HERE'S CHAPTER 13!!! YAY!!! Read and Review plz!! Thnx for some of the ideas you guys sent me!! They really helped!! On with the story!
NARRATOR'S POINT OF VIEW:
The Brides were all scattered about in the lounge. Verona was pacing and Marishka was reading a book. Aleera was on the balcony watching the stars with a glass of blood. "Do you not notice the way he looks at her…talks about her??!!" Verona cried. "Calm down, sister. Master loves us! Not that girl!" Marishka said trying to comfort Verona. "Let me do your hair, dear," Marishka offered. Verona stopped pacing and looked at Marishka as if she were mad. "You've got to be kidding me," Verona spat. Marishka hissed and turned back to her book. "There must be a reason for this. Why all of a sudden? Why now? There has to be someone to…Aleera! Aleera it is your fault!" Verona accused, pointing to Aleera. Aleera frowned and entered the room and crossed her arms. "What are you going on about?!" She hissed at Verona. "It is your fault! The Master ignores us all because of you! You are the one who threw the girl off the balcony!" Verona yelled.
Aleera hissed and rushed at Verona. Verona yelped as Aleera slapped her right across the face, leaving 3 deep claw marks. Verona gasped in shock and turned away, holding her wounded cheek. Aleera hissed sharply and watched as Verona calmly turned back around and straightened herself. Verona looked Aleera right in the eye as her cuts healed completely. "That was totally uncalled for." She simply stated. Aleera widened her eyes as Verona's teeth lengthened. Verona grabbed Aleera by the neck and sunk her fangs into the tender veins there. Aleera shrieked and pushed at Verona to detach her, but she held fast. All of a sudden, Marishka threw Verona off of Aleera and screamed at the both. "Enough!" She cried. "We cannot turn against each other, loves! We must work this out together!" Verona licked Aleera's blood off of her lips and glared at the two women before her. "This did not start after what Aleera did. It was when she helped our Master heal his wounds!" Marishka stated frantically.
Aleera suddenly jabbed her finger at Verona and let out her shrieky laugh. "That is correct! This started when Verona sent Cassidy in to help the Master! Well, well, Verona. How the tables sure have turned." Aleera said tauntingly. It was Verona's turn to slap Aleera…and she did. Aleera flew back into a fireplace spoke sticking out of the wall. She shrieked as the spoke went right through her stomach. She then sighed and glanced down at her dress. "Dammit, Verona! This is my favorite dress!" She yelled while pulling the spoke out of her gut with a sickening sound. "Tough!" Verona yelled as she rushed at Aleera again, but this time Aleera was ready and grabbed the spoke. She rammed it through Verona's heart and gave it a good shove with a little smirk on her face. Verona gasped and backed away with the spoke sticking out of her chest. She dropped her hands to her side and tilted her head. "We're going to be at this all night." She stated.
"What is going on here?!" An angry voice demanded from the doorway. The girls all spun around to meet the eyes of their master…and he did not look very happy. A strange sight he was greeted with. Aleera with a large whole in her favorite dress, Verona with a thick iron spoke sticking out of her chest, and Marishka watching the two with a book in her hand. He entered the room and glanced in between the three girls. "Well?" He waited. They didn't say anything and he sighed. "Someone better explain this to me or…Verona…please take that thing out of your chest. It's quite distracting." He said. Verona glanced in between him and the spoke before quickly pulling it out and setting it back down. "Now…what is going on here?" He asked again. And that was it. They all started ranting at the same time and Dracula could only catch every other word. He rubbed his temples before throwing his arms up and yelling, "Silence!" They all yelped in fear and fell back. "Now…one of you…tell me what was just going on moments before." He tried to say as calmly as possible…and failing quite badly. Aleera cautiously took a step forward and said shakily, "Nothing, Master. Nothing at all. We were merely having a heated discussion." "Yes. One thing led to another, you see?" Marishka added. "Please do not forsake us, My Lord!" Verona pleaded. "Hush now! I will never forsake you! Come to me darlings." He demanded lovingly. The Brides quickly ran into his arms and began to coo and purr. They nuzzled his neck and hissed into his skin. He lightly pulled away from them and smiled. Heading out the door, he added one last thing. "Whatever went on before…ends now."
DRACULA'S POINT OF VIEW:
They were upset. I knew this. They were upset because of Cassidy. I gave them certain orders to end the feelings they fought over. Worthless feelings. They were not welcome in my castle. I hadn't seen Cassidy since yesterday. I had better check on her. I turned down her hallway and quickly checked my pocket watch. 3 hours to sunset. I smiled to myself. Just enough time to persuade Cassidy into speaking with me again. She'd have to sooner or later. It aggravated me the way she refused me…but her resistance intrigued me. As I neared her door, I felt something strange. I could not feel her. I could not feel my Cassidy. I busted through her door, not even caring to unlock it first. Just as I had thought. She wasn't there. Cassidy was gone.
