As I walk down the street, suppressing my memories in the darkness of my mind, holding them so tightly like a scroll you were giving to the royalty. Expectancies fade quickly as a shattering voice rings upon my ears. However yet, I still continue my journey through the dark and faded pass, watching as the darkness crawls over this deep, demented forest of mystical life and whatever else could possibly be there. Perhaps, as I walked down, eyes were following me, due to the fact of seeing tiny specs glisten through the darkness in different colors and sizes. Never the less, my legs never forget me and stride along through the muddy terrain, squishing the disgusting grossness down beneath my sunken toes, feeling a bit of wet then finally hitting that patch of dirt. Slowly my silk gown becomes a lower trail for the muddy squish, and my upper half continues to stay sleek and clean as it ever could be. Winds bursting up, gathering their strength pushing my wavy black hair onto my lower back, begging that the mud wouldn’t fling high enough to hit my shimmering locks. Rapidly the voice begins to shout, and become more and more of a nuisance, causing ear bursting abilities making it able for them to combust. However to my surprise things begin to clear, as though coming from the end of a tunnel, and the noise begins to grow. Clasping my hands over my ears for a hopeful protection, the light continues to grow and my eyes will not wander from this growing circular patch of light through all the foggy haze, that is dyed with blackness. As the light grows, so does the high pitched squeal as my ears begin to bleed onto the clean part of my silky white dress. As I walk further, more into a run now, the trees around me, seemingly lost of all leaves, begin to look as though they are covered in a powdery white snow, a snow that seems to cover the dark abyss and take over whatever things were following me to my fate, or what it had seemed. As the snow begins to take everything over, until there is no more darkness, I drop to the floor weak kneed and short breathed as I faint along the ground to be suppressed to the ground, snow covering me slowly. I hear a voice protrude into my head screaming words that I, cannot understand. Until everything finally goes black.
My chest jolts up as I gasp for air, warmth surrounding my entire body with pleasure to my senses. A blurred image of someone is standing over me, shaking my chest, as though to attempt to get a reaction out of me. As though wanting some sort of thing to happen, but I do not recognize her even as she does become more of a person. Slowly I come to recognize this startled face and hold her arms softly to stop them from jerking me back and forth.
“You can stop now, I’m fine” I say so softly, as though it’s coming from an angel.
“What? You’re okay now? What the hell happened to you Tayane? First you were just sleeping and then I hear you scream, I come into the room, and there you are jolting up and down on your bed repetitively .” she speaks frightened as a tiny child coming out of a nightmare.
“Tirana, I am fine, I promise” I say with a slight smile to my ripe red lips.
“Okay, if that is what you say. Do you wish me to stay with you for a while, to help you fall asleep? Or would you like me to get you anything, And I mean anything.” still speaking scared, but dire to help me with my every need.
“No, no, need you not worry, I am fine, seriously.” I say getting a little agitated with having to repeat myself.
Finally she walks off, and stops at my door, looks back at me with those bright blue eyes, and she continues down the corridor to her own quarters. Slowly, I lay my head back onto my soft plush pillow, and motion my hair behind my head, my emerald green eyes, gazing into the moonlight. I sigh in a somewhat despair and recollect my thoughts on what had happened in my dream. Attempting to remember what was said in the beginning by that shattering voice. Eventually it comes to me, as it had not in my dreams, it was a male voice, coated by shrieking sounds. As he spoke, sort of as a lullaby but not so comforting. His words were cold, and shaking, showing that he meant what he had said and wanted to make sure I knew what he wanted me to do for him. His words were:
”Oh poor child, lost in the dark, you dire little thing, needing some love, someone to finally care. Well mi cherie, Miseur is here for you. You drop to the floor, I reach down to help, you cry to the night, I come for your tears, you breaks your hopes into parts, I come for the pieces. My dear, you are mine, you are part of me, you will join me. Or. You will.
Die.”
The last bit was frightening the most, no more than the previous activities but frightening nonetheless. I wanted to know why, why he wanted me, and how he found me. Suddenly I felt some sort of burning sensation on my lower back, I turned to a mirror to look what it was, lifting my gown to see these two fine lines and three black dots surrounding them. I thought to myself in deep concentration, they were not there earlier, that I am positive of.
