and already one step ahead.    

 

Margaret was actually pacing, thinking and almost about to cry with the look of worry on her face.  she seems to be contemplating on something to do or not to do.  The last time she was called by the council is because she was introduced to a possible candidate for Raine to marry in order to uphold the clan and the righteousness of the species.  Margaret may have escape her fathers brutal way of handling the family and the clan by all the rules but she was pardon since she gave birth to a vampire child.

 

"I just want to be sure that she can be trusted. besides having other humans know of the secret is dangerous.  You know that very well."

 

"That is exactly the reason why we need her close to us so we can watch her closely.  is there something wrong mother?"

 

"No, nothing really.  It's just your brother.  He seems to play with his food and this time it might have gone to far.  Soon your grandfather may notice something.  You know what i mean."

 

"I've already talked to Elizabeth about work and about Raine.  I say she is pretty professional but of course we cannot let the guard down."  "What happen when grandfather called you?"

 

She was fiddling her hands stop pacing to look at Deslan "He wants me to meet the candidates for Raine's future wife.  You can't tell your brother about this, you know how much he hate being told"

 

"That's alright, i think he already know that it is a part of his responsibility.  But mother, what does it has to do with Elizabeth?"

 

"Remember when we met at the office and she touched me and offered her blood?  I felt something strange and sense danger.  I know that she is human but the way she look at Raine is something."

 

"Just trust me mother, you don't need to be worried"  He then led his mother into his room while they wait for dinner and his father.    

 

For vampires, it is important that they kept the ones with pure blood. Deslan and his brothesr case is rare and special.  He is older and human but because Margaret is a princess and with pure blood and high power, he acquired some intellectual abilities and perceptions.  he already know what his mother is talking about and he has been talking to Elizabeth about it.  In fact he is already one step ahead of them as he already arranged Elizabeth's transfer of office as soon as she said yes.

 

The Next Day at the office.    

 

Elizabeth woke up early and went to the office earlier than usual.  Last night she spoke with Deslan about the situation and agreed for her to transfer office.  She was greeted by Deslan and invited her inside the office to talk about what happen.  Elizabeth have taken the offer to transfer office since she can no longer contain her feelings and it is already disturbing her at work.  Her schedule was arranged for proper endorsement of 2 weeks before her transfer.    

 

She then went to the office to prepare the materials needed for the meeting when Raine arrive.  Just like the usual no greetings and went immediately in without even looking at her.  It made her sad but to think that she will be going away soon it gave her a little relief.  For now all she wants to do is inform Raine of her move.  The day went by slowly and the agony of saying goodbye lingers to the atmosphere.  All the meeting went by smoothly so as every transaction.  Not even once did Raine ask for her blood even after a meal, not even a single drop.    

 

She went home puzzled and with breaking heart but she knew that this, whatever she feels needs to stop and it will be very soon.  It was very late when she went home, walking slowly toward the house when a light blinded her stopping her from walking.  The light was from a car and she was surprised when she recognized it.  The car was owned by Raine who is directly looking at her with Peter inside the driver seat.  She was shocked but then recovered and asked "You need my blood? i thought you might since you did not asked any earlier."    

 

Raine walked slowly toward her and reached for her neck to hold.  Elizabeth move her head for him to get easy access and then he hear him whisper "Don't get too highly of yourself, you don't need to come to my office tomorrow."  

 

Raine just then stepped back towards the car and signal Peter to drive him home.  She felt weak and tears come streaming down her face before she even realized she fell to the ground on her knees crying.

This is it!

