Amelia
I was driven up to the varsity in a limo and I half expected the college students to line up to welcome me, their princess but the school hardly noticed my arrival. Freshmen students and their parents were received in a large auditorium were many people I couldn't even remember their names and offices gave countless number of speeches until when I thought I was going to fall asleep in my seat out of boredom, we were shown to our dorms, parents hugged their wide eyed children and cried while some students like me who came alone tried not to look too lost as we tried to find our rooms.
I stared up at the room number that was going to be the name of my new home, afraid to enter, scared that if I did, I was making it permanent. I couldn't just run back home to my Daddy when I lost courage. I was so lost in thought, I didn't see the beautiful tall blonde who had come to stand in front of me until she spoke.
''Well Daddy's little girl is scared.'' She said mimicking the voice of a little child. And startled, I looked up at her.
She was tall and beautiful, like the kind of women I always saw on TV, with classic I hair and blue eyes and she had the inbred manners of old rich, it was in the way she tilted her head when she spoke, the angle at which she carried her shoulders. Coming from old money myself, I could tell when I saw it in others. I knew immediately that she had been a cheerleader in her high school and dated the most popular boy, I knew it just as I knew we would never be friends.
'' You're Rhinehart are you not? Amelia Rhinehart and I am Clarrisa Bell.'' She said without extending her hand. I hadn't heard of the 'Bell' surname before so she was probably not that rich.
''What! Are you as much of a freak as they say your family is?'' She asked rolling her eyes and then ignoring me and walking back into the room before I had a chance to answer.
''My bed is the one by the window and I have the closet with the mirror wall.'' She said even though she had just arrived too and was also unpacking her things but I nodded. The fact that we were not going to be friends didn't mean we should be enemies.''
I had just finished unpacking my things and was about to get into bed with a new novel from my favorite author when Clarrisa decided to torment me again.
''Do they not talk at all where you come from or are the rumours true?''
My heart stopped beating for a second and I tried not to look as scared as I was. ''What rumours?''
She was on her feet in an instant with the graceful elegant movement of a gymnast. ''That your father made your entire family cut their tongue out and then eat it --''
''What! eew! No of cause not. That's just so gross.'' I said shocked and already feeling sick from only thinking about it.
She smiled triumphantly. ''See! I knew I could make you to talk.'' Without asking for my permission, she came over to my bed and sat down. ''Now I've taught you how to talk, there's this frat party that's being thrown for new people who want to get initiated. For the freshman guys, it's an opportunity to join one of the most prestigious fraternities but for we freshman girls it's an opportunity to meet hot sophomores and finals, lots of hot mad sex afterwards and of cause, there's going to be a lot of under age drinking.'' She winked. ''If you know what that means.''
As she spoke, I kept trying to figure out what it was she wanted. I knew she wasn't trying to make new friends and ....
''What! You've forgotten how to talk again?''
I shook my head. ''My father always said nothing in this world is as it seems. I just want to know why you're telling me this as if we're friends."
''My father always said nothing in this world is as it seems.'' She repeated with a straight face then started laughing, gradually at first and then till she was gasping for breath. ''I'm sorry Amelia but you do know you sound like a movie out of the eighties right?'' She asked when she had finally composed herself. ''Please can you keep what ever your father told you at home. I don't think any hot dude in this school really cares and to answer your question -- no. We are not and would never be friends but you're a Rhinehart and you're pretty. Entering a frat party with you wouldn't be such a bad idea.''. She didn't even wait for me to answer but hoped off the bed and to the door. ''And hey Amy, I hope you have nice clothes cause I've seen your stuff and they all look like junk.'' She closed the door behind her before I had the chance to defend my clothes and I found myself wondering how I was the rich Daddy's --little-girl, and the princess yet somehow, she was the one with the attitude.

The redhead sitting next to me had smooth skin but it was not silky. I shook my head to block memories as I slid my hand further up her skirt. Only one girl had had silky skin so soft it was almost unreal. Only one girl had innocence in her eyes and yet had full lush curves. There was only one girl I was ever going to love and the vampires took her away from me the day they also killed my little brother, sucking the very life out of them and leaving their corpse behind for the police who had no clue -- but I knew death by vampire when I saw one and that was the day I became one of the most viscious vampire slayers in America.
''Ouch!'' the red head yelped and I realized my hand had gotten a bit rough only thinking about the past. As an apology, I trailed my hand further up her tighs, pushing her pants aside to find her. She moaned and grabbed my hand, trying to shove it harder but I liked my own pace. I started to remove my hand from under her skirts and she grabbed it again. ''Please.... I'll take the skirt off if you want me too.''