As I felt the newly drawn marks, I begun to feel a suddenly sleepiness fade over me, and as I did, my body begun to give way. Slowly I attempted to prop myself up with anything around me, vision soon turning to a blur. I motioned myself to edge towards my bed, knowing that it would be a soft fall there, and I felt myself plunge into the squishiness of my softly done mattress. My eyes snapped shut as my head hit my pillow, pulling up the last remains of my blankets to keep warm from a cold. I snuggled up close with all the energy I had left in me, and fell into a deep sleep, this one hopefully without the voices and the noises.
As the morning soon came, I opened my eyes slowly to feel the sunlight burning to the feel. My eyes hurt as I felt it stare me back as though a laser being stared at for hours, I cringed my teeth together and turned away, covering my self with the soothing covers that would keep me from my fate. Slowly an image appeared at the foot of my bed, he spoke some words and the light from my window was shaded by my blinds. Finally he approached me, touching my chin slightly, then as he spoke like a cat’s purr ”Sweet sweet Tayane, I have finally come for you, it is officially the moment where you can pursue your real life, the one meant for you. Your destiny.”
Startled by his words, yet relaxed by his touch I spoke “Your sire, my lord, I will do as you please, just please do not stop.”
Caressing me by my back, the silky gown slipping off my shoulders baring the newly thinned flesh, he buried his face into my neck as a sharp sting begun to grow, but pleasure like, nonetheless, so no complaints were given. My mind begun to wander then his words spoke to my mind, You enjoy this yes? he said continually to drink from my poorly held up body. Ah, but of course you cannot respond to what I say, you are too.. incapacitated, I suppose you could say.” My eyes opened up slightly to see that there was no longer any sunlight protruding from my window, as he finally let off me and held me lightly in his arms, as though I was as light as a feather. He spoke as blood ran down my neck to my lower stomach, and down his lips.
“I will take you, to a safe place my love, you will be good here, and my... tenders will take care of you, and your needs.”
As he spoke those last words my eyes went entirely dark, and there was nothingness around me, but a soft gentle feeling, as though I was floating through the air. I knew that this couldn’t be true but it had to be, for I could feel it. I slowly tried to gather my thoughts but I heard him say don’t try to free your mind, that will only make it hurt worse with his warning I heeded my attempt to think correctly and just let his masculine arms hold me, me depending on him to not harm me in any foul way, though technically he already had.
As we approached our destination, or more so his, the darkness begun to fade, and a figure begun to emerge. As I tried to figure what this was I was seeing, I blacked out, and fainted knowing that he was still there holding me.
When I woke up, it was in an entirely new bed, a rather large bed. I cuddled myself within these satin sheets of this huge bed, and felt as though I was naked, when all the sudden I felt a man beside me in this bed, holding me as though I were his. As I thought what to do I opened my eyes to see whom it had been, it was the same man from the night before, he had pale white skin, and light dark brown skin. As nervous thought ruptured into my brain, I heard him say.
“No need to worry my dear, I mean no harm, honestly.” He opened his eyes to stare into mine, his deep blue eyes protruding into my soul to know my every feeling hope and dream.
“I..I.. I thought you were.”
“going to kill you?” he exclaimed with expectancy in his voice.
I blushed to the fact he knew what I was thinking, as he put his hand up to hold my chin up to look at him, and he pressed his lips against mine, then pulled away as quickly as he did it.
“W-w-what was that for?” I spoke in a child like voice.
“No reason, I just wanted to” he said winking to me slightly.
Your eyes open wide with despair, and anxiety, you know it's true, you know they were all right about it all along. Pacing through your studio apartment, examining the letter sent to you continuously. Reading it aloud to yourself you finally stop pacing and take a seat on you suede black couch. With anger you throw the pages onto your glass coffee table, knowing that the papers made more sense than anything, also knowing that life was about to drastically change. Hopelessly you position yourself preparing to get up when you feel a sharp pain in your chest and fall back, just to hear a voice speaking to you in a foreign tone. Clenching your chest, wishing the sharp pains would surpass, you finally begin to listen to this mans words. Struggling to keep concentration you finally grasp his words.
"Darling one, you have reached the time,
the time where you will be taken to your fate,
or destiny.
The choice, is yours, but be forewarned, whichever you choose,
Has a drastic consequence.
Death."
