Chapter 14 - Payback,Carnival, Fun & love!

(Paradise POV)

The sounds of beeping woke me out of my slumber. I tried to move but the heaviness that my chest and body felt drowned me.

Maybe this was just a dream and I was still sleeping, so, I attempted to move again and this time my arms moved a little.

I wiggled my toes to make sure they were working and then I wiggled my fingers. That damn beeping noise added on to the headache that was starting to build up.

"Turn that shit off,"

I said as I fluttered my eyes open and held my throat. It burned and it was tender to the touch.

When my eyes finally adjusted to the lighting in the room I looked around and saw it wasn't exactly the room I remembered.

I held my throat and tried to clear it.

"Where am I?" I said barely above a whisper.

I pushed myself up and leaned my back against the back of the wall. I grabbed my head and whispered, "Please make that beeping sound go away."

I threw my legs over one side of the bed and studied my surroundings more.

The room was empty so I decided to end the beeping noise myself. I studied the cord and what it was hooked up to and followed it to my heart, I yanked the cord off of my chest thinking it was going to silence the beeping.

I let out a low squeal at the small hairs that were pulled off during my yanking challenge. However, the monitor flat-lined and the noise turned into a constant ringing.

"Paradise" Emrick yelled as he barged through the door.

"What?" I said a little louder but with a raspy voice.

He stared at the cord that was now dangling against the monitor that was letting off a constant ringing sound and then he stared back at me. Before he could say anything Emerald busted through the door.

"Where is sh-?" She stopped her sentence and stared at me with a confused look and then she pointed.

"There she issss." Emerald looked at Emrick then back at me and folded her arms.

"Really Paradise?" I stared at her and then shrugged my shoulders,

"What?" I replied with my raspy voice,

"That thing was getting on my nerves, and now it's starting to piss me off. I thought if I unhooked the thing it would stop but the noise got louder."

I started to stand up but Emrick and Emerald rushed over to me with their hands out.

"No, baby girl you need to rest." He said as he tried to lay me back down.

I looked at both of them with a wired expression.

"I got choked by a demon not killed by one. Now if you don't mind I want to go take a shower."

I tried to push myself up but my arms gave out.

"Why am I so weak?" I asked as I fixed myself on the bed,

"I mean she just choked me, it's not like she did anything else."

I shook my head and whispered foul language to myself.

"Well, she put a toll on you and your throat," Emrick growled as his eyes grew darker.

Emerald touched Emrick's arm and told him to sit down by me.

"Your body is trying to heal itself, so, it's taking up all your energy but nothing too serious."

She said as she looked down at me and smiled.

"You'll just need some assistance for a few, then you'll be back to normal."

I gave her a confused look with lots of questions behind it while she silenced that dumb machine.

"Ho-" Before I could finish the word Emrick interrupted.

"You were so focused on that beeping sound that you didn't realize you were also hooked up to something else." I turned my head to look in the direction he was looking at and saw a bag of blood.

"Whose blood is that?" I said as I turned my head back to Emrick's.

"That's my blood sweetheart." He said as he smiled at me.

"The reason why I wasn't here is that I was filling up another bag to hook you up too."

I gave him a disgusted look, "Why would I need to be hooked up to your blood?"

I asked while attempting to yank the cord out of my arm.

"You're my mate so you're able to accept my blood, and besides it's helping you heal much faster than normal."

He said as he gave my hand a little squeeze and stopped me from pulling the cord out of my arm.

Emerald stepped up and pointed at the mirror to the left of us, "Your neck is already healing." I grabbed my neck and saw that the bruises were disappearing right before my eyes.

"Oh wow," I said with a much clearer voice. "So, if this bag of blood is already working why do I need another one?" I continued to rub my neck and observe the bruises disappearing.

"Well, that's healing your bruises, the other bag of blood will rebuild your strength and give you a little more," Emrick said while taking off the now empty bag of blood and hooking the other one up.

"Where are we by the way?" I said as I scanned the area a little more carefully.

"Emerald go get her something to eat," Emrick said as he turned his attention towards me.

"We are in the lower point of the house. It's a medical unit that we really don't use but I guess it did come in handy for you, huh?"

He walked over to me and lifted my legs up and gently sat them down on the bed. Emrick gave me the remote and laid down beside me on the bed.

I laid my head on his shoulder and flicked through the channels until I found some cartoons. We sat in silence for a while until Emm brought back a tray full of food.

"After you finish that and this you are free to go," Emerald said as she pointed to the bag of blood and handed Emrick the tray full of food.

I nodded and sat up with my back against the headboard of the bed. Emrick placed the food tray on my lap and I dug in.

There was a bowl of fresh fruit on one end, a cup of sprite on the other end, and in the middle was a steak and fresh steamed vegetables.

All I could do was moan as I tasted all the food and every ounce of flavor it had to offer me. Once I was done with everything I laid down and decided to take a fifteen-minute nap because that's how long it would take for my blood bag to finish.

(Emericks POV)

I gently removed the tray off the bed and moved Paradise over so she was laying on my chest. I could tell she was getting better and that my blood was working.

Emerald left five minutes ago and went upstairs to get dressed. My parents wanted Leviticus, Angeline, Emerald, Paradise, and I to go somewhere and hang out.

