"Je suis ici pour vous aider. (I'm here to help you.)" Holden said looking at the girl with brown eyes. "Non, il l'habitude, il est parti. (No he wont, he is gone.)" He said as he closed his eyes. "How was I able to do that so easily?" Holden asked himself as he opened his eyes.
Alicia popped open the bottle and quickly drank it down. "No Solomon isn't in danger." She said looking at Hayden. "It's Holden and his damn heart, he had to help this girl that was being abused." Alicia said with a sigh. |
Hayden frowned, "He's going to have to learn to get over it. Humans and vampires are filled with hate and they take out on each other... It's just another fact of life."
She stared at him for a moment, her expression switching between confusion, fear, sadness and a few other emotions. She didn't quite understand. He couldn't be..gone..he never went far while she was with a client. He may be a bad man, but he had to make sure his property wasn't harmed. Her head slowly cocked to the side as she tried to understand what he was saying. "Il est parti?Lorsque?(He's gone? Where?)" |
"Hayden I know this, but Holden doesn't." Alicia said as she felt her power come back. "He has a good heart. He would literally give the shirt off of his back to help someone." She said with a sigh.
Holden sighed, "How to say this?" "Il est mort. (He is dead.)" He said looking at the girl. "Vous ne mérite pas tout cela. Être victime de violence et de sévices sexuels. (You didn't deserve any of this. Being abused, and sexually abused.)" He said as tears came to his eyes. As he saw what his mother did to him. |
Hayden frowned, "Solomon will have to teach him..."
"M-mort?(D-dead?)." Her hand trembled slightly as she reached to wipe away a tear, "Je...ne...Je ne co-commprends pas...I-Il a dit qu'il ne po-pouvait pas mourir...être t-tué...Et-Et que l'homme...(I...don't...I don't un-understand...H-He said he co-couldn't...die...A-and that man...)" she pointed, "Co-Comment avez...il al-aller là-bas?...Vous avez été à la p-porte(H-How did...he g-get over there? You...were in the d-doorway.)" |
"Ya. I guess we should get back downstairs." Alicia said as she stood up. "I'll fix that later." She said pointing to the fridge.
"Tout le monde peut mourir. (Everyone can die.)" Holden said rubbing his temples. "Je suis un vampire. (I am a vampire.)" He said knowing Solomon would be pissed. He closed his eyes and focused on the man that he killed. He made the body disappear and land on the table in his study. "Alicia can you take care of that for me?" Holden asked as he opened his eyes and looked at the girl. |
"Je-Je ne comprends pas ...vampires... les vampires ont la magie?(I-I don't understand...vampires have..magic?)" She suddenly felt uncomfortable, curling up tightly. This new vampire probably only wanted her for himself..that had to be it. Her master often told her this might happen. She bolted to her hands and knees, jumping off the bed and hiding in a corner, not that it did much good she was still in plain sight..not to mention, she still didn't have her dress. She adjusted herself to maximize the coverage her hair gave her, "Je-Je ne veux pas! Pa-Pas plus! S'il vo-vous plaît! (I don't want to! No more! Please)!" She hid her face, fresh tears falling down her cheeks.
Hayden jumped a bit as the body suddenly appeared, "Holden! Alexander is still here...you're lucky you remembered to lock your study...but still..the smell.." She grabbed onto the body and disappeared, "I'll take care of the body Alicia..you just make sure the smell goes away." |
"I know Hayden." He said. "C'est pas de la magie. (It's not magic.)" Holden said with a sigh. He grabbed the dress and walked it over to the girl, "Ici. (Here.)" He said with a smile. "Je ne vais pas te faire de mal. Je viens de vous aider. (I'm not going to hurt you. I'm just helping you.)" He said as he stepped away from the girl.
"Ok, Hayden." Alicia said as she manipulated the smell molecules in the air to get rid of the smell. She quickly threw the smell out the window. "He owes us big time." Alicia said crossing her arms. |
She grabbed onto the dress and held it close, "Je ne sais pas comment pouvez-vous m'aider? Patron de Maître saura...et...et il va venir pour moi ...je ne pourrai sortir...(How can you help me? Master's boss will know...and...and he'll come for me...I can never escape...)" She turned around quickly slipping into her dress and zipping it up. She tied the little ribbon around her neck, looking over her shoulder at him, "Po-Pourquoi êtes-vous m'aider? Ça ne fera qu'empirer avec vous s'impliquer ... Big Boss me punir sévèrement ...(Why are you helping me? It'll only get worse with you getting involved...Big Boss will punish me severely...)"
|
"Je ne sais pas maintenant, mais je vais penser à quelque chose. (I don't know right now, but I will think of something.)" Holden said with a sigh. "Je ne supporte pas lorsque les enfants victimes de violence. Tout comme je l'étais. (I cannot stand when children get abused. Just like I was.)" He said sitting on the bed. "Why must I always do this?" Holden asked himself.
|
She gripped the hem of her dress tightly, looking down at the floor. She was about to speak when suddenly, another man appeared in the room. She jumped, recognizing him from the incident at the restaurant.
