Chapter 7
"I'm alive."
That was Starlits first thought when she woke up. Then everything started to come back to her. She started to tremble.
"Calm down", she ordered herself and took a deep breath. "Concentrate."
She was in bed. She was under warm blanket. She had all her clothes on. Did that means that Klaus had actually stopped? She remembered that he had drunk from her but maybe he hadn't done anything else. No, she didn't think that he had. She didn't know why and she didn't even care. She was just grateful. Then she remembered. She had cry in front of him. And like that's not enough she had begged like some pathetical weak little girl. Oh no. He had a hold on her now. Starlit really hoped that her mentor would be here right now because he would definitely beat her up for being so stupid. She would deserve it. She lifted the blanket and got up. There was a vase full of red roses on the table next to the bed. There was also a card. Starlit picked it up.
"Thank you for the wonderful night sweetheart" it said.
Starlit felt sick. This was all just a big joke for Klaus. She wanted to crawl back to bed when she heard a knock from the door. Starlit froze. Then the door opened and someone entered. But it wasn't Klaus. It was a man she hadn't seen before. He had messy looking black hair that reached almost to his shoulders. His eyes were very dark almost black and he was wearing black jeans and t-shirt. He was carrying a tray.
"Hi there", man said cheerfully. "I brought you something to eat."
Starlit looked at him cautiously.
"Are you a vampire?" she asked.
Man smiled.
"No I'm a warlock. My name is Caleb. And you must be Starlit."
"Yes." Starlit said quietly.
"Lovely to meet you. Anyways, here's your breakfast. Do you mind if I hang around with you a sec?
Starlit didn't have time to say anything when Caleb spoke again.
"You don't? Great!"
He put the tray to the bed.
"Breakfast in bed. Isn't it cool!"
Starlit didn't say anything. She just sat down and looked at the tray. There was some orange juice, pancakes, toast and fruits. She didn't touch anything.
"Oh don't worry its not poisoned", Caleb said laughing. "Sylvia is an excellent cook."
Starlit didn't feel hungry.
"So you and Klaus… You are friends?" she asked carefully.
"Well, I'd like to think him as my mentor. Mentor of evil, if you will."
Starlit looked shocked. Caleb burst into laughter.
"I was kidding! About the evil part at least. Kind of."
"Right."
Starlit couldn't really understand his humor. She backed away when he tried to approach her.
"Wow, wow! Easy now, I'm not going to bite." he said.
"Its nothing personal", Starlit said. "I just like to keep my personal space."
"I get that. You have some serious intimacy issues sister. Let me guess, a deuce bag father? I can totally relate! Mine was an asshole too. I killed him when I was 12. Bastard never saw that one coming"
"That's… nice", Starlit managed to say.
"Well anyway, enjoy your breakfast. I'll be seeing you."
Then he left.
"What kind of asylum is this?" Starlit thought feeling exhausted.
