MY EIGHTEEN BIRTHDAY

The great and awaited night for the celebration of my eighteenth birthday had arrived. This moment was very different from my other birthdays. This one would mark my passage to the beginning of a more mature age. From that moment, I should get more responsibility and I believed that I would have more powers to make my own choices in my life.

Differently from many people, I did not think that becoming older at age was something bad and frightened, on the contrary, I felt more secure about what I should want for my future and my present.

To commemorate this special day, the hall of ceremonies at the castle was arranged with a special decoration, which had been organized by my dear mother. She had taken care of every detail to make that date a memorable occasion in our lives.

In the large room, there was a huge table with specific food for my party. The tablecloth was black with violet. In the center of the table was an eighteen-story cake, in violet and black color. Right on the top of the cake, there was a princess similar to me, made of carved rock. It looked like a miniature of a statue representing my physiognomy.

The ceiling of the hall was decorated with violet and black fabrics. The lit torches helped to make the decor of my party even more beautiful.

The guests were few. At the beginning, there were only there, my grandfathers Vincent, dressed in his festive dress. Dark cape, white shirt with ruffles around the neck and also the wrists, dark trousers and long-barreled boots in black color.

My father also was already in the hall. He also wore elegant clothes. Black cape, navy blue shirt with ruffles around the collar and cuffs, black pants and black boots.

Enzo was also together with them. He wore a black cape, neon blue colored shirt with ruffles on his neck and wrists, dark pants and black boots.

My mother came to the big hall after she had helped me to get dressed up for the party. She, as always, made sure to do my hairdo.

When she reached the hall, soon walked to the cake table and watched it for some instants. Checking everything, to make herself sure she had not forgotten anything.

My mother was beautiful, wearing an elegant long dress in ruby red color, princess style. It was made of silk and there were some gold embroidery on the edge of the skirt and also in the regions of the low neck in horizontal style. Her long black hair was pulled back by a hairstyle at the top of her head above her head was a crown of ruby red stones. The Red lipstick on her lips made her the most beautiful vampire that I had even seen in all my life.

Realizing that my mother still admired the birthday cake, my father came to her and ended up hugging his wife from behind. His embrace showed that he was proud to be at the side of the creature he most admired and loved as his mate. They really loved each other so much.

"Our Princess is growing up."

He affirmed, also looking at the cake still intact on the gigantic table.

"Yes," Valkyrie said, touching the region of her abdomen. "Vær barely came out of my womb and now I see her like such a beautiful girl."

"She looks like you."

My mother smiled and leaned one side of her face on the shoulder of my father.

"She looks like both of us."

But my father said back with sweet words.

"She looks like me in personality."

At that moment, they looked at the castle's main door and saw Uncle Valmont arriving there, accompanied by his wife Aphrodite and their triplets Valmek, Vafro and Valtaigner.
