The next time I woke up, I was on a cold floor in a place I didn't recognize. "Look who finally decided to wake up." A voice I recognized said. I sat up to look at him, but the moment I sat up, it felt like my brain was moving around in my skull. I had a migraine. I closed my eyes and let my head rest on the floor again.
"Looks like you had an eventful night last night. I see that your vampire boyfriend decided to claim you. But looks like it's failing." The man said with humor hidden in his words.
"Who are you." I tried to say, but it only came out in a whisper. He heard me though.
"Oh, see, now my feelings are hurt. You don't recognize me?" I slowly lifted my head this time to get a good look at the guy who kidnapped me. My eyes widen once I saw who it was. It was the man I met at the mall that time when me and Hunter went shopping for clothes for me.
"What do you want?"
"Isn't it obvious?" I looked at him with confusion written on my face. He just rolled his eyes.
"I guess I have to spell everything out for you. Your the Princess of this country who went missing. You have a huge price over your head, just about everyone wants you." As I listened to everything he said, it dawned on me. He said this country. Shit. That must mean I'm back in England. Then my eyes widened.
"You can't bring me back to the palace!"
"And why shouldn't I?"
"You just can't."
"Well that's not a very good reason why I shouldn't. I don't know why you ran away and I don't care. With you being the Princess and you dating the Prince of all vampires, you can make this country into a vampire country all over again."
"What do you mean by again?"
"Oh he didn't tell you? Tsk, Tsk, shame on him. Back before you or your parents and their parents we're born, your little castle was ruled by vampires. The king and queen, the Prince's and Princesses were all vampires."
"Okay so what does that have to do with me and Hunter?" He rolled his eyes at me before continuing on with his story.
"Your grandfather was a vampire. He was mated with your grandmother who was a human. when your grandmother was in transitioning into a vampire, your grandfather was murdered by a mob of humans. What they didn't know though was that when your grandmother was in transitioning she was also pregnant with the future Prince."
"Okay?" I say still not understanding where me or Hunter comes into play. The guy just sighs.
"You have vampire blood in you, Hunter just claimed you and put his venom in you. Right now your body is trying to fight it off, but once the venom awakens the vampire blood that's inside of you, you will be in transitioning, but you won't need his blood to complete it. All you will need is to feed on anyone.
The next step is for you to become queen and Hunter king and you will be able to reunite this country with vampires. Vampires will rule all over again." He said with a grin on his face. Before I could respond, I felt dizzy, I quickly leaned to the side and threw up. I was cold but it was like the inside of my body was on fire. I started sweating again and I collapsed on the floor to rest. I just want this to be over already. Before darkness took me I heard the guy sigh in disapproval.
I woke up what seems like years later, still on the cold floor. I didn't feel dizzy or weak anymore. The inside of my body didn't feel like it was on fire anymore. I felt brand new, like I was alive. I know that sounds weird since I been alive this whole time, but I feel more alive than ever. All my senses were sharp, I could see things normally a human couldn't see, like little's particles floating in the air.
I could hear my surroundings all over, even things and people who were miles away from me.
"Took you long enough." The guy said. I whipped my head towards where he was.
"If you get hungry I brought you a little snack." He said smiling while looking at the ground near where I was sitting. I looked where he was looking and saw a guy bleeding from his neck. He was unconscious, if it wasn't for his chest heaving up and down I would have thought he was dead. As I looked at him, I felt pain growing in my canines.
I moved my finger against one my canine teeth to feel it growing into fangs. I backed away from the wounded guy so fast, I ended up on the opposite side of the room.
"No, I'm not going to feed off of him to do your dirty work, plus I'm not going back to the castle." I said while giving my kidnapper a stern look. He just sighed in amusement.
"See now why do you have to make things more difficult? You have two choices, you either feed from him or I'll make you feed from me and do many more things to me." He said while licking his lips. Gross.
"How about neither." I stated. He growled and was in my face in a heartbeat. He pinned me to the wall and wrapped my legs around his waist. I tried to get away but he was stronger than me. He bent his head and licked the mark on my neck. I winced as the mark started to burn at his touch. He then moved and placed his lips against mine roughly.
