"Couldn't you have just called him back?" Harry asked while he drove.

"He needed to see me and tell me in person." Whatever it is he needs to tell me. If it wasn't important he would have told me when he saw me another time.

"Do you think he's going to break up with you?" I turned the radio up to the fullest and glared out the window. He turned it down. "I'll be sorry when I'm proven wrong."

"You're being pretty insensitive today. Are you on your man period?"

"Man period?" He repeated with a laugh.

"Yes."

"I'm just being honest."

"You're being the jerk you accuse Drake of being." I felt him turn his head and watch me but I concentrated on the blurry world he's speeding past. I felt a tinge of guilt for saying that but, "I'll be sorry when I'm proven wrong."

I heard him flare his nostrils then sensed him look back at the road.

Alicia 1 Harry 0

Along the road in front Drake's I noticed four black cars and a black limo parked awkwardly. Some are parked in the trees of the forest and there a men and women in black suits scanning the area.

These must be Drake's guards but what are they doing here?

"What's going on?" Harry questioned.

"I don't know." As we drove closer one of the suited men blocked our way gesturing for us to get out of the car.

"We should get out of here."

"Not yet."

"Look at them Alicia, none of them look happy to see us. They look like they want to strip us down for weapons."

"Well we've stripped in front of each other once before so I'm sure you'll be fine." I undid my seatbelt and hopped out of the car trying to stay calm and cool as I faced the guard. "Hi I'm here to see," the man grabbed my arm and called for his companions to grab me also. "Hey let go of me!" Harry leaped out of the car playing the hero again but there was a loud bang of a gunshot and Harry collapsed. "Harry!" I screamed horrified and fought harder against the men. I kept on screaming and forced myself to fall so they would have to drag my heavy weight. My eyes brimmed with tears and I let out uncontrollable sobs and cries. They killed Harry.

Did Drake make that order? Did he command them to murder Harry? No he would never do that! But then again I'm not sure...

They lifted Harry's body and started dragging him up the steps behind me.

"Let me go! Don't touch him! You monsters let go!" My internal switch flipped and I let the snow all around us rise up from the ground to do as I commanded.

But then the front door swung open.

I did not expect Sebastian to save me let alone be half naked while doing it. What is with this family and always getting naked in front of me? I've seen Drake half naked, I've seen Scarlet in lingerie, now Sebastian in nothing but a towel? Please don't let the parents be next.

"Let them go." He said calmly. "One's a blood bag the other is a pet."

"You asshole." I kicked out at his shin but he didn't flinch. His grin did strain which gave me some satisfaction.

"Let her go and just dump the body on the couch." Once they let me go I lunged at him and only because he didn't see it coming I managed to knock him down and couldn't stop punching his face. "Bloody hell Alicia! Get off me."

"You killed him!" I screamed fists still flying.

"I didn't kill him!" He flipped us over and he pinned my hands above my head. An act all too familiar so I started getting teary eyed. "Tranquiliser Alicia not bullet!"

"Get you naked body off me! You evil mosquito!"

He stared unimpressively down at me. "Really?"

"Bastian what are you doing?" We snapped our heads at the beautiful woman staring at us. Queen Persephone. Sebastian backed away from me and got his men to grab me but the Queen shooed them off. "I'm so sorry Alicia I didn't realise you were coming."

"Excuse my impoliteness but..." I ran past her to Harry who lay unconscious on the couch. I knelt down next to him and gently patted his face. "Harry? Harry are you okay?" He didn't even stir.

"Who is this?" Persephone asked.

"My friend. He's my friend." I replied holding back a sob. "Where's Roman?"

"He's not decent at the..." The Queen said at the same time as Sebastian said. "He's upstairs."

"Take care of him." I ordered them knowing that it's probably a bad idea to make commands on royals. But at this point I don't care.

Drake's feelings are all dark and heavy and I can feel the weight on my own shoulders. I walked through their unspoiled kitchen to the mirror staircase and began walking up taking one step at a time.

~ (❄) ~

Drake flinched at every step she made drawing in closer and closer. He faced the wall placing his palms on it to hold him steady.

"Alicia." He choked out feeling the hunger burn in him. "Just wait there."

"Drake what's the matter?" She asked running up the stairs rather than away.

"Stop!" He shouted. She froze on the top step and he felt her intense stare.

"You're the one that called my house. Why are you so upset? And why did your guards attack me?"

I jumped at that but still I can't look at her afraid that I'll see her blood running through her veins. The smell of her is already driving me insane. "They did? I'm sorry."

"Look at me." She whispered.

"Alicia I... I need you to just wait for me downstairs and..."He shuddered then suddenly all that was humane in Drake disappeared. He looked at her hungrily. "Come here."

"W-what?" She stuttered suddenly afraid of him.

He gestured with his fingers for her to come closer. "Step over here." Alicia saw the darkness swirl in his once blue eyes and she could feel the his hunger however she put her faith in him and paced forward leaning her cheek in his outstretched hand. He grabbed her face and closed the distance so he gently licked along her jawline.

She smells so sweet, so delicious.

"Roman? I know what you're feeling." She shivered placing her palms on his chest to push him back. "You need to stop." He wouldn't let her go and wrapped his arms securely around her waist to lock her down.

He ran his finger over the bite scar and it's so sensitive still almost like it was freshly nipped at. The burning tingles ran down her body forcing her eyes to close to enjoy the euphoria before it disappears. He licked the bite sending shocks making it worse and she gasped running her fingers through his hair.

