the house - part four

Part four - kidnapped

I stared at him; well I mean what could I say? What could anyone say when told they were once a vampire? So I kept staring. And he just stood there hands by his side still a hair's breath away from me.
"Well?" he asked raising one eyebrow.
"Um" I said. And stopped he was to close I couldn't think. I needed air. "I need…" and then I fainted.

Not exactly sure how long I was out for. It was dark when I regained  consciousness. It took a while for my eyes to adjust to the low light of the flickering flames on the candles. I woke up on the biggest bed you could imagine. It could have fit four of me in there. It was so comfortable and the blankets we so luxurious. Waking up took a while. I stretched a lot. It felt more like I had a good night sleep rather then fainted. I sat up and took in my surroundings. I was no longer in the house. The room was as splendid as the bed, thick carpets covered the floor. In a rich dark green colour, that matched the tapestries hanging on the walls. I saw a massive dresser on my left pushed up against the wall it had a writers set on it. On my right was a wall with one of the green tapestries, it depicted the crowning of King Eisaer. In front of me was another tapestry this one had a woman woven in to it, she had long black hair and the brightest blue eyes that you could ever imagine. I saw no windows and no door. That explained why it was dark and that's what made me jump out of the bed. My bare feet touched the carpet and I looked down at myself. I was wearing a long green silk robe. I blushed at the thought of someone undressing me. Then I blushed harder at the thought of Narmer undressing me, movement by the tapestry in front of me caught my attention and I looked up to see Narmer walk in, pushing the tapestry aside to reveal the door behind him.

"Finally awake I see" he said to me walking further into the room. He stopped at the foot of the bed leaning against the post. He crossed his arms and smiled at me. He was wearing black trousers and a black tunic with no shirt underneath. It was open at the collar revealing a glint of sliver against his neck.

"Where have you taken me?" I asked, making my voice as clear and sharp as possible.

"We are in our home" he said, still standing there with all the arrogance of a prince who thinks he can have whatever he wishes.

"This is not my home" I said pointedly, "I certainly do not have a bedroom like this. My father would faint at the thought of this much luxury, it would be far to expensive" He smiled at me.

"Stop doing that!" I said my voice going shrill; I fisted my hands and closed my eyes, I took a deep breath and started again.

"You have kidnapped me and I demand you bring me home now! I don't care who you think I am. I have had enough of this."

Narmer stood up straight and unfolded his arms. "No" was all he said. I stared at him in utter disbelief.

"What do you mean no, are you nuts?" I stopped. "What am I saying, of course your nuts, you tell me a ridiculous story of reincarnated vampires! And then you kidnap me!" I took a deep breath and then let it out. I kept concentrating on my breathing "I want to go home" I said as calmly as I was likely to get.
"Not possible" he said just as calmly, well even more so.

"This can not be happening to me" I said aloud not really looking at him anymore. Not really looking at anything. "Vampires do not exist"

"Of course they do" Narmer said "Your people just push them into stories, just like any other race that is not human. We hide because people do not understand us and do not wish to. They want to go about thinking that they are the superior ones just because there are more of them. So they have the ability to breed like rats. But large numbers do not make a race superior. It just makes them dangerous brutes."

He walked closer to me "You were a vampire" he walked even closer "You were my beautiful Riss. And now you will be my beautiful Alesiya" he moved his hand up to stroke my chin and I stumbled backwards so fast. I hit the wall and grabbed hold of the bed post next to me so I could steady myself. I was in full out panic mode. He had just told me that he was going to kill me like it was a favour he was doing me. I mean come on! How did he expect me to react, by crumbling in to his arms and saying thank you?

"No!" I said well I didn't really say it; it kind of stumbled out of my mouth. He looked at me.

"Yes" was his reply "It will not hurt I promise. It was just a sad mistake that you were born human instead of being born a vampire like you are supposed to be. But it is a mistake that can be easily rectified."

He moved closer again and this time I couldn't back up. I was pressed up against the wall; he came so close to me that I could have laid a kiss on his lips. He moved his right hand up to my face and cupped my chin. He traced his thumb under my eye moving it across very gently.

"Please" I said quietly nearly inaudible. "Please let me go" a tear rolled down my cheek and he gently wiped it away.

"I cannot lose you again" he said. His hand held my face slightly harder and he tipped it to my right, exposing the curve of my neck. He moved his other hand up and brushed my hair of my shoulders. He bent his head forward and I could feel his breath tingle along my neck, he traced his fingers down my neck to the point where my top stopped on my chest, it made my skin shiver.

I closed my eyes and felt his lips touch my skin. Felt them part, felt his teeth just resting on my skin. Then they pierced my skin and I screamed.
