He looked shocked.
"Should we go inside?" He asked and motioned to my house.
"No, let's go yours."
His face looked scared.
"Okay, but I have something to tell you first."
"What?"
"I'm the vampire king of Louisiana."
I didn't really know what to say to that. It seemed to me that, in the last hour Bill had gotten a new hair cut, gotten new clothes and become a King.
"King?"
"I killed Queen Sophie Anne."
"Oh."
"Come, I will tell you at mine."
I followed him wordlessly.
The large grassy garden in front of the house was covered with security guards. Some bowed to Bill, some stared at me, all looked curious.
We got to the door and a guard asked,
"Prisoner? Or guest?"
"Guest, she is always welcome." I snorted.
We walked in and he took me to the living room, I noticed that the rooms looked different. More modern, everything was done up nicely.
I sat down on the new couch that was very comfortable.
"Can I get you anything?" He asked, sounding almost nervous.
"Diet coke?" I replied, not wanting any alcohol to blur my thoughts.
He brought me over a small glass bottle, opened it with his hand, and gave it to me.
He sat down himself and started.
"I guess I should begin the night I asked you to be mine, forever. I had no idea what was going to happen, then you said no."
"I said I had to think about it."
"Okay, then you said you had to think about it. I thought it was a no. I sat there, debating whether or not I should stay. I thought, if I left it might be easier for you. But I decided to stay, then I listened. I could hear you crying, I was about to go after you, but then someone snuck up behind me and silvered my neck."
"You heard me crying?"
He nodded.
