All Chapters of Vampire Empire: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"En-sorry." I looked uncertainly at the deep bite on his arm. "I didn't mean ... I ..." I started, but wasn't sure how to express that I had acted like I was drinking from someone for the first time. Even I was kind of embarrassed."It looks worse than it is, just ... please don't tell anyone about this." Did he mean he had given me his blood? As if I could ever say a word about this embarrassment. Nodding, I agreed and Gerard dropped his arm to his side unnoticed and his grip on my back loosened. Almost as if I had permission to withdraw from him now, but the only thing I could think of was the fulfilling flavor in my mouth."You ..." I started, but what should I say? 'You taste excellent'? In the worst case, Gerard would hold that against me forever."Please don't ask. I can't explain it to you now. ”Not explain what? I really wanted to ask that, but something in his gaze prevented me from doing so, so I nodded again and smiled slightly. Perhaps there wa

The older a vampire got, the stronger he was. So a five-year-old would always be stronger than a three-year-old younger, but weaker than any older person. However, every maker, regardless of age, had a certain amount of control over his "child". No matter how old, or even if it became stronger than its creator himself through influencing means, he still had the power over it. It was very similar to mind control, like the one we use on our blood donors so they can live peacefully with us.Still, it went much deeper. It was like a bond that you could never break. A bond that even made it impossible for the child to kill its maker. It was probably something of a ... natural hedge. Just as Mother couldn't be killed by her eldest son Michellé, Isles and I couldn't kill King Michellé. Unless he allows it. Not only did it rule out murder, however, but the Creator could even force his offspring to do things he wouldn't.Michellé had me under control in the

My first steps off board the ship were a bit shaky. Not because I was getting nervous, no, it was more because someone hadn't fastened the stairs properly and I almost fell into the water with Louis.He took it with humor, I less. To go back to my old "home remedies," I had put on my tried and true "evil eye" since Gerard had sent me to move. Now, like the two vampires, I also wore a black top and black pants. Now almost nothing differentiated me from the vampires I was supposed to live with. At least as much as I knew about her so far. And unfortunately that wasn't much.How then? All the while, my mind was on Gerard's secret. I had never tasted such delicious and, above all, intensely tasting blood. I was still licking the inside of my teeth and nibbling impatiently on my lower lip, hoping to find a tiny residue. Was that what it was like when you drank from another vampire? Or was it something else? I had been so curious since then that I snorted in frustration seve

The limousine, which drove first and which included the king, stopped after an hour and forty minutes in front of the government building of the vampires, which was in Bordeaux, the most economically active city in France. The driver slid around the car at a leisurely pace and opened the car door for the vampire king. Through the darkened windows I could see some tourists, like local residents, turning to the car and some even let out a deep sigh when they saw King Michellé. To women it was more than attractive, but it was mutual. Michellé lived exclusively on young women, although I admittedly could not taste any difference."Gerard, go to the castle and make sure Isles begins her training straight away."I actually wanted to follow my lord and king, but he intentionally blocked my way so that I could not get out. "If that's your command?" I asked, hoping he'll change his mind.“We are in France, Gerard. You better take care of my needs thor

I called you, an annoying bitch!" I repeated irritably, because actually I would not get involved in such a fight of words at all."Spoiled buck!" She hissed at me and tried to get out of my much stronger grip. "Failed bastard!" She continued to scold skillfully."If you want to keep your tongue, you better control yourself on the spot!" I warned, as calmly as I could."You should listen to Gerard." Louis finally supports me, but he had the fatest smile on his face that I had ever seen him. "If hecalms down, he's on the verge of ripping off someone's head." Isles blew her hair off her face and now glared at Louis with the most destructive look I had ever seen on a woman. Her dark eyes swore that this girl would cause trouble! "You could help me, I'm being crushed by a three hundred ton truck rightnow !" Now she called me fat too? This girl would do something like this ..."Gerard, get off her!" You are the older one, so be the wiser one to

