Chapter 22
“Princess? Are you awake?” Damien whispered in my ear, his hands were around my waist and he started to kiss me. “Yes. I think so, I hope so” His lips were warm and I craved them. “Good” I smiled and he grabbed my hand. “What time is it?” I asked. “Nearly 6:30” Seriously? “We slept nearly the whole day” “Wow” “Yeah… What do you want to do for the rest of the evening?” Anything. “I don’t know. Doing anything with you would make me happy” He smiled and I hugged him. “You just want to lie here?” He asked “That sounds great” I replied. “Come here then” I cuddled up to Damien and he put his arms around me. “You’re warm” I was glad that I was close to him because he was warming me up. “You’re cold” I giggled as he slipped his hand up my shirt and rubbed my sides to keep my warm. “Do you want something to eat?” “Nope” I gigged and he pulled me even closer. “Is there anything I can do to make you eat?” He asked. “I feel a little sick so eating is out of the question really” “Princess, are you alright?” Damien said in a slightly worried voice. It was strange that he was always worried about me. He was a little over protective, but I didn’t mind, it meant he was closer to me. “Yeah. I’m fine” “Do I need to take you home?” “Yeah, but please stay with me tonight” I said. “Of course I will. Come on then” We got up. “Should I carry you?” I giggled “It’s the closest I can get to you at the moment so yes” He picked me up and I put my head on his chest. He smelt minty and fresh. “Cute” I put my hands up his shirt and felt his abs “Cuter” I kissed his lips gently “Even cuter. Close your eyes” I did “Now that’s cute” “How?” I asked, opening my eyes. “I don’t know, you look sweet. Easy to protect and it assures me that your mine to protect” I giggled. “Can I still keep my hands here?” I placed my hands back on his abs “Yes” Damien carried me to the car and put me in the front seat. We drove to my summer house and I started to worry. Was Sam there? Maybe, maybe not. “Don’t worry. He can’t hurt you” “Is he in there?” He sighed “Yes. Should we go in?” “Wait… Can I ask something?” I asked. Did I just ask to ask a question? “Go for it” He replied “Why did you say Sam will look after me, in that note?” He looked confused. Seriously? He wrote it. “What note?” “Before you left, you put a note on the kitchen side” Damien nodded slowly, but was still confused. “Yeah…. I did but it didn’t say Sam will look after you” “It did” “No… It said I’ll be back tomorrow. STAY AWAY FROM SAM” Huh? “I didn’t get that note” “I left it on the side” But I didn’t… What happened to the… Sam. Somehow I’m not regretting hitting him. “Ughh Sam must have swapped the notes” “I’m sorry baby. He is so annoying” He said “It’s alright. We should go in” I replied. “Yeah” We got out of the car and walked into the house. Jessica sat with Sam on one of the couches, watching TV. Sam stared at me, but I looked away “Let’s sit down” I nodded and Damien pulled me down nice to him. My head lay on his shoulder and he stroked my hair. I looked over at Sam and Jessica. She was shuffling up closer to him but he was completely ignoring her. Jessica sighed quietly. We all sat in silence watching fake Britain; I occasionally glanced over at her. Sam looked down at Jessica and realised he needed to do something before she kicked him out. “Come here baby” Sam whispered. Her eyes lit up and she shuffled closer. “Awwww I love you so much” At the end the sentence he would look up at me. I held onto Damien’s hand and buried my face in his neck, it stopped him from punching Sam. “Do you want to sleep?” Damien said in a quiet voice. I looked up at Sam, he was still staring at me. What had I done? Oh yeah… Kissed him and left him the next morning. But he tricked me, I had no choice. I need to get out of here. “Not really, but I think I need to get out of here” Sam looked down at Jessica and pulled his arm off her. Ughhh why can’t he just love her? Damien noticed my distress and hugged me tightly. “Let’s go out then” He suggested, still whispering. YES! Thank you! “Where?” I asked. “The lake?” Oh yes! “Sounds good” Damien and I got up out of our seats. “I’ll see you later Jessica” See how I didn’t say bye to Sam? I hate him. “Bye Christine. Oh Christine actually can I talk to you for a second?” I nodded “Outside?” “Oh yes” Jessica and I walked outside. I hoped Damien would be ok. “What’s up?” “It’s Sam” Here it comes. Just as long as he hasn’t asked to marry her, I think I’ll get through this. “He isn’t who I thought he was. He’s my boyfriend but he doesn’t really love me” Good, no marriage. “Why don’t you tell him that?” I asked “You think I should? I mean he’s a werewolf and I’m… well I’m just a weak little human” Jessica said. Awww Sam you’re going to regret leading Jessica on. “Yeah. Tell him how you feel while I’m out. It will give you two a little privacy. If he really loves you then he won’t care that you’re human” She smiled. I’m such a bad person, he’s going to keep leading her