reaching my last straw.
“Is that a threat? Is this the part where I'm suppose to shake in my three inch heels?” she asked, then she laughed outright, hand coming to her mouth coyly.
I wanted to slap her, I think Xavier felt my anger and he pulled me out of the room. I would like to think he separated us for her safety, but I knew she had to be some sort of shape-shifter and my silver earrings wasn't a useful enough weapon to go against her with had we actually came to blows. It was a wise decision on his part.
“What's with her, Xavier? Why is she picking on me!?” I asked him, hoping he could give some insight.
“She and Darian were lovers,” he said. I had an inclination that they were lovers. I hoped they weren't lovers still, I decided to ask.
“Are they still lovers?” I asked apprehensively. I wanted to know, but then I didn't. I would hate to find out that Darian was courting me, while sleeping around, that is a definite “no-no” in my book.
“No. When he met you and decided he was going to court you, he had stopped seeing Elise. That is why she is giving you a hard time, but I'll talk to her.” Xavier said, then he looked around the room and frowned. “We cleared out the bodies earlier, why don't you look around, see if you notice anything that would form a good connection...or do you think the club would be a better location?” He asked, he searched my expression as if trying to ascertain my feelings at the moment.
“Well, I'll look around the mansion, first. But I do think the club would be the better location,” I said. “Warren and I went there last night and earlier today. We checked the dance section, garage and Darian's car, but that was before the club was ransacked.”
He nodded. “I should have thought of that earlier, it's just my mind...” his voice trailed off, he put his finger tips to his temples and closed his eyes.
I suppose vampires can get headaches or at least frustrated to the point of discomfort just like humans.
“Living here with Darian has been wonderful. Darian is always in control, the atmosphere which he controls is always perfect and now, without him here, we have this chaos. I've never had to deal with anything like this,” he looked at me and smiled sadly.
“Everything will be alright, Xavier.” I said, trying my best to console him. Xavier was still worried that Darian would go rogue and everything that was once perfect would be destroyed. I did not want that to happen either, I really cared about them and I didn't want anything bad to happen to either of them.
“Come on, we've got work to do.” Xavier said, perking himself up.
I nodded and we walked out of Darian's and Xavier's bedroom, which was in perfect condition. Xavier led me to a room that looked a lot like a storage area.
“As you can see, they searched this room thoroughly.” Xavier said as he surveyed the damage. “This is where Darian and I keep some of our personal belongs we don't have the heart to discard.” he chuckled but I could tell that he didn't think it was funny.
It must be a horrible feeling to know that someone-a stranger has violated your space and all of your belongings. I ran my lingers over Darian's personal items, such as his watches, shoes, I looked into his trunks, both his and Xavier's beautiful clothes were tossed on the floor. These people who came here must have been desperate to enter the very lair of vampires and rob them while they slept in their beds. I wondered how they could do what they did without being caught.
“Xavier?” I asked. He looked up at me from hiss kneeling position on the floor. He had been looking under a table for clues.
“Yes?” he asked as he rose and began to walk towards me.
“They were in here as you slept, I thought you could wake up during the day in case of emergency?” I asked.
He chuckled. “Darian can, I can't...still not old enough for that little trick. I'm powerful but Darian has age and the skills learned
