Chapter Four

Before I realized it, I was sitting in a very big comfy chair in what looked to be a massive study/office trying my very hardest not to throw up.

The dizziness took over mostly because it has been a while since I have been carried and rushed off by a vampire but I made an effort to focus on my surroundings and my breath was instantly caught at how immaculate the decor was in this room. I could tell right away that I was not any ordinary study or office area and it had the most amazing smell of sandalwood and vanilla. I had to almost suppress a moan that was threatening to escape.

As I looked around at how beautiful this room was, I actually forgot for a second on what just happened and how I ended up in this room. Finally facing the grand desk in front of me that was currently empty but I knew without a doubt that I was not alone in this room.

Why did he bring me here?

Why am I not dead yet?

Questions started to form in my mind one after another and I started to feel what was a panic attack starting to rise from me and before it could get carried away, I thought to myself to hold it together since you are not dead yet. Let's just get straight to the point, shall we?

"Are you going to kill me?" I blurted out loud knowing that he would hear me no matter how quiet or loud I asked my burning question.

A light growl coming from somewhere behind me was my answer.

"I know what you are!" I said.

All of a sudden, I started to gain some confidence and started to have a moment of deja vu.

I started to look around the room and spotted what looked like a mountain of a body shape that started to come out of the dark corner to the right-hand side of where I was sitting. There he was in all of his glory slowly walking into the light so I can once again gain a better view of him.

He stared me down with an intense gaze that I have never seen before in my life and it started to make me very uncomfortable. It seems I have finally grabbed his attention.

"What do you know mi amore?" I heard his deep masculine voice say to me while he kept his eyes locked with mine.

I found myself just staring at him once again and I just couldn't find my voice and speak at this moment. It was like he was pulling me in just by him looking at me and I could not turn away if I wanted to. There was something in his eyes that was holding me in place while everything in my head was telling me to get out of here but my heart was telling me something completely different. I was very conflicted right now, to say the least.

I shook my head and finally tore my gaze from him and stood up from where I was sitting and looked down as I whispered "The least you can do is let my classmates go..." and was interrupted mid-sentence when I felt a slightly cold hand lift my chin up so my face was looking right at him.

What I saw scared and exhilarated me at the same time.

Whispering to match my tone he just stated "Such a brave one. Tu mi appartieni."

"What did you just say?"

He smiled and went to caress my face but stopped as soon as I moved back and gave him a 'What in the hell are you doing' look.

"Please sit back down Isabella and tell me what you know about me." He asked as he guided me to sit back down in the chair, I was sitting in. When he touched me briefly on my arm, I felt sparks fly up my arm and down my spine and was sure it was because I would meet my doom very soon.

Instead of trying to lie my way out of the situation that life just loved to put me in, I decided if I was going to die and this would be one of my last moments in life, I will be honest.

It came out like word vomit before I knew it.

I told him everything that happened to me since day one leading up to my present situation. At times during my story, I saw his facial expression change to sad, angry, frustrated, and something else I could not name. Other than the few times his face changed briefly he looked completely blank and unreadable.

"... on a school trip." I ended my story with a big breath of air and waiting to see what fate would deliver to me now.

Before I knew it, he was standing and walking back and forth in front of me processing everything that I just said. I took this time to really look at him fully and I really had no words. He was amazing to look at. If I wasn't so scared for my life right now, I could just sit here and stare at him forever but I really needed to get out of here. I really hope Ashleigh is okay.

"Can I leave now?"

He stopped pacing so fast and faced me I felt like he was going to attack me.

"No!" he barked the order at me.

"Okay," I whispered and felt a stir in me and I am pretty sure he noticed since his eyes turned very dark. I didn't realize that was possible.

"Non ear il tue compagno." He whispered making sure I could hear him even though I know he knows I do not have any idea what he is saying.

This was getting ridiculous! At this point, I really didn't care and that surge of confidence was coming back again and I'll be damn if I was going to be stopped. Either kill me or let me go!

I go to stand up and move towards the door. Before I could even reach the handle, I felt strong hands grab my waist and turn me around. I was pressed against his hard chest and I am not sure why I looked up at him but I did and I swear it was like I became possessed and I leaned in and closed my eyes and I was smelling him. He smelled so good and delicious.

Oh my god! What was wrong with me!?

Trying to snap myself out of it I put my hands up against his chest to push myself away from him. He was smirking at me again while watching me knowing that I could not get out of his grip unless he wanted me to.

He leaned down and whispered in my ear "Dove pensi di andare amore mio?"

Translations

Tu mi appartieni. - You belong to me.

Non ear il tue compagno. – He was not your mate.

Dove pensi di andare amore mio? - Where do you think you are going my love?