I tried pushing him away from me to break the kiss, but he never moved a muscle. He then grabbed me by the neck while he dived his head down, I panicked and flung around crazy. I felt the inside of my body heat up as it moved towards my hands. Something told me to put my hands on his chest so I did, and I felt the heat grow deeper until fire flung from my hand and into his chest. The guy dropped me and backed away from me while looking at his chest, before looking at me in fear.
"What. The. Hell. Are. You?" He choked out in pain as I saw his whole body glow orange as the fire I threw inside of him engulfed him in flames. I took that time to look for an exit and once I found one I ran for it. I ran into the blazing hot sun and almost cringed back from it. The sun made my skin sizzle from the inside, instead of going back, I ran for the woods super fast so the trees could block the sun from me.
I didn't know where I was, but I knew I was back in England. I kept walking in the woods until I heard someone Call my name.
"Princess Scarlet?" A loud voice said, without thinking I turned towards it and saw a guard from the palace. Shit! I yelled inside of my head, without giving another thought, I ran as fast as I could, but I didn't get far because he shot me and before I knew it, I was on the ground while darkness took me once again.
This time when I woke up, I woke up in the palace in my bed. I let out a groan as I remembered what happened.
"That son a bitch shot me." I said to myself out loud.
"Thats not how a Princes speaks." A familiar voice says. I turned towards it to see my mom. If looks could kill, I'll seriously be dead right now. My mom stood in the corner of my room with her arms crossed and she seriously looked pissed.
"Get dressed and meet me for dinner." Was all she said to me before walking out of my room and closing the door behind her. I sighed and slowly got up. I tried to check the wound where I got shot at but it had already healed. I walked over to my closet and put a blue royal dress on and fixed my hair, not that there was much I could do about red curls. Once I was done I made my way towards the kitchen but stopped midway as I heard someone talking.
"We have to make her marry Prince Reggie." I heard my mother say.
"No, she ran away once to avoid marrying him, I'm not going to lose my daughter again." I heard my father say back. I smiled then, because my dad has never stood up for me to my mom before. But my smile was short lived.
"Your going to lose her if she turns into a vampire and marries that Prince vampire. She won't be your daughter anymore." My mom hissed at my dad. Before my dad could respond I walked in as if I never heard their conversation. So my parents knew about vampires and kept me in the dark for twenty-one years. To say I wasn't mad would be an understatement. I was livid, but I sat down with a smile on my face to show them I was still their naive innocent daughter, even though I was anything but that.
"Hey princess." My dad says calling me by my old nickname.
"Hi daddy." I say in my sweet little girls voice. He instantly melted, I knew right then he would be on my side.
"I'm glad your finally back home, now we can move forward with the royal wedding." I stiffened at what my mom said, before I grew angry.
"What are you talking about?" I say through gritted teeth.
"Why of course you will still be marrying Prince Reggie hun. Or did you forget?" My mom says while shooting daggers at me.
"Like I said before I ran away, I'm not marrying him." I stated matter of factly.
"While I'm still queen, and you are my daughter, I say that you will marry him and that's final." I got out of my seat so fast and slammed my hand on the table.
"I said I'm not marrying that asshole!" I yelled at my mom to get my point across.
"Thats not how a Princess acts or talks!" My mother screamed back at me.
"Well maybe I don't want to be a Princess anymore if it means I'll have to be forced to marry some self-observant asshole!"
"Thats enough both of you!" My father yells at the both of us, before he turned towards one of the guards.
"Bring the Prince here please." I looked at my dad in confusion as I thought he meant Prince Reggie, but as the minutes ticked by. The guard finally came back with a prince, but it wasn't Prince Reggie. I ran forward just be held back by my mom. I looked back at her with such distaste.
"Let me go right now!" I yell at her while trying to get out of her hold. My father stood up and blocked my view by being in between me and the Prince.
"Its okay Marleen, you can let her go." Mom hesitated before finally letting me go. I tried to move past my dad but he would just block me every time.
"Is this who you want to be with?" My father asked me. And with no hesitation at all, I nodded my head.
"Yes." I said. My dad closed his eyes for a second.
"Absolutely not!" My mom yelled out.
"He's a vampire, we sacrificed our lives to run vampires out back then, I'm not just going to let you throw that away!" She said again.
"Well you don't have much a choice, we are soul mates, you can't do anything about that." I said to my parents.
"I could think of a few things I could do." My mom said before she tried pulling me away.
