Chapter 9 (Edited)

Chapter 9

Great. Now I have to watch out for another crazy Vampire. Not that I think Casper is going to be like that anymore, but I know he's strong and capable of inflicting horrible pain. Pain I don'twant to endure ever again.

I had gotten some jeans, shirts, and shoes, when I realized I hadn't gotten any bras or underwear.

“I need underwear," I said to Casper.

“Okay, I'll take you to a shop and wait outside. No way am I going into one of those shops," he said with a slight chuckle.

Once we were finished eating we walked towards a lingerie shop. I walked into the store on my own and was a little over whelmed at all of the different types of bras and underwear. I tried to find some low key stuff, you know nothing real sexy. I didn't see anything like that in this shop. I picked up a few push up bras and some minimizers because I have big breasts, and sometimes I like to hide them a little.

I picked out some bras that I would wear and got some boy shorts and g-strings and placed them all on the counter. I couldn't help but pick up a very cute and sexy teddy, even though I'll probably never wear it.

As I was looking a sales lady came walking up to the register.

“Hello, I'd like to purchase these," I said and I pulled Casper's credit card from my back pocket. Th sales lady took one look at the card I handed her and said,

“You're not welcome here," she spat at me.

“Excuse me?” I said oonfused.

“I said you're not welcome here, so get out!” she yelled at me.

“No!” I yelled back at her.

“He'll just use you and then kill you, like all the other whores he's had," she sneered at me.

I stood there with tears in my eyes, but I wasn't going to let this little bitch get to me.

“Now get out of my store!” she spat at me. She reached over the counter and slapped me across the face.

That's it! I stormed out of the store and looked around for Casper, but I couldn't see him. I turned around in slow circles and caught sight of him walking out of a jewelers with a bag in his hand.

“Where are your bags?” he asked looking confused. All our others were already in the car because there were so many.

“I changed my mind, can we go now please?” I asked still livid.

“What's wrong?” he asked me concerned.

“Nothing” I lied.

“You're nearly crying, what happened?” he asked more sternly. So I told him what happened and he stormed off towards the shop. “Who said it?” he asked me looking pissed.

I pointed to the lady who said those things and hit me. Casper was so angry I could the vein in the side of his neck bulging.

“HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO HER LIKE THAT!” he screamed at her.

“I'm sorry," she said. She looked stunned that Casper had actually came back to speak to her about what she did.

“You will address me as Prince Casper.” he told her.

“I'm sorry Prince Casper. I'm sorry for what I did and said to her.” she said.

“That's not good enough. GUARDS!” he yelled. Four big bulky guys in uniform came running through the door.

“How can we help Prince Casper?” the biggest one asked.

“Take her to the palace dungeons.” he ordered.

“NO! PLEASE DON'T TAKE ME!” she screamed.

“ENOUGH!” Casper commanded.

“YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS YOU FILTHY BITCH!” she screamed at me.

Casper gave a slight nod of his head, and within three seconds he had a sword pointed towards the lady.

“Down. Now.” he demanded.

She refused to go down on her knees, so one of the guards pushed her down until she was kneeling down with her head bowed. I had no idea of knowing what was going to happen and it was over in a flash. Right before my eyes, all that was left of the woman was a pile of ashes. Casper had decapitated her. I started screaming hysterically as tears poured down my face.

“Ssh, it's okay," Casper whispered into my ear.

Although he was trying to calm me it wasn't working, tears still poured down my face. I was feeling all hot and dizzy. I needed to calm down but I didn't know how to. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep during the car ride back to the house, but every time I closed my eyes I could see Casper lift the sword and bring it down on her neck. The drive back was quicker than it was on the way there. As we pulled up in front of the house, I didn't move. Casper walked to the passenger side and picked me up, I cuddled into his chest as he walked inside and placed me in the lounge.

“I'll be back in a minute, I'm going to go get the bags out of the car,” he said as he disappeared out the door.

I laid back on the lounge and closed my eyes, I didn't know Casper was back until he asked if I'd like to eat.

“No thank you," I said. He sat at the end of the lounge and turned the TV on.

“Is there anything you'd like to watch," he asked. I just shook my head no. I wasn't in the mood to watch TV, so I closed my eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.

****Casper's P.O.V****

I watched as she drifted off to sleep. I can't believe that nosy bitch said those things to Crystal, let alone hit her. She should have been tortured instead of being killed. I feel bad for what I did in front of her but it had to be done.

I placed Crystal's legs on my lap, so she didn't have to sleep with them tucked up. I pulled the blanket off the back of the couch and laid it across her to keep her warm. One day she's going to ask me why I changed so much, compared to when she first came here but I dread telling her the truth.