Solomon crossed his arms, looking at Holden, "Don't you even think about it Holden. Every day, hundreds of children are abused. It's a fact of life." He pointed to the girl, "She is just another statistic. I really don't want to make you learn this lesson, but I will if I must. Cruelty is in our nature. Get over it." He looked to the girl, "Quel est votre nom?(What is your name?)" She jumped a bit as the taller man addressed her. He was much scarier than the boy trying to help her, "M-Melody Rousseau.." She kept her eyes glued to the floor, wanting them both to go away so she could just crawl in a hole and hide. |
"If it is in our nature then why did you let me do this Solomon?" Holden asked a little angry. "Huh I am a fool, I always let this happen." He said looking at the girl. "Go! S'enfuir et se cacher. Maintenant! (Go! Run away and hide. Now!)" He said sternly but it hurt him to do that. He grabbed Solomon's arm and teleported to the car. He closed his eyes and pushed his anger and sadness down, "Let's go back to the hotel Solomon." Holden said with light blue eyes.
|
Solomon pulled his arm away after they appeared by the car, "I was hoping you'd be smart and just leave her be, but I made a mistake." He sighed, tempted to pull out his hair, "Holden, listen, I don't want to fight, or be angry at you, but I'm finding it rather hard. I love how you care for others, but you have got to stop helping people you don't know. I mean..you're aiming to adopt a kid who you know is only going to hurt your both physically and emotionally. He's going to loose his damn mind, and his aim will be to kill every. Single. Person, he sees." He then pointed up to the room where Melody was left alone, "And she will only be thrown further into despair because you killed the man who owns her. His boss will only shovel her off to someone else, perhaps someone who could care less what happens to her behind the door, or even beat her to death himself."
He let out an aggravated sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose, "You need to learn to just care about your family, not these...faceless strangers! Their lives have no impact on yours and yours should have no impact on them! That's how the world is." Melody skittered over to the window, watching with big eyes as she saw the two on the street. The taller man seemed very angry, but even if she could hear them, she didn't understand the language they were speaking. She frowned, feeling bad for getting the younger man in trouble. She whirled around and ran out of the room and down the stairs, jumping halfway down the last set. She hurried out the main lobby and to the street, sliding to a stop just a few yards away. "U-um...Je suis désolé...Je ne voulais pas lui causer des ennuis. Ne soyez pas en colère contre lui. S'il vous plaît?(I'm sorry...I didn't mean to get him in trouble. Don't be mad at him. Please?)" She clutched at her dress, close to tearing the seams. She quickly adverted her gaze to the ground and cringed, afraid she was going to get slapped. |
"I know all of this Solomon. I can't help my nature." Holden said throwing his hands down. "I'm sorry Solomon, let's just go." He said as he heard the girl running out. He turned around and knelt down, "Ce n'est pas votre faute, c'est la mienne. Je n'ai jamais été impliqué, vous devriez vraiment aller se cacher. Dieu seul sait quand le patron de votre «maîtres» que vous trouverez. (It's not your fault, it's mine. I should have never gotten involved, you should really go and hide. God only knows when your 'masters' boss will find you.)" Holden said with a sigh.
|
Solomon was about to continue when the girl came over. He growled, climbing into the car, "Get. Rid. Of. Her." He shut the door clenching the steering wheel threatening to break it from the steering column.
Melody jumped as the taller man climbed into the car, "Je suis tellement désolé. Je...Je ne sais pas où je peux aller...si le Maître était un vampire...Boss peut-être trop...il va...(I'm so sorry..I...I don't know where I can go...if Master was a vampire...Boss might be too..he'll...)" She glanced at him for a moment before looking back to the ground, "Je sa-sais que je ne peux pas...aller avec vous, mais .. pou-pourriez-vous me dire où je pourrais être en sé-sécurité?(I know I can't..go with you, but..could you tell me where I might be safe?)" |
"C'est bien. (It's fine.)" Holden said as he thought for a second. He pulled out a piece of paper and scribbled something down. "Allez à cette adresse, et de demander une Roslin. Dites-lui que vous avez envoyé Holden. Elle vous aider, voici quelques Euros pour vous aider à y arriver. Dites-lui de m'appeler quand vous arrivez, s'il vous plaît. (Go to this address, and ask for a Roslin. Tell her Holden sent you. She will help you, here is a couple of Euros to help you get there. Tell her to call me when you arrive, please.)" He said handing the paper and handing the girl €100. "Maintenant, allez vite. (Now go quickly.)" Holden said with a smile as he stood up and got into the car.
|
Solomon started the car as Holden got in and drove off, "I'm sorry Holden..." He kept his eyes glued to the road.
