I know its been awhile sense I have updated but I made up for it by giving you the longest chapter yet! ANd to Jfrack thanks a bunch for keeping me on my toes! Xoxo Talia Fosness
I woke up feeling weak and tired even though I probably slept the day away. I opened my eyes, well eye, the other one is currently swollen shut. I tried to sit up but then groaned out in pain.
"Shh lay back down love your not strong enough just yet," i heard a soothing male voice say.
"Whose there?" I askled in a shakyy voice frightened.
"Anthony, i am the one who is taking care of you, you got pretty banged up my sweet," He answered me from a distanced
"Anthony.." I let his name form in my mouth. It sounded sweet and genuine.
"I don't mean to be blunt but may I ask your name?" He asked me in a friendly voice.
"Naomi, Naomi Scarlet Raven," I answered him. He came out of the what seemed like a closet he was butttonig up his shirt. I thought of what he would look like naked, I blushed deeply. He just rose an elegant eyebrow and smirked.
Oh God hes a vampire too, and he probably just read my mind, Jesus Christ why do vampires have to be so annoying? I thought to my self
"Well that wasn't very nive of you to think that I'm annoying, but I forgive only because you thought of seein gme naked." He chuckled as he moved towards me, I blushed and turned my head.
"Naomi please do not turn away you look even more beautiful when you blush," He said nest to my ear making me jump then groan in pian for the sudden movement of my body.
"i'm sorry for that, I didn't man to frighten you." He said regretfully. I felt a pang of sadness for for I didn't want him to be sad.
"Its ok, I'm fine really, theres nothing to be sorry about, the only one who needs to apologize is... him," To frightenrd to say his name.
"Anthony caught on to this,
"There is no need to be frightend of him any more I won't let him hurt you again," He vowed,
"Your the beautiful angel who picked me up and carried me away," I gasped
"You think that I'm a beautiful angel?" He asked smirking. I blushed again more deeply. I just nodded my head,
"You, Naomi, is the beautiful one here, your yellow innocent eyes, your wild untamable hair, your long legs and curvy body," He said walking to me now in a vampire move he was face to face with me only a few inches apart, I looked at his face, I raised my hand before wht I knew was happening I touch his face with my finger tips laying my hand gracefully on his cheek he leaned his cheek further on my hand and purred.
"And your full, smoooth, pink lips," He said then suddenly kissed me. It wasn't forceful like Giovonni's, it was romantic as if he wanted it to last forever, I knew I wanted it to. But sadly it ended with a loud bang.
we borke our kiss and looked at the door,
"WHAT THE HEll ARE YOU DOING ANTHONY!" Giovonni yelled. Oh hell.'
I began to shake looking at Anthony.
"Leave, can't you see shes been through enough? For Christ sake she is shaking with fear." Anthony yelled at Giovonni. Giovonni with lightining spped was before me.
"Ah what the hell!" I yelled resisting the urge to moe away from him only because it would give me more pain the I was in already.
"Nsomi I kow that you don't want to see me-" he began
"your damn right I don't." I cut in. He looked down at his hands.
"I didn't mean to strike you, I was in a rage and then it didn't matter who I hurt I wanted to be alone. I didn't realize that I hit you until moments later. When I realized what I had done I ran out of my room to see your only your bllod but not you. I raced around the castel in search of you, then I found you in Anthony's room, I tried to explain to you, but then you went into shock and Anthony gave you something to calm you down and sleep, I left and when I heard 't you were awake i came here immdeatly." He said starring into my eyes, I wasn't sure if I believed him, I looked at Anthiny he nodded his head.
"Do you forgive me my sweet?" I wanted to gag when he said my sweet. He has hurt me many times now, believing we had something, then making out with Jane of all people, then talking about my parent, seeing me naked, had the aldacity to hold me as I cried my eyes out, then sexually turn me on then leaving me, and when I tried to comfort him he hit me! His cousin had to help me.
"I don't know." I said a little to harshly he looked up at me first stunned then angry.
He got up and looked down at me,
"I came in here apologizing for what I did, which I never do, I treat you like a princess and you don't forgive me?" He said in a cold voice. I trembled.
"You think that I would forgive you after you believing we had something Giovonni, then making out with Jane of all people, talking about my parents, seeing me naked then held me as I cried my eyes out, then sexually turned me on leaving me standing there like a fool, then when I tried to comfort you, you fucking hit me! As I laid there in my own blood and tears your cousin, Anthony, is tthe one who came to help me, not you, him. How in hell do you think I will forgive you. Now your standing up glarring at me like I've done something wrong." I yelled at him wincing so often because of what I'm guessing is broken ribs.