Everyone decided to go to the amusement park, so, as soon as this bag was done I was going to wake Paradise up so she could get ready.

When I found my sister waking up and saw my mate laying on the floor barely responsive I was furious.

I gathered Paradise in my arms and sped her downstairs to the medical room. There my father and mother worked to get her comfortable and hooked up to everything. While they did that I sped to Leviticus' room and busted through his door.

I didn't even give Leviticus any time to respond. I just sped across his room and grabbed him by his throat and told him to keep his mate on a leash before she gets hurt. I threw him across the room and sped back downstairs to my mate.

I was so mad yesterday I could've killed him and his mate but I thought about mother and father. I looked over at the bag of blood and saw that it was done so I unhooked her from it and threw both bags in the trash.

I grabbed Paradise clothes and took the gown off and threw on her clothes from yesterday.

"Baby, wake up," I said as I gently shook her.

"Has fifteen minutes passed already?" She said as she sat up and wiped at her eyes,

"What th-" I cut her off before she could say anything.

"I unhooked everything and threw your clothes back on you. Come on so we can get you washed up, We're going somewhere fun in a few."

I walked towards the door and up the stairs with her right on my heels.

While Paradise was in the shower I picked her out some clothes and told her about where we were going.

She wasn't too happy about Angeline going but she knew there was no other way around it.

After she threw on her clothes and did her hair we headed towards the stairs, but we were stopped by Angeline.

"Hey Paradise," Angeline said as she slowly walked up to us with a smirk on her face.

Instead of responding Paradise just stood right there with a disgusted look on her face.

"I see you didn't learn your lesson the first time about being nice." Angeline's smirk grew as she slowly made her way to Paradise, but I stepped in front of her before she could reach her.

"Move," Paradise said with more defiance. I turned around to question her but instead, she responded back with a warning on what would happen if I didn't move, so I did.

Angeline smirked, "I see you gre-." Before she could finish Paradise swung her fist back and smashed it into Angeline's face and headed outside without looking back.

I stared at Angeline while she laid on the ground holding her nose.

"What the fuck did you do Emrick?"

Leviticus yelled as he came running towards his mate. I laughed and shook my head, "I did nothing to her but my mate punched her." I said as I shook my head and laughed some more.

"How the fuck could Paradise break a demons nose?" Leviticus said as he helped Angeline up.

"I gave her two bags of my blood." I threw my hands in my pocket and headed downstairs.

"Paybacks a bitch. We'll be waiting in the car, I'm sure you guys will need some time."

With that, I closed the door to the house and headed to the car with a proud look on my face.

"That's my girl, you broke her nose," I said as I connected my fist with Paradise fist,

"Good, the bitch deserved it, "Paradise said with a nod.

After waiting an extra fifteen minutes for Angeline and Leviticus they had finally come out and followed behind us in a different car.

Paradise wouldn't stop asking me where we were going and I couldn't be happier. The bruises were finally gone and her strength was back to normal as well as that glow of hers.

"Are you taking me to a Carnival, Emrick?" Paradise said as she tried to hold back her squeals.

I just nodded and parked the car at the other end of the entrance. We walked right in without being stopped and split up.

Paradise and I went one way, Emerald decided to do her own thing and went another way, while Angeline and Leviticus went another way.

Paradise ran over to the first roller coaster she had seen, which so happened to be the fastest while pulling me behind her.

Even though I was a vampire I still didn't like those things and I don't think I ever will. Never liked them when I was human and I damn sure don't like them now.

"Are you ready?" Paradise yelled with excitement in her voice.

I turned my head to the left of me and gave her an unsure smile "Yeah baby, of course."

I leaned in to kiss her but before I could the roller coaster took off with full speed,

"Yeaaaahhhhh!!" Paradise yelled with her hands in the air while I screamed and held on to the bars for dear life.

There were so many loops, twists, and turns that I thought I was going to pass out. Eventually near the end Paradise had stopped yelling and started pointing and laughing at me.

When we finally came to a stop the bar I held on to was pretty bent. The man who was supposed to unlock the bars just stared at me.

"Woah man, like where did you get all the strength?" I just gave him a real toothy grin and said it's "Magic." and walked away.

I turned around before stepping off the last step and informed him that I would pay for the damages.

"I didn't know that you didn't like roller coasters If I would've known that then I wouldn't have asked you to get on with me," Paradise said as she ate a handful of cotton candy and smiled.

I grabbed her free hand, "Do you think I would let a beautiful thing like yourself ride a roller coaster alone. Do you know how many guys would try to ride with you?"

She smiled and ate some more of her cotton candy, "yeah, you're right. I am kind of cute."

I just shook my head and whispered to her, "You're beautiful." After walking around and letting her get and eat whatever she wanted we went to one of the games and I won her a big stuffed koala bear.

She jumped up and down and pulled me towards this ride called 'Lovers Lane'. We climbed on a heart-shaped seat and slowly made our way down the water. She cuddled into my side and held onto her bear.

"I love you." She whispered as she looked up at me. My smile stretched so wide and my eyes sparkled.

"I love you too my beautiful Queen," I said as I caressed her face and gave her a passionate kiss.

The rest of the night happened in a blur but that was okay with me because I was almost complete.