As the voice ceases to continue, you feel the sharp pains stopping as well. With hope you get up, and clench onto the papers previously thrown to the table. As you read the words again slowly a slight trickle of a tear slides down your cheek. Running your hands through your hair you continue to read, one word that catches you forces you to gasp and you clasp your hands over your mouth. Getting up with the mite of the world, you forcefully get up. Grabbing a coat and your car keys, you begin to quickly sep downs the stairs to the parking complex. You are perplexed to see the man from your dreams standing near your car, eyeing you slightly. Faster you stride towards your car, and get in fastening your seatbelt, and starting the engine. A few times your car turnovers but does not start, but finally begins to purr like a loveable kitten. Backing up you see someone behind you causing a panic stop, but this person disappears. Having the papers at hand, you read an address, and begin to go there. When approaching you see an enormous warehouse. Walking in cautiously. You see a glow of a light from a room at the end of the building. As you approach you hear a childhood song playing. As you walk in you see a bed with a body laying in it, seemingly sleeping. You go closer nearing it, and turn the person over, to see yourself lying bloody in bed.
Trying to scream, nothing comes out. Finally you wake up screaming the loudest possible barricaded in a straight jacket, and a fiber glass room. A nurse comes in and attempts to calm you down, and a doctor comes in. The man from your dreams, he is the doctor that is currently about to care for you. He smiles and sticks a needle in you, laughing. Fading out it all goes black.
As she turned up the volume to her nano ipod, she held the earphones closer to her ears so she could zone into the world of music and visualizations. It had just been a few hours after she saw him, and her heart skipped a beat with every breath she took. So many times had she hoped he would do what he had done that day, but she never thought that it would ever happen, even in her wildest dreams. The tender touch of his lips had sent a thrill chill throw her spine and back up again, racing through her entire body. She had pondered deeply in what she should do, and what he exactly meant by that mere kiss, and if it had meant nothing to him or if it indeed something. As she drew the music louder and louder, she couldn't forget the feelings she had towards him. She sat there and drew out it all while writing little side notes hoping that she might get some clarity. While doing this she took a deep drag on her cigarette, and blew it out in a deep sigh like way. She couldn't help but hope that he wanted her just as badly as she wanted him. The likeliness however of him wanting her was very slim. The age difference was impeccable and not easily unnoticed. However, her love for him would not diminish. Anything bad that she was told of him didn't bother her in any way shape or form. Everything was like a cloud floating through the sky to her, no way that it could ever go wrong. Hearing his voice would send her flying through the sky in a happiness that no one could ever possibly perceive. There were always things that bothered her but she never thought of them, unless she was into deep thought, or concentration. Eventually, she stopped, put her notebook down and just caressed the base of her legs in a fetal position sort of way. Thoughts kept protruding into her head like bullets, but she had been so used to getting protruding thoughts that it was normal, like having a burglar in your house and offering him a cup of tea.
For a few hours, she sat in her room, just thinking about what would happen and all the possible outcomes. Overly analytical brain she told herself mumbling. Sometimes she just wished that she would stop thinking so everything would leave her alone and she wouldn't have to worry about anything. But unfortunately for her, that was impossible. Her entire family had been cursed with minds that never took a rest, or a break so that the person would have a time to relax. No, never did she ever relax.
She was a very beautiful girl, not that she thought so. She had blonde/brown hair, unfortunately a dyed way, but still. Blue eyes that would sometimes go gray or green. Not exactly thin but certainly not fat. 5 foot 5 inches, boy she was not that tall compared to him, but that was ok.
As the night went by, she lay in her bed still thinking of things, and finally she closed her eyes and fell asleep. In the morning, being awoken by her mother, she was a little happier than normal. At school she even seemed more giddy and enjoy than expected. Not knowing that her confusion was just about to spark up its ugly face and rear right at her.
"Hey, Caroline, what's up. Why do you look so happy today?"
"No reason, none at all." She said as she felt herself smile inside.
"Oh ok.."
