Chapter 9 - Cute

GARBERVILLE ~~ RINA'S MANSION 

Rina sat down on the couch and handed the guy a glass of blood.

He looked at her and then at the glass before hitting it away.

She frowned deeply.

"Be warned, else I will kill you!" She said.

"I told you to end me before but instead you turned me into a vampire and you made me drink the blood of an innocent human!" Jason said angrily.

"I would have given you animal blood but when you are transformed into a vampire, the first blood to taste is human and that's why I gave you!" She said and he rolled his eyes.

"I'm going to find a job in the human world so I'll buy a house and finally leave this your house!" He said and stood up before speeding into his room upstairs.

She frowned then exhaled.

"He doesn't even know how to fight, he'll get himself killed at the end of the day!" She muttered before groaning.

She sped to her own room as well.

ETERNAL SHADOWS ~~ CASTLE

She ran into the house and saw Lucian sitting at the dining and she went to sit as well.

Gorya served the food and she smiled at her.

"Thanks!" Ava said to Gorya and Gorya nodded before leaving.

"Don't worry hubby, next time I'll cook food for us!" She said with a smile and he scoffed.

"I don't eat meat, also I told you not to call me hubby!"

"So you live on blood alone?" She asked and he rolled his eyes gulping a glass of human blood.

She ate the meat before gulping down the glass of animal blood.

She stood up and took the cup and plates before going to the kitchen.

"I'll do the dishes today!" She said and Gorya smiled.

"What a good wife!" Gorya said and Ava laughed.

"Thanks!" Ava said and started doing the dishes.

"You wanna start work tomorrow right?" She asked and Ava stopped what she was doing and gave her a confused look.

"How did you know?"

"It doesn't matter! Tomorrow is not going to be that good, your fighting skills will be needed there and I trust you'd do well!" Gorya said and Ava blinked.

"Umm okay!" She said and faced the dishes.

'She's not ordinary Ava! She knows a lot of things you didn't even know!' Her subconscious mind said and Gorya smiled before leaving.

Ava looked at her retreating figure.

2 HOURS LATER ~~

Ava and Lucian could be seen sitting on top of the castle staring at the sky.

"Hubby!"

"Call me that one more time and I'll leave!" He said and she looked at him before hugging her knees to her chest sadly.

He rolled his eyes and spoke.

"What is it?"

"I want to visit my clan soon, I need to know why they harmed your clan!" She muttered.

"When exactly do you want to go?" He asked.

"I'll tell you the day before I want to go!" She said and he looked at her.

"I promise I won't betray you. I just want to know why they attacked your clan. If I don't know why they did that how can I help you rule the vampire clan?" She said and asked.

"I don't need your help in ruling the vampire clan!" He said and she bit her lips.

"I'm their queen now so at least I need them to love me! Else they'll all want to have me dead" She said.

"They don't have to love you, just don't do anything that will put the clan in trouble!" He said and she looked at him.

"You're being so annoying this night, if you don't want me to at least help you in the clan, you shouldn't have made me queen by marrying me!" She said and stood up before walking away.

She jumped into the window and carried a pillow and a blanket before going downstairs.

Lucian exhaled.

He left the rooftop heading to the window and he also went in before laying on the bed.

He stared at the ceiling before glancing at the other side of the bed. The pillow and blanket wasn't there and he rolled his eyes before looking back at the ceiling.

He stood and sped out of the room heading downstairs. He saw her sitting on the couch hugging her knees to her chest.

He heard little sobs and he frowned deeply.

"Are you crying because of me?" He asked and she ignored.

He walked to her and rose her head. His eyes widened when he saw tears in her eyes.

"Leave me!" She said pushing his hand away.

She laid on the couch using the duvet to cover her whole body.

He blinked.

"I'm sorry!" He said and her eyes widened.

He sped back into the room and she sat up wiping her tears.

It's not even because of him she was crying, she had the same nightmares she kept having and surprisingly, when she woke up, she started crying.

She stood up and carried the pillow and blanket before running upstairs. She met him laying on the bed staring at the ceiling.

"You apologized?" She asked walking to him. He didn't even look at her, he was just staring at the ceiling.

She dropped the pillow and blanket before jumping on him startling him a bit.

"You apologized hubby!!! You did!!" She said swinging her head happily.

He stared at her face and smiled.

Her eyes widened.

"You smiled!!!" She said and he frowned making her laugh.

"Get off me!" He said and she leaned closer to him.

"No!"

