I could tell that Alexander, was avid to clean up the mess before the few vampires that were left , could catch a whiff of the smell. The rancid smell of the bodies slowly turning to black muck.

I'm sure you're wondering by now that if when a vampire dies and they turn to a black liquid goop substance, why would you feed of each other. Well, you see when a vampire dies, the body doesn't turn into ash or just disappear. It decomposes and at a extremely rapid rate resulting in well. . .sludge.

My nose scrunched up and I turned to Jason.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC02GxE2p1
"Ready to get outta here?" I looked up at him, smiling.
He gave me a confused look, I just kept smiling and took his hand pulling him with me through the door.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TKk5kPYcV
"Luna! at least wait till someone escorts you!" Alexander yelled.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFHr3G74QI
"Can't die, remember Alexander!" I laughed quietly, I heard Alexander scoff and order Lukas to grab a mop.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZNrRK8maq
Quickly, I ran down the stairs and outside, quickly moving around the staff as they cleaned up, the winter themed decorations, some of the sparkles moving the the flow of air I created.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpLNidv3c7
"Luna, where are we going?"
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM6pIWic2F
"Shh." I snapped.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO68dK8ZEZU
As we reached outside, I took a breath of the air. The snow was just barely falling, everyone's footsteps were still fresh. Yet it was so. . . quiet.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsLYG5J5L4
"You're gonna ruin that beautiful dress in this weather. . . come on lets go inside." Jason started to pull me back towards the mansion and I shook my head.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPg7yZMdpH
I walked towards the big swan fountain, that had now froze over leaving a sparkling layer across the dark grey stone.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iZFRDykH3
"What was that punishment about?" Jason interrupted my thoughts and I blinked.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8sE6RqhcT
"What do you mean? I just took care of the possible backlash. . ."
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPreqmCmZhc
"Normally you and I, share what the decided punishment is, let alone, kill a handful at once as punishment. . ."
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqQmZvpZ1v
"Well it's already happened, can't change the past." I snapped.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5EYgfIswr
"That's. . . Not the point." He sighed pausing.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzQOOrO7vi
"What were you gonna do with that guy Rickey anyway?"he questioned.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk7O48Y0Wj
To be truthful, I wasn't really too sure he just. . . drew my attention.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3enpjoJ12z
"Nothing, I was just curious."
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9COlx4b7BV
His face looked unsure if he trusted me, I'm sure he was rummaging through my thoughts, but even if so he wouldn't find an answer.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEBj0htRLl

