*8 hours later*

*sigh* The clock on Siana’s watch read 8.30 pm and finally her day had come to an end after finishing her part-time job. This was a day filled with so many emotions that it had exhausted her and she now stood in front of the door to her house with her keys in her hand. Her hands trembled a little bit for the fear of being stalked by someone so dangerous made her a little paranoid. 

What if he was inside her house? What if he had been spying on her? What if he was sitting inside ready to attack her? 

After a long silence, Siana took a deep breath and unlocked the door. She didn’t want to stop living her life just cause of someone like him. And finally, she pushed the door open…it was complete silence. 

She started looking around the whole house which wasn’t too big, it just had one room with a small living room attached to the kitchen and a balcony which was Siana’s favorite part. After looking everywhere, she found nothing but still, her panic just seemed to increase and her hands started trembling again. 

*meow* Siana froze on hearing that sound and suddenly a smile appeared on her face as she finally heard her little kitten’s voice who was sitting on the balcony on her small cushion. She felt relieved that it was safe and that the stalker hadn’t been there. 

She went to the balcony and cuddled it in her arms. “I’m so glad you’re safe Kai…” She sighed in relief as she kissed the top of his head. The kitten looked up at her and licked her cheek which made Siana laugh. 

It was a white kitten with little patches of black color around its body. Some time ago, Siana had found it outside of the building that she lived in. It was in a dirty condition and was wet because of the rain that had happened that day. 

Siana took it to the vet and was planning to give it up for adoption. However, somehow felt drawn to it from the moment she saw it and wasn’t able to leave without taking it in. It had been 3 months since then and Siana had gotten really attached to the kitten.

She then went back to her normal routine of cleaning everything but she was feeling a little down than usual because of all that had happened during the day. In the end, she just lay on her bed and was exhausted from all the emotions of the day. The kitten lay on top of her and suddenly licked her cheek. Siana giggled again and rubbed her head. 

“You can tell I’m not feeling good huh?” Siana giggled as she kissed the top of its head. “Well a lot happened today and it scared me…I hope nothing goes wrong in the future…” 

Siana dozed off in no time from exhaustion. The kitten stared at her for a few seconds and then went to the other end of the bed. 

A thin layer of clouds formed around it and when it cleared, the kitten had turned into a young boy who seemed around the age of 7. He had the same white hair with some black patches and wore rather normal clothes. 

He was a half-human-cat, they could change their forms and transform into humans whenever they wanted. Kai had been around her observing her for the past 3 years and today was the first time he had changed his form and it was all because of the dark energy that he felt around her. It scared him and he didn’t dare touch her in his human form cause of how strong it was. 

He closed his eyes and concentrated. He was using telepathy to talk to someone. 

“Your majesty…we might have to do something, it seems like the time has come…the princess’s life is in danger.” He said to that person as he talked to the queen, Siana’s mother who had been in hiding for a very long time. 

“I really hope I get help from a protector soon cause I won’t be able to handle them myself…” Kai said to himself as he sighed deeply. Siana’s condition concerned him cause her mood was also getting the affected cause of the dark energy around her. 

*8 hours earlier*

“I like you so much, Ana…” Oh, that nervous smile on her face…Verona liked her too!!

Siana stood in the middle of a flower valley as she listened to that confession and jumped into the arms of the girl she had loved ever since the start of elementary school. At the age of 13, Siana finally heard a confession and couldn’t control her happiness. 

The sunlight made her dark blonde hair shine golden. She looked so bright just like her personality and that smile made her look the prettiest. Siana just wanted to drown in those blue eyes of hers. 

“I like you too!” Siana cried as she replied to that confession and kissed the girl she loved the most.

The library was quiet and Siana sat in the place that she already was in. Her head rested against the bookshelf as she slept soundly. There was no one around her and it had been about an hour since she had been crying and having a mental breakdown in the arms of a strange girl. 

Siana smiled unconsciously as she remembered her again…her first love. The girl who had made her feel the happiest, who was her home and safest place. Also, the girl who had broken her heart into pieces and disappeared from her life with no word. It had been 5 years and yet, she couldn’t forget about her and still hoped she’d come back. 

Her phone buzzed suddenly and Siana snapped back into reality. She woke up feeling drowsy and tired, it took her a minute to realize where she was and what had happened earlier. 

Siana felt scared that the guy was still around and he’d hurt her, she panicked for a second. But when she saw no one around, she felt calmed and sat back down again. Slowly, she focused on her memory and started to remember everything. She got up and looked around to find the girl who had been there but she saw no one. For a second, Siana almost believed that it was all her illusion and that there was never any girl who comforted her. 

The alarm on her phone was for a lecture and she was getting ready to leave the library. However, just as she was about to pick up her bag, she noticed something. There was a new ring on her bag, it was a thin band with a small blue gemstone in it. Siana’s heart almost dropped as she saw it…

The blue gemstone had always been Siana’s favorite and that’s why she had given it to Verona on her birthday as a promise ring. Siana had a pink gemstone ring that always remained on her ring finger. 