When she walked into the door of her 2 story condo, she dropped her bags in the usual place and went to the computer, like everyday. She endured talking to a few friends, but had a deep urge to tell about the kiss he had given her, so she told someone, a complete stranger more likely. Knowing now that someone knew, gave her some ease to knowing what happened, but she wanted to know the truth. Like why he had done that, and what it got out of it. How could she have known whether or not he was just playing with her heart? For all she knew, he just wanted her physically. There was no way for her to tell, and it drove her absolutely mad. She would spend hours and hours thinking about things, and finally she got to the conclusion that he was just fucking with her heart. It made her angry for a few minutes, but then it immediately made her sad. Depression overwhelmed her as she held with this conclusion. She cried and hasted with pain and agony that it was just a fling. It hurt her so much to know that this is what happened. Eventually she got numbed from her feelings, put on some music, turned off the light and went to sleep. In her dreams she felt agony, pain and uncomforted more than she could ever imagine, and woke up at 3 am, just to feel the tightening of her chest as she gasped for breath from a frightful imagination. At that moment, the only she wanted to do was run, run away from everything. So she got up, got dressed, and left.
Unfortunately for her, he wasn't the only thing that was bothering her, there was way more to it than just him. All her old friends from where she used to lived hated her, and she had no other friends, so life was hell. Being home was also no place she ever wanted to be, it made her even more depressed than she already was, and made her want to start in self mutilation, never knowing that the scars caused by this were deeper than you could imagine. She hated home, and her mother. She never wanted to be there. Everything that she knew was gone, and home just made her remember that even more. Especially since to her, it wasn't even a home, it was just a temporary stay area, because every time, as soon as she could, she would leave. But right now, she finally got that opportunity. Everything building up to this point made her decision for her, she had no idea what she was getting herself into, she just wanted out.
As she walked a little bit down the area she lived, she realized that her mother had another car, so she went back inside and grabbed the car keys, went into the car and left. She grabbed a few hundred out of her mom wallet, and took off. She didn't know where she was going, but wherever it was, it wasn't there. The only place she could think to go was his house. She knew that her sister would be there, so she called her sister.

"..Hello?"
"Jai, I need your help, Im coming over. Where are you?"
"Why, whats going on, Caroline, tell me, whats going on?"
"I can't talk now, just tell me where you are.." she stuttered as tears formed in her eyes.
"I'm at Jakes. Caroline I need you to tell me where you are.."
"I'm not home, Im leaving. Ill be there in an hour."
"What?!...Yo..."
Click.
She hung up.
It was very late at night, around 3 am, so she knew cops wouldn't be such a big deal, nor would traffic. She sped along, with the windows down, playing some Pink Floyd that she luckily brought with her. She knew she could stay at Jakes with her sister, but not for a very long time. As she drove she counted to amount of money she had. 2,000 dollars. thank god. She was more than glad her mother had just gone to the bank that day, the money she had would have to get her through the time being and hopefully would keep her there for a few months, until she was old enough to get a job, which still might be a problem. Thinking about what she would have to do not to get caught. She knew that she would have to take on for real the name Caroline, being the fact that isn't her birth name, just a name she accumulated because she liked it. She would have to file a lost birth certificate, and write out a new one, saying she was born before the time she was, so she would be known as, 19. However, her real age was 14. Replacing the license plate would be easier as she got her birth certificate.
All these things were giving her a headache, so she just put the music on louder and felt the cool breeze going through her hair. She really didn't know what she was going to do, but for the time being staying at Jakes, was good enough. As she pulled closer to the off ramp for Jakes, she decided to buy some cigarettes, being the fact she had never been carded, lucky for her. She went in the 7 11 and asked for some Marlboro Menthols, and asked for a lighter, blue. The cashier looked at her oddly.
"Out late eh?"
"Yeah, just had some errands to do."
"Hmm, that's good. 9.27"
She gave her a 10, got her change and items, and walked out of the store. Lighting a cigarette and taking a deep drag of it was absolutely enticing. She also thought of the fact, her cell phone number would have to be changed. I'll deal with that tomorrow, she told herself. She had so much needed to be done in order to carry this entire thing out. Finally, she got to Jakes house, and pulled into a driveway. She just sat there, and thought for a few minutes, still smoking the same cigarette. She thought she might as well call her sister and say she is here, so she could get into the building area.

"..hello?? Caroline?"
"Jai, I'm here, I need you to come so I can get in."
"Ok, tell me what happened later, ok?"
"Yeah...."
