Monster Academy - The Blood of Mermaids - Chapter Twenty-One

Castle of Myths
Rose chuckled as she watched Darren set her bags down in her room. "Oh...what a sweet vampire you are.. " she ran her fingers down his spine and grinned at him. "We are going to have so much fun.." her head spun though as her door swung open and her younger sister Alex stood there glaring.

"Get your hands off him Rose." She had a fierceness in her voice, challenging her older sister. All Rose did though was scoff at Alex.

"Oh Alex, Shouldn't you be off on your honey moon or something?" she smirked at her and this only infuriated Alex more.

"I said...Get your slippery, scaly self off my boyfriend.." Rose's eyes widen in surprise and she looked toward Darren who was still under her spell of the sorts but was struggling for control over himself since she wasn't paying attention to him.

"So..my little sister got her self a boyfriend, what a pity." she chuckled viciously and cruelly. She didn't care what Alex wanted. She wouldn't back off so easily.

"Huh..? what happened? Alex?" Darren looked at Alex, he seemed to be spacing out.

Alex stared at Darren, tears rimming her eyes, and choking on her words, "I loved you Darren...and I still do...I donºt know if you still feel the asme way for me...but..if you do I'll be waiting...waiting at the cove for you...if you don't come...then I'll leave to marry Seren.." she wipes the tears off her cheeks, and took the silver ring he had given her a year before off her finger and set it on a counter...she stared at him longingly and then turned away.

Rose laughed, and walked back over to Darren, "Now that that's over with...where were we?" she smiled at him, nibbling on his ear and her fingers tracing his body. But Darren was Distracted, the spell was broken on him, he was to strong for the mental mind tricks.

He pushed himself away from her, glaring at her disgusted, with both Rose and himself. "Get away from me...I love Alex not you...and she loves me not that Seren guy...and I'm going to stop her."

All Rose did was laugh and lay on her bed, looking at her watch, "Well you better hurry then, she's leaving soon and if she doesn't leave peacefully, well..lets just say she'll be escorted by her prince charming to be." she laughed cruelly, as a panicked expression spread across Darren's face...and he started running.

He wasn't going to let her get away that easily, and he wasn't going to wait 10 years to see her again and tell her how he really felt...
