chapter 29 : An Order

��For starters, I am here for the vampire potion, not to satisfy my sexual desires,�� Alexander clarified to Becca, who still didn��t seem to believe his words.
��Then why would I be lying unconscious here in the middle of a jungle at night?�� she pointed out.
��Someone explain to this fucking lady that I have no ill intentions towards her,�� he grumbled in annoyance, running a hand through his hair.
��Alex didn��t do anything, Becca,�� Vanessa stated after enjoying the drama when Alexander was accused by Becca.
��See?�� Alexander said to Becca.
Becca didn��t say anything as soon as her eyes fell on the man with different colored eyes. Her eyes pierced through his, and she didn��t get a warm feeling from him at all; rather it gave her goosebumps even by looking at him.
��Who are you?�� Becca questioned Phil.
��This is my brother, Phil Insworthe,�� Alexander introduced, then pointed to Pristine, ��This is Pristine Grace.��
��Oh, I have heard about the two of you,�� Becca mumbled and extended a hand to shake with Pristine first, who accepted it politely. ��I am Becca Hertford,�� she said and then shook hands with Phil.
When her hand came in touch with Phil��s, she felt a weird aura surrounding her, more like a malicious one. Phil didn��t seem the type of person Alexander told Becca about, and she didn't like what she was sensing from him.
��Nice to meet you at last, Becca,�� Phil uttered with a jovial smile on his lips. He was back to his normal appearance from the vampire form after mourning for Caleb��s death with the other vampires. ��You are beautiful.��
Becca smiled and removed her hand from his, turning towards Alexander and Vanessa, ��So, what happened, and how did I faint?��
��Well, Pristine thought that the vampire potion could be gained after biting you and sucking your blood a little. Therefore, she made you unconscious,�� Alexander spoke up, making Becca place her hand on her hips.
��So you knew it and even supported others to bite me,�� Becca complained, but later on sighed, understanding that was the whole point from the start. ��That was your job. Anyway, continue.��
��But the other vampires attacked us when Phil was about to bite and we had a skirmish, then a vampire bit you,�� Vanessa said to Becca.
��What?�� Becca gasped and placed her hand over her neck. ��Did that vampire already become a king then?��
��Becca, he died,�� Alexander informed her and took her hand in his, noticing that it was about to be dawn soon. ��Your father will be in to check on you, so we should go.��
��Why did he die though?�� she questioned to which Alexander didn��t want to answer.
Thus, Pristine answered instead, ��Because your blood is poisonous for vampires. It's now clear that the potion cannot be attained by sucking your blood.��
��Wh���� Becca was interrupted by Alexander.
��Becca, you have to go back. Your father might come to check on you and find you missing.�� Alexander didn't want her to stay here and get in any trouble later on.
Becca nodded and went back to her house with Alexander. Even though Hertford Manor had a strong spell as a barrier that would prevent other creatures from entering, Alexander could step onto Becca��s balcony freely since it was an open space.
��So, you protected me from the other vampires,�� Becca stated to Alexander, who felt slightly guilty. She just blurted out whatever came into her head when she woke up.
��No, I couldn't protect you properly, even though I promised I would. Still, another vampire got to bite you,�� he let out, sitting on the railing, his voice filled with regret. He shouldn't have let her out of his sight even for a second during the fight.
Becca placed a hand over his cheek, softly caressing it. Then, she said with a smile, ��It��s okay. If that vampire didn��t bite me and Phil would have, he would be dead today. So, whatever happened, happened for the best.��
��Aren��t you mad that I didn��t tell you the truth about going into the Bellmor jungle?�� he questioned.
She chuckled. ��I promised to help you, so you are allowed to do so with or without my will. If I get to live a normal life after this potion is taken from me, I am happy to do so. I can eat warm food, and my dad wouldn��t keep me under such strict observations.��
A part of Becca didn��t want the potion to be taken because once taken, Alexander would leave her, and she wasn't ready to let go of him. Yet, she had to stick to her promise.
A smile evolved on his face at her words. ��Okay, I will take my leave now,�� Alexander announced and jumped out.
Becca sucked in a deep breath, watching Alexander leave. Then she went inside and tried to sleep before her dad arrived, but as usual, she was unable to sleep; it was as if she lost her ability to sleep forever, and yet she could survive the entire day without getting tired.
Meanwhile, Phil was waiting for Alexander to return along with Vanessa and Pristine.
Once Alexander returned, Phil said to him, ��I have to head back and punish those vampires who attacked us. Meanwhile, make arrangements to bring Becca to the vampire world.��
Vanessa gasped and Alexander��s eyes grew as wide as saucers.
��Why to the vampire world?�� Alexander asked Phil.
��She will be the only human there, it will be risky,�� Vanessa uttered.
��We can try to observe Becca for a while and see how the potion can be attained,�� Pristine informed the Insworthe twins.
��Ph���� Alexander was cut off by Phil.
��See you in our world, brother.�� With that, he went back to the vampire world along with Pristine.
Alexander didn��t like the thought of taking Becca to the vampire world. He didn��t know why, but he was bound by the instructions and he had to follow them.
��I don��t like this idea at all,�� Vanessa told Alexander.
��Neither do I,�� Alexander mumbled. ��Let��s go back to the dorm, Ness.��
Before the winter vacation ended, Alexander made Sebastian send another fake email to Shier Hertford, lying that the college has been reopened. Actually, it was to take Becca to the vampire world.
Becca was excited when Alexander told her that she was ordered to go to the vampire world. She wanted to see the vampire world and she agreed at that instant after hearing the proposition. Her belongings were packed and a driver was assigned to her to drive her to the university. Becca couldn��t tell the driver to stop and drop her off at one side, otherwise, the driver would complain to Shier.
Once Becca was dropped at the entrance of the college, she waited for Alexander to come and pick her up. When she didn��t see Alexander, she was about to call him until someone placed a hand over her mouth.
��Don��t speak, and walk with me,�� the voice whispered in her ear and she obeyed quietly, not even turning her head to see who it was until she was taken in a closed room.
