75. Give her a flower in my name
"Calm down Clara please." James begged. He was breathing heavily. Fear and tiredness were the most of what he was feeling right now.
Clara ignored him and stormed outside in anger. James thought of going after her but he knew better. He sighed a sigh of frustration still he was relieved.
He wasn't ready to die yet and with the state Clara was in he was sure that if he pushed her more she wouldn't think twice about killing him. After all she was only with him for the sex and she could get the sex anywhere else. No slave boy would not give in to her demands.
However his relief was cut shut when Clara came back in with a bleeding Clarissa. Her left hands were wrapped around Clarissa's neck with her fangs pierced into her. Her canines were out too. She looked dangerous.
"Here she is your nosy girlfriend. Couldn't you not have chosen someone better, someone other than this thing?" She said to James quite degradingly. Then she turned Clarissa so she was facing her, Clarissa was scared. She tried to free herself from Clara but she wasn't strong enough. She knew this and didn't even put much effort to it. "Do you know what they say about the curious cat?" Clara asked tauntingly.
Clarissa whimpered. "Curiosity kills it always but, satisfaction rarely wakes it up." Clarissa started to cry having been made more scared by Clara's words.
"Let her go." James pleaded fisting his hands but not daring to fight Clara.
Not only was he a coward, he was pathetic and in love with a monster. He realised it just then. He realised that between the two women who stood before him now he loved one and only one and that one was Clara.
He was on pants only and he knew his relationship with Clarissa was ended. He didn't want Clarissa dead though. He would forever have to live with the guilt of her death and he didn't want that. He didn't want her dead at least not on his watch.
"She has been lurking in the corner. That's where i found her in the corner like a little rat. I'm not going to let her go and you do not tell me what to do!"
"Do you know what I do to rats Clarissa? I kill them." Clara said calmly then almost immediately she threw Clarissa to the wall.
Clarissa screamed. Her spine broke but she healed immediately. She had heard of Clara's vicious strength but feeling it first hand brought her more pain that she ever imagined she could feel.
She was used to pain but not fear. Although she had no wounds she was tired and scared. Too scared to fight. As a new vampire she was no match for Clara she would have done better as a warlock even.
She regretted tailing James. He didn't even deserve it. Pathetic. He was pathetic and she was too. Both of the pathetic! She thought.
However, she tailed him not just to confirm that he was indeed cheating on her and to catch him in the act but also to find out more about Clara.
What pleasures her, what enrages her. She wanted to find out anything and everything about her. There was nothing more Favorable than knowing every little detail about your enemy. Their likes and their dislike, their fear and desire. Everything.
She needed to know More things about her than herself. Knowing your enemy was important but now__ she was going to die for it. Her life was more important.
Clara blinked to a weak Clarissa who was kneeling helplessly on the ground. Clara then knelt down besides her. She raised Clarissa's chin up so their eyes met. Then she started to speak in her most threatening voice. "Why were you outside? And don't even think of lying to me. I will know and you will pay for it. Now answer, why were you outside?
"Looking for my boyfriend James." Clarissa answered trying not to show how scared she was. But her voice and demeanor betrayed her. She was shaking so bad you would think she was suddenly inflicted with high fever.
"Clara please don't do this." James begged. He was scared all the more now. Even he himself could tell that Clarissa was lying how much more Clara. He knew he meant nothing to Clara but he couldn't just watch without doing anything while she kills Clarissa. "Please give her another chance. I beg of you please." He begged.
Clara immediately looked up at him but her face remained emotionless. She turned back to Clarissa and exhaled. "For you James I will show mercy. Just this one time. For you."
" Now Clarissa I will not ask again. Why were you outside? Keep in mind that if you lie to me I will drain every drop of blood in your miserable body. Every single drop until you become as white as snow." Clara said calmly. All too calmly. Now her words didn't take the shape of a threat it sounded more like a promise.
Clarissa shivered and choked. There was no other way she could survive this ordeal if she didn't say the truth. The realization hit her like a rock and she swallowed having accepted defeat."You took me away from my family. You destroyed my life. You turned me into a monster, into that which I hated the most. You ruined me." She sobbed.
"So I guess you want revenge? So what's your plan?" Clara chuckled daily. Her face remained as scary as hell. "Common tell me. I want to hear what a low life like you can come up with."
"Clara" James called moving closer to her in a bid to help Clarissa. He was getting more scared with each word Clara spoke.
"Shut up!" She ordered and he did. "Do not bite more than you can chew or i assure you, you will choke on it!" James immediately retreated. He balled his hands into a fist but again he could do nothing. He was weak. Clara again faced Clarissa.
"Common tell me What's your plan doll or do you want me to torture it out of you. I can very well do that! I have many ways to make you talk if you don't want us to have this conversation like civilized people. For starters tell me how will you feel if I bring your brother to you now, How___
"To befriend the Queen and make her hate you and when she does I plan to convince her to_to force you out of the kingdom!" Clarissa said in a rush. She immediately became panicked at the mention of her brother.
Her life could be threatened but not her brothers life. Oh! Not her little brother. It was her duty to protect him and she would do so at all cost.
"Now you shall continue with your plan as if you were never caught lurking like a little rat! But there will be a slight change in your plan. Now what you have to do is to befriend the queen and then when you have done this I will give you a flower that you are to give her in my name. Do you understand this?" Clara asked harshly.
Clarissa nodded.
" I don't want to have to put you through the trauma of watching your family die but that is exactly what's going to happen should you think to play smart. I'll give you the details soon doll." With that Clara blinked leaving James and Clarissa behind to sought out the issue she knew she had caused but didn't care less.
James tried to speak but could not. What would he say. He is pathetic. He was ashamed.
He tried to touch Clarissa but she threw him with such force he broke his backbone.
"You are pathetic! Very pathetic! I hate you with every fine of my being. You were made to be a slave. Once a slave, always a slave!" Clara screamed before she ran away in tears.
