LEMON OVER! YOU CAN UNCOVER YOUR EYES, KIDDIES!
Btw, I just want to apologize for my lack of updates. Recently I have been dealing with some personal things and my writing had to be put on hold. I didn't trust myself to write with the state I was in. But I'm all right now so the writing shall begin again! Back to the story…
Chapter 20
I woke up with my body sore and aching. But it was an ache that made me smile. I opened my eyes and realized my face was still buried in Jaiden's chest. His arms were wrapped tightly around me and he snored lightly. I sat up a little and looked into his face.
It was the first time I've ever seen him look so peaceful.
I smiled again and placed a light kiss on his lips. He opened his eyes and gave me a small smile.
"Morning sleeping beauty."
He smirked. "That would be you dear. And technically it's night now."
I looked out the window and shrugged. "I'm use to saying good morning so whatever."
He chuckled and sat up. "Well we need to get everyone together and talk. We need to talk and re-think things."
I nodded and we both got dressed.
About fifteen minutes later we were all in the large sitting room. Andrew wasn't his usual self. His smile was gone and his arms were crossed. He looked more like Jaiden when he was acting like this but since I haven't received an apology from him, I really didn't care.
Jaiden looked serious as he stood in front of everyone by the fire.
"We were able to solve the problem of the Dark King seeing into Brianna's mind. But now we face the problem that he possible has an idea of where we are located. We need to find a new location and quickly."
Everyone stayed silent but they all nodded in agreement.
"Tomorrow night all the men but Christian will join me in going to find a new location. I want us moved within a month. Less if possible."
"Jaiden, that's a lot to ask. It took us months to find this place!" Mary said.
"I know but we need to hurry as fast as we can. We all must assume were all in danger from this point on until were moved. No one leaves tonight. We all stay in tonight and pack our things. Boxes are in the basement."
The tension could be cut with a knife. No one wanted to leave but we all knew we didn't have a choice. Andrew gave me a brief look that made me think he was going to say something, but he continued his way out of the room. Jaiden came behind me when everyone left and wrapped his arms around my shoulders.
"He'll get over it soon and apologize. Trust me on that."
"I hope so." We parted with a kiss and went to our rooms to pack.
….
We all spent some serious time in our rooms packing. I was nearly done considering I didn't have much. Just some luxury items and clothes everyone was nice enough to get me.
I finally got tired of the work and went to watch some TV. Mary and Kristin had already beaten me to the room and were watching.
I sat with them and we all had the same gloomy looks on our faces. No one was happy about this move.
"So are you guys all packed and ready to go?" I asked conversationally.
"Almost." Mary said as Kristin shrugged. "We don't carry much in case of these things happening."
"Oh."
We all looked back to the TV and tried to ignore the awkward silence.
After a while I stood. "Well, I'm gonna get food. Anyone else hungry?"
Mary and Kristin looked at each other and nodded. We all went to the kitchen and started to make some sandwiches.
"So are we moving into a place as bid as this?"
"It all depends on what they find." Mary said.
"One time we all stayed in this small 4 bedroom house. We were glad to leave that place." Kristin said.
"Too small?"
"WAY too small. We were all uncomfortable and had to fight for the bathroom when we wanted it."
"Ouch! That would really suck."
"Yeah but I think they will look for a bigger place since there are so many of us. They wont have much of a choice."
"Yeah that would be nice. I would hate to fight for a bathroom."
We all laughed and smiled.
"God, imagine all of us with only one bathroom and a tiny kitchen. We'd all kill each other!"
"Yeah the men would all die leaving just us. Come to think of it, I don't think I would mind that." Kristin said, pretending to think on it leaving me and Mary laughing.
A moment later, Jaiden walked in and we finished laughing.
"I suggest you all get some sleep. All the men are leaving early tomorrow to start house hunting and you girls need to try and have the house packed before we return."
