Chapter 10 (Ascelin Office)

Third POV...

"Tell me, Lord Ascelin, why are we wasting our time with this girl?" Violet said in Ascelin office with the rest of them.

"Clearly she's important to him, Violet, but I don't understand why we are apart of this?" Zero said standing next to Jarmee by the bookcase.

"Is she a toy or something?" Jarmee asked, Sydney send him a death glare, she will be damn if she will let someone use Noelia as a object, "She's a good person, that's all I'm saying, I wouldn't think to kind if we just here for lust of beautiful blood."

"You want her blood too, Jarmee," Zora remind Jarmee and he smiled.

"But at least I know my place," Jarmee said looking at Violet and she rolled her eyes.

"Lord Ascelin, I've been with Noelia for eight years and all I experience is that she's a little fesity and loyal...she's just a human so why us vampire worrying about a simple human? Is it for her blood?" Sydney asked and they all look over at Ascelin for some answer.

"Tell me, what where you guys doing before I found you?" Ascelin said staring out his office window. The group looked at him stunn not wanting to think about their past. Nobody speaks on anyone past, but they all knew that if it wasn't for Ascelin saving them, they wouldn't know where they will be...dead, a killer, rogue, a mistress, whatever.

"But Lord?" Zora whispered.

"And you still have the audacity to question me in what I'm doing?" Ascelin said turning to them, they all ashamedly bowed their head at their Lord disappointing glaze. Ascelin power was out of this world, clearly there was no doubt he was born to a parents of the original vampires. He's part of the vampire counsel in the vampire realm and just an all out vampire that no one should mess with. The group agreed to work for him because the knew that he was going to take care of them and so far he has, "I've told you from the beginning to only follow my order and don't ask questions."

"I get that my Lord, but why are we here with this human?" Violet said asking the question everybody's been wondering.

"In do time you will find out why she is so special to me, this is a process and in order to keep everything in order I need things to go one step at a time," Ascelin said.

"Understand, My Lord," Violet said bowing her head and the rest followed, "I'm sorry."

"Zero, Zora, I need these vamps taking care of," Ascelin said holding up a thin folder, Zora got up to grab the folder and opened it to see three vampires and their information.

"What they do?" Zora asked as Zero came up to take the folder from her and read the men information.

"They killed Noelia parents, can you handle them for me?" Ascelin asked.

"Of course!" Zora smiled touching Zero shoulder, "let's go."

"This will be fun!" Zero smirked. The two left in a blink of an eye leaving the rest in the office.

"So what now?" Merkai asked running her hands through Sydney hair.

"I need the rest of you guys to be high alert this week, I will be having a couple of visitors this week and I don't want them feeding around this area," Ascelin said and the three of them nod, "Armelle will be one of them..."

"What does she want?" Jarmee said at the mention of that name because Armelle just bring trouble wherever she goes.

"I don't know, but be more cautious when she comes and I will need Noelia to be far away from here, I don't need Armelle to smell her."

"Is that it, Lord Ascelin?" Violet asked.

"For now, thank you," Ascelin said then walked out his office. He was about to go down to Jarmee's room but something told him that Noelia was back in his room. He walked down to his room to see her laying face down on his bed.

"Rose?"

(Noelia POV)

"Rose?" I hear Ascelin voice coming out of nowhere. Thank god because I was getting bored by the second.

"Ascelin," I said sitting up on the bed to look at him, "are you done?"

"Yes, I am," Ascelin said coming over to me to kiss my forehead, "I think you should go visit your parents this week?"

"Really?" I asked a little shocked, I thought I was going to be stuck in this house for eternity.

"Just for this one time, I will be really busy this week so Sydney will accompany you," he said and I frowned.

"Why Sydney?" I frowned.

"Don't be to hard on her, Rose, her friendship with you wasn't a lie," Ascelin said, "and she's the one that knows you best."

"Whatever, but that doesn't mean I'm going to be nice to her," I said crossing my arms over my chest, " and what's keeping you busy that I have to be away from you?" Ascelin paused for a second replay the words I just said.

"I have important meetings to attend to and I don't need them catching a whiff of your scent," he said.

"Are these bad vampires?"

"They can be if they desperately want something. The blood running through your veins is..."

"Delicious?"

"Did Jarmee tell you that?" Ascelin mugged and I couldn't help but smile, "that too, but it's also rare which will make any vampire go crazy for it."

"Why haven't you or the rest went crazy?" I asked curious.

"We don't want to kill you," Ascelin said and I frowned. Great, my blood can get myself kill.

"Why can't I just turn back into a vampire?" I whispered.

"It's complicated and dangerous," Ascelin said looking down at me worriedly.

"Ok, should I call my father and say that I'm coming this week?"

"Yes, you will be leaving Tuesday night," Ascelin said and I nod. When the conversation was over, I wrapped my arms around his neck and climbed onto his lap. I buried my face into his neck and I sighed in comfort.

"You are so comfortable," I mumbled in his neck. I would have never guess that I will ever be clingy to anyone but apparently I'm starting to be with Ascelin. Which I believe I can be clingy because it seems like Ascelin and I had a relationship back then and I was probably this clingy back then too. I wonder if I was really ten when Ascelin showed me that vision with him, and I, or did I just look ten at that time? Was I truly a virgin before Troy, Hmmm? Questions, questions, questions.

"Hey, did we ever sleep together?" I asked.

"What?" Ascelin said pulling away from me to look me in my eyes and I blushed.

"I just wanted to know if I was a virgin when I slept with Troy..."

"Troy, huh, the guy from the library?" Ascelin said not so happy.

"That was a mistake, really," I said placing my hand on his cheek.

"Uhm," Ascelin said in thought, "but if you must know, no, you weren't a virgin for quite some time," my eyes widen at his answer and I quickly buried my face into his chest to hide my blush. How old am I?

"Well, I can't say that I'm not happy to hear that," I said. I'm really excited that the douche bag Troy wasn't my first even though I don't remember my first time but maybe I will after I somehow receive my memory back, "just forget about it, I just wanted to know."

"I can't now, all I can see now is..." Ascelin teased and I quickly covered my eyes.

"Don't!" I blushed.

"Ok, but I want to show you something," Ascelin said standing us both up on our feet.

"Right now?" I asked.

"Close your eyes," he whispered.

"Ok," I said taking a deep breath and slowly closed my eyes and when I opened then I was staring at the most breathtaking scenery I have ever laid eyes on.
