Vampire Chronicles 69 Distance Pt 1

Nicole and Jasper kept there distance from eachother starting the day where she wasn't going to be able to sleep at night because he wasn't there. This is the first time they held such a meaning less argument which left both of there feathers ruffled. Jasper knows not to stay mad at her forever, he wanted to apologize for las.h.i.+ng out at her in the heat of the moment. Everything she asked for she got though Nicole didn't ask for hardly anything she was probably to scared for ask for anything not to be spoiled rotten to the core. Jasper flipped through the doc.u.ments that came in this morning describing the details of the corpses in the masacure. He wasn't in the council but but Vicar a friend of his use to be a member even in the Court. As he reads through them he heard a knock on the door as it opened he saw Rowland and Lucius enter the office quietly.

Jasper expressed annoyance as he looked up "What brings you to my office the both of you, if its about Nicole let me here it."

Rowland bows and nods his head "The lady is sleeping soundly milord, I overheard some rumors the servants was stirring about Lady Nicole. They say she might be something unG.o.dly but she is human and they know no better. How would you like me to take care of it."

Jasper looked at Rowland an back at the papers "Hmm Kill every last one who speaks such ill manners about my wife. They must gace forgotten who I am. We will get them replaced immediately if necessary, are the workers finished indoor garden. She wanted white roses in the garden."

"Yes lord Jasper everything will be taken care of as Sir Lucius he have came here today to discuss something to you. I shall take my leave Lord Jasper." Rowland bows leaving Lucius and Jasper in the room. It was silent enough to hear a bird chrip outside in the cold weather.

Jasper sets down his pen and gets up from his chair walking towards Lucius."You came to see me about something Lucius, I'm busy with my work."

Lucius had white hair and golden eyes he was young but strong in the eyes of many who looked up to him as a warrior. He bows at Jasper not wanting to upset his king any further he had heard news of Kings Phillips and Zora's death it shaked him up to his very core.

"Forgive me your highness I wanted to discuss some matters with you about the wars that I had fought about the one that is coming soon. I met Lady Nicole she seems so innocent and kind for such a young women. I didn't know liked them that young milord.

Jasper folds his arms together "What we have together is something private not worth sharing to people. I received a letter from the council to keep the lady's of the palace inside at all times. They could possibly be murdered by an unknown force. What caused the ma.s.sacre was poisoning which turned the humans skin covered in black holes."

"So it seems the rumors were true the d.u.c.h.ess of Darkness really kept her word when she said she'll start a war for all to hear. Did you know the d.u.c.h.ess once fell in love with a human. That male was duke Aldo of the Apple Kingdom before it fell to ruin, they met at a ball that took place in the kingdom. Chantelle stood out from the rest of the woman there she wore all black from head to toe. He apporached her an asked for a dance so she accepted that was when they fell in love. They spent so much time toegther that the King himself got mad an told Aldo to stop spending some much time with the d.u.c.h.ess. But he didn't listen which lead to his death, when she found his body something dark awakened in her. So she killed every last living thing that walked throught that kingdom she held hatred deep on her heart and plans to take revenge for death of her beloved Human Aldo."

Jasper frown going back to his desk sitting down"So its simply revenge I understand now. She wants to make sure we Kings feel the same way she did when the king killed Duke Aldo. Is there something else you would like to share with me?"

"Yes Milord of that's okay with you"Jasper gave it some thought but he wanted to hear more of what he had say "Speak than"

"Your wife may not know this or not but long ago she was once cheif of her fathers tribe the vampire hunters. Seems like that memory of hers is not so great milord, You may find this a shock but your wife is something to not mess around with. I'm telling you from experience from my people, Ottawa also said she is quite powerful but she has yet to awaken her potential.

"Is that a joke Lucius? I expected much better-"

Lucius cut him off saying "Milord I mean ever word of what I said. I recommend you be careful with that wife of yours she wI'll eventually die and what will you do about your children?"

Jasper glared at him"You talk quite a lot for such a young Warrior like yourself, keep that same energy on the field. I'm surprised my father even selected you to be his right hand man.

"Please do forgive me my highness, so that will be ha.s.sle a of trying to take care of them unless you use force. Maybe you could use your skill that you was brought up from Lilith and use it on the unborn children."

"Your telling me to kill my unborn kids, that will crush my wife's heart. I don't need her getting upset it could effect body which isn't a good thing. I'm not that heartless as one would think but I see your still yapping your lips was my threat not good enough for you."

Lucius chuckled "forgive me milord seems like you can't take a joke. Anyways there is more things to discuss right now about this war, I even bought a few prisoners in the cellar for. They might have the information needed-"

Jasper gets up removing his jacket and rolls up sleeves of his dress s.h.i.+rt. "Like I said you talk to much.Just take me to the cellars, but make sure she isn't in the hallways or anywhere close to lower level of the castle."

Lucius opened a door for Jasper "Of course Milord went practically invisible at this time. I made a puppet of yourself sitting at the desk working."

Jasper leaves the room as Lucius follows; Nicole sits quietly in the guest room reading a book that goes several years back about the d.u.c.h.ess of darkness. Dixie and Ruby linked their minds with her so they could talk in secret. She knew what would happen to her if she left the castle on her own, Jasper knew about it but wanted to keep that kind of information away from Nicole not wanting to frighten her. Rowland who was behind her waited for anything she had wanted but she hasn't said a word since yesterday. His master had ordered him to not take her to the lower part of the castle as to were Jasper tortured people if he felt he was in the mood for killing relentlessly for his pleasure.

"Rowland where is Jasper, I want to see him"

"Forgive me Milday but the master has told me to not let anyone visit him for today he is extremely busy from what I'm being told."

Nicole sets down her tea cup an puts her hands within one another "Is he doing work at the office Rowland? I want to at least work right bbeside him."

"Milday why don't you stay here and I will get you some more tea"

Before Nicole was able to say anything Rowland left the room immediately leaving her alone. She wasn't going to sit here and not do anything so she decided once Rowland have left completely she will find him on her own. Though she didnt know what she was about to discover that day.
