"Princess Leona, Prince Leonard, princess ????? stop running in the castle"
Yup you heard right the prince and princesses were running through the castle...again. It's just so much fun to see Mia trying to catch us. Hi there I'm ????? the person chasing me is my nanny Accalia and the kids in front of me are my brother and sister. I'm the last child of the werewolf kingdom, fifth daughter but an eleventh kid.
My parents are the queen and king, their names are Katherine and Marcus.
As we were running I came to a sudden stop and I was overcome with hunger
"lia I'm hungry" I shouted
"ok come here, let's get you both something to eat" she replied
We followed her towards the kitchen and she made us pasta but no matter how much I ate I was not full. When I finally finished my 5th plate I noticed my throat was dry and then I smelt something incredibly delicious, I looked up to see that loa had cut her finger. When I saw her blood dripping down something happened, I- I lost all control I ran to her and told her to come down to my level.
When she did I bite into her flesh and once I started I could stop, I wouldn't stop I watched as she grew pale and her body dropped. to the floor lifeless and cold.
my sister let out a heart ranching scream and a swarm of guards came pouring in and I did the same to them as I did to lia. I just couldn't control myself I knew what I was doing, I could see it happening but couldn't stop it, after I finished off the guards I turned to my brother protecting Leona, a look of determination planted firmly on his face yet I could see the fear in his eyes. I backed them in a corner. he turned to her slightly and whispered something to her and only moment later she slipped by me and out the room yet my eyes were glued to Leo he had a delicious scent flowing off of him and so I pounced on him and slowly started draining him but halfway I could hear footsteps and my lips moved off his neck towards the hall.
As soon as I stopped my mother and her guards came rushing through the doors and my mother had a look of horror on her face as if she'd seen a demon. I stood up to see body upon body spread out in front of me.
I stood and slowly approached my mother, my hands shaking I I got close enough to where I could almost touch her until she slapped my hand away and shouted
"STAY AWAY FROM ME YOU MONSTER" hate laced in every word. She then ran past me to Leo then looked at up said
"YOU... WHAT has YOU DONE LOCK THAT THING IN THE EAST TOWER, inform the king of this and don't tell another soul of this, or I'll have your heads.
She then got up with Leo in her arms and ran towards the doctor.
And with those words, I was taken to the eat tower, a place long forgotten by time. During the first werewolf, vamp war, many were captured band among them a beautiful young vampire with long curly black hair and piercing blue eyes. Once upon a time ago, she lived here in the East wing as it was said she managed to capture the heart of my father but when she mysteriously disappeared he changed and that is why no one will step foot over here.
The room I was taken seemed to be well kept tho I was pushed in as the door was slammed shut behind me then a click was heard and sure enough it was locked. I walked towards a vanity only to find my once bright blonde had become a fearful black though my eyes stayed a mix of yellow and red, all I could do was stare at myself I. the mirror.

The door to the room opened and shut yet she hadn't heard a thing as the king entered the room. He walked towards her only a few feet apart. Marcus, the king was a man feared by all even his children except her as he's killed millions and that same man was to decide her fate.
He called out to her and she quickly turned to face him. His mask fell for a second but it was long enough for everyone in the room to notice (queen guards and the young princess) the shock that was on his face
"Daddy?" a sweet voice brought him out of his trance as she was always a daddy's girl. he looked down at what was once his angel drenched in blood, shaking. a sigh escaped his lips at the thought that 1) Katherine must have cheated. 2) he would have to severely punish the child he once called his own and finally 3) her father..her REAL father was a vampire and would come looking for what was his and that would put all his children at risk he would have to hide her away.
He took a deep breath and said y
"vampire spawn you will be stripped of your name and title.. your new name shall be Melinoe you shall be taken to the Eastern tower where you will live for us"
and just like that my new life began as Melinoe. At five years old I killed more than half of the king's guards and I injured my 'brother'.
minutes passed like hours, which slowly turned to days then weeks passed by as Melinoe sat in her little 'home' in a tower, she would often sit there every day watching the one's she used to call her siblings play and enjoy life but she couldn't understand why she couldn't play with them, why she couldn't see her mommy and daddy anymore. they never visited her, she was trapped in this tiny space with guards standing outside the door at all times and they would bring her a bowl of green mud with bugs and a cup of something red. the only times she could remember going out was to sneak into the rooms of some men or woman and 'eat' till she was full like her daddy told her to. if there was one thing she hated about living in the tower tho was the guards that often came at night they would come inside and try to get her to 'play' with them even if she didn't want to. they would always reach under her torn dress and caress her frame making her uncomfortable.
It was only when she started to cry and scream they would stop but after the first few times, even that didn't seem to matter to them anymore during one particular night when a drunk man, seemingly in his thirties entered her room but it didn't seem to matter how much she screamed or pleaded he still had his way with her. She held herself that night huddled in the corner of the room her porcelain skin covered in black and purple marks, her eyes glossed over with tears that were threatening to fall. she could still hear him outside the door laughing, mocking her, and she despised it and her weakness.
The door creaked opened, she could hear the footsteps coming closer but she refused to look up as she pushed her back further into the corner in an attempt to make herself seem smaller. she was grabbed by her wrist being tugged behind a lady with shoulder-length dark brown hair she didn't put up a fight she didn't have the energy as the sun hadn't even risen yet she was being dragged down several flights of stairs that were cold against her bare feet. She stood in front of a large wooden door the maid then kneeled to her asking if she remembered what she was to do and at first she didn't say a thing but eventually gave a slight nod to confirm. the was opened slightly so that she may squeeze in, she crept toward the bed to see a young lady not that much older than one of her sisters ao she was most likely within her early twenties; she climbed in the bed her dead eyes trailing over the young lady she had a certain beauty to her. she had a darker complexion than anyone she'd seen before and to match their hair were the same color, a jet black which in itself was unique as most wolves in her homeland had brown hair but that mattered not she quickly sank her fangs into the neck of the poor girl that only managed to thrash about before falling limp. While climbing down from the bed something fell and hit the grown with a thud and she went quiet listening out for any sounds and unfortunately she heard footsteps coming this way she panicked and pushed herself against the wall before hearing something click and suddenly she fell back inside a dark hallway as soon as she was in it closed behind her and as if que she heard the room doors fly open.
