Doris ran as fast as she could without stopping. She didn't dare look back, she just kept on running. After a while, she got to her house. She barged inside and to her surprise her mom was already home, and she was doing her house chores. Doris fell on the floor.
Leticia turned to where she heard some noise and to her surprise was her daughter, who was panting hard, and her dress looked ruin even her make up.
"Doris?" Leticia walked up to her daughter and lifted her up. She made her sat on the sofa.
"M…mom, I don't want to go to castle again. I'm scared. I will get bitten" Doris barely said as her mother looked at her confused. The way her daughter looked and the way she was breathing made her heart inch. She forced her daughter to go and yet instead of returning happy, she came back home looking.....
"What happened?" Leticia asked her daughter as she stood up to get a glass of water for her.
"Mom…." Doris eyes looked weak, and it looked like she could no longer carry her eyeballs anymore.
"I've been running" She said
Leticia gave her a glass of water, and she quickly gulped it.
"The prince chose me, mum…" Doris said after drinking the water.
"What?" Her mother amber wide set of eyes widened more. She couldn't believe her ears, but why was her daughter like this.
"This is good news, but why aren't you happy with it?" Leticia asked her daughter with anxiety. She didn't know if she should jubilate or remain calm.
"The prince is a Vampire. I saw him sucking blood from a girl. Not just a girl, 3 girls, MOM!" Doris said, as she remembered the scene, and she couldn't help but swallow her spit hard again.
"So?" Leticia behaved nonchalant.
Doris eyes widened with her mother's expression. She was expecting her mom to be in her shoes. This is her first time to see someone die before her, and even because of a Vampire. A Vampire with scary fangs and Red eyes!!
"So? Mom!! Dad wasn't like him. Dad never drained people's blood. He never killed anybody to satisfy himself!" Doris yelled in anger.
"Listen, My Dear, I think I need to educate you a bit. You are behaving immature. The prince chose you, and you have to marry him!" Leticia's expression changed. Doris eyes grew wide. She didn't expect her mom to be like this.
"I'm not getting married." Doris said with anger. She had never behaved like this before.
"Listen, little girl, there's nothing that you should be afraid of. You live among Vampire and you are ready used to them, but you haven't seen the real behavior of a Vampire." Leticia said.
"Go and take your bath. I will come and serve you your dinner" Leticia went to the kitchen and Doris lazily stood up with thoughts feeling her mind. She went to her bathroom and took her bath. She changed into her night wear.
Not quite long, her Mom came in with a tray of food on it.
She placed the food on her bed and she smiled warmly to her.
"Doris, don't be afraid at all. I'm also a Vampire, and she might think that we don't feed on blood, but we actually do. There's no Vampire that isn't a blood sucker."
" You see, Vampire are mysterious creatures. Vampires has different kinds as they have superior powers to each other. We Vampire can't move under the sun but due to some magic cloak under our garment, we can move under the sun. Without the cloak, we wouldn't dare move where there is sunlight or else we would die. Vampires also crave for blood when hungry. We might eat normal food, but we can't stay without blood. Either animals blood or humans blood. Vampires who hasn't sucked blood for long would go wild just to satisfy themselves. Your father was also a blood sucker, so as me. Your father drank my blood once, when he couldn't control his hunger. I too, has drank someone blood. It's a normal thing for us. (Sign) The traits that vampire has is drinking of blood, immortality, but not all Vampires can live for eternity. It's rare. Vampires also posses some powers like Telepathy, Atmokinesis, Telekinesis, Pyrokinesis, Hypnosis and Transformation to some types of Animals like Rats, Fleas, Dog, butterflies etc. So, we Vampires are kind of an evil creature but our kind which is Laurent is a bit better. You don't need to be afraid. I don't know if you are a Vampire because I can't see any trait in you, but I know you will surely come of it when you get older. Since your father and mother are Vampire, I'm certain that you are a Vampire." Leticia studied her daughter's aura. Leticia hugged her and patted her back. She knew that it wasn't easy for her. All through her life, she made sure her daughter would live a normal life without being scared, but now she was going to get married to a Vampire. She didn't have a choice but to educate her daughter about Vampires.
"Mom, but why did Dad die so early? He could have lived for more than 300 years" Doris asked, and her mother couldn't help but frown.
"Your father was cursed by his mother for violating the rule of a Vampire" Leticia sad and yet upset.
" What offense did he commit?" Doris asked. She wanted to know why her dad died early like a normal human. He didn't look old. He was still as hefty as a wrestler.
"He went into the witches' kingdom. I don't want about to it for now." Leticia forced a smile
"Mom, I'm sorry about earlier. I didn't mean to get angry at you" Doris apologized
"It's okay. It's Normal" Leticia hesitated the rest of her speech.
