Chapter 29 - Vince

Lysine groaned in pain, the concrete wall cracked from the impact, as everyone looking shockly at the scene.

"Still want to warn me?" Xavier said, tilting his head slightly.

"Stop this, Xavier." he said in a strange voice as his eyes flashed red. But Xavier just snickered, his eyes, there's amusement dancing in his eyes.

"You know I can't be compelled, 'uncle'." he said mockly before he snickered again, clearly having fun regardless the situation.

There's a look of hesitation in the Lord Josiah eyes. "You can't do whatever you want. I won't allow it." there's a wave of bravery came into him from nowhere, and he said this loud and clear as confidence and firmness booming in his voice.

Xavier snickered again, the sounds so evil, makes the Lord Josiah and the High Council became uneasy. "You shouldn't say that."

With that, the smoke came to Lord's neck, circling it and squishing it like a boy squish his toy, makes Lord Josiah gasping for air. The hand bring him dangling in the air, as Josiah tries to claw the 'hand' away from his neck.

It happens so fast, and the next moment, Lord Josiah's face already blue, and his struggles is weaker. He is already a step in the door of Death. Yet, nobody could help him, the High Council just stared wide eyed and trembling in their spot, blankly just watch their mighty Lord to die.

"Enough, Xavier." a small hand grasped his, "We don't want your room to be dirty, right? " she said softly.

Xavier turned his head towards her, all the sinister and crazy glints in his eyes gone, leaving only innocent and puzzled look.

He tilted his head, his habit she started to love, looking at her questionably."Love?"he called.

She hummed, before said to him softly," Let them go, Xavier. They makes my eyes hurt. "she squinted her eyes and pouted.

Urgh, she never did this kind of cute thing before. Thus, she feels cringed with herself.

But, anyway, she had to do this.

Not that she hates it.

Xavier turned his head to the vampires in front of them who rooted to their places,and let go of Lord neck. When he saw they did not move yet, he growled," Dont you heard what she just say?Out." his tone sounds normal, but no one could ignore the venom lacing with his every words.

The men scurried out of the room, dragging the weak Lord and Lysine hurriedly , and closed the door softly, as if fear if the sounds too loud, Xavier would change his mind letting them go.

It's only the two of them in the room, include the still unconscious Daniel on the bed, but Xavier shamelessly buried his face into her hair, inhaling her sweet jasmine scent to calm himself down.

Daniella patted his shoulder. "My good Xavier." she praised him.

He likes it, he likes it when she praise him as she could feels his smile against her hair. She automatically smiles too, patting and rubbing him softly in the back.

She then pulled away.

But Xavier isn't satisfied. He looks at her wide eyed, feeling dejected. Daniella chuckled, couldn't believe this ridiculously cute and spoiled side of Xavier.

She tiptoed, giving him a kiss on the cheek, "Better?" she asked, smiled.

Xavier grinned widely, before it turned mischievous, and before she could figure out what was happening, he dive in, and give her a long and passionate kiss.

When she couldn't breath anymore, she pushed his chest, breathing heavily.

If she don't do anything, he wouldn't let go!

Where did this clingy Xavier come from?

He's quite a handful to handle!

She just smile helplessly at him, before she turned to Daniel and made her way to the bed, with Xavier tagging along.

Xavier took the chairs of his work table and at the small table quickly for him and her to seat.

Daniella smiled thankfully, before she took a seat and stares at Daniel sadly.She caress his head gently before she put her hands crossed on the bed, and she used them as pillow as she put her chin down on them.

She breathe shakily as her eyes brimming with tears, "I'm sorry, Xandro. I should have come sooner." her lower lip trembling, "that way, you wouldn't have to experience this."

"I'm sorry." a voice beside her suddenly said.

She was startled, as she straighten herself and turned her head to look at Xavier.

"Why are you sorry? It's not your fault."

Xavier shakes his head, smiling sadly. He then pulled her head to rest on his chest.

"I'm just sorry." he said again, his voice is a whisper, barely heard. He patted her head gently, as if he scared if he uses just a little more strength, she might break and shatter,like a glass.He held her with definite care, as his close his eyes, savouring the moment.

"So, your middle name is Vicenzo?"

"How did you know?" he asked softly, no hint of surprise in his voice.

She took one of his hand, tracing the black veins on his hand. Instead of scary or terrifying, she founds them to be manly and beautiful.

"I saw it in your book."

"Really?"

She hummed. She then put her hand flat against his, comparing them. As she touched him, sparks ignited, as she leaned in closer.

His hand is a lot bigger than hers, but yet too perfect against hers. As if they were made just for the purpose of holding each other.

"Can I call you Vince, then?" she lifts her head, looks up at him with her big silver eyes.The black veins on his forehead from earlier has gone, but he's still here. His black doe eyes still staring back at her.

He chuckled, the sound makes her vibrated, making her giggle herself. "Whatever you say, love." he said,smiling and looking at her like she was a treasure.

He looked at her the way all women want to be looked at by a man.

He looked at her, the way she needed to be looked at, like the whole world could crumble and he wouldn't blink.

She smiled, as much as she loves Vince, Xavier need to wake up.

She brings her hand to rest on his cheek, as she caress his skin with her fingers. Trailing his sharp jaw up and down, her hand finally rest back on his cheek. He leaned to her touch, making her more reluctant to let him go.

"Bye, Vince. We'll meet again, I promise." she smiled.

Vicenzo looks confused, "Love?"

"Where's my Xavier?" she said softly, gently.

His deep black eyes started to change, and after a moment, they are gold again.

She already pulled her hand back to herself, as she smiles.

"Xavia?" Xavier asked, confused.

Daniella just smiles at him.

He then realised what happened. He must have been 'unconscious' again.

"What happened?"

Daniella then started to fill him up with what happened earlier, exclude her moments with Vince. She scared that he will be angry if he knows she took her sweet time in bringing him back.

After a while—

"Is that it?"

She nodded,smiling at him. He averted his eyes, clenched his jaw. "Hmm." he simply hummed and immediately stood up and walked out of the room. The door closed with a bang.

Is he angry?

She sighed before climb the bed to lay beside Daniel. "I'll bring you out of here, I promise." she said before she kissed his forehead, and proceed to lay, hugging him sideways on the four poster sized bed.

I promise.
