Chapter 34: Trip- Part 2
I went to the locker and stuffed my books inside. While I walked, I saw Trent with two other people. He had his arm around the girl.
"Look it's the new girl, showing off her hickeys," the girl spoke loudly.
"So true, Kendra," Trent spoke to the girl he was holding, "And here I thought she was innocent." They laughed at it and I rolled my eyes. Jobless people.
I left the place ignoring whatever they spoke. I met Ruka outside; he was waiting for me like he told he would.
He looked at me skeptically, "Did something happen?" he asked me.
I shook my head no and gave him a smile, "Where are we eating?" I asked him changing the subject.
"You'll know in a few minutes," he kissed my cheek.
After lunch in a classy restaurant, Ruka and I had been to gallery admiring the art. We later came back to the castle and were in the music room.
I was sitting and listening to him play the cello. The music it produced was sensual and consuming. I wish I could play like a pro too. He knew to play all the musical instruments.
The next week we came on the trip and were finding the cave now. Well not everyone was on his or her way to the cave. It was just our group consisting of Lizzy, Bella, Louis, Kyle, Derek and me. Ruka had come too but he was with Leo and other teachers.
"Where is the stupid cave?" Lizzy grumbled.
"I think we have to take right," Kyle said rubbing his chin.
"No, we have been taking right," Bella said looking at the map, "Kyle being a werewolf its a shame you can't find where the cave is," she said disappointedly.
"Hey! you girls are vampires, shouldn't it apply to you too," he scowled.
None of them could track the cave because the place we were in now was once used for war, no matter how good persons tracking senses were, they were of no use. So here we were walking in circles. Derek was amused where as Louis was getting irritated. He wanted to go back and sleep.
"I'm sure its this way," Bella said. After fifteen minutes we had finally found the cave.
"Finally," Louis sighed.
"Let's go in," Lizzy dragged Bella and me excited.
It looked like a medium-sized cave from out but as we went inside, it looked big, having steeps and slopes. All of us had lanterns in our hand. It was utterly dark as went further. I couldn't believe people used to live here before. As it was used during wars, werewolves and vampires sight didn't work nor did any torch or electronic item. There was no light except for the lanterns we had lit before going in.
"Oh no!" Lizzy groaned.
"What happened?" we asked simultaneously.
"The oil is out!" she replied bringing the lantern close to her face.
"So is mine," Bella said holding up her lantern.
"Didn't you guys check if there was oil in it?" I asked them.
"Lizzy was given the task," Bella said pointed her finger like a little girl.
"I told it to Kyle."
"I forgot," Kyle said sheepishly, "We'll share."
"Let's just hope none of us run out of it," Derek said, lifting his lantern which had the light falling on the ceiling of the cave.
"Ah guys," Kyle said unsurely looking up.
"Is your lantern out too?" Bella asked worriedly.
"Look up," he said as he stared up and all of us raised our head to see millions of bats above us.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!" we screamed disturbing the bats and they started flying everywhere, making us girls scream even more.
"Ouch," Derek said. Wait where was he?? It looked like Louis, Kyle and I was the only ones having a lantern now.
"We need to get out-right-now," Lizzy stressed every word in panic.
"My lantern fell down," Derek groaned in the dark, "And why are you scared of bats?" he asked confused.
"Let's head back now," Louis said tired, "and stay close. Those are cousins with the pirhanas, bats that suck blood," he explained before we got out of the cave as quickly as possible. Once we got out, our eyes took time to adjust with the light. We came back to the building where we were staying. Rest of the evening we were in our room playing indoor games.
During the second day, I went to the kitchen to get some water. While going back someone bumped into me.
"My favorite person." It was Trent and I groaned. "I wanted you to meet some of my friends," he said making me flinch and grabbed my hand.
"Let go of me," I said trying to pull my hand out, struggling.
"Mr. Gray." Thank god it was Ruka. He came forward and held his hand, "We haven't met before, I'm Mr. Reed," he said with a certain edge in his voice.
"Ah hello," Trent replied letting go of me.
He is an idiot, he didn't know what was going on and shook his hand but Ruka didn't let go of it.
"I've heard so much about you," Ruka said, he had a ghost-like smile etched on his face, and that's when I heard the crack sound, "You've been warned to stay away from her yet you keep coming. It makes me feel you have a thing for my mate," Ruka said cooly.
Trent's eyes went wide then his face turned into a painful expression and I heard more cracking. That's when I realized Ruka was crushing his bones with his hands.
"Ahhh," Trent yelled in pain, "I'm sorry," he tried apologizing.
"Too late for that," Ruka replied laughing, "Love, why don't you go up. I'll be there in a while," he instructed me.
"Please don't-"
"I won't kill him," Ruka assured me, "I need to have some talk with him." I nodded and went up. Trent was in so much trouble.
