"Your majesty" he smirked
"I still don't approve of that name, address me like you've always did"
"I shall take my leave" Christina excused quickly exiting
Cassuis also dressed smartly as usual, in a getup always black all the way to his soul "I'm here to fetch you, if I may?" he proceeded forward with a hand in his neat black suit pants
"What's the party for this time?" I asked before he stretched his hand out for me to take
"You will have to see for yourself" like a gentle man he took my hand walking side by side out of the room into the hallway and down the stairs one step after the other. We took the other hall opposing to the one I came from the other night to a magnificent heavy double door.
As soon as we approached you could hear chatter of a gathering. I was suddenly feeling fretful that as soon as I enter and whatever unfolds in there would reflect on Jake's survival and lately I have had limited patience "Feeling anxious?" Cassuis asked not really trying to mask out the excitement in his tone. I looked towards him still with his form still and not bothering to look my way
"Your tie is crooked" The party was nothing like I expected especially I haven't thought Lenora was going to be there and my biggest shock was Damien. This time they weren't just standing around, there were tables at different sections of the room in clusters and to the middle most of the room was made a clearing
"I will take it from here" lord Orpheus said as we approach the gathering of murmuring. Cassuis without a word handed we over with a bow
"You look grand," he commented. I simply smiled because apart from being worried I have been extremely confused. Lord Orpheus gave Cassuis the first order to bring me here for execution but after I escaped he changed his mind. They began seeking for me differently Cassuis got to me with a weapon and promised that he didn't want to hand me over and that he needed me in overthrowing the vampire royal ruler and in turn he would leave the werewolf community alone, he called truce but then here I am standing all alone worried to my stomach in the midst of his like waiting on the reason of me still being alive.
All this was wrapped around getting my blood soaked into the dirt but now that I was in arm's reach no one was ready to strike instead I was being treated like a treasure to show for. So he walked me into the gathering gasps melting into the air as I pass by stopping at the middle he called the attention of everyone although already concentrated on me by striking the edge of his glass with a spoon.
"Here to the magnificent chance to show you the surviving daughter of our Lord, Luther" he introduced like I was some daughter of a hero. Instead of applause the room filled with gasps, hisses and snarls; so expected. I wasn't really intimated even if this turns out to be a burial gathering for me I could easily escape in those black strap heels.
"Now, now we should all control our impulse to surprise her to possibilities of worthless death. You will all be informed of our reason for gathering soon. For now enjoy please"
"So this must be her lordship" a man in a mid-night blue suit approach with a cold expression of a thousand years of heartless activities although he seemed to be actually smiling
"I guess I am. To whom may I owe the honor?" I asked also with the bit of attitude he had of fake admiration although I was pretty much irritated by lord Orpheus's hand on my bare back, I tried not to show it and suppress the urge of ripping his arm out of its socket
"Master Marcos of the London coterie" now I understood the accent I heard. His dark eyes were so concentrated and hard that I felt my skin was turning the shade of my dress
"Hmm, not like the father's," he said in an astonished tone
"Excuse me?"
"You see, beings of your kind are of the purest blood and yours is tainted by your mother's dirty blood"
Mentioning my mother like that surprisingly got me enraged, for the woman I have never known left me in this world to pay for her affair to an already mated man but somehow from somewhere deep it broke out almost out of my control not only me lord Orpheus that was still in an arm's lock with me felt it, not just him the chandelier hanging above our heads shook slightly
"Oh would you see that! The golden ring around your iris I recognize. You got his temper, I wonder what more," before he could finish layering off his words I was beyond enraged and I almost charged before lord Orpheus interrupted
"Master Marcos please go ahead and enjoy the party I will take care of her lordship Gia here" with a smile on his face but still lay and daring he said
"I hope you enjoy the party too" before he walks off to a group of people
"I want to know what this is for. You want to end me because I was a threat to your existence but why am I here?" my patience has officially worn out
"If only you can be a little more patient my lordship" he said simply walking farther from me. Lenora decided to come over; we have locked eyes several times. She wore a dark dress and a casual touch up
"Not bad for a jeans and shirt person" she mentioned amazed
"You know when you are used to something it doesn't seem special anymore" I smiled back
"I still want to cause you a lot of pain" she said with grated teeth
"Then I think it's mutual but only I will try to make it impartial" owing to our last encounter she had me on the down side now it's different. I was significantly stronger than everyone else in the room; it would be extremely hard to control my abilities while dealing with her. She smiled demonically before turning on her heels
"Nice to see you too" I added
Everyone else have been keeping their distance except for Lord Orpheus still persistent on letting his hand on my bare back led me to a fairly long table with chairs across each other. So he helped me into my chair that was across his and the rest on either side of us. Whom were the individuals he introduced as master Drusilla, Marcos, Silas, Ethan, Lazarus and Katherine, three influential vampires around the globe and then the other four I had already met; Cassuis, Damien, Lenora and Lucinda. She also made it shortly after I had joined the party she came in, although I hadn't get a chance to talk to her but I was happy to see her but I couldn't let on the idea that she helped me escape. So it was an international gathering, different sort of foods were kept on the table length wise to both ends mostly for my entertainment. I also learnt that they can actually eat but their digestive systems are poor in their assigned work but it was an open bouquet and everyone can have what they want except for their fangs in my neckLenora being a person of flare for the dramatic joined the table last with her come a man in his mid-twenties and he definitely was human. I remembered last time I met up with one of her victims, I had his heart in my fist.
"It's only proper for our semi deity to have the first cup of tonight, fresh. You must regain all your energy if I will say"
