Wandering

Two small tears crept town Xcelia's face, but she wiped them away hurridly. "N-nothing."

Hood leaned forward and held her hand, "What is it? Your upset it has to be something."

Xcelia pulled herself as close to him as she could, more tears sliding down her face. Wordlessly she pointed to the man standing across the street.

Hood looked across at the man, "Who is it? Don't worry I'd rip there throat out before they could hurt you."

Xcelia took several shuddering breaths. "My old master. The one who turned me."

Hood wrapped an arm around her. "Don't worry. He may have turned you, but that doesn't mean he owns you." He glared at the man across the street angry at himbecause just his presence caused Xcelia so much distress.

Xcelia began shaking. "He does own me though, he does..."

"well, if your his property he cantry to claim you." he kissed the top of her head, "I won't let you go. Not as long as I have breath to hold on to you."

"I don't know what he wants though." Xcelia wrapped her arms around Hood. "He left me a year ago for a younger, prettier version."

"This may not be the time but i realised a moment ago that we forgot a condom." Hood was just a little scared but at the same time he was determined that no one was going to get to Xcelia.

Xcelia smiled bitterly. "No problem, I cant have children anyway." Her gaze snapped to the man across the street. "He made sure of that."

Hood looked down at her. "For that I'll kill him." whispered Hood

Xcelia shook her head. "Just meant he wouldn't have to worry about any problems when he fucked me."

Hood glanced back at the man and went to stand up.

Xcelia grabbed his arm. "Dont." She whispered.

He touched her chin, "I can't stand seeing anyone leave you like this." He prised her fingers off his arm and edged out of the seat.

Xcelia sighed and strode from the dinner before Hood could stop her. She crossed the street and removed her sword.

Hood ran out after her. terrified that she would get hurt.

Xcelia pointed her sword at her old master, feeling a shudder go through her at the look on his face.
"So, slept with him yet?" He asked Xcelia.
Her eyes narrowed. "Wouldn't you like to know."

Hood stood back from the conversation, eyes flitering from one to the other.

The male vampire chuckled and shoved Xcelia out of the way, walking towards Hood. "So, how long have you known Miss Le Phantom?" He asked, folding his arms.
Xcelia winced as she collided with the ground, eyes locked on her old master.

Hood looked down at Xcelia on the ground and wanted to gather her up in his arms. "It's none of your business. What she are I do." He said trying to look bigger than he felt.

"Oh but it is." The male vampire snapped. "She's my property, not that she's really worth it." He looked over at Xcelia who was standing again.

"She not yours." said Hood the anger returning.No one belongs to anyone.

"Oh yes she is." He turned to Xcelia, grabbing her and forcing her to her knees, yanking her shirt up to reveal the scars on her stomach. "These prove she's mine."
