Vampire Chronicles 42 Back From The Dead

"One more week in the hospital and you'll be free from this place, Charles said I didn't have to be his a.s.sistant anymore I guess something in him changed."

Nicole was about to say something as her vision became blurry she clenched the sheets tightly as she screamed. She coughed and gasps for air , Nicole didn't know what was going on but this wasn't real. Everything wasn't real that stood in front her, her vision soon regain it's surrounding she looked the scenery of were her and Jasper had supposedly died. She wonders where Jasper was everything she just imagined was just a dream. Edward puts the sword on the table removing his armor.

"I see your alive once again? Luckily I was able to revive you it wasn't easy. Jasper is doing okay his injury will heal quickly. I know your wondering what just happened but you went in a aftershock and I found you and him together with blades left and right that pierced your body. I feel sorry that a poor girl such as yourself have to go through all of this, Jasper was trying to get you away from all that despite Charles wanting you for himself "

Edward placed her on the sofa as she then say "what about the war? I-"

"There is no war not as of right now. Lilth kingdom is tough but we stood our ground. Percy was no where to be in sight when we fought therefore we haven't  in so many years which makes us Rusty. Our kingdom hasn't been in war for a couple of thousands of years."

"Sorry to ask such question's my mind became curious however. I don't get how all of this was because of me...."

Jasper slowly stood up as his right eyes turned bright red. He knelled down to her taking her hand "It is not your fault, its mostly mine. I left his kingdom so I could be with you. I its such a hard thing to say to yourself. I tried my best to protect you we died and it was so peaceful. It was us together no hate nor sadness but Love. I'm glad I get to see you once again alive and well"

Her eyes narrowed at his gaze "I am glad as well...what happen to our room it looks brand new."

Edward laughed as he shake "silly  human I cleaned the place up for you and Jasper. Its been a while since I last cleaned. Everyone think I'm a spoiled child but I surely do it for fun."

Jasper rolled his eyes as he looked at Nicole once more as she fallen asleep. Jasper placed a thin blanket over her small form as he kissed her lips wishing her a goodnight. He walked over to Edward at the fire place ; Edward pa.s.sed Jasper a gla.s.s on Whiskey.

"Man I miss mother, all of this had to happen in one day. Such a scary thing, Life is precious for human is it not baby brother?"

"You can say that I don't know how u did it but I can say your better at magic than anything else."

Edward took a small sip of whiskey as he bites his lip making them tremble  "Jasper I think she would have been more so proud of you , you are a powerful half breed. I hate that war of our kingdoms have suffered. Anyways you should rest up for bit, I'll have butler bring up her food. The poor thing must be starving. "

"How many days has it been since you nursed us back to health?"

"Hmmm 5 days actually it took longer for her to recover than you. Luckily I found you both, however it wasn't so easy to revive her, I like Nicole she has some spark in her."

"Yes she does it amazes me to see how much she grown as a individual. I never thought in a million years I would see her again. Nicole is so beautiful I can't dare keep myself away from her"

"I understand Jasper but you know as years go back she'll age and you'll just stay the same; unless you wanted to find a way to make her immortal"

"I will ask her that question if she wants to I won't force her. Not like how Charles did, he bullies her sometimes but can show great love to her , of course I got jealous the same with Lori. I know deep down inside Lori is always going to be in his heart. He loved that girl dearly she seen me as a friend and nothing more back then I did have feelings for her but over time I didn't connect with her but more so with Nicole. I couldn't possibly feel anthing for her we didn't really connect. I wished I could have saved her from such a tragic thing. Its took late now. Nicole is my top priority we have a bond that is only for me and her to share"

"I understand completely Jasper. I once loved a human but she was murdered we still couldn't find the person who did it.  Case gone cold it changed me somehow."

Jasper looked at Nicole with a painful expression as she slowly opened her asked rubbing her stomach. Edward looked at the fire letting Jasper walk away from him.

"Did you sleep well Nicole?" Jasper said in a husky voice.

She yawn an said "I haven't slept like that in years!? I must have been in a deep sleep thank you for asking me Jasper " Nicole smiled as jasper touched the side of her face making he blush as he leaned in to kiss her only to be stopped by Edward with a bowl of ice cream in his hands.

