*Alright alright this chapter is really short, just like all my other ones. Lol no really this one is short, but it's really important. It is necessary for the plot. Oh, this is in Lucia's pov. Read and Review please!!*

~*~Chapter 10~*~

I saw Turquoise slam Eric's door and sigh loudly after the echo had softened to quieter than a chuckle in the wing. Eric rarely made anyone really upset, but it was obvious it was one of those rare times after Turquoise ran her fingers through her hair and went up into the west wing, no doubt to visit Jaguar. Or maybe Nada, I thought to myself. She was probably still asleep on the bed, in the same position. After all, I had just drugged her. I did feel guilty for doing it, but I agreed with Jaguar on the fact that Nada had to learn how to keep her mouth shut.

Luckily for her, the New Mayhem negotionators had been there. If they hadn't, Adrian would have beaten her to a bloody pulp. Adrian, although needlessly rude, was smart enough to know not to beat a slave when they are the subject that the other two vampires had been there for.

Now to think about Jager. He certainly was out of character once Nada made her ungraceful entrance. That unnerved me. Maybe he was hungry. Then he said he would walk her to her room. That all but screamed "snack time!!!" However when I had given Nada her food, her neck was untouched, except for the bandage that was a result of Adrian's harsh feeding. Odd.

I never really trusted vampires. They always made me feel uncomfortable, they still do. But considering my several greats of an uncle is one and he saved my life, I decided that I will have to live with them.

"Evening, Lucia," came a voice from behind me. I had to smile. Jessica had a dry sense of humor, and it was easy to tell that she had to bite it back.

"Same to you milady," I answered as I turned around, just in time to see the look of disgust on her face.

"Haha," she managed as she dusted something invisible to me off of her shirt. Maybe it was Adrian, I don't know. I knew she didn't like those titles. Of course, she had mentioned that she wouldn't mind them if they came out of Aubrey or Fala. I don't know who either of these vampires are but I guessed that she had a certain dislike for the vampire named Fala. Jessica still had to work on her 'mask of no emotions' as she called it. When she had said the name Fala, her obsidian eyes betrayed her.

"Where is Jager?" I asked her casually, knowing that she would know what I was actually asking. A smile played at the corners of her mouth as she pretended to think.

"Hmm I believe he is in Jaguar's study, talking. I believe there is a phone in there, spelled of course. It lets vampires send mental messages through the witch's spelled border. Cool huh?" Of course I thought it was cool. I HAD given Jaguar the idea of one.

"Yes, whoever thought of it should be praised." I couldn't hide my smirk, and then added as an attempt to disguise it, "It was about time someone thought it up."

"Right," she replied, watching me with a raised brow. "Anyway, I was looking for you." Hmm I wonder what she wanted ME for.

"Well, it seems like Jager has an eye for your little friend Nada." Her expression changed, and then I knew that she had been practicing her unreadable mask. "As much as I would like to see Fala react to this, let alone the whole Silver line, I do not think that it is a good idea for him to get any closer."

"But Nada-"

"I agree. I doubt that Nada knows what is going on, but it's obvious to us. What I'm proposing is that you help her...." pausing, she bit her lip in attempt to find the right word. It was obvious that she didn't really like what she was doing, but I agreed that it had to be done. There was no way that the vampiric society would accept it easily, and it had to be stopped before it had a chance to grow. "Redirect her interests." Jessica finally finished. Oooh, just what I was thinking.

"You know what Jessica?" I asked with a small smile playing at my lips. "I agree. And you know what else?" The way I phrased it made Jessica take a step towards me.

"What?"

"The answer lies right over in that room." I lifted my tanned finger in the direction of Eric's room. Both of us let our smiles reveal themselves and she came closer and wrapped her arm around my waist. I guess she was a touchy kind of vampire. I had heard that she was completely opposite as a human.

"Let's discuss this solution over a cup of blood in my room." We continued down the hallway and right as we entered her room she added, "Fruit punch might be more tasteful, for you."
