My name is Ariella. My name means magic. I was born with magical powers. I'm a princess of a castle that is known for magic. My parents were afraid of me being taken and my powers stolen from me as people did to my mother. I always wore green contacts. my parents never told me why. But I did as I was told. I used my magic powers a few times, but I can't control them. I always wore a ring to prevent any accidents. Both my parents were born with magic. Mine is very powerful. It would be bad if it was in the wrong hands.
Today is the day I turn 18. My parents arranged for me to marry a very handsome guy from a wealthy family. I was foolish enough to fall for a guy I just met. His name was Kane. I was excited about the wedding. It was going to be in a month. I was excited to marry the love of my life. He was handsome, He was strong. I never thought anything bad of him. In my eyes he was perfect. My parents always wanted me to be happy no matter what. My whole life I imagined my parents would live forever. I always will hope for that.
My parents gave me a beautiful new necklace that means everything to me. Dust gave me a bracelet with my name on it. It was truly a lovely gift. Dust is my best friend. He always knows how to read my mind. I went for a walk around the garden. I just said goodnight to Dust even though he never leaves the castle.
I was walking around the castle. I went to my sister's room. It was silent. My chest was pounding hard. I felt as if something bad was about to happen. Instantly I hear a scream. I grab my sister and the emergency bag. I walk as quietly as I can. I open the door. It felt like a flash. I couldn't believe what I saw. My father is dead and my mother's blood is getting sucked at the moment. If that wasn't bad. I saw another person in the room. Never in my wildest dreams, I would imagine in the room.
I didn't know the day of my birthday was going to be the worst day of my life but it was. I looked around the room. I spotted my finance, Kane. He was drenched in blood. His face was bloody. It was a horrible occurrence. Kane was the one who had done this. I will never be able to look at him the same. The only thought had in my head was "Take off that ring it will make you feel better, Destroy him like he did your parents" But I didn't. I'll never be able to love him like I used to. But one day ill is after him. I couldn't cry. I couldn't just stand there. I couldn't scream. All I could do was run.
I was running away from my fears. It felt as it was a nightmare that would never end. The first name I could think of was Dust. I was running around. I hoped to find him quickly. Nothing would have prepared me for what I just witnessed. My heart was pounding faster than it ever did in my life. I never felt so much hatred for someone. I always thought of myself as a forgiving person. I will never forgive Kane for what he had done to my parents. I feel as if I'm frozen. I feel dead on the inside. I don't understand anything. I can't believe I trusted Kane. My parents trusted him. Just for him to do this to them. I just want to fall asleep and never wake up but. All I can think of is the fact I need to save my sister.
I don't want to be next. I know I will be next if I don't run. I'm scared. If I'm caught, not only will he steal my powers, He will drain my blood, and take advantage of my sister is too young and weak to move. My sister, Atlanta is the only 1. I hear Kane's voice. It's the most frightening thing to me at the moment. He suddenly shouts."Catch, don't let her get away".
I was scared one of them was going to be able to catch me. I felt lucky. I ran nothing else I could do but that. I need to find Dust. I know Dust will always have my back. Dust has never been like the rest. Dust is a vampire prince but he chooses to guard me. Dust has been my best friend. Dust is like a brother to me. Dust makes me feel happy. Dust makes me feel safe. I just want to hug Dust and cry in his arms. Dust is all I have left.
I spotted Dust. I ran to him. I hopped on his back. I breathe hard. I move Atlanta into a more comfortable spot."We need to leave" I say to Dust. Dust looks as if he understands and is ready for my next command. Dust runs to the forest. Dust is one the fastest vampire I have ever seen. Dust will do almost anything to make sure I'm safe. I've never been afraid of him even though he's a vampire demon. Dust is my comfort spot.
Dust was very understanding of me. He knows me so well. I cried my eyes out. Dust doesn't usually like it when I cry but he made it an exception this time. He was ready for anything."Okay, just explain it to me later" Says Dust. He sounded kinda worried but if I was him I would be too.
"Will I just promise myself something okay?"I asked. I want him to make a promise to me even though I trust him. I just want to make sure he's not going to leave, betray me, or die on me. I need him the most right now. If I was without him it would just be me, Atlanta, and my broken castle.
"Promise me you won't leave, betray me, or die," I said. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if Dust died protecting me. I would do nothing but cry. I would destroy the entire world if Dust died. I wouldn't be able to keep myself under control if he did.
"I promise, princess," Says Dust. Dust has always been too kind. I could never picture a world without him. I don't ever want to share Dust with anyone. The only person I will share him with is my sister, Atlanta.
