Who am i? I asked myself as i stared at my hands. The burn from the silver already gone but the blood- Newlin's blood coated my hands and clothes. I tried to take comfort in the fact that i wasn't responsible for the humans death. I only killed Steve Newlin...
I looked over at the gate to find the man lying in a pool of his own blood. His heart was barely beating. I can save him. I think but i freeze when i thought that saving this one man may cause a lot of trouble for Godric, when the smell of his blood hits me. My hesitation cost this man his life but i can't seem to make myself regret it... there really wasn't anything i wouldn't do for Godric was there?
Well i already knew the answer to that before i even asked myself that question.
Wrong now i only killed Steve Newlin and one of his followers... I got to my feet at a human pace and looked around, making sure i missed nothing. It wasn't like i wanted to remember this. It was more of the fact that there was no doubt in my mind that i was going to be questioned.
I shouldn't have been able to do that... so... easily...
Two men appeared before me and i backed up fast. They were vampires. "The King has order us to bring you inside. It is not safe here." They said assuming i would agree easily when they said it was the kings wish.
"Not without my Maker." I told them subbornly holding my ground. "You have no choice he is your King youngling." One snapped and both restrained my arms leading me inside the gates towards the double doors that lead inside to the horror i had only been able to avoid thinking about to much because Godric was my priority.
I thrashed against their hold and when that failed i stopped fighting and just let then drag me before i jerked back suddenly and slammed my feet against the back of their knees. They were forced to release me.
Before i had time to react i was wrapping in Godric's arms and he was glaring daggers at the two. "The King wishes to see her." They say, expecting him to just give me up as they got to their feet and when he didn't their faces hardened.
"Rose does not leave my side." Underneath Godric's words was a carefully delivered threat. If you try to take her away from me again, you forfeit your lives. Something along those lines anyways.
Carefully he lead me inside, there was no sign that anything had happened here aside from the lingering smell of blood only slightly covered by whatever fragrance- i catch the glimpse of the can sitting on a table. Fabreeze, i think i'm not sure the label is ripped.
"You know as well as i do that she killed a vampire. I have no idea if the Magister will overlook this since Rose was only trying to save us. I have no choice but to call it in Godric."
At his words i froze. Remembering everything that i had seen at the tribunal. Now there was a chance that i could be punished for killing one of my kind... I was scared yes but if i had to be punished for saving Godric then i would accept whatever punishment.
No one said a word after that. I watched the king and noticed that he was unhappy with these turns of events, as he walked away and pulled a sleek silver cell phone from his pocket, i had the feeling he didn't want to make this call.
"Take her home Godric." He dismissed us and Godric picked me up, ran out of the mansion and flew in to the sky. His phone in his hand. He was calling Eric.
"Godric, what happened!"
"Meet me at my nest as soon as possible." Apparently he wanted to explain this in person. I watched him put his phone was and land. We we're back at home.
"Isabel." Godric called her as soon as we stepped inside. She was in front of us in a second. "Yes- what happened? Rose are you alright!" I nodded as Godric set me on my feet but took my hand in his.
"Newlin attacked the Kings nest. Killed many and took the King and I prisoner. Rose fought them." That was all he needed to say before it seemed to click with Isabel.
"Rose killed them?" She asked in disbelief. "She killed Newlin and one human who had attacked her. Spared the rest." Isabel stared at me for a few moments before speaking. "You act older than your age Rose, now it would seem we'll have to ask you to show the Magister the same. No doubt he is being notified?"
"The King feels he has no choice." I could feel Godric's anger- no that would be to weak for this emotion, rage was closer. He was furious with his King and confused at my acceptance of the whole ordeal for a while before that to turned to rage.
"Rose you should go clean up and drink a bottle of Tru blood." That was his way of dismissing me. What sucked was now i was even more reluctant to leave his side than usual.
I had seen Godric as unable to be harmed, even though i knew the usual weaknesses that came with being a vampire. I would have never thought anyone would be able to take him from me, but Newlin almost did.
He could both see and feel my hesitation. "I will be with you in a moment." He promised. "Please don't block me." I was close to begging. "I won't." He squeezed my hand reassurely and let go. Reluctantly i walked off to go do as i was told.
