Revelations

Ch 10 Betrayal.

"Joe It's all my fault, I should never have left him, I should have left with him instead of being so pathetic, damn what's happening to me, since I've got back from New York I've changed, I don't know why!"

"Gracie it's not your fault babe,  alot of stuff happened, to be honest, I think you are coping really well give yourself credit."

I laughed, "Yeah, well done Gracie, you just got your soul mate put in the hospital, why to cause you're a drama queen,"

Joe laughed, "Leighton will be fine, he just took it upon his self to take matters into his own hands bringing a threat to someone who we know little about, in a public place, I might add, so who is the one at fault here, why did you go there anyway?"

The memories of today were raw, to say the least, the memories of the night I spent with Taylor then the moment, Simone made him forget his real love for me, but why did it hurt this much, I told her too didn't I.

Damn what's going on with me, did I also have feelings for him without realizing no I couldn't have, could I.

"After everything that's happened, I just needed a drink It's as simple as that, no particular reason, just everything," she nodded in response.

"We're here, Gracie he will be fine, trust me, I know my cousin."

Joe was in fact so far off it was unreal, I walked in sucking in a breath falling to my knees I screamed "Nooooooo!" Ethan was by my side in seconds.

"Gracie, It's ok, he will be ok, it just looks bad now, he has poison in him at the moment, that's why he isn't healing."

I looked straight at him, the machines around me were buzzing, the lights were flickering, "Who did this to him or what did this to him?" two of the lights above me blew, my hair was blowing in what seemed to be an invisible breeze.

I felt a hand on my shoulder, it was Pierre, "A demon did this to him Gracie, a very powerful one an elder demon to be precise."

I got up glaring at Pierre, "Your kind is capable of that," I pointed at Leighton.

He nodded in a disgusted fashion.

"My kind can do worse, I'm surprised they left him alive, there must be a reason they must want something?" I shook my head remembering something Leighton said before I left.

"Yeah, they do, they want me, Leighton said that something he said was off," Ethan mumbled under his breath that sounded like "No wonder he called us all," I nodded at him, "He said the bartender said I was the one, whatever that means."

Pierre looked confused, "That doesn't make sense, demons are not sociable creatures, they certainly don't need vampires, don't take offence by that, but they normally keep their selves to themselves, this makes no sense, unless" he shook the thought off, "What were you going to say?" He stared at me.

"Nothing it's not that, it can't be" all of a sudden Leighton spluttered crying out in pain, I ran to his side.

"Leighton I'm here baby, I'm right here," he coughed, blood spluttered out, I wiped it, "Gracie, thank god you left, I'm so glad you're safe," I looked at Pierre, his expression changing to what I could only gather as fear, "Your kind is going to pay, I hope you have no empathy for them?" He looked serious when he next spoke, "I told you to trust me, no I don't, I hate them for reasons of my own" he whispered in Joe's ear she smiled at him with such love I knew I could trust him with my soul.

"Babe don't be mad at Pierre, It's not his fault, It's no one's, Joe tugged on my arm, "Gracie give Leighton your blood," I looked at her confused "What the hell you heard Ethan, he's got demon blood in him, he is not healing," she shook her head, "Just do it."
I touched Leighton's arm bringing my lips to his ear, "Drink my blood baby," nicking the side of my neck with my nail I turned my head to the side, my neck inches away from his lips.

Seconds later I felt the sting as he began sucking on the open wound, followed by the delicious feeling of being one with my soul mate, his voice was in my head, "I love you so much Gracie, It's all my fault, I feel so protective over you, I'm so sorry I let you down, I just love you unconditionally," I shushed him.

"It's ok just feed, take all you need," he hungrily drank I could feel the onset of weakness but I was comforted by his closeness.

All of a sudden Leighton flipped back on the bed fitting, white foam coming out of his mouth "Leighton! No Leighton! Please, baby, I can't lose you! Nooooo," Pierre held my shoulder. "Wait for it Gracie trust me, just watch," who was he to tell me to trust him, look what his kind did to my Leighton, but just as I was about to dispute what he was saying Ethan gasped.

I looked at him, the utter shock was displayed all over his face as he was looking at Leighton, I looked back at him.

The fitting had stopped, he was completely still, pus was being flushed out through wounds that covered his body, they were slowly closing before my own eyes, his colour had gone from a yellowish tinge, it was now returning to Its original pale complexion.

I was in shock, the wounds were almost healed when Leighton's eyes flew open.

"Baby! You ok?" He nodded, "What happened?" I wasn't sure, I looked at Pierre he was smiling. "The good news is the elders have found their ultimate peacekeeper, also their healer" he seemed rather pleased with this but sad at the same time, Leighton nodded, "What else Pierre?" Leighton's eyes were revelling with his words, Pierre continued, "I knew it, that was why I wasn't quite sure of what to say, I suppose I needed the proof, now I know I'm positive why they want you."

I was still confused, getting pissed off again, which seemed to be a reguar trait right now.
"If you've finished chatting in riddles, would you like to tell me what the hell you mean?" He looked a little weary, Leighton pulled me in close to him,"Sorry Gracie, what I'm trying to say is, you are the one! Every 100 years a very special vampire comes along, who is more powerful than other vampires including the elders, they have the ability to heal the royal vampires, their blood is so potent with more blood work than the average vampire, but also comes the powers that could kill a vampire with just a look."

He shook his head, "Now comes the bad news, what I'm trying to say is you can also heal demons, well any supernatural creature, when they figure this out, well not figured it out, they will have smelt it on you! Even I can smell how special you are, they will want you for themselves."

I shivered, Leighton pulled me closer, everyone around me was in shock, I was in pieces, why me for god sake, "What now? What do I do?" Joe hugged me.
"Nothing! You do nothing, you let us take care of it, I know you don't like being in the limelight but you have become priceless to us, It's our place to protect you now!" No way that's not going to happen, I can protect myself.

"That's the way it is Gracie, but more importantly I will not let you get hurt, if I lose you, I lose myself," I felt a little bit more at ease, but my insides were on fire.

I was raging, but for tonight I won't say anything else.

Ethan was the one who broke the silence, "You never faze to amaze me, Gracie, we are forever indebted to you for saving my son, but now for real talk," Ethan turned to Pierre.
"Do you think you could talk to your father about getting the head of your society to meet with my wife and the other elder's, I will not have Gracie put at any danger we need to sort this out like adults, not like animals," Pierre nodded.

"I totally agree, yes my father will be able to sort that out, the head is my uncle." Woah I was shocked, he was the nephew of the leader of the community of demons, surely this was going to go smoothly.

I did trust Pierre, but could I also trust another, especially since they wanted me, if my blood was this potent would his uncle want me too.

I was a little unsure where I stood with this,"It's ok baby, mum won't let that happen, you need to trust her, I won't let nothing happen to you either, nor will anyone else, if they don't negotiate properly then we will go to war, he could be done for harming a royal but all I really want to do is make sure no harm comes to you."

My eyes almost popped out my head, what was he saying war! What war! Oh no please god no.
