She promised. Gabrielle promised she wouldn't do anything rash. It had been two weeks since Gabrielle left and the whole realm was in absolute fucking shit. Adrian had left and only returned some nights with nothing but blood all over his body. He didn't speak. He didn't sleep. Of course I didn't leave when he told me to. He needed me, even when he thought he didn't. I took over the organisation of the ships and the training of the army. The only servant that he allowed in was Luzo, but she notified me that he wasn't eating and drinking at all. Bar the three bottles of whiskey a day. She had apparently given him a pair of pyjamas of Gabrielle and had them with him every time she entered the red quarters. The black stallion was properly cared for, and the dog that was never allowed in the castle, slept with him. Nobody was allowed in his quarters, which meant he also didn't get any lust. It hadn't stop raining since that one faithful morning and nothing grew anymore. The lack of l
"Okay, class! Welcome to Lake Ariel! Behave yourselves tonight or you will be sent home! Get sorted in your bungalows, and then come back for the team building!" Mr. Stevenson shouted. Anticipation was high in the air. We were on our school trip, marking three weeks since I had left the demon realm. My heart was still in pieces but I tried to get back to normal. I had failed miserably so far, every time I looked at the spot where he materialised when we summoned him brought back painful memories. I already felt better being out here, away from everything. I had tried reading up on summoning a demon every single day, but nothing worked. There were just no correct internet searches. I guess Anna had inside information on how to summon one. Perhaps she had Shea's number from when she was in the demon realm the last time. Mr. Stevenson had made a miraculous recovery suddenly, and completely healed from his body trauma. Another reminder of... Him. "Let's just make one big bed on the flo
We actually reached halfway Lake Ariel very quickly. We were in the middle of the deep blue water, with teams all around us. Some were still in the water, some rafts broke and some were getting to the other side fast. The three guys were on their knees paddling, making the raft float over the water like it was a boat with an engine. "MATT, NO!" Elyse suddenly screamed next to me. Matt was swimming to us with a grin on his face. "Come in the water, babe, it's lovely!" Matt shouted loudly. "Faster, guys!" Dante urged. He was moving his arms like his life depended on it. Matt was swimming faster however, and grabbed Aiden's ankle, who looked at Matt in alarm. "Come for a dive, dude." Matt said with a smile, pulling him swiftly. I quickly grabbed Aiden by his shoulders and pulled him back on the raft, stepping over him in the process. I then tried to push Matt off but he almost pulled me off instead. Aiden suddenly grabbed me by my waist from behind and pulled me to him. Making electric
The bag of sugar was still completely full, so I quickly snatched it from the ground, ripped it open and threw the contents away from me. Right in Aiden's face. Who looked shocked. A loud laugh escaped me but that changed into a cry when he yanked the bag out of my hands and emptied the entire bag over my head. Our team erupted. The simple contest of trying to bake a cake over an open fire turned into an all out food fight. Sugar, flour, salt, butter, apples, carrots and water was thrown about and Aiden had his target set on me with another bag of flour in his hands. "Surrender." He said in a commanding tone with narrowed eyes and a smile around his lips. I quickly grabbed some eggs off the floor, and aimed at him. "Never." I responded. He eyed the eggs with uncertainty. "You surrender." I ordered, pulling my hand back and getting ready to strike. "Not today," he said before jumping towards me with a yell. I threw the egg, but it missed Aiden and he rugby tackled me against a tree.
He gripped my waist tighter and only let go once I was fully seated. Releasing a big breath and checking if everybody was in, I started the car and we tried the process again. The car jumped and drove over rocks, through big puddles of water and under branches. "I love driving." I said in thought. "Better than riding a horse?" Aiden asked me suddenly. I whipped my head to him and for a moment, I was lost in his eyes. Dracula. Dracula was still with Adrian. I hoped he was taking care of him properly. "No. Not better than riding a horse." I answered truthfully and looked forward again. "You mean Dracula?" Fay asked me out of nowhere. "Who is Dracula?" Dante asked. "I want a horse." Elyse said at the same time with a dreamy expression. Aiden whipped his head to them, and then to me. Almost like he was shocked by something. Maybe he had a phobia of vampires. "Where to?" I asked Aiden, who was still looking shocked. The paper was in his hands and I put my elbows on the middle part to
"Alright. I will ask again tomorrow." He simply said whilst shrugging his shoulders. "Maybe my burger will persuade you." He got a burnt looking burger from the barbecue and put it on a plastic plate and walked to the table with the bread and the sauces. He stared at other hamburgers for a second before building me one with everything on it that he could possibly put on there. He gave the plate to me with an uncertain look. "That burger is meant to persuade her?" Dante asked loudly, making everybody around us grin. "I'm better at other things." Aiden responded with a wink, earning an 'ooooooooohh' from everybody around us and making my cheeks pink. "Calm down, bro. If you want to get anywhere near those panties, you'll have to go through the test first." Fay said seriously to Aiden. He frowned at her. "What test?" "The friends test. Duh. If you're not good enough, you won't get near Gabrielle's secret box." Elyse added in with a smirk. Matt was behind her and nodded. "It's true."
"So then, he just asked her out on a date. And Fay being Fay, she hit him in the nose. Blood spurted out, actually spraying on his clothes. It was gruesome. Nobody asked Fay on a date anymore after that." "Reggie, tell the complete story please. He didn't just ask me on a date. He touched my ass. The hit was completely called for." Fay answered Reggie. I walked into the living room where my friends stood in the kitchen with drinks in their hands. They all laughed at Fay's comment and I kept my eyes on Aiden. "Hey, Elle. Want a drink?" Matt asked me who stood next to Aiden with a big smile on his face. "Not if you make it, I don't want to die of alcohol poisoning." I joked. They all turned to greet me and continued talking about Fay's dating life. "Hi," I shyly said to Aiden when I took my spot next to him, "Sorry for calling you childish earlier." He smiled down at me. "Do not apologise." He simply said. His gaze stayed on mine, and I looked back at him. Was he... Really Adrian?
I sucked on his skin and his body tensed more and more. His hand gripped my waist painfully tight. My legs were wide, but I wished I could close them. An intense sensation roared through my lower body. "That's enough." Dante grumpily said behind me. I smiled, put some extra force on and ended it with a kiss on his neck. Afterwards, I put my mouth by his ear. "I said I would tell you something about myself.... My favourite colour is light blue." My whisper made his entire body freeze. He shifted his head to me and with a grin, I sat back. "What's your favourite food?" "No, no, I promised you just one thing. You'll have to do something else to get another answer." I responded. I lifted my body off of him and sat next to him again. "Jesus, Elle!" Elyse exclaimed, looking at Aiden's neck. "My god! You can't date anyone else now with that fucker on your neck!" Fay loudly laughed. My wide eyes also looked at the big, purple mark that sat on his skin. Oops. It was a really big one. "Seems
