The Rock's of Beauty - Meghan Escott (bookreader TXT) 📗

with Joshua and Kahn and we’d be getting married and having another two babies. There’d be no blood lust, no magic nothing abnormal. It would be perfect.
I got woken up in the middle of the night by Tristan coming into the room. Lucy let out a growl that sounded more like a moan and licked her lips.
“Evening Sam.”
“Tristan.”
“And how’s your little princess?”
“She’ll be doing a lot better in a couple minutes.”
Sam clicked his fingers and the chains vanished from around my wrists and ankles and I flew back into my body. I let out a triumphant growl and I started running using my Vampire speed to stand behind Tristan with my teeth in his neck. I could feel Tristan’s blood going into her and energising her. I could see that Tristan was smiling and nearly laughing. I was beginning to worry when I coughed and collapsed to the floor. I couldn’t move and just stayed still. No sign of life.
I detached myself once more and watched the scenes that continued.
“What the hell did you do to her?” Sam shouted at him running over to me, putting my head on his lap and stroking my hair watching my open eyes turn black.
“Sedative. Lethal to a vampire. Thankfully for you, she didn’t drink too much but she’s going to be out of it for a week or two.” As he was speaking, he was leaning closer and closer to Sam. “She won’t be able to move, speak, eat, drink or anything. And when she comes out of it she’ll be herself again. You’ve just got to be patient. Good luck with killing me.” He then used his Vampire speed to run from the room.
“Lucy. Come on Lucy, wake up. Wake up. WAKE UP.” Sam ended up shouting at me for me to wake up as tears rolled down his cheeks and dropped onto my face and neck. “Come on Lucy, you can’t die. You have a job to do and your little baby to look after. You can’t leave me.”
“SAM.” Someone shouted from behind him.
“What?” He snapped at them, only wanting to be left alone with his baby - me.
“Brylee’s dead. I found her outside her room like Aaliyah. I’m sorry Sam.” He had turned to see Sophie standing there tears dripping down her face and into her hands. He stood up and turned back to me. I was laying there with my blood red eyes and pointy teeth. Sam clicked his fingers and the silver chains went back around me.
“Okay. Come on then. Show me where she is.” He said to Sophie going to her and putting an arm around her, leading her to the door and away from me.
I came out of Sam’s mind and went into Tristan’s. I closed my eyes and just listened to his mind rather than watching the scene.
I ran. I ran away from Brylee’s dead and limp body and ran to Lucy’s side where she was tangled up in some new silver chains looking like she was asleep, however, I knew better.
“I’m so sorry my beautiful Lucy.” I whispered in her ear and then bit into her neck.
Coming out of her neck was a delicious and hot stream of blood. I could of sat there for hours and just sucked and sucked until there was nothing left but no. I couldn’t. I realized as I was concentrating on Lucy’s blood that it had turned cold. I stopped sucking and started running from the awakening Lucy. I ran all the way back to her corridor and stopped just outside the door. I listened to the door and heard nothing.
I opened the door and I skulked into Condoleezza’s room. She was lying on her bed asleep. I walked over to her and pulled her covers away from her. I kissed her neck and opened my mouth to bite.
I pulled out of Tristan’s head went into Condoleezza’s head and experienced her last moments and thoughts.
I shivered in disgust as he kissed my neck. I even had puke in my mouth but I swallowed it down and made sure I had perfect timing when I turned over and stabbed him in the head with the sharp piece of wood I had hidden under the covers of my bed.
Tristan fell back and hit his head on the floor. A pool of blood was starting to form around his head when I ran from the room and he was starting to pull the wood out of his head. He looked angry so I ran from him and ran into Sam’s block where Lucy had told us all to go if we needed help and couldn’t get to her.
“Sam. I need you. Now.” I said loudly into the silence. Sam came jogging out of his room. “Tristan’s in my room. He tried to bite me but I hit him on the head and he didn’t bite me. What do we do?”
“We have to stick together. All of Lucy’s vampire’s have to stick together in one place. Somewhere protected where he can’t find us until Lucy can kill him. Until then, we do nothing but I must warn you, he will come after you again and again until you are dead. You are next in his long list of people to kill. I’m sorry.” Sam said to me in a deadly serious voice. “Get the others and tell them to pack essentials. We have to leave now. Go.”
