Vampire Chronicles 27 Sorrow

Charles carried Nicole to her room in his palace. Since the Court will show up any day by now he wanted to make sure that Nicole blends in with maids and butlers in the manner. Charles decided that it was best for her to become a maid just until the court decides to leave. Once the play was finished Nicole feel asleep in Charles arms. Charles found it quite cute for a lady such as herself to give him this amount of love that he haven't felt in years.

Nicole cuddled up to the soft pillow. Charles sat next her seeing her sleeping form. It made him smile in a way that he couldn't explain ; the world will always be evolved around her nothing is important than the person he truly cats about. Charles slightly touched Nicole's face as she slowly opened he eyes.

"Sorry...I didn't mean to wake you love...I was truly mesmerize by your beauty when you slept. I guess I interfered with that." Charles gave a work smile to her as she placed her hand over his rea.s.suring that him that it was okay.

"It is fine Charles I only wanted to close my eyes for a little bit but-"

The door suddenly flew open as Charles immediately got up form the bed telling Nicole to stay there. A dark figure came into the room. Charles eyes turned red as he spotted the figure pouncing towards her as Charles was able to save her on time an and slam the figure to ground. It groaned in agony as Charles tried his best not to rip its head off as he ripped the cloak off reveling it to be...Jasper.

Nicole covered her mouth in disbelief, she thought Jasper died how was it possible that he was still alive. Did he kill Charles parents? Did he plan on her killing on too? Nicole had so many questions that was unanswered. Charles eyes grew wide with a mixture of anger and sorrow that developed in his soul. Charles saw Jasper as a friend for many centuries it was as if Jasper had planned this to accrue from the start. Is he controlled by the Court to do such acts such as this.

"Jasper....my friend I watch you die...how are you...alive..." Charles took his foot from off Jasper's chest as he extended his hand to him; Jasper got up from his position as he wiped the the dust from his shoulder.

"I am sorry prince Charles..I faked my death yes but..I wanted to be free from this burden ...I just wanted s.p.a.ce. It felt like a whole other world when I actually had gotten a chance to spend time with this lovely women that is by your side. Indeed I did try to s.n.a.t.c.h Nicole from you...I wanted her. I love. her as much as you did majesty. The way you treated her was cruel but you managed to pick yourself up from your demons and replace them with love for her. Sir, was she a p.a.w.n from the start or did you truly see something special in her. All the women you claimed to love made them feel miserable. There were days when your father treated me like a n.o.body I became depressed like a dog that was abandoned by its owner by its best friend and left to die out in the wilderness somewhere....Prince Charles I am highly depressed; Free me from this agony!!!"

Jasper eyes turned into dark shade of purple that reflected his feelings of sorrow that grew inside him over time. Jasper hide his feelings away when he was around Nicole. Deep down inside they were both depressed, Charles always got what he wanted because he was rich and royal. Jasper was just a normal farmer boy struggling to make ends meet with food an what he had left. He never considers himself one of those people with money and fame he considered himself s decent guy with cla.s.s.

Jasper's human life never consisted of such things he cared more about family & education. It was forever changed when he was attacked by werewolves, he was nearly a wreck once they finished with him. Charles saved him from death so he decided it was best to turn him into a vampire. Jasper never wanted to be a vampire but if it would help him to keep on living then then that was only option. Jasper decided to serve by Charles side.

Nicole got up from the bed an slowly walk up to Jasper as he looked up at her with tears that was falling down like a stream down his cheek. She embraced him trying her best to convert him. Jasper hugged her back placing a sweet kiss on her forehead as Charles separated them both immediately.

"Charles what are you doing ? I was trying to support him through this hard time."

"Nicole it is best if you get out from this room..."

"But Charles-"

" I said Leave women!!! Just follow one simple command! Do you want me to place where the peasants is girl!!"

Jasper gripped Charles shoulder tightly. The way he talks to her sometimes make him sick. No lady should be treated with such low treatment from the prince himself. Nicole face dropped with sorrow as she headed out the door.

"Prince Charles how dare you speak to her like that!! Apologize!"

"I don't need to apologize you should be the one to do that for me...Jasper. your my little companion."

Jasper lets go of Charles shoulder as he clenched his fist letting all the anger that consume him into a punch on the face. Charles was surprised by his sudden attack as he fell to the floor. Believe it or not Charles had two personalities that was very much frightening. A murderous devil that killed people only for fun an torment. A different personality were he is a sweet calm gentle man. Jasper had noticed that a witch or some spirit cursed him to act this way, he just couldn't figure out who it was at this point leaving his case to come out cold. It might the Court members controlling his body to do these acts of rage.

Nicole sat in the frighten by everything that us happening. She felt like her life is coming to end, just when things where getting better it turns our to be worse.

"You dare hit your future king...shall I punish you...Jasper..."

"Sir you are not, this is not the person I know over the years. You have changed you just don't know it yet. Sir you have been cursed, I don't know who it is I've been-"

"Lori...cursed me...Jasper!! Her spirit....!!! Now I have fallen in love with one of her dependents! I swear the greenwood family is nothing but troublesome to me..."

Nicole walked up to Charles giving him a force-ful slap to the face as his eyes widened as he was surprised. Jasper grabbed Nicole's hand softly rubbing it as she smiled slightly as Charles pushed Jasper out the way grabbing her neck chocking the life out if her body. Jasper grabbed a sword from the hallway as he comes back in the room stabbing the sword in Charles stomach. Charles lets go of her neck as she coughed violently. Jasper rushed to her aid grabbing her head picking it up with his hand letting his lips kiss her forehead rea.s.suring her that everything was okay. He turned his head seeing Charles pull out the sword from his stomach.

"Jasper why did you do that? What's going on, why is she on the floor is she okay? Wait....I thought you died!!!! I saw you die my friend...I grieved over you...!"

Jasper placed Nicole in the bed as he header out the door wanting to speak privately to him.

"Sir I faked my death for a reason so you can get that curse removed from your body. It's tarring you apart. Your suffering from a personality disorder. Like jerkyel & Hyde..... You nearly almost killed Nicole. So I had to stab you with a sword. It was for your own good...."

"Thanking you for helping me Jasper....I don't want to act this way towards her...I love her to much. Even when I first met her I was in this state of bitterness and hatred that I didn't like....if that mean I have to go with you to this place to get the cure then I will go. I would have to ask lord Vicar to take her in his hands for a couple of weeks or so. "

Jasper nodded an started making preparations for their little trip to find a witch powerful enough to remove the curse. Charles went back into Nicole's room seeing he shaken up by his appearance.

"Darling...I never meant to hurt you...you know that. There is something wrong with me, something I don't know of I'm going to be able to be the man you started falling with me. This person that is inside me is wanting to kill and hurt people for fun...I don't want to be the person. That's why you will be staying with Lord Vicar for a couple of weeks. I don't truth that Percy will keep you safe...I want you to know I love you so much...with everything in me...I "

Nicole teared up a little as she leaned over the bed kissing him pa.s.sionately not wanting this moment to slip by. Charles deepened the kiss slipping his tongue in her mouth. They suddenly heard a knock on the door as Lord Vicar entered in their room with a smile that would make girls go wild.

"Sorry to interrupt but me and Nicole must be leaving it's raining very hard at the moment. I would like to get her out of this terrible state."

Charles grabbed Nicole's body twirling her in the air letting his embraced settled in her mind. He puts her down on the floor as he kissed her forehead slowly walking out the room as lord Vicar had her luggage in his hands.

"Shall we go...Ms.Nicole?"

Nicole nodded with a smile as she head out her bedroom door following Vicar to their destination to the Cloud kingdom.
