Chapter 2:Frustration, Confused
"I'm fine now and I need to get back to my family," Luna said abruptly. Nikolas peered at her from beneath his dark, heavy lashes, his head tilted to one side in an innocent sort of way. Then, as if he had came out from his pondering, he shook his head slightly as if in disapproval.
"No, I cannot let you go."
Luna's eyes widen incredulously, "What?"
"I assumed from the state that I found you in, that you are in some sort of a trouble. Therefore, if I were to let you go, there's no telling that whatever was after you, wouldn't come back for you. I suggest you forget your family for a while."
Luna just stared at him, fighting the urge to strangle him. 'Calm down, Luna. He doesn't know the whole thing so just calm down.' And when she spoke, it was in a quiet tone, with a hint of hysteria laced in it.
"No, you don't understand at all. By now, I'm quite sure that my family and possibly my whole clan is either in imperious danger of being wiped out or to be brought over to be slaves...I have to save them now. So you see, this just doesn't concern me!" Her tone had raised by a few decibels at the last sentence. Nikolas' eyes narrowed slightly, then told Marguerite to leave the room. The human did as he said but not before giving Luna a disdainful look that she had spoken to Nikolas like that.
Once Marguerite was gone, Nikolas went over to settle himself on a couch.
"I don't want you to leave, not yet. You are seriously injured, if you insist on barging your way out of this house to save your family, then you are really seeking your own grave. Are you really that irrational to think this out carefully?" He stated simply, calmly.
Luna sat back on the bed. Much as she hate to admit it but he was simply right. If she was to go out there right now, there's no doubt that she will die within the next twenty-four hours once the foxes were on her trail. They had already knew where she was, the only thing that was actually hindering them from killing her is that she was in a vampire's lair. A strong one at that as well. She had seen the way the foxes had cowered when they near Nikolas' house. The reason why she never cower was because she was either to injure to care or too desperate to actually sense the dark aura emanating from the house.
The room was silent as Luna and Nikolas both looked at each other. Well, Luna was glaring while Nikolas just returned her glare with a closed expression.
At that moment the silent tension was broken when the doorbell rang.
*~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~*
"Marguerite, good to see you again. Nissa told me that Kristopher might be here..."
The human looked delightfully at the girl standing at the door, telling her that Kristopher was in one of the rooms, sleeping. The girl was about to ask Marguerite to show her where when a voice interrupted.
"Goddess, who visits at such ungodly hour?" The southern drawl was a little annoyed.
"Kristopher, is that you?...no, couldn't be. Anyway, it's not so much of an ungodly hour, it's already late morning, Nikolas," Sarah answered in a mock sweet tone when she recognised the aura.
Nikolas appeared at the bottom of the stairs, his eyes wide. "Sarah? What are you doing here?"
"Yes, that's me. Could you get Kristopher here please."
"Already done that. Meanwhile, can I get you something to drink?" This in which Sarah politely refused.
"I suggest you rest, Nikolas. It surprises me that you doesn't recognise my aura when I came. Besides, you looked ready to kill anyone who happen to be nearest to you."
*~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~*
Nikolas sighed in frustration when Kristopher asked him how was the injured girl that he had brought in last night. Kristopher had enter the living room a few minutes ago with a sleepy, if not a little grumpy expression when Nikolas had roused him from his sweet slumber to come into the living room. But that expression did a sudden three-hundred and sixty degrees change when his gaze fell on the blonde sitting on the black sofa, with her back facing him.
Sarah's eyebrown lifted up in an amused arch. "Is that why you look as though you want to kill something?"
"Part of it," He deadpanned. Then he stood in one fluid motion.
"I shan't disturb the two of you, I'm going back to my bed now," With that said, he disappeared, presumably back to his room.
"My, what a grumpy mood he is in," Sarah murmured before turning a sly smile to Kristopher.
"Care to show me where your bedroom is?"
*~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~*
~EtHeReAl WoLfe~: Okay, here's the 2nd chapter...wait, it's not what you think, Sarah is not going to Kristopher's bedroom for whatever purpose that you guys are thinking of...let's just say that she want to have a nice long 'pillow talk' with him. Anyway, I'm not sure what I'm writing abt cuz I wasn't thinking straight[supposedly, I'm writing rubbish]...Purple Rose Fairy, it's too early to rush into things cuz the shifters and vampires r not in a trustful mood so it wld b really weird to go into that so soon...Review plz, thanks.