Elizabeth

 

I heard my mom saying goodbye as she peak inside my room, i did not move at all nor open my eyes to acknowledge. I can already feel some tears threatening to spill from my eyes when i heard mom heading out the door. I remember that night as if it has been forever, but i don't even remember how i was able to come home. I open my eyes and tears start falling out as if a faucet without a stopper i stare at the ceiling. My body was too heavy to move that i can't even turn sideways. All i want to do is cry so i just cover myself hiding from the outside world shutting everything around. After a few minutes i heard my cellphone ring, i thought it will stop but it won't. I search for it on my dresser or the other drawer but its nowhere to be found. The sound was muffled so i think it was hidden until i came to realize it was still inside my bag. But where is my bag? The very question that hovers in my mind. Annoyed by the sound I search for it and drop to the floor very tired. The bag was under my bed as i reached for it the ringing stop for a few second and then goes on again. Opening the bag i try to compose myself so i can answer it without breaking down. Surely it is of highly importance as the person on the other line did not stop at all.

 

"Hello"

 

"Elizabeth, I know what happen and i'm sorry........."

 

 I stayed at home in my room and have not left for 3 days now.  I never felt so broken, nver felt this when i see him feeding nor having fun with his meals.  I know I am the one  to blame for giving up and giving that final decision, but i know i have to.  Maybe because i though he would stop me or come running to tell me that he needs me.  His last words kept on whisphering "You are just like them, my meal" just before he left me on the road near m ouur house.  Tears just then started to fall endlessly until there's no more left.  I can't even imagine that my eyes can shed teats that could fill up a swimming pool.  But none of this matter for i will no longer see him, soon i have to stand up and face tomorrow.  But for now i want to stay here, in the warmth of my blanket and comfort of my bed.

After what seemed foreer my mother knocked "honey, you have to get out and you have to be back at work.  A letter just came iin for your new job".

At the sound of the word "job" my ears perked like a dog sensing that i have to do something.  Fueled by despair my legs can't seem to remember the felt of the floor or the ground but my mothers voice awaken me.  I remembered the day when I promised her that after I graduate I will take care of her and this is where i am.  I muster all my strength and answered "Yes mom! I will be right out.  Can you please slipped the letter under the door.  Thank you!"

Sat up and stayed at the edge of the bed as i saw mother slipping the letter and come into my view.  There it was again "the logo of that company: Ample".  Still felt that sting but i know i have to be strong, for my mother and for myself.  I realized that i have to prove him wrong, that i can live without him, that what happened is just a memory and a past where life challenges is to be faced and learned.

It was a week that i kept everything and cried all by my self, here i am now trying to stand up and act normal n front of my mother.

"Finally you came out.  What was the letter about? You have not talked to me or left your room for a long time.  I almost forget what you look like and you seem so different?  What happen?"

Just when I thought that everything is OK that I can finally start over again, tears fell and i can't do anything to stop it or even hide it.  I guess you cannot really keep anythng from my boloved mother.  She gave me a hug and seems to understand the situation even without a word.  After i cried myself out, i told mother that there was just some problem with other branch of the company so i will be transferring.  For the week off, i told her that it was a little thank you for accepting the job and be relocated.  My mother was not convinced but she understand me very well and did no longer push for any of the story.

"So what was the letter about?" my mother asked.

"It was my new assignment.  Remember they gave me this vacation to prepare for my new role for the company.  I was assigned to the new Branch to start the secretarial office and assist the presedent there."

"But why are they relocating you? I didn't hear anything about your transfer but from what i can see you are not happy about this." here goes my worried mother.

"I was the one who asked for it mother. There is nothing wrong, really.  The manager just felt that i am the right person for the job and this is part of them commending me for doing a very good job.  i was just a bit upset as the decison came in so soon.  You see I already have friends there."  trying to conveince my mom about my situation.  How I wish i could tell the truth.

"Honey, the office is not that far and if you said that you were the one suitable for the job then it means a promotion.  With that means celebration! right?!" the worries replaced with excitement.  What can I say i don't want her to be worried but it break my heart to lie to her.  So she went to the refrigerator to search for something to cook for our little celebration.  as for me i took the time to fix myself as I think i can already smell myself ugh!

Taking a bath after 5 days is very refreshing.  I can fully understand why is it so important to take a bath frequently.
