The Lost Queen Book 2 - Kehlani

9. Time To Go

It's fine though. I'll walk. Maybe a nice man will pick me up again. I sneak all the way over to the entrance and step out the front door.

"No." Emberlynna is standing there with her arms crossed. "You are getting into entirely too much trouble. You can sit through a class. Now go."

Kina is standing beside her laughing her ass off.

"BUT SCHOOL IS BORING."

"Go on. 1 class, and I'll come up with a schedule for you." She walks me back to Arius's class. I plop down by Alden again. "Sorry professor, I didn't realize she was a teenager."

"I AM 915 YEARS OLD."

"SIT." I plop down. "I will figure this out. Stay with Alden for now. Alden, watch her."

I cross my arms and glare at the table.

The teacher nods. "I have an amazing idea. So, we're going to go with it. You are all going to do a 5-page report."

A bunch of them, "UGH." and seem annoyed.

"The report will be about a topic of your choice. You will ask Mayra questions and figure out how it was done 500 years ago. Then you will be bringing Mayra up to date. You will both do the presentation. You must show that you understand how it was 500 years ago, and she must show that she understands it in the present day. If you do this successfully, you will not have to take the exam. You will get an automatic A on it."

Silvia jumps up, "Fashion."

Sara screams, "MAKEUP."

Jenny smiles, "Hygiene."

Another girl looks at me, "Sex."

"NO." Alden glares at her. "No." I nod quickly to her.

The professor says, "Pick something else."

Clark writes something down, "Technology."

"Food."

"Music."

"Ok, you've all got the idea. Submit your topic by the end of the week. There will be no duplicate topics. Pick something you enjoy." He writes something down. "All of you that said a topic are marked. But still submit your topic, so I know it's not messed up. Now we are going to talk about the human blood village. Fane built it and imprisoned the humans for blood. He bred the humans with the best tasting blood."

My hand shoots up.

"Yes, Mayra."

"That's all wrong."

"What part?" He scratches his head.

"My daddy built the blood village for us. Fane was still very young. He had no part in building it."

He nods slowly. "And just like that, all the history books are wrong." They start laughing. "You're certain that your dad built it?"

"Yes. And they weren't imprisoned. They chose to live there. Daddy kept them safe. They would go to a medical area and have their blood removed, so we weren't biting them. Ask any servant, they were free to go to the human village too. Everyone got along. Fane did not build that village." I glance around. "How are the villagers? And what do you mean 'he bred them?'"

Alden shakes his head, "No."

Victor glances at me. "The villagers are dead. Fane was not nice to that village. He kept them as slaves. He did what he wanted with them. About a month ago, we got word he was in the village. We went there, and he had destroyed everyone in it searching for something. We figured out he was looking for the king's sword. Alden has it now."

I rub my eyes. "That's a lot."

"Yes it is. I'm sorry."

"They loved my daddy. They loved our family. Nobody survived?"

Jenny smiles. "1 child did. We kept him and sent him away to a human school. It's not safe with him in the vampire castle. But I'm sure he'll visit on breaks, and you can meet him then. His name is Sam."

"Poor baby." I look at the guard. "By order of the queen, anyone who attempts to take blood from Sam will lose their head immediately."

"Yes, ma'am."

"No, cancel that."

"Yes, sir."

I give Alden a side eye.

"If you write that into law, people will know he exists. As of right now, he thinks he killed them all. Sam is safest if we let him go to school."

"Yea, that's probably true." I sit back and cross my arms. Then I look at Alden, "So, what parts of the king's set do you have?"

"Set?"

Clark shakes his head. "Discuss that later."

We put our attention back on the teacher.

"And just like that, we're back to me." Then he starts talking about something else.

I scoot my chair all the way to Alden's and lay my head on his shoulder. He's so warm.

He relaxes and puts his arm around me. Then he whispers, "What do you want me to teach you about, sweetheart?"

"Driving." I feel my head falling.

I feel him move around a little. I was sound asleep with my head in his lap. "Alright, I'll be right there."

I sit up and glance around. Everyone is still here. I stretch. Alden is writing something down. Then he helps me up and hands the teacher his paper. I walk out with him, and we go to Dr. Fomek's office.

I go in and jump up on the table. I leave my legs hanging off it. Alden winks and sits down on a chair. The doctor comes in after a minute.

"Alright, it seems we have some different issues. Mayra, you did not age while you were held. You are 415 years old."

"Ok."

"Alden, she is an adult. But by our standards, she'll act like a teenager for another couple hundred years. She is still developing. Her development stopped for 500 years."

He winks at me. "My little queen."

I smile so big. I like him.

"The issue you brought up was the food. I did check into that. I can't be certain, but the food is different now. 500 years ago, they hunted and fished. They had farms and animals. They ate what they made or what grew. Now, well, we buy everything that's mass-produced from the grocery store. It's very different."

"It's not good anymore. Everything tastes like dirt or something."

"That would explain your weight. You're still underweight. You need to eat more."

I shake my head fast.

"You have to eat. You can't not eat." He looks at Alden. "I would try different foods. She's bound to like some things."

"Yea, we'll figure something out."

