She could not believe how stupid she had been in that moment. How could she not notice the way Edan reacted to Alastar? Was it not her role as a predator to notice these things? Angelique did not doubt her keen sense of perception, but she momentarily wondered if Edan's kiss threw her off. the moment lingered in the back of her mind, and she wondered how she was going to react to him. Her mind had been preoccupied with the remembrance of her family.
For all those years, Sebastian had been brainwashing Angelique. Every time that there was the slightest chance of her remembering her past, Sebastian shoved those memories aside. He transformed her into something of a monster. Angelique was still a monster, but she was proud of it. Yet, she wondered: how much was too much? Sebastian tortured her, digging his hands into her body and nearly ripping out her organs. Would she herself go that far?
Before she could answer her own question, Angelique was snapped from her thoughts by a familiar voice. Beside her stood Kasey, who Angelique felt that she had not seen in ages. Not since Sebastian tortured her. Angelique forced a smile for her friend through her solemn thoughts. Behind it, she raised her guard and angled her body towards the infirmary's doors.
"Kasey...this is my brother, Alastar. Alastar, Kasey." Angelique did it without glancing back at Alastar. Her voice was still and steady like Sebastian's. "Kasey, can you excuse me for just a moment? I was about to say goodbye to a hurt friend."
She paused for a moment, her eyes focused on Kasey. Crossing her arms, Angelique entered the infirmary doors. The nurse merely glanced up at her. Angelique walked until she stood by Edan's side. Her crossed arms only loosened, not dropping at her sides. Angelique fixed her eyes on the mortal body. The vampiress's nostrils flared and gathered the sweet, metallic bouquet of blood. She stared at the pulse on his neck before quickly glancing away. Her crossed arms tightened a bit.
The sweet bloom of thirst raked down her throat. Hunger gurgled deep in her belly. Angelique, the always hungering vampiress, wanted to eat Edan, and not in a pleasurable manner. "Edan, I need to leave you alone for a time, but I will be back." It felt foreign to reach out her hand to brush his, but she was afraid. "Bye."
Afraid of what? Hurting Edan? Or becoming Sebastian, her once-father and master? Both. Her eyes tentatively met Edan's before she darted outside to return to Alastar and Kasey.
