Tattooed Vampires

Chapter Four

It was past midnight already. The moon shone through the top of the forest and fog barely covered the floor of the forest. I decided to see my best friend Aeralyn, who I loved very much. I trusted her with my life. She lives in town, and it's a ways away, but at my pace, it's not long. I've wanted to take a walk by myself for a while now instead of tiring out those poor horses, so I put on some sweatpants and a hoodie then start walking.

About halfway through my walk, I smell werewolves. And they're royals, too. What are werewolves doing in the vampire realm? The ball isn't for a week. I decide to eavesdrop on the two.

"Dude, I do not want to go to that ball, Especially if There's vampires there!" One complained. "Zach.... Just stop talking... vampires and werewolves have no reason to hate each other." The other said.

"I don't want to. They certainly do. Do you remember that legend about the God Lycaon and the Goddess Selene!?" The unknown one said.

"Hello boys," I say in a flat tone, they gaze shifting to me at what seemed like light speed. "I'll address myself. I'm Princess London Adams, heir to the throne." I say, shifting my gaze between the two.

"You're a vampire." Zach sneers, while the other one nods. "We're both Betas of the Ambersy Pack. I'm Jordan, this is Zach." Jordan introduces them to me. I nod gratefully for not making it awkward.

"Ah, so you're not just regular werewolves. Royal ones. Huh, what a coincidence." I chuckle softly. I stand up straight and cross my arms. "Now, why are you here?"

"Royals, Indeed. Now, Why are you here? Also, The ball isn't for another week. Why are you here so early? Is there something going on I should know about?" My eyes shift to the both of them, and then listen very carefully for any other breathing.

There was no other breathing, so I'm almost certain that nobody is watching us. "Honestly, we don't know... we just wanted to explore." Zach says, shrugging slightly. "Be on your way then. Nothing here for you." I say and finally take a slight look at their features.

Jordan is tall, maybe 6'4, with a slightly lean body. I couldn't see his facial features much, but he has curly black hair. Zach is the same height, if not a few inches taller. Same body type, no features could be made out despite my ability to see well in the dark.

I watch them turn away and transform into their wolves. It's always such a fascinating thing to watch. Their homes cracking, the way they extend, break, shape themselves.. it's awesome.