She nodded and hurried off. She knew the general location of where the building was located. |
"Solomon its fine." Holden said with a sigh. "I need to learn how not to make everyone's problems mine. Let's crack open a bottle of wine when we get back to the hotel." He said closing his eyes. He hoped that Roslin wouldn't get mad at him for sending the girl to her. "She shouldn't Holden." Holden said to himself.
|
Solomon sighed, "I still should not have yelled at you like that. I just..worry what will happen when people are going to try to take advantage of you." He pulled up to the Hotel, throwing the keys to the valet as he led Holden inside. He kept his arm around Holden's waist, giving him a light kiss as they entered the room, "Are you sure she'll be alright? I know it'll be driving you insane."
|
"I understand where you are coming from Solomon. and its fine." Holden said with a small smile. "I'm sure, Roslin is a very nice girl, she may be a little out there but she will help Melody. Plus Roslin will call me and yell at me." He said with a small chuckle. "She was an exchange student at my school. The kid that was hosting her was a jerk, so I helped acclimate to America. She never heard of a mall, apparently they don't have them here. Anyways we have been keeping in contact since she came back, I was planing on visiting her tomorrow." Holden said kissing Solomon on the lips.
|
Solomon went to the mini fridge, pulling out a bottle of wine and grabbing two glasses as he came back over. He set the glasses down, popping the cork and pouring some wine into them, "If you say so." He smiled, handing a glass to Holden. before taking a sip of his own.
|
Holden smiled, "Yes I say so." He said taking a sip. He felt his phone vibrate in his pocket, he pulled it out and looked at Solomon. "Speaking of the devil." He said as he opened the phone. He didn't put it up to his ear. "Hey Roslin." He said raising his voice a little.
"Que dans l'enfer Holden!? Pourquoi avez-vous envoyer cette fille pour moi!? (What in the hell Holden!? Why did you send this girl to me!?)" A girl yelled from the other end. "Roslin s'installer. (Roslin settle down.). You said that if I ever needed anything you would help. And I need you to help her. Please?" Holden asked as he put the phone to his ear. "*Sigh* I guess I can Holden, and since your in France I better see you butt before you go home. By the way what should I do with her?" Roslin asked. "Well just take care of her, I have two kids at home to take care of. So I can't take on anymore, plus if I did my boyfriend would get mad at me." He said with a smile looking to Solomon. "So little Holden has a boyfriend, I have to see this." She said with a giggle. "I'm not little and I am older then you darling. I have to go, the wine is calling me. I will see you tomorrow. Kiss, kiss." Holden said. "Ok Holden, kiss, kiss." She said closing the phone. "Avez-vous faim? (Are you hungry?)" Roslin asked looking at Melody. |
Solomon rolled his eyes, "No matter where I take you, there will always be someone who bothers us." He took the phone from Holden as he hung up, throwing it aside, God knows where. "Now, no more distractions alright? We're here to get away, see the sights, and relax. What do you say to heading down to the jacuzzi later?"
Melody jumped as the woman before her started to yell, "Ah..umm.." She looked away, "N-Non...Je suis Je suis d'accord.(No..I'm..I'm okay.)" Right at that moment, her stomach growled loudly, begging for food. She wrapped her arms around herself, using her hair to cover her red face. |
"Hey now, I know a lot of people, how do you think that I know all of these languages?" Holden said in a teasing manner. He stood up from the bed and walked over to Solomon, "How about we go now?" He said with a wink. He put the glass of wine down, "Unless you wanna start up here and finish there." Holden said as he kissed Solomon's neck.
