" Mo ", a sweet voice called out to me. I got up as I saw Paloma walking across the courtyard in my direction. I had not spoken with her since the horrific dinner last time. I hadn't spoken to anyone since, actually."Hello", my voice came out as whispered.Paloma stopped a few feet away from me and watched as I stood up to greet her. After gazing at my features silently for a moment before she pulled me for a hug."Oh, Mo," she whispered, "I have missed you so much she said with a sad expression". You died many years ago; how come you came back?My arms slowly wrapped around the small woman before me, and a lump formed in my throat.This situation was almost too much to cope with. Emotion tore in my heart."It is nice to see you, my friend," I said, looking at her beautiful face. The corners of her lips lifted as she took my hand."Let's go inside- I wish to speak with you privately". She said.Paloma sat in the chair across me as she lifted a cup, filled with a dark elixir to
"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
IRIS POV I woke up to my phone vibrating; It was Royce. I pick up my phone, wondering what he wants."Good morning Princess, what did you tell Mom?" he asked."I told her you were getting back with Jasmine and that I met a boy named Dimitri." "Fuck! That means Jasmine's going to have to be around." He replied."It doesn't matter, we still have each other.""Well, luckily, my dad's packing up now; I'll see you soon," he said.At least the plan worked, I make my way downstairs. "Hey, Mom, why so happy?"" Jackson's on his way here!" Mom said. "Oh, good," I said even though I already knew.I sit on the couch, waiting for Royce to come through the door; I can't wait to see him. Time flies fast; I hear the door open. "Hey, Nora," Dad said as he kissed mom. "Hi babe, Hi Royce." Mom said."Hey." Royce walks up to his room with a bag in his
JASMINE POV I can't stop crying, how could Royce do this to me? We've been together for as long as I can remember, he chose that bitch over me? As I lay in my bed I realize something, I have a picture of Royce and that bitch kissing at the party. I could send it to his Dad, and then Royce will be mine again. I grabbed my phone and looked for his Dad's contact, and I found it. "Hello Mr. Jackson, This is Jasmine. The other day, I was at a party, and I saw Royce and Iris kissing. He brought me a surprise, so I took a picture." "That can't be right, let me see this picture." his dad said. I send the picture over. "See?" "Oh gosh, well thank you for telling me. I'll talk to him," he said. Perfect! They'll be broken up in no time, and I'll be able to have my boyfriend back...
IRIS POV "Who is she?" "Tell me, Royce," I asked hitting him. "I'm Jasmine, his girlfriend, and why are you kissing my boyfriend, you slut" she said, pushing me off of him. "Get your hands off me, you bitch!" I slap her off me. "Royce, Where did you find this white trash?" as she gives me a dirty look. I push her to the ground with raging anger. White trash? Who the fuck does she think she is? I hold her down on the ground and punch her right across the face while she scratches my cheek. " Iris, get off her!" Royce said as he pulled me over. "Are you fucking kidding me?" "You told me you broke up with her?" as I feel tears welling up in my eyes. "We never broke up?" Jasmine
IRIS POV I wake up to the sound of my phone vibrating. Oh shit, it's Mom. "Iris, where the fuck are you?""Are you with Royce????" Yes, Mom!Come home quickly!"Royce wake up". "Hey, good morning, Sexy.""Royce, we have to go; Mom knows I'm not in my bed.""Oh shit, let's go. Hurry." We ran to the road, as we hail a cab home."What am I going to tell her?""Just say we went out to buy breakfast; on our way, we buy McDonald's." "Okay." as I send Mom a message. Royce and I went to get the food and make our way home. As the driver pulled into the driveway, I saw Mom standing outside waiting for us; as I walked to her, she seemed pissed."Good morning, Mom; we got you breakfast to make up for what happened yesterday," I said as I handed her the bag."Thank you, I thought you guys snuck out." She said relieved. "What?
IRIS POV I wake up cuddled to Royce, he's so cute. I jump in despair, our parents! "Royce, wake up." I continued shaking him. "Wake up!" "How long were we sleeping princess?" as he lightly kisses my forehead. "Royce, our parents!" "Stop whining I bet they aren't even here," he said as he got up. We both rush downstairs hoping they are not at the dining table, Fuck. As I slowly walk to the dining table staring at my mom, she looks upset. "So you guys took a nap huh?" She said lightly rolling her eyes. "Yeah, I was helping Royce with some work and we fell asleep." "Work, okay." Mom stares into my eyes. She got up and served dinner; the silence was so loud. I feel nervous, wondering what Mom saw that made her so mad. Dad clears his throat. "How's Jasm
IRIS POV Before we reached home, It was already 6 pm. I rushed to my room, still thinking about what had happened; I decided to shower since I felt stickiness between my thighs. So I went to bathe, letting the hot water melt into my skin as I felt so relaxed after some time I came out of the shower, dried my hair, and put on my clothes Now I feel much more relaxed than before and jump in my bed as I was exhausted. After some minutes I slept off. ***************************************** I woke up around 11, still exhausted. I got out of bed, brushed my teeth, and made my way downstairs, hoping to see Mom. Hum, Royce is sitting in the living room. "Look who finally woke up," Royce said with a grin. "It's only 11," I said as I sat far away from him. "Iris, there is some food in the fridge; I have to g
IRIS POV I wake up to the sound of Royce's beautiful voice. "Good morning, sexy" as he lightly places his hand on my stomach. "Morning." I let out a little moan. Suddenly I jump out of bed. "Oh My God Royce, you shouldn't be in here. Our parents could come at any moment." "Relax," he said as he got up, grabbed his clothes off the floor, and made his way out. I walk to the bathroom brush my teeth, bathe, and rush downstairs for breakfast. "Good Morning Kids." Mom said. "Morning Mom." " Morning Mom" "You okay, Iris? You just stormed off at dinner last night!" "Oh..I... I'm... fine" I stutter. "I was wondering if you guys wanted to go to this pool party my friend is hosting," Mom said with a smile on her face. "Sure, I'll be happy to go." "Fine," Royce said.
IRIS POV I woke up to the smell of bacon. Yummy! I jump out of bed and rush down the stairs to eat; as I make my way downstairs, I see Royce eating with Dad at the dining table. "Good morning, where's Mom? "She went to run some errands," Dad said. "I made breakfast though!" as he brought a plate for me. "Thank you, Dad," as I sit down to eat. "Dad, can I borrow your car?" Royce asked. "For what?" Dad said. "I'm going to see Jasmine today," Royce said. "Oh sure, tell her Hi for me" "Who's Jasmine?" "Royce's girlfriend, they've been dating for years, I'm hoping they get married!" Dad said as he chuckled. "Dad, stop," Royce said as he stared at me. He's seeing his girlfriend today, after all, he hasn't seen her for the past few days. I rushed to finish my brea
IRIS POV I woke up because of the sound of a pan falling on the floor; my mom Is clumsy, so I don't think much about It.I run downstairs to see Royce in the kitchen. "Cooking breakfast!?""Not for you," he said as he turned around. He wore gray sweatpants and a black shirt, fuck, so hot."Where is Mom and Dad?" "Who knows," he said."You know you look so hot in that underwear; last night, I couldn't stop thinking about you," he adds.I bite my lip. "Oh yeah," I said as I moved closer to him, showing him my underwear."Stop it," he said as he let out a light moan. "I know you like it." "Get off me," he said as he walked over to the dining room.I scoff!Yesterday he couldn't get his hands off me and now he's pushing me away?"What's wrong? You seemed into me yesterday.""Into you? I have a girlfriend, for God's sake