Chapter 35: Surprise- Part 1
Ruka's POV:
"So..." I said. Once Eve had left I had pulled the boy named Trent in my room. I had crushed both his hands completely. It would take a month to regenerate the bone as he was a lower rank vampire.
A lower rank vampire had the same lifetime as the humans, the only thing was they survived on blood and stronger compared to the humans but not as strong as the higher ranked vampires did. It was like a half-breed.
"Enlighten me why you were asking Eve to come with you a few minutes back," I told looking at him. I could see him trembling slightly, making me smile internally.
"I-I was just joking," he stuttered, I could make out he was lying.
"You know Trent," I said taking his hand and he winced at what I might do, "I hate people who lie."
"I didn't know she was your mate," he said in fear.
"Hmm let's make sure you don't do it again," I twisted his arm back and he screamed in pain. After inflicting some more pain on him I told him to get out.
My wolf wasn't pleased with such small torture, he wanted blood but at the same time please his mate. Eve had asked not to kill him.
Louis had informed me about yesterday's events. He gave an up-to-date information about whatever happened, be it inside the school or outside. The whole area we were in was an anti-ground for werewolves and vampires. Witches had put a spell making our eyesight and smelling senses of no use.
Lizzy had piqued an interest in Eve regarding the cave. My clever cousin had asked her to get permission from me as none of the teachers had given the permission. Looking at her brown innocent eyes I had them go.
I went up to her room and saw they were playing cards. Looking at me she folded the cards and got up, walking towards me.
"Is he still..." she asked me carefully.
"Yes," I replied putting my arms around her and she sighed.
"I'll be going out for some time," I told to which her head rose to meet my eyes.
"Out?" she asked her eyebrow knitting together.
"Yes, my wolf needs a run," I replied to her and saw her eyes lit up.
"Can I come too?" she asked me eagerly.
"You want to?" I asked her and she nodded her head happily, "Let's go then," I kissed her forehead.
We were walking on the grassy fields and had come far away from the camping site. I began taking my clothes out making Eve turned around quickly in other direction and I laughed.
I felt my bone cracking and in a few seconds, I had transformed into my wolf form. Eve had her back turned on me; I went near her and nudged the side of her leg with my head, making her gasp in surprise.
She turned back and looked at me. My fur was pitch black and my wolf form was big.
"You look gorgeous," she said in awe, I laughed at her comment, which came as a bark.
Getting down she ruffled my ear earning a low growl from me, I nuzzled her face when she came near, earning a giggle from her.
She sat down near a tree, while I ran in wolf form. After that I went and sat next to her, placing my head on her lap.
"I always wanted a mate," she spoke as she brushed my fur lovingly," Wondering if I did have one, would I get a vampire or a werewolf. I got both of them."
"Can you not publicize me being your mate, like it'll be awkward during school hours," she said softly.
I heard her speak as she went talking about her childhood, listening to her intently. At one point she spoke how she found me hot. Later grabbing my clothes, I changed back from my wolf form. I swept her off her feet then.
"So my mate thinks I'm hot, huh?" I asked smirking slightly and she nodded smiling. Using my vampire speed we reached the site and let her down.
"Eve, I need you to get ready and meet me an hour later," I informed her.
"Where are we going?" she asked me.
"I need to meet someone for some work. I would like it if you came along."
"Okay," she said leaving. I would feel at ease having her near and didn't have to worry.
Eve's POV:
We had arrived at the palace after an hour where Ruka was going to meet a person called Benjamin Arrow. I had worn a collared shirt and skinny jeans.
"Ruka," a curly-haired man greeted whom I assume was Benjamin.
"Benjamin," Ruka said looking at the man.
"How can I help you," Benjamin asked with a smile, he was a tall man and looked at me, "And who might this beautiful lady be?"
"This is my mate, Eve," Ruka introduced me while his hand was on my back.
"Mate? That's new," Benjamin said curious and bowed slightly," My Queen."
"Hello," I said awkwardly.
"I needed you to work on the attack that's been occurring lately in the west," he spoke.
"Why not send Leo?" Benjamin suggested.
"His hands are full guarding the school," Ruka replied.
"Hmm," Benjamin thought for a while, "Let's discuss in our study shall we?" as we walked I tugged Ruka's arm.
"What is it, love?" he asked me.
"Can I look around?" I asked him, I would be bored for sure if I went inside the study.
"Okay," he agreed and kissed me before leaving.
I roamed around the palace taking my own time admiring it. I wonder what attacks was Ruka talking about and I had no idea Leo was looking after our school. Louis was excellent with his studies; I guess he is around for the same reason.
As I walked I felt someone's presence behind me, I turned around ready to swing my hand.
"Eric?" I asked shocked, "Oh my god it's you," and jumped on him.
