I know its short and it's been more than a year but I'm still grasping the reins of the story (I kind of forgot the twist and the plot line) XD. I missed this site and I'm deciding whether to move this to wattpad or not since I'm more active there. Tell me what you think and thanks a lot for reading. Love you guys (^_^)/

Bloodbound Promise

Chapter 9. A Love Lost

Alice wasn't sure if sneaking out at night with her cousin vampire, Dan is a wise move. Well that's because after everything that she had learned, she still couldn't trust him not to jump her and drain her blood.

She shivered as the cold night breeze break contact with her skin, rousing goose bumps up her arm. Why did she forgot to get a coat? With all the excitement of presenting Dan to Runo, she completely forgot she was only in her pyjamas and the thin material of her shirt wasn't exactly best for a night out like this.

Alice glanced at Dan who seemed lost in his own word. He looked happy though, as if a weight was lifted from his shoulders.

She smiled. Runo would surely freak out when she found out she's meant to be with a vampire. She pursed her lips and stopped at the gate of Runo's house. It was eerily quiet. Afterall, it was almost past ten o-clock in the evening. She shouldn't have dragged Dan out. She shook her head and face her cousin who was now staring at a window by the second storey of the house on the far left.

Creepy, she thought as she noted that the very same window was located in her best friends room.

"Dan, you need to be careful with her. She doesn't know anything about you or vampires." She said sternly.

Dan just smirked but eventually nodded. "I promise I would never hurt her." With that said he vanished and she was left there gawking at the very same spot he was standing in before. A sneaky suspicion made its way in her head. Alice glanced up at Runo's bedroom window and standing by the foot of her bed, was Dan. Alice nearly had a heart attack. She understand he missed her so much but Runo would certainly freak out when she woke up with a stranger watching her.

Alice closed her eyes in frustration. A blood curdling scream broke the silence of the night and in an instant, Dan was beside her, his eyes were filled with amusement and looking down at a pillow he was now holding.

Alice pulled him down as Runo looked out the window, fury painted all over her features. On one hand she gripped a porcelain vase. Soon the whole household will surely be in chaos. They needed to get back home soon before the police came.

"Can't you teleport me back to my house or something?" she asked hopefully, dreading the walk back to the house.

Dan was still grinning like a love struck idiot as he shook his head. "I'm sorry but I can't at the moment. The night is so beautiful it's a pity if we don't stay a bit longer."

Alice rolled her eyes in exasperation and started her walk back to her house.

"Not if you want to spend your time in jail. Runo hates bad boys." She said. Dan quickly fell in step with her, still with a cheeky smile.

"Okay then you have all the time to tell me about what my love wants." He offered and Alice could only shake her head. She's going to lose a lot of sleep with these vampires around.

Rade's P.O.V

I couldn't get back to Alice. Marucho was with her and it was hard to get pass by Julie. She was very well trained by this time. I know once they see me they wouldn't have second thoughts of killing me or worse send me back to rest for no one knows how long. I have already suffered too much and I'm ready to guard her and fulfil my duty but not like this. I watched from afar as Dan and Alice sneak away from the house. I frowned. It was dangerous for her to be out in the night. Surely Dan knows that?

But there was a different glint in his eyes, one that as reflected in mine before my beloved died. It was hope. I gritted my teeth in anger as I trailed them to Runo's house. They stopped at the cover of the oak tree. I surveyed my surroundings and swore I caught something fast run. I breathed in deep and notice another immortal present not too far away and his scent was reeking. He was danger. I caught a flash of ruby red eyes. It was too early for them to know she was alive but they had already came. I place a hand on my sword, ready to do battle and finally protect her with my life...
