1840, Germany
Petra sat on her throne, watching as the nobility and aristocratic vampire and humans dance about, pleated dresses swayed across the dance floor. Nothing Petra never saw. Sighing, she sipped on her wine, ready for this evening to be over.
"Your majesty!" He father stood up and bowed. A short man with black hair and glaring eyes looked down at my father. Petra was stunned by his beauty and pale skin. She automatically knew he was a dominant.
"Please sir, have a seat." Petra's father guided the man to the highest throne where he normally sat. Lord Ral turned and stood by his daughter.
"King Cain- I mean, King Edward, this is my daughter, Petra." Petra stood and curtsy, lowering her head.
"Your highness."
So this must be the original vampire Cain. How amusing. My family were lucky enough to be the first vampires to come to Germany, receiving his majesty's permission to rule Germany while he resides else where.
She dared to look up, catching his eye. She gasped as his face got close to hers.
".....hm." King Edward smirked. Petra blushed deeply and moved back.
"How rude!" Her dad glared at her as Edward chuckled.
"You're a fearless brat, that's a good trait." Petra turned red.
"I-I know that!" She stormed out of the ball and out to the balcony to cool off.
"What a rude guy...."
"I could say the same to you, storming off like that." Edward leaned against the door, arms folded and smirking at her. She turned and glared at him.
"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be talking to my father about something important?" Edward looked down, blushing slightly.
".......I came out to apologize." Petra looked at him shocked. She looked down and twittled her  thumbs.
"I-It's fine.....you're the king and all..." Edward quickly closed the space between them.
"No, it's not......" He took a stand of her long hair, kissing it.
"You have beautiful hair." She blushed and looked down.
He smelt her and a look of confusion and surprise filled his face. Petra looked at him confused.
"What is it?"she could of sworn she showered yesterday. He looked at her thoughtfully.
"....you smell like vanilla." She was confused, then it clicked. She blushed again.
"Am I-.....Does that mean-" Edward leaned in and kissed her passionately. The shared a sweet kiss, and danced out on the balcony the whole night until sunrise.

White. Everything was white. The flowers, the decorations, her dress, and her groom. After their exchanged, Edward lifted her vail and kissed her.
"I love you Petra." She wrapped her arms around his waist.
"I love you too." They kissed again, Edward picking her up and brought her to their room, where they became one.

"What should we name him?" Edward rubbed Petra's belly.
"I'm not sure, what should we name him?" Edward smiled up at his wife. Petra looked thoughtfully.
"Mmm how about Levi?" She smiled. Edward laughed and kissed her belly.
"Levi huh? I like it." They shared a kiss, before Edward layed his head on her lap and fell asleep.

"Humans have infiltrated the castle!" The guards were on guard, trying to keep King Edward safe.
"I need to go back for my wife and unborn child!" The King began pushing and forcing his way out of protection, running back inside he castle. Any human who tried to stop him ended on the walls, floor, and ceiling. King Edward threw the doors of his room opened. He was greeted by his wife, impaled in the stomach with a sword, held by two humans.
"PETRA!" King Edward tore out their throats within seconds, leaning down in a pool of blood, holding his beloved close to him.
"I'm so sorry love....."

Months passed and until Petra's eyes opened. She will never forget what the humans told her that day. Edward knocked on her door, and opened. He saw she was awake and sighed in relief. He began to approach her.
"Petra-"
"Liar." Edward stopped and looked at her confused.
"Petra? Love, look at me." Petra sat up, looking outside.
"You said I smelled of vanilla, but it wasn't me, was it." Edward frowned.
".......no....it was your bloodline." Petra tensed and looked down.
"......and the baby?" Edward closed his eyes and looked away.
"....there was nothing we could do." Tears streamed down Petra's face.
"Did you know my father let the humans in?" Edward approached her.
"Did you know he did not want a child born of a monster?!" She screamed at him.
"That he would rather take the life of his only daughter to make sure that there would no body else more powerful than him?" Edward kneeled down next to her bed, taking her hands.
"I'm sorry Petra....I really am...." She turned slowly and looked at him lifeless.
"....did you ever really, truly loved me?" Edward opened his mouth but was cut off.
"Do not lie to me." He stopped and looked down at the ring on her hand.
"......No. Im sorry Petra." Petra covered her face and cried for the rest of the night, ending their relationship with an annulment, and Edward moving back to France.
*20 Century*
They met again in New York, Petra had cut her hair short, and she became a new person. She began to travel 50 years ago and decided to revisit New York. Petra contacted Edward after years, receiving his number through the letters he sent every 10 years. They sat down at a downtown coffee shop, drinking coffee silently.
"......Petra-"
"Edward, it's fine. I am not the same weak little girl I was, I've changed. And during this change, I've come to realize I still want to be I your life." She smiled at him. He returned the smile.
"I would like that. Friends?" He held out a hand. She glanced at it and took it gently and shook.
"Friends." They sat back, sipping on their coffee before Edward broke the silence.
"Oh, and the name is Levi now."
---------------------------------------
Authors note: wow, that's a lot to take in. Hopefully this isn't too confusing and you kinda get that Levi changes his name often. I don't know about you, but I would hate to be called by the name that killed my brother.:P Cain and able....remember? No, well okay. And let me know if something is confusing. I hope this was worth the wait!
