Interrogated by the vampire prince

Chapter 35: Interrogated by the vampire prince.

The minute Mona and Dane left the dining room, I felt a hand grab mine and we disappeared, in a flash and when I looked, I found myself in an open field.

I looked round, searching for the familiar cold floor and old bricks in the palace but found none. The only possible human being I found in front of me was Jake.

"What the fuck was that?." I asked, visibly annoyed by him. "You're hiding things from me, Ellie. Why?." My mind consciously let me know that he might have suspected me. I quickly pushed it behind and cleared my throat.

"Why..why would I do that?." I asked, gulping down nothing, I was tensed. He looked at me for a while without saying a word.

"You're stuttering, and you're definitely hiding something Elena. I know, I feel like you met someone yesternight and you were quick to cover up. Even when I tried to smell the intruder, I couldn't.

Yesternight, a guard was found dead at his duty post. For someone to knock off a vampire, the person must be really very strong. And for a strong reason, I feel you've got a hand in this and then I thought maybe you must have tried to escape while we were on a night hunt. So tell me, am I wrong?."

"Definitely wrong." I replied, and he scoffed. "What makes you think so, huh?" I smiled. "Uh-uh, a vampire has a great sense of smell, if I had seen someone yesterday, you could have just smelt it out. If I was the one to knock off a guard yesterday, I wouldn't be standing in front of you. I'd be long gone."

"I still think you're lying to me but I'll let it slide because I know I'll definitely find the intruder. Elena Wilson, I'm doing all of this to protect my woman, if they take you away from me again, I don't know what I'd do to people. I love you and want the best for us."

"You're not my man, Jake. I was never yours, I'm destined to be with someone else. Let me go, Jake. Let me go." I cried, tired of begging him already.

"You're mine, whether you like it or not. I'm gonna kill your soulmate, and take you away, I promise." He said, and melted away.

"Dickhead." I cursed out loud and started a 5km walk back to the castle. I mentally cursed him for ever giving me a punishment such as this. He beamed me up to a field and teleported back without me.

I'd also like to recommend being out in the open field. I was not exactly glad that Jake was suspecting me. He had to take me out of the castle to interrogate me. And it was starting to make sense now. The vampires were always out at night hunting their prey and creeping back to their coffin in the daytime. That was how Stefan found a chance to get in and meet me.

I remembered the way Stefan held me yesterday and kissed me deeply. I didn't exactly think of seeing him again, I thought he had moved on with his ex-girlfriend. I thought he might have been very happy to get rid of me. Thanks to Cali Jeane, I wasn't killed.

If he keeps coming back here, Jake would kill him at sight. Though I do not know if he was gonna come back. How he managed to hide his scent, killed a guard and got into my room still baffled me. Jake was closeby with his prey, he could hear anything, but Stefan was able to talk clearly and Jake didn't hear him, instead he noticed when I happened to go outside to check if someone was coming, and the minute Stefan sensed Jake coming back, he disappeared.

That gave me the hope that he wasn't eternally gone and he'd be coming back tonight.

I reached the castle in no time and decided to walk straight to my room. I met a few maids and I wondered if they weren't vampires because I think they should be asleep by now.

My powers had not fully developed because of what happened to me months ago, I can't smell things, I can't sense things before they happen to me, I can't teleport either, but I could fight with it, not exactly though.

I had to learn some few tricks to fight people but when I'm angered, my powers burst off like a wind, making me feel like I'm on top of the universe. But then, I learned how to read minds on my own. I have lots of abilities, more powers than anyone but I can't use them.

I saw a maid walking into the kitchen, I noticed the way they were speaking so inaudibly, and I was surprised to see them talking. It was the first time I'm seeing them converse, it was like the vamps warned them never to speak to one another. They rarely speak to each other, I was angry that I could not hear any word they said so I walked in on them.

They immediately bowed in front of me, which I didn't like them doing all the time. It was time to tell them not to bow every time they saw me. I'm no princess and I was never going to be their queen.

"Do you need something, Princess?." The blond girl asked, she had pale skin and she looked so skinny but beautiful.

The other three girls looked the same with almost the same skin color, they had similar uniforms and they packed their hairs in pony tails. They looked human, thus confirming my curiosity.
