Hes lost in his mind

Chapter 37 : Danielle

I peered at the picture of myself and Damien kissing. Had it really been that passionate? I had my eyes closed, his large muscular arms were around my waist holding me in place.

Had it really been that... strong?

Suddenly I heard a door open, but when I spun around and looked at the door there was no one there. Suddenly there was a hand on my shoulder.

I spun back around to see Teddy laughing at me.

"hey, Amelie! I was just going to invite you to my wedding... err, what are you doing here?"

"Teddy... we... I... you..." I stammered, unsure how to start this. But so far I was sounding like an idiot... I had to stop being so tongue tied and get it out.

"you're my cousin, Catherine. Aren't you? You used to be called Catherine. You had a little brother called Benny... I looked after him when you left."

Her mouth lay open, not saying anything. She was processing it.

"so... YOU'RE cousin Amelie?"

I nodded, and to my shock she pulled me into a hug. "I haven't seen you since you were a baby. How... how have you been?" she asked.

"um... fine? The the point where I got kidnapped by Damien... hey, my mums pretty excited for your wedding."

She smiled, her eyes filling with tears. Then she looked around. "what... IS all this?"

I flushed bright pink as she stared at the picture of me and Damien kissing, and told her "I THINK it's the royal families memory bank, and Damien just happens to have a whole gallery on ME,"

Teddy laughed. "aww, I thought you said you didn't like him?"

"it was a one off thing," I flipped her off. "besides, he seduced me."

"so did anything more happen?"

I stared at her in horror. "NO! I am pleased to say that I am still a virgin! Unlike YOU," I pointed at her, and she looked angry. "I'll have you know that I AM still a virgin, thank you."

"at least when you lose your virginity you'll have the CHOICE to!" I screamed, annoyed.

Teddy flushed. "who said I'd ever lose it?"

"well, you're going to need to produce a little baby heir, you know?"

"how can you say that? You'll need to!"

"I haven't won yet!"

Teddy looked around. "by the looks of things, the idea of letting you go doesn't exactly THRILL Damien,"

I flushed. Of course, I was going to be the Queen. I was only just processing now that if Damien was this obsessed with me I didn't have a choice.

\you're going to be Queen/ how could I process that?

I collapsed to the floor. "I don't WANT to be Queen! I don't want Damien, I don't want money, I don't want to become a FRICKIN' vampire like you!" I screamed.

She looked at me, and her eyes were filled with the sadness of a thousand lives.

"I'm not a vampire," she began to cry. "I've been trying to forget that part of everything for 3 years. That's how long I've been here. I wasn't rushed into anything. It took so long for me to forget that to be with the man I loved I'd have to be a vampire. Now..." her tears spilled all over the floor.
