Cursed Blood |Lesbian Story| - Chapter 45: Chapter 45

We walked out of my house, heading toward a shiny limo parking not far away. There were several other cars with vampire guards standing outside. Then my mother emerged from the car. And we rushed toward each other.
"Mom!" I cried, running into her waiting arms. We hugged and I started to cry like I was five again, but all my fear and worries had rolled off my chest. Mom was safe at last. I couldn't bear the thought of losing her. I wasn't going to lose anyone in my life again.
"I'm alright, honey," Mom gently rubbed my back, "I'm sorry I made you that worried."
Then another man crawled out from the other side of the limo. I recognized him immediately. Dimitri came around, smiling at me. I released Mom and bared my teeth at him.
"You kidnapped my mom?" I snarled.
"Honey, don't be rude," Mom hushed me. "Lord Dimitri was your father's best friend. He just came to meet you and me."
"Excuse me?" I said, turning to look at my mom.
"I have a strong sense of responsibility to protect you, your highness," Dimitri said with a bow.
"What?" I asked again, still suspicious with this guy. I guess it was because the last time Octavia and I had tried to meet him; his bodyguards almost finished us for dinner. Needless to say, I wasn't so keyed up to see him again.
"You're just a strong replica of your father," he mused. "Such a strong young lady."
"Don't change the subject," I said.
"Vivienne," Mom said with a warning look.
"Young half-blood, I'm here because the Royal Council has been investigating your existence," he simply replied. "And most importantly, I have promised your father to look after you, little one."
"How could I trust you?" I said. "The last time I went to you, your guards almost killed me."
"I have already punished them for their disrespect, my dear," Dimitri said. "It was just a misunderstanding. They didn't know who you are. But if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have known it was you."
"What do you mean?"
"Who else could take down the true-bloods like that?"
Then he turned to his bodyguards with a look. A few familiar guys came forward timidly and placed their hands over their chests.
"We ask for your forgiveness, your highness," one of them who I remember was a tuxedo guy said. His head still bowed, "We will do whatever it takes to protect you."
"Oh really?" I asked sarcastically.
"Viv, that's enough," Mom said.
"Alright," Dimitri puffed his chest and extended his arms to me, "I'm just so glad you're still alive and kicking, literally...but wouldn't you mind giving me a bear hug or something?"
I looked at him with a scorn.
"Okay, never mind," he said and dropped his hands to his sides again. "Living too long might have damaged my sense of humor."
I heard Alyssa snickered from behind.
"Anyway," the lord continued with a bright smile, "I've come here to ask you for a favor."
"A favor?" I narrowed my eyes at him again.
"Yes, I want you to stay in your school and keep yourself safe there," he said. "I have prepared the guards to watch over your mom. If there's anything stir up in the Underworld, you'll be informed, but don't ever get out of school again, promise?"
I didn't know what to say and just stared at him blankly. My mom was the one to speak.
"Thank you, Lord," she said. "You're such a great help to our family."
"I owed a lot to my Prince," he said, "It's the least I can do."
Later, we found ourselves sitting in the limo back to the Ultara Academy. After a tearful reunion with my mom, everything was back in place. Mom examined everyone for injuries, but she found no scratch on me nor on Alyssa and Jacque, except Cammie. Her hands got bruises. Cammie blamed herself for being too soft, and this was said from a girl who had crushed every single undead she'd encountered.
Jacque said she needed some rest, so Alyssa let her sleep on her lap. I was less worried now. And Dimitri seemed like a nice guy, especially after I discovered that he was also a vegetarian like me (well...a different kind of vegetarian, because he drinks animal blood, though, not like me).
We didn't talk about what had happened in my house, I didn't want to traumatize my mom even more. Then we dropped her at the hospital. She insisted that one of her patients needed surgery tomorrow. I almost wished I needed a surgery too so that I could be with her for a long while, but Dimitri said I was so wanted by the vampires, both living and dead, which meant my presence around Mom might also add her to the danger list.
While we were on our way back to the Ultara Academy, Alyssa started her usual questioning with the vampire lord.
"How did you meet Viv's father?" she said.
"We were best friends since we were kids," he said, "We both were born and raised in Leningrad together."
"Where?"
"Present day St. Peterburg," Cammie told her.
"And are you really four hundred years old?" she asked.
"Yes, dear," Dimitri said. "But in vampire year, I'm still quite young and handsome."
I tried not to gag at that, but Alyssa just went on.
"So are you married? Do you have any kids?"
"No and no," Dimitri said.
"Why not?" Alyssa said. "I thought living vampires could procreate."
"Well, if my partners were like seahorses, they would get pregnant a lot," he said with a laugh.
And as much as I tried not to like this man, I had to burst out laughing. I just couldn't help it. Cammie and Alyssa looked at me. And later Cammie was next to explode into laughter. Alyssa just sat, staring blankly at us.
"I don't get it," she said.
"In biology, male seahorses carry and give birth to the babies," I told her.
"Which means he's playing for the other team," Cammie added with a giggle. Alyssa's eyes grew large as she looked at us and then back to Lord Dimitri, who was smiling like a shy schoolboy.
