CHAPTER 9- We all make mistakes...

A/N : Hi guys, I decided to write Cole's POV since you didn't vote but it's cool so here is Cole's POV.

I also added a Brittany POV to this chapter 'cause I wanted to lengthen the chapter.

I hope you enjoy it. You may proceed....

***

Cole's POV

I pulled over at the car park of the castle.

I wanted this meeting to end as soon as possible because the last one didn't end well.

I couldn't leave Brittany alone in my room because of Adrian.

I can remember him saying something about her taste. He knew her blood was rare. I couldn't risk it.

She's even more insecure because Adrian has the spare key with him.

Adrian is a type of vampire that always wants more. His pets don't stay long and that's why he doesn't get pets from auction, he prefers to get them from cheap pet shops 'cause he doesn't need to spend so much money on a pet that wouldn't stay long.

I walked into the castle, ignoring the slaves that were bearing their heads to me and walked to his office. I opened the door and walked in closing the door behind me.

"I thought you wouldn't come". He said in his husky voice.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"Hello to you too and I'm fine, thanks for asking". He said.

I rolled my eyes.

"Please sit". He said, motioning to a chair that was directly facing his large desk.

I hesitantly sat on the chair.

He sighed.

"Can't we forget about the past and move on?" He said.

"Move on!?! Forget about the past? Seriously?! You want us to move on after you killed her?"

"We all make mistakes, Nicholas Vasilios".

Wow! He mentioned my full name. Who the hell does he think he is?

Huh, I'll let that go.

"Yes but killing her couldn't have been a mistake! No one can make that mistake except you of course". I yelled.

"I'm sorry, I really am but you're not ready to give me a chance, not a single chance".

I sighed

"Let's forget about this and focus on the reason why you called me here".

The room was filled with silence for a while before he started speaking.

"Your coming of age ceremony is fast approaching so-" He said.

"Oh, is this all about my coming of age ceremony?" I asked, cutting him off.

"No, I assume you know what to do during the ceremony. I just want to counsel you about the responsibilities you'll have on your shoulders after the ceremony".

I nodded.

"As a Prince, your responsibilities will be like three times a normal vampire's responsibilities after the ceremony..."

We talked for hours and hours in his office. The conversation was more comfortable than I imagined it to be. It didn't end up like the last time and I was grateful for that.

I got home around 12:37 am, the house was dead silent by then.

I got to my room that happens to be on the top floor and brought out my keys.

I opened the door and walked in.

I didn't bother to switch on the light because I didn't want to wake Brittany up.

I walked to my wardrobe and removed my suit jacket and tie. I was undoing the buttons of my shirt when I heard quiet sobbing.

I reach out to switch on the light.

"Brittany". I said quietly.

She was curled up in a ball on a blanket with her face buried in her hands. She was visibly shaking.

Brittany's POV

"Brittany". He said quietly.

After some minutes, I looked up at him.

"Cole". I said, my voice hoarse from crying.

He walked over to me and studied me for some time before speaking.

"Who hurt you?" He asked, anger laced in his voice.

I shook my head.

"Stop lying to me Britt, I hate it". He said.

"I'm not lying". I said, trying my best to stop tears from streaming down my face.

"Then what happened?" He asked.

I shook my head in an attempt to shake off the memory of the nightmare but it kept coming and all it was all about my mom's death.

I kept seeing fire, my mom crying and running to save a baby that I assume was me, my dad running after her and then a scream and then everything went blank but it was still scary.

I didn't know how my mom died and dad refused to tell me. All I know is that she died when I was a little baby.

I woke up sweating profusely and I felt like jelly, my body was shaking uncontrollably.

Cole grabbed my hand in an attempt to help me stand but I withdrew my hand, I was still shocked.

I seldom had nightmares and if I ever had nightmares they were always about a monster taking away my ice cream and I would wake up and make my dad buy three giant scoops of ice cream for me the next day. But that was a stupid thing I did when I was five!

Now the scary nightmares have started to haunt me with one of my weaknesses, my mom.

I'm turning sixteen this year for crying out loud!

I buried my face in my hands again and sighed.

I heard footsteps approaching but I ignored it and continued thinking.

I felt someone lifting me. I opened my eyes too see Cole carrying me in bridal style.

"What are you doing? Put me down!"

"You didn't want to move so I had to carry you and I'm putting you down". He said.

He put me on his king size bed.

"You can sleep if you want to".

I attempted to stand up but he stopped me.

"My bed is big enough for both of us so I'll sleep on one end and you'll sleep on the other"

"Sorry, WHAT?!?" I said. "There's no way I'm sleeping on my master's bed"

"Huh, we're back to the Master terms again? And yes, you're sleeping on my bed".

With that, he switched off the light.

I just couldn't sleep, the nightmare was haunting me and I was on the same bed with my Master. My life was gradually turning into a big mess.

I turned to look at Cole and analyzed his features. His face looked calm while sleeping. He looked so peaceful and-

"Like what you see?" Cole asked, opening his eyes.

I rolled my eyes.

"Can't sleep huh?" He asked.

I hummed in response.

He opened his mouth to talk but I beat him to it.

"I don't wanna talk about it".

"Uh, okay. What can I do to help?"

I shook my head.

"I dunno". I said.

Surprisingly, he pulled me into an embrace and ran his hands through my hair.

"What are you doing?" I asked sleepily.

"I dunno. I'm just doing it". He said, still running his hands through my hair.

I closed my heavy eyes and fell asleep after some minutes.