on. And I’m suppost to be part angel? “Thanks Christine” She hugged me and started to walk inside, I followed. Damien was stood in the doorway of the living room. He looked… not quite right. “Come here baby” He grabbed me in for a hug and held me tight. “Do you want to go?” he whispered. “Yes please” I could tell there was something wrong, Damien looked sad? Slightly confused? Angry maybe? Whatever was wrong, I was determined to find out. One we were inside, I asked as many questions as I could… “What happened?” “What do you mean?” There is something wrong Damien! “You look… Scared” Yep. That’s the word, scared. “I do?” I can act dumb but he can’t. “Yes. What happened?” He sighed “Sam. He said one day, he’ll take you and he won’t bring you back. He said he’d make you do whatever he wanted you too and that it wouldn’t make you happy” “I won’t go” “You might have no choice” “Please don’t say that” “I would die one million times for you” Tears were starting to leak from my eyes, but I tried to be strong and held them back. “I would do the same for you” He kissed me softly. “Let’s go” Damien started the car and drove off…
Chapter 23 The car felt cold as we made our way up to the lake. My teeth chattered and I rubbed my shoulders. Brrrr. Damien looked at me and frowned. “You’re cold. Grab my jacket from the back seat and wrap that around you” I did, but I was still cold. “When we get out of the car, I’ll make sure you warm up” He said. “How?” I asked. “I’m a very warm person” Cute. “Ooo” He smiled in a confused sort of way. “What?” I giggled at him “What?” “Nothing, just you” He smiled and then opened his mouth in shock. “I’m nothing?” He asked, sounding offended. Oh no. he took that completely the wrong way! “Oh my gosh. No! No! You’re everything. I love you so much, you’re way more than nothing” I exclaimed. “I’m joking princess. Just wanted to see what I meant to you” I hit it playfully and he laughed. “So what do I mean to you?” “You’re my world” He replied “And you mean everything to me. Everything” “Thank you” I said sweetly. “You’re welcome baby princess” The car stopped in a small car park. “Coming baby?” A nice big smile spread across my face and he kissed me. “Yep” We walked in slowly and sat on a small bench then I pushed Damien down and lay on his chest. He was really warm and comfortable. “You do know we are lay on a bench, near a lake. Don’t you?” “Yeah, I do” He laughed and kissed me. “Awww” He said softly. Huh? What’s so awww? “What?” He smiled and a small strand of hair blew into my eyes, he moved it out of my way. “You” I giggled “Thanks” I suddenly felt arms around me and I was lifted up. “What the hell?” I shouted. Damien’s eyes widened and he got up. I couldn’t see who had hold of me, but I started to kick around so I could get away. It didn’t work. “Let go of her. Please just let go of her” Damien said calmly. Who the hell was it? Sam? No. I saw a flash of silver. Oh god, he has a knife. I squeaked out a cry. Maybe it was nobody he knew, somehow I doubt it. “She’s coming with me” Said the man who was holding me. It was an old-ish voice, not the voice of someone Damien’s age. “Please. I’ll do whatever you want just let go of me” I begged. Damien I need you! “No” I’m dead. That’s it. Life over, it was nice while it lasted. “She’s coming with me. Dead angel” He laughed out the last part. I don’t want to hurt anyone, I just want to live with Damien and be with him forever. “Please let her go” Damien was reduced to begging like me. “Damien, you’ve got to learn that angels and vampires don’t mix” He said “Dad! Let her go!” Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. HES HIS DAD! Oh god! This isn’t the meeting Damien’s parents thing I would have hoped for. I mean I knew they were vampires, but geez what happened to nice vampires? “What the hell?” I looked up and saw the man. Damien’s dad. You could see the resemblance; he was like an older version of him. “He’s your dad?!” “Yeah. Get off her” I was pushed forcefully into Damien’s arms. He hugged me tightly. “Are you alright?” “I’m fine” “I’ll have to take both of you then” He groaned. “No, you won’t. Me and Christine will be going home” We turned around to walk away, but found a lady stood in our way. We turned left and right, but two others were stood in our way. “Coming? Or are we going to have to take you by force” The lady asked, his mother right? “I guess we have no choice” Damien sighed. “No choice whatsoever. Unless you want to dump her and walk off. We won’t ever have to bother you again Damien” “Get lost” Damien held me even tighter. “Damien darling we don’t want to hurt you, we just want to kill the stupid little angel” Said his mother. “You can’t touch her” “We can” How the hell are we going to get out of this one? One of the guys from the side punched Damien in the face and I screamed. His brother? What must have been his other brother dragged me back “Get off me” He held me tight and I couldn’t move. I kicked and screamed as much
