o7.
'Dear mom and dad,
Doctor Marshall mention I should hang out at a friend house this week. So I'm going over to a girl house I work with, her name is Ally. I'm sorry I couldn't tell you guys, I didn't want to bother you both at work. Have a good night. -Dorinda.'
I laid the note right in the middle of the coffee table and Kayla was raising her sweater up. I raised an eyebrow, "What are you doing?", I asked.
She pulled her sweater over her head I saw a normal pink v-neck shirt. "Sorry, I couldn't stand wearing that. You ready?",
"Uh," I said, looking down at my work uniform, "Maybe I should change.",
"We have no time, Dorinda. I'll let you borrow something of mine.", she took my hand and reached into her pocket, pulling out something that looked like diamond, but it was crystal blue. She placed it on the floor and crushed it with her foot. A second later, a portal that was the size of a door pop up. It was like the one I went throw with Lucas when I came back, but this one was a baby blue color with a mixture of purple. "Ready?", she asked.
I nodded my head, "Yeah."
Then we step through the portal.
30 seconds later...
I stepped out of the portal nice and straight without falling this time. But I think it's only cause I was holding onto Kayla. I took in my surroundings, we were in a room I don't remember. It was a good descent size room with a good queen size bed with a beautiful gold and white comforters with a beautiful design on it. A nice normal size tv. A slide closet and the walls were wooden as the floor were to.
"Are we in Lucas palace?", I asked Kayla as she walked over to a closet.
She slide open the closet door, "Yeah. This room is in higher palace where guest use to come and stay, but guest now prefer the newer ones, so I'm sleeping here pretty much.". She pulled out a olive color sundress with strapped gold flat sandal. "Here, put this on.",
My forehead wrinkled, "Why?", I asked, taking it though.
She put her hand on her hip, "Cause you can't go to the King and Queen dressed in a Starbucks uniform--and why did you even start working there.? You sink of coffee and cake.", she said, covering her nose.
"Well.", I said, unbutton my shirt, "I didn't want to be at home alone all the time. I hate the feeling of being alone.", I said. As I took off my shirt and pant, I notice Kayla face expression. Sad. "You okay?", I asked.
"How are my parents and John?", she asked, looking at the floor.
I hesitated before putting on the dress and answering, "Their um--they miss you.", I said, throwing the dress on. I had to suck in my stomach just a little cause it was a little tight. I finally notice how flat her stomach has gotten. The skirt of the dress went all the way to my knee.
"Are they doing well?",
Her parent's are a wreck. Her mother quiet teaching. Her father started drinking. Her brother, John, is getting into trouble at school. I don't know if I could tell her that. "They're doing okay. They're kind of mad at me.",
She looked up at me, "Why?",
"Cause," I said, sitting on the bed, "I told everyone I was kidnapped and didn't know where I was. That I didn't know where I was and the guy kept me up and blind folding me and I didn't who he was. I told them I couldn't remember anything and I was mostly drugged out. I mean, I couldn't just tell them I was kidnapped by a freaking vampire was in a world filled with vampire.", I told her as I saw her face turned into confusion.
"True.", she said.
"So I told your parents I didn't see you while I was there. They didn't believe me though.",
I grabbed the shoes she gave me. Luckily, her shoes size was the same and I put them on.
"So," I said, changing the subject. I got up from the bed and twirled around, "How do I look?", I asked.
She smiled and got up too, "Good, just one thing," she reached behind my head and undid the ponytail I had made. She scrunched my hair with her hands and spoke, "Perfect.",
"Thanks.",
"We better get going. The King and Queen will send someone to come for us soon if we don't leave now.", she said.
Five minute laters...
The place was still the same as when I left. Only difference was--there we're more pixies here. I didn't see Jasmine, Romy, Isabelle, Edric, Mitchel, Luna, and more important, Liam.
I leaned up to Kayla ear, "Who are these pixies.", I asked.
"New comers. Lucas hired them cause Len-", she cut her self off before she could finish. "Lucas hired them.", she said.
I didn't say anything else as we walked into what I remember, the ballroom. Why are we going in there? Kayla opened both doors and I walked in behind her. More than I could count pixies were everywhere cleaning up and sitting down tables. I couldn't see them at first, but than a few seconds later, I found King Luka and Queen Arabella at the other side of the ballroom from where Kayla and I was.
They didn't notice Kayla and me in till we were at least seven feet away from them. Queen Arabella put on a the best fake small smile she could and King Luka, he didn't do nothing but scowl at me. I looked around to find Lucas, but he wasn't here.