Roslin smiled, "Ici, je vais vous faire cuire quelque chose. Je ne me dérange pas du tout. (Here I will cook you up something. I don't mind it at all.)" She said turning around. "Ensuite vous pouvez prendre une douche. J'ai quelques robes qui devrait vous convenir. (Afterwards you can take a shower. I have a few dresses that should fit you.)" Roslin said grabbing a few pans. |
Solomon smiled, setting his glass down after chugging the rest of the wine, giving Holden a passionate kiss, "Surprise me~"
She shook her head, "Non non non, je ne pouvais vraiment pas...vous dérange de le faire...J'ai juste besoin...d'attendre jusqu'au lendemain...alors je vais trouver...un proche...(No no no, I really couldn't...bother you to do that...I just need...to wait until morning...then I'll...find...a relative...)" She looked away, knowing that would never happen. She wasn't even sure what her real name was...Her master named her Melody because of her voice. |
"Honey ce n'est pas une peine. Croyez-moi, si j'étais digne de confiance Holden ne serait pas de vous m'avez envoyés. (Honey it is not a bother. Trust me, if I was trustworthy Holden wouldn't of sent you to me.)" Roslin said with a smile. She walked to the other side of the counter, "Il est ok, vous êtes en sécurité ici. (It is ok, you are safe here.)" Roslin said with a smile.
Holden smiled evilly as he went to work on Solomon's shirt. He took it off and started kissing Solomon's collar bone. He started kissing down Solomon's chest, he left a little bite mark and kissed Solomon on the lips passionately. Holden pushed Solomon up to the closest empty wall, he held the kiss the whole time. |
Solomon smiled, working to get Holden's shirt off hoping to not rip it..but...not wanting to break the kiss he gave up and ripped it off. He ran his hands down Holden's sides, unbuttoning his pants with one hand while he lifted Holden up with the other. He turned them around, propping Holden up against the wall as he worked to get his pants off. All the while he kissed Holden furiously, occasionally nibbling on his neck or chest.
Melody kept her gaze on the floor, "N-non, je ne peux pas rester ici...ou ailleurs longtemps...il va me trouver. C'est un homme très méchant et cruel....(No, I can't stay here...or anywhere for long..he'll find me. He's a very...nasty and cruel man.)" She tried to move on from the topic of Big Boss, "Qu-Quelle langue...était-ce? Le lorsque vous parliez à la personne...sur le téléphone?(What..language was that? The one when you were talking to the...person on the phone?)" |
Roslin was going to say something about the man Melody was talking about but decided against it. "C'est en anglais, et la personne au téléphone a été Holden. L'homme qui vous ai dit de venir ici. (That was English, and the person on the phone was Holden. The man that told you to come here.)" She said. "Si vous voulez je peux vous apprendre l'anglais. (If you want I can teach you some English.)" Roslin said with a smile.
Holden smiled in the kiss as Solomon tried to get his pants off. He moved his hands to Solomon's pants and got them unbuttoned with ease. He then put his arms around Solomon's neck. When his pants finally came off he wrapped his legs around Solomon. Holden was moaning in pleasure. |
"En anglais? Je n'ai jamais entendu parler de cette langue.(English? I've never heard of that language.)" She beamed, looking up, her eyes bright with excitement, "Vous me enseigner? Tu ferais ça? Je.. j'aimerais apprendre!(You'd teach me? You'd do that? I..I would love to learn!)" She nodded furiously, wanting to learn something new. "Maître ne me laisse jamais apprendre autre chose que des chansons ...(Master never let me learn anything other than songs...)"
|
"Oui je le ferais. C'est en quelque sorte d'un langage dur, mais il peut être ramassé rapidement. (Yes I would. It's kind of a hard language, but it can be picked up fast.)" Roslin said with a smile. "Mais avant de vous enseigner l'anglais, vous avez besoin de manger, douche, et le sommeil. (But before I teach you English, you need to eat, shower, and sleep.)" Roslin said standing up and walking back to the other side of the counter.
|
Melody nodded a bit, looking back down to the floor, "Où pourrais-je faire? Et... et que dois-je changer en?(Where might I do that? And..what might I change into?)" She clutched at her dress, twisting her heels out then back in nervously.
|
"Eh bien, la douche est juste là. (Well the shower is right over there.)" Roslin said pointing to the cracked open door. "Et je suis sûr que mes vêtements nièces vous adapter. Juste une seconde. (And I'm sure my nieces clothes would fit you. Just one second.)" SHe said as she walked to a closet and dug through it for a second. She walked out holding two hangers. "Ok, vous pouvez porter ce quand vous dormez, (Ok, you can wear this when you sleep,)" She said holding out a nightgown. "Et puis, vous pouvez porter cette question demain.(And then you can wear this tomorrow.)" Roslin said holding out a red Lolita styled dress.