I ran back to my room and found Tristan sitting patiently on my bed. I screamed and slammed the door on my room. I looked around me and saw that no one had responded to my scream. No one was here to protect me and no one was here to save me as my room door opened and Tristan came out with a wide smile on his face.
I turned away from him and tilted my head to one side and felt his breath on my neck as a tear trickled down my cheek. He bit me softly at first and then stopped for a moment and let blood trickle down my neck and drip into my shirt. He then came back and bit hard and started sucking. I did not scream or shout in agony. I stood and silently cried while I felt myself slip away from this realm.
Chapter Ten

“It’s been one week now and we’ve lost Aaliyah, Brylee, Condoleezza, Pixie, Fae, Peatol, Kyi, Ala, Iahtah, Ashton, Lie, John, Riley, Adam, Ben, Ronald, Malcolm, Jordan and Max. Lucy’s now awake and all we have to do is get Tristan to come to her. Any ideas?” Sam said to Sophie, Jasmina, Allisa, Eliza, Katie, Hannah and Jane. They all shook their heads at him and looked down at their crossed legs.
“Please. I need something. Otherwise you are next on Tristan’s kill list. We have hours to come up with something before Tristan comes looking again.”
“Why don’t we use her magic? Tristan can’t do magic like Lucy can. Use that as a strength rather than a weakness. She’d win easily if we get her to weaken him with magic and then she have to suck him dry. It’ll be easy for her and because you can barely feel her any more, it’ll be easy for you too.”
Jane said this lifting her head, in her smallest voice and clicking her fingers as she came up with the idea. Everyone else nodded in agreement as Sam slowly looked from my unconscious form with my head on his lap. I had taken on another transformation and turned back to myself. My thick black hair was flowing around my shoulders in little waves and my green eyes would surely sparkle when I opened them.
“How are going to control her afterwards? I don’t mean to but your idea down but blood lust, magic control, how are we going to control her? She’ll come after us and she may kill one of us too.” Sam said this in a voice just louder than a whisper, imagining the results of me roaming free when I couldn’t control my blood lust
“We all know that Sam and were all willing to risk that for our best friend. Not saying you’re a bad boyfriend or anything but we all know that you should be willing to risk death for your fiancé. I’m sorry.” Sophie said back to Sam giving me an apologetic look and a small smile.
“Okay but I’m only letting you do this for Lucy. And Kahn. As soon as all of this is over, I get him back from Eric and then I can put all of this right again.” Sam looked down at me and he closed his eyes letting a tear leak out and falls down his cheek and onto my eyelid. My eyelid fluttered as his tear hit them and I started to slowly move my arms and flex my hands and fingers as I was dragged back into my own body and awoke.
I started to open my eyes and I heard Sam breathe out in relief and I felt him rummage around in my head. I fully opened my eyes and I looked at him apologetically until I couldn’t not focus on his throbbing veins. I turned my head towards his neck and I felt Sam rummaging in my head again. He let me turn over and get on to my hands and knees and I let him talk to everyone so his plan would work.
“When she bites, think of calm thoughts. Things that calm you down and make you feel normal and confident. Push your thoughts toward Lucy and make her embrace them. Make her otherwise...” I couldn’t wait any longer so I pounced on him cutting him off mid-sentence. I pushed him back so he was lying on the floor on his back. I straddled him and gripped a handful of his hair, yanked his head to one side and bit him hard.
He only struggled for a minute as I started sucking on his neck where I had bit him. I made sure it didn’t hurt for him – I had enough left of my right mind to make it pleasurable for him. He audibly moaned and I could feel him press against me and rock back and forward as I continued to suck. Sam obviously had enough of his right mind to make it pleasurable for me too and I started moaning with him.
I stopped sucking then and I got off of him and lay down next to him. I tilted my head to the side, exposing my neck – the side with ‘Jahd’ on it. I looked into his eyes and willed my eyes to turn back to the deep green that they normally were.
“Trust me and bite me.” I said and even I could hear my voice was full of desperation and I could feel a tear trickling down my cheek. “When Tristan comes, turn your eyes blood red and don’t stop sucking until Tristan comes
