Vampire's Bride

I'm Not Leaving

My alarm goes off at 8am. I try to move the covers off me thinking Arthur is out of bed walking around the palace but I feel arms wrap around me. The sun lightly shone through the window. It was an unusually sunny day. Arthur was gently breathing on my neck, his breath smelled like mint.

"Good morning, beautiful."

I smiled because his voice is soothing "Good morning, Arthur."

He pulled me closer to him, kissing my neck. It's amusing how he never sleeps yet doesn't leave this bed while I sleep. He's such a natural lover. He gently rubs the side of my belly.

"So do we have any special plans today?" I ask, smiling wide.

"Yes, we actually do."

I raised an eyebrow "Like what?"

He smiled "I'm taking you for a horse ride through the forest."

I smile "You're so romantic."

He pulls me closer to his chest "I love you."

"I love you too" I decide to get up from his bed to put on black leggings, a yellow spaghetti string t-shirt, a leather jacket, and black heels.

Surprisingly, Arthur doesn't wear a suit today. He put on brown pants, black boots, a white t-shirt, and a black leather jacket.

"Are you ready, your highness?" I smile.

"Yes, actually.

We take off on the noble brown horse he rode during the war. It was a gallivant horse, of great speed and stamina. Arthur says her name is 'Dustia'. She is a gorgeous steed. Galloping through the forest I can tell before I awoke this morning it just got done raining. It was muddy and humid outside. With it also eventually fading into the season of autumn. Slowly, the leaves are ever so dying as they fall to the ground. Very slowly since it's the end of summer and the beginning of fall. We rode deep enough into the forest that I saw a small cozy little cabin. It was a brown cabin with a white-picket-fence. With a willow tree off to the left of my view inside of the little fence.

"Arthur, where are we?"

He gets off the horse and opens the fence leading to the small cabin "I want you to see two very important people in my life" he reaches out his hand and gently helps me off the horse.

The cabin had a small wreath on the door. Arthur gently knocked on the door and it cracked open. He smiled at me before entering the small dark room. It had small candles lit with a little fire burning in the fireplace.

"Mother! Father! I've brought you a guest."

I hear the floorboards creak.. I see shadows moving in the dark before the lights turn on and I see a short woman with brown hair come from the kitchen.

"Arthur darling, it's nice to have you home!" She wraps her short little arms around him as a tall man with auburn hair and an auburn beard comes from upstairs "My son, you've brought home the lady you have been talking about. You failed to mention that she is Princess Elena."

I nervously smile, I haven't seen his parents in forever "King Edward and Queen Esmerelda!" I curtsy to them.

His mother wraps her short arms around me "Princess Elena Adolpha-Delvaux of Persiania! You are just as beautiful as you were last time I saw you!."

His father smiles "She is quite the beauty, to compliment her beauty she is very brave, courageous, and loving to the weak and innocent."

I smile "King Edward, it's nice to see you again."

He kisses my hand "Has my Arthur been taking good care of you?"

I giggle "He's quite the gentleman."

His mother smiles and elbows my side lightly "You can thank me for that."
