Vampire's Bride

Mrs. Arthur

It's been 2 ½ weeks since my arrival in Rolumpus since then I've really been settling in. Rolumpus isn't really too bad. Other than whenever it rains it's super cold. The sun maybe comes out two times a week. Usually it's quite cloudy. I think it's courteous and bold of Arthur to give me so many items during my stay. He's always been such a gentleman. He's exactly how I remembered him.

I sat inside my library with my new diary entry opened:

"July 14th, 2025

Arthur has been the sweetest guy since my arrival on June 26th. He's given me an elegant library and a necklace with a white agate in it. Lately we've been going on day and night strolls through the garden I recently made. Those are the best. We go to the pond and see the moonlight over us. We've gone on night drives...he has a black 2022 Lamborghini aventador S. We'd drive around Rolumpus going 92mph, my feet would be on the dashboard and the roof converted. Sometimes we'd sit inside this library and I'd read the history books to him and he'd tell me more details. The details the books never talk about. When Arthur is around other people, other than our daughter his eyes are red. But whenever it's just me and him or me, him, and Maria his eyes are his casual light green. Like our daughters or my presence soothes his anger. Later, finding in the history books since Rolumpus and Persiania had a war to determine who is the better group (since at the time the 4 countries were only groups ruled by different individuals, like each species had their own royal family) when it comes down to war. Since neither won, if Persiania and Rolumpus rulers were to ever marry their union would be powerful enough to take Kingstone and Jenoviah down in a heartbeat. Here, Persianian rules don't apply. Only Rolumpian rules apply because this is a completely different country than Persiania. I like how I'm cozy in his presence. Arthur is so kind. Whenever we go on our night rides when I get cold he'd take his jacket off and put it on me. Chivalry never died well, I don't know about the rest of the world but Arthur's chivalry never died. I just long to be beside him without Persiania ripping him away from me. I lost him a year ago and I don't want to lose him again. He's the one person other than my mother Moinette and my daughter Maria that has truly been beside me. Arthur deserves a head strong, smart, beautiful, and graceful woman. I may be a hybrid...a 'monster' but I fit all aspects of a woman he wants. If only I could run away from Persiania, fake my death or something so I would never have to leave him. I know our friendship is more than a friendship. I just wish I had the courage to act on it or he had the courage. Even if we did have the courage, Persiania courts would never approve our marriage. I'd make a good wife to Arthur...he'd have someone powerful to lead with him. But lord forbid, the 'dark moon' wolves and Delvaux Witches hate all Vampires' guts. You know, that's what's wrong with our world. If we came together things would be better. But everyone refuses. When my father found out my sister was secretly dating Prince Joshua, father forced them to stop communicating and that's why that rule applies. Vampires cannot talk to Witches and vice versa. If I were to admit feelings for Arthur the same would happen to me. Although, I'm not sure if these are feelings for Arthur. I may just be wooed by his sense of kindness. It couldn't possibly be love. I know that it's forbidden for a Witch to love a Vampire. But what if it was truly possible? Father calls them bloodsucking parasites but Arthur never has tried to bite or harm me. I wonder what his bite would do to a Witch or Werewolf...would it hurt, feed him, create a connection, turn them into a Vampire or hybrid, what if it was me? If only I could admit feelings for a Vampire without Persiania trying to bring down my happiness like they did with Camille's. If only..."

I closed my diary and locked it back up. Suddenly there was a knock at the door.

Arthur came rushing in "I bring you a peace offering" he sat down a cup of rose tea "it's early in the morning and I figured you need a 'pick me up'."

I laughed "Oh Arthur" I kissed his cheek "you know exactly how to cheer me up."
