Hi again! Two POV's. $$$ is Jager and *** is Eric, just like last chapter.
I really don't like this chapter, but it tells how Jager had bought Nada
and what he plans to do with her, and Eric in his POV thinks about what had
happened. Enjoy! P.s. In the chapters before, Jager made us think (yes,
even me) that he was in love with her. And in the past few chapters you
must have noticed his subtle attitude changes. This is where his true plan
comes out. I know, I am just as shocked as you. But I don't mind cause I
loooove Jager! The first half is a memory, and ~~ means the memory has
ended. Thank you for all who reviewed!
Chapter 15

"Jaguar, Lucia," I greeted them as I sat down at the dining room table. Luckily it was just the three of us and Lucia seemed to be Nada's friend and so I didn't mind her presence.
"Jager," Jaguar responded as he glanced over at his niece, who just smiled softly at my greeting. I noticed the family resemblance, although rather distant, rather easily from that glance.
"Well, you obviously seem to guess what my reason for coming here was," I told them as I took a sip of water that a slave had placed in front of me. It quenched my parched throat, but I needed to feed on later.
"She's not for sale." Well, of course not Jaguar! I thought to myself as I set down the glass.
"Well, I believe we can negotiate that," I said casually as I looked at Lucia. She was an attractive young shifter, and I wondered only for a moment what she would look like in her Tiger form. I'm sure Risika would be fascinated, had she came.
"And how so?" That was my cue. I pulled out the agreement I had signed and put it out on the table. Then I put my finger on a single line that I had found last night mid-read in attempt to figure out what I had actually sign.
The following agreement can be nullified if terms change drastically or an administrator wishes to pull his/her name off the treaty.
"Seems as if you found the negotionable factor," Lucia told me in such a tone that I did not know how to decipher. It was blank. I had struck a nerve in her. True, who wouldn't want her friend not to be sold?
"Jager." Jaguar's voice finally sounded defeated. He even sighed after running his fingers through his long black hair.
"This is not just a game," I whispered, knowing that my habit of frolicking with mortal young women had finally come back to haunt me.
"Then quit acting like it is," Lucia growled at me as she stood up, her movements mirroring her second form before it attacked. "Quit being such a. . . ." Her eyes caught mine. My mind grazed hers and she felt it. She and Jessica were working together on something. That was easy to tell. Lucia had seemed to be borrowing Jessica's wardrobe.
"New Mayhem is not the best place for a human to grow accustomed to our world, Jager." I agreed with Jaguar on that. Personally I had no plan to bring her back home so soon.
"I know. Which is why I plan to negotiate with you on this." Glaring at me, Lucia knocked her chair to the floor and left the room. Perhaps hearing this disturbed her . . . .
"What is your suggestion?" Smiling, I leaned back in my chair.
"Nada is barely a teenage human, as we all know. Fala, Moira, many would argue against housing such a foolish young child." Looking at Jaguar, it was obvious that he agreed. "What I am proposing is that I will keep her here for a few . . . . years," Seeing curiosity in Jaguar's gaze, I quickly added, "She will not be broken, but kept away from other vampires. I . . . believe you have the empty cells in the basement from the original Midnight?"
"The original Midnight was destroyed," I was informed coolly.
"Yes, but you did restore it back, down to the last important detail, did you not?" That seemed to strike him as a surprise.
"You've done your homework."
"I want Nada down there." Although it was obvious that I had wanted that, the vampire still looked shocked. "I'll pay for the costs for it to be refurnished."
"I suppose if YOU paid for it . . ." I seemed to be getting to him, but with high reluctance. His line is rather stubborn, especially when it came to money and power.
"I'll pay extra if you make sure that she has no contact with anyone but me, you, and a select few servants." I did have a lot of money. Making your self the long lost son of several wealthy families can do that. Ask Risika. I did give her that advice after all.
"How much?" Yep, I had him hooked.
"75 grand a year." Just by his look he must have thought me mad.
"How many years again?" Slowly, he sat back down and folded his hands in his lap.
"Four, starting next year." Considering that it was sometime in September, there were a few more months ahead.
"And until then?" I smiled. Jaguar had all but verbally accepted my offer.
"The cells will be brought down, but then rebuilt into one large keep." The word keep sounds better than cage, doesn't it? "Then it will be furnished with a bathroom, bed, closet, book shelves, weights, anything else necessary and whatever she wants."
"I meant, what about Nada?" Hehe, my mind was still on money. As I thought about it, I realized what my subconscious had been planning the whole time. I smiled wickedly as my mine began to work on its own.
"I want her human interaction to decrease into only or 4 visits a month by January." As if Jaguar had just realized what I had been planning, he slowly stood up. Too bad that he hadn't caught before I did.
"You're training her mind." He told me. No questions asked. I nodded. "Deal." Shaking his hand, I smiled. I was training Nada's mind to become a perfect vampire. A perfect vampire. A perfect Silver vampire. This would explain why I had thought about what she thought. This whole thing would explain why I had thought about her all the time.
This whole thing was going to make her hate me, loath me, despise me. And that meant that she was going to fight back hard when I would take her blood and make her one of the night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rather fondly, I thought about how quick that had happened. No longer than 20 minutes. It took me 20 minutes to begin the process of building a vampire mind set inside a 15 year old. This would be an interesting next few years.
Lying back on my bed, I then brought my attention to the boy. The boy who had known my Nada for less than half an hour and already was in love. Love at first sight? Doubtful. Thinking for a moment, I thought that if she really did love him then it would be better for the hatred I needed to form in her mind. If I took her away from him.I smiled wickedly. This was going to be a VERY interesting plan. Now if I passed it to Aubrey . . .
***
Stalking into my room, I slammed the door behind me as I wiped the blood coming out of my nose on my already bloody sleeve. My skin still tingled from where Jager had licked away the blood. After pulling off my shirt and throwing it in the corner of my room, I went into my bathroom to wash off my face.
After that, I pinched my nose between my index finger and my thumb to try and stop the bleeding. I didn't have much of a choice as not to look in the mirror. It was right in front of me. My eyes were red rimmed, my skin showing some red blood stains, which only showed because my skin had paled.
Jager had bought Nada. No, I thought to myself as I sat down on my bed, Jaguar had sold her. The first human girl that I had let myself fall in love with, if only for a short while, had been sold to a Mayhem. Why did my chest ache when I thought about her? It feels like my heart is being pulled out. It must be the bruised rib I had gotten from Gabriel the other day for not calling him a sweet name like milord. Ravyn had set him straight afterwards. Seems as if she has grown a soft spot for me. But I could see, with Gabriel as a prime example, that she preferred older men.
Not bothering to put on another shirt, I left my room in order to go into the kitchen. I hope they have ice there. It might help my rib.
Or, thought another part of myself, my weak side. It might freeze your heart.