Click. She hung up and waited for her sister to appear. The sight of her sister was the most pleasant sight she had seen all night, and the past days. By now, it was already 4:32 in the morning. Her sister came up and approached the car. She walked up and embraced her sister in a deep hug, and tears just flowed freely from her eyes, as her sister held her, like a mere child, just to get her to calm down for a little bit. Finally she calmed down, and her sister took her inside, luckily Jake was already asleep, so it was no worries. She knew though that when he'd wake up she'd be awkward. As she walked inside, slowly opening the door, she and her sister ended up sleeping on his bed that night, being the fact he was asleep on the floor. She laid down with her sister, and her sister just sort of pet her to sleep. Finally, she got a good nights slumber, with no distorted images, or anything that would freak her out.
As she awoke, she found herself to be changed, and underneath a blanket. She looked at her clothes and realized she was in his clothing. She looked up and smelled food. Laid down for a bit, she just thought. Last night was a dream, I had thought, I could have sworn it was a just a dream, but obviously it wasn't.. she told herself. She got up and went out into the living room with a welcoming feeling.
"Good morning lazy, or more so good afternoon" Jakes voice came through the kitchen
"Huh..what time is it?"
"Well, it's 4 pm. So what exactly happened last night? Jai said that you were crying and sobbing, and called her really late last night. What happened, what pushed you so far to leave?"
"I don't know. I thought it was a dream, I could have sworn it didn't happen. But, I just did not like where I was, and I'm not going back."
"Oh no worries, we aren't going to make you go back, though you should. We won't force you."
"...by the way, where's Jai?"
"She ran out for a day or so, said she'll be back tomorrow, looks like it's just you and me. Would you like something to eat?"
She nodded her head, and accepted the food very willingly. She sat down and he sat with her, and asked more questions, and said to tell him what happened. So she did, she told him every detail, even where she thought about him. He hugged her, and told her not to worry about it, just to stop worrying and just relax..
"Yeah easy for you to say"
"Well. would you...like something too not think?"
"Are you kidding? I would kill not to think.."
He took in what she had to say and offered her some sort of leaves and a bong.
"What is this?"
"Just take it.."
She openly took it and within a few minutes, she was fully relaxed. To her nothing felt wrong until she started getting images of distortion. Pain was gone, every little emotion she had once had was gone. All of the pain, all of it. Everything was gone and she just sort of drifted off and passed out. She awoke, again on his bed, but he was laying next to her this time. She looked at his face, peacefully sleeping, and ran her hand across it. He noticed, and slightly awoke to grab her hand. It startled her, and he asked her what time it was. She turned over to look at the clock.
"It's 11:27 am. What happened yesterday?"
"Nothing really, we drank, and you did some stuff that I had. Nothing much, except you talk a lot. Haha. And you kept kissing me while you were drunk, not that I entirely minded."
"Did Jai call?"
"Yeah, she said she'll be home by 1 pm today. So no worries, lets go back to sleep, mmk?"
She turned over, and went up close to him as he put his arm around her in a reassuring way, she loved hearing the sound of his heartbeat, and the steady breaths going in and out. It calmed her so much to hear it. He just held her close to him, making sure she was ok, he would check on her every so often. She just sat there and thought a little bit, wondering what exactly she was going to do from here. He felt her clench a little bit and decided to help her to keep calm.
"It's ok Caroline, It's all going to be ok." He told her in a reassuring voice as he turned over and hugged her, then kissed her forehead.
Eventually they both fell asleep in a drifting slumber. Her thoughts weren't as messed up as usual, and it was relaxing to have for once. Until she started remembering things. She imagined the time when her mother first hit her, at the age of 4 for saying no. Also she remembered when her dad had lost his job.. All these thoughts made her want to never return to her old life. There was absolutely no way she would want, or need to return to how things were. She woke up again, but this time was different. She was still in his arms, but Jai was finally home. Jai looked at her, and smiled, then kissed her forehead in reassurance.
"You are finally home, where were you?"
"I had to go out somewhere, I'm back now though, hopefully for a while."
"Mm, what time is it? How's Jordan?"
"It's 2:30 pm, Jordan's fine, had to go to the doctors."
Jordan was Jai's two year old son, and it was her nephew. She knew why he went to the doctor, just a routine checkup, like usual. Jordan was an adorable little boy, unfortunately, he had no father, due to he might be a rape baby, yet he might not be. No one really ever knew.
