"Everyone out"

As fast as Solenne had said it was as quickly as everyone left the room. They knew or thought that the girl was about to be killed or beg for mercy, the Queen was ruthless and everyone knew it, that's how she had earned her name and respect.

Only her brother and best friend stayed back in the room, everyone else was escorted out even Tess.

"Not so talkative now are you, the things I could do to you little one, I was planning on saving this but since you can't follow simple instructions I will have to teach you the hard way" her fangs had come out by this point.

Aerilyn's eyes went wide as she struggled against her.

She tried to fight the Queen off but she had a good grip on the girl's neck, the only thing she could try to do was breathe. Solenne brushed Aerilyn's hair aside to get access to her neck.

She licked her neck with pure blood lust with pure red eyes "you are mine and no one else's, get that straight"

"I own you, you will do as I say when I say" she purred.

"I'll kill you all" Aerilyn choked out.

The Queen laughed against her neck.

Gripped her neck tighter, their bodies pressed together.

Solenne just about pierced Aerilyn's neck when...

"Stop, look you are killing her, this isn't you Solenne" Luanna pleaded, this wasn't the best friend she knew.

Aerilyn cried out in pain, although Solenne hadn't drank from her she had pierced her neck.

A few drops fell from her neck.

"Look at her, please" she tried. This brought Solenne back to her senses, she had lost control. Letting go Aerilyn dropped to the floor immediately, coughing and crying.

Her smell was insatiable.

"I couldn't just let her get away with all of that in front of them all, she had to be punished" Solenne gritted her teeth.

"You could have lost her, look at her neck, it's a mess, just admit it, you lost control and what kind of punishment was that" Luanna continued pointing at Aerilyn's neck. The girl was still on the floor trying to catch her breath, heaving.

Matheus approached Aerilyn and bent down with a tissue, she tried to back away from him.

"I won't hurt you, I'm very sorry for what my sister has done, we will have the doctor come and see you" she had choked her so bad that she could not speak, her voice was now hoarse.

"Look she's like a vegetable now, you're an idiot, I need to leave the smell is too much, I will go and entertain everyone" Matheus was mad at her due to the lack of response. She just sat there like she wasn't there.

He quickly left the room and went back to the party.

"How could you do this to her, when it's so obvious that she's..." Luanna was cut off.

"STOP" The Queen's wrath was not something that anyone wanted to face not even her best friend. She knew what she was going to say, but didn't want to hear it out loud, that would mean it was true.

The doors slammed open immediately with Nilsa running in. Solenne stood still unsure what to do, she didn't want try and comfort Aerilyn when she had just strangled her and doing so might scare her more.

Nilsa enveloped Aerilyn into a hug. "What the hell have you done Solenne...shhh it's okay, I'm here, you're okay, you're safe, I can tell you can't speak, so don't try to, just try and calm down" she rocked the human girl and rubbed her back, the dried blood on her neck was all too obvious.

"I told you she wasn't ready for any of this" Nilsa was fuming that she hadn't been listened too, this was an obvious reaction from the human, it was all too new for her.

Solenne continued to scowl at Nilsa for touching her pet, both their eyes red in anger.

"Quit giving me the evils Solenne" Nilsa rasped.

Solenne had never seen Nilsa like this over a human and wondered how much she had come to care for her, the thought crossed her mind that Nilsa was in love with her but that couldn't be.

"Let's get you back to your room, okay" Aerilyn nodded her head. Nilsa stood up and waited for her to do so.

Due to the long period she had spent on her knees, the feeling in her leg had gone and so when she tried to stand up her legs gave way anda she fell back down.

"This just gets worse" Nilsa raised a hand to her head.

Solenne felt awful that she hadn't realised how uncomfortable Aerilyn had been on the floor, how could she not have noticed.

"If you can't stand I am going to have to carry you back to your room" Nilsa sighed, the girl nodded her head at her allowing her to do so. Nilsa bent down to pick the girl up but Solenne couldn't stand it any longer.

"Stop" the Queen bellowed.

"Stop torturing the girl and let me help her" Nilsa stressed and pleased with her.

"She isn't yours Nilsa" the Queen shook her head, she couldn't bare the thought of Nilsa touching Aerilyn or for the girl to reciprocate feelings like that vision showed.

"I am well aware of that your majesty"

Solenne's eyes were the deepest red anyone had ever seen them.

Her authority taking over which meant Nilsa could do nothing but submit.

"She can either walk herself or I will carry her, no one else will touch her" Solenne couldn't bare the thought of Nilsa touching Aerilyn, something caused her to snap, she hadn't felt this much emotion in all her years.

Aerilyn tried with all her might to stand up with when she said that, she even patted her legs trying to get the feeling back but fell down another two times.

Eventually she dropped her head in defeat and no sooner felt two arms embrace her, pulling her into them, she knew who it was instantly.

Solenne carried Aerilyn to her room and placed her on the bed, they were alone and the girl was scared what might happen.

"I am going to clean your neck okay, can you nod your head for me so I know you are processing this?"

Aerilyn meekly nodded her head, accepting the help.

The Queen went into the bathroom and grabbed a cloth, she went back out and sat down next to Aerilyn to make her feel better by being on her level.

That would make them equals.

Sitting next to the Queen made Aerilyn very nervous.

"You can look at me Aerilyn, I won't hurt you, I'm so sorry" the Queen was coming across as very sincere, was this just a trick?

"I'm going to clean your neck now, if this is too much just tell me and I will stop, you are in control" Solenne wanted the girl to know she was safe.

They were facing each other, Aerilyn still hadn't looked up at her even though she had permission too.

The Queen leaned over, breaths meeting, they were very close as she slowly put her hand up with the cloth to wipe the girls neck.

Aerilyn tensed and hissed a little as the cold cloth met her neck. As the Queen was very close to her concentrating on her neck, Aerilyn looked at her, as close as she ever had before.

The Queen sensed that the girl was looking at her, she didn't look up straight away, allowing Aerilyn to get a good look.

The smooth pale skin that held no blemish, Aerilyn observed her eyes finally back to a rich golden colour, one she was not sure she had seen before, she loved how her eyes held her emotions.

Her full lips that looked ever so inviting, and her long flowing hair that she wanted to reach out and touch. Yet this woman had just had her hands around her neck, she couldn't understand the way she was feeling.

The Queen finally looked up at Aerilyn, eyes meeting as she leant back, her neck was clean and no harm had been caused, luckily.

Solenne looked down to Aerilyn's lips and licked her own, she didn't know what had taken over her.

The Queen reached out and touched Aerilyn's arm "I have to go back to the party, there will be guards outside this time and food will be brought up, please do try to eat" she then took her hand off and just looked the girl in the eyes for longer than she cared to admit.

It truly felt like they were just two girls sat in the room together, stripped of title and status.
