His Possession

His thoughts

MILES'S POV

--

After demanding that Elaine take Peyton back down to her room , I headed outside for some much needed fresh air , the only thing I hate about being a vampire is that I am housebound when the sun is out .

I sit down on the stone of the pond wall and light a cigarette . I take a long pull , the end of the cigarette lighting up . I slightly hollow my cheeks , inhaling the smoke before I blow it out into the air .My eyes fix on the water , where the moonlight reflected off . The water had a shimmer of the stars in them , a glowing light at the bottom which gave the water an affect like the sea of stars . It's my favorite place to sit at , to think .

All I could think of was Peyton's wavy dark hair and ocean blue eyes that made me drown in them . Since yelling at her and slapping her earlier , there's a heavy weight pushing down on my chest , it’s like a bulldozer crashing into me repeatedly every time I replay the memory in my head .

I don’t know what this feeling is called , but it is very unsettling .

“Sir .” Elaine bowed before me , her blonde hair tightly tied in a ponytail that hung down her back . “Elaine .” I nod , taking another pull from the cigarette . It’s a bad habit , but it helps me think clearer .

“The phone in the office rang and when I picked it up to take a message , the person hissed at me and hung up .” She explains it as if she is so confused . “It might have been another vampire .” I shrug it off , other vampires have come to fight me a lot , but none have succeeded . I am not afraid of a bark because my bite is lethal .

“Aren’t you alarmed ?” She asks , her voice filled with concern . “Why should I be ?” I raise an eyebrow at her . “Someone is threatening you , sir .” She frowns . “And I am the threat .” I smile before crushing the burning ash onto the stone before shoving the nipped cigarette into the metal box once more . “Go to bed Elaine , I promise we are safe .” I reassure her just to ease her mind , but I could feel it in my toes , something did not feel completely right .

I head straight for the office and I press my voicemail button . “You have no voicemails .” The lady’s voice booms from the speakers and I bite down on my teeth . I had the submerged urge to know who called , to know who hissed and claimed that there would be war . There’s only a hand full of people who are old enough to know what it means and there’s only a hand full of people who would want me dead , the high power vampires that made laws , laws to keep us safe and laws to keep us hidden .

And I have broken so many of them .

I walk out of the office and head down the hallway , down the stairs and I scan my hand at the door . It unlocks and I push it open before walking inside . The light always stays on , making the interior look pure white , like the girls I have chosen . They’re all good girls because bad tempered girls just cause trouble . I walk over to Peyton’s door , scanning my hand and it unlocks . I push the handle down and open the door . I catch a glimpse of her stomach as she hurriedly pulls her shirt down . “Knock much .” She grits out , rolling her eyes before she climbs onto the bed . She’s wearing a grey silk pajama set and my eyes trail over her long tanned legs .

“It’s my house , I don’t need to .” I try to keep a straight face .

“Well this is my room . Isn’t it ? I live here now .” She rolls her blue eyes and I can’t help but grin . “Correct .” I bite my tongue before I say anything else .

“Then you can knock .” She c***s her head at me , her eyes narrowing into slits as she stares at me , her eyes swirling with judgement .

“I can , but what would be the fun in that ?” The grin fully takes over my face as she fiddles with the hem of her shirt and I can’t stop myself from thinking of her soft looking skin . “Privacy .” She deadpans and my grin falters .

I did not expect that .

“Well good luck with your privacy .” I nod . We blankly stare at each other and I could feel my nerves eating at one another . They were at war , just like my mind . The one half of my brain is screaming to stay , but the other side is screaming at me to leave , to give her the privacy she is asking for and I simply stand indecisive , staring at the one girl that makes my heart feel like it’s beating for once .

“Well if you get out so that I can sleep , I will have luck on it .” She raises her full eyebrows at me , her blue eyes look so inviting , as if I could swim in her orbs .

“You don’t look tired .” I shrug her excuse off .

“Can you see how I feel ?” She asks sarcastically . “What if I can ?” I raise a brow at her and her eyes narrow into slits , her long lashes making her eyes seem darker , almost like mine when I lose control .

“You can’t .” She grits out , her head slightly shaking . “Keep on thinking that .” I shrug . My legs automatically stride over to the bed and her back straightens against the wall , almost as if she wants to bury herself in it . “Please just leave me alone .” Her throat tightens , the veins in her neck slightly popping out and her hand rests over her chest , rubbing it . “I still want to talk .” I insist and her eyes flutter shut , the thought of me annoying her brings joy to my heart .

She is mine now .

“About what exactly ?” She croaks out , looking uneasy . “About you of course .” I shrug , what else would we talk about ?

Her blue orbs stare up at me in confusion . “I don’t think someone who researched me needs me to talk about myself more .” She shrugs as her other hand wraps around her ankle .

“Well I don’t know everything .” And I want to know more , my mind is itching to know more about her .

“What do you know ?” She asks , her voice cocky .

“Enough to have you here .” I wanted to say enough to have her kidnapped , but that sounds excessive .

I’d say that this is a much better life than she use to have .

“Well like me , my life is nothing . Nothing to know except my name and clothing size .” She belittles herself and it irks me in the wrong way . I lean down , resting my hands on the mattress in front of her . “You will never speak like that again , do you hear me ?” I grit out , I could feel my eyes darkening unnaturally , but I could not make myself look away from her wide blue orbs that is staring at me in fear and slight curiosity .

She nods and I had the biggest urge to pick her up and slam her into the wall , to rip those soft silky material off her body and expose her to my eyes , but I knew that she’d change if I did that and I like how she is with me , not petrified , but cautious .

“Good .” I straighten my back , needing to put distance between my teeth and her neck before I sink into her veins to feed on her .

I haven’t fed on a person in years and I am not going to cave in now , I am doing so well . I am in control and I don’t want to mess it up just because I get lost in her ocean eyes .

She says nothing , she only stares at me .

“Good night Peyton .” I mutter before turning my back to her and I leave .

She does not want to talk to me and I guess I can’t blame her . I kidnapped her , took her without consent and shoved her into a small room , but I don’t understand the problem , she had nowhere else to go and when I read about her and heard she was going to have to leave that awful place , that they are kicking her out because she turns eighteen , I took pity and all I get in return for giving her a place to stay , is a cold shoulder .
