Marina the Vampire, Catherine Burton [good books to read in english txt] 📗

Egypt, swear my loyalty to you.” She then kneels and takes my hands and continues, “Will you, Camsie of the beginning, let me into your council?” She then looks into my eyes, waiting for my answer.
I say, “Yes, Cire of Egypt, I allow you to rejoin my council with a high status, which has not been used since your time that sounds good to have back. You are now my bodyguard slash friend again.” We both smile and we then hug for a long time. It is good to have old friends back.
We both head into the house. “Hay, can my friend Erin stay? She just got here and she forgot that her ride was not going to come on time and they gave her hotel room to someone. She got a refund and now she is looking for a place to stay. So, can she stay here?” I ask.
Heather says with a smile, “Sure, a friend of Marina’s is a friend of mine.”
Erin replies, “Thanks for letting me stay here on a short notice. You know, I really like your house.” She then looks around.
“Thanks and my name is Heather,” says Heather.
So I head to my room on the third floor. It is a large room with gold walls and a white bed. The bed is queen sized with gold trim sheets that are very soft. My restroom is connected to Ryan’s room. It has two sinks, a large tub, and a roomy shower. And on the second level is Erin’s room. Her room has multiple shades of purple. A twin sized mattress, which she does not mind the size of. The restroom is its own and is small. Ryan’s room is white with red trim. He says that he likes his king size bed but I am sure that he will sneak into my room and try to sleep with me. I will hunt tomorrow so that if Ryan does do that he won’t notice me gone. I put on my lounge pants and T-shirt then get into my bed. It feels like I am on a cloud. I have not slept in days so I am really tired right now.
I force myself to stay up so that Ryan will not wake me when or if he comes in. At midnight I am on the verge of sleep when I here Ryan open my door to the restroom and walks in. He gets into my bed with only lounge pants on and put his arm around me. I am about to move and get him out of my bed but I am too tired to care so I let him stay. When he is asleep I turn so that my ear is over his heart. It sooths me and I drift to sleep.

