NOW ON WITH THE STORY!
He wanted to smash his head into a window, or better yet jump out of the window. Either way he wanted to be anywhere…anywhere than be graced with her presence.
He hadn't been waiting too long. The sky was now turning a deep crimson and the young boy had become comfortable within his arms. Royce was his name if he remembered correctly. He had yet to say a single word, but yet he was beginning to think the young one had some sort of a sixth sense, that being said he didn't need to speak, because Royce knew that he wouldn't be alive for much longer and there was no point getting attached.
On that depressing note, he noticed his breathing had turned into a very low hum. He continued to stare out of the wall sized window until there was no more light. He couldn't remember ever watching a sunset before. One hundred years on this earth had made him incapable of noticing significant beauty… he could only imagine her. She being well over a thousand years…he gulped his fear spiking again. He quickly decided that he would attempt to enjoy what could be his last ever sunset.
Suddenly a tiny whimper distracted him. He looked down at the curled up ball of warmth in his arms and decided that he wasn't the best source of comfort.
Cautious not to wake him, he placed Royce on one of the lavish velvet couches within the room. He removed his jacket and gently placed it upon him before crouching down and smoothing out the messy blonde curls upon his head. For a moment he watched the gentle rise of his chest, heard the skim of breath pass his lips and felt the heat of his slightly blushed cheeks.
He attempted to comprehend the life of this innocent and talented child…and ended up with a slight headache.
Instead he began to think about his priorities.
As soon as I deliver the message I need to leave. He nodded to himself in agreement as he began to slowly walk up and down the dimly lit room. He had been awake for almost two days straight, he hadn't fed and it was starting to take its toll.
He forced himself to stay awake, alert, he needed to know her next moves, he needed to be ahead of her every step.
"What will you do now your guard isn't here?" A voice that was melodious and enchanting made him stop mid pace.
He cringed.
His time was up.
A string of curse words ran through his mind- thankfully he bit his tongue.
He composed himself, retained an expression of indifference and turned to be faced with a very, very pregnant blonde woman that was currently making her way towards the sleeping child and another child. She was also blonde with the same curly hair as Royce. By the smirk currently on her angelic face he concludes this must be Royce's twin sister Raynah.
He looked between both females, the mother sat upon the couch lifting her son; he instantly melted into her embrace as she stroked his face with loving eyes.
When she turned towards the intruder, those once loved filled eyes turned cold with a hint of curiosity.
She stared at him long and hard presumably calculating whether he was to be heard out or killed swiftly.
He blow out a slight breathe when she simply shot her daughter a look. Raynah nodded and then sighed like she was bored "Well? We're waiting…. But first answer my question."
His mind instantly went blank. What did he come here to say again? He had forgotten. Fear could do that to a person.
He didn't reply to her little comment but he saw her glance to Royce indicating her point…he was the only thing keeping him alive.
Speaking wasn't an option, least he say the wrong words.
She kept her amused smirk whilst he stayed silent, watching him. After a moment of silence she shook her head slowly and he began to slowly retreat as she stepped forward.
She noted his action, raised a brow and stopped. Her smirk became more prominent than before.
A smirk like she was wearing definitely didn't belong on a 6 year old child.
"He really is your guard isn't he?" she mocked: he glanced at the floor with embarrassment, praying that a black hole just sucked him up.
"Aren't I meant to be threatened by you?" The mother suddenly reproached. He glanced back at her with concern.
No. no. no. She shouldn't be threatened because I am not a threat to her, how could she not see that? How was I not evidently displaying that of someone who knew they were powerless?
I need to fix this. And I need to fix it now was his thoughts
"And this little mute act you're pulling? It makes you all the more intriguing" Raynah added but his eyes were still glued on the matriarch, she was the lethal one in the room.
He tried to keep his facial expression calm only slightly reliving his frustrations by licking his lips. Of course her eyes followed the action, hovering upon his mouth and suddenly, they were back to that curiously cold gaze she first greeted him with.
He had to approach a different technique and he had to do it quickly. He had to be painfully submissive.
"Claudine," he said, causing her hard gaze to snap to his eyes. "Once I deliver this message about your brother, I will leave. I won't bother you again. You have my word I will be of no concern to you or your family. I am no threat to you." he paced his last sentence slower than the others, if you could imagine a doe deer retracting from a hungry wolf, picture it now.
For surely no other creature such as Claudine could inflict such a predatory aura, such a savage look from purely her gaze alone….well maybe one other…
He instantly regretted speaking. Now she was silent. He gave a quick glance to the little girl, she looked shocked, and then worried.
Worried… why was she worried?
He looked back to Claudine; she cocked her head to the side and was staring at him intently.