"Other than all that, you 2 seem to be getting along better now. You're not screaming at each other. I'll ask for the paperwork now, while you're getting along. Fill these out." He hands us each a paper.

I read through it, and it asks for people he can discuss my medical stuff with. I have nobody like that.

"Basically, if you are rendered unconscious, who can be in the room with you? Who makes the medical decisions? Who can I give updates to? Things like that. I mean you're still the King and Queen."

I stare at it and my eyes fill up with tears. I wish my parents were here.

"We'll fill them out and bring them back."

"Thank you. Drop them off whenever."

We get out in the hallway and Alden picks me up. I wrap around him and sob. I wish I wasn't alone. I wish everyone I love wasn't gone. I have Kina, but I'm her job.

He carries me back to the royal house. Then he puts me on my feet. "We're going to go make some new memories now. It'll be good for you. And I'm the 1 that's on that paper. You better not try to shut me out of your room. I'll break down the door, baby."

I start to laugh, then sob. I partially choke.

He hugs me and rubs my back. "It's us now. You have me." I stand there with him rocking me for a few minutes. Then he says, "Go grab that necklace."

"We can't just walk out the door."

"Who can stop the king and queen? We're following a lead. Nobody needs to know what it is. Go get your necklace and meet me at the parking area."

"Ok."

He gives me a little kiss and walks out the door.

I run to my room and put a bunch of those common dresses into a bag with a bunch of underwear. Then I throw in a pair of tennis shoes and go to the parking spots.

I stand by a car. I'm going to get to drive and see where my compass points.

Alden runs out of a side door. "Time to go. Get in."

I jump in the passenger seat and off we go.

He drives for an hour and tells me what the signs mean. Then he stops at a little store.

We change spots and I jump up and down 20 times. I can not stop.

He smiles and gives me a kiss. "Drive, baby."

I smile so big and jump in the drivers seat. He checks the compass and points me in the right direction.

"Remember to look both ways before you pull out."

I do everything he says and pull out slowly. Then I take off slowly. I get up to about 20 miles an hour and I sit there smiling and driving. I drive for about 2 hours. He talks to people on his phone mostly. But he points stuff out to me sometimes.

All of a sudden, a big black car is driving behind me. Then another 1 passes me and stops in front of me. I stop and Alden looks up over his phone.

Victor walks back to his window. "Everyone's getting hungry man."

"You couldn't have texted that?"

"This was faster."

I check the cars and wonder who everyone is... I thought it was only going to be us.

"Fine. Slide over here baby. I need to find somewhere to eat and stay tonight. You can drive again tomorrow." I jump over and Alden checks his phone for a while, then takes off again.

He stops in a parking lot somewhere and Victor and Clark get out of 1 limo and 8 guards get out of another. After everyone eats, they find us an inn. Alden gets us our own room for the night.

He pulls me down on his lap in the chair. "Why are you so quiet baby?"

"I'm tired."

"You sure?"

I snuggle into him and nod. At least I get to see where my compass points. Then I freak out. I forgot pajamas and there's only 1 bed.

"Alright, let's go to bed before you fall asleep here." He puts me on my feet.

I freeze solid. I have no idea what to do. Maybe I could steal the car and drive back. But I don't know where to go.

He smirks. Then he unbuttons his shirt. My eyes are glued to him. I can't even make my brain make sense. He tosses it over the chair and pulls his white t-shirt over his head. He is so sexy. He hands me his t-shirt.

"Go put that on to sleep in baby."

I watch him unhook his belt.

"HEH HUM."

I peek up at him quickly. "I'm going to sleep in my underwear, are you ok with that?"

"Yea, that's fine."

"Ok go put that on."

I smile at his shirt in my hands. Then I take off to the bathroom.

A few minutes later, I come out with his t-shirt on. He's sitting on the side of the bed checking his phone. He glances up at me and his eyes go pure black.

I check myself and wonder why. This is like the least sexy thing I could wear. It's comfortable. I won't complain.

He tries to put his phone on the table and misses. He doesn't notice. He's staring at me this time.

I want to tease him like he teased me with his belt. I don't have anything extra on though. I give him a little kiss. He pulls me against him and kisses me so intensely. I wrap my arms around his shoulders and kiss him right back. He falls back on the bed and pulls me with him.

I lay on him and give him lots of kisses. I love this. I get my hand in his hair, and then I trail kisses down his jaw. I feel his hands rubbing my back and they feel good. I kiss the side of his neck. He tilts his head and shows me more of it. I lick it and give it a wet kiss.

He flips us over. He is between my legs and pressing against me before I can blink. Then he kisses me deep and fast. I feel his hand grab my hip, and he pushes his d**k against me.

I grab his shoulders and push him back.

He backs off and looks into my eyes. "I'm sorry, baby. I got a little carried away. Are you ok?" He moves a hair out of my face.

"I'm ok. That was a lot."

He gives me a sweet slow kiss and I drag my fingers down his back. I love the way his skin feels. I feel him shiver, then he kisses my neck.

"Uhh" It sends pleasure through me. I push my boobs into his chest and try to pull him against me.

He grabs my hip. "Let's calm down, or we'll not sleep tonight."

We lay right in bed. I am hot though. It takes me awhile to cool down and go to sleep.
