Princess Of The Underworld (Draft Copy)

Chapter 4- Finally experiencing the outside world

As time passed, we checked what the time was and it read 6:30 pm, meaning the sun had well and truly gone down. We both then went to get changed, ready to go out and explore the city we were in. I put on a short knee-length black dress with black heels, before then applying some natural make-up on. Ellerosé wore a mini pink skirt with a small pink cropped tank top and had white heeled shoes that went up to her knees and put her hair up in a long ponytail. I had kept my hair down as I always liked having it down, we then took our mini purses and headed out, we also made sure to close and lock our apartment door behind us before leaving.

As we walked down the stairs and onto the city's sidewalk, we headed towards the little diner that we had passed last night that was on the other side of the road. Once we crossed over onto the other side of the road, we continued our way up to the diner's entranceway and opened the door, once we opened the door a small bell that was connected to the door rang, letting the workers inside know they had customers. "hello, and welcome to one of the well-known diners around how may we help you?" once we were welcomed, we looked to see a small, fragile human wearing a light pink dress with a white apron on and a white maid look like headpiece stand in front of us with a smile on her face.

Ellerosé smiled "table for two please", the girl nodded while grabbing two menus and cutlery out from under the desk, before then leading us to the back of the diner to a two seated table, and placed the menus and cutlery down. Ellerosé and I followed the girl and sat at our allocated table looking over the menu, "hmm" I started to say while looking at the items that were available, I wasn't sure if I could stomach any of these items they had. Ellerosé had looked at me from across the table knowing exactly what I was thinking before then looking back at her menu.

not long after, I could sense and smell another vampire's presence other than Ellerosé very close by, the scent of the other vampire smelt sweet, but I shook my head, ignoring the scent and focused back looking at the menu. I then asked Ellerosé if they had anything that we could have that is suitable for people like us, Ellerosé looked up before calling over one of the workers with a wave of her hand, to ask if they had anything that was available for us to have.

I looked up to see that the girl who had come over to serve us standing still, I could see her skin turn pale like all the blood had left her body as she stared in shock as Ellerosé explained the situation to her, before then coming to her senses and headed towards the bar where she then got out two what seemed to be blood bags?

'How the fuck does she know that we are-..' I was then interrupted by yet another scent, but this time it was of more vampires and each one had a different scents of smell, huh seems this city is full of other vampires living among the humans, which the humans here must know who is a vampire and who isn't, I thought to myself.

When the girl returned to our table, she handed the two blood bags to us, I then came back from my train of thought as I smiled at the girl and grabbed the blood bags, I stared at them, observing closely and even holding them up to my nose, smelling them to see which one I can have, as I need special blood to take as I am a royal.

Yes, royal vampires drink different blood types from non royal vampires, as the special blood helps us royals stay strong and focused. As we also have powers, for example, I can read minds, transform into a bat and most of all can control any vampire to either do what I want or to distract them and destroy them or even let them know when they have crossed the line, sometimes with other royals it is a bit challenging to control them, but I have been practicing on my parents over the years so I can master it. But I use it when it is only necessary to do so.

After having a snack, Ellerosé got up and went over to the counter to pay, I then got up and began to walk over, as I walked passed the closed doors leading to the kitchen, I smelt that sweet scented presence again, it seemed they had a vampire working here, I wonder if that is how the humans here know what exactly people like me eat. I didn't stop to see though, and continued walking towards Ellerosé, where she had finished paying, we both thanked the staff before heading outside.

"where to next?" I asked Ellerosé who then turned and smiled at me "can you dance any other dance than the waltz?" I looked at her confused before replying back "um..I wouldn't say i'm that good of a dancer..why?" Ellerosé proceeded on with "oh, because I know one of the most popular nightclubs here, we could go check it out, if ya up for it that is" she then smirked a teasing smile at me, I rolled my eyes before looking dead straight into her eyes saying "bring.it.on" as I smiled a challenge accepted smile towards her, and with that Ellerosé grabbed my arm while smiling back and we began walking down the walkway as we laughed while heading towards the night club.

I always knew that Ellerosé was the party type, she would always tell me what it was like whenever she comes and visits me. She would go on to tell me all the stories and adventures she would always have, and how some experiences from outside of the palace underworld can be a little scary, if you don't know what you are doing. Now i'm experiencing all of this for the first time and I'm enjoying it all, not having to do or think of any royal responsibilities, I love being this free and being able to do anything without following any royal rules or even being escorted by any guards .. well I kind of do have one with me, but one who is fun and is my friend who I see very much like an older sister. I just wish I could do all of these fun things all the time..but as they say, all good things must come to an end eventually..
