Love Bites Hard!!!!!

Gabriel nodded. "Alright Alice. Why are you crying?"

Victoria blinked at him. She did not understand him. "What, don't you like being the prince?"

"Because my father yells at me everynight and thats why I am diffrent then the others." ALice said frustrated.

Gabriel frowned and thought about hugging her. He already knew that was a bad idea though. For some reason, he didn't like seeing her like that.

James simply stated, "No." He gestured towards the door again, telling her to exit.

ALice sighed and said "Are you hungry? I will get you some food." SHe said quickly

Victoria exited and glanced at him. "Why don't you like being the prince?" In a way, all her questions were just leaving her with more questions.

ALice sighed and said "Are you hungry? I will get you some food." SHe said quickly but didnt leave. She sighed and sat on her bed. Her room was huge and blakc and white. She got up and tossed him some of her brother's clothes. "THis should do you for tonight." SHe said looking away. She pulled out a slender nightgown which was red and a sleek cover. SHe changed and put her long black hair up and walked out.

Gabriel shook his head. he easily caught the clothes and changed when she left the room. He sighed and sunk to the mattress. He put his head and his hands and blinked back tears. He was thinking of his family.

Alice came in and saw him sitting there. She walked over ever so carefully. "Im sorry about your family. I wish I could have stopped it..." SHe whispered putting her hand on his shoulder.

Gabriel swallowed and looked up. "It's okay. There's nothing you could have done."

"Yes there is.... I could have foraged my father's signature and stopped them or something... if I had known you before." ALice said sitting next to him a small smile on her face.

Gabriel looked at her. "You didn't. Don't feel guilty about it." He sighed as his mind wandered to the girl he had loved and how they had ruthlessly murdered her right in front of him. he swallowed and closed his eyes again.

"Who was the girl..." Alice whispered hearing his thoughts. "You dont have to tell me...."

"She was my girlfriend. I think there was a small chance she could have been my soulmate" Gabriel's eyes were still closed.

"Im....sorry." Alice said feeling hurt but she didnt know why. She couldnt love a slave that was out of the question but it wouldnt be the first time she had fallen for the help.

Gabriel sighed. "It's not your fault. Do you have someone you love?"

"I fell for a man for was part of the help and my father killed him and made me drink his blood I tried to stop but my father hit me and drank the rest of his blood and his screams.... it haunts my dreams." ALice whispered tears falling.

Gabriel opened his eyes and looked at her. He hugged her. "I'm sorry Alice."

Alice hugged him with a sad smile. "I..its... fine...." she said she couldnt think. She could smell his blood and she pulled away and stood up. She gripped the bed and looked away with difficultly.

Gabriel looked at her and blinked. He cocked his head to the side. "What's wrong?"

"Blood. Ypur blood has a strong sent."

Gabriel blinked. "Oh. What can I do then?"

James pushed her ahead of him towards the kitchen. "No reason."

Victoria glanced at him. If was official, she had more questions then answers. She looked ahead of her again.

James brought her into the kitchen. "What would you like?" His voice filled with amusement since it was usually a servant or slave that would be serving him.
