"Alright everybody, line up..."

I nervously walked towards the line I tried to prepare as much as I can in every different areas but no one knows what actually happenes in here... All I know is that every time is different and they always choose 10 people to be in the choosing ceremony. They have a choosing ceremony every couple decades, Vampires don't live forever...

"We realize you all have been training very hard for this day... But this time the Queen has decided to transfer the rest of her power to the successor. You will win if you drink her blood and survive."

Everyone starts looking at eachother nervously, if Im not ment to be successor I will die. What if we all die?! This has never been done before, drinking another vampires blood, their power source... it's just taboo! Surely The Queen has gone mad! We are seriously going to die... I noticed that ben was standing next to the announcer and he was putting silver antient cups on a table. He perfectly lined up the cups and had placed a name card in front of each cup. All the candidates stood in front of each cup, they were empty. I noticed a girl that was next to me, her hands were shaking and she was sweating. You could tell she was scared.

"Bow down for the Queen!"

Everyone bows down just in time for the queen to appear, she looked at no one... "Thank you all for coming, you may stand up." Said the queen. Everyone stands up with their backs straight never looking in her eyes. The queen grabs a silver dagger and slices her hand making sure she's able to fill each cup with her blood. Ben, her servant, grabs a hankerchief and passes it to her. She grabs it and wipes her hands. "In this choosing ceremony I will explain the law that Queen Lea has put for us: Don't fall in love. In the ancient scriptures, she writes how love will get in the way of our duties as queen and can be used against us. The day that we win the war, you will be able to find love. Now that I have explained our law, you may drink." Said the queen as she began to walk to her throne. Once she sat down she gestured the announcer.

"Cups up!"

I grabbed my cup and raised it. Everybody was holding their eyes shut and shaking. I admit I was nervous too.

"You may drink. And goodluck."

I pulled the cup closer to my mouth, heart pounding... I can feel a chill going down my spine. I held my breath and drank all of her blood... It tasted bitter. I could hear people gaging and coughing, I felt really dizzy and my body felt like it was burning up... I looked around me and people where vomiting blood and some began to burn alive. I fell to the ground, I began to loose conciousness and thats when it all went black.
