12 You can call me Claire.

I was stunned on seeing her say as a matter of fact,

feed?

at this place?

Is she kidding? "You Are saying me to feed in this place?", I asked Lady Rachael with raising my brows. She smiled and said causally, "Of course dear, the evening is still young, you need energy to pull through it." I rolled my eyes, wasn't that what I told her before!

"Let's get to the guest room nearby. You can have blood there, then you will feel good. Raphael help Elly", said Lady Rachael while analysing the surrounding. "If you want you can have my blood!", Jacob announced proudly to me. "Definitely not!", Lady Rachael and myself said in chorus.

"You smell bad, her blood will change!", Lady Rachael said to Jacob while glaring at him. Jacob felt bad hearing it, he became sad. "Uh..... Rachael?", she looked at me "Let me explain to him!" She nodded and said, "I will go prepare the room and donor for you, Sonja can help her to get to the room?"

Sonja looked annoyed, she took a look at me and nodded with a straight face. "Jacob?", I called him, "Hmmm", he replied. I started to convince him in a low tone, "Since I am a direct descendant of Lord Valdimir, they are helping me to keep my blood pure so that I can maintain the spirit. So don't take to the heart. She is a good one."

He kept quiet even though I finished my words. Then Sonja said, "Let's go Rachael is waiting for us." Then I stood up, Sonja holded my back to keep me straight. Jacob took my hand to help me walk. They both helped me to get to the room. Rachael was waiting outside a room, when we went in I saw three silhouette.

One of them was Raphael, another one was Rebecca and another guy was standing among them, with a brown short hair wearing a grey suit. There stood another charming man. "You can have some from all the three, they all need to have the energy for the evenging right", said Rachael as a matter of fact.

I simply nodded. Then I went near Raphael, he winked at me and sat in the bed nearby. I looked around, all the people were watching me. I didn't know how to converse with them. Sonja said, "You guys! give her some space."

That unknown guy was the first one to leave the room, followed by Rebecca, then Sonja. Jacob strolled towards me, then came near my ear and whispered, "Good or bad, she is your family and I will never make you lose your face ever again." Then he left the room.

In the room myself, Lady Rachael, Lord Raphael were the remaining ones. I looked at Lady Rachael and said, "Why don't you sit down, don't overexert yourself. And thank you Rachael for helping me all the time." Then I went near Lord Raphael, he has already loosened his bow, removed his coat and opened his shirt collar. When I went near his collar bone, I was entrapped by the blood smell.

Soon I was tasting his blood, I can feel now that I was really hunger and starting to regain some strength. After few minutes, I withdrew my teeth and wiped his collar bones with my kercheif. Lord Raphael looked a bit pale, I still can't accept the fact that I'm hurting other people for myself.

When he saw my regretting face, he smiled and patted my head gently saying, "It is alright Elly, I will be always willing to do anything for my little sister. And I not that weak for you to feel sad." I couldn't find words to reply him, so I simply nodded. He stood up and went to the sofa nearby and lied down.

Then I looked at Lady Rachael and asked her, "Rachael? Who is the other guy with Rebecca?" sShe looked hesitant then opened her mouth. "He is Daniel, First son of uncle Richard", on hearing this I was confused, then why was I not taught about him. They only told me about Olivia and Rebecca.

"Daniel Thomas Cullen

Male - Vampire

Knight of North

First son of Richard"

On looking at my confused look, she frowned saying, "He was the Claire Elizabeth's fiance. She was not that interested in him, yet he loved her. He is half breed vampire since his mother gave birth to him when she was human. Olivia and Rebecca were born after she was turned into a vampire. Half breeds doesn't differ from us much, but still their strength is 80% of our strength.

He is a hard worker, he worked hard to become the knight of North. He was second in command after Charles. Claire never bothered herself with him, but still he loved her as deep as the ocean's bottom. He would always spoil her with gifts and privileges, she accepted everything without any restrain though."

"Thats why you guys never mentioned him to me. It's okay Rachael, I'm the only one who is responsible for her death. If he resents me I will be glad to accept it", I said to Rachael when I saw her concerned look. She looked at me helplessly, she opened her mouth to say something but stood up and left the room. In few seconds she came back with Rebecca.

I smiled at Rebecca and said, "Thank you, Lady Rebecca and Sorry for doing this to you." She looked at me warmly and said, "You are a good person, Elizabeth. I don't mind helping you, after all you are the treasured princess of 1st Cullen family." I couldn't understand what she meant by the last sentence.

"And you call me Rebecca" she said in a gentle tone. I smiled at her and said "You can call me Claire." She looked dumbfoundedly at me and shared a look with Lady Rachael. Then Lady Rebecca started to say something, Lady Rachael interrupted her saying, "Father has said everyone to not address you as Claire."

What???....
