Chapter 25 Chapter 25
Jess’s POV
“Oh my god that must have been so scary not knowing what was happening to you”
“I coped now enough about me what are you doing here? They don’t just let anyone in here. Well unless they are not going to let you out again that is”
“She is a new employee. She has some skills that the company thought could benefit us” Kieran told him.
“This cute little thing has skills. Like what? Doing her hair and nails?”
“What the hell. I could out skill you any day” God this guy knew how to push all the buttons to get me mad.
“I can turn into a wolf, can you?”
“Why would I want to turn into a wolf? That is not going to get me anywhere but locked in a cage” I smirked at him as I spoke
“Wow I like this one Storm you need to make sure that she stays, she has a spark”
Kieran smiled at me and took my hand “Don’t worry she won’t be going anywhere”
“What the hell man you’re banging her? You lucky bastard”
“No, I am in a relationship with her. Now stop been a pig and be polite in the presence of a woman”
“Yeah” I threw in “Stop acting like a dog”
We all burst in to laughter. I liked James he was nice and down to earth, and I could have a laugh with him.
“Well, we better keep on going if you want to get home at a reasonable time tonight”
“Okay. It was very nice to meet you James and I am sure that I will get to see you again’
“You better hot stuff. You might just make this place more bearable”
I was smiling as I left the room and closed the door behind me.
“He was nice”
“I thought that you would like him. He was a bit of a, ladies’ man before he was changed”
“How long will he have to stay in that cage?”
“He is being very cooperative so I think that he will be set free and put in his own place in a couple of months”
“How do you mean by cooperative?”
“Well, we have been doing tests on him to find out what in the bite turned him so that we can try and make a cure. He has agreed to all the tests and has answered all our questions”
“Do you think that we will be able to find a cure? I feel so sorry for him been like that for the rest of his life. Wait what happens if he gets a girl pregnant? What will the baby look like?”
“We are not sure about that yet”
“Wait, you’re not going to get some girl pregnant for a test?”
“We will talk about this later. But I can promise that if the test is preformed both parties will be willing”
I could tell that the conversation was over for now, so I walked to the last door the one with the vampire who had hissed at me.
“Ok now this chick is not going to be able to get to me and kill me, is she?”
“No, she will be fine. She is just not a fan of other females”
“Great” I mumbled as I opened the door. Kieran was right she did not like other females, but she sure liked him. As soon as we entered the room, she scowled at me, but her face lit up as soon as Kieran walked in behind me.
“Kieran my darling it has been way too long. What is this that you have brought in for me? Is it a snack?”
“Um no this is Jess she is a new member of the team it’s her first day, so I am showing her around”
“Oh, you’re such a sweetie”
I cleared my throat “Hi I am Jess”
“Jess what a standard name for such a standard human. My name is Bridget. I am sure that Kieran can tell you all that you need to know about me. He knows me inside and out” She winked at me, and I saw Kieran tense out of the corner of my eye.
“What, you mean that you guys were an item?”
“Kieran you mean that you have not told this poor girl how I happened to be here locked in this cage?”
“No, I have not told her about that”
“Well, that’s just not on. Would you like me to tell you the story Jess?”
I nodded. I did not risk speaking as I refused to cry in front of this monster.
“Ok then I will start at the beginning. It must have been 12 months ago Kieran was 18. I was on my own at the time that he came across my path as I had just left my old crew behind”
“How do you mean you left your old crew? Did you have a fight with them?”
“No. When you are a vampire you tend to wander a lot. You might hang with one crew for a few hundred years and then wander off. I had been with the crew for 500 years and thought it was about time for me to go off on my own for a bit. I entered this small town I liked it, so I decided to stay for a while. I bought a rundown farm cottage on the outskirts of town and started to do her up. In the process I met the entire town folk and made some friends. I was not so bitter then”
“Wait a sec but where did you feed? Surely the town would have noticed if people started dying drained of blood”
“Yes, they would have. I fed in the main town. We vampires are very quick runners so at night I would run into the main town have a nice feed and then go back home to work on my house. Any way someone in the man town must have noticed me or something as the next thing I know another newbie had entered town a guy named Kieran. He moved into a place in the centre of town. He was nice to me but did not go out of his way. This of course made me trust him. Anyway, we started to get along as time went by and became good friends. He offered to come and help me with my house as he told me that he was a carpenter by trade. Things started to progress after that. One night he came over and told me about the annual town dance that we been organised. He told me that he had been told that he had to take me along by Ruth the town chairwoman. That sounded like something Ruth would say so I agreed to go with him”
Bridget was watching Kieran as she spoke and so was I.
