Hello My Fellow Readers,
I am so glad that it is Christmas Break so that I have been able to post two chapters. Once school starts up again, I don't know how often you will see new updates, but I will try my hardest to post a chapter every two weeks. As I said in the last chapter, it's been a rough few months with my father passing away and all. So I've been pretty busy with helping my mom with my two younger siblings so I haven't been able to write my stories. I have another fanfiction that I am currently writing. So I'm guessing that my other readers are getting upset that I haven't posted anything in awhile.
I hope you guys enjoy this chapter. I tried my best to make everything work out. It's a slow muddled process in my head. Please review and let me what you guys think. I love reading what you guys have to say!
Thank you so much for reading. I hope you guys had a great holiday!
Read away!
Thanks!
Lee
I do not own Underworld but I do own Xavier and Luna! ;D
{Luna}
I don't know how long I was in Xavier's room alone in the fetal position. I was so numb, I couldn't move. I didn't know how my life spiraled out of control in the past forty-eight hours. All I knew was that Lucian sent me out on a mission and that was to get Michael and I have failed that mission. I failed by getting captured by Xavier. I used to think that this Xavier was my friend and he would stand by me no matter what. But I was so wrong when he threatened me the day of Sonya's execution.
I was still stumped over what Xavier told me the first time I saw him when I was captured. About him also falling for the wrong race. The majority part of my brain was telling me that Xavier was telling me stories to make him second guess myself about what I knew. Then there was the small part of my brain that he was telling me the truth. It also didn't make sense that if he "fell for the wrong race" as well, then why did he threaten my life so long ago.
My head was starting to hurt as I was trying to make sense of everything that has happened in the past and what is also happening now.
With all the strength that I could muster, I slowly got up. I could feel that my eyes were swollen and puffy. I staggered over to the bed and saw that clothes that Xavier had picked out for me. Of course it was something black. The dress that was laying on the bed. It had a halter top that in the back it looked like it would show the midsection of my back. At the waste line of the dress it turned into laced ruffles.
I picked up the dress and held it up to myself. When I held the dress up to my body the skirt of the dress reached my knees. The dress was gorgeous but I didn't understand why Xavier wanted me to wear this.
With shaky hands, I draped the dress over my right forearm, being careful not to get any of the dried blood from my wrist on the dress. I lifted my head and took in my surroundings. The bedroom was huge. There was a black couch a few feet in front away from the foot of the bed. In front of the couch was a cherry stained coffee table. On the left and the right side of the couch were two black chairs. On the opposite wall from where the bed was, there was a fire place. On that same wall, there was hallway.
I slowly walked passed the furniture into the hallway that I hoped led to the bathing area. I was right. The hallway was very short. As soon as I walked into the hallway, I was in the bathing area. The bathroom was roughly the same size as the bedroom, maybe a little smaller. The floor was made of a dark granite and so were the walls and ceilings. The lights were dim. For a human, it would be difficult to see. But for any supernatural being, you could see like it was daylight outside. Right in from of me was a walk in shower. Surrounding the shower was glass. On the right of the shower a few feet away was a bath tub that looked like what you would see from the 19th Century. It was a dark stone colored with a gold trim around the opening of the tub. The nozzle for the tub was built into the wall. The bath itself was beautiful. The sink was on the wall that was closest to me on the left. That too matched the bathtub. Above the sink was a wrack of black and white cotton towels.
With a deep heavy sigh, I walked over to the wrack and grabbed one of the towels. Then I walked over to the shower. On the left side of the shower there was a wrack and a glass door that led you into the shower. I hung up the dress and towel and carefully undressed myself. Being careful not to agitate the lacerations on my wrists. As soon as my clothes were off, I walked into the shower. I reached for the handle and turned on the water. I turned the water to as hot as it could go.
The hot water burned my flesh but it made me feel something besides feeling numb. I stood under the shower head for a few minutes. I let the water run over my naked flesh. It felt refreshing just to have the scalding hot water run over my body. After a few minutes I looked for soap. Hanging from the shower head was a tiny wrack that held shampoo and soap. And to my surprise, there was a razor. I reached for the razor first and shaved everything that I could. I kind of smirked to myself while shaving. It may seem gross to use somebody else razor, but it made me smirk knowing that it was Xavier's and that it now had my pubes on it. After I shaved everything that I possibly could, I grabbed the shampoo and washed my hair. Forgetting about the cuts on my wrists, I let out a small yelp as they started to burn with irritation. I quickly rinsed out my hair and my wrists. I swiftly shut off the water and walked out of he shower. I gently padded my body down with the towel.
As soon as I dried off my body, I dried my hair with it. Soon after, I unzipped the dress and gingerly stepped into it and zipped myself up. I walked over to the mirror that hung above the sink and looked at myself.
There were bags under my emerald green eye. My face looked completely shallow and you could tell that I didn't get any sleep at all. My long mink brown tosseled hair hung over my right shoulder as the curls tumbled softly down to my waist line. The black dress made me look like I was going to somebody's funeral, but nonetheless, it was beautiful.
I turned from the mirror and walked out of the bathroom. I wasn't sure what to do with my clothes so I left them on the floor along with the towel that I used.
As I was walking the short distance back to the bedroom, I looked down at my wrists. They were an angry red. They were definitely irritated and they were slowly healing. With the small amount of silver in my system, it was going to take a little bit longer to heal than it usually did when it came to wounds.
Once I entered the room, I was shocked to see that there was somebody sitting on the couch. That person that was sitting on the couch was Selene.
I froze in my tracks. I didn't know what to do. Selene was looking straight at me. The was she was looking at me was as if she was trying to peer into my soul.
