Hey guy

Why do we put each other through hell? Why can't we just get over ourselves?

(Riley's POV)

My muscles are soar from all the training I've been doing. But it was a good pain. It felt good to be back on my feet and running around.Xavier disappeared last night after my training and he wasn't in the room now either.

I got up showered and went around the castle looking for him. He had left me a plate of food which I was thankful for. I was obviously not allowed to roam the entire castle freely, for to the rest of the world I was still a slave.

Xavier had told me that I could explore the first and the second floor as they belonged to him and his sister ezlyn.

I quickly started to pace my way across the first floor as I was growing impatient. I wanted to see Xavier, for no particular reason. I don't know why but I just wanted to see him.

As I approached the end of the long corridor, I could hear hushed voices coming from inside of a room. Its door was slightly open, so being me I decided to listen.

"But how do you propose to proceed considering all of his guards?"

It was an unfamiliar voice. It was deep and almost harsh, yet somehow I wasn't afraid of him.

" I am his son, I can easily enter his room unnoticed." It was now a voice I knew too well-Xavier.

"His guards and the kingdom hates him anyway. I don't think they'd care much if the king was dead much less question their beloved prince." It was now Lucian speaking.

" I don't know how the world has come to see you as ruthless, brother, for everyone inside the castle is well aware of your kindness. They are in fact nothing but rumours." He continued.

"Do you think this will work and are you planning for the betterment of the human race, if it does?" The stranger asked

"Yes I do think so-" Xavier didn't get to finish his sentence as my hand hit the vase sitting on the shelf next to me that I hadn't seen before. The vase shattered as it hit the ground.

I wanted to make a run for it because I didn't want to get caught. But sadly for me vampires had superspeed. Just another plus point that we humans don't have.

Xavier rushed to the door and as he saw me, he backed me into a corner. My back hit a wall and he stood towering over me.

"What the hell do you think you are doing, spying on me?" Boy did he sound angry.

"I wasn't trying to, I was just looking for you."

"How much of it did you hear?"

"Almost all of it"

I could see that he was trying to restrain himself. I'm sure he wanted to punch me.

"Get back to the room. I'll deal with you later." He almost shouted at me.

I guess I deserved that for eavesdropping.

As I walked my way back to the room I thought about what I just heard.

Were they actually planning to kill the king? Or did I just hear something wrong?

Sons can't kill their own fathers right? Or can they?
