Foresight

Continuing With Vivienne's POV:

I thought we would return to the castle but we stopped by a clothes store to pick out some pants for Calcifer. Lamia couldn't stand his nude body much more then I could. She said it was because of all the attention if was dragging to us. She paid for pants and a shirt that would fit him. Surprisingly there was a store in the neighborhood for our needs. She explained on the way in, the store was for pet clothing.

All of it was for average humans.

Do vampires keep werewolves as pets? It would explain the collar and leash I woke up on. I rubbed my neck deep in thought as Lamia took us back up the castle's hillside. As soon as the town was out of our sights I looked Cal in the eyes. Lamia was unguarded.. Could two of us take her on? Just long enough for one of us to slip away?

'Only if you btie her,' he told me as he got the hinted signal I was sending him.

'What do you mean?'

'Our venomous bites can kill a vampire,' he told me. I gasped. That's why he had a few teeth missing on the bite mark. They took out his teeth?!

So, vampires are allergic to our bites, huh?

It's a shame I'm going to shred this dress to escape. I could kill that bitch in one bite! All I have to do... is sink my teeth into her. I was about to step out of my shoe when I saw a shadow move from up the hill. I squinted my eyes to try to see who it was. Suddenly a horse came into my view- on top of the white stallion was Eder. I could hear Lamia groan under her breath as he rode down to us and stopped the horse by her side.

"Are you walking?" He asked her in alarm. His eyes flashed to me suddenly. I got a feeling in the pit of my stomach he had appeared for different reasons. This was the first time I saw him since... His blush.

"My dear husband why would you care?" Lamia asked him defensively. Eder gave her a hand and raised an eyebrow.

"Maybe because you're a queen," he told her. "You could easily be assassinated right now," he warned her. I heard about a dozen horses hit the top of the hill and come into my vision as men rode down to us. They were dressed in a similar military outfit with guns on their hips.

Well shit.

He laughed and I could tell Lamia was pissed as she used his hand to get on the horse. I looked over her pissed expression. Eder smiled towards me. His white hair had been braided to keep neat and he had already put on long boots for the occassion of riding. He was planning this- somehow... Like the dress?

'This must be her husband. He never leaves the castle,' Cal told me as he looked at me. 'Have you met him before or something? The way he looks at you...'

'I think he's just on our side- somehow,' I thought to him as I looked his way.

"How long are you going to keep your guest from her brother? It was very nobel of you to take her to her other brother's match in the arena," Eder looked at his men as they arrived and someone reached down and grabbed me by my waist before picking me up and sitting me on the horse with them. My back hit a set of breast and I was surprised to be met by the stench of human. I figured it would be another vampire. "But Cole expressed his greatest wish to see his sister. I told him she was here and he admitted he didn't know a thing about it," he tsked out.

"It's on the scheduel," Lamia told him and sighed as she looked towards me and frowned. We weren't moving. They were waiting on Eder's command. He had more authority here then I was begining to doubt. He lifted Lamia's chin until she faced him. He leaned in and kissed her passionately. His eyes staying open and looking straight at me. I felt my spin shivering.

'FUCKING VAMPIRES!' Arwen howled out. I could smell her hatred. 'Why is he looking at you like that? Does he have no loyalty to his wife!?'

Now that I think of all this... The man can teleport. Why did he come down here on a horse? He doesn't leave the castle anyways. He dressed for riding. Plus, the way he gave me the dress... Is teleporting the only think he can do? Did he see his wife about to die and came to her aid?

Because I was going to kill her just now.

These vampires will be harder to run from then I thought. Not to mention I'll eventually have to fight them.

Lamia broke away from the kiss first. Her eyes meeting his as he glanced down at her. She raised her hand and gently rubbed his cheek. She didn't look to be falling for him at all. Even with the gentle patting. These two smelled angry. They wanted to kill each other.

"You never come outside," she whispered to him. "Do you like my new play toy that much?" She asked in a teasing tone. "You're not jealous are you?"

