Chapter 13
It was the next day and Drake, Zoe and Genevieve all woke the same time. It made Zoe giggle because when she opened her eyes, she saw both adult vampires looking at her.
"What did I do?"
"Oh nothing, it's just… you are very adorable, even while you sleep."
"Adorable?"
"Yes, Adorable", Genevieve smiled. She looked up at her husband who had a grin on his face. She smiled at him, before she got up and walked to the window. Zoe also got out of bed, and ran after Genevieve. The Queen smiled at the little girl and then opened the window slightly, to check if the sun had come down. You could one see the tip of the sun as it was setting.
There was a sound that brought Genevieve's eyes away from the setting sun. She looked down at the little girl beside her. Her little hands were on her tiny stomach.
"I'm hungry."
"You haven't fed have you?"
"No, not yet."
"Alright, Drake and I will take you to go feed, but first you must tell me something.", Genevieve said softly. She picked up the little girl and brought her to her bed and sat down with Zoe in her lap. "Would you prefer to kill for your food, or do you prefer just the blood. Danica tells me that they have a blood farm near by where they collect human blood and store it. Do you want to feed that way?"
"Genevieve, if she is to become one of us, then she needs to learn how to kill for her food.", Drake said from his side of the bed. He propped himself onto one of his elbows and faced the back of his wife's head. She looked back over her right shoulder to meet her husband's gaze. His eyebrows were both raised in her direction, showing her that he was right. She on the other hand gave him a wink and a smile. She then turned back to Zoe.
"Well, what is your decision?"
"I want to get my food properly. I want to kill for it. Like dad said, I need to learn how to feed for my self, just in case something is to happen to you guys.", Zoe said while playing with her hair. She never looked up at Genevieve, not even once because she knew what the Queen's face look liked.
Genevieve couldn't believe that Zoe had called Drake her father. This was so sudden for her and it made her happy. She smiled at the little girl and then made Zoe's gaze connect with her own. Zoe was relieved to see the Queen was pleased with her.
"You called him your father?"
"Yes, because he said it was alright to do so"
"Well, then that is perfectly fine. I want you to go find Danica and tell her to help you get ready while, dr-- I mean your father, get ready, yes?"
"Okay, bye bye mommy!", she said happily. Zoe gave her new mother a kiss on the cheek before giving one to Drake and then running out of the room as fast as her little legs could carry her. Both vampire watched the little one run out of the room before turning to each other.
"Can you believe the maturity of her, at her age?"
"Yes actually, I can. Danica told me that the vampire blood sort of gives them this wisdom beyond their years. It's like our blood revolutionized them"
"I see, well come let's get ready. You heard the promise I made to her"
"Yes, I know. And I also know you hate to break promises.", he smiled. Genevieve was standing when he made his remark and threw her clothes at him. She ran into the bathroom and closed the door. "Do you think a mere object will keep me from what is mine? Come now woman, be real!". He threw the covers off and walked calmly to the door, but before he could knock down the door, there was a frantic knock on their bedroom door.
"Drake! Genevieve! Blade's here and King's got Zoe!", Danica's voice said from the other side of the double door. Drake's smile disappeared as he marched over and got dressed. Genevieve had already hurried and got dressed. She was already out and was reaching her for her weapons the same time. They nodded at each other before the both ran out and headed along side the railings of the walkways.
"Drake, you go after the Blade. I will find Zoe", Genevieve said quickly. She redrew her wings out and took off before Drake had said anything to her. He watched her go over the railings and swoop down to the first level of the building.
"Just be careful", Drake whispered under his breath. He reluctantly broke his gaze on his wives figure before running after the scent of Blade's blood. He turned a couple of lefts and rights before he found the Phoenix Tower's conference room. He walked in and waited for his prey to find him.
Else where, Genevieve had reached the first level and was soon joined by Danica. Asher, and Grimwood. Danica knew that the Queen would be worried for Zoe and that she would want to find her before the Daywalker's people did.
"Alright, Asher I want you to go to the top and get as many out as you can. Grimwood take care of King, Danica, you come with me and help look for the child, yes? Good so everone know what to do?", she said. When everyone noded, she nodded to them and they all split into their directions.
"Where was the last place you saw her, Danica?"
"Um.. Well she was calling for me, actually more like singing my name. Her voice was coming from the middle stair case."
"Alright, if someone has taken her then we need to surround them. I will go to the top and come down, you start here and work your way up, alright?"
"Got it!"
"Good, now hurry", she said before taking flight again. Her trip to the top however, was cut short by an arrow whistling through the air. She dodged it but it grazed her left upper arm. She fell back down, losing her balance and hitting objects as she finally hit the ground and fell into unconsiousness. Her attack looked over the rails to see if the vampire had fallen all the way down. It was then revealed that Genevieve attacker was Abigail Whistler.