I smiled. It was a frat party and things could get pretty wild, especially when you were a bit away from the party. ''Okay.'' I nodded. ''Lets see what you've got down there.''
She smiled and started wriggling out of the tight mini skirts and then her panties trying her best to put on a peep show but I was already half bored by the time she was half way through. She was too typical.
Naked, apart from her shirt she climbed unto my laps and started a lap dance to the beat of the song that was coming from the party downstairs. I know she was hoping we would do a quickie before I went downstairs or at least that I would go back to my former engagement.
I didn't mind a quick one before going downstairs but -- I wasn't fucking any girl without first seeing her tits.
She removed her top and bra immediately she caught me starring. '' I'm as big as they come. I heard you kinda a boobs guy.'' She said into my ear and I had to admit, she had real good tits. I spurn her around and pushed her against the wall, a little more forcefully than I had wanted to and was about to take advantage of the situation that had been offered to me when the door banged open letting in the loud music from downstairs and harsher light from the corridor into the room.
''What the fuck.'' I snapped at whoever had just opened the door. The redhead had been okay and I had been having a bit of a moment before the interruption.
'' I'm sorry I -- I --I'' the girl standing in the doorway stammered. She was hot. With dark curly long hair, wide eyes and her extremely short tube gown did nothing to hide her fabulous legs and awesome cleavage. Why the hell was a girl that hot so tongue tied.
''Well shut the door and get out then!'' I snapped at her and she turned around immediately. ''On the other hand..'' I said and her hand stopped on the door knob. ''I think I'll have you instead.''
She turned around immediately. Her eyes darting to the redhead who being a smart girl was now putting her clothes back on. ''Have me what like... have like na-- naked like... have.'' Her blush was deepening with each stutter until I thought her face was going to burst and she did look good when she blushed but my patience was running thin.
I stepped closer, connering her until I had her boxed in against the back of the now open door and the wall. She lifted her hands to push me away when I stepped closer but they only ended up caressing my chest. I lowered my mouth to her ear. ''Yes baby, have you -- like naked -- like have.'' To be sure we were on the same page, I hooked a finger under her chin and raised her head, I could already see arousal in the eyes that stared back at me and it was all I needed.
I rammed my mouth against her's roughly, I was trying to draw out the fight in her. I hate timid. When she opened her lips to me, kissing with the inexperience of a child, I drew my lips away from her's and she immediately dropped her head, once again hiding her gaze.
''Look at me freshman.'' I commanded and she immediately raised her head so I could notice what an unusual shade of violet her eyes were. '' Didn't your boyfriend teach you how to kiss properly?''
''He... I... I .. he ..I--'' She stammered and impatiently, I traced her bottom lip and watched her shiver.
'' What's your name?''
''Amelia'' She said raising her chin a little bit and a flicker of something like pride passed through her eyes.
I nodded. ''Well at least you got that right. Listen Amelia, when I kiss you, let your lips remain closed, allow me to tease them open.'' She nodded, her expression very concentrated like she was in a class room and I had to laugh but when she smiled a bit, flashing two cute dimples, I stepped even closer, ramming her even more into the wall and making her blush again. Good. I was beginning to like her inexperienced and blushing. It made corrupting her even sweeter.
I started to trail a hand over her tits, I could fill them through the shear fabric of her dress and she trembled, biting her bottom lip and almost undoing me. ''When I've teased them open.... Your lips I mean. Your legs would come later -- you open them just slightly. don't open it so wide and gaping, I don't want saliva all over me.'' She was not looking at me now, her head was tilted in an odd angle and she was trying her best not to moan as her fingers dug against the wall.
My hand shifted from the outside of her gown, digging inside pulling down her gown to reveal the best tits I had seen in a long time and connecting with warm flesh and she screamed out. I smiled. The girl had no idea how to have a quiet quickie in a frat party but then, this was turning out to be a bit more than a quickie. Slowly lowering my head to her ear, I whispered. ''Can you remember your lessons on how to kiss Amelia?'' But she couldn't answer, instead she kept moaning and I smiled again as I crushed my lips to hers, noting the improvement. She was a fast learner, I liked that.
