Altered Fate

Let the Dating Begin (Chapter 6)

I woke up to the sound of knocks on my door. Rubbing my eyes I stepped out of bed and walked over to the door. When I opened it I saw Harry, Liam, and Niall all smiling at me. "Sorry we woke you up. Did you sleep well?" Liam asked. I nodded too tired to speak. "Can we come in?" Niall asked. I nodded again and went to sit on the couch. They joined me on the couch as well. We sat for a few minutes in awkward silence until Harry spoke saying, "You should get ready. After breakfast you will start the dating process. First me, then Liam, then Niall." I nodded once more and headed for the dressing room. As I entered it I made sure that the door was locked and closed completely just in case.

Looking at all the clothes I found the perfect dress. It was like the one at the ball except it was shorter and it didn't have the flower design on it. The top was black and the bottom part of the dress was white reaching knee length. I found a matching pair of black heels and went to take a shower. After that I put on my dress and heels then walked over to the mirror. I decided to put my hair in a bun. A bit of side bangs formed. I just tucked them behind my ear. I put on some mascara and lipgloss then grabbed my black leathered purse.

Leaving the room I sniffed my way to the dining room to find a long wooden table that could fit at least 30 people. At the other end of the table sat Harry, Liam, and Niall. Walking over to them I smelled something really, really good and the back of my throat started to itch slightly. I couldn't determine what the food or drink was but whatever it is I definitely want to have it. I sat down in a chair in between Harry and Niall with Liam in front of me. To start a conversation I said, "Something smells really good in here. What's that?" I pointed to the golden goblet where the delightful smell was coming from. Niall swallowed his food and said, "Um...That's fresh blood. Deer blood I think." I froze in the middle of eating my buttermilk pancakes. Blood?!? Fresh deer blood?!? How could something so disgusting smell so wonderful.

I was now deciding whether I should drink the blood or just leave it there. It was really hard to resist especially with the itch in the back of my neck growing stronger. The boys started to notice so I continued eating. "You know you can drink the blood if you want to. I know you're a half vampire and you can survive on human food but you will still thirst for blood from time to time," Liam said. Listening to every single word he had just said I knew he was right. Slowly I picked up the goblet and sipped a bit of the deer blood. It was the best thing I had ever tasted in my entire life. The itch in my throat felt a little better. By the time I drank the rest of the blood the itch was gone.

When everyone finished their meals we all stood up. Liam and Niall said their goodbyes and left. However Harry took my hand and intertwined our fingers saying, "You look lovely today." I knew better then to pull away from a vampire so I left my hand in his. I still don't completely trust these vampires. I said, " Thank you." He simply nodded. Talking in his regular husky and deep voice he said, "The dating process will begin now. Here, put this on." He reached inside his pocket and took out a blindfold. I playfully pouted and said, "You know I'm not really a fan of surprises." He smirked and swiftly put the blindfold on me. "Don't worry. This surprise will be a good one," Harry said. Then he put his hands on my shoulders and maneuvered me to wherever we were going.

For the hundredth time I said, "Are we there yet?" Harry finally said, "Yes." He took out the blindfold and once my eyes adjusted to the light I saw a wide plain of grass of flowers. Just a few feet ahead were three targets like the ones you use for archery. Archery?! Oh my gosh. I hadn't played archery for a long time since the invasion. I have to admit, I am pretty good at it. Next to us was a table with two bows and two sets of arrows. "Harry, you were right. This is a good surprise. I just happen to love archery,"I said. He smiled and said, "Let's try it then." I nodded and picked up a bow and one set of arrows. I slung the set of arrows across my chest. Lifting my arm I reached for an arrow and placed it next to my bow. I walked back a bit, careful not to trip. With the target about 25 feet away I placed my bow and arrow in the correct position. I took a deep breath and let go of my arrow. Bullseye! I fist pumped in the air and did a little victory dance. Harry chuckled a bit.

"Can you beat that?" I asked Harry. " Oh you bet I can." Harry said. Quickly he picked up a bow and a arrow. He set himself about 30 feet away from his target and stood in the correct position. When he let go of his arrow it hit just a little bit off the bulls eye. I smirked at him knowing that I won. He smirked backed then looked down. Ah...All he wanted to do was impress me but it didn't turn up for him. I walked up to him, hugged him, then whispered in his ear, "You did good for a boy." he chuckled as we separated from each other. Then, he held my hand as we walked back to the castle. This time without a blindfold.
