"What...what are you doing?" Her frightened gaze was on the bottle I held in my grasp
"You sound scared" I mocked "why? Will you die if you don't take this?" I asked holding the drug up as I swung it in mockery. She leaped forward in hopes to get it from me but I was faster
"Easy" I laughed to her annoyance "why does it feel like I am holding unto your life hmm?" I guess she wasn't lying, this liquid really is important to her life.
Her lips quiver "What do you want?" She questioned with a glare but she still couldn't use the panic in her voice
"You know what I want. Where is your sister?" My plan is, in order to save her life she will tell me what I wanted to hear and I will return to her the drug. We all stay happy!
"I thought I made it clear already I have only a brother" she huffed out annoyed. Still playing hard I see...
"Well then, invite him over" I suggested. If she truly has a brother, then he should come to visit her
"You really are too full of yourself Your highness. Do you think you can control everyone?! My brother has no reason to come here" too full of myself... I laughed at that sentence
"You don't know what being too full of themselves can do right?" We stared at each other, hers with contempt and mine, amused. She amuses me "Well, invite your brother over and you will not only get your drug back, but you also wouldn't be finding out what being too full of yourself can do. But, if you don't, then rest in peace" I grinned walking out of her room. Badurad informed me she had requested for a phone some days ago after our first conversation which he bought for her.
I hated how he had gotten her a phone without telling me. Leaving me in utter frustration! I would have known whom she calls, send messages to... And if truly she has no sister and I am being only delusional because I wished she had a relation with Euphrano.
Walking next to me, it was obvious he had something to say considering his intent gaze. Sighing "What if she does die Your Majesty?" Badurad questions. He looked worried as he stared intently at the bottle I had in my grip
"She wouldn't if she tells me the truth" even if her sibling truly is a brother, I am certain she knows something... And I want to know what that is! How did she know of Euphrano and me? What made her so confident to walk into my home?!
"But still..." He looked frustrated. He knew I had a point and my plan could work but he was worried she might die too. It made me wonder just how much does he like her.
"If you cared so much about her, then you should be in there letting her know why she should be talking or maybe she shouldn't" I shrugged moving away. She wouldn't let herself die for something like this! The only reason why she will stay silent is if I was wrong. If the drug doesn't mean too much to her and she had lied! Or maybe if she had another hidden somewhere!
Five days... It has been five days since I took her drug from her, and three days since we had last seen or heard from her. Badurad had left her alone to do some work when we discovered her missing.
Her scent was gone... We had no way to track her.
"I checked every security footage but none caught her leaving. They wouldn't have dared come into my home to take her right?" Badurad has been out of his mind since she left. He became agitated and snapped at everyone
"She might have been indeed kidnapped but I am certain it isn't those you are suspecting" Badurad glared at Hroaldr. Badurad suspects were the Ministers, he thought they might have discovered her presence and came to finish the task they failed to accomplish.
"Who else if not them?" His gaze rested on me and I chuckled at the immense trust. Why would I steal her away?!
Hroaldr looked at us both amused, he is not even hiding the fact that this is fun for him "She is a cursed. And if those who took her wish her harm, then I can only think of the witches or faes since they could clear out her scent. There is nothing to prove she ever stayed with you. Nothing man" Hroaldr explained
Hroaldr's guess could be right but only witches or faes on a suicide mission will want to invade a vampire's home. I can only think of two races who would do this, the Weres and the cursed ones.
"Or her family came for her. She might have been too weak and maybe possibly die. I doubt the witches or faes will go through such length of getting rid of her scents" or it wasn't hers that needed getting rid of but her saviors!
"We wouldn't have had to go through this if only you had believed her! She told you she had no sister, but because you wanted a certain response...she almost died. Who knows, she might be dead right now. You know what Tristan, you called wrong this time" Badurad walked out after his piece.
Did I though?
Why then do I have this strong conviction that I had been right?
"That is new" Hraoldr said chuckling "I have never seen him react that way over a girl. It makes me wonder how beautiful she looks" me too. Not once have I seen Badurad so upset about something...
"She is pretty. Very" I answered as my mind went far into the past.
