"Votre Altesse, la pièce est dégagée, cependant, nous avons reçu des informations de nos sources au Vatican selon lesquelles ils prévoient d'attaquer le palais à 13h00 demain. Quels sont vos ordres, Votre Altesse?"

Translation:

"Your highness, the room is clear, however, we got some intel from our sources in the Vatican that they plan to attack the palace at 1300hrs tomorrow. What are your orders, your highness!"

"Alert the team at the palace to prepare for war. Warn my family they will know what to do!"

"Alright your highness, I'm on it!"

Translation:

"Très bien votre altesse, je m'en occupe !"

His head guard bowed and walked away. When I shouted out to Sebastian, he began going toward his room.

"Sebastian?" I called.

"Yes, Abigail," he sighs.

"What's the big deal about the Vatican, and why would vampires have to hide and battle these people?"

"Please, Abigail, there's no time for this," he adds as he starts walking out again.

"Please! Sebastian, you brought me along with you. I'm just as invested as you are. "I have a right to know what's going on."

He sighs deeply before speaking.

"Over time, humans created a huge organization among themselves known as the Vatican which was founded by The Roman Catholic Church."

I walked over to a nearby couch and sat, Sebastian following suit.

He continued.

"The institution hired the finest scientists who design new technology that advances year after year." The purpose of this diplomatic meeting is to ease tensions between our sides."

"So you hide all this from me? Why?"

"I know you, even if I offered you a lot of money, you'd never agree." Because you cherish your life and consider all options rather than just the money."

I sigh in surprise.

"You know, all this how?"

"I've absorbed you simply."

"Absorbed me? When did you have the time to do that? Between being a workaholic and keeping me up at night with all the ruckus your girlfriends make."

He smirks, devilishly chuckling.

"That is just one occasion. Was scared you actually knew me better than my own parents," I say laughing.

"Anyway, so you're saying they developed technology to kill vampires?"

"I know it can kill regular vampires." But pure-bloods, my mole tells me, they are being worked on right now."

"That makes sense given that pure-bloods are known to have a specific chemical called Draculin intermingled with them. It is a single-chain protein with 708 amino acids that distinguish pure-blood vampires from regular vampires."

"I had no idea you were that knowledgeable. But it makes sense; I'll pass this information along to my research team."

"Anyway, I'll go take a shower," I muttered as I walked away.

Our conversation was by far the most enjoyable I've ever had with him. It was almost as if he had never abducted me, confined me in a room for three weeks, and then brought me to his room for my safety. Talk about insane.

************************************

Ahhh!

I shouted in agony at the horrible pain I was experiencing. It felt like someone or something was crushing both sides of my skull together. When I opened my eyes, my gut clenched. My insides felt like they were being replaced by a black hole. Then sickness crawled from my stomach to my brain.

Sebastian's guards collapsed on the floor, wriggling in anguish and clutching their heads. Whatever it was, impacted vampires the most, Sebastian was walking over to me, gritting his teeth in what I assumed was pain.

"A-Abigail," he writhes in agony. "We have to...go," he adds quickly as he inhales sharply. "Now!"

Ka-Boom!

As we are blasted back by the explosion, there is a blinding light, followed by a loud ringing in my ears, and shards of wreckage are flying everywhere. The scent of wood fills my nostrils as I search for Sebastian, watching him get back up as he aids me as well.

Men clad in tight black leather all-in-one tracksuits, with their faces hidden behind a black glass-like helmet with a white stripe over their eyes. To prevent being compelled by vampires, most likely.

"Sebatian Vladmir, è passato del tempo."

Translation from (Italian): "Sebastian Vladimir, It's been a while."

He doesn't even wait for the leader to finish his sentence before grabbing my arms and sprinting towards the balcony.

"Prendili!" The distorted mechanical voice roared.

Translation: "Get them"

"Grab on to me Abigail!" he says urgently.

"B-b-but, I'm afraid of heights," I say grabbing him with all my might.

"Just co-..."

When I turned to look at him, I realized that he had been wounded with a silver syringe gadget that could be found in a sci-fi movie. A vibrant crimson and purple-black substance was in the syringe. I grabbed for it, noticing how much anguish it was giving him.

"No, Don't!" he groans, "F*ck!" he shouts in pain.

I return my gaze to the men as they approach. Sebastian's guards were all killed, their heads ripped from their bodies by the men.

I turned to face Sebastian, who was the frailest I'd ever seen him. As the deadly liquid made his veins black, he closed his eyes. I cried as the dark veins on his neck closed in.

"What am I supposed to do?" I sob uncontrollably, I say. I can't believe it. I was sobbing for the man who had kidnapped and kept me captive.

"Sadly, Nothing. Now cease them!"

At that point, I had given up and was about to take anything that came my way.

I remembered something I read in a book about blood healing and revitalizing vampires. I sliced my wrists by picking up a piece of glass with my hands behind my back. As the men approached, my pulse raced faster and the ringing in my ears increased. I immediately placed my bleeding wrist on his lips before being apprehended.
