Tales of Cecile's Diary

Chapter Nine

"I..." My mouth was wide open for any passing fly to explore. I looked at the vampire again not knowing how to address her. Then again, she was the last person I expected to see, and now I was getting nervous. It would just be my luck if Lady Evelyn would walk in just after her daughter.

Oh, that would be quite a show.

"L-Lady Katherine." I addressed, for my safety. Who knows her temper must be much worse than Haden's and Lord Edward's. It seems intimidation runs in this family; I wonder how the other slaves must have been enduring this. This bunch of emotionless people would be a horrendous sight to see every day. I sighed, boo-hoo me. This is my new life now.

Instead, the Lady walked into my room brushing past me with arrogance and I closed the door behind me, it wasn't as if I could do much. Me scolding the vampire for her rudeness would be me pushing it. I would rather have my head intact than have it on a spike.

The silence in the room was scary, all I could do was to stand in front of the closed door and watch the vampire as she scanned my room as if looking for something negative to use against me.

Now I was getting paranoid why the hell would she appear at my door? I scanned my head taking a pause when I realized she could read my thoughts and I paused.

"I heard you arrived here just two months ago." She spoke as she sat on the wooden chair in front of my desk, the diary was a few inches close to her bed and I prayed she doesn't see it.

Instead, I just nodded, I wasn't sure if my mouth could produce any coherent sentence.

"And you were given Mariel's work on that same day!" She hissed. Standing up from where she was seated and walked towards me with suspicion.

"Now, would you tell me why you're here? Who sent you!" I flinched as she flashed in front of me gripping my chin. Seriously, why do they all think I'm here for a reason? I don't get it, it not my fault all this is happening it just my horrible luck.

"Hmmm. Tsk. Tsk. You've made a mistake coming here, I would make sure I..." she turned away from me and paused when she saw it. I closed my eyes in fear; this is what I was most afraid of happening.

"Where did you get this?" She walked to the book and picked it up facing me with pain in her eyes before she hid the emotion.

"Answer me!" She looked furious and I quickly responded before she attacked me. I moved back a little for the fear of her attacking me.

"I-I got it from my-my Aunt, I swear I didn't know anything about it."

She narrowed her eyes moving closer to me while I moved back and hit something behind me, my bedside lamp smashed into tiny pieces and I squirmed. This isn't my day.

"What's her name?"

"Joanne." I burst.

"Her full name you idiot." She hissed.

Idiot? I internally scoffed. Oh, you're more of an i***t than I am.

Her eyes widened and I squealed. "Joanne Davis!" Now I felt like I just rat Auntie Jo out.

Another knock on the door and I froze. Why do I feel like I already know who it is? My fingers started to shake as Katherine looked at me, signaling me to open the door as she took a seat on a chair, looking as if nothing is happening.

I opened the door and I gulped.

Damn my instincts, Lady Evelyn glared at me from the door. Pointing her perfectly manicured and shaped nails at my face.

"You!" She screamed at me. I sighed, I have received enough glares to last me a lifetime. If this I how I would live for the rest of my life I would need to start making plans of escaping this damned place. I don't think I'll last long in this place; I always seem to find a way of pissing people off. And I'm afraid I'll piss the wrong person off and that might lead to my very painful and pathetic death.

"I would make sure your life is a living hell if you don't keep your mouth shut."

"What are you doing here you w***e?" Katherine spoke behind me with a tone of disgust.

Lady Evelyn looked surprised for a second before she scowled. "Watch your mouth you spoilt brat, or I'll make you regret it."

"Wait, what will you do? Lock me up in the basement or what." Katherine scoffed. "Look I'm no longer that young girl you could scare decades ago. I mean... don't you have any shame? For goodness sake you're still my father's mistress, don't act like my mother because you're not and I will kill you myself before that happens." Katherine walked up to the door pushing me away.

"Now if you'll excuse me 'w***e' I have something to discuss with Cecile..."

Lady Evelyn gasped before she slapped Katherine on the face thrice on both cheeks. I gasped, her hands moved so fast I didn't blink once.

Katherine scoffed as she pushed her hair off her face, "Is that all? Are you done" she mocked before she spat on the woman's face and gave her four slaps in return, and slammed the door on her face.

The door slammed shut, it silence reigned in the room.

My eyes widened in surprise, all that information and drama just froze me up and I moved farther from the vampire.

Katherine still faced the door, breathing hard and I got more scared. Who knows she might take her anger out on me.

Now I understand. Lady Evelyn is Lord Edward's mistress. That means something happens to the vampire Lord's wife.

After a few minutes, Katherine walked out the door and slammed it without saying a word. Another enemy, yay me. I sighed.

I may be getting closer to dying than I thought, I better start making plans. This family is twisted and I feel a lot of drama is going on and sadly I may be in between everything.
