Éternel – Chapter 9
"What do you want ?" Cade hissed at the female.
She laughed at him, baring her fangs. "Simple, you two, gone."
"Why, is there a problem ?" He asked her glaring at her angrily.
"You're in my territory, and my hunting grounds. Leave" The woman comanded.
"We're only staying for a week, just please, leave us..." Cade negociated.
"Your little girlfriend is a new blood, she'll need a lot to keep her stable, and I'm not willing to allow her to take over half of my possible nourishment. Leave. Now" She growled "Unless" The woman smirked walking towards him "You would want to stay here with me and just send her home, if that's what you want" the vampire smirked.
"You disgust me..." Cade replied bluntly, folding his arms.
"Suit yourself, don't say I didn't warn you" She spat lunging at him, her fangs barred. Ézire's jumped in front of him and held her arms out defensively. Showcked by this Cade gasped and looked at her. Ézrie was as equally as shocked to see the woman was stopped in her tracks by what appeared to be a force field.
"What sort of devil craft is this then" The woman smirked at Ézrie who had lowered the field. "You're a special one aren't you..." She smiled examning her.
"He said leave" Ézrie mummbled meekly.
"Ézrie are you alright ?" Cade asked looking down at her. Ézrie didn't turn around but she nodded in response.
"Little girl why don't you run along, I'm here for the pretty boy, not some new-born child" The female hissed.
"I am not a child!" She growled commanding a nearby vase to her hand and throwing it at her. The woman ducked and clapped at her efforts.
"Well done, I must say, you're quite the talented one aren't you"
"Leave" Ézrie said for the second time.
"Fine" She smirked "But don't think I won't be back" The vampire said winking at Cade "Call me" She smirked and walked out.
Cade ignored her and crouched before Ézrie "Are you alright ?" He asked taking her hand and pulling her up.
"I'm fine" She replied "But, how did I ?" She said looking at him confused.
"I don't know either" He shrugged "I guess Latimer was right, you are special"
Ézrie smiled at him "Thanks I guess"
"I took a look around, the place is nice, there's a pool, I thought maybe we could check it out together, go swimming ?" Cade suggested.
"Oh that sounds like fun but..." She began.
"But what ?" He asked
"I can't...swim..." She sighed.
Cade smiled and shook his head "Well, I'll teach you"
"You would do that ?" She smiled.
"I don't see why not" He said returning the smile.
"Okay!" She grinned jumping up and down.
"Go and get changed Ez, I'll wait out here..." Cade smiled and Ézrie nodded and waddled into the bedroom taking her suitcase with her.
...
After a few hours of practice Ézrie had grasped the basics and was confident to follow Cade into the deeper waters.
"B-But what if I drown" She mummbled taking his hand and walking along infront of him.
"I won't let you drown silly" Cade chuckled. Ézrie squeaked a little as soon as she couldn't reach the bottom and paddled back to the shallower waters.
"I don't like it" She whinned with a sad look on her face.
"Ézrie I won't let anything happen to you..." Cade reasurred her.
"A-Are you sure..." She replied sheepishly, and he nodded in response. Coming towards him she whined a little as the water got deeper. "Oh Ez..." He chuckled taking a hold of her waist gentely and holding her up. Ézrie blushed and turned herself around to face him. "See you're fine" He smiled wrapping his arms around her tighter.
"Yeah I am" she giggled at him. Cade smiled at her and kissed her cheek making them go a pearly pink.
"You're so cute when you blush" He smiled kissing her lips softly, closing his eyes. Ézrie pulled away and yawned before giggling a little "Are you tired ?" Cade asked her.
"No..." She said looking guilty.
"Yes you are" Cade chuckled.
"Am not..." She giggled poking him playfully.
"I'll drop you" He warned jokingly. Ézrie looked at him panicking "I wouldn't really stupid" He smiled swimming over to the side and placing her there before pulling himself up. "Did you have fun today ?" He asked her.
"Apart from that random vampire...yes I did" She smiled.
Cade chuckled a little to himself and stood up holdinh out his hand to help her up. Pulling her up he put his arm around her shoulder and walked back to the hotel room. Ézrie collapsed on the sofa exhausted.
"Aww well you can stay there whilst I go get changed then." He smiled walking into the bedroom and closing the door. When he came out Ézrie was sound asleep. Cade shook his head smiling pulling a blanket over her. "Sweet dreams" He said to sleeping Ézrie before kissing her forehead and walking into the bedroom to get some sleep for himself.
