I had never felt something so pure. I had never felt something so warm. I had never felt such happiness fill me inside-out. I had thought I knew what happiness was but I was proved wrong once again. I felt whole, never having realized the pain I was in until right then, with a hole filled up as if being piped with nothing but cream. My body felt even weaker, everything right in place. It all felt right, so many things that were disconnected, falling into place. It was as if all my wounds were coming together, patching up as if they never existed. All the tears that had fell, all the pain I had felt suddenly felt insignificant, suddenly felt like a distant memory as this warmth washed over me.I never knew I had been that lonely, had been that disconnected until the man sank his teeth in my neck and everything was amplified. It was a pain that had been dulled down but it echoed as the teeth went deeper and deeper until it vanished just as the link was complete.Forgive me for holding o
I had never been carried by a vampire and I never ever in my life dreamt I ever would. I opened my mouth, wanting to say something because never in my life could I ever just shut up. Air blew from every direction, not only filling my mouth but also seeming to kill my brain cells one by one. My face turned away as much as I hated it, only to drown in a masculine scent that seemed to weaken all my bones and leave me in a mellow state. My face had to be buried in his large and wide chest with his cool temperature cooling down my face. How could someone ever smell that good? It frustrated me to no end as my hands held onto him, my fists grabbing his shirt, feeling the thick muscles right under. What did he eat? He was just muscle, average build but you could see he was firm and strong. His tall height made the distribution of muscle and fat amazing on him. I groaned out loudly, wanting to rip my head apart because it was spewing nonsense. Where was he even taking me? I was not going
Do I stay? Do I leave?I paced, spreading all my blood all over the floor but it was my gift for him to clean up.My hand ran through my hair.They were under attack? Who was attacking them? What if I left then got caught? His father would kill me and I would not be able to survive. The warriors that found me would probably do the worst things I did not even want to imagine, before killing me so gruesomely. I did not even know where the kingdom of my people was. Where would I begin looking for them? I might just be throwing myself into more vampires who would capture me and do whatever they wanted.I did not have the energy to go through torture again. I did not think I could survive another round of hell again. I chewed on my nails because what would staying do for me?What if the prince was lying to me? What if he also wanted to start his own business with me? Torture me even more? What if he wanted to tie me up too and let everyone have a piece of me? That was if he survived his fa
I was hungry as hell.My eyes sat on the bowl sitting opposite him with a spoon inside. There was a plate of bread next to it. My eyes moved from the bowl to him as he ate his own food slowly, not even sparing me a look.Was the bowl mine? Was the food mine?I nearly laughed at that. I never had food. I never had a bowl with food in it waiting for me. Never in my life.Wendy would always throw pieces of spoilt bread on the floor and I would pick them up to eat whenever that happened. I would go through weeks not eating anything, watching them eat and drink blood every night until I craved even the blood with how hungry I was. I used to bite myself and suck the blood that would come out of the wounds, thinking it would fill me up since all the vampires around me were also drinking blood but I had just been hurting myself for nothing. I had always been a bony child. I had always had bones stick out of my skin to the point where my skin would tear from the bones and how thin it was. When
“ I need a Queen.” The prince said after I was able to collect myself. Damn him for robbing me of my celebration moment. His words rang in my head again, already knowing my answer. If he thought I would be his queen, he could forget and smile. He would even be crazier than I thought he was.I shifted in my seat uncomfortably, the situation getting too tense for me.“ My father never made his standing with me a secret. I was never in a good standing with him and he always made it clear that he did not want his crown on my head. Unluckily for him, he could not have anymore children so he was stuck with me.” The prince said as I shifted again, frowning from all I was hearing.I could see that he was really serious about this, deep and collected which frustrated me because it had me want to be that way too when I knew I could not achieve such finesse. I was not meant for him, not meant for his life. All I knew was survival. I was better off with the wild animals than with him. My heart th
My body pulled up from the water. I wiped my face with my hand. My hand grabbed for the wash clothes and soap. I would not take a bath in a long time so I would make it count. I did not want to get to my people looking as if I came from the grave even if I did. My hair was washed which left the water brown with dirt. The shame. I did not even know what I looked like. I probably looked like a crazy person. My hair had knots, deciding to just move on. I scrubbed my skin until it burned, scrubbed until I was sure I was clean all over. No part of me was not cleaned.I stepped out of the water, drying my hair and skin with the towel. A jar sat next to the tub so I picked it up and indeed, it had excess water. I picked up a toothbrush and toothpaste. My teeth were just heavy. I always jumped at the opportunity to clean my teeth. When I was young, I used to use mint leaves then bite the ends of small tree branches until they were soft so I could clean my teeth. I brushed until my gums ached
I stood there like an idiot, not even sure what I was waiting for. My hand reached into my pocket, pulling out the compass with it cold in hand. The cover was flipped over with the hands moving about until they gave me where south was. I turned, looking ahead, the way long for me but I would eat it like Dante’s soup.Dante. My body turned, my life with the vampires coming to an end. My feet jogged for a few minutes before the speed gradually increased, running faster and faster until I could not even breathe. All I knew was to get to the wall. I jumped over roots, bending down and dodging trees left and right.Home was so near I could not help but try to envision it in my head.How were the people?Would they accept me?What would they say knowing I lived all my life with vampires?My heart ached with me swallowing.What if they called me a traitor?I shook my head, running even harder.What if they were just as bad as the vampires?The more I ran, the more this dull ache in my che
I came to the wall blazing, stepping once, twice, only to jump and flip in the air, hitting the other side of it with my back as I rolled on the ground to pick up and run.The pain exploded but it was just wasting it’s time.Voices screamed behind me but I was not there for them, they just liked attention, did they not?The floor was covered in nothing but blood. It flowed all through the ground, as if canals of it had been poured and I realized that even I was smudged with it, having me groan but I would deal with that later.Vampires came speeding at me as I dodged them as much as I could. I was fighting for my life here, they had no chance.I wasn’t even seeing them, just praying.Please, if there was ever a God on my side, could he just please do this for me, no matter how lousy he was when it came to me.Hands gripped me from behind. Security was very tight, I will tell you that. I turned with my fist connecting with a face to pull away and run but I was jumped not even long af
