Vampire's Love

14

After Freen approved the idea of going out, everyone was excited about it, even me. I am stepping out of the palace without any intention of escaping. I find myself surprised by my behavior.

"Let me carry that for you," David said, bolting up to me and grabbing a bag packed with food.

"David, I'm fine. It's just a bag," I mumbled, snatching it away from him.

"The jeep is here, get in!" Fae shouted excitedly. Everyone took a seat, and David sat next to me, which made me feel very uncomfortable and slightly annoyed. I glanced out of the window and noticed another Jeep driving next to us, side by side.

It wasn't long before we arrived near a huge amusement park set up with thrilling rides and water rides in between the forest. I wondered how they made it here out of nowhere, with the trees surrounding the entire area, and everyone hopped out of the Jeep, the girls squealing excitedly.

As I stepped out, I smiled a little and breathed in the fresh air. Now this was more relaxing. Fern guided us inside through the bikes, warning us again and again not to go far in case we got lost. I'm annoyed, as the only threat here is them.

After walking for another half an hour through the forest, we stopped at a large patch of grass spread out and surrounded by trees, as they decided that this was the perfect place for us to set up the tent.

"Freen will bring the blood bags; until then, we can suck their bloods," I heard a vampire say, causing a shiver to run down my spine.

"Don't worry, they won't hurt you." David's voice caused me to jump up as I turned around to face him. 

"Yeah," I said shortly, walking away and trying to help the girls set up the tent. 

"After this trip, we'll hold a small party!" Faith shouted out the last word, and everyone cheered in excitement. A party again! I sighed.

"Let's go!" Fae exclaimed like a kid.

When I was about to walk, a hand grabbed my wrist, and I turned to look up at David."She is not allowed to go," he said.

"Well, that's too bad then," Fae said, not even questioning David as I frowned at him.

"Wait..." Before I could say anything, Fae walked away from us.

"Why can't I go?" I snapped as I swatted my hand and frowned at him. I've been looking forward to this. This was the only way for me to get my mind off things. Also, since Freen is not here, maybe there is a chance for me to escape.

"Freen's orders. She said to keep you safe and to make sure that you don't get hurt," David responded with a sigh, and I scoffed in frustration. "At any cost," he added.

"Now he's worried? I can take care of myself," I whined, not really meaning to sound like such a baby. "Becky—"

"Just, please? I really want to go," I begged, hoping he would let it go, but David stood his ground. "It's not safe for you; there might be others, which means that if you do get hurt—"

"Other vampires?" I interrupted him, and he nodded. I've always known that there were many vampire families out there, besides the Chankimha, but I didn't know they lived so close by. "Can I just go?" I asked softly. But David shook his head.

"Too bad, sweetheart," Danny said in a fake tone, and I narrowed my eyes at them.

"Whatever," I muttered, turning around and stomping inside the tent.

"Becky, come on," David groaned, but I ignored him as I closed the tent in annoyance.

"It's already past noon; what am I supposed to do here?" I asked myself before grabbing the bag of food and drinks. I opened it and found a wine bottle.

"One drink won't hurt!" I said to myself before opening the bottle. I closed my eyes before taking a sip, and then another. "Much better," I muttered to myself, feeling lightheaded.

"I've got to come up with a better plan!" I groaned, keeping the bottle away in case I got drunk, although I'm pretty sure I was drunk right now. I drank one after the other.

"Becky, we're going swimming in the nearby lake. Do you want to join us?" asked David.

I rolled my eyes before lying down. "I'm good. I'm not allowed out," I replied. They chuckled and went away. "If I can't have fun, then I will have the drinks," I said out loud, grabbing another bottle of wine and gulping it down.

I don't even know how many hours just passed by. The sour liquid ran down my throat, making my mind go completely hazy.

"Becky, come out to eat. We've set up the campfire," Mint called out. I groaned before staring at my bottle; my vision became even dizzier than before.

"Leave me alone!" I groaned, crossing my legs and muttering some curse words to myself.

"Becky, get out of there. Just because you can't go out doesn't mean you have to stay inside all day," Nam muttered, but my thoughts were drifting into my own world as I let out a giggle.

"Come out, you've been in there long enough," David said as she started zipping down the tent.

"Becky, what are you..." She trailed off, her eyes catching sight of an empty wine bottle.

"Have you been drinking?!" David asked in disbelief. I let out a fake gasp as Nam and Mint stood next to him.

"I'm not drunk!" I shot back, staring at him in shock. He had the audacity to accuse me of getting drunk?

"You were supposed to look after her," said Nam.

I forced myself to walk up to them. "Excuse me," I slurred, pointing my finger at David and glaring at him.

"Ah, it's dark," I said while looking at the sky in a sweet tone.

"Music! Where is the music?!" I asked out loud, causing some of them to chuckle before I looked at Phailin, who was now looking at me in disgust. "You, what's wrong with you? Always glaring at me?" I questioned and watched her eyes widen in surprise before she turned away in embarrassment.

"Go back in and rest; you need to—" Mint stopped as a burst of music came from the campfire.

"Now, there," I said, pointing my finger towards the campfire, where Danny was supposedly standing, "is the real fun." I started to dance. "Come on, let her have some fun," Mint chuckled as I stumbled.

It wasn't long before I was dancing along with them, and I motioned for David to come join us, but he refused.

I found my arms wrapped around Mint's neck as I moved my hips and danced alongside her.