Her sister decided to lay down on the other side of Jake, while they both caressed him. Sleeping was nice to have, but she stayed up and just thought. She knew she had to get up. So she got up and left, again. She drove to the DMV and said she needed a new ID, they said they needed her birth certificate, shit, I forgot. She went into her back pocket and pulled something out. In it was a certificate of birth, and Jai wrote a note saying:
I thought you might want this
I heard you needed to get this done.
Enjoy it!
BTW, It says you are 20. So yeah.. born in 1986. Ok?
Love ya
Jai
She handed the man the certificate, and he allowed her.
"Fill out this form and bring it back in 10." He told her.
She filled it out and wrote in everything, her hair color was under red. Being that's what she was going to dye it to. She knew she couldn't be caught, so she wrote everything very different, in a new handwriting.
"Ok, now just put your signature here, and smile"
She wrote out her new signature and smiled for her DMV picture. He printed out her ID, and handed it to her. She didn’t even look like herself. Which was a very good thing being she wanted to hide. She drove to her cell phone store and also go the number changed. She knew she needed to get everything changed. She looked into her car and found some license plates that Jai had gotten for her. Thank god Jai was helping her out.
She looked at her birth certificate and supposal information. It had said she was 20 years, old with a record deal with Tower Records! Reading this was wear she freaked. We are artists now? Finally she could let out all those bottled emotions from the past and how she had felt for all her life, she could just let go. But this time, she could let go in front of millions. Thinking about this made her remember the last time she had let it all go. It was 2 years ago, and her mother had forced her to go to a thing that lasted 2 days.
It would be good for you, her mother had told her. She walked in and went the first day and didn't exactly enjoy it but she did get some friends out of it, and being the fact she had just moved, it was very pleasant. They didn't go to the same school as her, but they did live a little bit around where she did. The second day though, they had to do some exercises and she refused to talk about her parents, they called her selfish. She didn't understand it, she felt that it wasn't any of there concern in how her parents had treated her, especially since she was ashamed of it. Very ashamed to tell the truth. Nothing her parents did was really something she was proud of. She didn't like it, yeah the other girl was very comfortable with what she had to say, but just because she ways didn't mean Caroline had to be. She wasn't there yet, she hadn't been pushed far enough, it wasn't an easy thing for her and she hated crying in public. She had so many issues due to her parents. Especially her mother, of all people. At the end, they had a ceremony where they said all your people leave you, and She cried. Luckily it was with a lot of other people. But at least she didn’t have to talk. She hated talking. Maybe if she just went mute, she wouldn't have to worry about it. She pondered that thought a lot. However, it didn't bother her that it didn't work for her. After it was all said and done and "graduating" happened, she up and left. Didn't talk to many people, just left. But as the night went by it started to effect her. And she felt miserable, and said, didn't know what to do. All she could do was cry. That's all she knew. She ran into her room, turned her music up and just balled into tears. Let it all get to her. And of course...cut.
Ch. 2
You wake up in a bed you have never seen before in a room you don’t know. You move around feeling the satin sheets caress you body and wonder if you are even clothed. Feeling around you notice you have a silky nightdress on. Burying your head deep within the foreign pillow. Where am I? You say to yourself. You sit up and notice you are in a gorgeous enormous room. Wow this is beautiful, I wonder where I am though…Moving around you hear someone open the door.
“Finally you are awake love…” You hear someone explain to you.
“Wh-whe-where am I?” cautiously you say.
As the person talking to you walks up closer you examine them. It is a girl who looks about in her twenties in a maid’s uniform with red-black hair that would be towering down her back but is tightly held up in an unmovable bun. She is pale with green emerald eyes. You are intrigued by her and think to yourself My god she is beautiful.
“Don’t worry dear, you are safe..” she softly explains to you
“Yes, I’m sure of that. I think. But you did not answer my question. Where am I?” You say flatly, wanting answers now.
“Sweetheart, don’t worry your little head about anything. Domillinn will explain everything to you when he returns.”
The woman rolls the name Domillinn off her tongue in a strange accent but one you seem to recognize. Wondering how you recognize it you feel your head throbbing in pain.
“Agh…” you screech.
“Oh dear, you must have the most dreadful headache...” She says worrily.
“How did you know?”
“I can just tell…” she says bluntly.
