I really don't want to study for my test. :-)

The next day was ..... quiet an interesting day. Helping the girls taking a bath who survived yesterday's events  was a very difficult task because they kept jumping at the smallest of movements. Getting small bouts of dizziness was not helping either.

All in all, I was quiet annoyed. Honestly I don't get how i got roped into doing this task. They were Girls for God sake. Sighing I helped another girl to the couch to keep her from falling.

My task done I quickly left the room before someone could call me. I ran to the library, my safe heaven.

After cleaning a small section I selected a large tomb to quench my thirst of knowledge.

Sometime later a commotion could be heard. I looked outside the window to find a man being dragged by the guards to the castle.

Feeling curious I abandoned the book and went to satisfy my curiosity.

Down at the entrance I noticed someone of high standing so immediately I hid behind the pillar so that I could hear their conversation.

"Lord Drake, this man was trying to get inside the castle ." informed one of the guards.

"Jaden will deal with him later. For now put him in the dungeons." As soon as he went past the pillars his eyes caught mine.

Blonde hair, piercing blue eyes and high cheek bones. 'So this is Lord Drake' I silently mused.

"You'll take care of his needs." He ordered me and left not waiting my response.

I blinked and then cursed as this new situation hit me. If I escaped now everyone will notice my absence which really won't be a good thing for me.

Sighing I followed the guards to the dungeons. Locked with the prisoner in the cell to treat his injuries I was told to shout out if anything went wrong.

Taking a clean cloth drenched in alcohol I looked at it stupidly as I came to a realization.

Aside from treating my own wounds, which consisted a lot of abnormal tricks, I didn't have a clue of how to treat another life.

Blinking out of my stupor, I stepped close to him.

"Look , I don't know how this shit is done." I started in a no nonsense voice "so either we get along and I treat you gently or ..... I don't think there's a need to explain."

I took another step towards him to which he growled. Looks like we've to do it the hard way.

"Calm down boy." I said like one would say to a dog, knowing it will piss him off but it was fault anyway. If not for him I wouldn't be in this situation.

He growled once again and lunged at me.

Not having the time to side step I grabbed his neck and slammed him down on the floor.

Feeling his pain and confusion I explained "An advise. Don't judge someone by their looks. Now why don't you calm down and let me treat your wounds." My voice softened at the end.

Making sure that he wouldn't attack me I retrieved my hand and got up. Grabbing the cloth from before I bought it near his face. He grimaced in pain but otherwise not even a sound left him as I disinfected his wounds.

I absently thought that what sort of person had his prisoner first beaten and then taken care of.

Replacing the dirty cloth with a clean one I continued about cleaning him.

Feeling him getting tensed I frowned and looked at him. But he was not looking at me but rather behind me. Now feeling the heat of the gaze at my person, I didn't dare look back and cursed at my carelessness.

One would think that after living with these Vampires my senses may have sharpened but no mine have decided to take a vacation every time I need them.

When nothing was said, I silently finished my work being careful not to go below waist line.

Getting on my feet, I stepped away from the prisoner with the things in my hand and gave him a last look.

I was baffled when all of a sudden I was pulled and my back met a strong chest. Another arm circled around my waist and tightened so that there was no space between us.

Mind blank and eyes wide with horror my eyes met the prisoners. He was ji better. Jaw wide open and surprise written all over his face he looked at me, behind me and then back at me.

"You'll not spend a moment more than necessary in this cell." Said a cold voice in my ear "Step outside and wait for me." I hesitated but at the tightening of his arm around me I nodded.

As soon as he let go I stepped outside, not even daring to look at him, knowing very well that my every move was being followed by his eyes.

Stepping well away from that cell I thought of what I could've done now to catch his interest.

I winced as a scream tore through the silence followed by a crack. I scowled knowing perfectly well that my hard work was ruined and more work was added to my bucket.

After that other than small whimpers no other screams were heard, for which I was great full.

Feeling 'his' gaze on me I raised my head to be captured by his steely grey ice. He was looking at me like a predator which caused my my breath to hitch.

For every predator needed a prey and looks like he has chosen me as one.
