Soul Mates - Arianna Baum (popular romance novels txt) 📗

Calling her a blood whore would be an understatement. My ‘sister’ love blood she would bathe in it every night if she could. We were heading to a club late Friday night to feed. I don’t know when we would be done I mean I’d brought Kristi with me.around one o’clock my night started to perk up. A young man around the same age as I when I was changed walked. Boy did he look delicious I always thought love at first sight was overrated but one look at him had my body tingling all over. He was around six foot maybe taller with short chestnut colored hair long and lean built just right. Muscle slightly protruding from from his tight nice body hugging t-shirt.
He came and sat right next to me and order a bloody Mary. My favorite. Breathing in his musky odor I swear I recongnized it. The familiar scent went on bugging me the whole night every time I would look at him his eyes were glued to me or his drink. I couldn’t blame him I mean vampires are all very beautiful but my looks went past that. I was changed for my looks and ‘spunk’ as the old man would put it.anyway the long blonde hair a crystal blue eyes were one thing but the rocking body was another. Half the men in this room were drooling while the other were being bleed by Kristi. Being in this room next to this man was intoxicating. Every look he sent me made my hands shake and my knees go weak. I would love to squeeze a little of his blood into my drink. Bile rose in my throat the second I thought that. Thinking of hurting this man made me sick to my stomache and I just couldn’t believe that as thirsty as I was. I decided to make conversation with this man…see what makes him tick.
“hello.” I said in my sweetest voice.
“didn’t think you were ever going to talk me. And whats your name little girl?” He asked in a deep seductive voice.now I hate being called a little almost as much as I hate being called old. Suddenly the thought of knocking his head off was appealing.
“Little girl? I think im a tad bit older than you babe. My name’s not important right now but yours is...and that would be?” I asked trying not to show how irritated he was making me.
“ really just how old are you? Jake. I don’t see how so.” He said with a fake souther drawl.
“ 21 but if you want to be exact 783 years old. Alright Jake what can I buy you. Another bloody Mary. Taylor if you must know.” We are just playing with each other i know his name isn’t Jake I could hear his heart accelerate when he lie’s.
“ funny. Little girl 22 here.” His cheesy smile fades at the mention of blood. I remember where I smelt him! Down by the docks at the attack! Shit he’s another hunter. I look around for Kristi but she’s no where in sight. Damn it if shes with another guy I will kill her! I search for an exit way and spot a back door.
“im sorry but I really need to go now I say look at the clock on the wall.” I say as I start to walk away.
“so you figured it out. So fast too!” he smiles a crooked grin that steals my breathe. The moment his hand tightens around my wrist I forced to the floor by a shock so bad I cant feel my right hand. I look up at him expecting him to be smiling athis weapon but no he’s looking as confused as me.
“what the….” We say in unison. We sit there just look at each other for a while. I am first to rise and turn and start to leave I say over my shoulder…
“new weapon I see.” And walk out the door.
On my way home I grab a gang member to go. Once finished with his body I dump it in the ocean and head home for the night well almost day now.
Once home I check for Kristi but she’s not home yet. Skank I think as I walk to the bathroom and turn on the shower. Steam rises all around me even before I step into the shower I feel a little odd. Not enough blood maybe? I think I feel as though every breathe I take I feel weaker and weaker only minuets later to find myself collapsing in the shower. That’s when I hear the footsteps. I shout for help and the bathroom door opens. Its just Kristi. I let out a sigh of relief as she helps me up and get me dressed. She goes down stairs and brings back up a packet of blood. I don’t feel any better but I let her continue her story that she had to desperately tell me.
“the man you were talking to at the bar tonight is a hunter.” She says.
“yes I know that.” I reply.
“then why in the hell would you be talking to him?” she shouts at me. I tell her all that happened tonight and all she can ask me Is…
“are you sure it was a weapon?” she asks.
“thanks for your concern. And yes what else would it be?” im astonished st her question but I does bring back the old stories I’ve heard or ever the books I’ve read.total b.s by the way humans have no clue whats going on.
“ I think you hav… nevermind just be more careful.” she says going all big sister on me.
“yes mother…” I say sarcastically.
