Bitten by Love CH 2.4

 

“You know I’m the best for stealing weapons off the guards without them knowing.” she said. I smiled at her words and took the gun. I haven’t shot a gun since my practice days with dad. I hope I haven’t gotten rusty. I turned off the safety and aim for a random hunter. I shot the gun and it impacted him perfectly and he was literally a mile away. They all looked at each other as the man motioned for them to ‘go’. They all launched at me and I quickly swooped Hannah in my arms and placed her in a tree. I landed back on the ground and kicked a woman in the stomach. A guy tried to stab me, but I dodged it and quickly shot him.

“I swear to Satan himself when I see Will, he is dead!” I mumbled, while shooting another hunter. A dagger flew out of nowhere and knocked my pistol out my hand. The dagger grazed my hand making it burn. Just from that distraction, a hunter grabbed me, and the rest started to punch and kick me. One came walking through the crowd with a huge silver sword. I tried to break free but even if I did, there were just too many hunters around to escape.

“Cassy!” Hannah screamed with worry. I looked up at her and seeing that worried and scared look on her face, made me fight back harder. I focused all my strength and lifted the two guys holding me down into the air. I flung them into some trees and landed with a thump. They all looked at me and I growled at them.

“I wouldn’t attack them, or the girl gets it!” someone yelled. I looked over and saw a woman was holding a knife up to Hannah neck.

“Cassy!” she cried. I knew they were going to kill Hannah rather if I moved or not. I grind my fangs and raised up my hands, surrendering. “If only I was a level three” I thought.

“Ah!” I looked over and saw the woman holding Hannah was dead. Her head was cut clean off. I looked up and saw Hannah was safely in Will arms.

“Will!?” I screamed. I heard a shot go off and a bullet was coming straight for me. I rolled out the way and swiftly grabbed the pistol I dropped. Will landed, and everyone froze with fear. I guess that footage scared them more than I thought. Will walked over to me and Hannah hugged me with rejoice for my safety. Will looked at my hand with the burn and his eyes went a raging red.

“Kill them all” someone commanded. That one command was a mistake as the ground started to vibrate. Will was using his telekinesis but on what I have no idea. I turned around and saw branches from serval trees were broken off. They started to turn and face the running hunters. Then out of nowhere they struck each person through the body, pinning them to the ground. Blood leaked like crazy. That I had to cover Hannah eyes.

“Come on it’s not safe here.” Will stated. I nodded, pulling Hannah, so we could leave.

****

We arrived at the Hall Kingdom. I was super tired and out of breath because we ran here instead of taking a cab. It was too risky, so we took the better option and ran which in my opinion was a bad idea. Will lean on the stone steps to catch his breath and I joined him.

“Okay…not my best plan…”

“Oh…really, why…would you say that!” I stated, rolling my eyes.

“Well today was fun you guys, but I think I’m going to head inside and play with my dolls.” Hannah said. The only reason she wasn’t breathing hard was because she rode on Will back. I waved her goodbye.

“Hey Hannah! Don’t tell…”

“Mom and Dad.” she finished. “Don’t worry big brother, I won’t!”. He nodded at her and she smiled back, going into the kingdom. This huge place hasn’t changed since Van Hall was king. It was still made of stone and had pointy cone roofs. There were glass bay windows all around the kingdom and just to make it look somewhat modern, they painted the grey stones red. We walked inside and were greeted by the staff.

“Welcome home, Master William!” they greeted. I saw Will roll his eyes as he grabbed my hand. He pulled me down the hallway. Even though this wasn’t a tour, just peeking at the décor was breath taking. Me and Will may have been together all our life but when we would hang out together it was always at my house or the forest. So, this is my first official time seeing the Kingdom up close and personal.

“Hey Will! Where are we going?” I asked. He stopped in the hallway but not to answer my question. I looked pass him and saw two people dressed in royal clothing was walking this way. They looked like true royalty at its best. They stopped in front of us and when I could see their faces more clearly, I knew exactly who they were.

