Chapter 21- Fear or Hurt?

A/N: OMG! Guys, MVL ranked #1 in #vampireslave ... It couldn't have been possible without you.. Thanks a lot guys! I love you!

Brittany's POV

***

It took an effort to stand up to brush my hair.

I felt like I did a hundred push ups yesterday night. Memories from yesterday where blurred and there was a burning pain in my wrist.

I looked at the scar on my wrist and hissed at the pain that I got from touching it.

The pieces of memories from yesterday started coming together.

I thought really hard as I brushed my hair a little bit harshly because it had too many knots in it.

I let out a sudden gasp.

Cole.

He bit me yesterday... He actually drank my blood till I passed out.

I know he should have done this a long time ago but he should have Informed me before doing such a cruel thing to me.

I don't know why I feel so sad about this but it was too sudden...

I felt a tear drop run down my face.

I shouldn't cry, it could have been sooner or later anyways.

I kept saying to myself...

I'm the pet and he's the master... It cost a fortune to buy me so why wouldn't he drink from me?

Yeah, I know I'm the stupid Britt who only realizes the truth when she's sad but I don't care. I acknowledged the truth and that's all that's all that matters to me... Or maybe not.....

"Britt, can we talk?" Cole's voice brought me back to life.... Actually, his voice jerked me back to life cause standing here talking to him here's as scary as shit.

"C- Master...". I stuttered, bowing my head.

"Can we talk?"

Of course not, the thought of talking to you brings me so close to peeing on myself.

My body said another thing entirely as I found myself nodding.

He motioned to the sofa.

I sat down there just like an obedient dog should.

I just noticed that I didn't have my collar on... Panic set in.

What if he gets tempted to drink from me again?!?

I tapped my fingers nervously on my bare thighs as I tried to push away all the negative thoughts.

I couldn't look at him in the eyes but an imagination popped up when I took a glance at him.

I imagined the veins along with more scary features on his face. I mentally screamed till the clearing of his throat  brought me back to reality.

Here goes the long talk.

"Umm... Morning". He said.

Well, this was awkward.

"Morning m- master". I managed to reply.

"Yesterday,"  He begun... "I know I fucked up but I'm really sorry... I still can't believe that I could do that because I didn't plan to drink from you, some certain events drove me to do it. I saw someone that I never thought I'd see... Someone that I thought never existed again, some-" He sighed.

"I know I'm talking too much but please forgive me... You can call me names, I deserve any name you call me, I'm really sorry".

He looked so vulnerable that I almost believed him but the other part of me wanted to show him who Britt really was but a second thought stopped my actions.

"There's no need for that master". I said.

"Please don't call me master. I didn't mean to do what I did, I was angry..." He explained.

I understand him. I really do I'm just scared that he might get angry and suck my blood again. I know he didn't mean to do it on purpose. I'm not even angry with him.

"The truth is, I'm not angry... I'm just hurt". I said, opening up to him. "I know this should have happened sooner or later but it was all too sudden".

I don't know where the confidence came from but I finally gathered up courage to look at him in the eyes but when I did, I realized that his physical features changed a little bit.

His eyes were a deeper shade of blue and he looked paler and hotter than before, even his lips were a lot rosier.

I guess that's what drinking direct from source can do to a vampire.

Till then I didn't realize that he was wearing a tight fitting shirt which showed off his abs and well defined eight packs. His skin could have being perfectly tanned but he's a vampire... No matter what he does, his skin will always be pale.

I quickly shifted my gaze before he discovered that I was actually checking him out but guess what, he caught  me already.

He smirked.

"Checking me out huh?" He asked.

I blushed.

"I- um... I was um..." I couldn't even form a proper sentence.

"You were what?" He said.

"I was observing you". I said.

Seriously?!? That was all I could come up with?

"I see -" Cole said.

This was the Cole I knew, the real Cole. The playful, cocky Cole.

"Observing me.... Am I like some type of experiment that needs to be observed?" He asked.

"Maybe".

"So... Do you forgive me?" He asked with pleading eyes.

I nodded.

His face broke into a huge smile as he engulfed me in a hug before he could even realize it.

It took some minutes before he realized that he was actually hugging me.

He broke the hug and apologized.

"It's okay".

I actually liked it.

'Whatever this is, stop it Brittany'

My subconscious told me.

'You can't stop feelings you know,"

I replied.

'Feelings? You mean falling for your vampire master?'

'Whatever'.

I have conversations with myself sometimes.

"I have something to show you but that will be when we leave this annoying place". Cole suddenly said.

"Great! What do you wanna show me?" I asked eagerly.

"It's a surprise". He said.

I scoffed.

"A surprise huh?"

He hummed a response.

I snorted unladylike.

"Can't you just give me a hint?" I pleaded.

"Nuh - uh".

I'm not a fan of surprises... Surprises are like cliffhangers... You just have to wait to see what happens.

Cole's phone beeped.

He read the text and frowned immediately.

I thought I heard him growl.

"Ummm... I have to go". He said and left before I even had the chance to reply.

I didn't even get to ask him about the person he saw... The person he never thought he would see again.

Well, I can ask him later.

My mind's at ease now that we've gotten everything resolved.

It's a pity that I can't look outside the window to see what another vampire city looked like.

I sat on my blanket and looked at the scar on my hand one more time.

If only I could watch TV right now then my life wouldn't be the same as it is right now.

Uh huh!!!

Cole has a TV in his so called office! Once we get back home, I'll go there every single day.

I spent the rest of my day in my own world...

My wrist hurt a bit and I still felt like I did a hundred pushups but c'mon we all know that I can't even do five.

A/N: That was a bad way to end the chapter huh?

I'm sooo sorry. I encountered a terrible writer's block while writing this chapter.

I didn't particularly get rid of it but I managed to post this chapter.

I'm finally done with my exams but I still have a party at school to deal with so the excitement is still there which may lead to a not-so-terrible writer's block.

I can write at school when I have the chance to ...

Note: Only when I have the chance to (I may and may not)

I'm gonna be posting an announcement after this chapter.

Don't forget to vote and comment.

I wanna say a big thank you to all those who added my story to their reading lists, those who voted on my story, the commentators (even though you're very few) and those who gave my story a chance by reading it. I appreciate it a lot.

I was practically jumping when I saw that some people added my story to their reading lists... It really made my day. Thanks a lot.

Love y'all❤😘💖
