"Paloma"? I called again. It wasn't like her not to respond. A sudden sickly feeling began to eat its way through my stomach- perhaps it wasn't her at all. My eyes stayed glued to the bathroom door as I contemplated getting out of the bathtub.I watched as the door handle turned, and I held my imaginary breath as it began to open. I first saw black combat boots- and then black cargo pants that clung to strong legs. I let my eyes skim up his body; at this point, I didn't know who it was until they landed on his face. The water suddenly went cold.The man in front of me was Fredrick- there was no doubt about that. His handsome suffocated me the moment he walked into the bathroom.Goosebumps began to form on my arms; however, when I looked into his eyes.They were softer and held an abundance of emotion that I couldn't quite recognize."What are you doing here?" I whispered, almost afraid to say anything. I heard a nagging voice in my head chanting words I couldn't quite understa
I hope he won't see my thoughts lying underneath. With rage, the queen took one last look at me and stormed out."Did you miss me, my love"? He teased. I held back my smart-ass remark and took a step closer to him.He raised his eyebrow in question."I did, my king" I quietly said. Fredrick's smirk wiped off and he stood from his chair."Cut the bullshit bitch; You never call me king- what is your issue tonight, my dear Molly"?I forced my mind to calm down and spoke confidently."I am tired of staying here- I want you to release me", I said. A dark chuckle danced threw the air."Stupid bitch- what have I told you?You are mine, you are never leaving this place", he spat. Fredrick took three giant steps forward and yanked me to himself. His lips slammed into mine and I screamed in his mouth as I tried to pull away.Finally, he let me go and I slapped him hard."This is it," I thought to myself. I only had this one chance, just as I hadsuspected Fredrick straightened his head w
The sun had just begun to rise when I found my way into a town. I hurriedly ran into a hotel and approached the front desk."Hello," I greeted the receptionist, please, I need a room.The man was about 30 and held an unamused look; His eyes lingered on my face for longer than he would have."How many nights?" That is all he replied. I licked my lips and quietly whispered one. I did not want to stay in one place too long, so I pulled out some cash that I had taken from Paloma a few months ago. The man's wandering eye looked at my outfit, and I prayed to God that he did not try anything funny, for I did not know what I was capable of doing to him.My room smelled like a farm, and then the bed looked tattered and worn. An uneasy feeling twirled around my stomach as I locked the door."What now"? I thought to myself.I had limited cash, no map, and nowhere to go. I'm sure by now the palace people most had realized I was missing and that vile man would rip apart every corner of the e
Hearing his deep voice made goosebumps appear on my arms. I sighed and nodded yes, agreeing with him.Fredrick's hands wrapped around my waist and he pulled me off the floor with him. He cradled me like I would disappear at any moment and put me in the back seat of a black car and just like that, we were off to an unknown destination. I was not afraid, I was not paranoid. I was so happy- and those are the last thoughts I remember before sleep took me once again.When I woke I felt kisses being peppered all over my face, memories flooded back to me and I reached out pulling Fredrick as close as I could. I felt so foolish for acting so lost without him but I could not control myself. I heard him lightly chuckle and my panties moistened. Get hold of yourself, I thought to myself.I was in no position to be intimate with him before I told him everything that happened. I was broken, confused woman. I deserved answers.We stepped out of the car and entered an underground house. Th
"I know this is a lot, Molly, I am so sorry for all that has happened. I have so much to tell you", he stated as he brought his forehead down to mine."Who brought me back"? My voice cracked. Fredrick brought his blue eyes down to mine and I shivered at how penetrating his stare was."That, my darling, is what I'm trying to figure out; when I heard that you were brought back, I thought it was a joke.I sneak into the palace to see you but couldn't take you with me until I knew it wasn't a plot from the devil himself". I frowned.The night began to catch up to me, I had learned so much but was left with so many questions. Where has Fredrick been all this time? Why are they calling him king? Who brought me back? It was all too much. As if he could sense my confusion Fredrick picked me up and walked out of the room."You need to rest, my love," he said gently.I quietly agreed.I was brought into a room bigger than any room I'd ever lived in before. I knew it was Fredrick's room b
My head slumped back onto the floor and I sighed as the atmosphere in the room changed. What once was a firestorm was now a cold waterfall.I heard Fredrick sigh as well before he leaned over and kissed me in the middle of my back. I closed my eyes when his lips touched my skin.His strong hands ran up my thighs and slowly put them back together. I leaned into his chest when he pulled me up off the floor. My face was red, slightly self-conscious about being naked in front of him but mostly sexually frustrated."Why don't you wear my clothes love"? He suggested. I turned my head and politely smiled at him. He leaned in and kissed the top of my nose, snuggling it into his own.We exited the room into the chaos of the hideout. People were bustling everywhere, barging through doors and yelling commands on phones.We went back to the office where his generals sat waiting for him.I avoided eye contact with all of them.I'm sure they were aware of what took us so long."Someone tell
The stars always seemed brighter in November. My eyes skimmed over the twinkling lights, and I felt an internal peace that one can only explain as absolute happiness. The wind blew my now hair around my face and I felt a grin stretch across my lips.A storm is coming, the rain began to pour and I watched the dessert around me finally be drenched in water. The cacti tried their best to soak up every drop and I knew that all who inhabited this place were thanking God for quenching their thirst.I turned around and slowly walked back to the camp. I had been hunting for small creatures as I had not had any blood for two days now, but I would have to wait once again.I know you must be wondering why I am drinking blood; it is all thanks to Fredrick that I have been a vampire for the last two months.I followed a dirt path until an army tent came into view- I was still amazed at how large they were.Twenty tents large enough for 10 people to fit inside, each one littered the horizon.An
My foot was tingling.I slowly awoke from my slumber and without opening my eyes, I stretched my legs out to try and decrease the sensation. I had a habit of sleeping on my side, and sometimes my leg would fall asleep, and I'd wake up being numb.I heard the chat of men, bustling around the camp. I knew it had to be night time or they would not be out.I decided to stay in bed longer before I realized I was alone in the tent. Fredrick normally held me in bed, therefore he had to be out working already.I lifted my head and looked around the tent. I saw two blood bags sitting beside my clothes and I did not doubt that Fredrick wanted me to drink them. I stretched out my arms before I got up and grabbed a clean pair of clothes.I didn't have any options, so I went with a neat pair of plain underwear, clean socks, black leggings, and a light purple crop top. I braided my hair and made a mental note to trim it; if it got any longer, it would go below my bottom. I didn't have any ma
