Allison's pov:
"Prince Stefan?" I was confused and my head felt like it was splitting open. I needed to figure out what was going on, but the smirk Prince Stefan was currently giving me, was making me uncomfortable. "What's going on? What do you mean were in Switzerland? Where's the King?" A million questions were spitting out of my mouth rapidly. "My brother is currently looking for you my dear. You see right about now he is going out of his mind, since he can't find any of us." Any of us? Who else is here? Did he kidnap me? So many questions were running through my mind. At that moment I noticed Rachel sitting in a chair looking guilty. Then I remembered that morning.
-Flashback-
I woke up that morning feeling excitement running through my veins. I was excited to see the King, although I knew I should hate him. He was a vampire and I hated vampires, but he was different and I didn't understand why. He was so caring around me and when he kissed me last night I felt tingles on my cheek, right where he had his lips. I was a little nervous to see him though, would he regret kissing me? I was getting dressed and brushing my hair when there was a knock on the door. Thinking it was King Nicholai, I jumped and ran to the door. But once I opened it, it was Rachel looking sad and guilty. But why? She then put a cloth over my face and pushed me further into the room and shut the door behind her. I was slowly starting to slip into unconsciousness. The last thing I remembered was Rachel apologizing to me.
-End Flashback-
"You, you did this to me" I said, looking right at Rachel. She seemed to wince at my tone and was opening her mouth to say something when the Prince interrupted her. "Now Allison, Rachel was only doing what I commanded of her. Just a small part of my plan." "But why?" I questioned him. I just didn't understand what he could gain by kidnapping me. I was just a slave. A pet. "Well, that's a long story. What I will tell you is that you are my brother's mate." Wait, what? His mate, he must be joking. I started to laugh at him. He obviously didn't think it was very funny, as his face grew hard. "I am not his mate. I can't be. I am only a human and humans don't mate with vampires." Clearly he was mistaken, right? "No, Allison you are his mate and you are half vampire." This man must be full of jokes tonight. I am the King's mate and I am half vampire? But I would of known if I was half vampire, can they even produce with a human? I decided to voice my thoughts. "How? Vampires can't produce with humans. You must be wrong. This doesn't make any sense." Ah, but I am not wrong. He was planning on visiting your mother and former master, correct?" He asked me and I nodded my head. "He was going there to question them." He said to me. "Oh my God." I whispered to myself. With all this new information and my head killing me, it was too much and I fainted.
When I woke up, it was to a cold rag on my head and Rachel sitting in a chair beside the bed. "Why are you helping him? I thought you was my friend?" I asked her. My question seemed to startle her and she looked at me with big pleading eyes. "I am so sorry, he made me do it. You are my friend and I never meant to hurt you. I have to obey him always." She seemed sincere, but I just couldn't trust her. Who knows what else he could command her to do to me. "I can see that you don't want to help him, but I can't trust you. As long as you have to obey him, you are my enemy." She seemed upset with what I had just said and started crying, "Was your friendship with me all a lie as well?" "No! I mean, yes. But I truly wanted to be your friend and I am, I mean I hope I still am. But he made me start talking to you to earn your trust." "Get out." I didn't want her near me. "But, I..." "I said get out!" She hung her head and left silently out of the room. I shouldn't of been so hard on her, but it was all a lie. He commanded her to be my friend. I confided in her and she let me down.
As I laid there alone with my thoughts, I thought about King Nicholai and how he must be worrying so much about me. I kind of missed him, which was a new development. I have never really cared for anybody, but my mom. Well, Rachel as well, but she couldn't be trusted. I hated vampires my whole life, but the King made me feel things for him, that I never thought I would feel for a vampire. Perhaps, he was my mate. It kind of made sense now that I thought about it. How I craved his touch these last couple weeks, how I felt tingles where he had kissed my cheek and how he seemed to become sick when we were parted. Oh God, what if he doesn't find me and he becomes sick again? Maybe that's part of Prince Stefan's plan, to separate us. I hope he finds me soon. I can't lose him, just when I started caring for him. My thoughts were interrupted when Prince Stefan entered the room. "It seems we have a problem. My spy at the castle has informed me that my brother knows where we are." I felt relieved and warmth spread throughout my body. He is coming to save me. "I guess you don't get everything you want." I smirked at him. "No, it just means I have to finish this a different way." He said to me with a sadistic grin on his face. What does that mean? Is he going to kill me? At that moment I was lifted into the air and thrown against a wall. "You see human, my brother may have control over the elements, but I have my own powers." And with a flick of his wrist I was thrown into another wall. I landed hard on my arm and I could tell it was broken. This is not good.
He kept throwing me with little flicks of his wrists and I was starting to see black spots in my vision. But, Rachel came into the room and stood in front of me like a shield. "I will not let you hurt her anymore, Prince Stefan." He laughed at her and with a flick she was thrown away from me. He walked up to me then and sneered at me bending to my height. "Your precious King will be here shortly, but unfortunately for him, it will be too late. Your death will kill him and I will become the new King." With that he got up and with cold eyes he lifted his hand and I was lifted off the ground and up to the ceiling. He got distracted by Rachel running towards him and he pushed her away with his free hand and she fell hard into a bookcase. He then smirked at me and I fell to the floor. I was bleeding and broken, barely breathing when I saw Prince Stefan speed out of the room. I was starting to feel cold and my eyes were getting heavy, I knew that I was dying and King Nicholai would get here too late and Prince Stefan's plan would work and as my eyes finally shut I said.
"I love you, Nicholai."
