Hunted by my Prey

Chapter 1 ~ The Fair

 I've dedicated this to katrocks247 as she is by far one of my favorite authors here, on wattpad. If for some weird reason you've ended up here but have never heard of her, you should really go and check her out :)

The girls in the picture are Melody (dark hair) and Kamaka (blonde).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapter 1

The air was chilly out. It was just perfect. I needed some time to myself to think about all that had just happened. How could they think I was okay with this ? How would they ever think I would be satisfied with marrying some stranger.

My long dark hair flew around my face as the wind bit into my skin. The festival looked beautiful tonight, as the warm colors from the lamps hung about, dimly lit the scene. As I walked by, some people openly stared at me. I wasn't anything special really but I gave off a certain aura of power. You see, I wasn't human. I was a pure bred royal vampire and even though I hated it since birth, I couldn't help the fact that I was completely in love with the power I possessed. I'm not a very strong vampire but I am most definitely stronger than the average human.

I was a little above five feet with a very petite frame and long dark hair cascading down to my hips and liquorice colored eyes to match. My features framed my pale face nicely. I was a mere eighteen years old and lacked control over both my hunger and the power I contained within me. My parents would go berserk if they knew I left the castle alone without any of the royal escorts to accompany me. Let's just say, it wasn't exactly safe for anyone that I was freely stalking around this festival and with the hunters out there dying to get their hands on vamp royalty, it wasn't exactly smart either.

"Yummy, Seth, look what we have here," a raspy voice whispered in my ear. I spun around, surprised by the fact that I didn't sense anything. It was a built young man with shaggy blonde hair.

Great, I thought. I was not in the best of moods tonight and it wouldn't take much to push me over the brink of control. Another three young men appeared in front of me almost eating me whole with their eyes. I was going to be sick. Even in this situation, I had to admit they were all pretty good looking but they were all human nonetheless. I could smell their blood and I was not in the mood for a meal.

One with chestnut colored eyes stepped out from the group and grabbed my upper arm, "So tell me, what's a beautiful leech like you doing out here all alone?"

I was shocked. They knew I was a vampire and it suddenly hit me that they must be hunters to be able to recognize me just by sight. I shuddered. I was absolutely no match for trained vampire hunters.

"You smell pretty," Dirty Blonde said whilst sniffing my neck. I whimpered and tried to pull away from his hold. He wouldn't budge so I bared my fangs at them. They stood still taking me in. I knew I must have looked mesmerizing and sinister to them. My black eyes were turning blood red and my teeth were sharpening. My features were becoming sharper and I knew that to them, I probably looked like a beautiful angelic demon who was thirty seconds away from kicking their non-existent asses.

"She's of no use to us. Let her go." A husky voice from behind me said. I turned around to see who said it and was shocked to see I came face to face with the most beautiful creature I have ever seen. He was over a foot taller then me and had long black her almost reaching his shoulders. His pale features, high cheek bones and beautiful jaw line almost left me paralyzed. But what shocked me the most was how absolutely stunning his eyes were. They were a violet color with specks of blue and pink, heavily hooded with long dark eyelashes.
