...Then Again I Hate You - Bianca Gray (digital e reader txt) 📗

back at Aro.
"I have one order for you two. You must be with each other at all times, until you realize you love each other," said Aro sternly. All he wants is a secret weapon, I thought angrily. I scowled at him. Aro gave me a look and I sighed.
"Fine," I said.
"Yes, Master," said Corin through gritted teeth. Aro waved his hand toward the door.
"Off you go," said Aro.
"Yes, Master," Corin said. I didn't say anything. I was so mad. I just stalked off towards the door and left the room. I don't what it was about him, but he made me so angry that I couldn't concentrate on anything else. Corin finally came out of the room and my anger flared up. He looked so bored and it was like he was staring right through me. Rude. Then he smiled.
"So, what do you want to do?" he asked.
"Shoot you with a gun," I answered right away. We stared into each other's eyes waiting for one to back down. His eyes were such a deep green. And he was staring into my eyes, and I was staring into his. But although I'm sure we both meant this whole staring thing to be a stare down, as in whose strongest. Well, I did... That's when I felt myself in his brain. He was thinking of my eyes. He was thinking how the dark blue specks floating around my deep purple irises were circling around in this slight hypnotic affect. I knew he could hardly breathe staring at me. I knew that when I walked into the Aro's room, his heart stopped beating, for the first time in his existence. I knew he thought I was the most beautiful girl he has ever seen. I had to get out of here. I felt like I was suffocating. I quickly pulled my self out of his brain and in case he could go into my mind, I put up all kinds of barriers.
"Hi," a girl's voice said. We both looked away from each other to look at the girl. It was the girl with deep golden eyes.
"Hi, Cherry, I'm Destiny," she said smiling and holding out her hand. I smelled blood running through her and I heard her heart beating.
"You, are a human," I said slowly, astonished I didn't notice it before. Her smell was slightly less tasty with another smell. A smell like honey surrounded her as well, hiding the smell of blood. She laughed and looked at the dark haired boy.
"Yes, I'm half human. My father is Demetri," she answered.
"My father is Aro," I answered proudly. She looked at me confused.
"He has adopted you as his daughter?" she asked.
"Yes," I answered. She laughed.
"And everyone thought that it would be Jane he would adopt," she laughed.
"What about me?" a twinkling voice answered. She walked strongly and defiantly up to where we were all standing. She looked at me and sniffed distastefully. We-ell.
"Aro still has the chance of adopting me. He's just curious about this creature is all. Soon he won't pay any attention to her. I'M his secret weapon," she said crossing her arms.
"Jane..." whispered the dark haired boy. So, Jane, eh? Right, she's the girl who hissed at me back in the royal room.
"Well, it is true, Alec," replied Jane angrily to the dark haired boy. Destiny took her hand and grabbed his hand. They were obviously together... Jane flipped her short brown air and stalked off.
"Excuse my twin," said Alec bowing to me.
"Why are you excusing her?" I asked. He looked up at me with his bright red eyes.
"So you don't bring this up to Aro, princess," he said. Princess? Oh, well considering Aro adopted me and he's like a king, guess that makes me a princess.
"I won't," I said. Alec straightened himself back up.
"Well, sorry to interrupt your whole staring into each other's eyes thing. Just wanted to introduce ourselves. Bye!" called out Destiny, running and dragging Alec with her, her red blonde hair flying out behind her like a fire or a shooting star.
"She's nice," I said.
"She's new," said Corin. I looked at him with a hand on my hip.
"What do you mean?" I asked him.
"I mean she got here not too long ago," he said rolling his eyes, he might've added "duh" at the end of that.
"I hate you," I muttered.
"Aro says you don't. You love me," he said mockingly. I glared at him.
"Aro is wrong," I said then I stalked off. Of course he was following me. He had to. Ugh. A big man came out of the shadows and stepped in front of me.
"Cherry, right?" he asked. It was that big man with the girl who had brown hair that was reddish.
"Who wants to know?" I asked eyeing him suspiciously.
"Felix," he answered smirking at me. I looked at him in distaste. I hate people who mock me.
"Princess, I'm here to show you where your room is," said Felix. Corin snickered at the word "Princess". I flashed a glare at him and showed him my fangs. I must've looked pretty intimidating 'cause he stopped almost immediately. I wanted to know what he was thinking. No, I will not go into his mind again. That was...I just won't. Besides, I hate him remember?
"Okay, let's just go," I said. Corin started following us again. I sighed angrily. I felt his energy behind me, connecting me with him. I hated him so much! Felix stopped in front of huge cherry red doors. In gold carved into the doors was "Cherry Blossom" in caligraphy.
"Cool," I whispered. Felix frowned.