"First of all its King Giovonni, secondly we had nothing to even think I would fall for a human like you, third off i will "make out" as you humans put it, or fuck who ever I please, forthly I will talk about whom ever I am A God Damn Vampire after all, fifthly I can see you naked when I please I can even rape you if I wanted, sixthly I held you because I felt a ounce of guilt but now regreting it, I will turn you on then I'll have my way woth your virgin pussy making you scream my name so loud Africa will hear you, I will leave you where I like naked or not, seventhly I said I was sorry for hurting you and leaving you to die, Anthony, by the way thank you for helping my sex toy, would have done it because he has a bit of human emotion left." Giovonni spat in my face.
Without thinking I smaked his face so hard that his face had to turn with it. My tattoo was tingling, I felt my eyes change color, my body was barley levitating off the bed the bandages ripped of me as my body healed it self. My hair was rising off my back and spread out through the air.
"You dare treat me without respect?" It was my voice but I wasn't talking I wanted to say it but I wasn't going to but my mind thought differently.
"You dare say I am a mere sex toy, and that you could rape me, leave me where you please, you say you will make me scream so loud Africa could hear me? HAHA! You pathetic vampire, your a discarce to all vampires, you call your self a king, a man, worthy of being a ruler? A true man would never lay their hands on a girl. If I wanted I could kill you, you ignorent boy." I scream my voice echoing off the wall. I was now almost touching the ceiling it was like I was flying. I glarred down at Giovonni's frightened face. I laughed but it came out sold heartly. He stood up fast about to race out the door but with a wave of my hand the door slammed shut.
"Hurt me again, My Lord, and you will pay." I warned him in a demonic voice.
"I will do what I please your nothing to me!" Giovonni yelled. My eyes then turned red and I began leitating over to him slowly about to cause him pain but I was stopped
"Naomi, don't," I heard Anthony plead. I turned to look at him I could feel my eyes changing back to my normal yellow eyes, I dropped my arms to my side. I slowly levitated down towards the floor. When my feet touched the floor I felt all my power drain out of me and before I collasped to the ground Anthony caught, picking me up bridal style, and laying me on the bed. I was so worn out couldn't speak.
"Giovonni, I think its time for you to leave." Anthony said glarring at him.
"This is my home, I will leave when I please." He said in a deadly voice. I glarred at him and thought of fire. Suddenly Giovonni's pants burst into flames, he screamed and tore his pants off revealing half burn half not boxers. I smirked and saw Anthony resisting to smile but it came any way.
"What are you." Giovonni asked.
"I don't know, I'm sorry though," I said suddenly feeling guilty, i was no monster. A tear slid down my cheek. Anthony, suddenly next to me brushed it away,
"Do not cry love, please do not it breaks my heart," Anthony said.
"You have nothing to be sorry for, I was a idiot, power went to my head, I would never dream of hurting you again, mever rape you, but I would love to have sex eith you, I don't know what came over me, all this stress, Natalia.." Giovonni trailed off.
"Natalia? Who is she?" I asked
"She was my wife the love of my life, my soul purpose of living, back then I only drank from animals or criminals, My wife was pregant and she was so tired that I was going to bring back blood for her after I hunted. I was gone, for maybe a hour, I came back to see my wife on the floor blood all around her with a stake through her heart, I rushed over to her I was crying as she was tooo, I asked her what had happen, she told me 10 mintues after I left a hunter came in looking for me, I was to be killed for being the undead, when sh etold the hunter where that I was gone that I had left weeks ago, ttrying to save me, the hunter knew she was lying, my wife was so hungry that she unwilling tried to attack him, he realized she was a vampire, he staked her... She died in my arms along with my unborn son. I lost both of them, they are dead because I was gone, because i left, and when mother brought her up-" He said
"Is that why you were mad?" I suddenly asked. He nodded.
"I am so sorry Giovonni, but her death wasn't your fault, you didn't know what ws going to happen, even if you were there who nows if you could of saved her, but you need to realize its not your fault." I said in a sad tired voice from all that witchy voodoo demonic shit.
