This is a short chapter- the next few will be up probably within the next half an hour. It's amazing how busy you can get- sorry about the wait.. Also, please review, if you read my story- I like hearing good and bad criticism. It doesn't have to be awe-inspiring but I'd really appreciate some opinions. It keeps me going.
Cate squirmed, her large emerald eyes huge with anticipation. She'd been sitting in his lap for a few hours now. He kept telling her she'd see her daddy soon. So far- no show, but Cate was determined.
"Cate," The Ashareth's voice was huge in her small ears, his voice coy and silky, "Are you upset?"
Cate stared at him anxiously.
"You're fidgeting," He told her softly.
"Daddy," Cate demanded.
"He's not here." His face was distant, as if he wasn't really paying attention to her.
Cate's lower lip trembled. "Daddy," She begged in a whisper.
"He's done an exceptional job making you too attached." He said, eyes narrowed.
Cate studied him, unsure of what to think. Vampire after vampire had come in, Ashareth answering them with patient boredom. It had been hours of steady droning. Cate was exhausted, and just wanted Jacob.
"Who are you?" She demanded loudly, her little voice ringing in the marble room. She was angry. The court of vampires turned their cold faces her way.
Ashareth answered her quietly, seemingly unaware of the many gazes upon him.
"I am your new daddy."
She glanced at him, puzzled. "Daddy?" She asked.
"Yes. Your new one."
"No. I want Daddy."
"I am your daddy now. Your past one will no longer be around."
No Jacob. That's all she'd understood. No more Jacob. She glanced at him desperately for another meaning, but there was none in his crimson eyes.
Cate screamed.