"It's not really fair that you get such special treatment," he said frowning. I stuck my tongue out at him.
"Whatever," I said opening the doors. I felt Corin's presence but I didn't care at the moment. It was so beautiful. Dark red curtains were in front of the window, blocking out the sun. There was a huge crystal chandelier that lit up the whole room. I ran into the bathroom. There was an extravagantly made bathtub and just as extravagant mirror, sink, and toilet. There was a fluffy pink rug on the floor of the bathroom in front of the sink. On the towel rack was 5 dark red towels. The queen sized bed had satin purple covers with dark purple pillows. I definitely felt like a princess.
"It's amazing!" I exclaimed twirling around and flopping onto my bed. I felt Corin's presence more than I did before. I looked up at him and glared.
"Go away," I said annoyed.
"I'm not allowed to," he said smirking. I narrowed my eyes at him.
"Don't you have your OWN room?" I asked him more annoyed.
"Yes," he said.
"THEN GO TO IT," I said angrily.
"I'm under orders not to," he said simply. I looked at Felix for help. He shrugged.
"Sorry, I can't make him go. If he's under orders, he's under orders," he said. He turned around and closed the door behind him. I glared at Corin.
"Well, if you're staying here, you're sleeping on the floor," I said pointing to the chocolate brown hardwood floor. He smiled.
"Aw, that's no fun," he said simply. I threw a pillow at him with all my might which caused him to fall off of my bed.
"The floor," I said simply. His soulful green eyes twinkled. I couldn't breathe for a second. Then I looked away. Someone knocked on the door.
"Come in! Please do and take this idiot out of my room too!" I called out. The door opened as Corin said, "Who you calling 'idiot'?"
"You, duh," I said back to him. I looked at the open door. In the door frame was Destiny and the girl with the brown red hair.
"Sorry, we aren't under orders to take this idiot from you," replied Destiny. She pointed to the girl next to her.
"This is-" she started.
"Christa," I finished. She smiled a little surprised.
"Yeah," she said. Christa smiled.
"You're Cherry Blossom," she said. I smiled.
"Yeah, I am," I said blocking a pillow that Corin threw at me still smiling. I glared at Corin.
"Remember? I can read your mind when I want to," I said smirking. He glared at me, sitting there on the floor.
"ANYWAY, sorry to ruin your whole love fest here..." started Destiny.
"LOVE FEST?!" cried Corin and I at the same time. Then we glared at each other for saying the same thing at the same time.
"AS I WAS SAYING, I'm here to take Cherry out hunting, Aro said so," she said seeing that Corin was going to object.
"Well, Aro said I need to be with her everywhere I go," said Corin shrugging. I glared at him.
"Go away and die somewhere," I said.
"Ouch. That hurt," he said smirking. I glared at him. I looked away at Destiny and Christa and smiled.
"Don't worry, he'll stay here," I said.
"No, I won't," he said.
"I can make you remember? Controlling power?" I asked pointing to my head.
"You definitely are controlling," he muttered.
"EXCUUSE ME?!" I asked him crossing my arms across my chest.
"Nothing, nothing," he said waving me off. As I got up, he got off the floor.
"Sorry, Corin. But I have to do this," I said. I put myself in his mind.
"You WILL stay here, Corin. On the floor. Until I come back. You will be mindless and unable to do anything but sit in the same spot," I ordered in his mind. Everything shut down. It was dark in there. I took myself out of his mind and he had collapsed onto the floor, just sitting, his green eyes showing no depth, they were glazed over. He wasn't in himself anymore.
"Umm, creepy," said Christa. I shrugged. Even standing so close to him, the connection was gone. I felt so empty.
"Let's go," I said. They both nodded and we ran out the room.

CHAPTER 3

I was crouching in the woods, the blood of the elk smelling so good. I just wanted to attack him now. But Destiny said that you had to wait until the right moment, and that I'm supposed to give into my instincts. I knew what I looked like. My violet eyes were slightly silvery, and my fangs were popped out, my lips were fuller, and my hair looked a little more wild than usual. Destiny's golden eyes looked more gold since she just fed. Christa's eyes were more an amber color. My instincts told me to attack now, my throat felt like it was burning, smelling the blood coming off of the elk. I ran quickly and reached the elk in less than a millisecond. It was too surprised to do anything, so I leapt to its throat, where the blood was pulsing the most. I sunk my teeth through it's neck and felt the flow of the bitter sweet blood coursing down my throat. I sunk the elk dry in no time. I lifted my head and looked at Christa and Destiny.
"It doesn't taste as good as that bag I ripped from Aro's hands..." I frowned. Christa looked at me with wide eyes.
"You ripped it from Aro's HANDS?" she cried in disbelief.
"It's 'cause it was human blood. Human blood is delicious, at least so I've heard. I haven't tasted it," said Destiny.
"Oh," I said slowly. I tasted human blood? Great. It tastes like candy.
"I'm craving bread," I said. Christa and Destiny
