CHAPTER TWO: TAKEN…NO CHOICE…NO FREEDOM
NOMARL POV
I hate the dark, I know right stupid but I do, only the freakiest shit happens in the dark. So right now as we and by we, I mean myself and 5 other girls are sitting in the back of some van, it is dark as hell, you probably wonder "how does she know there are 5 other girls in the van if it pitch black in there?" I got a pretty good look of how many we were when they loaded up the last girl about an hour ago probably she looks 16 years old but they don't care, now do they. Someone puts black bags over our heads.
the van doors open and we are ushered out like slaves with our hands tied behind out backs and walking in single file line. We walk for a while, I can hear people talking, elevator music, doors closing, us moving up, a ding sound of the elevator stopping and the doors opening again. As soon as we are out of the elevator, the bags are removed , the light is blinding at first but I get used to it. I look around the hallway we are in, the auburn walls are covered we old portraits of man and woman, young and old and also of landscapes of rolling meadows, big trees, lakes and rivers. We stop at an enormous double door were " The Hulk" and an old woman, short with white hair and grey wise eyes are whispering for some time then the woman turns to us.
"okay ladies, when you enter the hall, you keep your heads downs and speak when you are spoken to, you address the King as your grace, my liege etc…with respect!" he voice raising with every word, we remain quite.
"am I understood ladies?" we say yes in unison, I can see what is behind that so-called calm face she's putting on, one she will explode when she has no control over someone or thing.
The doors open and we lead in, I keep my head down, studying the polished dark wood floor, whispers sounding a swarm of bees erupts as soon as we enter the hall, someone pushes me down roughly onto my knees, a musical voice like peaches and cream, like an angel's voice and god's voice or like…it's just beautiful.
"Is this all of them" a voice that demands respect, that has control, is calm and sweet, kind yet cold and superior to yours. An unemotional, ruthless, dark, obedience, fearful…voice I know that voice.
He very had to say much, his presence only made people shake in their boots. He would speak in class and everyone would listen, he had authority and power over…everyone in school looks like he has more power now over people. He had or maybe still has a temper that could shake the whole world, he is intimidating…he is…a King.
"yes my liege this is all of them" I hear foot -steps, approaching us. A cold hand touches my face, forcing me to look up and into the face of the "stranger". Pitch black shadowy eyes, luscious lips, raven black hair that reaches his shoulders, sharp cheek bones, but a baby face or is that just my imagination.
"Jade Winters, it's been a while" he removes his hand from my face, I smirked slightly.
"Yea well…not long enough I'm afraid Logan McShane " and I hate his egotistical ass. "The Hulk" grabs my shoulder and tightens the grip, I try to shake him off but I'm failing.
" now Brandon be nice to our guests" he lets me go.
"Yea, be a good boy" he growls at me?.
"still the same?" I look down again.
"not a damn thing changed" I hear him laugh, I hear one of the girls sob, really sobbing right now?.
It's quite for a while, and I want to sleep and eat I mean yea they have taken us for whatever reason they have the least they could do is fed us and let us sleep. The whisper is going one and on and on.
"oh cut the crap, and tell us why we are here? Some of us really lack patience, it's the one thing God forgot to give me" I look up to see the hall is full of beautiful people, men and woman alike.
"you still have no patience" there is a gorgeous woman sitting next to him.
She has long golden hair and lime eyes, she is thinner than me, but she has a curvy body, she sits, legs crossed like a lady, she's smiling at me?.
"Logan just tell this…worthless things why they are here" turn to the person who has said that, an old man, probably 45, 46 years old.
"Then if we are so worthless…why are we here sir?" he sits down glaring at me while Logan laughs.
"you are here because…you are need young lady" I turn to an old lady, who is smiling one of the most sweets smiles I've ever seen in a long them.
"for?" I frown, curious.
"to give me a son, an heir" Logan says with a straight face, very serious.
"one of you here, has a gene…the same gene as I have . see normally the gene is within our community, but this time it was born in the human community to a girl on the 14th of June, you may wonder how we know this, while my mother, a witch told us…one of you will give me a son" all of us, the girls', our jaws drop to the floor.
"No!" we say in unison. We all start talking at the same time, fighting.
"YOU HAVE NO CHOICE! One of you will give me a son, but if you don't fall pregnant within a year…you are all free to go, your memory will be wiped and you will be given a million dollars to start a fresh" I cough\ laugh.
" yes Jade?" I clear my throat.
"what if we don't want to it?" he stands up from his throne, walking down the stairs that lead the his pedestal where his and his queen's thrones are.
"I will drink you dry, and fuck you till you rip in half, then I'll pass you around like a cheap hooker and then bury you in a very very deep grave." He stands in front of me.
"drink me dry?" drink me dry? What is he ? a syco?"
"yes drink you, because you see I… we are Vampires" I hear one of the girls scream, when we all look at her, it's the 16 year old she has passed out.
"okay then…make it 5million, since it is against our will and promise that you will never ever follow or come after us when we do leave this place" all the girls look at me, I can see them in the corner of my eye.
" 5 million, yes the other half we'll discuss that later for now go rest in your apartments on the 46th floor, Brandon will escort you, you may leave" we get up and walk out.
Third person
He watches her walk out, with a thoughtful look on her face. Jade Winters, he walks back to my throne and sit down when they all start screaming their opinons at him.
"she is trouble your grace, you can smell it in her"
"we need to get rid of her, your highness"
"but what if she is the one to give us a male heir? She like the rest is needed"
"she is expandable, humans are expandable" he sit back, trying to block them out.
"SHUT UP" he removes hiss head from my hands and look at Jessica.
"Logan is your king, he decides what to do with the humans, not you. You are all excused , he will take you thoughts into consideration …Now Leave" everyone gets up and out in seconds.
"Thank you Jesscia" he sighs.
"aah what are best friends and a queen for" she sits down.
"best friend…and queen, no offence I wish you were just my best friend" she laughs.
"yea me too, but our fathers are shits" he nods in agreement.
"how's Danny" she smirks.
"you see him every day, so you know, just some advice Logan do what makes you happy. Danny and I will always be right behind you in whatever decision you make and we are eloping after all this" she winks and walks out the hall.
"what makes me happy?" he honestly doesn't know.
NORMAL POV
Yesterday we were told we are going to be little people carriers and now today we have to go sit the doctor at 10 am, I get out of the four post, queen sized bed and make the bed with the turquoise green and purple bedding and pillows, I take a shower, brush my teeth, and do my hair in the en-suite bathroom, get dressed in one of the black track-suites that were in the closet and a back tank top. The apartment is…cosy and comfortable, it has a kitchen, a living room with a TV, DVD player and all that jazz and a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom . there is a knock on the door so I answer it.
It's Logan and the blonde chick. I groan, and open the door wider.
"please come in, make yourselves at home" I say with a bored, sarcastic tone.
"why thank you Jade" laugh the blonde chick walks in first, then him
"it not a pleasure, hi you are?" I look at the queen I think.
"Jessica, Hi" I smile.
"so why are you here?" I walk in to the Kitchen and get some apple juice from the fridge.
"the doctor remember?" I nod, finish my juice and start walking towards the door, when I don't hear anyone following I turn to see both Logan and Jessica stare at me.
"Let's Go People" .
