Giovonni POV
I left her standing there her left breast yearing for my touch and I was happily going to do what ever her body wanted but my mother needed me. It was "important".
Frusterated I walk into the dinningroom walking up to omy mother.
"You wished to speak with me mother." I said with annoyance in my voice.
"Yes dear we have company visiting soon," She said with slight hesitation.
"Oh? And who may that be." I said with a roll of my eyes.
"Anthony, your cousin," She said looking down at her hands in her lap.
I looked in straight in the eyes. Did she just say that Anthony was coming? Here to the palace?
"Excuse me? Did I hear you correctly? Everytime he comes he brings trouble and nonsense, that I don't have time for," I said turning my back to her ready to walk out.
"Giovonni, please his mother will have a tight leash on him, he only wants to spend time with you dear," she said quickly.
I laughed cold heartdly.
"Spend time with me? Are you joking with me? Last time he was here he killed 7 of my toys, 7 mother! 7!" I yelled I saw her flinch back. I felt amusment run through me.
"Are you worryed about that human girl? Naomi?" She asked in a hush tone.
"What is it to you?" I snapped
"Giovonni, you cant possibly believe that you love her, let alone like her." She said with a roll of her eyes. I growled at her and saw her look at me stunneed. She quickly recovered and said in a cold voice,
"She will never replace Natalia."
I snapped my eyes at her, how dare she bring up my dead love, the one I mourned over for 300 hundred years.
I ran up to her with my vampire speed my face just inches away from hers.
"Don't you dare bring her bring her up." I snarled at her.
"She is dead! Gone! She will never come back! And to think that you would even consider replacing her with a mere human is beond me!" She spat.
My eyes turned black with rage my body shaking violently.
"Shut up." I commanded
"NATALIA IS GONE GIOVONNI SHE WILL NEVER BE HERE AGAIN. YOU LEFT HER TO DIE! YOU LEFT HER TO PARISH AS YOU WERE HUNTING!" She yelled in my face.
She was right if I hadn't left to hunt she would still be alive, the hunters wouldn't of came and killed her, if only I had been here to protect her.
"Giovonni." She yelled at me to catch my attention.
"Rhys!" I yelled
I saw my brother here in a matter of seconds.
"Yes my Lord."
"Take this creature out of my sight," I commanded. Rhys looking stund grabbed my mother by the arms and dragged her out of the room. My breathing became haggard as my anger rose. I needed to be alone. I stalked out of the room only seeing red. I walked down the hall way that led me to my private lounge.
Naomi POV.
I got dressed in a silk robe and out on a pair of slippers that Giovonni left for me. He was so gentle with me. His word that he said still hurt me but I am willing to forgive. There is something about him that made my heart skip a beat when he looks at me, my throat dry when he speaks or laugh.
I walked to the door and peaked out about to close the door and go lay back down I saw what looked like a very upset Giovonni walk down the hall. Something was wrong. I needed to help him, to see if I can comfort him as he did me.
He walked past the door I ran after him as he stalked away from me.
"Giovonni please wait!" I yelled as I cought up he seemeed not to hear me. I put my handd on his sholder trying to stop him. He turned around with his vampire speed and as quickly as I knew it I was down the hall on the floor angled awkwardly my body in pain but my right cheek burned. He just hit me. THe wind was gone from my lungs as I gasped for air. Pain extened to my head. I felt something warm and wet on my head. With the last strength I had left I lifted my hand to feel my head I brought my hand to my face and saw my blood spread acrossed my hand. Tears flooded my eyes and spilled over my cheeks.
I saw that he was right in front of me leaning over me wiht hate in his eyes. I couldn't speak, all I did was look up at him with tear blurrying my vision. HE whipped around and wentin to his bed chamber. Leaving me ly on the floor in a puddle of my blood. What had I done to anger him so? Did I not look pretty enough, had I not kissed him well enough? What did I do?
Tears leaked down and ran with the blood coming from my mouth and nose.
My sobbed racked thrugh my chest making me gasp for air once again. I began to see black dots and wnt in and out of consiousness. But before I completely blacked out I saw an angel type creaturw with white blonde hair and forest green eyes leaning down and picked me up.
A scream excaped my lips as he picked me up bridal style. The pain became to intenes, before the darkness consumed me I heard this angel say
"Shush my sweet I'm not going to hurt you, you are safe with me, I wont let him hurt you again." Then I blacked out completely.
Anthony's POV.
I smelled an over whemling scent of blood. The blood smeeled more beautifully then any other creature I have come to meet. I followed the scent rushing woth great speed. Finally I saw her in the hall way that led to Giovonni's room. I saw this beautiful creature spread across the floor her body broken in several places. Her pale brown skin was damped with her blood and her wild black surly hair clumped with the blood that had clotted from her head wound. Her skinny frame struggled to breathe, broken bones I'm guessing. Her silk rod=be turn red from the blood surrounding her. What had happened here?
Using my powers I replayed the images in my head as she tryed to comfort Giovonni and as he smaked her with great force throwing her across the hall away from him. What the hell came over him? All she was trying to do is comfort him. That monster hurt this beautiful creature. Tears pouring down her face I leaned over her, her eyes fluttered opened showing off her amazing yelow eyes that were blurry from the tears. I leaned over and picked her up bridal style with great gentalness. Even though I was so careful a scream came from her mouth as I moved her. I pitied this girl, this dark angel that was hurt. Looking down at her small broken frame I said
" "Shush my sweet I'm not going to hurt you, you are safe with me, I wont let him hurt you again." I promised her. Her eyes fluttered closed emerging her into her slumber. I walked down the hall and went to my room that was assigned to me. I laid her softly on the bed careful not to disrupt her. I slowly took off her blood soaked robe, I ran to the bath room and filled the tube with hot water, waiting til it filled completly I turned it off, and returned to the beauty laying on my bed. I picked her up carefully and walked to the bathroom. I slid her in the tube carefully letting the water emerge around her.