You lay your head into the pillow once again, and try to think of something else besides the throbbing pain in your head. Thoughts start traveling through your head faster and faster until someone else enters the room. You notice the maid leaves as whomever enters. You prop your head up to find out who it is. Its that man again. Explain to yourself, wondering what’s going to happen.
“Ah, so you have awaken…” he says nonchalantly.
“Who are you?” nervously you ask.
“I am Domillinn, you can call me Domill. I am glad to see you awake..” he softly explains.
“Yes, why am I here? How did I get here? When can I go home?” though you said you wanted to go home, the truth was… you didn’t
Home was not exactly the best place for you right now. Things were not going well and you were about to lose your apartment. Kristy was moving to England and you weren’t going to work.
“Why are you here? Because I brought you. How did you get here? By me bringing you here. When can you go home? This is your new home…”
You listen to his words not even thinking second thoughts about it until you realize “this is your new home….” Panicked you start thinking he’s going to kill me! I’m going to be held captive!
“No you won’t be held captive…” he says to you.
“How did you know what I was thinking?”
“I can…read your mind…”
He can what…? You say to yourself. Your nerves start to tense up as you truly think about what he just said. Reading minds was no human trait. People cannot read other peoples minds So who was this guy? I mean what would be the more valuable question to ask him now wouldn’t it? You question yourself. As you notice him relaxing and notice that he isn’t angry or aggressive in any way you ask him:
“Who exactly are you?”
“I think you were better with the question in your head of what exactly am I, being the fact that as you say humans cannot read minds. I am most defiantly not human.” He says to you coolly.
Who was this guy and what does he get reading your mind? You realize that by that you probably shouldn’t have conversations with yourself in you head for fear he might notice.
“Ok fine. What are you?” you ask impatiently hoping that he would’ve already answered..
“I am a vampire, a blood lusting, heart chilling, spine tingling vampire.”
“Yeah riiiighht and I am the queen of England…”
He walks up towards you and grabs your neck, barely letting you breathe.
“I am that of which I speak and no mortal shall be ridden me of the truth. I know what I am even if you do not believe it is time to start believing…” he grasps your throat tighter then lets you fall to the hard ground.
As you fall, your breathing steadily gets louder and in more of a pattern. Before your breathing is perfect, he comes up and kicks you solely in the gut. You feel as though your insides break and cough out a large amount of blood. You try not to cry, you try not to be angry but tears stream down your face and as they do he begins to walk away…
“You are a pathetic mortal, but…you are my wife” he walks away leaving you to perish, though you will not.
He seemed so nice, how could someone who appears so nice be so…cruel? As soon as he is gone you see the same maid you saw when you woke up. She rushes to your side to aid your pains.
“Oh my dear, apologies sincerely. My lord does have a terrible temper sometimes.” She explains to you.
“W...wh…why” you scramble to escape out of your mouth.
“He just doesn’t like things..I’m sorry.” You gather up a little more movement to sit-up right. You don’t even know this woman’s name and she is tending to you like she’s known you, like she really cares.
“Who are you?” You ask her bluntly.
“Oh..I must’ve forgotten. My name is Sirania, but you can call me Sira. This is your room, you can tell where it is because it is the only part of the house with a red door.”
“Ok...” You mumble those words out of your mouth and feel a steady lightness to your head.
“Sweetheart, don’t attempt to talk you are going to…” You hearing fades out and you pass out without any remembrance of anything..
Ch. 1
You walk in the door with a distressed look in your eyes, for the fact that you have been given your undeniable destiny. The fortune teller you seek had been very far from where you were and alas you found her to only be told these vulgar and discriminating things. Her words filled you with images of the most horrid possible as you fall down and squint your eyes. “Come Child,” she suspiciously says to you, though you get up with nothing on your mind but finding out what’s going on. You finally remember exactly what she told you, you are to become a vampire’s wife, whether you like it or not. “You were bound by birth,” she tells you solemnly. Your friend, Kristy, in there with you sees your look on your face. ”Come on Sam, lets go,” Kris says to you as she grabs your arm to leave. You both walk out the door hearing the fortune teller screaming practically “THER’S NO USE AVOIDING IT CHILD, YOU ARE THE ONE WHO HAS TO GO ON!” Kristy and you laugh as you walk out the door.
“What a nut she must be,” you tell Kristy.
“Yeah she must be insane.” Kristy replies with an edge in her voice.
