I am the Daughter

New Mansion? (28)

I watch Sterling as he opens his mouth but quickly closes it trying to hold in his words. "Estrella." Tayo says behind in front of me as I angle my eyes in his direction. "Yeah?" "You do realize you don't have a choice right? You are the first born not to mention the only born. The title is pretty much yours." He says rubbing his neck.

"But I'm not even fully a vampire." "But someday you will be, you'll be just like us. Well we at least think that, for all we know you could remain the same." Sterling adds on. "If I become just like you, wouldn't I be a normal vampire? I could just be a regular vampire." I say. "I'm afraid you won't be like us at all. You will be queen, and if you get a half like yourself, more than likely you'll be a little more wild or your already vampiric side could cancel it out all entirely. Either way Estrella you will take the throne whether you like it or not, it's written in your blood." Sterling tells me as he looks down at me.

"And what of you?" I say looking at Tayo. "You have your fathers business, what is it?" I add on. "Uhm.. He sells human blood throughout the states." "Biggest company." Sterling adds on laughing. "How new are vampires? I know you haven't been here long but everything is set up already." I ask. "Your father helped everyone. Dracula bite 15 men, from there it spread, he helped everyone out to get started and moving. He claimed his title and gave my father one as well. My dad and your father are very close friends, my dad is second turned. Your father was the first one turned, but everyone wasn't far behind him." He says as I sit up on the couch and off his lap.

"You were forming when this all happened. As soon as your father made the deal, he went to others. Whether that be forcefully or not people were in transformation. We spread fast and quick, unnoticeable." He tells me as I flicker back to the party we both went to. "What was that girls name at the party a while ago?" "Sela? Tayo we need to go party after all this." He says looking up to a pacing Tayo. "Yeah if my dad lets me see the sun. I'm about to jump into the business." "No I didn't meet her, you talked about her. I met Sela." "Then who? Perfect time to go party then Tayo." Sterling says.

"Am I not invited to the party?" I ask and Sterling laughs. "Sure you can come." "Sarah her name was Sarah." I recall as I see both boys go still. "What's so bad about that name?" I add on quickly. "I would rather not talk about it." Sterling says wide eyed. "Wow ok." I say quickly. "It's not something that is important." He adds on watching Tayo. I remain quiet and to myself as they watch me closely. "We're landing." Sterling says as I feel the plane begin to dip.

Before I know it the plane touches the ground and stops as Sterling gets up from the couch to open the door. "Welcome to Iceland. Fucking hate Iceland." Tayo mumbles under his breath. I stand up and see my crutches off on the side of the other couch and I groan slightly. I start to wobble over when Sterling flashes over and grabs them for me. "Here you go." He says watching me. I nod my head and the crutches as I slip them under my arms and I walk to the planes entrance.

I don't understand why he can't just tell me who this Sarah chick is. Like what happened that was so bad? I walk out of the plane and I'm meet to a runway and a pretty mansion in the background. I thought it was a castle? I hear the boys walk out of the plane as I continue to move slowly towards the mansion. "Want me to flash you?" Sterling asks as appears next to me. "No." I tell him quickly. "You'll get there faster." He says smiling. "Sterling I said no." I say as I continue to move forward.

"What's your problem?" He asks scanning me over making sure I didn't hurt myself worse. "Nothing." I say as I turn my head and pick up my pace. He flashes next to me and grabs my hand stoping me. "Seriously E, what's the matter?" "Who the hell is Sarah?" I almost yell. "Is this really what this fit is about?" He asks almost laughing. "Yes Sterling it is. Because everyone seems to know and I don't. I know I haven't known you long but clearly she means something if you tense up at her name." I say pulling my hand out of his.

"Do you really want to know? Sarah was my dads plan to set me up with a idiotic girl. She wanted me for my money, and my title. Fooled my dad into thinking she was the one for me. I tense because it's not a memory I would like to replay. She played me, strung my feelings along, then went and killed herself. Do you know what I did when I realized she was dead? It was a while ago. That's who she is." He says as I stand there stunned almost.

"Estrella?" Sterling calls as I watch him and I attack him in a hug. "I'm so sorry." I whisper as he wraps his arms around me. "No I should be apologizing, I should've told you." "Fine we're both sorry. Can we please get to the mansion? It's chilly out here." I say as I pull away from him. "Ah I forgot you feel temperature , yeah we can." He says as he grabs me tighter as I feel us blur until I see the front door of the mansion.
