CHAPTER FIVE

*

JASON’S DEN WAS MORE of an elegant house on the side of the road, which I used to visit sometimes when I was dating Jason. His house was a two-story building with a large living room, walls decorated with a lot of photographs and paintings. Leather couches and sofa sets dotted the entire living room, all aesthetically decorated, covered in crimson red sheets. Scarlet rugs were arranged in a meaningful pattern on the floor, covering the sitting area. Usually, this place was frequented by a lot of vampires. Today, there were only one or two. They both looked on, rather hungrily, at me as I entered through the single point of entry – a thick, heavy door facing southward.

Ignoring the vampires, I moved on, knowing exactly where I would find Jason, comfortably sitting on a throne-like chair on the far side of the L-shaped living room.

The vampires must had already indicated to him that I had come, so there was no way he could not have know I had come.

After I turned the corner, I saw him squatting on the chair like usual, fancying being a king. He smiled at me, rather wickedly and tauntingly, his long black hair creating a matching contrast with his scarlet red eyes and sharp white fangs protruding the sides of his mouth.

Instantly Jason retracted the fangs inside his mouth and stood up.

“Alysson... long time no see!”

I raised my hand and stopped him.

Jason pouting: “What, no hugs???”

I curled my lips. “Not really... not since you said that obnoxious detective that I could kill Arabella.”

Jason smiled. “Why are you mad about that? It’s the truth, isn’t it? Didn’t you tell poor Arabella that she should not hang out with the likes of us? Didn’t you even fight with her over it when you found out?”

“I did, but that’s not a reason to kill somebody.”

“In your case, it might be... might be...” Jason started walking around me. “We all know how angry you can get... that infamous temper you had... oh my, my...”

“You have a temper, Jason, not me! Did you forget the reason we broke up?”

Jason said straight-faced, “I haven’t forgotten... yet I’ve allowed you to strut in here where you’re not wanted, haven’t I? I’m the bigger person here and I won’t be spoken to like you’re doing right now.”

I wondered at the change of tone and style in how Jason addressed me. Clearly, I had hit a nerve! He really did see himself as a king.

“Respect’s given to those who deserve it, Jason. And after your antics with the Detective, giving respect to you is under consideration.”

“I didn’t need to tell the Detective anything. Just a nudge. Besides, you were jealous of Arabella. Why else would you argue with her on her being with me?”

“Because I cared for her? Because I didn’t want her to get hurt? Did those thoughts ever come to your head?”

“You cared for Arabella? You considered her your friend? Then why did she hide things from you, Alysson? I will tell you why.
