I am the Daughter

Alone Or Not. (10)

I slam my fist against the tree as I feel the trunk snap and splinter as I pull my fist away and gasp at the result. The wood has a huge hole due to me as it splinters around the impact. I grip my fist and I hold back the screams I want to yell. Thoughts run through my mind as my brain takes the new information in. "Why me? Why can't I be normal just like everyone else?" I whisper out. "Because you weren't supposed to be." A deep voice echoes through the woods. "Well I wish I was normal." I hush out ignoring the warning bells going through my head at this teenager being near me.

"If you were meant to be normal, you would crave to be different. You are you Estrella and no one else can be you, take some honor in the fact that you are one of a kind." He says as I see his shadow emerge from the dark. "Who are you?" I ask. "A friend, just a friend." He says quickly. "What are you?" I ask again as I don't hear any heartbeat. "Slow on the senses are we? What do you think I am dear?" He asks. "A vampire." I whisper as I watch him closely analyzing his future moves. "I do not wish to fight." He says calmly. "Why are you here?" I ask sharply.

"I've come to give you a message." He says. "How did you get onto Hunter lands?" I ask once more. "I never said I wasn't sneaky." He smirks through the darkness. "Who are you?" I repeat. "I'm Xzavier, if you really care to know." He says as I take a step back. "Deliver your message or I'll shoot." I threaten getting tired of this conversation. "As you wish. No need to be hostile towards me, Princess." He tells me causing me to rest my hand on my gun. "Do not call me that." I say through clenched teeth. "I'm sorry, I have forgotten you weren't raised as such Royalty." He states pushing my patience.

"Message now." I demand as he laughs. "I have come to bring you home." He says causing me to pull out my gun as I aim it towards him. "You have come for nothing then. I will not go with you." I say narrowing my eyes as I back up giving more space between us. He shows himself as I adjust my eyesight and focus on him. He's around 6'3, crystal blue eyes and a fit form with a strong jawline not to mention his gelled black hair that sticks in an attractive way. I notice he wears black vintage clothing that seem like a whole different time zone.

"I'll give you two choic-" "And what would that be, come with me by yourself or I'll make you come? I may be your next heir but I'm not a puppet so back off before I pull this trigger." I spit out dangerously. His smirk only grows wider as it turns into a wicked smile. "I was gonna say either come now or risk your precious Hunters to fall." He says waiting for my reaction. "Don't you dare touch my family." I yell at him.

"Family? You may have been brainwashed into believing this is your family but your real family is with the vampires. You're practically one of us Estrella. You and I both know full and well you'll fit in better with us then you ever would with this pathetic family of yours." He says as I send a bullet into his leg causing him to yell out as he falls to the ground in a heap. His eyes look up at me causing a chill to run through my veins at his glowing icy blue eyes.

"Listen to me full and well, vampire. I may be more of you than I am a true Hunter but this is my home. Dracula never came for me, I was raised to kill your kind. I will never fit into your cookie cutter society, do you not realize this? Clearly Dracula doesn't care enough to rescue his one and only fucking daughter, so why the hell should I care what you have to say?!" I scream at him as he watches me with narrowed eyes on the dirt below me with a slight smirk.

"I was giving you a warning, in two days we will burn the whole house down and wreck havoc on the Hunters until you are either captured or taken against your will. Dracula is your father at least give him some respect Estrella." He spits out. "Do you think I care!? Stay the hell away from my family, vampire." I harshly say.

All of a sudden I'm pressed into a tree as he pins me down and grabs my wrist causing me to drop my gun as I try to push him off of me. "Get off of me!" I yell at him before he leans in close and kisses me. I close my eyes enjoying the feeling of sparks that flow between us as he pulls away smirking. "Get off of me." I whisper in a daze. "Two days, love. Or you can come with me now." He taunts me.

"No." I slur out. "So loopy." He laughs out. "What did you do to me?" I ask groggily. "I kissed you darling. You can come with me." He says starring into my eyes trying to compel me. I snap out of my daze as I smile at him. I notice his strength has loosen after he kissed me. "Nice try." I whisper as I push him back and speed off leaving my gun behind as I run back to the main house. I hear a groan in the distance from as he realizes what I just did, I resisted his compulsion.
