All Chapters of Contract Marriage with the Vampire: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

"Faith! What's wrong? Please, calm down." William cooed to the broken girl in front of him. She was having a panic attack. Her little human heart was pounding in her chest, and she was gasping for breath through her choked sobs, with a torrential downpour raining upon her cheeks, shaking violently. She hadn't been in his world for more then an hour and a half, yet already she was close to a break down. William inwardly chastised himself for his earlier actions. What had he expected really? He told the girl blood-sucking nightmares were all around her, and then informed her that she was his prisoner for two whole weeks, before proceeding to lock her up alone in her bedroom. "Mi angioletto... please calm down." He pleaded as he held her close to his chest. "N-no..." She choked out, still trying to fight him, although lacking the strength to push him away. As if she were a baby, he rocked her in her arms tenderly, trying to bring her back to peace. He stroked her soft brown curls awa

William left after his tantrum, casting a dark cloud on the mood. Florence apologised for his behaviour, but it wasn't what Faith wanted to hear. Faith felt that if he was actually sorry for his treatment of her then he should have apologised himself. Sensing she wasn't in the mood to talk, Florence ordered breakfast in bed and switched her telly on, allowing Faith to choose a movie. They were halfway through the timeless Pride and Prejudice when there was a timid knock on the door, and William poked his head in, requesting to talk to Faith alone. Florence rolled her eyes and told them to play nice, before leaving the room and causing an awkward silence to grow."Hi Faith..." William began, swallowing loudly. "Are you ok? Well, of course you're not. I am really sorry about what happened earlier – I was just worried because I thought maybe someone with less then honourable interests took you, and then I was angry because I thought you ran away from me. There is no excuse really, but I'

One week down... Faith thought to herself as she continued writing in the notepad Katherine had thoughtfully supplied to her. It had been one hell of a week, but she was slowly becoming accustomed to life in the dark. She was definitely much more relaxed, and maybe even... happy. Whether this was a good or bad thing, Faith was yet to decide. She had spent most of her time with Florence and Katherine (and of course her sister was stuck to her like a Siamese twin), and had made a new friend in the maid called Lizzie. At first Lizzie was actually scared of Faith - or more correctly of what William would do if she upset her, but she had gotten over her fear when Faith asked her for help braiding her hair. She had also met the fourth sibling; John. He was incredibly charming and flirtatious, but Faith saw through his teasing mannerisms. How different he was from his brother! Faith guessed that William had to be the more grownup, sensible one as he was the future King of his people. How wei

After a delayed heartbeat of a moment bounced by, everyone frozen in shock, the guards jumped into action and unlocked the door, ripping the vampire off the man with some difficulty. As soon as the door swung open the mans gurgled howls of pain assaulted the room, as he convulsed on the floor. The vampire was desperately trying to escape to finish off his victim, as he was in a blood lust. A red strand of spittle was hanging from his left canine, swing precariously with every attempted lunge he made towards his dying victim.Florence and Viola rushed forward to help the poor man, but Viola had to retreat as she felt her most primal urges coming out to play. Faith saw her eyes flicker momentarily from green to black, making her take an unconscious step back further into the room, holding her sobbing sister close. Faith felt... numb. That could have been her, or worse, her sister. She was a fool for thinking she was safe. How could anyone be safe around these creatures? They were always

Faith's heartbeat rocketed in her chest, something that William must have noticed as his eyes sharpened."There is no reason for you to be scared Faith. I would never hurt you." William stressed.Did she believe him? He hadn't given her a reason not to. Well, not yet anyway. Since the beginning, he had insisted he was protecting her, and would always do so. Faith was coming to learn that William was treating her more then as his captive. Like his friend or familial member maybe. She wasn't sure how she would cope if it were anything more then that.Her secret wishes were forbidden to the very back of her mind."Ok William." She murmured with a blush gracing her cheeks, a blush William had come to love."You know Faith, every Monday – which is tomorrow by the way, there is a market on the top level. Would you like to come with me? For educational purposes obviously.""A vampire market?" She asked incredulously."Yes, it may help you with your studies of us." William shrugged with a gri
