Théodora
When we returned home, I went straight to bed. I've been feeling tired after the meeting with Gaya.
I slept through the whole car ride home, but now I'm only tossing and turning in my bed. Not able to unsee the images Gaya caused me to see when she touched my hand.
I roll out of bed and head downstairs to make myself some tea. But I stop in my tracks on the stairs when I hear noises coming from Azrael's home office.
"Do you think she was telling the truth?" I hear Samuel ask. "Well, you should probably know best since you used to fuck her." Azrael replies. What?
"Dude, that was ages ago. Maybe we should visit her again and let Diablo use his gift on her." Samuel says again but quickly got irrupted by Ash.
"We need to discuss this with Théodora first. It's her life, maybe she's okay with the information we have now and don't want us to find out any more." He says.
"What do you think?" I jump out of surprise and turn around to see Diablo standing behind me. "You can't sneak up on me like that!" I whisper yell as I punch him in the arm.
"Well, isn't that what you're doing? Sneaking around." He says with a smirk when I sit down on the stairs.
I sigh and he sits down next to me. "How are you feeling about this?" He asks me.
"Well, we already knew I wasn't fully human, but to hear it from Gaya, another vampire, it does kind of freak me out." I say and Diablo nods.
"It's a lot to take in." He replies. I play with the string of my comfy shorts, which I changed into before I went to bed.
"She made me see something." I say cautiously. Diablo grabs my hands and I force myself to look up to him.
"You can tell us anything, Théodora." He says with a curious yet comforting look on his face.
I nod and take a deep breath before I open my mouth to speak. "When she touched my hand... I saw myself lying in a basket in front of the foster home. That's how I was dropped off."
He looks at me with a hint of surprise before he gives me a small nod. "Did you see anything else?" He asks but I shake my head.
"No, I don't really have a good memory of me as a child, let alone as a baby. It did kind of freaked me out though." I say as Diablo puts an arm around me.
"You're a lot more capable than you think you are Théodora. You just have to open yourself up to it. If you want to give Gaya another visit, we can." He says and I lean more into his embrace.
Is it true? Am I capable of much more than fast healing and great hearing? Does Diablo know something more?
I could ask him to use his gift on me, so we can figure that out. But it scares me though, what if I do unconsciously know more about my past? Do I want to know what happened to me?
I feel myself getting tired again and that I'm not ready to find out the truth yet.
"Thank you, Diablo." I say and I give him a kiss on his cheek before I stand up and make the cup of tea I came down for in the first place.

On the next day I walk into the office and head for Caitlyn's desk.
I feel much more rested after my good night of sleep. I force myself not to think about the other day too much and just live my life.
"Good morning." I say with a smile on my face when I reached Caitlyn. "Hey, you look happy." She returns my smile.
I shrug. "I'm just living my life the best I can." She laughs and shakes her head. "Okay?" She asks questionably.
"Do you want to go out tonight? Normally Ivy and I do so on Friday nights, but she's pregnant and won't be partying for a while." I say and give her the sweetest smile I've got, hoping it will convince her.
"Oh, I'm your second pick?" She fake scoffs offendedly. I roll my eyes at her. "I would've asked you to go with us anyway." I say and she gives me a smile.
"I'd love to accompany you to the club later this evening." She says with a fake posh accent.
"Fuck you." I say with a smile of my face and shake my head before I head for the elevators.
The day went well. Another guy on my team catches my eye, Jonas. He came up with some bright ideas and I suggested he'd work together with Evelynn so they could work out his plan together. Jonas seemed to be thrilled about that, he might have a little crush on her. Evelynn on the other hand didn't seem that excited to be working with him. I don't care though, I'm the boss and she needs to follow my orders.
On my way out of the building, Caitlyn and I discussed our plans for later tonight and now I'm standing in front of my closet, debating which outfit I should wear.
I've put on three different dresses already but I think I'd be going for some tight leather pants and a lacy soft pink bustier.
I put on the clothes and look at myself in the mirror. The bustier isn't designed for underneath your clothes, it is a bit daring I must admit but it does finish my outfit.
I straighten my hair, line my eyes and put on mascara. I finish my make up with some nude lipstick and decided that I want to wear accessories today. I put on a gold necklace I got from Ivy a few years ago. It's a beautiful necklace which probably costs her a lot, I'm normally too scared to wear it and I don't want to break or lose it. But it does go well with my outfit so I'll be taking the chance that it won't.
There's a small gold heart hanging from the necklace with Ivy's and my initials. It's cheesy as hell, but she gave to me so I love it.
I also put in some huge gold hoop earrings and a few thin chain bracelets.
"And where do you think you're going, looking like that?" Azrael says from behind me. I spin around and give him a sexy smile. "I'm going out with Caitlyn."
"You better be going to one of our clubs, or I won't let you leave the house." He says with a hungry look in his eyes.
I turn around to look at myself again in the mirror and let out a groan. "Yes, daddy." I say to tease him, but he's at my side in a second, plastering his body against mine.
"What did you just say?" He says in my ear with a low voice. His sound cause goosebumps all over my body.
I don't answer him, but do stare at him in the mirror. "If you call me that again, you won't be able to walk out of this house. Because I will fuck you with no remorse."
I clench my legs together, afraid that my wetness will escape down my legs. He looks at me in the mirror and an evil smirk covers his beautiful face.
"That's what I thought." He says when I still haven't spoken up and a gush of wind causes my hair to fly up a bit. I glance over my shoulder, but he's not standing in the room with me anymore.

Caitlyn and I are sipping on our fourth Pornstar Martini. I'm already feeling tipsy as I enjoy the sweet, slightly bitter cocktail. This is definitely my favorite.
"I think I'm addicted." Caitlyn slurs her words as she gives a disgusted look to a guy who's been trying to get her attention all night. "Same." I giggle.
