The Auction novel Chapter 7

Tatina POV

Lila walks quickly as we jet down to the seafood bar. I wonder why she is acting so strange. Probably nothing. I have lived my life being around people acting strange. She seems to care about me and everything going on with me. I am probably just I don't know being ridiculous. We walk up to a bar at the end of Bourbon Street. This has been the longest walk ever. Maybe it has not. Maybe I am being dramatic. I am tired and extremely hungry.

We arrive at the seafood bar and it is all blacked out. The windows are black and there is no sign. Lila doesn't seem bothered by it. But for me, I find it somewhat disturbing about all of this. It seems off to me. Of course, I have never been here before so maybe this is perfectly normal.

"Lila, I do not mean to sound ungrateful, but why is well why this place is all well you know ....it is blacked out. And to be honest it is giving me the creeps." I ask. I am trying to be as respectful as possible.

"It belongs to a vampire my dear. Do not be alarmed they all know who you belong to," she says.

Belong to. Okay. I guess I do. I guess I do belong to him. For now, I belong to someone. It almost feels nice to well belong to someone. I do not feel like a burden in any way at all. I feel like my life is falling into the right place. Maybe all of this will be good for me.

"Okay. I was not trying to sound like I did not trust you. Please do not think that," I say.

She gives me this smile like I just made her mad or something. I can't figure her out. She is so nice to me but she is off. Something is really off with her. For now, I have to just let it go. There is nothing I can do about this current situation I am in. So I will go with it.