After a little less than two and a half hours, we arrived at the castle of the vampires. People had no access here and the windows had special glazing so that nothing unusual could be seen through them by chance. Given that we had our headquarters on the outskirts of Toulouse, it was quite lively and as good as the entire southeastern vampire tribe had their headquarters here. There were exactly two clans in Europe. The Tobonneau, who rule from France to Spain and Italy.And the Redvers, whose seat was in London and stretched across the sea to Germany. Well over a thousand years ago, one of our families still belonged to the whole of today's Europe, but at some point this strong clan split in two. Now we only rule over a part, but the Tobonneau Clan had withdrawn for progress and the free countries have been fair game since then. Everything that happened afterwards was your own fault and it was better not to bother the kings.Louis I arranged to carry the still "dead"

Take your paws off, Chloé.""I just want to taste it!" Defended the one just mentioned."That belongs to Isles when she wakes up," a third voice scolded. All three appeared to be feminine if I wasn't wrong now."Two bottles? I don't think so, sis. ”That was Cloé again, who just seemed to be walking around. Presumably so as not to have what she supposedly stole from me."Cloé! I'm warning you! ”It was a fourth, rather harsh voice, but I was sure it belonged to a woman.“Oh, come on! We always get so little werewolf blood. Should we split that up? A bottle! I promise! ”There was a scream and something broke.“Very well done, Lucie! Now the lamp is broken. She was my darling! ”Chloé seemed to give up, because afterwards the first spoke again. “That's what you get, now give it to me. Thank you! ”The bed on which I was undoubtedly lowered and someone touch

Chloé got out of bed, and I followed her, and she pointed to Aurora. "But it was her idea."Aurora, who sat gallantly like a real lady, on a very old-fashioned chair, as if she belonged there, waved her off. "What. That was a minor matter. ”Aurora just seemed to be proud of what had happened, for which Louis cursed her again, in French of course."Give us a few more hours with her, please mon coseur."Louis shook his head firmly. “I'm sorry, Manon. But the seven of you have really gone too far. Nowlet's go . ” Manon indicated to the women, including me, that we would go to surrender to our fate. Chloé put her arm around my shoulder as if I were her new best friend. "Don't worry, I'll take ... almost all of the blame."She received an annoyed sidelong glance from Aurora, which made me laugh. The women became more sympathetic to me with every passing second.“You'll see, it's not that bad here. At least i

Several floors down, Gerard stopped. He had pulled me through the rows of some young vampires locked in white cells. All of them were a good two years older, or at least that was what Gerard said, although I looked a lot better than her.Their skin was an unhealthy shade of gray, their pupils were dilated thanks to the low lighting down here, and each one of them looked like a drug addict trying to abstain. "Oh you ... shit ..." I whispered to myself and just couldn't take my eyes off them.Gerard had stopped with me and finally released my arm from its iron grip.“They are young vampires, none of them are older than four years. When they are five they are moved up one floor, when they can finally control their thirst and learn everything they need in their new life. ”I felt my legs suddenly go weak. Is this how I should have ended? Exactly like that, gray, worn out and trembling, King Michellé just wanted to leave me on a small island

Of course not! "How did you even get this completely shitty idea?" I yelled at him. He couldn't be serious, could it? The day got worse and worse."That's the punishment for the kiss and my pants." Warned Gerard and I now also noticed the torn pants on his bed. For a moment I grinned at my genius, but then I remembered my hair.“But that's my hair! This is ... this is assault! I'll report you! ”I pointed at him, furious, but Gerard didn't seem bothered at all.“You and which dish? You don't even understand our language. ”I hissed and the need to go to his throat grew stronger. At some point ... I threatened him internally. At some point I will be strong enough and let him suffer! “Right now I really wish I were strong enough to rip your throat out!”Gerard sat on the bed and patted next to him. "If you don't have a drink soon, because you clearly couldn't take the last one, then you won't even be able to get a d
