Lust Of A Vampire (Book 1)

Chapter 18

It's been a quiet few months since I was captured by Alexander, Mike and I have grown closer and Ashley loves making fun of us. Bram was quirky as always. We had an extended weekend and I practically ran out of the school on Friday.

"Whoah, slow down there Lina." Mike laughed wrapping an arm around my waist and pulling me into a swift kiss.

"Stop sucking face and drive me home Mikey boy." Ashley said leaning against the car. Mike pulled away and quickley got into the car. I laughed and followed suit getting into the backseat with Ashley. "Mush." Ash said, hitting the back of Mike's head. He mumbled somerhing under his breath but continued to pull out of the parking lot.

"Hey Ash you and Bram have been getting quite... friendly." I nuged her arm with mine. She blushed and turned away.

"Shut up Lina, we're just friends."

"Oh c'mon, I know you like him. He's a nice guy, pretty cute too."

"Um, ehem, I'm right here." Mike cut in from the front seat.

"Oh shut it, Lina would be lucky to have anyone other than you attached to her." Ashley spat, her cheeks still red with embarrassment. I simply laughed and leaned back in my seat. I was a little suspicious, Alexander hadn't made headlines lately with all of his... 'Meals'. I shivered thinking of the total number of victims found with their blood drained; 33 in all. The police where now involved, determined to find this killer I knew all too well.

"What are you in such deep thought about?" Ashley inquired, pulling me from the twisting forest that is my mind.

"Oh nothing, just listening to the two of you bickering." I replied. We passed the mansion I once feared, then loved, and now finally hated. I looked up at the thick curtains covering Alexander's bedroom, wondering what he dreamt about or if he dreamt at all. I immediately pushed the thought from my head and looked at Mike, sweet, protective Mike I've known most of my life. When I looked at him it's as if this whole thing with Alexander never happened, Mike was safe, he was comfort, he was home. I knew I needn't fear him, Mike would do anything to protect his family and I. He caught my gaze in the rearview mirror and flashed me a goofy smile, his signature look, I smiled back knowing everything would be ok as long as I had him. A warm feeling spread through my body and spiraled across my chest and through my limbs.

Pulling into the drive way I hopped out of the car and walked to Mike's side, lacing my fingers through his. He leaned down and kissed my forehead like protector I knew and loved. Walking inside I saw Mama scuttling around the house throwing things in a suitcase, when she noticed us a sweet grin cracked across her face.

"We're going on vacation." She said, bouncing in place.

"What? Where are we going?" Mike asked, embracing me from behind. I smiled and leaned back feeling his heart beat through his hard chest.

"We're going to stay at a cabin the woods." Mama replied.

"Cabin in the woods? Count me out, I saw that movie and I'm not gonna fall victim to backwoods zombies like the incredibly hot Chris Hemsworth did." I replied.

"Hey..." Mike said a hurt look on his face.

"Oh Mikey don't take it like that, you know I think you're hot too." I said patting his cheek, he smiled turning his head and kissed my palm.

"Gag me with a spoon." Ashely said rolling her eyes.

"Gladly." I picked up a plastic spoon on a nearby table and advanced toward her.

"That's enough children, there aren't going to be any zombies but there will be a lake and plenty of fresh air so I suggest you go pack because the car is leaving in an hour." Ash and I looked at each other then bolted upstairs to pack. I glanced out of the window and caught a glimpse of something retreating back into the trees.

Vivian's P.O.V

Blaine came into my study, a smirk plastered across his face.

"And?" I asked.

"You'll be pleased, the little brat and her so called 'family' will be traveling to a remote cabin near a lake.

"And I'll be pleased why?"

"It's the perfect opportunity to kill her of course."

"We'll also have to kill the other girl and her new boy won't we?"

"That shouldn't be a problem." His smirk morphed into a wicked grin. I grinned back.

"Well then, it seems like you and I are taking an unexpected holiday." I instructed my servants to pack my bags and get the car ready. This is going to be fun. Finally I will be rid of the pest distracting my Alexander, and I'll make sure it's slow and painful.

Alexander's P.O.V

I awoke to Cameron standing by my bed, watching me with cool detachment.

"What?" I asked irritably.

"Ms. Rozalina is going on a vacation." I sat up rubbing my eyes.

"Excuse me?"

"She is traveling with the woman, the girl, and the boy to a cabin by a lake." He said matter-of-factly. "Just thought you'd like to know."

"Thank you Cameron. Pack my bags, you and I are going to get back what was stolen from me." I said pushing myself out of bed. This is my chance. I will have my Rozalina, whether she likes it or not.
