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 theJade 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
Jade needed a plan, she didn’t want to go with them to their realm, she still wanted to get out of there before they made her go. She finished her food and washed the dishes that were left. Rachel stood by the window she didn’t follow Jade out of the kitchen. Jade walked around the castle looking for a way out. She decided to try down in the cellar since there were no more prisoners down there, Gage and his gang hadn’t been down there in a while, so she thought maybe there was a way out down there. Walking past where Jayden was kept, there was a big door it was closed, Jade used all her strength she was barely able to open it, looking inside it was dark. She wasn’t sure if she should go down there, walking back upstairs she grabbed one of the torches and headed back down and into the dark hallway. &n
“Yeah well, that’s a little different Jade,” Gage said without looking at her. She was right, but he couldn’t change that. He was in love with her, and it wasn’t because of the baby she was carrying. Something about her changed the way he felt. Jade didn’t say anything, she knew her words met something to him, and she wanted him to think about that. She felt something deep for him. She felt love. “The Queen said my father could find me on your realm?” “Yes,” Gage said looking down at her. “But vampires won’t travel there, it’s far too dangerous for them. Lots of demons, and we lust for their blood. It would be instant death for them. They tried it centuries ago, and they lost a huge part of their population, Jayden was among them, he was one of th
Rachel’s face turned bright red, she was embarrassed. “I missed this side of you mom,” Jade said getting up and hugging Rachel. “I don’t know why we couldn’t be like this more often. I wish you never lost yourself in the years leading up to this.” “Me either, I am sorry Jade.” Rachel said hugging her tighter. “I hope that we can repair our damaged relationship.” “I think we will be able to Mom.” She said moving away from her. “Besides you are going to be a grandma, and you better spoil this little guy.” “Oh you know I plan to.” “Jade.” The Queen came into her head. “I’d suggest you get a dagger.” “Why?” she inquired. “They are not planning on tak
Jade followed Gage around, Rachel trailed them, she felt out of place there. She didn’t want to be a slave, but she was glad to be with her daughter. Jade admired everything about the castle, but she didn’t fit in that well. Everyone stared at her and made her feel weird, but they bowed their head when she neared them. “Are you overwhelmed?” Gage asked. “Yes,” Jade said looking around. “Part of me wants to run and hide, and the other part wants me to tell these people to stop staring at me, they are making me mad.” She said looking at the people. &nbs
Gage came back a little while later, he was worried but he tried to remain calm. “The Elders want to do the dedication tonight, they want your introduction as well.” He said looking at Jade and then Rachel. “You are to watch our son, don’t even think about doing anything to him.” “I wouldn’t harm my grandson,” Rachel growled. “That’s not what I meant.” Gage rolled his eyes. “You need to keep him here and safe, not everyone here likes the fact that Jade is going to be our leader. They expected the Queen to be in control.” “So I’ll let her,” Jade said closing her eyes. &
