"Brother, I have news for you" my brother Mike says while bursting inside my chamber. "What is it Mike? Don't tell me you got a girl to play again.." I say sarcastically rolling my eyes.... He sits on my bed and scoffs "How did you know brother?" Like I said he's a playboy. I know him better than anyone in this Palace Or you can tell in this world.
"But that's not the news I wanted to tell you about... Father wants to you in the Throne room" Okay, honestly what did I expect the news to be. "What does he want now?" I scoff. "Don't know, maybe I guess it's about your marriage again". And again, what did I expect. Could my life get any better now....? (Eyes roll)
I got out of bed and disappear into the throne room. I saw my father and mother eagerly waiting for me in the room, "Oh he's here, honey" My mother says to get his attention. "You wanted to see me, Father?" as I say, my father nods... I look at my mother she's also nodding. Is there a problem in their neck or something?? Why are they nodding like that?
Before I open my mouth to speak again... My father stops me and tells "She's here again". My eyes widen as soon as I hear the news, " S-she means, My moon right?" They nod. It's been 22 years since I was waiting for this moment to come.
She's here... She's really here.
"Where is she now, Father?" I say as I take a step closer to him. "She's in her palace, son" I take a step back and run towards my chamber to change. I'm going to see her, yes right now.
I waited 22 years, for her. For the love of my life.... I change into my normal clothes. She doesn't know that I'm a vampire, no one in her family knows about it. I rush out to the stables and take Juliet with me. "Come on Juliet, let's go meet her. No more waiting now."
I ride Juliet to her Palace. She was my childhood love, she the only person who has seen me at my good and bad. She had gone to Grandparents house because she was forced by her father... No one trusted me as much as she did. I still love her and only her, no women has entered my heart because they mean nothing to me. But her, she's different from every other women in this world. I speed up as Juliet begins to run faster.... I'm coming for you, my princess.
I'm at the entrance as the gates slowly open up for me. Of course they know me.... But not has a vampire but as her friend. Believe me or not, we are more than they can ever think. Let's see if she remembers you or not Drew... If not then, then be ready for it.
I get down from Juliet, and walk inside the palace and see the King and Queen of Wallachia. "Oh, Drew! Son, it's been a long time since I you were seen" says the queen, also called Eleanor wife of Alaric. I see Victor steps inside the room. As soon as he sees me, he rushes to give me a big hug. He's my best friend of all time....
"Damn brother, you are all build up.... Care to share the secret?" he says. "It's all blood, brother" I say... Everyone in the room laughs, but I don't think it's a joke. "Your still the same, funny" says the king. I bow down to them as a respect. But soon my eyes fall on a very magnificent figure which walks in the room... It's her, Bella. But haven't I already seen her few days ago. God dammit! She was so near to me all these days... How can you be blind Drew?? Do you think she'll remember or recognize you?
I straighten my posture as my eyes are still on her. "Drew! Oh my handsome man... It's been a while since I saw you. How have you been, my love?" says the very girl who is deeply obsessed with me. Princess Charlotte. "I've been great, princess. Thanks for asking" I put on a fake smile. I look at Bella... Who's standing at a distance trying not to laugh because of her sister's behavior.
"Dear Bella, Do you recognize him?" asks the King but the answer he gets back was a head shake letting him know that she doesn't remember me. Why do I feel this way? I feel sad and broke... But it's fine I'll make her remember me. I walk towards her and stand in front. I take her hand and bow down to my knees and slowly place a kiss on the back of her hand.... I look at her as a smile appears on her face. "Still a gentleman" says both Princess Charlotte and Queen Eleanor with love in their eyes.
"Mother, who's pal is he even?" says proud Victor as everybody in the room laughs at him. "Care for a walk, princess?" I ask Bella pulling out my hand at her. "Sure, My Lord" she's says bowing down for me taking my hand in hers.
I wink at Victor and others while mouth me good luck. I walk out of the room with Bella....
We walk in the garden, there was silence all the way our walk to the garden. She clears her throat and speaks "Why didn't you tell me before?" I look at her confused, "Pardon?" She stops walking and turns to look at me. Our eyes lock with each other's, "Why didn't you tell me that you knew my family?" She asks me again. "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you princess. My apologies." She smiles and we again continue to walk. We reach the pond where we used to play with each other... There are alot of memories here, I don't think she remembers any of them.
"So, how have you been Drew?" I stop walking as she said my name. It had been a while since I heard it from her, I don't why suddenly I feel happy. I feel like flying in happiness right now... Control Drew, she doesn't know who the real you are.
Do you know, how long I have waited?
"I've been good Bella, how have you been?" I question her. "Not good, not bad. I didn't really enjoy living with my grandparents.. Old people really are boring as I heard." I nod as we both talk about her stay in her grandparents house which was out of states. We sat down on a bench, she takes my hand in hers and looks into my eyes. "Drew, Can you take me to your house? I want to meet Aunt Twinkle and Uncle Andrew." I widen my eyes knowing she has been to our house many times but I need to inform mother before. "Just a minute, I'll be right back" I go away from her into the bushes.
I held my necklace which could connect to my mother. "Mother? Can you hear me?" I said. I got a response from the other side
Mother Twinkle: Yes, Drew. I can
Drew: Mother, Bella wants to come home.
Mother Twinkle: Oh my goodness! Bring her I'll take care of it over here.
Drew: Thank you, mother. Bye, Love you.
Mother Twinkle: Love you too, Honey.
I go back to Bella but she was no where to be found. I look for her everywhere but suddenly someone comes behind me as I get startled. "Boo! Got you." she said laughing, I look at her in disbelief. "Not funny" I say looking at her coldly...
"Oops! Sorry Mr Vampire" she says laughing loudly. She hasn't changed even a little bit. And she still calls me Vampire even though I'm really a vampire. Haha, funny life Drew!
"Let's go home, then... Are you ready?" I snap my finger as Juliet walks in. I help Bella hop on her and then we ride "To The Moon" I say.
"Drew! Stop running, wait for me" she's running behind me inside my palace until I reach the Throne Room. I see my parents waiting for us with all the gifts... "Mother and Father, She's here." Bella walks in after me and smiles at my parents, she bows to them as a respect.
My mother walk to her as she places a hand on her cheek "Oh, Ballerina you've grown up so much. When I saw you, you were so much younger." Yes, Her full name is Ballerina but every one calls her Bella in short. My Ballerina, I've missed her too much. I wish I could hug... But that would show no respect. Let's wait..... :(
"I missed you Aunt Twinkle. And Uncle Andrew, your handsome as ever, Old man." she says flirting with my father. "Oh you naughty Bella, you haven't changed at all." He says giving her a hug and a kiss on her forehead.
My mother hands Bella the gifts she prepared for her arrival. "Here Bella, have them. It's a small gift from the Red Family." she smiles.... "Aunty, being in this family is a big gift for me but thank you" she tells with a smile.
She has a pretty and beautiful smile, which possibly would made me fall for her. She the most beautiful woman I've seen after My Mother..... I wish I could tell her who really am I, but things wouldn't go that way if she knew. She might be scared of me, if she gets to know.
