Ch. 18Ardelean Nicholas Lazarus


The prince was quiet when i called him an asshole and a piece of shit, now he wants me in his so called office alone. sincerely, i was scared, but ididn't care, there is no way out, so whatever i do dosent really matter.
.
he moved to where i was slowly and grabbed me by the chin. i tried to free myself but it was useless, he was damn strong and his grip was tight. blood from the injury earlier filled my mouth, and started dripping on his hands. "let go of me." i said, barely audible.
"tell me where the stone is." he said.
what stone? is this what this whole shit is about? a stone?.
"tell me where Amber hid it." he added this time sounding really pissed.
" i dont know what you are talking about." i manged to say.
"dont play dumb with me." he said, gripping even harder.
"i swear i dont know anything, i dont know, i didn't even know my mom was a vampire i didn't even know that vampires exist. not until a few days ago." i said, this time in tears. he didn't say anything, he just looked into my eyes as if wanting to detect if i was lying. "i still don't know what's going on, i just found myself caught up in this whole mess." i added, barely audible. the truth is I have never been this scared in my life.
i watchted as the prince licked the blood on his hands. it felt weird and disgusting.
"half human blood, not as tasty as a full human." he said nonchalantly.
."half human?" i asked.
"yeah, isn't that what you are? half human, half vampire".
I had nothing to say, but trust me, I wasn't suprised, mom is a vampire and dad a human, so it sounds perfectly normal. my problem right now, is what's next? is he going to suck my blood and then throw me out the window or something.
"hell no." he chuckled, not the nice type of chuckle but the evil type. it sent shivers down my spine.
"for starters your blood tastes horrible. you have vampire genes in you. feeding on you will make me feel like a cannibal. which i'm not. " he said in a cold yet reassuring tone. i felt relieved immediately, and for the first time in days i had hope. maybe i was going to live afterall. the prince isn't that bad after all.
"since you are utterly useless, I guess there's only one thing to do." he said, impeding my thoughts. I raised my head and saw the evil shit-eating grin on his face.
"wha_at?" I asked cautiously.
ignoring my question, he snapped his fingers and two guards stormed in turbulently.
"Take her, cut her head off and feed her to the bats." he said.
"NO! NO!! Please don't do this please" I yelled and cried, the guards moved closer me while the prince left my side and walked to his table. I didn't know what to do, but I knew I wasn't going to let myself die without a fight. I stood straight without thinking and ran towards the prince. I grabbed him by the collar, and, started hitting him as hard as I could on his chest. I knew it wouldn't make any difference but I didnt care. the guards were about to drag me but the prince waved his hand , signalling them to let me be. I kept hitting him as hard as i could. instead of feeling pains or even reacting, he stood there like a statue staring at me.
He raised his hands and his fingers grew long, using them, he held my neck tight. it was soo tight that the lightest movement would chop my head off.
I started bleeding on my neck. I was sweating and shaking, I wished I had left with the guards in the first place.
I slowly raised my head and ours eyes met. this was the first time we actually locked eyes. his eye colour went from dreamy to oxblood. i could see anger in them.
he was about to snap my head off when he stopped. he losened his grip, though he was still strangling me. he kept looking into my eyes and his eye colour slowly went from oxblood to emerald green. and he looked harmless, calm and confused at the same time. he let go of my neck and I was able to breathe again.
"the heck?." he mumbled under his breath.
he called the guards and asked them to clean my wounds.
they did that within minutes and left immediately. they were as surprised, and confused as I was. a moment ago I was being strangled to death, and now, i'm recieving treatment from the enemies.
the prince didn't say a word to me, he just kept pacing to and fro using his hand to comb his thick hair in frustration. and I didn't ask, I didn't want to go back to being strangled.
"Kendra Covey," I heard his voice whisper. he knows my name? well, obviously he does, he's a freaking vampire prince.
"since i've decided not to kill you, I don't know what to do with you." He added.
"how about..... i don't know... let me go?" i said hopefully.
"haha" he laughed bitterly, "that's not an option girl. you won't be leaving here, ever." he said with a smirk.
"but, i have an idea" he said. then snapped his fingers. two guards appeared and bowed."your highness."
"I need a cage, big enough to keep a human. " he said and they left to get it.
"seriously? a cage? what am I, a bird? and why don't you just make the cage appear by snapping your fingers?" I said raising two fingers up. he came to where I was standing and held my fingers in his hands. " cause I'm a vampire, not a freaking fairy." he said.
the thought of him in a dress with pink wings and a wand came to my mind. I smiled wildly at the thought.
"stop those silly thoughts, else, I'll change my mind about sparing your life." he said coldly.
.
the guards came in with the huge cage a while later. it was really big. It had a bed, a chair and table, stuffed animals, a flower vase and a bookshelf. how on earth did they get all that in few minutes. Living in this cage won't be that bad. it looked cozy.
"Move" the guard said, I entered without fighting or arguing. he left after locking the door.
"soooo, I'm going to stay here, in your office ?" i asked, even though the answer was obviously yes.
"no" he said surprising me.
"you are in a Mobile cage so, you go wherever i go. just like a dog following it's master." he said, and couldn't help but roll my eyes at his ego.
"sure, prince master" I said, trying my best to sound sarcastic.
"it's prince Ardelean Nicholas Lazarus." he said with pride.
"seriously? just because you are vampire royalty, dosen't mean you should have a dramatic name." i said loudly.
"I'll just go with the Nicholas. or Nick! or Nicky, no not nicky that sounds like nicky minaj. i'lll go with nick". I said thoughtfully. he didn't approve, but he didn't dissaprove either, so i guess i'm going to call him Nick.
he stood up and headed towards the door and my cage surprisingly started following him, just like a dog.
"so you are seriously going to do this? take me along?" I asked, not believing my eyes.
"yes, by the way, i wouldn't want to miss that pretty smile you have. " he said. and just as he expected, he turned around and caught me smiling to his compliment.