Kayla bowed her head when we were a good feet away, "King Luka, Queen Arabella.",
Queen Arabella spoke, "Kayla, thank you for finding her.",
"Now you may go.", King Luka said.
Kayla looked at him, than me, and back at King Luka. "Okay.", she said. She turned around to leave, but she whispered in my ear before leaving, "Just stay calm.". She left then.
I looked nervously at the King and Queen. "Hello.", I said, raising my hand in hello.
"It's nice to see you again, Dorinda.", Queen Arabella said. Her voice said something else though, like she was a little annoyed.
"Nice to see you too, Queen Arabella.", I said.
"Darling," King Luka said to his wife, "May you go somewhere. I like to speak to Dorinda alone.",
Queen Arabella mouth opened in surprised, "But, honey-" she started to protest.
"Now.", he said.
She hesitated for a few second, but took in her husband orderly look then left.
"Dorinda, we must talk in private.", he said, turning around and walk over to a door. I followed and we ended up in a private looking room I never seen before. It was the size of normal office size office, but it was filled with bookshelves, a desk and chair, and a fire place(?). Why does this palace have fire places if they don't use them?
He walked over to the desk and sat on top of it.
"Now, Dorinda, I called you here because my son told about someone stalking you?", he asked.
"Yes," I said, "I mean, I'm pretty sure someone is.". His chin and his right eyebrow raised. "When I'm on my way to work or even home, I can feel someone behind me, but when I turn around, no one there. The last time it happen was two days ago.",
"And you think it's a vampire?", he asked, crossing his arms over his chest.
"I don't know. Lucas thinks it's a vampire sinc-",
"Ah, my son.", he said, getting off the desk and walking over to me. "I wouldn't take anything my son say seriously."
"Why?", I asked.
"Cause he can act like a child sometime. He probably can't smell any kind of vampire cause you do smell of--coffee?", he said, wrinkling his nose. "Anyways, I will check up on Emma family in a few days since he mention it could be a family member of hers. Okay?",
I nodded my head once, "Yes.". I can't believe that was solved so quickly.
"Great.", he said, clapping his hands. He walked behind the desk and reached under it, pulling out a bottle with a dark gold liquid stuff in it with a glass small bar cup. Is he drinking whiskey? "Yes, I am.", he said, purling his glass half way. He brought it to his mouth and took a sip. "Vampire can have little alcohol since it's made different than normal drinks. It's also good for vampire blood."
That's. . . different? I have never seen vampire drink alcohol when I was here before.
He drank the rest with a big gulp and made an 'ah' sound after he swallowed. "There another thing we have to talk about.", he said, sitting down in the dark brown leather chair. "My son, he's getting married. I'm sure you already know since some of his pixies left without telling him they were going to Earth.",
I felt my cheeks burn a little as I looked to the ground, "Yes.",
"And I'm not wrong when I say you--how should I say it--have deep feelings for my son, Lucas?", he asked.
Oh god, am I really going to talk about this with him? "No, your not.", I said.
"Look at me, girl.", he said coldly. My head snapped up--only cause his voice change to quickly. "Good.", his voice change to a soft. "So, how do you feel about the marriage?",
How do I feel about it?
Sad and jealous.
"Uh,", I said, pulling my hair behind my ear, "I think, if Lucas is happy, I'm happy.", I lied. I almost slapped myself for it.
King Luka nodded his head, but than stop, "Your lying. And I don't need to read your mind to know you are. I can feel a mixture of feeling going around in you now. Main one is jeslousy.",
I bit down on my left cheek and looked back down at the ground.
"I'm going to ask you again, how do you feel about the marriage?", he asked again like he said he would. "And this time, be honest. I don't care what you have to say as long as you be honest.",
I hesitated for a few moment before speaking, "I feel--like I been lied to a little. I thought Lucas and me would some how be together. I know there a rule that vampires can't be with human, but I don't know. Anyways, I felt anger, sadness, jealous, betrayed--I felt like hitting something. So to answer you question, I don't like the idea.", I admitted, breathing a little hard since I said it all at once.
King Luka didn't speak. He just sat there, looking at me. I can feel myself sweat for him to say something. I waited and waited, but he just looked at me.
Finally, he spoke, "You know something," he got up from his chair and spoke as he walked over to me, "Lucas told me you can't be glamour," my body stood still as he walked behind me and took my hair and put it over my right shoulder. I shudder when his icy cold hands went on my shoulders and I could feel his breathing a little close to the back of my neck, "He doesn't know what that mean. But I do," his breath was closer to my neck as he spoke.
