A vampire's vow

Chapter 1

Scarlet sat on her chair and giggled, she heard that the Redmoon kingdom was preparing an army to invade the Midnight kingdom, her kingdom. Still giggling her maid entered her private quarters without announcing herself or asking permission. Put off by her maid's actions, she looked at her in a grossed way.
"Mistress, said the maid, your cousin Prince Hanzo requests you to meet him for tea..." Scarlet looked at her and said: "I'm sorry, did I hear you ask to be in my presence ?" The maid, shocked, realized what she did and started to tremble, "I-I-I'm so s-s-sorry Pr-princess..." Scarlet lifted herself off the chair, the maid realizing what that meant, fell to her knees and started to beg. "Please Mistress spear me ! I have made a mistake ! It won't happen again ! Please, I beg you ! I will do anything you ask !" the maid said trembling in fear. "You already do anything I ask and it's too late." Scarlet replied, her sharp fangs already showing. *SNAP* The maid's head rolled on the floor as it started to stain the carpet with red. "Oh well, I guess Hanzo and I will have to settle with this poor thing..." As she grinned and started to laugh evilly as a knight came in the room and picked up the torn body and headed for the kitchen. "Don't forget to change the carpet." Scarlet said, laughing. "Yes Mistress..." The guard said as he bowed and took the body of the maid quickly before it could waist any more blood. Looking at Scarlet and the ripped up body, he remembered why she was feared when angry...

"What is THIS ?" Hanzo asked. Scarlet looked at her red nails and answered. "My maid... Or what's left of her..." She giggled as he looked in her eyes. "Next time I come over for a visit Scarlie dear, I want some better tasting blood than a stupid human maid's !" He sat back down with a sigh and rubbed his temple. "Besides, I came here to talk to you about the war with the Bloodmoons, what are you going to do ?" Scarlet smiled, her fangs still showing and told her cousin. "Listen dearie, what I'll do doesn't concern you, but just so you know, I don't need protection and I won't spill my strength an powers for nothing. I entrusted you with the Royal army and training, your men will fight and make the Midnight kingdom win." Hanzo hit the table. "I want you to be safe, as one of your own family members left, I demand you to be protected !" He said angrily and Scarlet's smile faded. "Fine, I'll hire a personal guard to be with me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. And I'll also have him approved by you, happy ?" She looked at him calmly and took a sip from the teacup filled with blood. "Yes, thank you..." Hanzo got up and kissed his cousin's cheeks. "I must leave to keep training the army, I'll come and visit you again tomorrow. Good day Scarlie..." As he turned around, Scarlet said. "Don't call me 'Scarlie' it's childish." She said sternly and looked out the balcony. Hanzo nodded and left the room with a worried smile, Scarlet was younger then him but acted twice as old as she was sometimes. He knew also that she didn't quite understand how powerful the Bloodmoon kingdom really was and how they could wipe out her own kingdom. He was worried for her even if he didn't really need to be: Scarlet was powerful thanks to her mother's powers and her training form her nanny. She was also a little crazed killer and psychotic sometimes. The good thing about her is that even if she never said to have felt love or happiness, she had respect for people she cared about and who were loyal to her even if she rarely showed it. As a child she would always fight for what she believed in and would away get what she wanted even if it meant to spill some of her own blood. In a way, Scarlet had not really changed... To Hanzo anyways. As he walked back down towards the training grounds he smiled, remembering how they used to play as children and thinking about the future of the Midnight Kingdom and of Scarlet's.