"I still don't get it," Alyssa finally said. And Cammie and I gave a loud disappointed groan.
Finally, we were back to the mansion. I had to thank Dimitri for stepping in to protect mom and all. Maybe I shouldn't have been so judgmental about him. At least now, I realized there were good vampires out there, too. Like my dad.
The four of us walked back to the suite without any problems. As we moved along the hallway, Jacque suddenly swayed to the side. She put her hand on the wall for support.
"Jacque, are you okay?" Alyssa came to hold her.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"I see this coming," Cammie whispered.
"Let's get her to the suite now," I said and we all helped Jacque out.
Once we got inside our room. We lay Jacque on Alyssa's bed. She was quite pale and looking weak. Alyssa seemed worried.
"What should we do now?" Cammie asked.
"You guys should get out of here," Jacque said weakly, her eyes were pure black now. "I don't think I can hold it longer."
I could feel the hungry need of energy in her voice. It was just like me the last time I got weakened by bloodlust.
"I can give my energy to you, Jacque," Alyssa volunteered.
"Alyssa!" Cammie said. "It's dangerous. What if she drains you again..."
"Cammie...can't you see how much she has changed?" Alyssa said. "I trust her."
Then she got on the bed with Jacque and started removing her clothes. I guess she was worried out of her mind, and that was a bit odd.
"Alyssa, what are you doing?" Jacque said, staring at her and then back at me. "Please, get her out of here."
"Alyssa," Cammie stared at her in disbelief. "Are you really gonna..."
"Stop it, both of you!" Alyssa snapped at Cammie and Jacque, "It's a matter of life and death here."
"Cammie," I said, "Let her do it. We can't leave Jacque. She saved Alyssa and she's our friends now."
Cammie bit her lips and then she hissed.
"Fine, I'll wait outside," she finally said and then turned to walk away. But I gripped her elbow.
"No Cam, we have to keep an eye on them," I whispered. "Stay in here."
"And watch them having sex?" she whispered back. "Don't you know it's like watching your little sister..."
"I know! But it's better than leave them alone. If Jacque lost it, we could prevent the bad thing in time," I explained. Cammie bared her teeth and sighed frustratedly.
"Oh, great," she muttered. Then we backed away from the bed. Alyssa started unbuttoned her blouse and then threw away her bra. Her naked petite body made me blush. Then she got on top of Jacque and started kissing her.
"Okay...let me know when you're...er...done," I called out awkwardly before leaving them.
Then Cammie and I settled on the sofa with our backs turned away from Alyssa's bed. Cammie didn't look too happy. She flicked on the TV and we watched whatever it was on screen in silence.
"Oh my god, you're both still here?" Alyssa yelled.
"Don't mind us!" I called back without turning around. "Pretend that we're not here."
"Oh for god's sake!" Cammie groaned. Alyssa was too busy to do anything about it either.
From the reflection on the plasma TV, I caught glimpses of Alyssa and Jacque making out. They both were sitting on the bed, kissing passionately. I guess Jacque could no longer resist our little friend. Her hands were roaming around Alyssa's smooth back and down her blushed back cheeks. They rocked on each other, making the bed squeak. My face burned hot. I turned to Cammie, who looked like she was struggling to ignore everything. But obviously, we were witnessing the same scene.
Alyssa started moaning audibly. I could hear her heartbeats going faster along with Jacque's. They groaned and gasped in ecstasy, turning the air in the room thick with their arousal. I wrinkled my nose in embarrassment. And then the two continued to wrestle horizontally around their love-making arena. I fought the urge to cover my ears as their moans got louder and louder. Even Cammie had to grab two pillows to squeeze against her ears while lying down on the sofa with me.
"Oh J-J-J...Jacque! Oh god..." Alyssa cried. I gripped Cammie's shoulder, feeling quite alarmed by Alyssa's reaction, but then our friend just went on, "...I'm... I'm coming."
I almost fell off the sofa.
"That's it!" Cammie sat up. "I need to bang a girl....or maybe two."
"Cam!" I said but she already stormed out of the room like a tornado. That left only me. A moment later, the pair was also quiet down. They both must have reached their moment of truth together.
"Alyssa," I breathed and rushed over to the bed. By the time I reached them, Alyssa was sleeping on her stomach. Jacque put a finger to her lips to shush me. She tugged the cover over Alyssa's bare shoulders and smoothed her hair gently. It was a little weird that Jacque was smiling, looking even better than her normal state. Her face blushed brightly. Her eyes sparkled with life. And what was more surprising was Alyssa was almost looking contently the same. It was like the two of them just had a casual satisfying sex.
"Is she okay?" I said quietly. Jacque turned to me and smiled. I wonder if she was high or something.
"She's asleep. Don't worry," Jacque reassured me. "I have no idea where she got such energy from. She was...amazing."
I watched Jacque leaning over and kissed Alyssa's cheek. Her dreamy eyes kept staring at the sleeping girl without even realizing it. Whether she knew it or not, Jacque was clearly falling for my best friend, too.
"I think she got it from love," I said.
"Love?" Jacque looked at me.
"Yes," I said, beaming. "The most vibrant energy in the universe."
