Morning peaked around, Jade opened her eyes Gage was already gone for the day. She took a quick shower and headed to the kitchen for some breakfast, she wasn’t feeling great. She thought about staying in bed all day but her body wanted to walk around the castle for a little while. She wasn’t sure where she was allowed to go, and since she wasn’t under lock and key, she thought she would explore everywhere.
Most of the doors were locked, she didn’t mind that, there was probably nothing exciting behind the door anyway. She made her way to where she remembered the cellar being, she tried the door and it was unlocked. She made her way down, the prisoners were down there, they were chained up like before. She stayed away from them, she wasn’t sure if they were alive.Jade looked down at the blood in Gage’s hand, she wasn’t sure if he was testing her or if he was serious. She didn’t want to drink that stuff, she wasn’t sure if she wanted it. “Take it.” He said wanting her to take it. “I don’t want it.” She said shaking her head. “That’s gross.” “You need to drink it, it will help with your baby, and it will make you stronger, but if you don’t drink it, you are going to get sick.” He said with pleading eyes, “Please trust me, Jade, you were drinking if fine before today what has changed?” “I was?” she questioned. &n
“Where are you trying to gain from this Gage?” Jayden said without touching the other bag of blood. “What if I attack Jade, there isn’t much you’ll be able to do?” “No,” Gage said still leaning on the wall. “But the Queen is gaining power, she will stop you, and she’ll be able to kill you.” He said with a smile on his face. “That is why I allowed Jade to come down here alone before, I wanted to see what you would have told her, or would have asked her to do.” “I am not going to ask her to do anything,” Jayden said reaching for the blood. “You are just going to control her, and make her do things against her will, that is what you demons do isn’t it?” “To a point,” Gage said pushing himself off th
“I don’t know why she fainted, but you better not take her around Jayden, I don’t know what he is capable of doing, and I don’t want him hurting her.” Rachel snapped. “I don’t even know why you had her down there, are you playing games with him?” “No, Jayden and I have a history.” Gage mused. “Don’t worry he isn’t going to hurt his daughter, he had another daughter way back before when he was human. I killed them, so he has this thing to kill me it’s been a long time coming, but he’s never been able to.” Jade listened to the conversation, she wanted to know more about this daughter of Jayden, she didn’t know he had another daughter, what was she like? How old was she when she was killed? Why did Gage kill her? Pushing the door open, it stopped the conversation. Jade, sat down on the
Gage waited for Jade at the end of the hallway, he didn’t say anything. He didn’t want to upset her any more than she already was. He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her, she felt better knowing he didn’t say anything. They walked back to their room in silence.Jade didn’t want to see her father murdered, she didn’t want the Queen to kill him either. She wanted to ask Gage more about Jayden and their issues from the past. She wanted to know more about Jayden’s family before her. She wasn’t sure if Gage knew anything, he wasn’t the right person to ask anyway. “Are you okay?” he said as he closed the door. “Yeah, I guess.” She said without facing him. “I am just upset with everything. I don’t know what is real and what isn’t. I don’t know i
Jade wasn’t sure how she felt about what her mother was saying, she wasn’t sure she could muster up the courage and tell her to stop talking like she was. She stood there, listening, the anger was building. “You feel that way about your only daughter Rachel?” Jayden pressed on. “Yes, she only survived that accident because of you, she would have died in the woods if you weren’t there.” She snapped. “I wish you would have stayed away that night, you see Gage was there to make sure the accident happened.” She continued. “I was already on my way to becoming one of them, Jade was the blood sacrifice that was needed, but of course you stopped that, now I had to figure out another way around this, you see. So now she had to become one with them, well half of them. I brought up the Queen to them, they thought it wasn’t possible to bring her out if this fails I die and s
Jade ate her breakfast slow, she wasn’t feeling into it too much, but she knew she had to eat something. The cook took her dish away, and she left the kitchen. Walking the castle, she admired the beauty, it was old and a traditional castle, it had pictures of the area, she knew they were in some kind of area in England but she wasn’t sure where.Jade found herself in front of the cellar door again, it wasn’t open this time, but it was unlocked. She slowly opened it, and walked down the stairs, she could hear talking but she didn’t know the voices except for Jayden’s. she wasn’t sure if she should continue her steps, but the voices died down. “It’s okay Jade you could come down, it's just me with a couple of other vampires,” Jayden spoke. “Who are the others?” Jade said poking her head around the corner. &nb
Gage looked at Jade but she didn’t say anything, he wasn’t sure if she knew what happened downstairs. Rachel paced around the office like a crazy person, she glanced at Jade a few times. “Are you sure it was the Queen?” Rachel said looking at Gage. “Can anyone else make vampires just disappear?” Gage mused. “I know I can’t, Jade can’t.” “Hm,” Jade said bringing her attention to the conversation. “What is going on, what are you two talking about?” “You’re telling me you have no idea what happened downstairs Jade?” Rachel said grabbing her by the arm. “Your father is gone!” he snapped throwing her back in the
Jade was excited about finally going outside, she didn’t remember the last time she was out. Gage leads the way, he moved his hand and the door opened. The sun was bright and the breeze was light when they stepped outside. She took a deep breath, the smell of flowers greeted her she smiled big. “It’s been a while huh?” she said looking at Gage. “Yes. Your mother didn’t want you to come outside because there are people out there that want you dead or want to use the Queen for other things and we didn’t want to take a chance of something bad happening to you. But since the Queen seems to be getting strong, I think she can protect you a little better.” “You think she is going to protect me?” &ldq