“Mom, Dad! What are you doing here? I thought you had a meeting with uncle and the eight Court Jesters.” Will said. His father ignored his question. Which wasn’t new to me, he would always show no emotions towards Will. But even with all the silent treatment he still loved his family.

“We did have a meeting, but it got pushed back to next week. So, me and your father decided to take a stroll in the Kingdoms garden.” she answered. She looked at me and smiled. “Hello Cassandra, it’s good to see you again. How have you been?”

“Oh, hello Queen Amber and King Han. I have been good. You know just living the normal college life.” I replied. She giggled at my statement and waved goodbye.

“Well please enjoy your stay…I don’t know why William would never bring you here when you two were young. But while you’re here please have fun!” Amber stated. They turned the corner and when I looked at Will face, it was red like a tomato. I couldn’t help but giggled at his reaction. He finish pulling me along until we reached a wooden double door. He pushed it open and we walked in, my mind went completely blank. This room, this exact room was the room from my intense dream with Will. I could feel my whole face go red. Will notice and snickered.

“It’s just a room, Cassy…Now come on. I have a first aid kit in the bathroom for your hand.” he said. I followed him to the bathroom while trying to remain calm. He opened a mini closet in the bathroom and pulled out the kit. He sprayed some Holy Water on my burn to help get rid of the silver essence. People always thought through folk legend that Holy Water would destroy us, but that’s not true. Holy water just burns us because it’s like medical alcohol used for humans and when you have an open wound it burns. And people have thought it was our kryptonite since then. It only burned because the vampires they used it on were probably hurt prior before they used it.

I cringed a little but after that my burn went numb and Will wrapped it up. After he was done, I kicked him in the ass. He gave me the ‘what was that for’ look and all I did was growl.

“You know exactly what that was for!” I hissed, continuing to kick him.

“Okay. Okay. Now stop kicking me…I’m sorry!” he expressed. I smirked at his pain and exit the bathroom. I sat on his sofa and motioned him to sit. After rubbing his butt, he sat next to me and playful pushed me. “You always were the bully…and even though it was my fault for leaving you two alone. Thank you for protecting my sister.” he said. I pat his shoulder.

“I would protect her no matter if she was your sister or not. I love Hannah, so there is no need to thank me…but one question though. How did you know we were in danger?” I questioned.

“Well that kind of has to do with this.” He rubbed off my concealer to reveal my mark. “It’s not a lot of information I could gather, but it turns out this mark does not mark you as my property but as a link. We are linked together by this mark and when you started to get stressed out, I felt it and when you got hurt, I felt that pain too. Emotionally not physically and if I didn’t read about that in the book I would have never known.” he explained.

“Woah, that is amazing.” I whispered, rubbing my mark. “Is there anything else I should know?”

“Yes, but the rest may sound weird.” he warned.

“Well it can’t be any weirder than the time we discovered that four headed toad as kids.” I stated.

“Yeah, that was so weird. I had nightmares for weeks, but if you say so. The thing is with my mark on you it says not only are we linked but the biter will also become more clingy and territorial.”

“Territorial meaning you will want to make me yours, right? Well that’s nothing new. It like you haven’t changed at all because you were always like that in high school.”

“Hey! The only reason I was like that was because of the creepy guys you dated back in high school. I mean one would eat rabbit foots right in front of you.” he defended.

“Ha, like you are one to talk. The girls you let hang around you were completely insane!” I remarked. We gave each other a good stare before breaking out into laughter. “Okay truce…but for real I’m fine with that.”

“Well don’t get too comfortable with it. I know a person who can provide more information on this and maybe even find a cure. I will try to get in contact with him, but it will take at least a week.” He got up and switched on the television. “But until then, want to watch a movie?” he asked.

“Sure, but you know the rules.” I teased. He rolled his eyes while flicking through the channels.

“Yeah, yeah. Whenever one of us is the reason for getting caught or hurt. That person has to watch the others favorite genre movie…Romance, right?”

