Vampire's Bride

I Can't

I stand in front of my father's office door in panic but confidence. He's inside preparing for the wedding that I don't want to go forth with.

I place my hand on the knob preparing for the worst. I start turning the door and it opens.

Father looks up from a bunch of papers scattered out on his desk "Hi, Elena!"

"Hi, father."

"Have you come to help plan the wedding?"

"No, I haven't" I stand in front of his desk with my arms crossed.

"Well state your presence"

I clear my throat and sit on the comfy white stool "I don't want to go through with the wedding-"

"Nope."

"Why?"

"For one we are a few months away, two I've already sent invitations out, and three it's about our empire Elena."

"I don't care about the empire. I care about the wellbeing of my Persianian citizens."

"But Elena, if our empire is strong then we will be rich. You will be rich, our nation will be the strongest, and with descendants from now, we will be the most powerful Kingdom in the entire world."

"So why can't I marry Arthur? He is the blood grandson of a powerful King."

"I don't like Vampires. His grandfather was a dictator."

"Why?"

He sighed "After having your grandparents murdered by a Vampire do you really think I should explain? On top of that he's the grandson of a dictator. Whose to say he won't be one?"

"Father, I'm the daughter of one. I'm a Witch and Werewolf. I'm stronger than the average Vampire, Werewolf, and Witch. His grandfather isn't a blood sucking dictator like you claim. He murdered all of those people because they hurt his daughter which is King Edwards baby sister."

"Elena, no. I'm not risking your life to one of those monsters."

"Well I'm not marrying Jacob, he's my cousin."

"I don't care, he's a fearless leader. We need more people like that in our family line."

"Leader or not, me marrying him will break law 49 of Persiania. 'Blood relatives may have a sexual interactions but not marry by the court of law'.''

"I am the law which means I can break it!"

"What would you do if Persiania found out you're using me as a crutch to power?"

"You wouldn't!" his eyes go wide.

I smiled "I would. As a matter of fact, my people have the right to know the truth about what you're pinning on me."

"If you don't stop I'll make Camille Queen!"

"She's smart enough to not allow you to hoax her into anything."

"You're crossing the line!" he said, frightened.

I grinned with my Werewolf fangs showing "Ah, am I?"

"Stop it! You're marrying Jacob or you don't get your throne!"

"Have you forgotten who I am?" I said mischievously "I am the Princess of Darkness and the most powerful being to walk the face of our planet. You could take my title but I'd burn yours."

He gulps resting his hands on the desk "Elena, why don't you want more power?"

"I'll tell you what I told Alistar. I'm the most powerful being to walk the face of the earth in modern day. I control the urge of any anger and impulsivity to war. I was once engaged to Alistar, the most powerful Warlock ever. To Persiania I am one of the darkest Witches. I don't need nor want any more power than what I got!"
