Saved by the Shadow Prince

The Prince...

Felix's POV.........

What is that smell...its unlike any other..... Where is it coming from? God It's making me hungry... Where are you?... That smell is coming from right here somewhere. "Where are you?" There is something unique about this smell...this blood has to be from something, someone special..

My mind racing, scanning over the entire area...I have to find where that smell is coming from..I want them...I need them...it's driving me crazy! "THERE!!!" There that's where the smell is coming from..but they aren't moving...it doesn't even look like they are breathing. Racing to their side...it's a girl... She's beautiful... Her hair a chocolate brown...she is stunning... But Where is the blood coming from... I lift her arm and her hand is cover in blood...her own...I pull back her sleeve...he wrist covered in scars... Bite makes all up her arm.... All up both of her arms...someone has gotten to her first... My hand grazes the side of her neck... She her pulse is faint...

This girl...this beautiful girl..I'm holding her in my arms and she is dying... What am I going to do with her body..I can't just leave her here.... I can't let her lay in my arms and die....I mean killing is what I'm good at... It is what I do...but I can't let this beautiful human being die in my arms...her life is to precious...she can't be more that 17 or 18 years old...I can't leave her here...

Scooping her up into my arms, I have to get her somewhere safe..I can't let her die like this... Everyone sees me as the one with no emotion, no heart.. I'm really not like that...this girl can't go out like this... I'll get her help, I'll bring her back...we have the best doctors behind the palace walls.. She just has to make to the castle..."you'll be okay love..." Her heart is still slowing..her pulse is almost gone... I have to get her back to the palace... Now... Before she slips away....

If she is this beautiful practically lifeless I can only imagine how amazing she will be when she is  full of life..

"Who is that Felix?"

"I'm not sure Jasper...she's human..." Jasper grabs her from me seeing my blood covered clothing...He thinks I did this... " Jasper I didn't do this...I found her...she was alone and cold... She was in the woods...I couldn't do thi-" he pushes me away like I'm some sort of monster...well...I mean I am a monster...I kill to keep myself alive..But Jasper of all people should know I could never hurt someone as beautiful as the human he holds in his arms...

"We have to get her to the doctor, she will die without medications to stop the infection, and she needs blood. Who knows how much those animals took from her..." He says walking out of the main hall into the west wing of the palace. I don't think I have ever worried this much about a woman...a human woman at that....but her blood...it's different... I want her...she has to live...I have never felt anything like this towards any person...

"She is something different she isn't like us...she is human for Christ sake...she can't be anything more than a slave... She would make a fantastic blood slave... Allowing me to feed off of her when ever I please...where ever I please... Mmmm...just the thought gives me chills...knowing that I have my own personal blood slave...when ever I want..not having to share with anyone ever...she could be mine... Forever..." I mutter to myself lying back onto my bed..the door pushed closed...I sit straight up in my bed... "What the bloody hell am I thinking?! Making her into a blood slave?! I'm so ignorant...how could I ever do that to her?! Yes I want to feed off her...but not by force....this girl...she's different... I couldn't do that to her...I couldn't....she has been attacked...who knows what diseases she could have what infections they could have given her...who knows if she will even live...." Pushing myself up I walk to the window...the sky is so clear I can see all of the stars, and practically count the creators on the moon.... As I pace the floor I hear a light knock on the door..

"Come in..?"

"I'm sorry to bother you your highness...but the girl..she is stable..her heart beat is rising...we are giving her blood as we speak... Her blood type is rare...one of your favorites... O negative." The doctor says, peering through the door...I feel my eyes glare red... "You may see her if you would like..we have her cleaned up, and out of those nasty wet clothes." I nod my head and fully open the door...I have to see her...

"Is she awake?"

"Yes sire, she is..but she is refusing to talk, she is in much pain.."

" I will be down in a minute...let me get cleaned up..,I don't want her to imagine me as the monster who did those things to her.."

"Yes sir.." He says once more pulling the door shut behind him and leaving me to my lonesome again. I don't know what to do...I can't just walk in like hey this is my place..I'm the "prince of shadows" I found you in the woods practically dead. What's your name?...I walk into my bathroom turning on the water for a nice hot shower... I need it after the night I have had...pulling off my shirt... Looking at it, covered in her blood...and I wasn't even the one who had done this to her...yet I am the one who is covered in this poor girls blood... I step in just letting the water hit me...

Throwing on a old white t shit and some sweats I flip my hair back and leave the room.... The halls are to quiet...normally patti my youngest sister would be running and laughing and playing...but there is nothing, no sounds of laughter, no foot steps other than my own...

There it is..the big wooden door leading to the west wing of the palace..I push it open and what to my eyes should be standing at the end of the hall way was patti...frozen in complete shock..."Patti what is it?" I run to my sister and she smiles.

"Felix she is beautiful!!!!"

"Who is? Patti what are you talking about?"

"Her Felix! The pretty girl sitting on the bed"

I look over to see the girl I had just pulled from the woods...the lifeless beauty that was so mangled...she was practically dead...now she's up...she's moving..she's...she's gorgeous..I walk into the room where she... "Hello.." I say softly stepping towards her. She cowers away from me... "I won't hurt you love... I promise..." She looks at me her eyes looking up and down my body... She's terrified of me... "What's your name?"

"Carla.." She says soft spoken..I extend my hand reaching for her...she takes it... Well that's a step..I lean in to kiss her hand and she hit me...she really just hit me... I pull away...

" okay then...I got it don't try to kiss her hand.."  I say as Jasper steps into the room....I can feel him practically stares a hole in my back..." I'm not going to hurt her!" I spat..she jumps...I take a deep breath...I need to watch my tone around such a timid human..she is fragile...she is scares...." May I sit?" I ask

She shakes her head yes...and let's a small smile slowly sneak onto her face...her beautiful brown hair...soft green eyes...she is beautiful...when she smiles...wow...I don't know how to explain where she is...or why she is here... "Carla....do you know why you're here?"

"No...I don't know who you are..or why I'm here..or where I am?...all I remember is those guys...the way the attacked me..how they pushed me down...how they bit me...I could feel the blood flowing from my body..." She covers her mouth crying...shaking..I can see her heart beat rising...I wrap my arms around her...

"Shush Carla...nothing can hurt you here...I've got you...I'm here to protect you.." I kiss her forehead..."my names Felix...I'm the prince..." She looks up at me with tear filled wondering eyes.. "Don't worry about it love... Just focus on healing..."

How am I going to tell her that I'm not just the prince...I'm not alive...I have no heart beat...but I do have feelings....but how will I tell this beautiful girl...that I am the prince of shadows...
