Erica's POV

I laid on the ground outside his closed room, to catch my breath. I vowed I won't go unconscious. My neck was sipping out little blood from my neck.

Shit his bites were hard.
I'm glad I survived, I'll survive all this.

I held my neck and walked outside to see Rosa and Linda with a saddened expression. Seeing my condition they both rushed over to me.

"Oh my God, Sire bit you!" Rosa exclaimed closing her mouth as tears fell from her eyes.

What's up with her? I'm the one in pain, not her.

{Amelia-law: Erica stop being rude, she's emotional}

"We are so so so sorry, Erica." Linda pleaded as she rushed into the kitchen.

"I apologies for being so emotional. I hate the fact you're suffering all this. I can feel your pain," Rosa said holding my both hands as she stared at me with teary eyes.

"I'm fine. Don't worry, you worry too much." I told her with a smile.

I smiled to hide the pain I was feeling.

Linda rushed inside and came out of the kitchen with a first aid box.

"Erica please sit, let me cure it," Linda said as she urged me to do so and I did.

Linda brought out a cotton and a methylated spirit. She damped the tissue in the spirit and robbed it on my bitten neck as I hissed in pain.

"I don't like the way you're suffering Erica, why can't they see you're good, please turn into our kind." Rosa pleaded with soft eyes.

At the mention of "Turn into our kind." I got instantly mad.

My face became rigid as I stared at Rosa in disgust.

"What did you say?" I asked with a discontent voice.

"Please be one of us, we can't watch you live like this." Linda added in a pleaded voice .

"You're asking me to turn into blood sucking leashes, like you. You want me to live as a demon?" I asked angrily.

"Please don't take it like that. A lot of your kind turned into vampires to survive, please consider this." Linda told me searching my eyes for approval.

"There's nothing to consider. I prefer to die as a human than to live as a forbidden species like you two." I told them as they stared at me with a hurt expression.

"Erica don't get annoyed, it was only a suggestion," Rosa said to calm me down but I refused.

Instead I got up from the grass and stared at them sternly.

"Keep your suggestion to yourself. I don't need it. I will never be your kind. It's all your kind that's p making me suffer all this and I'll proudly die a human."
"You know what? You two should stay away from me. I don't want to be around any of you." I told them as I turned to leave.

"Erica we're sorry." They pleaded but I kept deaf ears.

There's nothing to plead about.

I should be one of them? How unspeakable.

Their kind are my enemies and will forever be.
Being their kinds will render my revenge worthless.

Instead I'll be an enemy to my own family.
My family, my people will be disappointed.

As much as I hate their kind, why do they have to persuade me to be one of them.
It will never happen. Never will it happen.

🌼🌼🌼🌼

For 3 days, I saw no sign of Rosa and Linda.
I guess they did stay away from me.

Before what can I say, I'm a slave. A slave to everyone here.

King Steven doesn't want me to mingle with any of them.

A little of me felt bad for talking to them that way.
I'm such a sucked up.

Everything happening to me is making me react over nothing.
I did miss their presence.

Rosa was the type who loves singing and talking about her home town.
Linda was also the type who loves telling you how much she likes eating and cooking.

They were lively and have good vibes.
They both have same characteristics with my sister's.
I could have just said No to their suggestion and none of us will keep this distance.

Why am I even complaining?
I sent them away with my mouth.
How shameful?

Even Steven became scarce. But lady Nika has decided to frustrate me.

"Stupid human carry two buckets of water all at once." She yelled making me stumble a little holding two full buckets of water in both hands.

My hands were getting jelly because of the load I was lifting.
I carried the last 2 buckets as my hand slipped off the handle because I couldn't carry any more load.

She kicked me on the face. "How weak can you be? Just to fetch water has resulted to it slipping off your hands and breaking the buckets." She screamed as I fell to the floor.

Heavens help me, my ear drums.

"Get the hell out of my sight and go join the men to carry building blocks." She told me as I did.

Some men were building a small shelter in the middle of the garden.

"When you're done, go fetch fire woods. Just look at you always dressing as a man. Shameless being." She told me and walked away.

I carried the blocks one by one helping the bricklayers when I mistakenly bumped into one of them.

"Watch it slave. Are you blind or something?" One of them questioned with an irritating tone.

"No you're the one who is blind." I told him sternly.

Out of anger he raised his hands in the air and landed a harsh slap across my face.

I was too tired to act back as I fell to the floor.
What's happening to me? I'm getting weak.

The man intended to hit me more but he stopped when a voice shouted at him.

"You stupid old man, what did you just do."

I could hear Emma's voice.
Where went she all this time?

"Your highness why are you insulting me over a stupid slave." The man defended as she helped me off the floor.

"Shut up, you all should stop calling her that. Her name is Erica." Emma ordered.

"Emma I appreciate that you stood up for me but please go." I told her.

If her brother gets her here, around me, I'm done for.
I'm not ready for any further pain today.

"This is unacceptable. Your highness are you defending a slave our enemy." The man kept saying.

"You old hag. If you call her a slave again, I'll kill you." Emma screamed in anger as I eyes turned red.

"Emma please go, please." I begged.

"Are you chasing me away?" She asked me with calm eyes.

