lip in hunger watching as his eyes turn darker at the action. I thrust my tongue in his mouth not getting enough of his taste. He pulled back our lips stain red and our breathing uneven as we stare at each other with heavy lids.
"Only me." He whispered his fingers grazing against my lips.
He took hold of my hand pressing it against his chest, I feel the beat of his heart against my palm.
"Only you could make me feel this way." He rubbed my hand over his making my eyes soften. "I'm sorry okay? She kissed me and I took that as an advantage for us."
I sighed I know I'm being dramatic, hell we're not even together. What gives me the right to be mad at him for kissing another girl infront of me. I couldn't help it thought, I couldn't help but let my hands wrap around her neck and snap all her bones there. I couldn't help but feel a pang of pain straight through my chest when I caught the sight. I just couldn't help it, it was like I wasn't in control anymore, I wasn't aware of my actions. It scares me more then anything to see the power he has over me to make me that mad with a kiss.
This vampire infront of me that makes me so mad, so frustrated, so irritated, so annoyed, so out of control, so crazy and yet he makes me feel something no one else gives me. A rush, an intense feeling that had me lose the ability to think clearly. He gives me excitement about being a vampire. He didn't teach me to control my hunger instead he taught me to enjoy it and that control will come willingly. He showed me how to have fun with my powers without all the chaos and death. He taught me to accept myself without me realizing it. He taught me that it doesn't have to be a bad thing being a vampire.
This man standing infront of me has become much more to me then I realize.
He stared at me a small frown fell upon those lips that had me wanting more of him and it's him that all I taste inside of my mouth.
I lean forward and place a small kiss on him letting my lips linger against his for a little longer before pulling away. I lean my forehead against him a smile forming my lips.
"You're mine." I whispered.
Something flash across his eyes, a bright shine that lit his eyes making my heart warm at the sight. He grin flashing me his perfect teeth.
"I'm yours." He promised whispering like a prayer.