Dust started to run into the forest. The forest was covered in flowers and plants. My parents always made sure things were running. My parents loved to help others. The animals in the forest were always healthy as the ones in the kingdom. The kingdom had chickens, turkeys, horses, cows, bunnies, and puppies. I always wanted a puppy, but I was never able to convince my parents into letting me keep one.
After a while, I could no longer see the castle. I couldn't see any guards or houses. All I could see were trees, wild animals, plants, and mountains. I only saw the mountains once and it was when I was very young. I never really left the castle much.
Dust kept walking. Soon I couldn't help but rest my eyes. Resting was a peaceful thing to do after what I just witnessed at the castle. Dust Continues to carry me on his back, with my sister still in the baby carrier. My sister has always been a deep sleeper. She always loved to take naps.
I soon couldn't help but fall asleep. I started to dream peacefully. It felt nice until my mind kept remembering what happened. I kept seeing Kane's wicked smile. The sight of the bodies keeps flashing in my mind. I'm frozen in the dream. My eyes start to water. It feels horrible just to see that scene in my head. The fact I loved Kane is even worst. I feel so stupid. My body starts to shake."I'm here, I won't let anyone hurt you, princess" Dust says in a soothing voice. My dream flips a switch and is calming and quiet. I imagine our sleepover and all the fun things I and Dust did. I released an odd feeling I have never felt for anyone but him. I think I might be in love with him but I will never be sure for myself. I shouldn't ruin our friendship. Especially since he's my only friend, and family I have left. He will always be there if I don't mess up our friendship.
Soon I wake up and see that Dust stops. I open my eyes and see a beautiful city. It looks more beautiful than anything. I admire the beautiful lights. I saw a clock tower. I knew it was pretty late. We slowly go through town. The memories of our childhood runs through my mind. I realize how time has gone by so quickly so fast. I'm still in pain with the fact my parents will never see me get married. My dad will never walk me down the aisle. My parents will never even meet their grandchildren. Atlanta won't ever get to grow up with parents. Atlanta will never even remember them. It's sad to think about it. My eyes start to tear up again.
"Is this your hometown?"I ask. I'm very curious. This place is very beautiful it makes me wonder why I haven't been here more. I also wonder why this place looks so familiar. I and Dust were together always ever since we were six. Me and were big trouble makers. Especially because Dust always did what I did. It was always fun with him. It was always laughs and giggles with him.
"Yes, we're going to stay at my castle for tonight."Says Dust. Dust is probably wondering what I'm crying about this time. I never want to grow up. I just to be by Dust's side forever. I want dust to be mine. Dust probably only thinks of me as a little girl. He's a vampire. He's like five hundred. I wonder if his parents have changed any.
Dust stays silent as he carries me around on his back. Dust starts to stop. Dust stops at this beautiful castle that looks familiar but I have no memory of. The castle looked like one of those beautifully decorated churches. Dust starts to say something."This is my castle" Says, Dust. We continue to walk in. Dust finally puts me down to go upstairs.
The inside of his castle looked beautiful. It was neat and organized. It looked as if his family had no servants. I wonder if they keep food in the fridge or just blood. Dust speeds like the flash and comes back with a crib. Dust guides me to a room."You will be sleeping in a room with me. I just don't want you out of my sight" Says Dust worriedly. The room we were in was full of paintings. I even was able to spot a family portrait. Dust looks the same in the portrait.
"That would be good. It makes me feel safer with you anyways" I say. I can be pretty blunt sometimes. Dust started to blush. Dust's black hair started to shine, His beautiful blue eyes sparkled, His pale skin turned bright pink. He is so flustered by those words. Dust will be the one and only guy I will always love.
"I'm happy you feel that way!?"Says Dust. Dust was as red as a tomato. There is only one bed. Dust and I are going to share a bed for the night. The last time I and Dust slept in the same bed, I was scared of the dark. Dust always made me feel safe and protected as a kid. As a child, there was nothing Dust could do to change my mind about how I felt.
"I'm going to get a glass of water," I say to dust. I walk down the long staircase. I have never been to this castle before but it's pretty simple to find a kitchen. I walked carefully down the steps. I finally got to the bottom. I looked in many rooms. I finally find the kitchen after a while of looking. I get a cup from the cupboard. I suddenly hear footsteps behind me. I thought it was just Dust.
I turn around. I see a guy with hair as white as snow, his eyes were violet. The man suddenly started coming closer to me. I felt frightened. I was close to screaming. Suddenly the man gets a grip on me and I scream."DUST?!"I scream as loud as I can.
