Charles brought me back to the dining room and placed me in my seat.
“She was in the town... I found her just in time,” Charles said.
“W... what are you guys? You’re not normal are you?” I asked.
“No, we are vampires, Polly, and we do drink human blood. But we won’t hurt you,” said Abigail.
My eyes shot open really fast. I stared at them with a scared expression. I started to breathe very heavily. I took a sip of water and started to choke on it. I took another sip of water and the choking stopped. Everyone was staring at me as if I was the monster here.
“How was the drink?” Raymond asked me.
“Pretty gross if you ask me,” I told them.
They all started to laugh at me. I looked at them and they stopped laughing a little. “Polly, you do know what you just drank don’t you?” Charles asked me.
“No, I don’t,” I replied.
“Well Polly, you were just drinking human blood,” said Charles.
My eyes opened wide and I felt my mouth open a little. I stood up and walked back and forth across the room. After a while, I felt Charles wrap his arms around me. He pressed his lips against mine softly. I didn’t pull back, I just let him kiss me until he stopped. He grabbed my hand and brought me back to the table.
“Polly all of us were born this way. It just happened to be that my mom was a Princess growing up. She was next in line to the throne. She had to marry a Prince but she fell in love with Raymond.”
I looked at Abigail and she nodded at me.
“He was the one for me. It only took a glance into his eyes to know that. We would do stuff together. But mother didn’t want me to marry him. So she kept taking me out of town to visit Princes around the Vampire world. But nothing could break us apart. He was very handsome.”
Raymond leaned towards Abigail and gave her a kiss.
“She was the most beautiful girl I have ever laid eyes on,” said Raymond.
“I mated with him before my mother could set up an arranged marriage. We were bounded for life together. So my mother decided to do a traditional wedding. The whole kingdom came to our wedding. That night we made love to each other. I found out a week later that I was pregnant with a son.”
I looked at Charles and he smiled at me.
“When I was born, they never would let anyone see me except for our family. On my 10th birthday, they allowed me to go out into the town and see the world in which I would rule one day. I’ve been lonely for 100 years stuck at 17. My parents were worried about me. But then I found you,” said Charles.
He grabbed my hand and held onto it, I smiled at him to let him know how much I cared. He pulled me close to him and kissed my forehead. I could tell he wanted to know about me. I looked at him and he whispered something to his parents that I didn’t understand.
“Please tell us about your self Polly,” said Abigail.
“I was born in America. In a very small town. My Mother and Father loved me so much. I had two older brothers. They would tease me and pull my hair all the time. I only had 5 friends in my whole life but I only have one now. Before Charles found me, my father died. We have not found his body anywhere. All we found was a trail of blood. I’m worried for my Mother because her husband was dead and now I am gone. Every night she told me there was something special about me that no one knew not even me. Right now I’m 17. Just 17.” I said.
They looked at me as if they could cry they would. I smiled to let them know everything was alright. I felt Charles hug me, soon followed by Abigail and Raymond. I started to gasp because they were hugging me too tight. Abigail and Raymond let go of me and went to sit back down.
I could feel the love, fear, and sadness in the room. I’m not a Vampire but I could feel what they were feeling. I froze in place and saw my mother.
* Vision*
My mother was walking back and forth crying. My brothers were trying to calm her down.
“My baby is gone. My beloved Polly.” mother said.
Paul was on the phone talking to the police. John was watching videos of me when I was younger with my mother. Mother was weeping so hard that her eyes were hurting. Poor mother.
“My special little girl. Polly my daughter.” said my mother.
Carly my best friend was there. “The last time I saw her was at school. I’m sorry.”
“My little baby girl. My beloved Polly” said mother weeping.
I started coming back to reality and I heard someone calling me.
“POLLY!!! POLLY!!!!” I knew that voice anywhere. It was Charles.
“Are you ok darling?” asked Abigail.
“Mother,” is all I managed to say before everything went black. I saw mother weeping for me to come back and for me to be alive. I could hear her saying how special I was in many ways. Everything was spinning around me, everything my mother said to me, and everything I saw today, and felt. I slowly opened my eyes.
“I’m special,” I said.