AmeliaHe hadn't told me his name, yet I was pressed in a dark room into a corner, walled in by the door, the wall and him, letting him do things to me I had once only heard Juliet and Helen talk about and causing me to make strange animal noises.His tongue stroked mine, teasing, showing me the sweetest agony I had ever known and just when I thought he had shown me everything, his fingers started a new rythm on my chest. My gown was half way down now and shame burned my face when he lowered his lips to the exposed skin, but it was pleasure that made me cry out. He muffled my cries with his mouth again and when he brought his lips to my ear it was to whisper ''Keep screaming like that and you'll bring the entire frat party into this room to find out what's going on and for some reason, I don't want you to be discovered half dressed.''I started to apologise but it only ended in a moan as he bit the tip of my ear and then kissed it.My chest was still bare so that when he shifted sligh
AmeliaIt was a week since my encounter with the hot frat guy. He hadn't told me his name, and yet somehow, his face -- the whole of him had been imprinted in my head.Tall, tan, shaggy blond hair and the bluest eyes I had ever seen with a body that was fit only for a god. He was the first man to kiss me, to touch me and also the first man to threaten my life.I shivered only thinking about the fact that he could hear every sound around me. How many people was he listening to right now? How many people had he threatened.... or was he only angry with nineteen year old vampires who had the misfortune to come to his school?Even as I asked those questions silently in my head, I knew the answer. He hated vampires and didn't think anything of killing one, I wondered why I was still alive.I took off my clothes and tied a towel around my chest, wondering if he could hear the fabric of my dress as I lifted it above me head -- if he could tell what the sound was. Thinking about that alone bro
AMELIAI came back from class tired and worn out, wanting nothing more than to crash on my bed. I could take a short nap. Sleeping in the afternoon didn’t mean I was getting old.It was a standard joke at home that started when I was six and Helen had been reading a bedtime story to me. I had taken a fancy to an old woman who according to the book needed lots of sleep in the afternoon. Having never seen an old person before, I marveled at her gray scanty hair, her wrinkles and how bent she was over her walking stick. My family who were over a hundred years old were still strong and looked young and yet here was this woman who was only eighty looking so feeble. The next day when my father had said he needed to take a nap, I had gotten so scared and shouted ‘are you turning into an old woman Daddy.’ It took a lot of explaining for me to get out of punishment that day, and then after that, it became a family joke – sleeping in the afternoon was for old women.I smiled. Only thinking abou
AMELIAMy days passed uneventfully at the varsity. Hot frat party guy still refused to tell me his name. He still kept draining information from me about my Daddy. I didn’t believe he could come close to killing him and so I answered all of his questions – truthfully. I really don't know how to die -- or so I believe.He still kept up the sexual energy, kissing me at times, touching me in places his hands had no business going to, until I stopped trying to decieve myself. I had a crush on him, a massive one and I think he knew it. I guess it made him feel big and powerful, it made me feel small and powerless.I and Clarrisa had finally gotten to some unspoken understanding of some sorts, she stopped trying to make me talk about frat guy and I stopped stuttering. Most of the times now, she was wrapped up in her romance with one Percy King, I didn’t ask her about him either.I was passing beside the basketball court, already late for an evening class when I saw a two basketball players.
PERCYAs I walked out of the cafeteria, I couldn’t just shake off the feeling that something was not right. Why did an experienced vampire keep blushing anytime I made the slightest suggestive comment. I hadn’t known any girl that blushed – except back in high school and they were all in the tenth grade.The wolf in me was hinting on something . . . a warning perhaps. Something was off. I smiled briefly to myself remembering the way she called me 'human', then I frowned. What kind of experienced Vampire couldn't tell a werewolf, an Alpha for that matter, from a human. Something was definitely up.She had looked innocent, vulnerable sitting across me just now and I wondered how she managed to look that way, or maybe a thousand years of practice had made her able to pull it off well enough, but…There was still the issue of an arrangement already being made for blood parcels to be sent to her. I tried not to gag at the thought but why had she come to this school anyway. I made a mental n
I tried my best to memorize all he was saying, trying to figure out a way to spoil all their plans without alerting my father. I had a vague idea what my father was going to do to him if he – my father found out, and even with all he had done to me, I couldn’t lie to myself that I wanted him to get hurt.’Well I just don’t think we can trust her boss.’’ A guy with shaggy red hair in dirty jeans and a ragged polo said. He sounded like he was stating an obvious thing, yet something that frat guy hadn’t figured out yet.‘’I don’t trust her of course, that’s why she doesn’t get to know the whole plan.’’ He turned to face the entire room now. ‘’We leave when I say we leave. So everyone stay alert.’’ He turned to me and nodded slightly. ‘’That includes you Amelia. You make that call when I ask you to.’’I waited until the entire members of his crew had all filled out before I started to leave. The truth was that I was scared, they had all shot me hateful glances when frat guy wasn’t watching