How am I meant to tell my soul mate, whom at first I held so much hatred towards, that I did so  because she reminded me of the woman who helped murder my mother?

****FLASHBACK****

The night that Mary betrayed me, I didn't stop to listen to what she meant by “I had to do it”. Little did I know I was about to find out. Once I was taken back to the house by the unknown male, I was left in the dungeons. I wondered how this unknown male knew his way around the palace. Once he threw me on the floor, I saw a girl with brown curly hair walk up to the cells with Mary. I kept hearing Mary cry and say, “No please, I did what you asked, but please don't do this, please!” She kept saying it over and over again. I was still paralyzed so I couldn't even ask what was going on. The last thing I heard was the brown haired girl say, “ Come on, we don't have much time!”

I don't know how long I was down there before I heard a blood curdling scream, and then the house was in an uproar. A guard came down to the dungeon to grab weapons and I called out to him realizing I could talk. “Hey, please help me! I've been staked, and I'm still weak,” I said.

“Oh, my prince I'm so sorry I'll help you. Do you know who did this to you sir?” he asked. I described to him what they looked like, and what they had done to me. The guard suddenly looked so sad, and with his next words my world fell apart.

“Sir the guy and girl you just described have murdered the queen, I'm so sorry sir,” he said.

My blood boiled and I could feel blood lust coming on. I would have my revenge. I suddenly realized I could get up and walk on my own. I went upstairs to see my father and my brother sobbing as my mother's ashes lay before them. My heart felt as though it would explode.

“Where are they?” I demanded.

“Son, you must calm down so that we can think clearly on how they should be punished," said my father.

“THEY WILL DIE!" I screamed.

“Yes son, they will but we must decide how. Our kind must know what these traitors have done. I want to make an example of them, and I will not budge on this," he said while trying to keep from crying.

“Fuck that!” I spat at him as I stalked from the room. “Where are they being held?” I asked one of the guards.

“They are in the servant quarters, in one of the rooms under lock and guard inside and out sir."

“Thank you.”

I stalked towards the servant quarters, my father's word be damned.They would die this night. When I arrived to the servant quarters, the guards instantly moved aside to let me through. As I walked into the room both the guy and girl looked up at me.

“Who are you? I want your names now!" I spat at them.

Neither of them would tell me so I stalked towards them. The guy came charging at me but this time I was ready. He went to grab me but I was quicker and I twisted his head clean off his shoulders. He was now nothing but a pile of ash, just like my poor mother. The girl just stood there glaring at me, and I stalked towards her.

“Why did you murder my mother?” I asked her.

“Without his queen by his side, the king will fall and the throne will be mine for the taking”, she spat at me.

“You will get it over my dead body!” I growled at her.

“As you wish," she sneered as she charged at me.

I grabbed her and threw her to the floor, but she was quick and kicked me in the chest. I was knocked into the wall, and she was able to regain her stance.

'Enough of this shit!' I thought angrily to myself. As she charged at me again, I grabbed her by the throat and lifted her into the air.

“This is in honor of my mother, you disgraceful bitch!” I spat at her. I then plunged my hand through her chest and ripped out her heart, she screamed and then there was nothing but ash. Moments later my father came into the room with a disappointed look on his face.

“I couldn't let them live for what they've done, that will be enough for our people. If it's not, I don't give a damn.”  My father just shook his head in agreement, knowing I wasn't to be questioned.

I had Mary brought to me two hours later to ask her what she knew. If she was involved she would die. I may have loved her at one point, but my love for her didn't matter anymore.

As she was brought into my office, I had two guards stay in the room with me.

“How did you know the two who killed my mother, and do not lie to me or you'll die.” I stated.

“They knew we were in love and they threatened my life if I didn't lure you around that corner. They also said they would kill me if I warned you in any way."

I was disgusted with her very presence, thanks to her my mother was dead.

“All this could have been prevented, you know I would have protected you. Now thanks to your lapse in judgment and lack of faith in me, my mother is dead," I spat at her. She hung her head in shame because she knew I spoke the truth, and nothing could change what had happened.

I had Mary beheaded as a traitor to the crown that same night, and anything I had ever felt for her was no more.

***END OF FLASHBACK***

My brother changed after that and became something dark and sinister. We grew to hate each other even though we were twins. A few years ago was the last time I saw my brother; he had come to challenge me for my right to the throne and lost of course.

Hopefully this dream of Crystal's doesn't mean he is coming back. If he does I will kill him. He is not going to get anywhere near her. I will not let him take away what's mine.
