I am the Daughter

Love? (27)

"All the bags are packed, we are ready when you are." A random vampire comes up to Sterling as we sit in the kitchen starring each other down. "Thanks Wes." Sterling says without breaking eye contact. "If you don't drink this I'll force it down your throat." He says narrowing his eyes. "I don't want it!" I yell at him. "Estrella." He whines out. "What!?" I snap quickly. "Drink the blood." He says softly. "No." I say shaking my head.

"You're hurt and you need to heal. Would you rather have mine?" "No." I say quietly. "You either drink this cup of blood or you drink mine. Choose before I do it for you." "Sterling." I beg. "Fine you'll have mine, this should be interesting." He says as he walks closer to me. I snap up quickly from my chair and attempt to run but can't get my crutches. "Why the hell did you set my crutches so far?" I scream as he eyes me almost predatory.

Before I know it he pins my wrists above my head in one of his hands as he pulls his wrist to his sharp fangs. He bites his wrist and slams it next to my closed mouth. "God damn it." He growls out as he pulls his wrist away and leans in close. He pulls me into a long kiss as he begs for me to open my mouth and eventually I cave. He pulls away quickly breathing hard as he sets his wrist on my now open mouth. I have no choice but to swallow the warm blood coming down my throat. I feel my inner beast escaping as I bite down harder for more blood as Sterling moans at my fangs entering his skin.

Eventually I feel Sterling trying to tell me to stop as I ignore him and continue before he pulls away. "Estrella." He calls out as I look at him with a wide smile covering my face. "Mhm?" I hum out as I lean into his chest. "How are you feeling?" He says with a knowing smirk. "Happy." I say as I give a small laugh. "I knew this would be interesting." He mumbles to himself as I lean my head in question. "Come we need to get rolling." He says as he picks me up and my crutches on the wall.

I hear some doors close and movement around me as I'm set on a fabric seat. "What the hell did you do to her?" A voice asks as I look up at the sky through the glass on the roof. "She had my blood." Sterling's voice carries towards me. "Now why would you do that? You know she's part human right? You should've expected this." That voice asks once more. "Tayo I realize this. Trust me it's better that she's happy right now. I didn't know what was going to happen. Either way she'll crash soon and it'll be a peaceful flight, without having sass princess awake over there." He laughs as Tayo joins in.

"You really like her don't you?" Tayo asks as I tie his name to the voice. "I think I love her." Sterling whispers. "We all know, she's got you whipped. What will happen when she meets your father?" He asks hushed. "Hopefully he never will meet her. We already know how he feels about halfs, throughout the supernatural world. Whether Dracula is her father or not, he still will hate her." He says almost so low I can't hear it.

"We'll talk later. Let's go to Iceland, I hate Iceland." Tayo says annoyed as I hear a door close and someone sit next to me. "Estrella." Sterling says as I look over at him. "You're so hot. Like it's almost illegal." I say as I try to grab his face. "Estrella." He continues. "Why don't we just make out for life? I know you wanna." I continue giggly at the end. "Estrella! Go to bed." He commands. "I'm not tired." I say watching him and his sigh. All of a sudden he pulls me close and looks into my eyes compelling me. "You will go to bed." He says as his voice lulls me into sleep.

"So you got her to sleep?" Tayo asks. "Compelled her." Sterling mentions. "How did you manage to do that?" "Simple. My blood is running through her veins, the human side of her that is." Sterling says as he runs his fingers through my messy hair. "She's a little complicated thing isn't she?" He laughs. "Yes. How much longer till we're there?" He asks. "I think 5 hours now." Tayo says as I hear him plop down on a chair.

"Good, then I'll have to leave to head back. I assume you'll stay there?" Sterling asks. "For a few days yes. My father wants me to attend one of his business meetings." He says in disgust. "Your dad helps us all." "Yes I realize this but it's not my select field I would wish to study." "I understand." "No you don't, you marry her and you get a kingdom." "Yes that she'll run. I would be king but she would run the kingdom." Sterling says almost proudly. "Is that how it works?" Tayo asks.

"What if I don't want to be queen?" I whisper as I open my eyes.
