Her Guardian

Chapter 19

Daniel

I was hesitant to open the door in which they were in. They were all bloodthirsty newborn vampires now who could kill Myra easily.

They were the vampires who had only venom inside them. They were way stronger than the ones Myra had come across.

" Come on, open it Daniel! " She urged.

I looked at her, her eyes showed anticipation and happiness.

No fear.

Silly, silly, Myra!

I sighed and turned the key. What was worse was that Myra didn't even let me take them out for a hunt, the girl had no patience.

So now inside were bloodthirsty, newborn vampires who had not gone for their first hunt.

Great.

The door clicked, and I pushed it open.

I crouched in front of Myra.

The whole group was looking at us, they all were vampires now and would've known by our conversation that we were about to open the door.

Myra looked at them hopefully.

Even though I knew I had no chance against the hundreds of them, I crouched, ready for defence.

The group continued staring, their red eyes blazing.

Myra broke the silence, " Guys?"

To my surprise, Myra ran to them, her black cloak flying behind her. I could've caught her easily, but I sat there like an idiot.

She ran and hugged the female guards in the front row. The guards stiffened, and then their expressions softened. All of them, including Mary, the others and my guards hugged her back.

I was baffled, there were more than a hundred newborn vampires in there but none of them tried to kill her.

To top it all she had the most delicious smelling blood in the world.

Guess this was the power of love.

*********************

I went with the newborns to hunt outside Transylvania.

The other places too had vampires dominating them, but they let the criminals free and took the innocent ones as pets.

Don't ask me what kind of justice that was. Guess it was Carlos's doing.

So we hunted the free roaming criminals who had lavish houses to live in. I taught the newborns how to drink without killing them, and they did remarkably well.

Though I did not get enough blood, I made sure the newborns did.

We went back to Transylvania, after stealing some food for Myra.

Upon reaching the fort, we were all shocked to find one of the Lord's guards lying dead under a tree. All of us started panicking as we searched for Myra.

" Myra! " I called out, and I found her at the top of the fort, bandaging her arm.

" Myra, what happened? " I asked running to her and stroking her head.

She smiled," One of the guards found us Daniel and he came here, I killed him, but hurt myself in the fight." She said, trying to sound calm as if nothing had happened.

I took a look at the wound, it was pretty deep, but not deep enough for stitches.

My eyes flashed red at the smell of her blood.
Goodness, her blood smelled so sweet. My throat burned of thirst.

I tried to control myself, I could hurt her. I closed my eyes and buried my head in my hands. I had to drink fast before I snapped. I was ashamed of myself, why did I think I could manage without enough blood?

Myra stroked my cheek, unaware of the action, "You didn't drink enough?" She asked calmly.

I shook my head, trying to ease away my thirst. I got up, I would try drinking from some animal now.

She caught my wrist " Where are you going?"  She asked.

I looked at her, my eyes back to black, " I guess I'll have to hunt an animal." I said.

She shook her head " No Daniel, don't do that! Take blood from me, but don't hurt any animal."

Was she crazy? I shook my head " No Myra, I won't drink from you."

Myra stood there, arms crossed.

" Listen Myra, you aren't my blood bag! " I said.

She's rolled her eyes," Yes I am, I'm your pet Daniel, you have to drink from me! " she whispered.

I looked into her eyes," You aren't my pet anymore, you're free! We are going to fight the Lord to take down the pet system! "

No, she wasn't my pet, she was something more to me...... I added to myself.

I saw the glint of happiness in her eyes which she hid quickly.

She said " Daniel, why would you hurt a poor animal? You're thirsty and I know it burns your throat, please drink from me. "

I gave in with a sigh. The girl was crazy but great in arguing.

I pulled her onto my lap and was amused when I heard her heart flutter at that.

I brushed away her red hair from her neck and settled on a place below her earlobe. This was the place where it would hurt the least.

I pierced my fangs into her neck, she winced. I drank her blood in slow gulps, trying not to hurt her too much. My eyes flashed red again at the taste of it. The hot liquid gushed down my throat, soothing the terrible burn.

The copper taste of her blood was sweeter than all of the others. God, she tasted amazing!

I let go of her after some time, panicking after she passed out due to blood loss. Tiny as she was, her body contained little amount of blood.

I lifted her unconscious body and made my way to the makeshift bed downstairs which I had made for Myra.
Vampires don't sleep, beds in the castle were kept literally to sit, to lie down and read or to "have fun".

I looked at her. She looked so pretty. It was no secret we loved each other immensely , we both knew it, but didn't tell it out loud.

Also, when I saw her for the first time, when I caught her scent, I  knew that she was my mate. Mates were something we vampires existed for. Mates were written for us from heaven. They would never stop loving each other and would be irresistibly drawn towards each other since the very first sight.

But I was not going to tell it to her until the right time came.

I whispered a Thank you to Myra, not expecting her to hear it..

To my surprise, she smiled.

****************

After I placed her on the bed, I sat beside her, catching her hand.

I heard someone whisper from a mile away.

" Mary is missing! "