As much as I wanted to tell him to stuff it and let us have our fun, he had a point. He sadly all got up and started out of the kitchen. Before I could leave I felt his hand gently grip my arm holding me back. I smiled and wrapped my arms around his waist as his arms came around my shoulders.
"Will you come to my room tonight?" I ask, sounding hopeful.
"Sadly I need to go out and run a safety check before anything. And you need your sleep."
I nod, disappointed but understanding.
"Ok then."
He gave me a small slime and we kissed.
"Go get some sleep. I'll see you tomorrow evening. Then I promise a night with you."
My smile got bigger.
"Ok."
We parted and I had a heavy feeling in my chest.
…
When I woke up the following evening, Jaiden was true to his word. All the men but Christian were gone. Mary and Kristin were in the kitchen while Christian was in the small gym working out.
"What time did they all leave?" I ask.
"About an hour ago right after the sun set." Kristin said, looking grim.
I nodded and quickly went to get blood out of the fridge. Before I reached the bag I heard a small noise that distracted me.
I closed the fridge and listened again.
"Do you guys hear that?"
They looked at each other confused and shook their heads. I quickly made my way out of the kitchen and went towards the noise. I heard Mary and Kristin follow me but I ignored them.
As soon as I entered the main room of the house, I saw it.
The window was broken and a large grenade looking object was in the middle of the room.
"GET DOWN!" I screamed and turned quickly, dragging Mary and Kristin with me as I flung my arms around them.
The grenade went off and I felt the blast of heat. We all screamed as it passed over us, but causing no damage to us. We scrambled to our feet as Christian burst out of the basement door to our right.
"THEY FOUND US! OUT THE BACK! QUICKLY!"
We all ran but another grenade crashed thru another window, making us change direction. We kept running as the grenade went off and fire spread. I was the last one in the hallway while Christian led the way.
"WE NEED TO GET TO THE LAUNDRY ROOM! THERES AN UNDERGROUND WAY OUT!" He screamed over the roaring flame. As we rounded the corner, I lost my footing and tripped. I quickly rebounded but got behind. I didn't bother to shout for them to slow down. I would catch up eventually.
As I began trying to run again, another grenade crashed thru the window, but this time in front of me.
I scream as I made my body stop and turn. The blast knocked me back down the wall and thru a wall.
Being a vampire may have made me somewhat invincible, but being knocked thru a wall still hurt like hell. I lay on my back for several moments trying to force myself to get up. The room I crashed into hadn't been set on fire yet but it was spreading quickly.
I forced my body to move, pain searing thru me. I finally stood and tried to make my way to the door but froze when I lifted my head.
In front of me stood five men all in black. Their aura made me shiver and I recognized the man in the front. It was Sabin, the Dark Kings head man.
They all smiled, making me shiver again.
"My queen, your presence has been requested by your fiancée and King."
I didn't hesitate a moment longer, I ran for the door next to me.
Being in a big house had its advantages of getting away but it also had the bad advantage of easily getting lost without thinking.
I made it past the door but my body was still sore and tired. As I rounded another corner, I froze as one of the men appeared five feet in front of me.
He smiled. "No need to be nervous your majesty. We've all been waiting for you."
I turned but there were the rest of them. Sabin in the lead.
"Time to go, my queen."
"MARY! KRISTIN! CHRISTIAN!" I scream, hoping someone would hear me.
The men laughed and Sabin's smile got bigger.
"I'm sorry to inform you, your majesty, but it seems your friends got trapped in one of the rooms and couldn't find their way out."
I freeze, staring at him.
"You lie…" I whispered, fear and pain searing thru me.
They all chuckled again and began to get closer to me.
"I wouldn't lie to you, my Queen."
Tears sprang to my eyes and I felt my mind drift to their faces. All smiling and cheerful a short time ago, now gone.
I suddenly felt hand roughly grad my arms and I was jerked back to reality.
"GET OFF ME!" I screamed.
They laughed and began to drag me down the hall. I struggled and the men lost their smiles.
"Oh fuck this!" One of them said and I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head.
My world went black.