I gasped and eye bulge open when two of his fingernails pinch threw my skin, "Ow.", I cried out.
King Luka now standing in front of me now. He was licking his finger nails. "And it makes you better with you being a virgin.",
"What are you saying?", I asked, "I'm not human?",
"You are human.", he reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a handkerchief and held it out to me. I took it and pressed it against the two little cut marks, "You blood is O positive.",
"I know that.", I said, shrugging my shoulder. What is he trying to say?
"Well, some human like yourself blood a little different. It's hotter. Humans can't tell and vampires can't tell either. But me.", he smirk at me.
So the only reason vampires can't glamour me is because my blood a little hotter? Weird.
"How is that suppose to stop vampires from glamouring me?", I asked. I moved the handkerchief from my chest, seeing that it stop bleeding.
"It just does.", he answered me, but not giving a answer I wanted. He was about to speak again but the door open. I turned around and saw Lucas.
He looked shocked to see me. Didn't he know I was coming? "Father?", he questioned, but looking at me.
"Son," King Luka said, smiling at his son. He looked at me than at his son, "Surprise, huh? I can tell. She got prettier," he said. he took some of my hair and twirl my hair in his left index finger.
I felt my cheeks blush a little.
Lucas looked at his father now, "What is she doing here?", he sneered.
His smiled faded, "I wanted to talk to her. Seriously, Lucas, don't be such a pain.",
"Is this why you sent me out?", he asked, getting mad, "So you could bring her?", he didn't even wait for his father to say something back. He walked up to me and put my hand in his and turned around, "I'm taking you back.", he said.
I let go of his hand as he said that. It hurt to do it, it really did. But the truth is, I don't want to go. Even though I was here before as a slave, I missed it here a little. Also I wanted to speak to Jasmine, Luna, and Romy anyways. "Wait, I have to find Jasmin-",
"Dorinda, please-"
"Lucas, relax," he father said, cutting him off. "Why in such a rush? Huh?",
And right before Lucas could answer, the girl the came into Starbuck yesterday that was really mean to me walked in and wrapped her arm around Lucas left arm.
I felt like I just got slapped in the face.
"Oh," she said as she noticed me.
"Ah," King Luka said as he grin, "You want Dorinda to leave cause Lena was back with you.", he said, pausing for a few second. "Awkward.", he mutter as he slipped out of the room.
And he was right, this was awkward but also shocking. I mean, I know this girl was strange yesterday, but I never guess she was a vampire. I mean, she tan.
Unless...
Ugh, I wanted to slapped my self so hard. A spray tan!
Lucas looked down at the ground, ashamed. The girl, Lena, looked at me like she wanted to kill me, but her glare was already enough.
More moments passed.
I want to leave. I can't take it anymore. I wish I could just see Jasmine, or Luna, or so I could say sorry to some to tell them and I can leave.
Water filled in my eyes. It was so hard to see her with him. So much harder than imaging it. They were going to be a couple.
A married couple.
He wont be a free man anymore.
A tear slipped out of my right eyes, "I have to go.", I said, running out of the room and didn't pay attention to the pixies staying at me as I was running. I heard Lucas shout my name behind.
As I was almost out of the ballroom, something purple caught my eye. I stopped and looked to my left, I gasped to myself. It was Zoey.
She looked confused to see me at first, but her face dropped cold then.
She wasn't here when I came in. Why is she here anyways? I thought she got fired.
"Dorinda!", I heard my name being yelled. It was Lucas. I turned to look at him, he was walking out of the room, but Lena grabbed his arm and pulled him back in the room, closing the door behind him.
More tears slipped out my eyes and I ran out of the ballroom.
I ran down the hall, turned left. I ran down the hallways and down a pair of steps. I remember where I was, kind of. I was coming towards the door of entrance of building. I remember cause I remember leaving the building with Romy, Queen Arabella, and King Luka when the Queen wanted to go shopping.
I'm pretty sure this was a way to Kayla bedroom, but it was a little hard to remember since when I was here before, I never went up to where her room was.
I turned left down a hall, but I ended up slamming right into someone chest--a guy chest--a muscural chest.
My cheek was slammed down on the guy chest and I felt to embarrassed to looked up to see who I ran into.
"Dorinda?", I heard a familiar voice.
I slowly looked up to see if I was right and I was, "Liam.",