"But I could of-"
"No Giovonni now stop with this nonsense. its not your fault." I said cutting him off
"But" him
"No" me
"I coul-" him
"Shut u-" me
"She wo" him
"Knock it o-" me
Would yo ujust list-" him
"No so sto-" me
"I'm ust tryin-" him
"I don't give a sh-" me
"Naomi-" him
"Don't Naomi me-" me
"Natalia woould be ali-" him
"Shut up-" me
You shut-" him
"Don't tell me to shu-" me
"I just did so-" him
"oh so we are going to play this gam-" me
"what game-" him
"Do not interupt me-" me
"I just did-" him
"SHut up!" me
"FINE!" him
My eyes became sleepy I had to force them open. Giovonni bowed to me then to Anthony but before he left I said
"Giovonni.." I called after him
He turned around slowly and looked at me with a smirk. I smiled back
"I forgive you, but if you ever touch me like that again I'll put you on fire again." I threatened jokingly. He stuck his tongue at me and I weakly threw a pillow at him which landed two feet from me.
"Great throw," Giovonni said sarcasticly
"Smart ass,' I said sleepy like.
He laughed and left the room.
I laid my head back on the pillow I reopened my eyes and saw Anthony in a chair in the far right corner starring at me.
"What?" I mummbled
"Your beautiful and powerful, you surprise me my love," He said with a uneven smirk. I blushed and he smiled even wider. I wanted to be in his arms again.
"Anthony?"
"Yes darling?" He questioned
I held out my arms like a small child would to be held, he got up and walked slowly to me. He picked me up and i wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist He chuckled slightly. I leand my head on his sholder as he sat down on his bed I unwrapped my legs and he sat e on his lap, my arms still around his waist and my head on his chest. He was brushing my hair and was humming softly what sounded a little russian. I began to doze off. One of my arms slid off his neck and my head fell backwards. I was so tired I didn't care that he was holding me up. He gentally rockec me back and forth. My hair swaying in the same motion.
"Mi amor, te amo, tu grande ojos son guapa, tu amor es muy linda." He spoke in spanish to me
"My love, I love you, you big eyes are beautifful, and your love is very pretty." He repeated in english. I smiled tired like.
"Your beautiful smiles makes my dead heart feel alive, and your lovely body make me tense up, your voice is like the finest music in the whole world." He said.
at this part my body was so drained that it was limp in his arms.
He laid me down and put me under the covers. I felt him ger off the bed all I could d is whimper. He sat back down quickly. He moulded his body to mine, it fit perfectly. He kissed my head and hummed to me. I felt content, and soon fell asleep.
FLASHBACK/DREAM_
"Naomi run, go hide like we practiced!" My mother said to me.
"But mama don't want to leave you!" I cried begging her not to leave I knew that something terrible was going to happen.
"You must my dear, don't worry we will see eachother again someday, but always remeber mama and I love you very much baby,' My father sadi a tear slid down his cheek.
I hugged them both tightly, my mama took off her wedding ring and papa did the same, she gave it to me.
"As long as you have these we will always be with you, I love you bebe," My mother wept, she kissed me oner last time. My papa did too.
"Now run little one, do not come out no matter what you hear." My papa said,
I nodded and ran to hide under the low seated couch that hid me like I was invisible.
"Where is she!" I heard a male voice yell.
"She is gone and you will never find her, you cant have her." I heard my mama yell.
"If you do not give her to me I will kill you both and will come back and find her when she is 17." He snarled.
"You will never find her, we will not let you have her." My papas said
I heard a loud snap then a thud, then I saw my mamas head rolled under the couch face to face with it her eyes wide with terror with tear falling. I slapped my hands over mouth form screaming. My tears fell down my face like pouring rain. I closed my mamas eyes and kissed her lifeless head,
"Mama I am so sorry," I whispered to her.
"Give me the girl or you will have the fate of your of your stubborn wife." The guy yelled
"Never." I heard papa say, I heard a loud thud, my papa was lying down with his head to the side. He saw me and put a finger to his lips shushing me. The suddenly a man who was beautiful but horrible jumped on my father and bit his neck. My father howled out in pain trying to fight him off but he began to grow limp his lifeless body layed ther looking at me, I resist the urge to scream at the monster to tell him to leave us alone. When the monster was done, he grabbed my papas head and rippedit off throwing it to the wall. I couldn't help it, I screamed a deaf, ear drum breaking scream. My foot was grabbed and I was pulled from under neith the couch. The man pulled me up so I was eye level to him.
He had deathly pale skin, with orange eyes starring at me, his high cheek bones and strong jaw made him look my intimmidating. He was beautiful but I hated him, he killed my parents. i was alone now.
"I promised you parents that i wouldn't get you until you were 17, I willl keep this promise, but when you turn 17 I will return and take you, my bride, you will be mine for ever." He vowed hearing sirens he quickly kissed my cheek and I dropped to the floor no longer being held up by the beautiful monster, I stayed in that position until the cops came. I didn't speak until I was 13.