Chapter 3

When I wake up but Ryan is still asleep. I inhale through my nose and take in his smell. He smells wonderful like a bouquet of many flowers, they all smell good on their own yet they smell wonderful together. He stirs and wakes up and I pretend to be asleep. He brushes my hair with his fingers and I pretend that I am just waking up. “Good morning Ryan. How did you sleep last night?” I ask. He looks like he just got caught robbing a bank when I look at him.
“I slept well, how ‘bout you?” he answers.
“Good and no prob. I enjoyed your company last night,” I reply.
Ryan smiles and says, “Anytime you want babe. Just let me know.” He leans down and kisses my forehead.
“I will let you know,” I reply and go up and kiss him on the lips. He kisses back and we just kiss each other for about a minute when Ryan tries to strip me. “Stop, at least not now,” I say, then we continue to kiss for five minutes.
Heather knocks on the door and says, “Marina, I am serving breakfast now so you know. Come down soon if you want some hot food and tell Ryan, too.”
I yell in reply, “Sure, be down in about a minute.” Heather goes down stairs. “Ryan I am going to go get breakfast, are you coming?” I ask him.
“Sure, why not?” Ryan replies. We get out of bed and head downstairs.
“Good morning Marina. Good morning Ryan. How did you two sleep last night?” Erin asks as we come downstairs.
“Good.” We reply at the same time.
“Hay FYI this is really good bacon, complements to the chef,” Erin says and looks at Heather.
“Thank you, I always like it when people enjoy my food,” explains Heather. Ryan and I sit next to each other and start eating our food. Bacon, scrambled eggs, French toast, waffles, fruit mix, and sausage links. Ryan looks as if he has seen water and food only one other time in his life. He eats his waffles with about a pound of syrup on each one. I eat slowly but the food does not sooth my real hunger, blood. “Here Marina a special drink mix that you said was your favorite on the phone so I want out and got some for you,” Heather says with a wink. She hands me a twenty four ounce glass with some red substance in it, fruit punch? I take a sip and I feel much better, it is blood.
“Thanks that really hit the spot.” “How did you know that I needed blood?” I ask Heather mentally.
“You looked like you needed some so, ya,” she replies. I smile at her and continue to eat and drink. When I am done I go to my bathroom to take a shower.
Ryan opens the bathroom door when I get ready to get in the shower, nude. He says, “Do you mind if I join you in the shower or tub, your choice.”
I stare at him and say, “Tub, and I want a bubble bath.”
He smiles and says joking, “Yes your majesty.” He bows and his lounge pants slide down. His face turns red. He gets the bubble soap and pours it into the tub and turns on the water. Then he takes off his boxers and is nude, like me. About a minute later the tub is full of water and bubbles. I head in first and wait for him to come in. It feels great on my skin. Ryan came in on the other side of the tub. Every so often he would move closer to me hoping I did not notice but, I did.
“So why did you let me join you?” Ryan asks trying to start a conversation with me.
“Well, I don’t mind company with anything that can be shared,” I answer honestly. He is about a foot away from me.
“Well, are you thinking what I am thinking?” he asks, five inches away.
“What are you thinking?” I ask, two inches.
“Well I am thinking about having sex, you up for that?” he says, and flexes his muscular body at me. I forgot how strong he is.
“Well maybe tomorrow night but not tonight” I reply looking at the bubbles in front of me, not at him.
He kisses my right cheek and says, “Sure that sounds fair, can’t wait for tomorrow night then.” He keeps kissing my cheek and then I turn my head to kiss him back. We kiss for ten minutes then he makes a move on me. I get out of the tub at human speed. I stare at him and he looks ashamed for what he just did. “Sorry, I just couldn’t contain myself. Will you forgive me, my love?” he asks, looking up at me with puppy dog eyes.
“Yes, I forgive you,” I say. Ryan smiles at me. He gets out of the tub, puts his towel on, and unplugs the tub. We leave the bathroom and head to our rooms to get dressed.
I put on a black skin tight top, black skinny jeans, and new black high tops. I put on my makeup on in my room. I also brush my wet dark brown hair back and look at myself in the mirror to see how I look. I look ready to kill anything that gets in my way. I am going to hunt all day so that I am good for tomorrow. I am just being safe around him so that I don’t kill him. I look in the mirror and see Ryan. I turn and look at him. He tried to not let me see him. Now he is looking at the back and front of me. He seems to be enjoying it because he has this devilish smile on his face. I say, “Hay, can I have like five minutes to myself please.”
He replies with sadness in his voice, “Sure, I promise that I will give you five minutes to yourself.” He closes the door and heads downstairs. I then put on five knifes. I wear them so that I can protect myself.
I walk down the stairs and Ryan is watching TV. He turns, smiles at me, and continues to watch TV. “Hay I am going out all day to hunt with Erin, just so that you know.” I tell Heather. “Hay I am going shopping with Erin all day so I won’t be back till nine,” I say out loud. Then Erin and I go out the front door and head in my new car that just arrived. We drive to the main city and we park at a library parking lot. We walk to the dark allies and look for pray. About one minute later I see a man with a shopping cart comes down one of the allies. I go down to the man, who seams polite.
“Hello young lady do you need any help?” he asks me. He is more than seventy years old. I run and put my hand over his mouth so that he does not scream.
I whisper in his ear, “You will now die so that someone else can live.” At that moment my fangs shoot out of my gums and pierce themselves into the man’s neck. The blood pours out all over my mouth and down my throat.
When I am done with him I put him in his cart and leave the area. Erin has finished with her own meal. We then go to another area to get one more kill. Once we reached another section, there is a vampire drinking the blood of a man. He throws down the body and looks at us. “What do you want?” he asks in a mean tone.
“I want to know your name, sir,” I say to him.
“Well you tell me yours first then I will tell you mine,” he says.
I reply, “My friend’s name is Tina and my name is Fran. What’s yours?” I lie only to protect our real identities.
“My name is Zame, I am from Africa but came here for my job. Now why did you want to know my name Fran?” he asks.
I answer honestly, “I just wanted to know your name so that I could see if I remember your name. By the way I don’t remember it or you.” He looks at me and notices some blood on
