" Um...can I please see the king?", I could hear Danielle asking Byni in the hallway right outside my room. " I'm sorry, Lady Danielle but the king doesn't wish to see you at the moment", Byni replied. " But could you please ask him that I've come to visit? And that it's important that I visit him?" "I'm sorry Lady, but I've already informed him but he refuses your visit", Byni said sounding extremely sorry.
It was true that I didn't want to see her. I had been in a supernatural battle and was injured badly. There were claw and teeth marks all over and I exactly didn't want her to see me like that. Moreover, I had to be in my full vampire form to quicken my healing. And as she didn't know anything about me being a vampire, I couldn't let that happen. I wanted to see her, but it was for her own good not to be exposed the negative side of mine.
I was lost in my thoughts when the door of my room banged open to reveal a furious looking Danielle. There were guards all behind her trying to drag her away from my room. " Seriously Vlad?! You'd been playing with me all this while? Now you don't even want to see me?", She rebuked. She was struggling to get herself free from the grip of the guards who were trying to drag her away. I felt bad at my deeds. " Let her in and close the door behind us!", I ordered. The let her in and closed the door.
She stood like that, standing in her peach coloured gown, teas threatening to spill from her eyes. " You don't love me, do you?", She asked stiffling a sob. " No...I do love you, I love you a lot. There's no measure of it. There's that much love," I stated, my voice hoarse and raspy. I was struggling to sit up when she ran to me and said, " hey..you need to rest. You don't have to sit up", she said. I closed my eyes and tilted my face to avoid her knowing who I really was. " Why aren't you looking at me?", She asked curiously. Hurt clearly evident in her voice. " Please look at me, Vlad?", She pleaded. I was mentally straining and struggling to come up with an excuse. " I..I can't", I said failing to come up with one. She cupped my face and tilted my face towards her. I closed my mouth and eyes to prevent looking at her.
" Look at me Vlad. I want to see the beautiful green eyes of yours", she said. That's the problem Danielle. They aren't green now. They are the colour you would wish you would never have seen. But then I could feel two fingers pressing the area between my eyebrows. It made my head hurt so much that I was forced to open my eyes. " You have the power of compulsion?!!", I asked shocked. " I do", she stated. I could see her eyes widening in astonishment when she looked into my eyes. She pried my lips open and I could feel her fingers on my fangs. " You're a vampire!", She gasped in wonder and surprise as a little child introduced to some exciting toy or object. " B..but, what are you?", I asked her curiously. She fiddled nervously with her fingers and said " a..a witch."
There was dead silence in her room. " I can't sense any darkness in you", I said. That's because I'm a white witch. They are very rare to be found. She removed a big diamond crested necklace from her neck and slipped it down to my neck " You need it more than I do.", she said smiling. " What is this? ", I asked looking at the beautiful piece of jewelry. " It's a diamond bewitched with positive energies and powers. I'm not allowed to tell you of it's properties. You have to discover it on your own.", She said.
I shifted a bit, leaving her some space to sit down on my huge king sized bed. She sat down and started running her fingers through my hair. I held her waist and pulled her down to my level. She gasped and blushed leaving me amused. I kissed her deeply opening her bun letting her beautiful golden locks free which fell down her chest. She knew what I wanted.
She held her locks of hair and removed it to the side, revealing her neck. She looked directly into my eyes as she drew closer, offering her neck to me. I grabbed her waist drawing her closer to me. I started trailing butterfly kisses down from her ear to throat. I could hear her heart racing. I nuzzled into her neck inhaling her sweet scent of lavender and cherries. I licked and sucked on her neck, kissing occasionally. She grabbed my hair pulling me closer. I extended my entire fangs and sunk them into her flesh. I could feel her hands gripping on my hair tighter. I relished the sweet taste of her blood flowing into my mouth. I knew it was very addictive. But then I pulled out before I could drink much.
She smiled and blushed looking at me. I smiled at her back. "You taste beautiful, dear. ", I said. She giggled and kissed me. I kissed her back. I bit into my wrist and placed it in front of her mouth. She looked reluctantly at it. " Don't worry honey. You wont turn. I haven't injected the venom into you to turn you into my kind.", I said smiling. She looked at my wrist and sucked on my wrist. I could feel my heart clenching. Our bonds becoming stronger. I could see her pupils dilating along with mine. She gasped as she clutched her chest, her eyes wide with wonder. She smiled I wonder and exclaimed, " you felt that?!" I laughed and said , " I did." I chuckled and pulled her closer to me. She rested her head on the place below my arms. I wanted her to to sleep on my chest but then I was injured. She flashed a smile at me and started massaging my head. I took her hand and kissed it. She kissed my cheek and started fiddling with my hair. Within moments, I knew I was holding her close and we were both asleep. As long as I had her in my arms..I knew I needed nothing else.
