Bedding My Vampire Mate

He stretched his hand and tried to punch him for the third time but Derrick grabbed his hand this time.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Derrick shouted in annoyance.

"Why do you keep hitting me? Have you lost your mind?".

"Yes, I have lost my mind and this is all your fault," Raymond raved. He violently pushed Derrick away from him.

"Out of everyone out there, why did you choose to attack her? And I thought you liked her little brother so why didn\'t you spare the small boy from this huh?" Raymond shouted.

"Who is the one you are referring to as her? And who is this little brother you are talking about...,"

"Stop pretending because you know exactly what you did some minutes ago and two days ago?" Raymond cut him short angrily.

"When you threatened to do something to her, I thought you said that in a feat of anger because you didn\'t like how I got distracted. It never crossed my mind that you will go as far as attacking her behind me...,"

"You keep talking in riddles so will you tell me in plain words what this is about?" Derrick abruptly interrupted.

He raised his right hand and wiped the blood that had dripped onto his neck.

"Don\'t you think I at least deserve to know the reason I got beaten up...,"

"You almost killed her with a fallen electrified wire and also nearly killed Tony with a moving car two days ago so quit the act. I can\'t fathom what I will do if you keep on pretending not to know what I am talking about," Raymond threatened coldly.

"Sorry to disappoint you but I don\'t remember doing any of those things you accused me of....,"

"I swear I will forget the fact that we were ever friends and rip off that mouth of yours if you keep on lying to my face," Raymond grabbed Derrick\'s collar ready to punch him again if he uttered one more lie.

"And why are you so certain that I was the one who did those things you accused me of?" Derrick questioned. He didn\'t struggle or try to defend himself.

"Because I threatened to harm her if you don\'t come to your senses....,"

"I am not doing this based on suspicions but I followed you two days ago and that was how I witnessed how you almost killed Tony with a car that had no driver in it," Raymond explained seriously.

"And tonight I was following you when I witnessed how you almost electrocuted her earlier...,"

"But I did no such things....,"

"We are the only ones who wield such powers so tell me who would have done that if not you huh?" Raymond challenged fiercely.

"Yes, it\'s true that I was close to Tony\'s school that day but believe it or not, I wasn\'t the one responsible for the incident you mentioned," Derrick explained softly.

"And today I indeed passed through the road of Joanna\'s home but I promise I wasn\'t the one who attacked her...,"

"If you weren\'t the one then who did?" Raymond asked. His expression showed he didn\'t believe what Derrick said and Derrick knew it.

"Believe it or not Ray, I am not responsible for the things you accused me of. And I promise you that I will catch the one who framed me and prove my innocence," Derrick asserted. He brushed Raymond\'s hands off and stomped away.

Raymond stared at Derrick\'s departing back in silence.

He was so sure that Derrick was responsible for Anthony\'s and Joanna\'s attack some minutes ago but after his confrontation with him, he didn\'t know what to believe anymore.

"Rick can be playful and naughty at times but I know he is not the type to blatantly lie, especially about such a serious matter," Raymond mumbled.

"So if he wasn\'t the one who attacked Miss Butterfly and her brother then who did?".

Raymond tried to think of the possibility that another person attacked the two siblings but always arrived at a dead end each time.

The three beings which exist in the Twipera Kingdom are vampires, werewolves and humans.

And out of these three beings, humans were the weakest and the most vulnerable.

Yes, vampires and werewolves possessed immense powers including immortality but he is aware that they can\'t make cars move on their own or control an electric wire to fall from its position.

Only beings like him and Derrick are capable of such things and that is why he found it hard to believe that Derrick was innocent of all these.

"Whether or not he is innocent I will find it out for myself. And I promise I will make whosoever is responsible for this pays dearly if it turns out not to be Rick," Raymond declared with his fists clasped.

At Joanna\'s home, she was putting on her pyjamas after she showered when a knock came on her door.

"Come in," Joanna ushered the person in as she continued buttoning up her pyjamas.

Anthony pushed the door open and strolled into the room. He made his way into his favourite spot in the room which was Joanna\'s bed.

"Good evening, Big Sis," He greeted politely as she sat on the grey sheet bed. He made himself feel at home.

"Big Sis, how was your day? Did you and Brother Amos hang out today?" He asked sheepishly.

He unintentionally mentioned the name of the person whom Joanna has been trying not to think about.

"Actually, I have been waiting for you for a long time now," Anthony continued to talk when Joanna didn\'t utter a word.

"Why?" Joanna asked as she turned and gaze at his face. "Do you need help with your homework or...,"

"So that we can hang out together and go to bed like we did when it was just you, me and Brother Amos," Anthony smiled.

It has only been a day since he returned but he had already missed the times he spent with Joanna and Amos over at Audrey\'s apartment.

"Do you mean you want to sleep in my room tonight?" Joanna asked and proceeded to where he sat on the bed.

"Hmm...," Anthony shook his head affirmatively.

"But...,"

"Tonight I don\'t want to sleep in the same room with you because I can\'t fall asleep but to protect you....,"

"Protect me from whom?" Joanna cut in, her suspicious glares directed at his face.
