Chapter 7

Bella's POV

I watched as the doctor neared me. He seemed pretty normal but I can't tell who's what now.

A low growl emits from my throat. The dormant anger towards vampires for the brutal murder of my mother that I witnessed and the disappearance of my dear sister, manifested.

It seemed to startle him as he jumped slightly. He turned to look at the vampire, alarm written all over his face.

I almost smirked.

I'm sure I look a little bit smug.

When he turned to me to say, "I'm doctor Lucien. And I get that you're not feeling well, Bella."

He tried cautiously while the vampire watched our interaction closely.

"Piss off, turd!"

Okay that just slipped out. I wasn't even planning to say that.

"Uh...alright... but let me check you up first then I'll be out of your hair." He raised in hand in surrender. It is ironic since he's persisting.

I rolled my eyes.

"I'd appreciate it if you stay away from me!"

I don't how or when the prince moved but he was in front of me in a second, gripping my neck.

He looked very scary. His eyes were red and his fangs were bared, piercing his lower lip.

My heart beat quickened.

The dude is scary as hell, how did he get me to be here in the first place?

"Listen, you pest," he snarled. "Don't test my patience. You won't like what'll happen when it runs out!"

I gave him a shaky nod and he was out of the room before I could even blink.

After the doctor left, the prince came in and told me to shower because I "stink" .

He sent a slave that seemed to be my age, she provided me with a plaid mid thigh red and black checkered skirt and a black backless bodysuit with a plunging neckline with 5 inch red glitter stilletto.

I just grimaced. "Don't you have normal clothes?" I asked.

"All the pets and slaves are to wear what's provided to them by the King and Queen." She recited, sounding like a robot.

Okay... she sounds creepy as hell. Not to mention the blank expression she had on her face. They probably brainwashed the poor girl. And the King and Queen she speaks of, I really wish to leave this place without seeing them.

"Uh... alright." I muttered awkwardly. "I'm just gonna... go" I pointed to the prince's door that leads to the bathroom.

She shook her head and started dragging me outside the room.

"Wha... where are you taking me?!"

"To the slave quarters." She replied.

"Oh." I muttered as I yanked my hand from her grip and walked confidently.

I'm retaining bits and pieces of my memories but so far I know about the vampires and their cruelty. They have killed my family.

This is their territory but there's something familiar. I know it's not how it looks but there's something telling me to snoop around and find out. And this hatred that I habour tells me a story. A story whispered by a silent ghost, the silence craddles me but it's all in vain for there's still a fog preventing me from seeing what I once saw and experienced.

After a long walk with the mute, we finally reach an oakwood door with an engraving that reads 'Slave Quarters' in gold. She opens the door and ushers me in.

It's like we are in a different place, far from the palace. The furniture and decor is far less dramatic. It's homely well...I guess they treat the slaves with respect. The room we were in was lavender in colour, had dark wood floors and a normal white ceiling, it had couches, chairs and bean bags of different colours and it was very huge therefore, having a dozen of fireplaces and TVs. The rugs looked so good I wanted just lie there in content.

But the right wall had a very wide hallway at the middle. She led me there.

"What's your name?" I asked.

She turned to stare at me like I've grown two horns and composed herself to give me a cute small smile.

"Mandy." She muttered shyly.

Mandy, Mandy, Mandy. Somehow the name saddened me and I felt a pang in my heart but I fail to understand why.

Mandy looks dangerously beautiful with platinum blonde hair and amber eyes with specks of green shining in them. One could get lost in them. Everything except the colour her eyes and hair reminds me of this other singer named Ariana Grande. The curls of her hair bounced as she walked. Her body hidden in her uniform. The only thing I picture now is kissing her and exploring parts of her--

I shook my head. I can't have those thoughts. I need to focus on what I'll do here. Some slaves were resting here there were human from what I gather but I frowned as I saw a two vampires chattering amongst the sea of humans yet no one felt uncomfortable.

I grabbed Mandy's arm and whispered, "There are vampires here too?"

I saw and felt her shiver. "Uh.. um wha- uh yes. Yes there are vampire servants too." She blushed deeply and I just smirked at the fact that I affect her.

"Ahem, this way!" She speed walked.

The hallway had two doors, one that is marked H and the other one V .

"Humans. Vampires. This is where we're going." She points to the H door.

Duh! We're humans.

I just rolled my eyes. We got in.

Wow. Just wow.

Zero privacy here. The hall was huge. And I mean HUGE. It was filled with bunk beds on both sides. The right wall was painted in pink whilst the other was painted in pastel blue. So girls and guys are separated but still together. Stupid.

I saw another door opposite to the one we just walked in through and there was another door a few meters away from it. What it is with this place and its doors.

She led me to the door and walked in but the door read 'Head Maids'.

As soon as we entered, I was slapped with familarity of this place.

The slave leads me up two floors and into the room, shows me the small single beds and points me to the one on the corner.

"The queen will call when she's ready. Don't do anything stupid," with that said, she exits.

I throw myself on the bed and let sleep engulf me.

I've been here before. The place is exactly the way it was days ago.

A wave of dizziness comes over me. I hold my head in my hands and fall.

"Oh!!" Mandy exclaims. "Are you alright?"

I try to nod and stand but I collapse and darkness fills my vision.

*****

I hear a familiar voice shouting in anger.

"Why-- sudden-- you--- alright!"

"Sorr-- thought-- few days-- didn't expect it to happen today..."

I could hear the sentences clearly now.

"Yeah but you didn't mention she was going to pass out again!"

"I-I'm s-s-sorry sir. Her body reacts differently to situations."

I groaned and sat up. I watched as they both turned to me. Mandy standing in corner, the relief on her face could be spotted from afar.

"How do you feel?" The doctor asked.

Glaring at him, I spat, "What's it to you?!"

He sighed and looked at the Prince.

Sebastián just glared at me. Hours ago I would've cowered in fear but I raised my eyebrow and glared back.

He seemed to be taken aback but it was just for a second.

"Leave us." He said authoratively.

Mandy and the doctor got out.

He slowly walked to me. "You dare glare at me"

Sigh, "mu me me me mi!" I mocked. "Well I guess you were quick to wipe my memories off before I could even introduce myself. Listen, Sebastián, I'm not one of those humans that are quick to do your bidding and kiss your ass. I'm Isabella Haines and I don't give a shit if you're pale as a sheet and you have fangs, live in a palace and think you have power over me and every human in here.

I do what I like whenever I want so fuck off. Oh and to answer your stupid question, Yes, I'm quite daring so be prepared, Your Majesty."
