Chapter 8: 8. A Town
"Eight hours?!" She screamed in shock. She couldn't remember the last time she had slept so long at a stretch. She often woke up at least once or twice in the space of five hours. She must have been very tired.
Vae nodded her response, still standing, her head bowed a little as she looked down at Mauve who still sat on the bed with her legs sprawled out in front of her.
"Did you get some rest?" She asked, picking up a leg of her boots.
"Yes, Princess."
Mauve didn't bother asking any more questions. She wasn't curious and the faster they left they continued the journey, the closer she would get to the vampire region but first, they would have to go through Nolands.
She shuddered at the thought, the suspense wasn't killing her but she would like to get this journey part over with. Just a day and she was already losing her mind, the idea that she would have to endure this for another two weeks was sure to drive her nuts.
The boots proved a little too difficult to wear at first that Vae had to help but soon enough she was ready and she walked out of the tent. She stepped out and came face to back with a vampire. "Argh!" She yelled unladylike.
The vampire didn't flinch, he merely turned around slowly studying the girls. He was tall and even though he wasn't as huge as Danag, Mauve was certain he was taller. He stepped aside without a word, Mauve didn't think she had seen him before now. She scoffed and walked away. @@@@
Just how many vampires were there? She wondered how come she had not seen him before now but he was the least of her worries. The journey was about to resume which meant she had to brace herself for another bumpy ride.
She could hear voices but not loud enough to hear any definite conversation. Just sounds that showed the town was alive. She heard shrieks of joy and she wondered what the commotion was about and if the screamer had a normal life.
She could not think of a time when she was happy enough to scream. She sighed and closed the curtains, it was making her gloomy and well aware of her situation. She rested her head and hoped that she would doze off but she didn't.
Halfway through the journey and Mauve that if they hit one more bump, there would be a wet patch in her underwear. She swallowed and summoned the courage to ask for a stop. "Hello!" She muttered but no response or reaction.
She immediately became annoyed, the night was silent enough for her voice to be heard and Vampires can also pick up the smallest of sounds, so she knew she was being ignored.
Mauve did not realize what she was doing until Vae yelled out, "Princess, you are going to hurt yourself."
Mauve stopped banging the carriage and rubbed her hand, it was a little sore but not enough to be alarmed. "It is their fault for ignoring me." She blurted out as she tried to look for a reasonable excuse to not look deranged.
Vae did not say a word but Mauve could feel the judgment in her eyes. She sighed, the vampire king would know something was up if she didn't tone down her erratic behavior.
However, she was just frustrated from the long journey and her hurting buttocks that it was getting pretty hard to be prim and proper. Thankfully, the carriage stopped and she could turn her attention away from Vae.
"What is it, princess?" Danag scoffed when he got to the door of the carriage. "I am not your babysitter."
