Chapter 10

Chores. Chores. Chores.

That's all my days ever consist of. Before I even wake up Ronan's gone to god knows where. It's a good thing though because I'm able to clean without him around to yell at me for something. By the time I finish doing my list I'm so drained of energy that I pass out right after I'm done and hours before Ronan arrives back to his room.

It's been 2 weeks since I've been here and I haven't seen Ronan since my second day. Other than that life's kinda boring and relatively the same. None of the other maids or servants or just anyone talk to me. Every time I enter a room that they're all in they leave immediately without a peep.

I've talked to blondie a couple times. His name is actually Bryce but I still call him blondie. Bryce is actually really nice and has a good sense of humor surprisingly. He's the opposite of his brother, he's more laid back and a bit reckless doing what he pleases.

"Whatcha thinking about there" Bryce comes up behind me flicking my head.

"Why are you the only one that talks to me. Like all the other people flock like birds as soon as I enter a room. Whys that?" I question seeing if maybe he knew the answer to everyone disliking me.

"That'd be my brother" he chuckles more to himself.

"What?" I ask confused.

"You don't know?"

I shake my head not having a clue to what on Earth he's talking about.

"Ronan's never bought a slave before" he says seriously.

"Wait what do you mean he's never bought a slave? There's almost a hundred other humans here besides me." I'm even more confused now. How can I be the first slave Ronan bought? This only raises my curiosity.

"They're from our parents and it took them a lot to get him to agree to have them here. Ronan's not a big fan of having slaves because he doesn't get along with many people. Also Ronan demanded that no one is to be anywhere near you unless he says so or else he will and I quote 'rip their throats out' so that explains that. Isn't my brother such a loving being" he smiles and exaggerates the last sentence.

"Then why did he buy me?" None of this makes sense. Bryce lifts his shoulders and drops them.

"I don't know beats me." And with that he walked away like always at the same time everyday to do whatever it is he always does.

I stand there still in the same spot for what seems like forever just thinking over and over again how I'm the first slave Ronan's had willingly. Maybe he accepted having slaves so that's why he bought me. Or maybe it's something else. Whatever the reason I'll find out somehow.

I was surprised to come back to my well Ronan's room to see him there sitting at his desk his face in a pile of papers working consistently. He didn't notice my presence until I closed the door and his head snapped up from the clicking of the door closed. I notice he's wearing glasses and man do they suit him well. No Mia snap out of it. But it's so hard when his hair falls ever so graciously over his one eye making me focus on him even more. My fingers itch to move his hair back and run them through his locks to see if it's as soft as it looks. He then switches his gaze back to the pile of papers in front of him.

I turn away and head towards the bathroom to bath myself from the filth and sweat coating my body.

Once I'm done and dressed I walk out of the bathroom I don't see Ronan but I see a girl with raven black hair and piercing bright gold eyes. Her skin was pale and free of any blemishes giving her a crystal clear complexion. She gives me a warm smile and starts to move towards me. As she comes closer she opens her arms and gives me a hug. I'm frozen in my spot and my arms dangle at my sides not sure to stay still or hug her back.

Probably noticing my uncomfortableness she lets go of me and takes a step back all the while the smile on her face never leaves but only grows.

"You must be Miabella!" She exclaims a little too excitedly. Before I could reply to her she grabs me by the arm bringing me to sit on Ronan's bed next to her.

"So how has my brother been treating you? He's never been a fan of slaves. Well I'm not either but what size do you wear? Maybe we're the same and you can share. Maybe I can get Ronan to let me to take you shopping. Oh my god we'd have the best time" she rambles and bounces on the bed a couple times. I'm glued to my spot freaked out from her behavior. Wait she said brother. Ronan has another sibling well a sister?

"Sorry. I'm probably freaking you out. It's just I don't meet many people or have many friends because I'm a part of the roy-" she begins but is interrupted when the bedroom door is slammed so loud that I'm surprised it didn't fall of the hinges or none of the wood cracked.

"Lia what are you going in here? And why are you talking to my slave no one is to be near except for me" Angry Ronan is the Ronan I've been trying to avoid since my second day. I move behind Lia involuntarily out of fright.

"Would you stop with that you're scaring the poor girl" she says back to him. Wait is she sticking up for me? Maybe we could get somewhat along even if she was a Pureblood. And help me find a way out of here.

"Don't tell me what I can and can't do with my slave Amelia" he retorts his eyes getting darker and darker by the second. Oh no he's going to use me to get his anger off. I'm surprised when the raven haired girl walks about to him as if she was asking for her death wish. I'm even more taken a back when she ruffles with his hair and laughs at him.

"Oh big brother why are you being such a hard head I only wanted to make a surprise visit by coming back home early" she tells him giggling as his eyes flash back to normal and has an irritated look on his face.

"Well I'm glad you're back but that doesn't give you a reason to be cozying up with my new slave" he retorts back. She just rolls her eyes at him and comes to sit back next to me on the bed I'm still glued to. She gives me a genuine smile before turning back to Ronan.

"She can be my friend" she smiles while being serious. This causes Ronan to laugh. Man I didn't know it was possible for a laugh to sound so hot. It was like music to my ears and I could listen to it on repeat for everyday of my life. He should laugh more it suits him well and it's not his usual blank demeanor.

"She's a human" he spits out while he says human as if its poison to him.

"So I like that about her. She won't try to use me like everyone else" Lia yells back in defiance. Ronan looks at the ground while shaking his head. He then brings head up and runs his hand through his hair and rubs his face. I wish I could do that. No. No I don't. My mind seems to be constantly playing tricks on me.

Ronan's eyes meet with mine as in searching for an answer for all the problems in the world. He sighs looking defeated.

"Fine. But I swear if something happens I'm locking you in the dungeon for the rest of your life." Lia's eyes widen in shock and then her smile grows and her pearly whites shine in happiness. She jumps on me giving me another hug except this one lasts longer and is stronger.

"We're going to be such great friends I know it" she whispers in my ear giving my body a squeeze. Maybe everything won't be so bad now.

Lia and I were currently walking the halls of the mansion. This place was beyond beautiful everything is placed in just the right spots in just the right shades. This home was a masterpiece.

We begin to walk down a hallway with candles lined down the walls emitting light onto the centuries of old pictures and their frames. Looking at all of them and the names that are listed below. These are their family members since the last names are all the same and the same blue eyes are found in all the males and all the same gold eyes in the women.

Except one picture. The man's eyes are the usual blue but the girl's is a deep bright emerald green with specks of purple. How unusual. Not thinking before my actions I looked towards Lia and see her already looking at the same picture with admiration and sadness in her eyes.

"Why are her eyes green unlike gold like all the other women in the pictures?" I question. Her green eyes mad her stand out even more. All of the women were beautiful but this one, her extraordinary orbs made her beauty stand out and gave her a look of purity and something else that I couldn't quite put my finger on.

"She was human."

I turn towards Lia confused. Did she just say human? All the other pictures were of Purebloods. Why is there a human?

Lia begins to continue, "her name was Evangeline but most called her Eva. And the man was Charles, he's my great great grandfather, he was one of the first Purebloods to lay foot on this ground. That was back in 1708. It was during a cold war. Humans began to know about our existence and would stop at nothing to kill our kind. But there was said to be a prophecy and it stated that one of the purest Purebloods was to fall in love with a mortal or in other words a human and when this was to happen all wars would stop and be replaced with peace. Charles and Eva were the prophecy. All the madness stopped and humans and vampires lived in harmony. They experienced love like no other human or vampire ever could. Since they were destined and completed the prophecy it gave them the power to live immortality together. In other words she was able to live long like a vampire but not be one. But it came to an end almost 5 years ago when they were murdered going on their annual anniversary trip they took every year. Every since then it's been nothing but chaos. There's said to be a rebirth of the prophecy but no one knows for sure or when it'll happen."

About 5 years ago is when their kind started to rise. They been in existence all this time? But that means if nothing every happened to this human and vampire then I'd still be living a normal life and still be with my family and friends.

"Come. It's getting late I should get you back to Ronan" she softly speaks as we start to leave the hallway. I look back once more just thinking when will the next prophecy happen?

We make it back to Ronan and I's room. As I'm about to walk in Lia tells me goodbye and walks away to her room. When I enter I see Ronan on the edge of his bed with his head in his hands. Not sure of what to do my feet start to move on their own towards his figure. I didn't know what I was doing it felt like someone else was controlling my body. I felt hardness as his muscles tensed as tingles formed from my hand touching his back. He straightens up so his focus is on me instead of the floor. His stare is deep, deeper than he's looked at me before. There's emotion in his eyes that I can't quite grasp. But as soon as it's there its gone and if I blinked my eyes I would have missed it.

"You should get some sleep piccolo uccello" he spoke tenderly breaking the silence between us. His voice leaving goosebumps on my skin and accent leaving my stomach churning in a weird sensation I've never felt before.

I nod my head in agreement and start to head to my room. I pull the covers out and place my body in them. I didn't realize how tired I really was until my head fell on the white plush pillow. I closed my eyes welcoming my dreams.

In the mirror was a beautiful and pure girl. Her hair was elegantly pinned up and a vail was placed to cascade over her eyes. Her eyes were outlined and shiny bringing out her bright green eyes. The contour and highlights of concealer and foundation brought out her high cheekbones and jaw making them look sharper than usual. Her neck is covered in pearls starting small and getting bigger until you reach the center. Accompanying her body was a white dress that hugged her curves and puffed out at the waist like cinderella. The heart neck line was covered with flowery lace as for the rest of the dress was lace, bejewels, and some feathers expanding all the way down to 8 feet trailing behind her. She hears a voice calling her name telling her it's time. She takes one last look in the mirror studying the girl in front of her and smiles as the the reflection smiles back.

She walks through the open doors to be met with a trail of white roses. People surround all around her as she walks down the thin space open just for her. She lifts her head up from the ground to see those deep blue eyes already looking at her. He gives her a loving smile as he stands waiting for her to join her on the altar. This is the day they've both been waiting for.

When she reaches him he takes both her small fragile hands and encages them with his. Their eyes sparkle with infatuation as the tingles on the skin start to feel like fireworks.

He manages to slip the diamond band over her finger as it fits perfectly. She then follows his actions with a silver piece. And they finally hear the words they've been waiting for to complete their forever.

"You may kiss the bride."

My eyes shoot open. Sweat beads down my face and covers my body. My clothes stick to me like a second skin. I look around my surroundings to see I'm still in my room and by myself. It was just a dream. It felt so real. I remember everything little detail which normally doesn't happen. It was me in the dress. It was my big special day. But it wasn't just mine. It was Ronan's too.
