I stared at Vampir's eyes, him wearing his royal robe with his crown on his head. He looked so handsome with his eyes dark and filled with a feeling I could not point out. I stared at him as the memory of us running around the garden hit me. I could remember the first time I had seen him, how scared I was. My heart fluttered as my tears slipped yet I found a smile gracing my face. He stared at me, watching with his eyes getting darker knowing his rage was hitting the roof. He was misinterpreting, his body bolted up his chair and I knew he was on his way down to end me. I stood waiting for it. If I was to die then I would die by his hand.
In all the mist, the doors suddenly flew wide open, the sound echoing all over the room so much so I flinched with my eyes snapping to the door. Two young girls around the age of eighteen walked in. They wore simple white dresses that floated all around them. Light suddenly shone through the door, light that could blind. T
I wondered if he was happy, wondered if it pleased him to see me like this. I stared at him, begging in a way and not even knowing what I was begging for. I saw the queen watch me only to turn and stare at the king.“My name is princess….”I paused, the pain hitting at once as I swallowed.“I am Anastasia Furthrone and I was sent to wed the king.” I paraphrased, waiting for the words to sink in.“The king is my mate…..”My words were cut off by the queen herself.“Vampir, why am I just hearing of this?” Her voice was loud and clear.“You don’t like being disturbed when planning.” He answered with her own words.“Don’t patronize me boy, there is no way you have a mate, please tell me you did not fall for that trick?”“She is mom,now
The baby kicked with all he had. I lay frozen where I was as a laugh escaped me. Our baby was not giving up and so was I. I pulled back, laughing, my hands going over to my stomach. I would not give up on him because he did not give up on me. My hands trembled, feeling the movement with the feeling of warmth washing over me.“I am sorry baby, I am here and daddy is here,” I said brushing my stomach, giggling. It was truly one of the best moments of my life with my heart drumming. My head snapped up as I saw the king staring at me still shocked, in his hand was a golden dagger and I was taken back as my eyes stayed on it. So, he was going to stab me with that. The dagger was sharp and long, it looked ancient with writings on it. I swallowed, watching his eyes close only to open as he shook off whatever he was feeling. His eyes held mine and I could not help but shake my head.“No husband, I will not let you kill our baby. Please.” I said, crawling backward and practically sliding on my
He would have killed me.“I am sorry to disturb this beautiful moment of you two but I just have to point out that there is no way this woman is carrying your child son.” The voice came just next to us. I sighed, my heart dropping as I turned to stare yet quickly averted my eyes before I went blind. Her hair was shining like the sun, so much so I swear the sun held nothing to her. You could tell that her light was pure yet something seemed so wrong with her as if tainted.“Mother are you sure?I know Wife, she is not that much of a good liar and I just have this feeling, I can’t shake it, she is carrying my child.” The king said back staring right into his mother’s face making me wonder if the light did not bother him.“You of all people should know better Aristarcus or have you forgotten?” The queen asked having my heart drum as I fumbled with my hands. I felt her eye
A rainbow cast over the water with animals I had never seen before coming out of I don’t know where. The garden was soon packed with all the trees and grass, dancing to the cool and moist breeze. All animals gathered either around the king or the queen. It was a wonder to watch and I felt like an intruder. I did not belong here, it felt like heaven on the realm and I was just not pure enough to be here. The king soon placed me down where my feet touched the moist soil feeling as if it was massaging my feet. I watched in awe as the witch queen was slowly lowered to the ground with her laugh dying down.The queen’s eyes opened with her landing on her feet. She started patting and greeting the animals and it seemed they understood her, leaving me wary. She would lower her forehead and place it on the foreheads of the animals and I would watch the creatures purr. It was a wonder and I was star-struck. After the long and weird greeting, I followed the king to his mother who soon turned wa
I was happy, so happy with everything forgotten. “Come,” He said, scooping me up in his arms and walking out with him. The water fell from us like a waterfall, the sun shining on us as he carried me out. I stared at his face as water droplets rolled down making him look so beautiful. What had I done to be so lucky? I tightened my arms around him with his head dashing down to me as he flashed me a smile that had me blushing and giggling. My head was buried in his chest as I took a whiff of his scent and it was pure bliss. I lay there, my eyes getting heavy all of a sudden. It had been a crazy two weeks and I was tired and bloody hungry. My stomach ached as I bit my lip wondering what we would do because I had to eat, our baby did not want anything I ate. I felt the sun on my skin, felt its sharp rays all over my body. The king suddenly came into a halt and my curiosity got the best of me as I pulled from his chest, looking only to wish I
“Feed and sleep, I will see you in the morning with the robes. You are not to get out of this garden until you give birth. As soon as you step a foot out, the baby will be in great danger. There is so much evil in the universe and that baby just became a target.” The queen said having me pale as I watched her turn around and slowly walk away. My body shuddered with her words playing in my head. Why would my baby be a target? We watched the queen retreat until she walked out never to be seen. I sighed, my head pounding with my baby restless. I dipped my head into Vampir’s chest with my eyes ready to close yet it carried so much new information which was hard to process.“You need to feed before sleeping,” The king’s voice came having me sigh. I was so tired, and talking was becoming a problem.“Use my neck,” The king came again as he lowered down my body to the ground. I could not help the
It was dark and cold.I wrapped my arms around my body, my feet turning as my eyes took in the dark walls that caged me in. There was a plop, water filling the ground with drops dripping somewhere around. I felt a woosh, something moving around me, having me quickly turn. My heart was drumming in my ears nearly having me deaf. I knew where I was. I did not know why I was here yet I knew so well. I closed my eyes and closed them hard, wanting to tell myself that it was a dream but a dream had never felt so real. The air was acidic, breathing it sure killing something in my body as a certain smell lingered in my nose, a smell that had my stomach twirl with the intensity to vomit suddenly high. My eyes took the place in, the darkness was so unnatural, too dark and dense to be good. My skin shivered, wanting to get out of here but, how could I?I wanted to scream, wanted to shout my lungs out yet my fear had my airways clogged, having it hard to even breathe. I could feel the eyes on me,
The king’s form disappeared and I was left staring at thin air. My whole body was sticky from sweating so much in my sleep. All I needed was to soak in warm water filled with my oils and shower gel, music playing in the speakers. My eyes closed with the picture in my mind but as I opened my eyes they fell on the long legs of the queen covered by something that I guessed to be a white robe and behind her was the river that waited for me. My body was protesting, it being nice being here but now that I had no other option it was suddenly not so nice.“Go bath. I have your robes, I have already bore through much torture at staring at your bare body” The queen said, cheeky as always. I wished I could say that I had gotten used to her snaky comments but I had not and did not think I ever would, she seemed determined to make me regret the day I wed her son.“Go on now, I don’t have all day.” The queen came