Clarrisa……That was one new complication. Figured life wasn’t going to make things any easier for me.Amelia got up now, trying to brush off the pink stains on her top and I got up too and caught her hand. ‘’You can’t go back to your dorm like this, Clarrisa is smart, she’ll ask questions –‘’‘’You don’t have to remind me of how smart she is.’’ She snapped. ‘’ I’m her roommate remember?’’I brushed gently at the tears on her cheeks. ‘’Yeah I know Amelia and you’re smart too, that’s why you know you can’t go back to your room like this.’’It took a lot to persuade her but I finally got her to go back to my room with me. I had paid for a one man room and so it was just me.She lay now, asleep wearing my old T that was oversized on her, her hair, soft and fresh from the shower fanned out on the pillows under her, I tried to remember what she was but all I could think of was how everything had just decided to go wrong in the space of a few minutes – but no, I was lying to myself, it had s
‘’Hello little princess’’ He said and I could smell his breath, some mixture of stale blood and garlic, I thought vampires hated garlic. I refused to talk to him. If I ignored him then he probably wouldn’t tell me why I had been kidnapped and then he wouldn’t tell me what he wanted in exchange for my freedom. I didn’t negotiate with terrorists. The vampire smiled and walked behind me, yanking my hair back and exposing the veins on my neck, he licked the vein and I tried hard not to be sick. ‘’You think your Werewolf lover -- Percy is going to come save you don’t you?’’ He whispered into my ear and even then tied up as I was, scared and badly needing to use the bathroom, my heart still started the erratic beating I was now so familiar with. Percy. What had happened to him? . . . . and why was this male referring to him as a Werewolf? I hoped these vampires with the audacity to kidnap their princess hadn’t harmed him. I wondered what I would do, how I would feel if they had.
AMELIA I woke up feeling weak, I had been feeling weak for so long, but this felt new. I was also in a different environment, because it certainly wasn't my room. Events of yesterday flashed through my eyes like a dream of the night -- events! I sat up quickly, making my head sway a little, and I fought a bout of dizziness before I could concentrate. Percy had carried me outside under the moon, he had slit my vein and his to and let our blood touch. I remembered the pain, the pain which remained filled in me like a dull ache -- and then Percy had let me dtink from him. I drew up my knees to my shoulders, and rested my head on my folded arms trying to keep in the little warm I still had. Percy had done something very significant to me yesterday night, and he had not even bothered to explain what it was -- I had not even asked. I had simply trusted him, trusted that within that cold exterior, he had a heart. I could not even understand why, but I wanted to win his heart -- and
PERCYSomething seemed a bit off with the party. Usually at parties, I was calm and relaxed, but my wolf seemed to be telling me something, my wolf seemed to be on the alert, like there was a potential battle ahead although I did not sense any Vampires. Relegating my more canine nature to the background, I focused on the present. A few people seemed genuinely happy to see me, I had been away from much human contact for a while. The rest of the people seemed only happy I had shown up, and so they did not waste their best appearance. I did not even understand why everyone based so importance on hanging out with me. It was not as though I was some filthy - rich millionaire's son, or like I still played basketball professionally -- and only my crew knew I was an Alpha,very few humans even knew about Werewolves. There was just that unmistakable pull to me from the crowd, humans loved to gather around me, to do my bidden. I really didn't care about any of them though -- as long as they
PERCY I carried Amelia to my room and lay her on my bed. She still looked a bit under weight, but the lustre to her beauty had returned. Her dark hair fanned out all over my pillow in it's glorious curls, and her cherry bud lips were slightly parted as she drew in air in a belaboured way, her brows were slightly puckered even in sleep. She would be in this weakened state for over a week, or possibly longer. I had never known a human mated before, but hopefully she was more Vampire than human -- I didn't also know there was a day I would wish for that. She stirred again in her sleep and her delicate features twisted in pain. The moon goddess was still opening her up to me, her darkest secrets -- as it was, the few secrets she had were a petty quarrel with one of her cousins or childish anger at her Dad. I wondered if she would be able to take the weight of my own secrets, because they were weighing even me down. Even though Amelia had no real secret, the process still had to
