Chapter 29: That fateful night
Sophie's P.O.V
England 1760
"Who is she Hal?" I asked glaring at him however he simply laughed and pulled me towards him. He'd been disappearing every evening to visit this…this idiotic self-absorbed whore and he had the audacity to come back every evening as if nothing had happened.
"She is no one my love." He answered caressing my cheek, but I knew I had to do something before he had the chance to turn her and ruin everything we had built over the last two hundred years. I had to figure out who she was and lure her to somewhere where I could easily end it. "No need to be jealous."
"Jealous?" I scoffed pulling away from him I'd show him jealous. A while later just like clockwork Hal left to visit this woman, I followed at a safe enough distance that he would not expect me to be there…or maybe he would expect me to be there. He didn't suspect that someone was following him and so carried on as he would normally, leading me straight to this woman.
He knocked on the door to quite a nice stately home looking around, obviously thinking I may have followed him however he saw nothing out of the ordinary and returned his gaze to the door, which was then opened by the woman, soon she wouldn't answer that door ever again. I watched their exchange until they entered the house.
A few days later, a few days to plan out exactly how this was going to happen all I had to do was get her on her own without Hal intervening, which could be done quite simply by making sure Hal was either on a bit of a rampage elsewhere, or he was intoxicated. The harder part of the plan was being able to convince this woman to meet me without knowing it was me, and that was going to happen using one of the loyal servants, ones I had specifically turned.
A day or two passed and he continuously saw her of an evening and would come back to me bringing back various different gifts to ease his somewhat guilty conscience. He would soon not need to do any of this and we could carry on as if none of this had happened.
"Deliver this to this address at exactly this time, not earlier or later, exactly at this time." I ordered the servant handing him a letter for Lady Mary, Hal's secret lover. I would keep Hal distracted for a while giving Mary some time to get to the location I had specified in the letter. "Now go."
"Ah there you are." Hal called as he walked into the room, the servant brushed passed him and he simply scoffed. "I hope you're not scaring off the staff."
"Of course not."
"Now what shall we do with all this free time." He mused drawing me into his arms as he slowly began to kiss my neck.
"Oh I can think of a few things."
After a couple of hours keeping Hal busy waiting until he was well and truly asleep, I slipped out of bed found my clothes, luckily he had refrained from ripping them this time, I quietly exited the bedroom. I made my way to the meeting place I had told Mary to meet Hal at, it was part of a building that I knew was abandoned but it was close enough to the square that it wouldn't have been all that suspicious for her to walk to, especially if they were keeping their meetings a secret. It didn't take a lot of time before I arrived at the destination and low and behold she had arrived.
"Lord Harry?"
"I'm sorry Lord Harry won't be joining you tonight." I replied making her jump slightly she squinted in the dark trying to make out who had just said that, before her eyes focused on me.
"Who are you? Where is Lord Harry?" she asked a slight hint of fear in her voice, she was trying to mask it by acting confident.
"Are you deaf dear, or are you simply an idiot?" I mused making her glare more at me, "Lord Harry is otherwise engaged, as for me I'm his wife."
"His wife? He spoke not of any wife."
"Figures, he sees a pretty lady and simply follows her around like a rabid dog." I sighed taking a couple of steps closer to her. "I'm afraid you won't be seeing him anymore."
"What? I'm sorry that he has been seeing me without your knowledge, maybe he wanted someone newer, younger and more captivating." She stated the fear had disappeared as a smug smirk found its way onto her face. "I'm not going to stop seeing him."
"Oh you really will." I snarled as my eyes went black and those oh so useful fangs emerged. "Let's see just how captivating you are when you're dead."
Screams filled the air as she tried her best to escape, but once my fangs pierced the white flesh of her neck she was done for. I drained her till only a little bit of life was still in her before I was rudely interrupted by Hal.
"What exactly are you doing?"
"Something I should have done the minute I found out you were seeing her." I replied dropping her body to the ground watching as her wide eyes sluggishly looked between Hal and I.
"You do know I was planning on killing her." He stated as he bent down to brush a few stray hairs behind her ear before snapping her neck and ending it. "You ruined my fun."
"I'm sorry it couldn't wait any longer, we can always have fun once we return back home."
Author's Notes:
