Chapter 214 Lady Of The Night (38)
(Northern Region- Outskirts Of New Atlantic City)
(Castle Eden- Palace Library)
"Useless..."
"Useless..."
"USELESS!"
Camilla groaned with frustration as she picked up another book and skimmed through its pages before placing it down on the growing pile on the side.
Damn it.
Why was there no useful information anywhere?
The beautiful female vampire pursed her lips together and tried desperately to drive a certain image from her mind.
Whenever she closed her eyes all she could see was her human pet's fragile and soft lips as she devoured her.
The blush on her face... the hint of arousal in her eyes as they kissed... her soft and welcoming tongue.
Camilla's legs slightly rubbed together as her imagination filled in what would have happened next if she had stayed.
She would have tossed the human on the bed and...
And...
Camilla lowered her face and blushed furiously as certain images flashed across her mind and most had to do with Mary's gorgeous naked body.
No. She had to focus.
With a great deal of effort, Camilla snapped herself out of her pleasant daydream and absentmindedly picked up another book.
The library was completely empty.
After she had run away from Mary, Camilla had immediately headed towards the library, so she did not know what her servant was currently doing at the moment.
She could use a tracking spell to determine her location but to be honest she felt a little bit embarrassed and unsure of what to do next.
Why had she suddenly kissed her human pet like that?
She didn't even get to hear what had happened yesterday when the mysterious intruder broke into the castle...
Camilla let out a heavy sigh as she buried herself in the book in front of her and tried to drive those distracting thoughts away.
She was not having much luck.
Most of the information on the Sun- Born were scarce and for good reason. Vampires that encountered a Sun-Born human usually died.
And they were so incredibly rare that it was generally accepted that a human with the potential to become one would only appear every couple hundred years.
Thank goodness... otherwise vampires would have been wiped out a long time ago.
If vampires were humanity's natural predators, then the Sun- Born played the same role but this time the vampires were the prey.
All Camilla could find was descriptions of battles with the Sun-Born, how their eyes would glow with the light of the sun... their limbs were covered in golden runes and...
Wings?
Camilla furrowed her brows as she thought that she had misread that sentence.
There was a description in the book she was reading of a Sun-Born who was capable of flight. It was only a single sentence... almost a throwaway line.
Huh... she hadn't seen that mentioned anywhere else...
The beautiful female vampire recalled her own encounter with a Sun-Born all those centuries ago and could only confirm the first two descriptions since he definitely did not have any wings.
Maybe it was a mutation? Or a hidden technique?
This was a fascinating tidbit of knowledge that she just learned but it wasn't exactly what she was looking for.
There was nothing on the psychological effects of living in close proximity to a Sun-Born nor what would be the long-term effects of drinking their blood.
Honestly the only information that she could find was a warning to never drink the blood of a Sun-Born since it could kill regular vampires.
Sigh... was she really on her own?
Camilla closed the book and leaned back against the wooden chair. She could feel a headache coming on and slowly rubbed her temples.
Maybe this was all a mistake.
What was she thinking trying to tame a Sun- Born as her servant? It was akin to a mouse trying to raise a cat as its loyal stead.
But what could she do about it now?
Kill Mary?
Camilla immediately dismissed that idea as soon as it appeared in her mind. For some reason she was reluctant to see any harm come to her human pet.
There was a light knocking noise coming from the door that blocked the library's entrance and Camilla did not have to use her tracking spell to know who was standing outside.
"Come in..." Camilla spoke softly as she heard the door slowly open.
Mary stepped inside the room with hesitant steps. She saw her mistress sitting down in front of a massive pile of books.
There was an awkward moment of silence as neither one of them said a word. Mary's fingers curled up into a fist as she steeled herself in her heart.
It was now or never.
This could turn out be a huge mistake, but she needed answers.
"Mistress..." Mary spoke with a slight tremor in her voice as she asked the question that was weighing down in her heart.
"Why did you kiss me?"
Camilla froze in place and slowly turned away so that only the back of her head and her neck could be seen by her servant.
"Do... do... not question me pet. I simply wished to drink your blood," Camilla coldly replied as she refused to make eye contact.
"No. I want the truth," Mary aggressively stepped forward and a hint of gold flashed across her piercing green eyes.
"I... you don't have to kiss me to drink blood. In fact, you haven't kissed me for months... why now?"
"Mistress I... I... my heart is a mess... I can't tell if you like me or are just playing with me. If you are just playing with me then... please stop it."
Mary closed her eyes and waited for her punishment. She had just done something incredibly stupid.
Was she going to die?
Camilla was a powerful vampire capable of killing her with a mere snap of her fingers and yet... she had just boldly demanded answers from her.
There was a brief moment of silence as Camilla did not know how to react. The logical part of her wanted to scold her servant for being so presumptuous but...
She could feel the sincerity in Mary's words, and it was making her long dead heart skip a beat.
"Human... no... Mary... truthfully... I do not know," Camilla opened her mouth and decided to be honest.
She got up from her chair and walked towards Mary with slow purposeful steps that echoed through the library.
Camilla's crimson red eyes met Mary's piercing green ones and strange emotions bubbled up in both of their hearts.
"When I see you... I want to kiss you... I want to claim you... I want to make you mine," Camilla hoarsely whispered as she stretched out her fingers.
She lightly caressed the left side of Mary's cheek and had to resist the urge to kiss her soft inviting lips.
"I intended to make you my dog but... I find myself strangely reluctant to hurt you or do what needs to be done," Camilla continued in a low whisper.
"What have you done to me Mary? Why do I feel this way?"
"Is it because of your nature as a Sun-Born? Or... is it... something else entirely?"
Camilla stepped forward until her lips were mere inches away from Mary's lips. She wrapped her arms around the young woman's body and pulled her into a tight embrace.
"I know one thing for certain..." Camilla seductively whispered, and her voice sent pleasurable tingles down Mary's spine.
"I will never let you go."