Rolling up my sleves I got the wash cloth arond soap and began to wash the blood way from her beautiful body. Slowly and with great care I began to clean the wound on her head. My hands ran there seleves over her body, a wanting grew inside me but I oushed it away and grabbed atowel wrapping it around her self as I took her out of the now red water.
Returning to the room I placed her in a night gown and put her under the covers. I went t =o the closet and brought out a first aid kit. Putting her head in my lap I banaged her head and toreso. Propering her head up with pillows I went to the chair and sat down. Looking over at this creature on my bed resisting the erge to rush over to her and hold her. When she woke I will want to know her, her name, age, history, everything. But unntil then I will wait until she wakes.
Giovonni's POV
How dare my mother talk about her? Natalia, the only girl that I hae loved and cared for, the one who brought the light to my darkness. Who made me feel less of a monster. I could never forget her nor replace her.
But when I am around Naomi, I feel my dead heart wake, she brings the laughter to me and makes me realize what life I have been missing.
Naomi's beautiful yellow eyes and her smile that brightens the room, and curvy body that completes mine, and her wild hair that makes her look untamable. That mark on her body brings everything together as if glueing puzzle pieces.
Her heart beat makes my body quiver, and the soundof her blood rushing makes the beast of lust inside of me awaken.
Her beautiful face with her perfect soft lips... She tried to comfort me but I hit her-
Wait I hit her. My God, what have I dine. I said to myself as I rushed out into the hall way only to see a puddle of her blood on the floor. I rushed to it dropping to my knees. Have I killed her? Where was she.
"NAOMI!" I yelled out. What have I done. This beauty is all that I have that makes me feel whole again.
With vampire speed I rushed about the castel on attempt to find her. The n the smell in the air changed. Anthiny was here. Oh Gods what if he has my Naomi? Rushing towards the room he usually gets when he comes to visit. TUrning I saw him with his arms at his side leaning against the wall gracefully glarring at me.
I rushed up to him wiht my hand around his throat I pressed him agianst the wall.
"WHERE IS SHE!" I yelled at him. I heard a faint heart beat coming from the other side of his door. I turned releasing him about ti enter his room he threw me back.
"She is asleep and resting, she is in a coma you vile idiot, she has horrible injurys eight broken ribs, fractured skull, puntured lungg, broken eye socket anf cheek bone. What did she do to deserve this?" Anthony hissed at me. I damaged her that badly? Oh Gods.
"I-I mother angered me and I didn't- I didn't-" I tried to explain but he cut me off.
"You hurt her so severly that she is in a coma because your mother angered you? You did this to her because she tried to comfort you while you were upset?" He sneered at me.
I couldn't say anything to expalin to him,
"I didn't mmean to! I didn't realize it until a couple mintues after wards!" I cried
"You know if I was not here to find her lying on the floor she would have died in a matter of minutes before you could realize what you have done." He told me coldly.
I knew he was right. I had to see her.
"Move aside I must see her."I ordered him.
"And let you hurt her again? I think not." HE said in a deadly voice.
"Move aside." I ordered him. He stood his ground. I roughly pushed him out of the way quickly before he could stop me. I was in his room. I saw her on the bed witha banage on her head a breathing machine attached along with several needles hooked up to beeping machines.
Gods, I am a monster. I looked away quickly.
"This is what you did." Anthony whispered to me so she wouldn't wake up.
"I didn't mean to," I said quietly,
"But you did." He replyed as he walked over to her and gentlely brushed her cheek with his fingers. I growled in protest. Anthony roll his eyes. I stood there looking at her, her face was swollen her lips chapped and cut her nose red and puffed along with her blsck eye.
She began to stir and groaned out in pain loudly. She began to whimper, I was at her side in seconds. So was Anthony. She was mummblung something that I couldn't understand. Then her eyes fluttered open. HEr eyes focusing she saw me and scream alittle pushing her away from me but she only moved half an inch before she cried out in pain.
"Please!" She craoked.
"I'm -I'm sssorry I didn't mean to u-u-upset you, please just d-d-don't hurt me, I s-s-swear i'll do whatever you want," She begged me. I fekt my chest tightened. i could- would never hurt her again, I tried to touch her cheek but she flinched bakc and mained in pain as her body protested to move any further, I let my hand drop.
She became frantic and her machines beeping became fast. Anthiny pushe me away from her as he started to inject her with something she began to calm down and the beeps slowed. Her eyes became sleepylike.
She looked up at Anthony. A teat slid down her cheek. Anthiny brushed it away with out her flinching away. Jelaously tightened around my chest. I glarred at Anthiny he began to move away from her but sh ebegan to whimper,
"Please, don't leave me," sh ebegged in a quiet sleepy whisper to Anthony. Anthony lifted her gentaly with out causingher pain and held her in this lap. She clinged to him with little strength she. Wishing I was the one who was holding her. She closed her eyes and fell back into her slumber.
"When she wakes let me no." I told him while looking at him. He jus nodded slightly. Before I left the room I heard her mummble,
"Anthony," I felt rage in my chest but I couldn't let it show. I will make it up to her, if its the last thing I do.
But how?