“whatever. Goodnight.” She says as she walks away. Funny I might have said goodnight if I had known that this was the last I would have seen her.
Im awakened by the sounds of crying and pleading. Kristi is talking but I don’t know the other voice I hear the thump and figure she’s dead. Well shit who’s going to help me pay rent I think as I get up to investigate what had happened in there. Before I open the door I smell the same musky odor of last night. I crack the door instead of opening it fully and get a view of two hunter cleaning up there equipment. The same one from last night and the docks jeesh I’m going to have to kill this guy. So I do. Well not him but his friend.because before I jump him I get the electrical feeling again this time thinking im dead. THUD I feel my head smack the hardwood floor then im plunged into darkness not knowing whether I’ll return or not.
I awake in the arms of whats his name. he's blotting blood off my forehead and well from the view I have right now he look more beautiful than ever.
“ouch!” I shriek when he puts to much pressure on my forehead. Thinking that well I wish I had saved Kristi at least long enough for her to have finished her sentence she started last night.

Sitting alone in the king’s throne room was chilling. But something’s just have to be done. His debt must be paid. The king approached followed by his jester who was followed by soldiers.
“Lovely surprise old friend!” the king crowd as he grabbed his hand. Lovely? He was only happy because his son was getting what he wanted.
“Yes it is!” He said almost mocking the king in his joyful state.
“Call the boy down I want him to see his bride to-be!” the king yelled at no one.
“Taylor isn’t here my king.” I said quietly Scared to crush him hopes so soon.
“Where is she then?” he said getting closer to my face. I walked over to his desk and scribbled the address down.
“You’ll find her here along with my other daughter.” I say as I hand him the paper. The king snatches up the up the paper and takes a step back.
“She doesn’t know you’re doing this?” he said already knowing the answer.
“No she doesn’t know, my king.” I say ashamed. The king expression almost the same as he looks at the jester who nods. Guards advance on him at once. He slips into attack mode as the lower there weapons.
“What is this?!” he shouts outraged by this act.
“Your debt has an interest rate.” He kings shouts as he turns around
“Clean up the mess when you’re done. He says over his shoulder to the guard behind him.
Taylor
Oh god I think when I open my eye’s to all the chaos around me. The only good thing is ben still holding me in his arms trying to protect me from the intruders at the door. I try to turn to just get a peek at whose there but when I squirm he drops me to the floor. Apologizing with his eyes as he goes to stand in front of me. I’m in shock at the man in the doorway.
“Blake?” I ask the man. You see Blake is the to be ruler of the vampire world. But he is also my best fri3nd. He has been since before I changed. But now looking at him as he just stands there in the door frame taking in the mess that probably looks worse than it is. When he finally looks at me, well the blood on my head. I see his expression change from surprised to infuriated.
“Hey lovely.” He asks nonchantly.
“Let me kill this guy and we can go.” He adds. But before they can even move im up and between them hands on each chest. Screaming at them!
“If you kill him I kill you!” I threaten Blake. He seems to be taken back.
“Whaaat?!” he says sounding like a mental case.
“You have ears listen to what in saying. You can’t kill him!” I say shooting them both dark looks. It seemed to help. They both shut up and only spoke when I talked to them during the whole night. I asked the questions.
“Why in god’s name are you here?” I demand.
“Your father sold you…to me, well my father.” He says. All emotion floods out of me when I fear this only to be brought back from wishing I really had killed him all these years ago by the hand on my back. Ben and I were sitting together and Blake from across the room from where he paced stopped to look at the hand he put on me. I look back at ben only to find his eyes glued to me searching over my body. Everywhere he look I felt Goosebumps rise. The moment his lips met mine I knew we were in trouble. The shock I felt was dulled to a pleasantly surprising warmth. Blake didn’t seem to like that as Ben was ripped from my grasp. The fight that would last for all eternity began. Little words were exchanged. Actually the only words that were she and mine. I hate that I am not a piece of property! You can’t own me. Pissed off as I was I begun to rip them off each other for the almost second time this night.
“Shouldn’t you be going?” I ask Blake who is reluctant to answer.
“I can’t leave without you!” he shouts exasperated.
“Yes you can. Leave now!” I shriek at his and I walk to the door and rip it off the hinges. Both
