CINDERELLA AND THE VAMPIRE CEO

CHAPTER 4: WHAT THE TIDE BROUGHT IN
It was a clear morning as the gloomy and dark clouds were swept away by the sun, announcing the arrival of a new day, Kyrie was the first to wake up. He blinked repeatedly as the sun rays were shining directly on his face. He tried to move but felt his big brother's hand around him.
Pushing his hand off his body slowly, he raced to the window to see if his dad's car was back but it wasn't. then as he wanted to pull away from the window, his eyes caught something not that far, on the beach as his eyes widened in shock, that he lost grip of his where he was standing and fell on the rug, muffled the fall but he was too shocked to cry or feel the pain.
He couldn't believe his eyes, racing out of the house, none of the maids or the butler were up yet, with his socks which soon got soggy and wet. As he reached the beach, he saw something that intrigued him. he walked closer and soon reached it, his eyes widening fully in shock, as he walked around it slowly looking intently at it, a bit scared to touch it.
He looked up and glanced left or right, there was no one there. This was a private property, so people didn't walk around anyhow, but he had just made the biggest discovery of his life.
Bending down slowly, he touched it and quickly recoiled his hands, as if he had been stung by a bee. The next thing that erupted from his mouth while he ran back to the mansion was the name of his big brother.
Dj!!!!! Kyrie screamed running as he entered the house, climbing the stairs heading back to his brother's room.
Dj, Dj, Dj… Kyrie said hurriedly as he entered his room and jumped on the bed, as Dj groaned and muffled his head under the pillow.
Go away Kyrie! He said trying to push his annoying brother away. This was one of the reason he hated his brother spending the night with him. in the morning, he was as loud as a church bell.
Dj! Wake up now, or I am going to tell daddy about your secret naked ladies magazines, when he gets back. Kyrie said, blackmailing him for the first time as Dj suddenly shot up from bed, glaring at him.
Are you blackmailing me? That is real low you know. Dj said pissed off, that his brother knew about the magazine, and the fact he had been woken up from his beautiful sleep.
You do that, all the time Dj, to the maids and the butler, why can't I do the same. Kyrie said innocently batting his eyelids as Dj rolled his eyes.
I am up, what the hell do you want now? And why is your socks, so dirty and wet. Dude, you were jumping on my bed with that. He said getting angrier as he got up from bed pulling Kyrie down from it a little bit roughly.
Ouch, Dj I was at the beach that is why. Kyrie said holding the arm, which was aching badly.
I don't care if you went to the moon…why did you…. what the hell do you want now? It is morning, dad will be here any moment, just go back to your room and wait for him. Dj said groaning as he tried to lead his little brother out.
But wait, I have to show you something first… it is at the beach, just come with me. Kyrie said pulling Dj hand, as he shook his head.
I am not interested, in seeing anything. Now leave. Dj said pushing him out as he shut the door.
Kyrie was a bit hurt at this, because he felt the rejection. Pounding on his door, he yelled,
You know what, stay there for all I care, I will find the maids or the butler to come and see it. They will be real glad and happy unlike you. Kyrie finished saying as he turned to walk away when the door opened again.
Fine, show me. And be quick about it. Dj said grumbling as Kyrie smiled and sped out of the mansion leaving Dj to catch up to him.
When they got at the beach, Kyrie led him to the same spot, he was before and said,
Look brother. Look over there. He said pointing at the wreckage in front of him.
What the hell. Dj said cutting his sentence as he was seeing what his brother saw.
Kyrie stay at my back. He said as they walked closer to the wreckage. Thy could see the broken parts of what seemed to be a canoe, but what held their interest in the middle was the pale white petite woman, in transparent bloody gown, her eyes shut as she had a deep gash on her forehead.
Do you think she is alive? Kyrie said as Dj used a stick to poke at her, but there was no movement.
I don't think so, anymore. What do you think we should do? Dad, is not here and I don't think we need to touch her. just then they heard a groan erupt from the woman lips as they looked back down at her and saw that she was groaning and wincing.
Dj and Kyrie stepped back slowly simultaneously before taking off running back to the mansion, yelling the name of their most trustworthy and reliable butler.
Peter!!!!! They yelled leaving the woman back on the beach as they raced to the boy's quarter and they barge into the room, the butler was already dressed. Just putting on his shoes before standing up erect to look at the two brothers.
Whatever can I help you with this fine morning? He said as he walked to them as they were pointing at the beach.
Woman…alive…wreckage… blood… Kyrie could barely pause to regain his breath.
