Queen of The Damned

Chapter Eleven

(Matt’s POV)

“I love you.” She stared in my eyes and said those magical three words. Did she mean too or was it just because I saved her?

“Blue...you don’t love me.”

She gave me a hurt look and shoved me off of her “Yes I do Matt.”

“No, you love what I did. I saved your life and that’s why you love me.” I hurt my own damn feelings just saying it.

Blue let out a sigh and stood up off the bed. “Are you always going to tell me what to do or how to feel? Because I know how I feel, I know what I want and I don’t need you to tell me I’m wrong.”

“Blue listen...”

“No Matt you listen if I’m going to be Luna and your mate you need to start treating me with some respect.” The corners of her mouth raised into a smirk. Did I just hear her right? She’s staying?!

“Blue, a-are you being serious?” I didn’t want to get my hopes up just yet in case she was delirious from the fight earlier.

“Matt I know you think I love you just because you saved me and honestly yes, I do but you have given me so many other reasons too.” She walked over to me and crouched down placing her hand on my leg. “I want to help the pack. I will stay but they have to welcome me and accept me into the pack as well. I want to be the Luna they deserve.”

“You are their Luna Blue.” I pulled her up into a hug “they will accept you.”

“You can’t force them to like me, you also have to tell them I’m human. I don’t want any secrets kept from the pack, deal?” She said while returning my embrace. I gave a sigh unsure how the pack will react to a human Luna. For their sake they better get over it.

“Deal princess, but you have to stop the....cutting thing. I’m here to protect you I don’t know how to protect you from yourself.”

She chuckled at my words which confused the hell out of me. “Deal.” She said gently nudging my chin with her fist. “And one more thing you can’t mark me.”

“What?” I asked surprised, marking completes the bond it makes her officially in the pack. “I have to mark you. You can’t be Luna without it.”

“What I mean is you can’t mark me YET. I want to earn the title in everyone’s eyes before it’s official.”

“Your afraid to be marked aren’t you.” I asked with a grin.

“Well if the roll was reversed wouldn’t you be? I’m human I don’t have supernatural healing abilities.” She playfully hit my harm. “Besides what if I bleed to death, or if it gets infected?”

“Calm down, I won’t let that happen.”

“Oh yeah, how?”

“I’ll make sure it’s licked clean everyday.” I said sticking my tongue out and wiggling it.

“You’re so gross!” She said laughing. It’s so nice to see her finally relaxing in my presence. It feels so long ago since I seen her smile last. “Okay Mr. Alpha i have a very serious question for you.”

“Ask me anything princess.”

“What’s for breakfast?”

I gave her a confused look. “That’s your very serious question?”

“It’s extremely important.” The look on her face tells me she is being dead serious. This tiny human consumed boxes after boxes of pizza by herself in one night and she could still be mistaken as a walking corpse.

“Hey Blue, can I ask you something? If you don’t want to answer I’ll understand.”

“What is it?”

“Well....yesterday you told Casey you have never ate pizza before and when you finally got the chance to you acted like I was gunna take it from you. It could have just been my imagination but you seem genuinely scared when you have food. Wh-...”

She cut me off before I could finish asking “Why am I like this?” She sighed looking down at her hands before continuing. “Matt there’s something’s about me you just don’t want to know. Things that should be kept to myself.”

“I want to know everything about you. I’m not keeping secrets from you so I hope you will do the same.” I lifted her chin with my finger “you can trust me.”

She let out a big sigh and spoke softly “As you know I grew up in the foster system. It wasn’t an easy life, for the first five years everyone just called me ‘the orphan’ that’s why I named myself Blue.”

“Why did you pick that name?”

“Well...because....” she looked pained remembering the reason. “the first foster home I was in they locked me in a freezer for a couple hours.” She looked down at her lap "That's when I knew my life wasn't normal. At first I didn't tell anyone the name I just stayed the orphan for a few more months, until I went to a new foster. Where I was duck taped to a chair in the kitchen. They would keep food out of my reach and fed me when they wanted to. My life was sad and depressing so I decided Blue was the perfect fit." I couldn't help but feel sorry for her, at such a young age she has already been through more then most people could even imagine. "Matt don't give me that look."

"What look?"

"The 'oh you poor thing' look." she said irritated. "I don't need anyone to pity me, especially you."

"Blue I wasn't trying to pity you, it's just hard to hear. You were so young and you had to go through so much." I wasn't sure if I was trying to comfort her or myself.

"And that's why I'm like this today." She said shrugging her shoulders. "Okay no more talk I'm starving" she giggled. How could she still be this happy after everything. How could she still have faith in humanity? She grabbed my hand and pulled me up...Well I stood up. She skipped to the door with my hand still in hers leading me down the hall and to the kitchen. She released my hand and hopped up on the counter.

"Alright princess what would you like to eat?" I asked hoping what ever it was would be in the kitchen.

"I don't know, What do you usually eat on a daily basis?"

I was a little taken back from her question. I don't usually eat at home, we go to the food court at the mall to eat. If we make food at home its like being surrounded by vaulters and it gets pretty annoying after a while. Then I got the best idea! "Hey would you rather go out to eat?"

"You mean like a date?" she asked with her rosy red cheeks. Goddess she was so adorable.

"Sure like a date.I'll take you to the best restaurant in town."

"Awesome!" she hopped down from the counter. "let me go get dressed then we can go."

"Casey's room is four doors down from mine on the right." I said chuckling. If I just sent her without telling her she would have been lost for hours. She smiled at me and skipped out of the kitchen giggling to herself.

(Blue's POV)

I went skipping to Casey's room to borrow some of her clothes, mostly because mine are at Anna's house and I'm not prepared to see her.I knocked on Casey's door "Hey Cas?" then I waited a few seconds and knocked again "Casey?"

"She's not in there." a familiar voice said behind me

"Shea?" I turned around to see my assumption was correct. "How are you?"

"Oh just peachy." she said with sarcasm. "I guess being kicked out of the pack because of a human isn't all bad." I gave her a curious look. "Well you see Blue that means I'm a rogue now and I don't have to listen to any one." She lunged at me and before I could react her hand was around my throat. I'm on the floor with a psychopath on top of me, struggling for air. I kicked my legs in the struggle and clawed at her face but nothing was getting her off of me. She reached into her back pocket while laughing and pulled out a kn.ife. "If it's your pretty little face he likes so much lets make sure it's not so pretty." she swung the blade, connecting the sharp blade with my cheek. "Ops, Blue you must be more careful." She said still laughing. "We wouldn't want Matt thinking you're still cutting" She swung the kn.ife again but I put my arm up in instinct, I felt a burning sensation on my wrist. I tried to scream out for Matt but my words are whispers and I can feel myself beginning to black out. This crazy woman is going to kill me, there's nothing I can do to stop her. As my vision starts to fade I see Shea smiling down with her kn.ife held high. She looked over her shoulder and before I knew it was was no longer on top of me. I took a deep gasp of air in and rolled to my side. I looked down at my arm, my vision still blurred but I could see the red liquid pouring out of my body I gave one last attempt "Matt!" It wasn't nearly as loud as I needed it to be.

"Matt!" a yell came from beside me. Who was it? Shea? Was she still taunting me? "Matt!" No that's a mans voice, but who? I could hear foot steps getting closer, my vision is gone and my hearing is close behind.

"Bl-...." Was someone saying my name? I'm to tired to answer. I could feel my body being lifted up but how? I head feels so heavy. I tried to open my eyes but I couldn't.

"M-Matt...It- it wasn't....me"