The mans face flashed in my head.
I screamed out and saw that Anthony was holding me tighly and was shushing me. I held on to him feircly and sobbed i played the nightmare back to my self. I knew he knew he readd my mind. I cried until no more tears came, I just then began to whimper. I slowly slipped into a dreamless sleep.
Only 11 more days until my 17 birthday. Halloween night is when hes coming to get me, just liked he vowed. October 31st will be the worst birthday ever.
And with that thought I dreamt of nothing for I feel like I am nothing.
When I woke uo I saw Anthony starring down at me. I felt self blood rise to my face. I looked down at my hands.
"Naomi what is the matter my dear?" He asked suddenly
"I ... nothing." I said
"No please tell me." He oushed a little
"Uh.. I uh.. Ok I feel like a whore. Giovonni has seen me naked and has kissed me and now I kissed you.." I drifted it off
"Naomi, for one you are nothing close of being a whore, Giovonni took advantage of your lonliness, and for two..." He hesitated
"What?" I sadi with dread in my voice. What did he do?
" I saw you naked too, and I bathed you..." He said.
I suddenly felt violated even more. I hugged my self. Why would he want to see this ugly body, all scarred and with this birthmark.
He read my mind and growled. I just sat there.
"YOU are NOT ugly, and your unique birthmark is rather ravishing." He stated. I laughed and he joined in with me. I heard my stomach growl. Realizing that I havent eaten sense I have gotton here. Anthony noticed and was gone with in second he returned with a bowl of fruit. Grapes, berries, strawberries, fresh cut apple and orange slices and holy cherry nucker, is that a mango. I love mangos! The last time I had one was when I was... 11. I put down the bowl and threw m arms around him. Taken my surprise but then he relaxed and hugged me back.
Last time it felt wonderful, like i belong there but now it seemed awkward, and untasteful. I patted his head awkwardly and stood up going to the bathroom. I stripped my clothes and filled the rather large tub of steaming hot water I pour some Jasmine soap in side making it a bit bubblely. I stepped in and sank in untill all that was showing was my head and my hair that was floating at the top of the tub. I closed my eyes letting the water take away all aches away. But not een three seconds later a knock came to the door.
"Come in." I said in an irritated voice. Anthony walked placed the bowl next to me and closed the door. I reached out and took the mango into my hand. I bit down greedidly.
I let out a moan when the juices dripped down my chin. When I finished the mango I started on the berries all were so sweet and sour, evened out perfectly. Finally I ate a strawberry. Oh Lord they were great. I was stuffed. Washing my hair and rinsing it I washed my body. Sighing as i got out. I wrapped the towel around myself. I walk out to see a sliver evening gown on the bed with sparkly sliver flats. it was strapless and was like silk and shinny. There was some sparkle dasheed here and there with yellow butterflies in side the sparkle. It was so pretty.
I ran and got dressed in it. It fit perfectly along with the shoe. I put my hair in a old fashion up do, leaving a ffew strans out the ran down my back. I put in my father and mothers rings. I starred at my self in the mirror. I didn't need make up my lips were already a deep crimsin blood red color. I full eye lashes were already long enough and I had natural pinkness in my cheeks.
I looked beautiful.
"Yes you do love, but we have company and you will be joining us." Anthony said holding his arns out to me I awkwardly took it. He was weard a black simple suit but his long blonde hair was tied back with a red ribbon. Beautiful as always. I sighed.
"Who is it?" I asked curiously
"Thhe ruler of our kind." He replyed
"Wait I thought that Giovonni was king?" I asked confusingly
He laughed and nodded. But I was confused he looked a little annoyed.
"Giovonni is our king, but Leonardo is the ruler of all of us. Its like Leonardo is the father and Giovonni is our nanny." He said. I just mouth 'o'.
"Why do I need to be there thoug I am not a vampire?" I pointed out. He made a face that told me he would rather not talk about it.
"Anthony." I demanded
He sighed.
"He wants all women to be there that is at the house he is looking for a mate,"
"Hahaha. Its not gunna be me." I laughed. He shudderd.
Hmm that was weird.
We walked into the dinning room. All the girls had shorrt dresses on. Showing mostly everything. Jane was wearing a red dress the was short enough that if she bent over you would see her ass. Whore. I felt kinda ill dressed. I was the only one that had a actual gown with out heels and not showing off my goods like they were candy. Jane lookd me over and laughed. Didn't that bitch learn her lesson before. About to make her feel pain again, Giovonni spoke.
