Chapter 8 Here I am
Its been a two days since I ran off I am sat with Jane and Molly in my bed chambers, we have to stay in here tonight because there is a Christmas party that Henry has planed and we are not invited and if I was I do not think I would go because I would feel so out of place. Anna, Lizzy and Kate Walk in with four bottles each with big grins on their faces I think its wine but I am not too sure.
"Look what we found" Anna sings, waiving the bottles at us.
"Wine?" I ask
"Wine" Kate says, grinning even more.
"I do not think that is a good Idea" I say, pointing at the bottles.
"Oh come on Adele ... do not be such a stick in the mud! Everyone's down stairs their not going to know" Anna says, shaking her head.
I've never been drunk before Anna hands me a bottle I look at it "Fine" I say, grinning up at them what can one bottle do?.
"Not too much" Jane Says, Trying to sound displeased but I can see her amusement
I tack a long swig of the wine at first it taste horrid I swallow it down and the after taste is much better it taste fruity, and before I knew it I am on my second bottle. We are sat on my bed laughing At one another, Making fun out of one another I do not think I have laughed this much since I got to London.
"Where ...did you get the drink from?" I ask, Lizzy drunkenly.
"Umm... Party...Up... down stairs " Lizzy Says, Pointing up to the ceiling... I think she is very drunk ... I think I am very drunk I feel... Fuzzy.
"I think ... your vvvvvery drunk" I say, slurring my words.
"No ... your unk ... I mean drunk" she mumbles.
We all start laughing "unk" Jane ask, mocking her sisters.
Then we hear voices from the corridor we all look at one another wide eyed Oh no ! Everyone scrabbles to get off the bed. Anna falls off hitting her head on the floor Kate and Jane points and starts laughing at her, Me and Lizzy look at one another then to the bottles then to the window. Lizzy runs over to the window trying to see if there is anyone out there I pass the bottles to her. She opens the window then throws them out, we all scrabble over to the fire sitting on the chairs in fount of fire then the door opens.
No one's taking Umm "I love pairs" I say, felling very drunk.
Lizzy tries to stifle a laugh "Me to and apples" Anna Says, Grinning at me.
Mary and Jake walk into the room "Mr York Would like to see to you" Jake says, stiffly.
Oh no I am drunk Oh god "It's a Bit late don't you think?" I say, nodding to every word.
"Yes ... But he insists on it" He looks at me like he knows I am hiding something.
"Is there, something wrong?" He asks.
I look at the girls wide eyed "No! I am fine... Thank you very much" I snap, standing up Wow the rooms spinning.
He stands looking at me for a minute then turn and walks out the door, I look at Mary then start to walk as we walk to Henrys room I try and sober myself up, once we get to his room Jack opens the door I thank him and walk in. I never been in this room before Its the biggest room in the house, he has a huge double bed in the middle of the room a fireplace, huge windows on the far wall, the rooms pained in blues, reds and gold's fit for a king. Henry is stood staring out a window looking out into the night Jake leaves closing the door and Henry turns to me smiling.
"Having a good night?" He asks, walking over to me.
Right I can do this "Umm ... yes" Oh no he cannot get to close he will smell the wine I walk over to the line of bookshelf's moving out of his way.
"You have a lot of books" I say, looking at them then there is a knock on the door.
"Come in" Henry snaps, I can feel him looking at me.
A black haired man walks in "Mr York ... some of your guests were in your garden and someone opened the window and throw wine bottles out the window and one hit Lady Evens on the head"
"Oh" Henry says.
I try I really do try and not laugh but I could not help it I let a little laugh out then bite my bottom lip and look away from the black head man, I look everywhere but at them two.
"Do you know something about this Adele?" Henry asks.
Still not looking at them both I look up at the ceiling "No" I say, Feeling my checks heat and Trying hard not to laugh.
"You can leave Ben" He says sighing.
I hear the open then closes "So you've been drinking?" He asks, I look at the bookshelf again.
"That depends on the way you're going to act" I say, bravely I think. looking down at my knotted fingers.
He walks to my side and a jolt of fear runs through me, he runs is finger along my jaw then tilts my chin up so I look up at him "Please don't be afraid of me" He whispers.
I swallow hard looking into his eye's "You said you wanted to own me" I breath.
"I want to keep you safe" He says, getting closer to my face.
"Why?" I ask, taking one step back so I am hitting the bookshelf.
"Because me and you are cut from the same cloth" He whispers, rubbing his nose against mine.
I wriggle my nose I am not the only one that has been drinking "What does that mean?"
He rolls his eyes in frustration and step back "Everyone has to start somewhere" He says, walking over to the table with bottles of wine on it. He tacks one then sits on the big wooden box at the end of the bed, he leans his elbows on the bed and kicks is legs out in fount of him.
"Are you coming to sit or are you going to stand there all night?" He asks, looking back me then taking a swig of his drink.
I walk over to him and sit next to him "Is that all you are going to tell me?"
"I was born in a brothel 67 years ago ... to six women I did not know which one was my mother" he says, and then takes another swig of his drink.
Umm I really was not expecting this "Are they still alive?" I ask, whispering
"No! They died... to disease and violence "He says, looking up at me with a sad smile.
The fear that I felt for him has gone I feel empathy towards him we are cut from the same cloth "How did you become a Vampire?"
"After they died I ran away to sea... ended up in Gdansk, fell into the battle of Orsha then ended up on the wrong side of a muscovite lance, and then when the army surgeon offered me eternal I accepted"
"And here you are" I says, smiling up at him.
"Here I am" He says, grinning down at me.
"Do you want a bottle?" Henry asks, waiving his bottle at me.