But the big question was…where did this band come from? Was Verona back? Was she the girl who had comforted her? If yes then why did she choose to disappear like this? Why did she leave without a word 5 years ago and was still doing the same thing?

Only they both knew about the rings and they were custom-made, so Siana couldn’t be wrong. It was indeed Verona’s but then why did she leave it here and choose to disappear? Was it a sign that they were done and she’d never come back to Siana…?

Several questions filled Siana’s head as she held that band in her hand and ran around the library looking for her. Her heart filled with anxiety as she felt like she was going to lose her again after being so close to her. She had a strong feeling that Verona was around but the more she ran, the higher her anxiety got cause she couldn’t see anyone. 

Finally, she came to a stop as she reached the entrance of the library, the only area where she hadn’t looked. Her breath started to get unstable cause of how panicked she felt and she started to feel a little dizzy. She looked around multiple times but saw no one. 

Siana almost gave up as more time passed with her seeing no one and she turned around to walk away when she heard footsteps and her heart stopped beating…

  • Princess or Prey?   Chapter 19

    The wind caused rustlings in the forest and the darkness made it very hard to see anything that lay in front of Verona. Suddenly thunder sounds were heard and before she could look up at the dark clouds, her head was hit with raindrops, falling swiftly one after another, making her drenched within seconds.She sighed as she showed disappointment in her luck. However, the darkness and rain didn’t seem to scare her. What scared her was what was inside that forest. She was there to meet someone and to meet them she had to go deep into the forest. The trees were too dense for her car to drive any further. So, in pitch-black darkness, she set out to reach the center on foot. She had no source of light with her so once again she forced her injured body to use up the rest of her vampire powers to see in darkness and protect herself from any possible prey. Her body had weakened a lot due to the attacks and she had noticed that both her arms had nail marks on them and were bleeding a little

  • Princess or Prey?   Chapter 18

    Siana smiled slyly as she warned Verona about what was about to come and how she was going to ruin her life. Verona just laid there trying to get up but was hit too hard and couldn’t get up anymore. The anger in her eyes was still very strong and annoyed her that she couldn’t do anything. But no matter how hard she tried, she wasn’t able to get up as the werewolf was stepping on her back. Its weight stopped her from moving at all and she could just watch as Siana laughed at her condition. She didn’t seem to be affected at all by being choked for so long. Her voice and her body seemed perfectly fine. Chloe, on the other hand, had turned into a mess. She was sobbing loudly as she called for help. Verona found it pathetic and was embarrassed to have partnered up with someone so weak. Siana found it amusing; she liked her cries for help as they made her feel superior and strong. “Well, goodbye for now. I shall see if you can still reach your goal after this.” Siana said as she waved h

    “Cause I hate you to death!” Verona screamed as she gripped Siana’s neck tightly. “Your family had ruined everything for me and for my ancestors. And you being the current royalty, deserve a torturous death.” Her voice got scarier with each second. “S…stop…” Siana whispered in a weak voice as she held onto Verona’s arms, trying her best to pull onto them but all her efforts were in vain. “No, bitch!” The force of her hands increased and Siana’s hand banged against the wall. Siana gasped for air as she started to suffocate and gripped Verona’s arms tighter. While doing so, her hands pierced into Verona’s paper-white skin, and dark maroon blood flowed out of them in no time falling onto Siana’s fingertips.Verona had no time to notice that in her fit of anger but this was exactly what Siana wanted. She needed her blood to get what she wanted. “V, I think you’re going a bit too far…she needs to be alive till we get what we need…” Chloe whispered from a distance as she herself was sca

    “I hope this day goes well…” Siana said as she looked in the mirror. She saw a thin figure wearing a black pair of jeans with a white shirt tucked in it. A puffy denim jacket was placed over it and it had her brown hair resting lightly over it. She sighed deeply as she placed her bag on her shoulder. “Wish me good luck, Kai.” She whispered before she closed the door and locked the apartment. Kai meowed once and turned into a human as soon as the door closed. “I wish you good luck Siana.” He whispered back as he waved his hand at the closed door. “Let’s see if they make a move today.” Siana turned towards the other end of the hallway and there was a sly smile on her face. Siana had not seen Verona for a few days and things had been pretty calm in the college. However, that day she had a strong feeling that something was about to go down and that was making her nervous for no reason. The day was going okay for starters but the whole day she kept having this feeling that somebody wa

  • Princess or Prey?   Chapter: Verona and Siana's backstory 2

    *age 13*It had been a little over 2 years since Verona and Siana had been friends and their friendship had evolved a lot as now Verona mostly just hung out with Saina and had left her gang. The four of them were very jealous of Siana for taking their friend away and even threatened her to go away a few times but it never worked.

Slowly her feelings did change for Verona, who was always really sweet to her and was there when she needed her, and she realized that she might like her. But chose to never confess.

  • Princess or Prey?   Chapter: Verona and Siana's backstory

She was taught the manners of the modern world and living an urban life. Since her birth, she had been brought up according to the royal traditions and she did know a lot of things that other people did; her life was a little too fancy to live a normal life but now things were about to change.

All her excitement died down in no time and she started
