CHAPTER EIGHT
"I'll be back to get you in the morning okay sweetheart?" Kisa said to Kayla as she sat in the backseat of Francis car, strapped down in her booster seat.
"Ok."
"I love you."
"I love you too." Kisa leaned into the car and kissed her. Kayla clutched her teddy bear. Kisa walked to the passenger door.
"Call me when you get checked in."
"I will."
"Thank you Francis for doing this. I just don't want to subject Kayla to this or get you involved."
"You don't have to thank me Kisa. I would do anything to keep Kayla safe and you. Remember, I was your nanny when you were growing up."
She nodded, "Yeah. Alright then you should go now, the sun has set." Kisa said looking at the sky.
"Okay." Francis turned on her car and backed out of the driveway. She honked her horn before pulling off. Kisa waved until the car disappeared around a corner and into the night. She let out a heavy sigh and turned to the house. She walked back up to the house and stepped inside.
"The sun has gone down…" Laura said in a uneasy tone. Kisa shut the door and walked to the sitting room where Laura was pacing back and forth.
"Laura calm down you don't even know what's going to happen. Is there any law that says if a human kills a vampire, they'll be killed?" Emma asked.
"I don't know." Just then there was a hard knock on the door. Laura bolted out of the sitting room and up the stairs.
"Go with her." Kisa said softly. Emma looked at her young friend,
"Kisa you can't handle this alone."
"I'll be fine." Kisa said with a soft, slow smile, "Go with Laura…you know she's weak in these situations."
"Or any situation that doesn't involve sex." Emma said walking out of the sitting room and up the stairs. Kisa closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She then walked to the front door and opened it.
"I know she is here and hiding…as well she should be." Eric said. Kisa looked up at the man who towered over her and swallowed.
"She didn't mean to kill him. He attacked her." Kisa said.
"If she felt endangered, she should have let me know, that doesn't mean I would have cared but…she killed one of my kind in a time when we are low in numbers. She will be punished in anyway I please." He said in a stern, cold tone.
Kisa swallowed, "You can't touch her if I don't invite you in."
He looked down into her eyes and stared a moment, "But you will." He gave her a smirk, "I am the sheriff of this area after all so you don't really have a choice."
"I do. I can not invite you in and you won't stick around too long because the sun will rise as it always does."
"You have more spine then I thought. I took you for the typical tiny little spineless innocent human that of which your species is."
"Yeah well I can quiet when need be."
"There is more to your personality that is arousing more than my interest."
"Promise me you won't kill her."
"I will promise you nothing. How dare you even say that? Why would I promise you anything?"
"Isn't there anything else that can be done instead of me losing one of my best friends?" Kisa asked, her voice cracking.
He smirked, "Invite me in."
"How do I know that once I invite you in, you won't kill me?"
"You wouldn't know unless you invited me in. Besides, I didn't come here for you. If your waste of life friend wouldn't have murdered one of my brethren and then came here, you would not have to deal with me," He paused, "I am here to investigate as a part of my job."
Kisa swallowed as she stared up into his alluring clear blue eyes, "You can come in." Eric grinned as she stepped aside. He stepped into the house and looked down at her just as his fangs came out. When she saw this, she tried to run but he grabbed her. He backed her into the nearest wall,
"I will spare your friends life if, and only if, you become my human." (side note: THANKS TO WEIRDO-LOVER FOR THAT LINE!)
"W-what?" She stuttered both shocked and scared.
"I think you heard me." He breathed in her ear.
"What do you want from me? What does being your 'human' consist of?"
"If you agree, you'll find out."
She looked up at him, "Okay." She said.
"Tell me you will be my human."
"I will be your human. I submit to you, as long as my friend lives."
"Your friend will live and you will fully submit to me, eventually." He said. She swallowed. "Your friend is still, however, in debt to me. She will work for me without pay."
"Kisa!" Emma gasped when she came down the stairs and found her backed into a corner with Eric towering over her. Eric turned to her and hissed. Emma jumped back and looked passed him to Kisa,
"Are you alright?" She asked.
"Yes I-I'm fine."
"Did he do anything to you?"
"If I have, what are you prepared to do about it?" He asked.
"I have a cross made of sterling silver in my purse."
Eric smirked, "Really? Just how audacious are you?" Emma took a step toward the sitting room and looked at Eric. She then ran into the sitting room.
"Emma!" Kisa yelled. Eric calmly walked in the same direction. Kisa looked at the stairs and saw Laura. Kisa hurriedly walked into the sitting room and grabbed Emma's purse before she could reach it.
"Kisa!"
"Everything is fine, I settled it." She said.
"What? How?" Laura asked from behind her. Eric looked at him, his fangs still extended and sitting out slightly over his lip. Laura looked at him,
"I'm sorry Eric I didn't mean it…it just happened. It was self defense. I swear." She said her body shaking all over.
"You are debted to me."
"What do I have to do. I'll do anything to have your forgiveness."
"You will never have my forgiveness but…you do have my word that I will not kill you. Not now anyway." He said looking over to Kisa.
"What do you want me to do?"
"You will work for me, without pay, until I grow tired of you," Laura nodded her head furiously, "And as apart of the agreement…Kisa will be my human."
"What?" Emma asked looked at Kisa.
"I have bigger business to attend to. I expect to see you tomorrow evening Laura. I will see you soon Kisa.." He said giving her a smile before leaving in the blink of an eye. Kisa sighed.
"Kisa…I-" Laura stuttered.
"It's okay Laura."
"No it's not. Do you know what that means?"
"What?"
"Being a vampire's human."
"What does it mean?"
"It means that you belong to him and only him. That you are under his protection and no other man, neither human or vampire, can touch you. You can't be romantically involved with any other man. You are basically his property. How are you going to handle that and you have Kayla to take care of?" Emma said.
"You shouldn't have done that Kisa," Laura said.
"You have no clue what kind of world you are about to enter."
