Can a Part human, part vampire find love or drown in lust?

New powers

Once everyone was in and the door was closed everything went profoundly serious. I did not understand what was going on again. I seem to be constantly in the dark and not knowing what is going on. Tamara sat in her chair behind her desk and there was only on other chair which the boys left for me and they took up security like positions against the wall. I looked at Tamara expectantly as it seemed that is where I was supposed to look. As I looked at her, I noticed little things like the way her skin seemed so tight over her knuckles and how there now seemed to be deep frown lines on her beautiful face. I instantly swallowed, something was very wrong. I opened my mouth to ask her what was wrong but before I could get a word out, she held up her hand and shook her head. I instantly sat up and closed my mouth. Tamara looks down and sighs, a deep; heavy sigh that seems to contain every worry in existence, so I wait. She looks back at me and I can feel I am starting to shake. What is she about to say? Why is it such a worry for her? Can I help relieve some of her tension? So many questions fly through my head, but she waits, and then my mind is quiet as I watch her eyes that seem to be looking straight into my soul. And then she gives me a half smile and I frown at her. That sensation is one I have felt before. But before I can ask she says “I’m sorry, I really hate doing that especially to you but your head fills with so many tangents that I know you won’t listen to what I have to say until there is nothing left to try and answer. It is like a calming spell for your mind. Yes, before you get any ideas, I can read your mind. Everyone in this room can.” I hear the boys snickering behind me and I shoot each of them a well-deserved glare and then then are back to being flies on the wall. Tamara giggles a little “please don’t be too mad at them I told them not to tell you. There is one other perk to having vampire skills, that is being able to mind-link those in our coven. However, it will work a little differently for you as you are still alive. I want you to close your eyes and just relax for a moment” I do as she tells me trying my best not to think any dirty thoughts or anything really just relax.

“ok I want you to picture the face of one person in this room and focus on them” she says in a soft flowing voice. I decide to think of Cameron’s face as I feel like I haven’t had much time with him while I am thinking of his face I feel what I can only describe as a tickle on my mind so I focus on the tickle and then I hear “hey, I’m honoured you thought of me first” echoing in my mind. My eyes fly open and I turn to face Cameron who is grinning widely at me then bows and goes back to looking like a statue in the corner I turn back to Tamara who seems to be enjoying this more than anyone else as she sits there at her desk giggling. “ok Jade, that is one. Now you need to do that with everyone in this room. It is particularly important that we get this ‘set-up’ for lack of a better term.” I smile widely at her and sit back down closing my eyes and focusing on the next face. I have already decided the order while I was celebrating the first link. Next is Dominic, as I picture is smiling face I feel the tickle again and then “you are catching on to this quickly my jewel” I open my eyes and look at Dom smiling he smiles back and is back to being a statue. Next is Blair, as I picture my sweet Blair’s face and his cheeky grin I barely feel the tickle this time but instead of words I see an image flash in my mind of me the first day I was here at the castle, I look so different to how I see myself and in this image I seem gorgeous “that is my first vision of you and how I see you every single day” I open my eyes and I don’t need to turn around to see him because Blair is there and wipes away a single tear from my cheek that I didn’t even know had fallen, he kisses my cheek and returns to his position becoming a statue again.

Lastly, I smile as I am looking at Tamara as I feel that I can link with her without closing my eyes. I look into Tamara’s eyes and picture the first moment I saw her in her beautiful ball gown and how she looked like she was glowing and then I imagined everything we did the first night and the next night. I thought maybe I could try what Blair did for me and I pushed my thoughts towards her and her eyes grow wider as I show her how she looks to me and show her how she makes me feel when we are together. I giggle as I watch her face flush bright red and she smiles her brilliant smile at me. I hear a throat clear in the room and I look around to see all the boys faces bright red, at which moment Tamara starts Laughing out loud holding her stomach in which case it is my turn to go bright red. After a little while Tamara pulls herself together wiping tears from her eyes. “well now that we have that sorted *snickers and clears her throat* I guess they know what actually happened later” I stare at her mouth wide and she starts laughing all over again. The boys have a little chuckle then too and then they all pull themselves back together and the mood is serious again. “the reason we needed to get that in place is because of Ruth” when I heard that name my blood ran cold and I could hear the boys growling and hissing at the name, “as of the bus incident she has declared war on those of us who want to live peacefully with the humans and I fear she will come after you. Now that you are linked with those of us in this room you can call for help if you get in any sort of trouble but I also won’t be allowing you to leave the castle without at least one of us with you at all times. Is that understood?”

“yes, your majesty” is all I could answer as my mind started running wild again. But before that could happen it was stopped. I looked at Tamara squinting my eyes. “stop doing that to me!” I stood up looking at the ground, I started pacing I looked up and saw the concerned looks everyone was giving me, and I froze. I turned to look at Tamara and she was frowning at me like I was 3 and having a tantrum. I immediately sat and looked at my hands. Tamara stood up and put her hands on either side of her and leant on the desk and looked down at me. “Are you done now?” I kept looking down and just nodded “good. Do you want to know why you are so important and why you need one of us with you at all times? And I mean AT ALL TIMES.”

Again, I just nod “right, you are so important in all this because you mean so much to everyone in this room. You Always need 1 of us with you because we are already dead so cannot die again. It just causes a little pain for a while and can come back after a set period of time, depending on the injury. But you are still alive and that is one of the main reasons you are who you are, and we do not want you to die just yet. We will each take turns with sleeping and showering.” As soon as she said that I looked up at her, my mouth hanging open as she gave me a sly smirk. “I will leave you all to sort that out amongst yourselves.” And with that Tamara left the room. I sat there gaping as all the boys moved forward Cameron chuckles and says “I’m all good with the bed and showering I think I will leave that to you 3, just let me know if you want to head out on the town, I’ll ” and the he leave the room as well. I am left looking between Dominic and Blair both are smiling at me like I am going to be eaten which at this point would not surprise me.
