Bitten by Love CH 2.1

 

I awoke with a massive headache. I rubbed my head in pain while walking over to my mirror in the bathroom. I looked over at my spare bed and noticed my sister was gone. There was a note posted on the mirror.

“Thanks for taking care of me sis! Went home, tried to wake you but you were totally drained. Which let me know, inviting you to that party was worth it. See you in class!” I read. I rolled my eyes and turned on the faucet. I splashed my face with water and sighed. I looked at my neck and saw the royal markings were on it. A diamond with three dash marks on its right side. Reminding me of last night events.

After Will had sucked my blood. I felt a whole new powerful aura consume him. He retracted his fangs and turned his attention back to the hunters. I could see the look of horror in their eyes. “Retreat!” a male screamed. But after he made that command, it was like no one could move. When I observed them closely I could see a red luminosity on all of them. Which let me know Will was using his telekinesis, but that wasn’t the shocking part. The shocking part was that he didn’t lift a single limb to do it. It was like his raging eyes were doing the work for him. He took off at a high speed and with his claws, he slit everyone’s neck. They all fell to the ground. And before I could ask Will if he was okay. He swooped me in his arms and sprouted wings. They were a bright red and glimmered in the night sky.

He soared through the sky and I must admit the view was amazing. I was worried about him though because he was so quiet and focus. We landed on top of the dorms roof and before I could thank him, he flew away at high speed.

I changed into some khaki shorts with a silver tank top and white converse shoes. My style was always simple and never out there like my sisters. I put my hair in a bun and slipped on my sunglasses. I paused before I left the bathroom and remembered my mark. I observed it closely and remembered something Will told me long ago. That this mark was not a royal blood mark but a curse. Van Hall was cursed as a child for messing with witchcraft, that he shouldn’t have been touching. But ever since he took over Romania and became king. They have seen his markings as a blessing than a curse and they turned it into the royal markings. Will never told me in detail what the curse has done to his family, but he did tell me it wasn’t deadly though. But if it was I bet those guards are happy theirs are tattoos and not real.

I place some concealer on my neck to hide the markings and left out the door. I knocked on Will door but there was no answer. I shrugged and went on my way to class. Today I had my World Studies 101 class, but as the lecture went on, all I could think about was Will. It turns out he had this class too and was a no show. His guards told the professor he was sick. Which I know wasn’t true. I felt something hit my head and when I looked on the floor, it was a piece of balled up paper. My eyes went to my sister who pointed at her phone and then me. I gave her a nod and secretly took out my phone.

“So, what happened last night? I know I must have had too much to drink because I can’t remember anything.” she texted.

“Yeah you were the life of the party like always. Trust me just check social media.” I responded.

“What!?! Please tell me you are joking?!” she stated. I could tell from her text she is highly upset. “Please tell me Will didn’t see me act a fool?”

“No, luckily he was busy dealing with something important.” I replied.

“Good that’s a relief. Now tell me even though I was half way drunk. I did see you talking to a hot guy by the stairs. I want details!”

“Oh, he was just someone I met…turns out not all jocks are party heads like you.” I teased. I turned my head and stuck out my tongue. She returned my action and we both giggled.

“Always the jokester Cassy! But it’s good you found someone who is as emo as you when it comes to parties…I know I may not show it, but I do want you to be happy. I care for you big sis.” she expressed. I smiled at her text.

“Thanks Ari…and I know I may not show it either, but I care for you just the same and will always have your back.” I send. “Oh, and the professor is glaring at you.” I warned, pointing at the teacher. I watched as the teacher took her phone and as she pouted all I could do was laugh.

We ended class with the professor stating we would have a class debate on the history and future of advance technology. I hated public speaking, but it was for a grade after all. The next class I had was Math 102 which I hated. So, I couldn’t wait for that to end and I could go to my part-time job at the café.

I arrived at Mc’Love Café and went into the back to change. This café was very popular with the males and kids. And that was because the theme was maid outfits. I would have hated this but because we get to wear black eye masks, no one could tell it was me. I slipped on my wavy maid outfit and knee-high heels. I put on my black mask and floral headband. I walked into the kitchen and greeted the manager.

“Good afternoon, Misty. How are the kids?” I said. She was a tall woman with a thick figure, but that just made the males even crazier. She had ruby red hair, always in a bun with pale skin and yellow eyes. Since she was the manager she wore a long black slick dress with a split down the side and black pumps. She was basically the face of the café.

“A pain. That I want to rip my ears off…makes me wish they were human.” she answered, sighing. I patted her back as a show of support.

“Don’t worry. It will get better soon. Just be happy their immortality doesn’t kick in at this age.”

“Oh no I think I would literally die if it did.” she laughed. After talking with her, I decided to clock in and start serving my guest. Our job was to not only serve but entertain as well. So, some days we would act like actual maids and drop things on purpose or call them sir/madam.

“Good day sir. How may I be of service to you today?” I greeted. He gave me a nice, warm smile. I looked at his baby girl in the high chair and gave her a wave. She giggled at me. I waited there patiently for the guy to answer and while looking to my right, I saw a bunch of guys messing with this poor human girl. They must have been vampires. “Excuse me sir, but I need to handle a problem outside.”