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3Qc0TaZJz
"Ben's coming over for the usual check in, right?" Jason asked, putting on a white T shirt.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXJ6R9vDee
"In about five minutes or so, he hasn't texted me or anything saying he's feeling any different so I'm sure it's the same."
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf9bGbniVq
"Ben never texts or calls us." Jason scoffed.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuFBxwaeLz
"Well the point is I told him if he felt the need, to do so okay Mr. Smart ass" I laughed quietly.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnQiCC8joU
"I can indeed be, I love you I'll be back by tomorrow morning." I smiled, as I suddenly felt arms wrapped around my waist.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb0EBbZnXM
I tilted my head back, as he placed a gently kiss on my lips before pulling away.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhaj6FJjht
"Don't get into too much trouble. . ." I teased.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGzwyM88Ua
"Come on. . . it's just Darian and Jay after all"
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa784yQEj01
I shoved him by the chest a little bit making him step back and shoved him his leather jacket.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiG4PbmOxH
He chuckled and walked out of the foyer.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66TFarvsHJ
Alexander walked in passing Jason on the way and looked at me.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwUKeBoWYj
"You can stay, but really I'm fine, please relax go. . . I don't know, watch a movie by the door or something, I don't need to be in your view always I promise. . ."
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBjjH0pYfj
He opened his mouth to speak and I cut him off.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLTfjv9ajQ
"Alexander you always worry about us and never focus on yourself. . . at least take an hour, not even a full day, an hour at least. That's an order."
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23tErUnOFl
Alexander quickly shut his mouth, almost seemed to be biting his tongue and nodded before leaving the room.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweXVh7YT1s
I loved how devoted he was, don't get me wrong. . . ever since I had taken the throne though, he had never fully taken off. Alexander was the head guard and was always with us before anyone else. We were his priority. Though this meant that he truly ever allowed himself to have a life, even though he didn't have to worry about us, because we couldn't be killed.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vKDcbyoOz
Part of me wondered, if it was his guilt for Letting the past king and queen down. Though he had said to me once that he knew, that one day we would come and that he knew whoever it was, he would choose us over them. Though if I were to be honest, he never had the chance to know we were planning what we did. Because in fact there was no plan, in some ways that was what made it most impressive yet infamous.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjPqi5AUP4
"Luna, Ben is here for you." Alexander's voice broke through my thoughts.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2CA20CpUn
I looked over at Ben, who was wearing a navy blur fleece jacket with blue jeans. The snow still lightly covered his jacket quickly melting.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFK69CDyVi
"Jacket?" Alexander asked Ben.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2GPYzcN6X
Ben shook his head and then walked towards me, I looked at him concerned.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHSkBu2rSD
"Something wrong?" I asked, as I waived him to sit in the white and gold chair in the corner.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG86aDmqdCr
Alexander looked at me for approval to leave and I nodded.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBUGiScFBL
Ben finally sat down and sighed.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBrxgAorCf
"I. . . I don't know, I was about to call you, then I didn't and I just have this. . ."
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZHEJY4IL3
He paused.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6p7LtzRAR
"This thirst, like a thirst I can't cure."
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycZtcNOQgD
He sounded tense and he fidgeted with his hands.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSCeGSpEsI
Was Ben experiencing blood lust from me taking so much blood?
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LZIYXkvZH
"Are you sick?"
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOkfmYeQ8a
He shook his head.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlYYI9R9P6
"I'm not sure, but. . . you could be experiencing blood lust from Kaiden's side of you since he's fed me twice. . .you know I do not have enough information on him to understand fully."
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Quf4Hv1Tj
"Is that why he's been screaming 'drink from her' since I've arrived?" Ben interrupted.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTr6ZRoZxS
I froze and my eyes watched Ben closely. It was still Ben, but it made me cautious.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY23IBMcbC9
Something I very rarely felt.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkmQ6F1CjI
"Probably. . ."
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcJVxZLSDM
"What do I do?" he sounded as if he were begging.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGgw32FSuk
He was in pain. A lot of it. . .
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VDUt0PWn1
"I don't know, I don't know enough about a human having this problem. . . let alone a. . . dragon." I cleared my throat.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlffeO1vb19
I had to be careful, because I didn't want Kaiden to force me into a blood bond, but I also didn't want Ben to suffer from a blood lust either.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrKmBHMwit
"Why is it coming through now? usually it doesn't effect me you know?" he said as he rubbed his throat.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZaqZWTVMl
"I warned you, he would become stronger with everyday, let alone feeding him."
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWMyHUm3Su
Little did Ben know, it was in my best benefit to have Kaiden fully able to be. Thus, why I encouraged awakening him on what seemed to be "harmless" reasons. Even if he fully did and wasn't in full control, he still didn't have the power to kill me, so I wasn't concerned.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrHaUHovZW
"Truly, being stuck in this human is becoming very. . . bothersome."
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMbeTk5Nwe
Suddenly, I heard Kaiden's low voice.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Res2NVSpm
"I'm quite sure it is being smaller and all, now tell me why must you bother the poor human with your troubles?"
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajHq6uWPoF
"You said it yourself my dear, as I grow stronger the more control I have over him, over us."
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAPsbv7GX6
His words rolled off of his tongue.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaM7tmK6J0
"So, you wish to not be in control of such a thing?" I looked at him.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIlARiSxI7
His face was plain, as if there was no emotion.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckIHAybO17
"Well you see back in the day I had people bring a feast full of animals for me to bring and although I suppose what humans eat for meat now is. . . good. It is by no means efficient. Most definitely not carnage enough for my taste."
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorTJ0YmrEb
I huffed.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnNrhc0SEy
"So what, ripping into me is carnage enough for you?"
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzCKbHthQl
"It's not like you'd die." He remarked.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpJISAcTTQ
I rolled my eyes and in response he smirked, his yellow eyes burning, almost straight into me it seemed.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiphQsOMzj
"Sorry, I don't recall offering myself as a Martyr for you." I sneered.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTYrB9OTGK
"Unfortunate, haven't had that offer in a while. . . and you my dear could last me for forever. . ."
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigHeuVo8ge
He sighed, as if bored with the conversation and stood.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hNKH7i9Xo
Carefully, my eyes followed him, as he paced the room.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghWKbu6oW0
"Relax child, I will not harm you."
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4teYFLjdfj
"You've already harmed Ben, how can I assure that you won't lie to me about more hmm?"I tested.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY68yGa254
He held up his index finger and smiled coming closer.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakzXhqIlPK
"True, this is indeed also true, but I also know that everyone is indeed just waiting for us to make a struggling sound and everyone in this mansion will either be rushing in to contain me, even if it means they die. . . Others will run away."
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7zrm9ww8q
"So, as you can see Kaiden, I don't have insurance in this situation, now do I?"
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAnkaA5PJv
"Very well then. . . then I suppose this is farewell until you have the insurance you need, am I correct?"
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjOGyNRU8u
Kaiden seemed to be very. . . testing of my comfort of the situation.