"Oooo ice cream!? I'm hungry haven't ate in a minute!" Nicole grabbed the bowl of ice cream as she stuff her face with the sweet flavor. She held her head tightly indicating a brain freeze Jasper and Edward couldn't help but laugh. Suddenly king Philip walked in with a blood all over his armor thankfully it wasn't his own.

"Edward I was looking for you everywhere! Those men of lilth kingdom tried to escape so I had to kill them before they could do further harm to my people" King Philip glanced over at Nicole as he walked up to her angrily "you are the cause of this war child!? Jasper return the girl back to the lilth Kingdom at once!? Prince Charles is not leaving until he gets her. I want her gone an out of this palace!?"

Jasper stood in front of Nicole as his smile disappeared leaving him with serious face she never seen before it was like he was holding his angry in instead of letting it out like his father is as the moment.

"Father she is staying here....she is-"

"I don't care what she is to you, that human is nothing but bad luck you need to remember we can get killed for having her around. The court doesn't like us disobeying there laws especially the council members. You know Victoria, Wellington and Mana they can kill us just like that...I'm trying to protect both of you. You are all I have left now. Your mother is gone she isn't here with us anymore I kept fighting for her and this kingdom our peoole lives are in stake just for a human."

Edward rubbed his chin slightly "Mother wouldn't think like that Father even though mother was witch she was still human regardless. Think about what she left behind she left us she is apart of me and Jasper. despite everything you went through I always been there. I'll let you clear your thoughts.." Edward walked out the room silently leaving King Philip pondering.

Jasper clenched his fist at his side as he turned around to Nicole as she held up her hands giving him the signal to carry her Jasper smiled at her a his eyes turned red. He ends up carrying her bridle style as he left the room leaving his father alone in their room.

"Jasper I'm scared what will Charles do to me?"

"I won't let him hurt you,trust me I will protect you with my life if I have to you. Nicole you are very important to me....I just want to you to know that I love you so much. Nothing I mean Nothing can keep us apart but you have to play along with my plan."

Jasper kissed her deeply as her eyes grew wide it happened so suddenly he walked to the entrance of the castle seeing the heavy rain. He saw Charles white hair flow in the windy atmosphere as his eyes left a eternal red scare. Jasper walked up to him as he carried Nicole.

"Long time no see Charles.."

"Same to you Jasper you missed a much work while you were gone I hate to punish you...but I'll give you a warning...If I ever catch you messing with her again your life is mine I mean it this time..."

"I understand Prince Charles...I was only trying to take Nicole out off such a dangerous environment sir she homeless and had no where to go...I helped her out. You was being awfully mean to her how can you love her but treat her so badly. As a friend I'm trying to help you..."

"A friend you say...you stabbed me in the back just like you did my father"

"You delsion-"

Nicole placed her hand over Jasper mouth as she Looked at Charles. Charles rolled his eyes at her as Jasper set Nicole down on the floor as she shivered. Charles grabbed her hand walking her to the car as Jasper followed. Once they got inside they Jasper rode back to too the Lilth palace. Nicole knew they ride was going to be long so she thought it was to take a nap regain her energy.

"So Jasper said you enjoy running away with what is mine, I told you I would find you...."

"I figured you would eventually, your heart is cold as day but have you ever considered her feelings Charles "

"I loved her overtime I will regret the things I said to her but its out of-"

"Charles that is no where near love, At least I can show it to her better than you can"

"So your saying your better than me Jasper?  How so?"

"Really want me to tell you selfish prince , Look how you treat others especially Lori an now Nicole. This has to stop your mother raised you better that as men we shouldn't put down the people we love. Nicole was heartbroken I repaired the pieces. You was only destroying everything along with Percy. I didn't want to put her through anymore things then what she j's going already going through. At the end of the day she loves me now nothing can stop our bond..."

Charles grinned "I figured she would start falling for you, but never to point of you marrying her. I'll fight for her'

"We'll see about that Charles"

The ride back to Lilth kingdom was silent. Jasper plan was going through perfectly, He was surprised that Charles didn't realize himself what he was doing. Is Charles really going to fight for Nicole or only hurt her in the end.