She went to the bathroom and hung the nightgown on a hook. "Avez-vous envie de manger avant ou après la douche? (Do you wanna eat before or after you shower?)" Roslin asked with a smile. |
She shook her head, "Ensuite, si possible...et que je pourrais vous embêter à faire des gaufres? Je ne les avait une fois...mais ils ont été formidables. Je sais..il est tard pour 'breakfast', mais...(Afterwards, if possible...and..could I bother you to make waffles? I only had them once...but they were amazing. I know..it's late for 'breakfast' but...)" She quickly skittered inside the bathroom and closed the door before the woman could answer.
She quickly undressed, hanging her dress up on an empty hanger. She folded her socks neatly on the bathroom counter with her shoes directly below on the floor. She placed her ribbon, which was also neatly folded, next to her socks then climbed into the shower. After a few minutes she stepped out, wrapping a towel around herself while she towel dried her hair. |
"Ya ... je peux... (Ya... I can...)" Roslin said as she went back into the kitchen. She grabbed out the ingredients to make waffles. She whistled a sweet tune as she made the batter. She plugged in the waffle maker and waited for it to heat up.
Holden laid his head on Solomon's chest, and looked around. "Well at least we made it to the bed." He said with a smile. He kissed Solomon's chest, "How about we just lay here? The hot tub will be there tomorrow." Holden said looking up to Solomon. |
Solomon smiled a bit, trailing his finger lightly down Holden's side, "But...I was...oh alright. I can't resist that face." He lifted Holden's chin and kissed him lightly on the lips.
Melody then changed into the night grown while she brushed her thigh length hair. Once she was finished, she came back into the kitchen, watching Roslin silently. Her blue eyes followed the girl around as she moved about the kitchen. She wiggled her toes as she twiddled her fingers. She felt bad for just waltzing into this woman's home and basically demanded all these things of her...sort of. |
Holden smiled and sighed contently. "You are just too sweet to me." He said placing his head on Solomon's chest again. He closed his eyes and drifted into a light sleep.
Roslin poured some batter on the waffle iron. She turned around and looked at Melody, "Aimez-vous les fruits de vous gaufres? J'ai bleuets, les fraises et les framboises. (Do you like fruit on you waffles? I have blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries.)" She asked as she grabbed some maple syrup. "Avoir un siège. (Have a seat.)" Roslin said with a smile and pointing to the chair at island. |
She took a seat, keeping her hands folded in her lap, "Je n'ai jamais eu de fruits sur mon gaufres ... ou ce genre de choses.(I've never had fruit on my waffles...or that stuff.)" She pointed to the bottle of syrup. "C'était juste une gaufre .. plaine.(It was just one waffle..plain.)" She pondered a moment, and with blueberries being her favorite fruit, she nodded, "Puis-je avoir des bleuets?(Can I have some blueberries?)"
|
"Vous allez adorer mon gaufres. (You will love my waffles.)" Roslin said with a smile. She opened up the refrigerator and grabbed the container of blueberries. She went to the sink and rinsed them off. She tore off a piece of paper towel and put it under the container. She grabbed a plate and took the waffle from the waffle iron, she put the plate in front of Melody. "Voici une fourchette et un couteau. Permettez-moi de savoir comment il est. (Here is a fork and knife. Let me know how it is.)" She said with a smile. Roslin turned around and grabbed a glass and poured milk into it and set it next to the plate.
|
Melody took the silverware from Roslin, cutting a small piece of waffle. She took a cautious bite, aware that it could still be fairly hot. After a few moments to taste the piece, she was beaming, "Ces sont étonnants! Beaucoup mieux que celui que j'avais!(These are amazing! Much better than the one I had!)" She quickly devoured the waffles, often commenting on how wonderful they were. She lifted the glass of milk to her lips, quickly downing the white liquid. She smiled, looking back to Roslin once she whipped her face off on a napkin. "Umm...comment savez-vous,..er...Holden, il a été? Je peux dire par son accent, il n'est pas de la France...(Umm...how do you know..er..Holden, was it? I can tell by his accent he's not from France.)"
|
Roslin smiled and watched the girl eat. "Je suis content que ça vous a plu. (I'm glad you liked it.)" She said crossing her arms. "Yep son nom est Holden. Eh bien j'ai passé un an en Amérique quand j'étais au lycée. Ma famille d'accueil a été moyenne et ne m'a pas aidé pendant que j'étais là. Donc, Holden m'a aidé aclamate à la culture. (Yep his name is Holden. Well I spent a year in America when I was in high school. My host family was mean and didn't help me while I was there. So Holden helped me aclamate to the culture.)" Roslin said reminiscing about that year.
|
She nodded, "Je vois...il semble très sympa...(I see...he seems very nice..)" She folded her hands in her lap, looking back to the floor. She doubted she was going to be able to sleep. She would be up all night worrying about Big Boss.