Not a sound passed for what felt like an age but was possibly not even a second. He had made this a game now; he'd just made the biggest mistake of his life.
She gently laid her son back on the couch and motioned her daughter to join him. Once the twins were together she glided towards me.
He kept composed, alert and ready. His fingers clenched at his sides while their eyes stay locked pace by pace, until she was right before him.
He held his breath, allowed her eyes to analyze him. His undead heart would have stopped in an instant when she lightly pressed her body against his and whispered
"State your business"
Trying not to squirm under the weight of her gaze his words came out rushed and all in one sentence
"Itsaboutyourbrotherkolhesdead"
"Come again?" Her voice seemed to have gotten warmer.
"It's about your brother."
"Which one, I have a handful…" she smirked and walked back to her children. Her son was awake and rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.
"Kol."
He watched her still. It was no secret in this part of the world that, Kol was her right handed man. They were thick as thevies and rightfully feared for their equally sadistic view-points.
Needless to say she was very protective of him.
"What about my lovely brother Kol?"
Her tone nearly turned him to stone.
"His dead." He squeaked.
She turned to face him. Staring at him for a while until she burst up laughing.
"What are you...stupid? I must say you sure have some nerve waltzing into my palace and lying about my brother."
"Yeah we just heard from uncle Kol not so long ago, he's with family, he's safe." Raynah said confidently.
"Precisely. My younger brother is accompanying my other 3 siblings, there's no way that they would let him get killed."
"I swear to you I'm not-" he started but was cut off when she flashed over to him grabbing his throat and strangling him.
"Shut up" she yelled "I'm growing tired of your lies." she hissed her eyes gold and blood red.
"Mother…" Royce's calm voice echoed through the room.
"He's not lying." Royce said his eyes filling with grief.
Still holding him Claudine's voice shock as she asked "What did you see?"
"Uncle Kol. White stake. Fire and then darkness."
"No no, you're wrong Roy, where were the others?"
"I'm never wrong." he shot back.
"Where. Were. The. Others." Claudine's cold voice stopping their argument.
"I didn't see them…I don't know" he whimpered
"Who was it?"
Royce shifted uncomfortably.
"Now Royce!" she growled.
"It was God mom Rine." he whispered
"WHAT!" she exploded.
"Well at least she looked like god mom Rine, but she still looked different, she had straight hair, she was also calling a boy with a strange tattoo…I think his name was…Jeremy?"
"Huh that doesn't make sense Roy, Rine would never hurt uncle Kol, and she doesn't have a twin sister so you have to be wrong."
Royce's baby blue eyes flashed gold. "I'm never wrong."
"Mother?" Raynah asked.
Claudine's grip loosened around the messangers neck.
"Your brother's right, he's never wrong" her eyes were cold and hard. Murderous.
Raynah's eyes filled with tears, she knew that look. It was the look she had right before she killed someone…
"But mommy please, please don't kill Rine it wasn't her, Rine would never ever betray you."
"I'm not going to kill her."
"Huuh" the twins said shocked
She looks between both her children "You're both right."
"Huuuh" they repeated.
"Raynah your right, it's not Rine; she would sooner kill herself than betray me in such a way, but Royce you are also right."
"I don't understand how can she look like Rine but not be Rine?"
"Because…she a doppelgänger…the doppelgänger…" she said her gaze filled with pure hatred as she returned her eyes to the messenger. Her grip on his neck tightened so much that if she applied any more pressure his eyes would bust out of his head. "…Isn't she?"
He could speak, so he just settled for slightly nodding his head.
Things just went from horrible to horrendous once she got her conformation. Her fangs come out and her eyes looked wild.
She plunged her hand into his chest and tore out his heart.
The children watched as their mother went from human to wolf and flashed out the room.
Raynah calmly walked over to the dead man's body and then picked up his heart.
"What are you-" Royce started but stopped as he watched his sister take a bite out of the heart.
"What?" she said mouth full.
"Your such an animal." He said
"What, why go and waste a perfectly good heart, besides mother said the heart is the best part of the body."
"On a human"
"Human, vampire their all the same."
"Speaking of which, we better get someone to clean this up." Royce sighed
"Yeah, that and the many others that are surely soon to follow."
A pained howl pierced the air that had both kids falling to their knees, with tears in their eyes.
"Mother's going to kill a lot of people tonight" Raynah said suddenly.
"Yeah, but why do you sound so shocked" he smirked.
"I'm not," she sniffed at his accusation and then looked back down at the dead vampire and shook her head. "What a fool…"
"Yes, I must agree, everyone knows that mother does not take well to bad news."
"And yet someone had to tell it eventually." She mused.
They looked at each other a then smirked
It sucked to be the messenger.
