Chapter eight

(Adrian’s point of view)

I watched her as she slept peacefully in my arms. By the time it was dusk I slowly untangled myself and tiptoed out of the room and in search for Josh.

Josh was sat in his study looking for ancient books when he saw me he stood and bowed his head. I walked over to him and patted him on the shoulder.

“Any updates?” I asked.

“They are searching for her. I’m afraid they will find her” he stated looking guilty.

I growled in frustration.

“What must I do?” I whispered.

Josh gazed at me from under his fringe and held his hands behind in back.

“You know what you must do Master” Josh simply stated.

(Melanie’s point of view)

Me and Jess waited around the bed chamber. She was sat there biting her nails nervously. We were informed a new maid would be joining us. I was nervous to see who she was and Jess appeared to be too. Eventually Adrian walked into the room with our expected partner.

The girl was little over 5ft. She had strawberry blonde hair and cute features, her body was slim and she had curves in the right places. She kept her eyes firmly on the floor. Adrian introduced her as Zoe. I watched him study her from head to toe. Instantly I felt a pang of jealousy. Zoe quietly glanced up at Adrian and smiled at him seductively. Jess was oblivious to the way Zoe hung on Adrian’s arm. He ushered her further into the room and pointed out her bed.

Adrian turned and walked out the room without so much of an acknowledgement to me or Jess. I glanced at Zoe, she was sat on her bed platting her hair, she smiled sweetly at Jess.

Jess walked over to her smiling she started to introduce herself. She told Zoe that she was in charge of feeding  and dealing with Adrian’s schedule. Jess then introduced me. I sat on the chair just watching Zoe; she studied me hard and eventually smiled a sly smile.

“So you entertain Adrian?” she asked excitement evident in her eyes. I nodded quickly glaring at her. Her smile widened.

Jess continued explaining to Zoe the rules of being Adrian’s maids. She kept questioning Jess and me about Adrian. Jess explained extensively while I tried to tell her as little as possible. Eventually after an hour of her questions I excused myself to go in search of Adrian.

Since the night he held me in my bed chamber my anger for him started to fade. I was still disgusted by the vampires and what they did to Danny but I had eventually realised that Adrian was innocent. I stood outside his door and knocked slightly.

A sleepy looking Adrian answered the door; he looked shocked to see me standing there. I smiled entering his room. Adrian stood by the door warily before relaxing and smiling back at me. I rolled on the balls of my feet trying to gather my thoughts together. He waited patiently his eyes growing lighter by the minute. His blue eyes were almost silver by the time I had picked up the courage to speak to him.

“I was wondering” I began…Understanding crossed Adrian’s face; he began walking to the bed and pulled the duvet aside. Smiling he gestured to it. I felt relieved that I didn’t have to say it out loud. Quickly slipping off my shoes I crawled into bed and into his arms. He nuzzled my hair before falling peacefully asleep. I didn’t dream that night.

Waking up I tried to roll to my side. I was trapped by Adrian’s arm he was breathing steadily next to me. Slowly I turned my body to face him. He looked so calm sleeping. He had a slight smile on his face. I watched his chest move up and down wondering why he felt the need to do that. He was dead. He didn’t need to breath. I snuggled closer and inhaled deeply. He smelt of honey and aftershave. I felt his quick kiss on my head before he pulled away from me. He smiled a glorious smile, it reached his eyes. I stared at his beauty for longer than I should. A chunk of his hair had fallen over his left eye, without thinking I gently tucked it behind his ear. Adrian grabbed hold of my wrist and inhaled, his eyes turned darker as he planted little kisses on the vein. Eventually releasing my wrist he sat up. “I need to go” He said quickly walking out the room. I was left there feeling confused and lost.