"Roman please stop." She begged as her body worked against her and pressed further in his. He lengthened his fangs and brushed them across her skin unable to control himself and so tempted to finally bite and when she realised he wasn't going to stop she knew she had to. It's just that she remembers how good it felt the last time. The euphoria.

She used all my strength to rip away from him and he slammed his head into the wall staring at her horrified. "I'm sorry Alicia... I'm sorry."

"Roman." No she used his first name and he knows she only does that when she's mad at him.

"Alicia... Please just leave."

"What is wrong with you?"

"Everything. I really think you should just go... I'm going to be leaving now and I can't have you here when I'm so fucking hungry." She looked at him disappointed and confused. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I expected you to have more control."

"Well I don't." He snapped angrily.

"Then why call me over?"

"I didn't and I wouldn't have."

"Oh I see you were going to leave without saying goodbye?"

"Alicia I'm at a point where all I want to do is feed." He paused and looked at her so longingly but it was creepy. Like a snake looking at a helpless mouse.

"Stop it Roman. What is going on?"

"I'm leaving tonight." He gulped. "They want me to go back home early because of the hooded man."

"But that's not just what's bothering you is it?"

"You know me too well. It's incredible actually."

"What did you do?"

"What?" He played dumb.

"What did you do that you feel so guilty about?" He turned away unable to handle her worried stare because he doesn't deserve her concern at all. "Do you believe we were moving too fast?" Drake didn't pay attention to her as he saw the waitress peeking out fearfully through the cupboard. His sudden panic made his breathing hitch and before he realised it he started hearing someone's fast paced footsteps fading away to the front door.

He turned around again realising she had run away. "Alicia!" He shouted while running down the steps. However guards were all ready to catch him before he could reach her and Alicia dashed out of the kitchen and into the living to where the Queen and other prince waited. The queen recognised not Alicia but her running away with a giant wolf following her. As strange as it sounds the running away reminded her of a girl that once upon a time she had known and would run wherever she wanted without a hello or goodbye.

The queen tossed aside the thought deeming it ridiculous and focused on her children.

Drake stilled fought against the guards screaming for her. "Alicia!'

"Stop it Roman." The queen ordered. "It's for her own good. I know you can't see it now but once we return you can solve it all then. I really don't think Alicia is going anywhere."

"She needs someone to protect her!" he snapped outraged but he was let go to move freely around the living room.

"She has the dog." Sebastian smirked. Drake glared at his cocky older brother.

"Exactly." He growled pulling out his phone but his mother placed her hand over his and took his phone.

"I wouldn't try going after her in your current state."

"Just let her cuddle her puppy before you speak to her." Sebastian riled.

"Let me speak to her." Drake ordered his mother trying to reach for the phone. He can't feel her emotions when she's so far away. She's has to be within the same room for him to be able to sense her emotions.

"We have to go. Your holidays are over." His mother said sternly. Suddenly the guards were rushing around making orders and talking to each other through their watches like some kind of secret agents. "Go do something about the girl upstairs." She ordered one of her guards.

~ (❄) ~

For the first time in my life I don't know what the hell to think.

"Alicia." Harry said.

"Just take me home." I begged holding back evil tears that are threatening to pour out.

"We are." I looked out the window and sighed. Did time really fly by just like that?

"Oh." I quickly got out of the car but Harry had grabbed me before I could run inside and cry. "Let go." I said trying to pry my arms out of his hands but he only pulled me closer until he was hugging me close to his chest. "Let go." I said with my tears soaking into his shirt. "Let go." I whimpered but I started hugging him back.

"I'm not going to talk smack about him until you give me permission." He muttered in my hair.

"Liar." I responded.

"I'll buy you ice cream right now if I get to say one thing."

"I have ice cream." My words came out muffled because my face is burrowed in his chest. He playfully groaned and rubbed my back soothingly as I forced myself to stop crying.

"I'll go and buy you lady things right now if I can insult him once."

"Lady things?" I snickered.

"One thing."

I would let him but I can feel Drake's emotions.

He's sad. I can feel that he's sad. I'm so confused. Maybe I shouldn't have run off maybe I should have just did what he said.

But I did do what he said. I left.

Now he's gone. I don't understand what the problem now that I look back on it. He was thirsty for blood, he was angry and startled, now he's sad that I'm gone.

"He had someone upstairs." Harry suddenly said. I shoved him away from me and stormed back to the house. "Alicia!" I opened the front door and before he could enter I shot a glare at him. "You're not coming in." I slammed the door.

My mood didn't shift until late in the night in my room once I started watching some old British comedies on my laptop to help me feel better. I have no idea what to think, and he hasn't even called me to let me know if he's left or not. He's upset, I'm upset but neither of us wants to pick up the phone. I've become the worried girlfriend I never wanted to be I mean I've chewed my nails down to the nub. I shut down my laptop and leaned my head back against the headboard staring out the window.

~ Text him. ~

"He's the one acting weird."

~ Fine. Don't text him. ~

"Should I really? Do you honestly believe it's up to me?"

~ I don't really care. ~

"Thanks."

~ It will blow over. ~

"Says the wind spirit."

~ Can't you just get over him I've never understood these human attachments. ~

"If you're not going to be helpful leave me alone." I felt her presence leave me and my room suddenly bothered me with its silence. "Ugh." I turned on the radio and immediately got pissed off.

'Boys only want love when it's torture.'

I completely lost my cool. "Shut up Taylor! You don't know me! You don't know us you know nothing about our relationship!" I glanced up realising my door was open and my mum just stood and stared at me with wide eyes.

"I'll come back later." She said closing the door behind her.
