Innocent Blood Chapter 11

After dinner Armand took us to the the villa library. There were bookshelves full of many books some of which looked to be centuries old. There was also a large limestone fireplace with a raging fire roaring inside it next to a fine red, velvet couch and fine chairs surrounding it. A well patterned rug was laid out neatly underneath our feet on top of a pine wood floor. There were many old but beautiful paintings on the walls along with a wooden coffee table near the fire with a tray of fine delicates  and more wine. I gathered these men were men who liked fine wine and would not be surprised to find out that each of them had their own private wine collections or spend a lot of money on fine wine itself. As I approached the fireplace I noticed that the sides of the fireplace were carved into the shapes of dragons which was really cool. I then turned to the table and looked at it more closely. The table was also carved to look like a dragon with fine, dark, brown wood. Laid neatly on top was a ice bucket in which a fine green bottle with a golden top was placed in. I gently lifted the bottle up to see where it was from but oddly could not find an origin. However I did find a date 1867 meaning that this was one old bottle of wine. From what I knew about wine was that some wines taste better when left for a period of time. However I didn't think that long. 

"Where's this wine from Marius?" I asked, Marius smiled and walked over, taking the wine gently from me. 

"France again my darling"He then placed it back in the ice box and bent down and picked up a delicate made dark chocolate. 

"Open up" he smiled with a soothing voice to which I couldn't help but comply. He placed the chocolate carefully in my mouth. 

"Thank you" I breathed as it tasted so good. These men sure did have expensive and fine taste. 

"You are welcome my darling" Marius said staring at me. I would have continued looking at this fine man if Armand wouldn't have placed his firm hand on my shoulder bringing me back to reality. 

"Would you like to play a game of cards my love" 

"Sure" I said. Armand went off to get a deck of cards. I then looked around the room. Marius was across from my godfather and they looked to be playing chess as a fine chessboard lay in front of them. Bruce looked to be concentrating really hard while Marius's expression was focused but unreadable. Louis was laying on a nearby couch reading Dorothy Grey by Oscar Wilde while Micky lay asleep on an armchair beside the couch. I then realized that Lestat was no where to be seen. 

"Maybe he went to bed" I though just as Armand entered the room carrying a small wooden box. We took a seat on the rug beside the fire as it was nice and warm. Armand then opened the box to reveal two fine, decorated decks of cards. They were so pretty. 

"Right we'll start off with old maid, you know how to play that right?"

"Yep"

"Right let's play". Armand then quickly shuffled the deck before evening out the cards. As we were happily playing Lestat then appeared and proceeded to offer the wine out to everyone. 

"Do you want wine Armand?"

"Sure thanks" Armand said not looking to Lestat but focusing intently on my cards trying to prevent getting the old maid. 

"Do you want something love?"

"No thanks Lestat"

"Alright". Lestat then seated next to us and watched us play with interest. On the final round I managed to pick the card I needed leaving Armand with the old maid. 

"Wohoo" Lestat chanted making everyone look at us as I hugged him as he was like my little cheerleader. 

"Did you win pet?" Louis laughed as he could see Armand with his arms crossed mumbling about how the hell he lost. 

"Yep" I smiled walking over to Louis who sat up and pulled me against him before laying back down with me resting against him and a book in front of us. Armand then sat next to Lestat and they began talking, having got over his loss. Meanwhile both Marius and Bruce who deeply concentrating. Louis then leaned into my ear and began reading Dorothy Gray like my mum used to do. I couldn't help but settle into him and close my eyes listening softly. It was a real comfort for me. I must have fell asleep as the next thing I knew Bruce was softly shaking me to wake me up. I groggily opened my eyes and moaned. 

"Come on pet bed" he laughed as the guys chuckled around me. I tried to get off Louis but couldn't as my limbs were not working. I managed to get up somewhat but fell back down to the amusement of everyone else in the room. 

"Alright come on your wrecked" Louis chuckled standing up with me nestled in his arms half asleep. Marius walked over and kissed my forehead. 

"Good night little child" Louis then walked around the room almost as if he was parading a new sleeping infant. 

"Goodnight my darling" Armand spoke softly in my ear. Lestat then nuzzled me closely before kissing me on the forehead. 

"Good night my darling sleep well". I moaned a reply to say thanks to which they chuckled at making me blush. 

"Goodnight munchkin" Bruce laughed "Hope she's not too much to handle Louis?"

"She's fine but so cute" he chuckled before walking with me out of the room and upstairs. He then brought me into my room and gently laid me down on the bed, tucking me in. He then kissed my forehead and leaned in. 

"I'm right across the hall if you need me, Lestat is next door and Bruce is next door to me if you need us. I made a little moan to say thanks to which he chuckled and quietly left the room. I then went off into a peaceful sleep.