Slowly, Selene got up from the couch and walked in my direction. Once she got close enough to me she stopped and crossed her arms in front of her leather covered chest as if she was trying to figure something out.. Her eyes were dark. Almost as if they were black. She was at least four inches taller than I was.
Selena peered down at me with her dark eyes. "What does your kind want with the human?"
"Why do you want to know?" I questioned. My voice was clipped. I wasn't going to tell her what my brother was going to do. As much as I was against it because I knew it was going to start another war, I just kept my lips closed, letting Lucian do whatever his heart desired.
"I just have an interest to what Lucian is planning and why he's interested with the human." Selene started to circle around me. I kept my eyes on the wall that the bed was up against. I could feel the anger start to fuel me up with hatred for all the bloodsuckers. My body started to shake a little.
"What makes you think that I know anything?" I asked. Selene was right in front of me when I questioned her.
"You think you can fool me dog?" She spat. "I know Lucian is up to something, otherwise your brother wouldn't have an interest in that human."
"For all that I know, I have no idea why my brother wants anything to do with that human that you are talking about." I lied. I didn't want her to know about why my brother wanted the stupid human. I could feel my nostrils flare as my temper grew. Selene just starred at me. Her eyes turning an ice blue.
"I never liked your kind."
"Oh really? And why is that?" I pressed.
Before Selene could come up with an answer, Xavier walked in. He looked at the both of us. He smirked his famous smirk. He was wearing a black long sleeve button up shirt. A few of the buttons were un-done so that shirt was slightly open showing off his pale chest. He was wearing black tight jeans. He wore combat boots that covered the bottom of his jeans. His raven black hair was held back with a rubber band.
He seemed amused to see Selene in his room. He walked over to where Selene and I were standing. We placed himself b my side but he was looking at Selene.
"Kraven is looking for you my dear," Xavier said. His deep voice filled the quiet tense room.
Selene bowed her head to Xavier and said "I'll be on my way, my lord." She glared at me and left the room. Once the door was shut, Xavier looked at me.
"You look beautiful as always my dear." Xavier said. He grabbed my hands and looked down at my wrists. He frowned a little.
"Those will heal in no time."
I snatched my hands out of his grip and walked over to the bed and sat down. Xavier staid put in the spot from where I left him.
I watched Xavier. He slowly started to walk to the bed but to the opposite side from where I was sitting. He sat down so that his right leg was crossed in from of him but his other leg was dangling off of the bed.
Before could say one word, I bombarded him with a question.
"What the hell am I here for Xavier? What the fuck do you want from me? Why is it so important that I am here for when you awake Marcus"
Xavier laughed.
"In order for my coven to awaken Marcus, he needs blood. The funny thing is that when we vampires drink blood, we can see our victims memories. So while we drain your blood to feed Marcus, he will be able to see your memories. He will also be able to see what your brother wants with that human Michael."
My heart beat quickened a little.
I turned my head so that I was looking at Xavier. For once, he wasn't smirking. I slowly rose from the bed. I could feel the blood from my face drain. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I could feel my eyes turning black as the anger was growing. My nails started to turn into claws.
"You fucking bastard." I growled. Xavier was up on his feet in a flash. His eyes were a steel ice blue as he bared his fangs at me.
"Luna, you wanted to know why you were here darling and I told you why," He hissed. "There is another way around this though. You can tell me what your brother is planning and then we don't have to use your blood to awaken Marcus."
"I don't fucking believe you." I was in front of Xavier. I could fee l my teeth turn into razor sharp canine's. My body was starting to turn as my anger became more pronounced. My body hunched forward as my boned started to shift. Before I could feel the first pop of my ribs, Xavier had me pinned down on the floor.
"Luna, you will not change!" Xavier hissed in my ear. "If you change and try to attack me you will end up back in that fucking dungeon again with twice the amount of silver. You fucking understand me?"
I reined in my anger. My paws started to turn back into hands and I could feel my eyes turn back to there pale gray. My breathing became fast and shallow. Xavier was still looking at me with those ice blue eyes. I could see his fangs peeking out from the corners of his mouth.
My body started to shake. The anger and the pain from my body having to change back to human was to much. I turned my face from Xavier as I threw up all of his wood floor.
My breathing started to slow down a little. My body ached.
Xavier was still pinning me down. I starred at the mess that I made on his floor. It was quiet for a few minutes.
"Luna," Xavier said softly. "Look up at me."
Reluctantly, I looked up at him. His eyes were back to his sapphire blue and his fangs were gone.
"You can always tell me what your brother is planning and we wouldn't have to use your blood at all." His expression was stricken. I was confused to why he was telling me that there was another alternative.
"You have a week to figure out what you want to do Luna." Xavier whispered. He leaned down and traced his nose across the artery on my neck. I froze. I could feel the goose flesh rise.
"Xavier, whatever happened to us? Why did Lucian's and Sonya's...mistake make you upset with me?"
Xavier froze. He Lifted his head up so that he was looking at me.
"Didn't I tell you that I didn't want to discuss that?"
"You have to tell me at some point." I argued.
Xavier sighed and stood up. He held out his hand. I grabbed his hand and hoisted myself up. Once I was standing, I could feel the pain in my back. It hurt like non other pain that I have ever felt.
Xavier stood right in front of me and was looking at me. His eyes were sad.
I reached out his hand and stroked my cheek. I was uncertain about the affection that he was all of sudden showing me. He sighed.
"I guess the reason why I was so upset was that I was afraid that if I confessed my love for you back then that you and I would end up like our older siblings."
Um... What?