The two of you walk into the apartment, even though you are 17, you own your own apartment, aside from sharing it with Kristy. Walking into the front room “I think I might go to bed, I’m a little worn out after that freak-show…well show!!” you explain to Kristy. “That might be a good idea Samantha Sinvaldi!” she says to you giggling. She was one of few who knew your last name, you had planned to keep it that way too. “HEY! I thought I told you not to call me that KRISTINE BOOKER!” you playfully reply back to her quotation. “At least my name doesn’t sound creepy…” she says going extremely serious. You grab a pillow close to you and throw it at her “Whatever, I’m going to bed…”
As you lie in bed, you ponder your thoughts. What could possibly be going on? You ask yourself. Why would anyone want me as their wife, ESPECIALLY a vampire! I mean, I’m just a mere human, Black hair, Blue eyes, pale skin…I’m nothing to a vampire except maybe dinner… You tell yourself reassuring thoughts, but still they don’t seem so reassuring when you truly think about it. For some reason, when you heard that woman say that it was your destiny, you felt as though you already knew. Why don’t they take Kristy? She’d be better. That is truth to what you thought, she was beautiful. Perfect in your eyes. She had golden blonde hair, with perfect hazel eyes, and the perfect skin tone. She’s like Barbie. Just real. You tell yourself starting to get aggravated.. As you keep telling yourself and debating on what exactly is going on you drift into a deep sleep.
She walks along the path, up a narrow mountain to a hill with a rather large castle upon it. Hearing a voice saying COME TO ME, she continues up. Wolves and spirits are chasing along side of her. She seems to not have any consciousness at all because she is blindly walking. No words coming from her mouth. She finally reaches the castle and walks in the enormous door, as she does the voice that said come to me welcomes her. Welcome he says to her as she enters. I have been expecting you… It took you long enough to be here and now, here you are. I have waited so many years for you Samantha. Now you are finally here.. You are here to be mine. Mine forever. Forever as my bride.
Come to me…
You wake up gasping for air, as you do so Kristy comes into your room continuously asking what’s wrong, for some reason though, you cannot reply to her. You just sit there and think of the last words you heard before you woke up… Just the thought of those words made you tremble, not paying attention to Kristy you finally grasp something she says “…Calling 911…” You stop her and interrupt, “No.” you said in a bleak voice.
“No??” She asks you confused.
“I’m fine, I just had a bad dream…” “Well that must have been one hell of a bad dream because you started screaming, then I heard Come to me…No clue what that meant..”
You wanted to tell her, you really did. But you couldn’t, if you told her things just wouldn’t be the same, she would think of you as a strange person. First though you needed to find out why whoever was telling you to come... ”Let’s just go back to sleep ok?” “Are you sure you’ll be ok?” she asks you warily.
“Yeah I’m sure” you say calmly... Once she leaves you, you drift into a deep sleep not being bothered by silly dreams.
The next day you awake and feel as if you are a new born, you eat your breakfast then decide to go outside. Kristy and you go down to the mall and shop yourselves out, or at least her out. The two of you all day have felt like you were being watched but neither of you thought anything of it. Loading the car up you turn around to a startling noise.
“Kristy did you hear that?” “Hear what??” she asks confused..
“Oh…nothing…” you reply..
As you two walk into the door, bags and bags of clothes and new things, you both crash. For some reason though, you cannot fall asleep. You look at your clock. 2 am, great.. You tell yourself. Getting up out of bed, you change into comfy clothes*able to go outside in being the fact you were already comfy* Going into Kristy’s room, you check to see if she’s awake. Good! You say to yourself.. She’s asleep, easier to be able to go outside.. You walk out the door and decide to walk to the park. As you walk to the park, your dream replays in your head.
As you are approaching the park, you sit on a swing and start to sway back and forth. As you do so a warmth comes over you and you see a man coming up to you. Who is this? You tell yourself. He has red hair, with necklaces streamed down his neck. He is wearing leather pants with a long sleeve shirt that is gray and black. He is handsome. You think to yourself. He walks up to you finally, and stares you deep in the eyes…
“There you are…” he coolly says to you.
“Wha…?” you try to gasp out of your mouth but your words have been lost.
“My bride, I have searched eons for you, and finally I have you…”
Before you can reply to anything your vision goes blurry and your eyes go black. You try to restrain but get nothing from it as you pass out…
