DEVONNE
I fluttered my eyes open and sat up straight, darting my eyes around the room trying to recollect everything that happened last night.
"That's right, I was chosen." I murmured to myself. After washing my face and taking a quick shower, I headed up to the wardrobe, opening it and picking out a casual white and pink summer dress. As soon as I wore them, someone knocked on the door and before I could give them permission to come in, the door flew open and in came the girls, each one of them wearing a stunning outfit with matching heels. "Come downstairs to eat" Ferra ordered, and I slowly nodded before grabbing the black slippers, quickly slipping them on.
"Julie, go tell them we'd be down there soon." Ferra instructed and one of the girls nodded obediently before rushing out of the room. I'm guessing that Ferra's the boss now and we're all supposed to kiss her ass? Normally, I would have at least said something back but I figured that although they can't see it yet, we're all in this together and at the end of the day, we needed each other to survive here.. "You missed the event last night." Ferra sneered as I tied my hair into a ponytail and I looked at her in confusion."Did something happen later? Because-" I paused when I noticed the peach patches of bandage on the girl's neck as they rolled their eyes. My eyes widened and I stared at each and every one of them in disbelief."You let them... ?" I trailed away when Irene walked up to me, flipping her hair to a side as she cleared her throat.
"You're not even ashamed. They were all expecting us last night. We were supposed to welcome them." I heard her say but her words seemed unclear to me as I reached to touch her neck. She scowled, making a face in disgust as she took a step back and I couldn't help but feel sorry for this poor soul.
"Does it hurt? It must have hurt" I stated softly, and I heard the three of them scoff before Adriana walked up to me.b"Not everyone is a cry baby like you. Stop pitying us and worry about yourself!" she started, raising her voice and I stared at her in surprise. "I don't know why Michael even bothered to give you a chance." she finished, giving my shoulders a hard push as I stumbled backwards. "Is there something wrong?" a voice interrupted us and we all turned to look at a vampire, whose name I didn't know of."Vincent!" three girls said together and I looked up to meet his gaze as he smiled at me and then at the girls."We were just inviting her for breakfast." Ferra lied and I didn't bother to fight back. I don't want to cause any trouble. I watched Vincent nod before averting my gaze back on the floor, hoping he would leave us alone now. "Am I the only one who didn't let them drink my blood yet? What if I'm next?" my thoughts started to bubble up and I was about to turn around when Irene grabbed my hand. "Let's go," she said in a sickly sweet voice before giving me her sweetest smile and I faked a smile before shaking my head. "Oh, don't be so difficult, you'll get used to it." she said clutching my wrist to the point where it started to hurt and 1 was about to brush them away when she started dragging me out of the room. "How come you didn't show up last night?" | heard Vincent say before Irene and I came to a halt in the middle of the hallway. We both turned to face him and I hung my head a little before fiddling with my finger nervously."I fell asleep" I stammered a little and he simply nodded with a warm smile, which made me feel a little better.
Maybe this guy wasn't so bad? "Now go eat" he smiled and I was about to say something when Irene started dragging me again. As the girls guided me into another room,I noticed Edward and Raymond sitting on a sofa, next to some other male vampires as they all talked and joked around. "You're here? Eat."I heard Edward say before pointing to a small coffee table full of muffins and pastries. I didn't even bother to smile or utter a word, and instead, I stood still in my position before a hand grabbed my wrist and started dragging me towards the sofa."No, I'm not hungry." I said, jerking my hand away and Vincent turned to look at me before sighing. "I get that you're uncomfortable but at least eat something." he said softly and I shook my head, glancing at the girls and then the quys, who were now staring at me. I noticed that Michael was missing and it relieved me beyond words. God knows how much I feared that monster. "Just have something." he insisted and I gave him a quick look before rushing towards the table and grabbing a chocolate muffin. As soon as I took a bite, I took a few step
DEVONNE
I squirmed uncomfortably on Michael's laps What the hell would this meeting be about whatever it was it should already be over I hung my head low and fiddled with my fingers. "Calm down doll face" Michael whispered in my ears and a shiver ran through my spine. Sitting on his laps was one thing and him whispering in my ears just made it a lot worse. "I'm-l'm sorry" I told him as I tried to stop myself from being paranoid. I didn't listen in on their conversations neither did I care to listen to them, all I noticed were the girls being cozy and sucking up to them despite being fed on the previous night. I nearly threw up in my mouth seeing them all flirty. Like why the hell were they okay with this it was wrong so fucking wrong. In my thousand thoughts I didn't realize the meeting was already over and they were about retiring to their various rooms "doll face" "doll face" Michael called me before realization hit me. shit I zoned out and the entire room kept staring at me the girls with scowls and the guys in amusements. Like heck who wouldn't be amused I've pulled stunts since I showed up and now I stayed on Michael's lap a little longer than expected."yes, I'm sorry I didn't realize" "such" I heard a girl scoff "so much for hating the idea of being chosen, and suddenly you're getting comfy?" I heard Ferra ask I didn't mind any of them I stood up quietly apologizing again.
"Maybe she's no longer shy" Edward smiled "I love that you're loosening up honey maybe next time it'll be with me" he winked and the Scott brothers all laughed except Michael with a stoic expression. "That's over now we can all retire to our rooms" finally, I breathed out in relief. The atmosphere was less tensed unlike the previous day. If I want to escape I'd have to do it now when they'll be no eyes watching or no suspicions. I waited till it was quiet, there was no sign of anyone. I tiptoed down the obnoxiously grand stairs, looking around making sure that Michael's scary blue eyes were no where to be seen God knows how much I dreaded being around him, I walked till I got to the windows close to the garden. I'll stay behind the large statues there and when the gardeners steer clear I'll make the run for it "foolish Devonne" my subconscious mind told me " how far do you think you'll go before you're caught" I didn't give a shit about the possibilities I just wanted to get away. I hid behind the statues and when the gardeners retired, I made my move, Lord I don't even know my way around this gigantic mansion. But I needed to do it now there's no going back. I picked up pace as my legs could carry me and towards the exit I heard noises coming from the mansion fuckkk they've found out I need to hurry on our of here and in a split second Edward and Michael were before me. Oh God I'm definitely screwed right now. I looked at their eyes for any emotion and in Edward's eyes I saw sympathy. We're Vampires capable of showing feelings? Even if they were sympathy? I must be hallucinating. I glanced at Michael and the rage filled in his eyes made me almost pee myself.
"What did I say about testing me doll face?"
