Chapter 4
Ashley's POV
I was done eating, so I headed back to the room. I found the door locked. I was tongue-tied figuring Caden left me outside the room with the door locked.
I gathered lots of courage to go to the Vampires' dining table to check if he was still eating. I went there but I didn't see him so I turned back.
"Ashley!" I heard a voice calling from the dining table but that didn't sound like Caden's voice to me,so I went back to see who was calling me. It was his immediate brother, Leo .
"Y-yy-yy-yes" I muttered.
"Caden has gone out for work so he asked me to take you to the room since I can open it with my face," he said.
I was very scared because I was never comfortable with Leo, his face had always been straight, I had never noticed him smile for a second, so he seemed evil, but at that point I had no choice. I took a deep breath as I tried to muster courage.
We got to the room,he opened it with his face and I entered and tried to shut the door but I realized the door wasn't closing. I wondered what the problem was, so I had to look down and then I saw one of Leo's legs preventing the door from shutting.
My heart raced ,I was very scared. I didn't know what to say.
"Please yo-yo-your leg" I stuttered, with fear all over my face.
"Don't worry, I'm not hurting you, I just need a little FAVOR from you" he said ,with an evil smile on his face.
That was the first time I had seen him smile and I can say that it didn't suit him so well, and for the first time he smiled, he did it for an evil reason.
"Wha-wha-wha-what do you ne-need sir?" I asked with my heart almost out of my chest.
He pushed the door wide open, causing me to fall on the floor and started coming closer.
"Sir? What favor do you need" I asked fearfully
"Get up!" He commanded.
I did it at once, trying to pull myself together.
"What I am about to do you, Caden should not find out, less you want me to suck you dry" he said, smiling and licking his upper fangs
"Please don't do this to me. I have never in my life been bitten. My master hasn't even bitten me. He hasn't told me the reason yet" I said as I burst into tears.
"Look ,I don't care about all you have just said, it's not bad If I'm the very first to bite you, he's my brother and I can share part of his responsibility" he said, as he pinned my two hands to the bed and used his other hand to grab my neck.
I don't know how it happened. I heard a voice close by. Indeed, I was happy that I could shout for help.
" where did I keep those documents". I turned to the door and it was Caden.
"You came at the perfect moment, thank you so much Caden"I thought.
Caden's movement ceased , Leo had already got up as he heard his voice coming towards the room, but the picture was very clear. He saw the mark of his grip on my hands.I was sweating profusely and breathing heavily, so he didn't have to think twice before knowing what was going on.
"What the heck are you doing in my room, Leo?! Answer me right now before I kill you with my bare hands" he yelled, his eyeballs had already turned red. I never knew he could be that furious. He was very sweet to me. I had never imagined this other side of him.
Leo, on the other hand, didn't know what to do, he looked like he didn't care about Caden's anger, but at the same time his face was giving a freaked out one.
Caden couldn't bear the silence Leo had given. He walked towards him, "for the last time, what are you doing here in my room with my slave!"
Leo was still silent, Caden got more angry and threw a very heavy punch at Leo's lower jaw .
I was very scared because if two vampires fought the humans, they might die too. I didn't know what to do. I went to the back of the couch and I was shivering because I was very scared.
" Now will you answer me now, huh?,or do you want me to force those words out of your mouth", he said, with more rage and anger.
"Why did you touch my slave?!" He asked, like he was going to end Leo if he didn't provide him with an answer.
Leo saw that if he didn't say something, Caden would most likely kill him, so he decided to speak.
"I-I-I-I am sorry, Caden, I didn't mean to disrespect you but I asked Ashley to do something for me and she refused to do it", he lied.
"I want the TRUTH!" He yelled, "else I'll end you right here".
"I wanted to drink from Ashley!, so what? She's just a slave"
It was like Caden got to his boiling point, he'd already gone mad. He gripped Leo's shirt and tore it.
Leo got furious then pushed Caden hard into the wall, which caused him to hit his head on the wall.
That was it , they had already taken the fight physically, no more questions and answers, it's now fists for fists.
The world turned red for Leo as Caden hit his left eye. He couldn't really fight back again, he was in very severe pain. I was really hoping Caden would leave him alone after that but he kept hitting him hard on his chest and his chest kept getting on getting more red.
I had started gasping for breath , my heart couldn't take what I was seeing.
Leo managed to give Caden a scratch on his right arm with his long claws, which made Caden start bleeding.
I was feeble, the world was tilting sideways, everything became fuzzy. I shouted Caden's name out loud, I was really weak, so my voice was faint and all of a sudden it was a blackout for me.
