Chapter Two

Maggie’s Point of View

I ran through the castle towards Cole’s office. I hoped my absence hadn’t been noticed but unfortunately, it had. I wasn’t allowed to venture into the human world without one of my big brothers to accompany me, but I was bored and they were busy. I was safe, I could protect myself, even against a fully grown adult male. He would be in more danger than I... if he tried to hurt or attack me. 

I pushed open the heavy wooden door and put my head inside. Cole was sitting behind his desk, Staring right at me. 

Oh dear, He wasn’t happy at all. 

‘Cole, Please don’t be mad at me. I wasn’t gone for very long and I promise I was sensible’. He didn’t answer me. ‘Please, Cole? Pleaseeee?’ I whined, I knew it annoyed him but it was sure to give me an answer. He roared loudly and slammed his hand down on his desk, making me jump. 

‘Enough with the constant whining Maggie! I heard you the first time!’. He shouted loudly. I turned on my heels and ran back out of the room. He knows not to shout at me like that! 

Heading back to my bedroom, I bumped into Constantine. 

‘Hey, where’s the fire, little one?’ He asked with a smile, bending down to pick me up. Constantine was the friendliest member of our family. For a Vampire, he still had so much humanity and compassion. 

‘Cole yelled at me’. I told him, pouting. He signed and started carrying me back in the direction of Cole’s office. I just pouted some more. He didn’t know, he just carried me straight in and approached my mean big brother, still sitting behind his desk. 

‘Cole, Maggie says you yelled at her’. 

‘Maggie keeps breaking the rules and needs to know it's not acceptable behaviour, brother’. Constantine sat down on one of the chairs and put me on his lap. 

‘I’m sure she's sorry, Aren’t you?’ I crossed my arms. 

‘No. It's boring in the castle!’. I snapped. Con nudged me and told me to apologise... Which I did, but I didn’t mean it, and Cole knew it. 

‘If you are bored in the castle, you come and find me or Constantine and we will take you out’. 

‘You’re always busy!’. I yelled back. Cole let out a long, annoying sign, while Con just chuckled quietly. ‘And then you always get mad at me’. I looked up and noticed his frown turned into a sympathetic smile and he called me over. I jumped off Con’s lap and ran around the desk to him. He picked me up.

‘I’ll leave you two to make up’. Constantine announced before leaving the room. 

‘So, where did you go then?’ He asked me and I beamed a smile. I couldn’t wait to tell him all about the nice girl I had met, Ginny. 

‘I went to the Human world and there was this girl, She had a really cute dog and she was nice and her name was Ginny, like Ginny from my story book and she was really pretty and I bet you’d like her and-’ 

‘Maggie, calm down. Now, What about this ‘’Ginny’’ girl?’ I sighed and rolled my eyes. Honestly, it's like he doesn’t listen! 

‘Her name is Ginny and she’s really pretty. She had a cute dog too!’. I told him happily. She smiled. 

‘You know you’re not meant to talk to strangers when you go out’. 

‘But she was nice and friendly!’. I defended myself against yet another one of Coles excessive rules. 

‘That may be so but not every human is, so you need to be careful. Please, in future come to me or your brother about going out’. I just nodded, giving in. I did hate fighting with Cole, and living with him was much better than living with mother… or god-forbid, father. ‘You know I’d never send you to live with father, don’t think that again!’. He told me sternly. 

‘I’m sorry’. I hated when he read my thoughts, it wasn’t fair. 

‘Right, go get washed up and I will get Constantine to take you out, ok?’ I kissed his cheek and screamed a loud ‘’OK!’’ As I ran out of the room again, I heard him chuckle but I was just so excited to go out again! 

I love being out of the castle! 

Cole’s Point of View 

I chuckled as Maggie left the room. Her eagerness to explore was adorable but it does get her into trouble sometimes. I just want what is best for her. I knew Maggie’s favourite places to visit so finding this ‘’Ginny’’ girl would be easy enough. 

While she was talking about her, I could see the girl's face clear in Maggie’s mind. It caught my interest and I wanted to see this girl for myself. 

Standing, I headed out of my room, Grabbing my jacket off the rack on my way. 

‘Belle!’. I ordered, knowing she was within hearing distance. I could smell her and hear her thoughts. I carried on down the stairs, she appeared behind me and followed. 

‘I’m here, Master, is something wrong?’ She asked in her usual panicked tone. Belle was one of the good slaves, I never normally had any issues with her, so I often just left her alone, but tonight, I was in the mood for something different. 

‘I’m going out’. I told her, not even bothering to give her a glance over my shoulder, ‘I have some business I need to sort out, when I get home, Please be waiting for me in my bedroom’. 

‘Y-yes, of course’. 

‘You can go now’. I told her, reaching the bottom of the steps and headed straight out the door, slamming it loudly behind me. I knew she was involved with my brother, but he hadn’t had the manners to tell me about it. Belle belonged to me, so whether they were involved or not, she was mine to do as I wished... 

And tonight… I wished to f*ck her...