"Why were you crying?" He asked and she rested her head on his chest.

"It's the dream I had, it made me cry surprisingly!" She said and he looked at her with an unreadable look.

He looked at the ceiling and sighed.

"Get off me!" He said but got no reply.

He glanced over at her and heard her little snores.

He tried taking her off him but she didn't let him. He rolled his eyes and stopped trying since it was futile. He wrapped his hands around her before closing his eyes.

When Ava felt his hands on her, she couldn't help but smile.

THE NEXT MORNING ~~ ETERNAL SHADOWS ~~ CASTLE

The door to Lucian's bedroom opened slowly and Gorya stared at them.

She smiled at how they looked. They were looking so peaceful as they slept.

She closed the door before speeding downstairs to prepare the breakfast.

The sun light penetrated into the room and Lucian opened his eyes. Ava opened her eyes as well before raising her head up slowly.

"Good morning hubby!" She said with a smile and he rolled his eyes.

"I told you to stop calling me that!" He said and she smiled resting her chin on the back of her palms.

"Do I ever listen to you when you tell me not to do something?" She asked.

"Aside the betraying part, no!"

"So that has answered your question hubby!" She said and he groaned.

She then remembered something and she sat up immediately.

"I'm going to get a job today in the human world!"

"Why do you need a job there?"

"Cos I wanna be busy and also get money to get myself some things over there!" She said and he stared at her with an unreadable expression.

"I know you will miss me but I have to go!" She said and smiled. He scoffed and she laughed before getting off him.

"You'll take me to my workplace!" She said and went to shower.

After some minutes, she came out with a towel tied around her chest and hair. She went to the closet and began searching for a cloth.

"What should I wear?" She muttered and he sat up. His gaze landed on her backside before looking away.

She brought out a short black floral dress and smiled. She took it into the bathroom and put it on before coming out. She dried her hair and brushed it before letting it fall on her back.

She wore a black boot and put on a bracelet before twirling.

"How do I look?" She asked and he ignored her before going to shower.

"Hurry up hubby, I don't want to be late!" She said and left the room going to the dining.

"Good morning Gorya!!" She said happily sitting down.

"Morning how was your night?" 

"It was great thank you!" She said and Gorya served the food.

She started eating immediately and then Lucian sped to the dining. He drank the glass of blood before speeding out of the house.

"Wait for me!!!" She said and carried the chicken in one hand before stuffing her into her mouth. She carried the glass of blood and ran out of the house as well.

She met him waiting and she chewed on the chicken before gulping it down. She drank the blood before walking to him.

"See how you made me rush!" She said.

"You were the one who said I should hurry!" He said and she smiled before walking to him.

"You look handsome!" She said and held his hand.

He looked at her then at the guards who opened the gate. He sped out of the castle with her and out of Garberville. He sped to the entrance of the city and stopped there.

"You can go on from here!" He said and she shook her head.

"Let's go together so you can see my workplace!" She said and he sighed before walking with her.

She looked at their hands and smiled before facing front.

They walked through the city and she went to different places who had job vacancy but none took her in.

"This is annoying!" He said and she smiled.

"We'll find a job for me just wait!" She said and he scoffed.

The stopped at a restaurant and they walked in.

She saw a guy standing there already and she inhaled before exhaling.

"You are hired!" The woman said to the guy and he smiled.

"Thanks ma'am!"

She looked over at Ava and she smiled.

"Are you here for a job too?" She asked and Ava nodded.

"Yes ma'am!"

"Well I need two helpers in the restaurant and you can be the second person. You're hired!" She said and Ava smiled widely.

"Thank you ma'am!" Ava said and the guy turned to her.

"I'm Jason!" He said stretching his hand for handshake.

"I'm Ava! Nice to meet you!" She said shaking his hand.

She let go of his hand and he gave her a small smile which she reciprocated.

Lucian stared at the guy with an unreadable look.

"You both can start now!" She said and Ava faced Lucian.

"Thanks for coming with me, you can go now!" She said and he scoffed.

"You smiled at the guy you just met!" He said and her eyes widened.

"You're jealous?!!" She whispered and he scoffed.

"I am her husband, don't think of falling for her!" He said and the guy just smiled at him.

Ava's eyes widened and he looked at her.

"Good luck on your new job dear!" He said and smiled at her before leaving the restaurant.

She smiled widely.

"He is jealous!" She said and squealed happily.

The guy looked at her and smiled again.

'Cute!' He thought.