“Bingo! Aww you know me so well.” I laughed. He sighs at my comment while closing the curtains and dimming the lights. He walks over to his mini-fridge and tosses me a can of orange soda. I opened it and took a sip. He returned to the sofa and turned up the tv. The movie playing was the classic romance tale of Dracula. It was good and showed some very explicit parts which made my face start to burn. I glanced over at Will and saw he was yawning. He really wasn’t a romance movie person but just for me he would put up with it. He caught me staring and he winked at me while sticking out his tongue. I rolled my eyes and returned his action. He laughed and then put his arm around me. I leaned my head on his shoulder and took a deep breath.

I would have been nervous because of that dream but we use to do this all the time as kids, so it was quite calm and relaxing. “You know what you did today to save us was amazing. I never knew a level three could have so much skill and power…must be nice.” I said, mumbling that last part. I think he heard me and gave me the ‘I’m sorry’ look.

“Thanks Cassy, but you know you are pretty impressive too. I mean you took out several hunters with one pistol. Your skill with guns haven’t changed since we were kids.”

“Oh, stop you are just saying that to make me…”

“No, I’m not! I’m serious Cassy. I know I don’t say it often, but you are my inspiration and always will be no matter if you are a level two or three.” he confessed. I looked into his eyes which were as serious as could be and quickly turned my head away.

“Thanks, Will.” I said, blushing. A huge roar came from the tv and when I looked at the screen Dracula was roaring over his died lover. I felt something brush against my neck. It was Will finger, he was observing my mark. His face got closer which made my heart beat like crazy. I gripped the cushion of the sofa, nearly tearing it. I knew we were linked by emotions, so I tried my best to hide them, so he couldn’t feel what I was feeling.

“This mark is quite amazing.” he whispers. He was so close to my ear that I almost let out a moan. I nodded at his statement and started to drink my soda with haste. Making some of it miss my mouth and glide down my neck. Will was still observing my neck when it happened. He saw the soda and an evil smile appeared on his face. He pushed me down and caressed my face.

“Will.” I mumbled. He ignored me and leaned in closer to my neck. Licking my neck with full force felt mind blowing. But this scene was becoming too close to my dreams. While still trying to hold in my emotions. I needed a way to push him off. I felt his hand brush against my leg making me moan. I covered my mouth with shock. Hoping he didn’t hear that. He looked at me with wide eyes and started to lean in closer. Our mouths were just mere inches apart. I wanted to move but couldn’t, it was like his glare had command me to stay in place. He brushed his hand up and down my leg just to torture me. I bit my lips to keep in my moan, but my face still showed it all.

“So, your legs are your sensitive spot, huh.” he whispered. “This is going to be fun…”. A smile appeared on his face revealing some fang. Leaning in closer to my mouth until a small but warm kiss commenced. I wanted to push him away, but it was like my brain wasn’t listening to me but to my heart and what it wanted. I wrapped my arms around his neck as our kiss went deeper. Our tongues dancing with one another, never missing one single step.

Bang! The door slammed open and I immediately threw Will off me. He crashed into the wall.

“Are you guys wrestling!? I want to play!” Hannah screams with joy. I quickly popped my collar on my jacket to hide my mark and shook my head in an agreeing motion.

“Yeah we are! And you know what since I won this time, why don’t you take my place and give your brother the beating of his life.” I commented, smirking. Hannah nodded with glee and ran over to her brother. He couldn’t even rub his head in pain because Hannah had jumped him. I laughed at her attack and gave her two thumbs up. I started to curl my hair with my finger. Trying to forget about what just happened. Blaming it all on the mark and not Will himself. I looked over at the two of them and while he was hanging Hannah upside-down, his eyes never stopped looking at me. He smiled at me and even though I wanted to turn my head away, I smiled back. I walked over to them and tapped Hannah hand. “I’m tapping back in. So, get ready for the beating of your life!” I stated, cracking my knuckles. I saw him gulp with fear as he threw Hannah on the bed. He started to back away until he reached the door. He ran out and I went after him. “This is so not cool!” he cried.