"Family, pets- I mean women, we have gathered here today for the Ruler. He has come here to find a mate all human women please stand infront of the table, yes good, line up pleasse, very good,"
I felt that something wasn't right. I moved to the back trying to make my self smaller.
"I here by present the Ruler off our peolpe, Sir Leonardo Grantnessi, Madam Elizabeth Grantnessi, and his fellow friends and guards."
Out came the man I never wanted to see again. The man who took my life away, the man who vowed to marry me and make me his, the man who is the Ruler of monsters.
I bit my tongue from screaming I planted my feet still. I felt like a staue.
Why is he here? I still had 5 days left! This wasn't fair. He promised! BUt he is a monster, never expect anything different. Everybody clapped but me. I shrank further back.
"My dear people, for a long time I hsve serached for my mate, and tonight I am here to claim her, for she will be our new queen of us!" Every one cheered.
"Not me, please not me." I whispered quietly. he jjumped down from the stage and stalked towards us. He looked at the girls and seemed unsatisfied.
Oh Lord hes looking for me.
"Anthony, you said that she was here." He said in a deadly tone. Anthony? He is working for this creep? He kissed me and held me! MY anger grew and the feeling of betrayal made me even more angrier. I shot a powerful invisible pain to him. He collasped in pain howling.
"Jesus! Make it stop! Naomi please stop!" he howled. Leonardo looked around trying to find me. I let Anthony out of my lock and he fell to the floor panting.
"She...(gasp) is here..(gasp) my Lord." Anthony said.
"I see that." He said turning around looking at all the women. I felt the hate radiating off them. Mostly jealousy. You all can have him1 Be my guest! I don't want him. I wanted to yell.
"Naomi come out." He ordered.
Yeah sure like I'm going to show my self. Psft he can shove that demand of his up where the sun doesn't shine.
"Naomi, I can feel you I can hear your blood in your veins, I can smell the ppower coming off your skin.' He said in a haunting tone.
Great so he can smell me. Like a friigin dog. Woof Woof, here little vampire freak, you want the balll? You want the ball? Go get it!
"I am no dog, my love." He said with a smirk on his face, the vampires laughed all together.
I can ssee you but you cant see me, and for the little smart asses laughing didn't you just see what happened to Anthony? I thought in my head. All the vampires stopped laughing.
"I don't need to see you love I can smell you. You smell like your mother you know." He informed me. i felt tears in my eyes I felt my knees weaken I stopped breathing.
Shut up. I thought to him.
"Never. Your mother would have been alive along with your father if they werent so stubborn and just let me take you." He said. I clenched my fists.
You know nothing. I will never love you. I thought,
"You will, cant you feel it angel, the tie between us?" He asked. I all the sudden feel my heart clench, my head began to throb. I grabbed my head with my hands.
Stay away from me. I yelled in my head. I saw Leonardo get pushed back by an unseen force. I did that.
"You are strong little one stronger then your parent ever were." He continued
Please stop! Please just leave me be! I begged him. With my eyes closed I snapped the open to see him right in front of me. I sank to my knees and covered my face and sobbed.
"Naomi. I will make you happy Ipromise in time you will come to realize you love me." He whispered to me. I sobbed harder.
"My people, I have chosen! Naomi Scarlet Raven will be your new queen!" He announced. I heard all the vampires cheer and clap.
"Lets celebrate! Party, tonight!" All the vampires cheered again and music started playing. The lights dimmed.
I felt someone pick me up I looked and saw Leonardo was carrying me. Knowing that fighting was futile I dodn't even bother.
He sat down on top of the stage on his thrown, with me on his lap.
I felt love for him. I need to hate him! I had to! But ths nagging feeling is saying that he is my everything. He was right I do love him. But I will never forgive him. I wish I could hate him.
"NAomi," He said getting my attention but I didn't bother looking up.
"I know you are angry with me, Let me explain though please." I heard him beg but I still refused to look at him.
"All vampires have soul mates, I have lived longer then youcould ever imagine. I went on a search for my mate, I swore to protect you and I wouldn't let anyone be in the way of getting to you... When I found you I confronted your parents, but they wouldn't have it, I begged and bargined, Iwould hae given them anything just for you to be with me. Finally I came back and the beast insode me took over, I killed your parents I am truwly sorry for that, I didn't mean for that to happen, I heard youscream and I snapped out of it. When I sae you I knew that you had seen everything. I still regret it to this dar." He said with a blood tears running down his cheek. I brushed it awahe kisssed my hand. Silled fell asl