"You have so many... why would I be jealous of just one?" he shot back before clicking his tongue. He kicked the horse enough to get it moving and we were all off behind them.

'Do you think he has the power of foresight?' Arwen thought to me. I bit the inside of my cheek. It would make so much sense. He's been lucky with his guessing. If he had been a few minutes late down the hill I could be running free back to my pack. He could have lost his queen.

'Do you think he actually cares about her?'

I wanted to puke at the thought of someone liking that monster. Monster for monster, I guess.

When we got back to the castle- the ride seemed too long. I wanted to get off the horse almost as soon as it started to move. My hips were sore now and burning in pain. I wanted to punch Eder in the face- but I couldn't just let him know I'm onto him. That would probably make things tilt in favor to his side. The soreness in my hips made me realize I would have to stay here for another night just to rest. My eyes landed on his back as he disappeared into the castle. Andrew was waiting at the door- holding it open for us. He looked happy to see us back. Probably glad to know I made it back alive. His eyes gleamed in curiousity on where we had gone. What we had seen. His eyes landed on Cal and he frowned slightly.

"Milady should I prepare another room?" He asked as she walked past him. It was amazing how she didn't even looked phased by being on a horse. Am I the only one dying in pain here? I felt out of breath as I looked for Cal's stamina. His face was flustered as he limped my way. Oh good. It's not just me. I held back a snort as he sent a glare my way. We followed Lamia into the doors without complaint.

"This is Cal, he will be staying here," Lamia told Andrew.

"Should I get an ice pack?" Andrew whispered to me.

"Maybe for Cal," I told him as we looked back towards my brother.

Andrew nodded repectfully towards me. He was keeping up his good charms again. A perfect performance of a door man. I glanced around for Eder, catching him halfway up a set of stairs. He paused to look back down at us. Our eyes met as he suddenly sat down slowly. I broke my eyes off hi as I saw Cole bust out of a set of double doors to my left. He ran straight towards me- I almost opened my arms but he ran past me. I heard the impact before I could see it. He tackled Cal and growled playfully at him as they ended up in the floor.

"BROTHER!" He called out in excitement.

I eyed Cole over and felt my heart sink as I remembered. No matter how much I've spent this time worrying over him he will always have a better connection to my other siblings. How could I forget? I'm chop liver compared to them. I have been out of his life for four year and when I came back I created so much drama that forced him into this new situation. Does he hate me?

I could smell that devil before he even entered the room. His new scent made Arwen howl on high alert. 'There he is,' she shouted. I turned my head back to lock eyes with, Emmett. He was pale. As unfeeling as the rest of the vampires I've met so far. He looked emotionless and empty in those red eyes of his.

"Emmett," Lamia said in surprise as she opened up her arms for a hug from him. He looked at her and entered her arms. "How are you, my fledgling?"

"What's going on here?" He asked her as he pulled back.

He looked at me and I ignored his eyes to look up at Eder on the staircase. He was still there, watching us. Why is he just sitting there? He was specifically looking at me.

"Our plan is coming together. She's a pawn because she's a luna, remember? We talked about this-"

"I didn't realize you would dress her up and let her freely walk about," he grumbled.

Bastard. I growled at him in anger.

"Not just anywhere. I took her with me to get Calcifer from Lyca-"

"You little shit," Emmett hissed at me. I was suddenly pinned against a wall as he held me by my throat and squeezed it- I could feel my windpipe breaking under his strength. I gasped for air- surprised.

"Emmett! She's pregnant," Lamia hissed as she didn't budge to help me.

I couldn't help look towards the empty stairs as my eyes were fading into darkness. Help me, someone. Anyone! I wasn't able to breath. I was scratching at a strong post and trying to get free. But the air wasn't able to reach my lungs. I could hear growling and yells around me before my hearing cut out. I suddenly felt light. Empty. Stuck in dreamland. I must've passed out from the lack of oxygen or maybe he killed me- and snapped my neck. Vampires have been known to loose their tempers and do that.
