Chapter 4.
The next night, Christopher and with the help of some of the vampires had made a secret passage in her bedroom for Judge Alan Turpin, so he could stay close to Sharon even better than staying in the basement during the morning and afternoon days. Turpin agreed and he was more than glad to have them build another secret passage in Sharon's room for him. That was for only Alan Turpin. The Judge would do anything to protect his mate from other blood thirsting vampires, who would want Sharon. Alan would not want any of that to happen to his Sharon. The only thing that mattered to him was Sharon. His 1 and only mate.
The vampire butlers and maids were out and about and outside, getting their thirst of blood and the Barker family along with Christopher and Alan to make sure that the other vampires would not go after Isabella, Richard, Elizabeth and Sharon for their blood. Isabella went to bed right after dinner that same night. She had always go to bed early at times. Sharon knew this was her Grandmother's routine since they were living in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
Before they went to bed for the night, Richard, Elizabeth and Sharon were walking down the corridor towards their bedrooms when Elizabeth stood close to him and she had her arm around her husband's waist. This was not just out of fear from the vampires. But Elizabeth needed the comfort from her husband and he knew what she was doing. He smirked at this as Richard spoke when he looked at his niece. "Sharon, your Aunt and I would like you to go to the party here in the Barker house hold tomorrow night and We will have Mr. Turpin to place him as a body guard for you. How does that sound to you, Sharon? And I do know that you do not like big crowds." Richard asked his niece with hope look on his face and in his eyes.
Ever since she was a kid, Sharon was always not a big fan of a big crowds at any party when her Grandmother would bring her to. Turpin had noticed this when he first met her when she came the last time that she was a shy 1 and did not like the huge crowds. She knew that the Judge would always protect her from anything that would bring harm to her. She nodded her head. "Sure I can come to the party, but I'll have Mr. Turpin stay with me at all times. He's always been there to protect me, Uncle Richard and Aunt Elizabeth. It sounds good to me that I'll be there." Sharon said as she agreed to go to the party the next evening.
Richard looked at his wife and they nodded in understanding along with a chuckle. "Alright, Sharon, That sounds good that you will be there and I will speak with Christopher and Mr. Turpin before the event for tomorrow night. But as of at this very moment, we need to get some sleep before morning." He told their niece softly.
Sharon agreed with them before she hugged and kissed her Aunt and Uncle a good night. Then, they all walked off to their bedrooms to sleep for the night. In her room, Turpin looked out of her window in deep thought about his mate after he went outside to go suck the blood out of a deer that was prowling around cautiously and then, Alan sucked the blood right out of the animal. Sharon walked slowly and carefully into her bedroom, keeping a look out for other vampires and after she closed the door behind her, Sharon was startled with a gasp when she saw a familiar figure over in front of her bedroom tinted window in which was half covered by the purple curtains that she loved the color. The moon light was shining through them brightly.
She sighed deeply and she calmed herself. "Mr. Turpin. I didn't know that you would be up here in my room. You got me scared for a minute there. Did they help you from Christopher to get a new secret passage" Sharon said as she rested her hand over her chest and her eyes widened with surprise as she stared at him. "Uncle Richard and Aunt Elizabeth is wondering if you would want to stay with me when the party for tomorrow night, Mr. Turpin?" She asked quietly.
Alan smirked at her when he turned from the window to look at her in the eyes. The moon light lit dimly upon him. Sharon saw his tall figure and his face and he looked so handsome to her. "Well, Miss Barker, I would be delighted to accompany you to the event tomorrow night and I did not mean to startle you." He said softly with raised eyebrows and he gave her a small smile. He sighed. "And yes. Christopher and the others have made another secret passage only for me. So, I could stay here in your room to protect you." Turpin said with the softness in his eyes. Sharon's face softened at Alan's words. She appreciated him for protecting her. Now it was getting a bit late. "I think it is time for you to get into your bed." He told her in a whisper.
Sharon agreed with Alan. She walked over to her dresser to grab her pajamas before she went over towards the bathroom that was connected to her bedroom. After she changed into her pajamas, she walked out of the bathroom and went for her bed. Turpin stood right next to her bed. The Judge pulled back the blankets for her and he she climbed in and under the covers. Alan helped her cover her and tucked her in. He was about to walk away towards his secret passage way when Sharon grabbed a hold of his cold hand. Turpin looked down at her with concern. "Can you stay with me until I fall asleep, Mr. Turpin?" She asked quietly." At some nights, Sharon would have some nightmares and the Judge would be there for her to protect and comfort her.
Alan gave her a small smile as he stared down at her. "It would be my pleasure, Sharon. And please, call me Alan." H said gently to her. Sharon loved the sound of her name coming from his baritone voice. Turpin would do anything to make her feel no depressed.
She nodded up at him in understanding. "Okay, Alan." She said as she gave him a tender smile before she got more comfortable into the blankets. She rested her head on her pillow and she closed her eyes as she fell asleep. The Judge went to the other side of her bed and he climbed onto her bed and he only sat up. He rested his back and his head against the bed post head rest as he watched her sleep. In her sleep, Sharon rolled over to where Alan was at and she wrapped her arm around his cold body. He knew that she had fallen asleep. The Judge looked down at her and he rested his hands on her hand and her forearm. He decided to stay with her until it was time to go into his secret passage to stay out of the sun light.