AMELIA The Alpha pushed me away from him then, violently. So that I stumbled backwards and would have fallen if my back did not hit a tree behind me. I tried to close my eyes to the pain that threatened to tear me apart, but even shutting my eyes hurt. I wondered if this was a new torture technique, or if I felt this way because I still hadn't fed in a long time. I found I could not stop staring into his eyes, eyes that screamed of how much he hated me, and yet demanded that he own me. His very being seemed to be fighting to take possession of mine, to own the very breath of my nostrils, and inspite of myself, I laughed weakly. Who was I to deny him access? He had already owned me from the moment I had seen him at the frat party. I drew in a breath and surrendered myself to the pain and the subtle pleasure. If it killed me then I'd die happy knowing one thing -- that I'd forever belong to the Alpha Percy King. Surprisingly, the pain stopped sooner than I thought it would,
AMELIA Percy recovered quickly enough to pick me up again, but this time, his arms around me where so stiff, and I tried not to relax against the warmth of his chest. I still did not know where he was taking me, but I did not ask again. I was just tired of fighting, I could not fight him forever. I was tired of always having to watch his emotions. One moment, he would be furious with me and mistreating me, and the next he would be kissing me. Sometimes, he did not bother to stem his fury before he touched me, so that I tasted his anger, his disgust when he rammed his lips against mine. I placed my head against his heart and listened to the thudding of his heart, it was oddly soothing. I was cold and very hungry, and I needed all the comfort I could get. One thing was certain, he was the better fighter, the stronger one and at one point or another, I was going to have to submit to him in both pleasure and pain. I could oy hope he did not choose to bring me much pain. We reach
The night's air blew a whiff of the scent of roses to me, and for some reason, it reminded me of the long, empty, dusty hall I had just been in with the grandmaster of the Thinkers. That was odd since I had not noticed any scent of roses while I had been there, only acrid dust -- then it hit me! The only connection between roses and the empty grandmaster's hall was Valerie. I stopped running immediately as though I had suddenly run into a wall. Valerie. Why was her name coming up a lot in my mind today, and what could be the connection! But that was not a question I was asking myself, because I already knew the answer. The first time I had spoken with Valerie, she had led me into an empty dust-covered mathematics lab, and there had been roses. It could have been a coincidence that the Thinkers happened to like dust -- or maybe they were not even particular about dust, maybe that was just the place that was available for them, yet Valerie was becoming linked with the thinkers and
If my instincts were correct, we were somewhere on the downside of California. I took the bag off my head as soon as they killed the engine. "You're to keep that on till we've brought you before the master. If that would be difficult for you to do with your hands freed, we'd only be too glad to tie them at the back for you." One of the Vampires sitting in the front seat said, and I wondered not for the first time just how dumb they were -- for people who claimed to be the smartest on the planet. When they finally took off the bag from my head, I was in a long dusty hall. Again, the dusty emptiness was triggering a memory, one that I knew was very crucial, but I could not just recall what it was. "Come forward, dear friend." The teenage -- looking Vampire at the other end of the hall said, and knowing he was not asking, I stepped forward. "You know you could have used the good ole cell phone. It would have saved us the time -- of course, you can always hide your caller I
I drew in a breath. "I'm sorry Percy. I'm sorry for being stupid enough to be born a vampire, but those are reflexes I cannot control. I was alone, in a new place, and you were intimidating me, turning me on, but with the most commanding tone, I have ever known. Perhaps that was just my instincts acting, maybe, I wanted to leverage."'And do you have it now? Your leverage -- what has changed? Have you suddenly decided to trust me? There was a cynical bitterness in his voice, veiled by the cold indifference in his eyes. It shocked me.'You have not answered me, Amelia,' he prodded. 'What made you decide to trust me?' I lifted my chin. 'Trust is to be earned.'He lifted a brow, and a slow sardonic smile curved at his lips. 'And I have done nothing to earn it -- so you don't trust me?' I shook my head in answer when I saw he was waiting for one, confused as to why the answer to that question mattered so much to him. I did not have much time to think again, this time when he p
AMELIAThings got better after the car accident. Percy took off the silver from my neck, and he must have told his park to stay off me because everyone left me alone, but the damage was already done, I was broken.Every time I saw a couple walk hand in hand, I remembered Percy. I remembered what it had been like to kiss him for the first time, to have him make love to my body, even though he despised my mind. I could still feel the rough hands of the beta who had assaulted me anytime I sighted him, and he seemed to know how I felt, I guess it made him feel more like a male. I hadn't fed since the night of the club incident, and I felt very weak, though I tried to hide it. Even the thought of hunting alone drained my strength, so I was not tempted. Trying to cheer myself, I asked Alexa to play me a Johnny Drille song as I slow danced to it, pretending Johnny was singing those love songs to me, then I pretended he was Percy. The door to my room opened, and even before I turned
