Chapter 2 - ON OUR WAY HOME.

Amelia found herself in a dark and eerie setting where she is confronted by a mysterious man. The urgency in his voice creates a sense of fear in Amelia's heart.

*Run, Amelia, run* she heard a male voice say to her. 'I'm not familiar with this voice' she said to herself. She could hear the urgency and terror in his voice, but she couldn't see his face.

*Amelia please you need to leave, run they will kill you* the voice said to her again fear laced in his words.

*Then let's go together. Come with me.* Amelia found herself saying.

*I wish I can, but I can't. I'll only endanger you, I'll put you at risk and compromise our location.* he responded. *Amelia listen to me, I love you more than life itself and I wish I had more time to prove it to you. But this people are after my head and everything affiliated with me. We don't have time.*

She was reluctant to leave the mysterious man behind.

*Amelia, run! Go now!* the man said urgently.

Amelia finds herself running. When she looks back, she witnesses something truly shocking and horrifying, she watched as the man's heart was being ripped out of his ribcage. She howled painfully.

Amelia jolts awake, her heart racing and her body covered in sweat. It's like she's been abruptly pulled out of that nightmarish reality and brought back to the safety of her own bed.

As she sits up, she's still trying to catch her breath, feeling a mix of pain and fear lingering from the dream. It takes her a moment to fully realize that it was just a dream, but the vividness of it makes it hard to shake off. As she opens her eyes, the room is flooded with natural sunlight, streaming in through the open curtains. She squints and adjusts to the brightness. As Amelia's eyes adjust to the bright sunlight, she couldn't help but think about the dream she just had. These dreams started after she learned about the war between her kingdom and their rivals.

'These dreams feels like a warning. Seems like my dad is right, I need to marry the vampire crown prince' she thought to herself. It seems like her subconscious mind might be trying to send her a message or a warning. Wait a minute! The marriage.

As Amelia realizes that today is the day of her wedding, she got out of her dazed state and noticed the maids moving around the room, making sure everything is in place.

With a mix of excitement and nerves, she jumps out of bed and calls for the maids to assist her. They rush to her side, ready to make her look absolutely stunning for her special day.

The maids carefully select her wedding dress, a breathtaking gown that fits her like a dream. They delicately help her slip into the dress, making sure every button is fastened and every lace is perfectly tied. They pay attention to every little detail, ensuring that Amelia looks absolutely radiant.

With gentle hands, the maids style Amelia's hair, creating an elegant updo adorned with delicate flowers. They add the finishing touches, placing a veil on her head.

Her dress is a masterpiece, fit for a princess. It's an ethereal creation, crafted from delicate lace and flowing silk. The bodice hugs her curves, accentuating her beauty, while the skirt cascades down in layers of tulle, creating a dreamy silhouette. The dress is adorned with intricate beading and sparkling crystals, catching the light with every step Amelia takes.

And her shoes... they are a perfect match for the dress. They are elegant and enchanting, made from satin and embellished with delicate lace and tiny pearls. The heels are just the right height.

As for the wedding setting, the whole place is transformed into a magical wonderland. The venue is adorned with lush floral arrangements, creating a breathtaking backdrop for the ceremony. Soft music fills the air, adding to the enchantment of the moment. The guests are dressed in their finest attire, their eyes filled with anticipation and excitement as they await the union of two worlds.

The wedding is about to kick off, and everyone is eagerly waiting for the bride and groom to arrive. The wedding hall is filled with anticipation and excitement.

As the guests take their seats, the room buzzes with chatter and laughter. Friends and family from near and far have gathered.

The wedding hall is beautifully decorated with flowers and soft candlelight. The seats are arranged in neat rows, each one eagerly awaiting the arrival of the couple.

Amelia's mother enters her room to let her know it's time for her to come out and wait to be called in as the bride. Her mother softly said, "It's time, my dear." Amelia nods, her heart pounding in her chest. She gathers her courage and begins to make her way towards the door, ready to embark on this new chapter of her life.

Just as she is about to step out, her brother enters the room. Seeing him, Amelia instantly enveloped him in a hug and he hugged her back. He was scared for his younger sister but he couldn't change her fate. Apparently, Amelia's brother was not happy with the marriage arrangements, but he understood the need for a powerful ally in the upcoming battle.

The crowned vampire prince agreed to marry Amelia because he couldn't ascend the throne without his crown princess and with Amelia's father needing their alliance and power to claim a kingdom, the both worlds came to an agreement.

There was the weight of responsibility and the complexities surrounding this marriage. It's like a chess game, where strategic moves are made to secure power and protect their kingdom.

Amelia was lost in her thoughts, wondering who her husband would be. She was curious about his appearance and had all these possibilities running through her mind. She wondered if he might be ugly or have any deformities. It's natural to have all these thoughts and questions when you're about to marry someone you've never met before. And she was wondering why he hadn't come to see her before the wedding day. And then she suddenly bumped into someone. She lost her footing and was about to fall when the man caught her just in time. She offered a sincere apology to the man.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't looking and thank you" she said immediately she regained her composure. He just looked at her dress, nodded his head and left without saying a word. 'He is so handsome' she thought to herself. His charming demeanor caught her attention, but she quickly shook off the thought and continued with her motivational speech.

Karl wasn't expecting to bump into Amelia in her wedding gown. She didn't know him or what he looked like but he did. There was a smile on his face as he recalled seeing her all dressed up and in a nervous state. He walked down to take his position on the stage.

The crowd in the hall was absolutely massive! It was truly a historic event, as it's the first time a human is being married off to a vampire. People were curious and eager to witness such a unique union. The atmosphere was filled with a mix of awe, curiosity, and even a little bit of nervousness.

They were left speechless and awed by Karl's physical appearance.

Meanwhile, Amelia was standing in front of those grand, huge doors, waiting for them to open so she can make her grand entrance with her dad.

The song starts playing, creating a beautiful atmosphere as the doors slowly open. Amelia takes her first step down the aisle, hand in hand with her dad, clutching a bouquet in her right hand. As she looks up, she sees the stranger she had bumped into earlier. And she was pleasantly surprised. He was the one she was getting married to. He looked nothing like what she had envisioned. She had pictured him to be really ugly with pointed ears and elongated fangs. But there he was, looking like a god. Her veil helped conceal her expression from the guest around but Karl was able to see the expression on her face. He looked at Amelia and was impressed with her physical appearance. She's like a divine enchantress, radiating an irresistible allure that captivates anyone who lays eyes on her. Her beauty is otherworldly, with features so perfectly sculpted that they could be the work of the gods themselves. Her eyes, they sparkle like precious gems, drawing you in and revealing a depth of wisdom and passion. Her presence commands attention, exuding confidence and grace. Every step she takes is like a dance, as if she's floating on air. She truly embodies the essence of a goddess, a vision of perfection that leaves you in awe.

Getting up to the stage, Amelia took her place. They exchanged vows and rings under the scrutinizing gaze of everyone present.

The wedding ceremony came to an end and Amelia was about to retreat to her room when Karl caught her hand.

"Where are you heading to?" Karl asked Amelia immediately she faced him.

"My room" she responded.

"Why?" Karl asked confused. 'Didn't she know she was coming home with me?' He asked himself.

"Because that's where I'm supposed to be" she replied gently.

"No, that's wrong" Karl replied.

"Huh? Where am I supposed to be then?" She asked looking really confused.

"With me, on our way home." Karl said.
