Chapter 2

Emma's PoV.

We're now at home, and we are getting ready to go to the club.

Bella said we need to celebrate. 

'Because we got fired, ofcourse.'

But anyways, clubbing is much more healthy than what people think. Our mind really needs to loosen up from the stressful routine we follow everyday.

"EMMA, COME HERE. FAST!" Bella shouts from her room. I put my lipstick back on the table and headed towards her room.

Bella and I live together and it's a long-short story. 

When my parents died, I was used to live alone here. The house was too big for a 10-year old girl. 

But soon after around half an year, Bella's house got destroyed in another vampire's attack.

'Vampires were such a pain in the head back then.' They still are though.

I suggested them to move in here. Bella's father already left them, so it was just her and her mother. 

And they shifted here.

Bella's mother was so nice, and always treated me as her own child. 

Just 3-years back, her mother died in a car accident. It was a very unpleasant experience. But I hope she lives peacefully in her afterlife.

"What?" I ask as I jump on her bed.

She's doing something on her laptop. 

"Read this." She speaks by rotating her laptop so that I can see the screen.

'KX Palace : Job vacancy for Servant Manager.' I read the heading.

Servant Manager for King Xavier's Palace. 

"You're applying for this?" I ask Bella.

"Not me, Dumb. You." She replies 

I laugh at her statement. This girl.

"I'm serious." She continues

"Nope." I said before standing up and leaving her room.

.

After arguing for straight thirty minutes of driving, we finally reached the club.

I step out of the car. 

I'm wearing a full sleeved high-neck black crop top with a pair of red leggings. And I straightened my long hair.

Bella is wearing a pretty short dark blue dress. Her hair is already straight so she just brushed them.

We are standing in front of the club and oh my gosh, the line is so long!

"Give me a second!" Bella says and walks to the huge guy who is standing at the door and blocking the way of going in.

After I guess ten seconds, she turns around and gestures to me to come. I walk to her and the man slides to give us the way, he's smiling widely. What did she say to him!? 

Anyways, who cares. We went straight to the bar as we moved in and ordered four Devil Springs shots. This would be enough to lighten up.

I somewhat agreed to apply for that job because Bella just won't stop babbling. I don't know what caught her attention. 

But anyways, it's a palace job so the salary would be exciting.

"Here you go beautiful ladies," The bartender says as he brings our shots.

And after gulping the Devil, we shifted to the dance floor which is already burning in heat and sweat. 

.

"Emma, I'm going up." Bella shouts in my ear. I turn around and see a tall man behind her. Oh! come on.

I look back at her with a 'come-on-bitch' expression. 

She winks at me before leaving with the guy.

It isn't even an hour, and this girl is ready to spoil bedsheets.

I scoffed and continued dancing. 

"I warned myself that I shouldn't play with fire,

 but I can tell that I'll do it one more time!

don't trust in myself -hmm- not good for my health -hmm-

you mess with my hea-"

"Hey!!" I turn around to see who just spoke in my ear. 

A tall guy with green eyes, black hair which is looking pink because of the lights here and a razor sharp jawline. My gaze moves to his broad chest and his biceps which are pulling off his shirt. He is hot.

'Time for you to spoil bedsheets!' Shut up mind.

"Hey!" I utter while continuing swaying my hips.

"Umm, can I join you?!" He asks.

I nodded with a smile. At least I have a company now.

.

I must say, this guy is really nice. He, not even once, tried to touch me in any uncomfortable way.

But Bella, why isn't she back yet!?

It's been almost one hour of me dancing with him.

'That tall man clearly has got some stamina!' No way! One hour is too much, what if Bella is in trouble? 

I have to find her.

"I have to find my friend, you carry on." I said to the guy I was dancing with, before turning around. I hear muffled 'heys' behind me from the same guy but Bella is more important right now.

I somehow manage to get out of the crowded dance floor and I head straight to the upper floor.

I open every door only to listen to loud moans and screams. So much love everywhere. 

I've almost reached the end of the corridor where the music is no more audible, I can only listen to the faded beats but Bella, she's seen nowhere. 

'Where are you fucking, Bella?'

My gaze moves to the way extending at the right of the corridor, which is all dark ahead.

 I didn't know here was another long passage. She can't be there?

I gulped. 

There's nothing like ghost Emma, move in.

"Bella are you there?" I speak as I start to move in that direction.

No response. I continue to walk. The more I'm going in, the sound of my heels clacking against the floor is increasing. In other situations I'd love to hear this but right now it is making me uncomfortable. 

"Bella?" I said again, this time louder.

 Still no response. I stop.

'Okay, okay. She might not be here. Let's go back!'

Before any second thought crashes on my mind, I  immediately turn around to walk.

 I see a ray of light far from me. I didn't realise, I came a little too far searching for her. 

I can hear my own heartbeat between the clacking sound produced by my heels. 'This silence is disturbing.'

I start to walk a little faster and just as I'm almost at the end, out of nowhere someone holds me by my waist and drags me behind with an inhuman speed.
