“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
Jade watched Gage get the bath ready, she wanted to soak, she was ready to just lay there and let everything work itself out. “Alright are you ready for your bath?” he said coming out of the bathroom. “I will come and get you when your bath is ready.” He said smiling. “Yeah.” She said getting up. “Thanks for running this bath for me, you know I need this.” Gage didn’t stick around, Jade took off her clothes and climbed into the bath. The water was hot just the way she liked it. She laid her head back and closed her eyes. She replayed things that had happened. She thought about the accident and everything that happened before that. Sadly she couldn’t remember anything. She wondered if it was because of the
Gage didn’t say anything, he knew Jade was connecting with the Queen and that was going to be a good thing. Maybe it would work out for him too. He didn’t want the Queen to destroy him, he knew the darkness she held. He led Jade to the kitchen, the aroma of chicken and mashed potatoes greeted them when they entered the kitchen. “I missed this!” Jade exclaimed when they entered. “Thank you for having someone cook this for me.” She said sitting down at the table digging into the food. Gage just watched her eat, he said nothing. “Do you want to try some of this?” Jade said looking at Gage. He looked like he was thinking about something. “No thanks.” Gage half-smiled. “Enjoy yourself, I am going to