"No no no, I'm not But your brother won't like it if you're here." I told her hastily.

She just have to go.

"Erica no. My brother is busy with meeting so he'll not step out, I'm staying with you here," she said with puppy eyes holding my legs.

I'm going to be in big trouble.

"Princess Emma, stop involving yourself with this human," the man said in an irritating voice.

"And this human here is my friend." She shouted at them holding me tightly.

And just as I was about to turn and leave.

"What's going on here?" I could hear his voice coming towards our direction.

I turned to face him as I tried removing Emma's grip on my leg.
I'm in trouble. In a big trouble but she kept holding me tight.

"Don't make me ask again." Steven requested in an arrogant tone as his subject followed him from bind.

"I was just leaving." I told him trying to hide the fear, I suddenly started to feel around him.

But Emma, will not just let me go.

"Sire this unspeakable human called me a blind man." The man reported.

Just wow!
Just wow!

"Shut up, she will never unless you did first." Emma defended.

No Emma, please keep quite.

"Sire why is your sister glued to the human slave?" One of his subject asked.

Emma please let go. I begged within.

"Hey you, stop calling her that she's my friend." Emma blurted out.

Oh heavens I'm dead. I'm a dead meat.

I looked at Steven to see a blood shot eyes.
He was angry.
He warned me and I'm very sure this is a big crime around his subjects.

This was what he was preventing.

But please try to understand it isn't my fault.

"Unacceptable," his subject said.

"This is unspeakable, your majesty."

"If this gets out your reputation is ruined." One of his subject reminded.

As Emma and I stared in confusion, I couldn't utter a word.
I was truly scared to death. What will be of me now?

"But Sire this human have to die." Another of his subject added as my eyes widened.

"No. What are you saying?" Emma objected.
"Brother please don't... "

"GUARDS... GUARDS...." Steven called out as 5 guards came running.

"Take my naive sister to her room." He ordered.

"No brother, noo please... Don't hurt Erica, she did nothing." Emma kept screaming as she was taken away by a guard.

"The rest of you kill this bricklayers.  No word of what happened today is getting out of here." He spoke rigidly.

He's just taking their lives a way over this, over nothing.

"Sire please, have mercy. Have mercy upon us. We won't say a word." The bricklayers begged but it went deaf ears as they were also taken away.

Steven immediately grabbed my arm forcefully as his nails grew piecing into my skin.

"The rest of you farewell." He told his subjects as he fast ran with me and I saw myself in his room.

No, I was thrown against the wall in his room as I dropped to the floor.

"Why are you always disgracing me?" He asked in an angry tone.

"Wait I can explain." I started to plead.

"There's nothing for you to explain." He yelled at me arrogantly.
"What part of stay clear away from my royal family you don't get," he said raising me up with my shirt as he stared at me dead in the eye.

"I did but... "

"Shut up. You need to be dead human, you'll just have to die today." He told me with bloody eyes as his fang grew longer than it was 3 days a ago.

Vampires fang can grow this long. I stared in horror.
He was angry, definitely very angry.

I tried pushing him away, but it was in vain. He deep his fang into my neck and that's when I could find my inner voice.

In voice of pain.

I screamed in fear of dying. His bites was more than painful, too painful. The more I struggle to break free the more his bites gets more painful.

He drank my blood with no pity. Sipping the little life I had in me. This time I was definitely going to die.

What did I do, to deserve all this pain and arrogance from him? Tears fell from my eyes, I was in so much pain. Just as I was about to close my eyes and welcome death he quickly removed his fangs and held his head in pain as I dropped to the floor feeling lifeless.

"Fuck it. Fuck it." He kept shouting as I held my neck breathing all the air I could get in the room.

"Fuck it." He yelled angrily as he raised me up with my shirt once again hitting me on the wall.

"What the hell did you drink?" He questioned with red eyes.

I could see pain in them. He was hurting badly.

Why was he in pain? I'm the hurt person here not him.

"Answer my fucking question, what did you drink?" He asked shaking my jelly body.

I was too weak already.

"Nothing," I said with a faint voice. I was finding it hard to breath.

Once a vampire bites you, he isn't only drinking your blood. He's also sucking the air in you.

"What the hell did you drink." He yelled at my face as his face became more pale.

"I said nothing." I managed to scream out as tears kept falling from my eyes.

Yes, Steven have succeeded in making me cry in pain. He should just kill me already.

He let me go as I dropped to the floor having no stamina.

He kept holding his head in pain.

"You can't tell me you drank nothing. This pain in my head happened to me the last time I drank from you." He told me.
"So what the hell did you drink?"

"I drank nothing." I kept telling him as blood kept sipping out from my neck.

"Fuck it. Your blood taste so fucking good, your blood taste so fucking delicious. Just get out." He yelled at me as I tried to get up.

"I said get the hell out of my room." He yelled at me arrogantly as I quickly crawled out of his room alive.

Once I was out he shut the door and I could hear him scattering things in his room.

Out of weakness I laid down close to his door. My body felt too heavy at this moment.

I drank nothing. But if my blood is cursing him pain. I want to see him dead.

He deserves to die, I told myself as my eyes went shut.
