Blood and Snowflakes

Strange occurances

I reached the little cafe and took a seat in the booth at the back. The waitress came up to me and asked for my order with a polite smile. She was a pretty blonde with an average build. She probably had a lot of guys wanting her to be their dream girl. But she wasn't mine.

I gave her an order for a cup of coffee and she walked away with that same smile. I sat there trying to think about the reason I was drawn here. I couldn't figure it out.

The waitress brought my coffee out to me and I sat there for about an hour trying to think while sipping on my coffee. I thought about every possibility from a memory from my childhood to an unknown bloodlust. But nothing added up. I sat there truly puzzled.

After I finished my coffee I left money on the table plus a tip for the waitress and then continued towards home.

Once I got near the driveway to my house, the royal guards swarmed me asking all kinds of questions.

"Sire, are you okay?"

"Where have you been?"

"The royal highnesses are very concerned. Did you not think out your actions?"

I was dumbfounded. I had been gone only a few hours. I quickly replied to them once the confusion wore off.

"Im fine. I was at the cafe down the road a ways. I didn't think anyone would notice my absence."

After I finished speaking I heard a clap as the guards parted and my mother stepped through the parted guards. I can truly see where I get my gorgeous looks from. But boy did she look scary when she was pissed. And pissed she was. She walked right up to me and got in my face. I noticed her eyes were blood red and her fingers were glowing purple with the magic she is holding back.

"VLADIMIR BLOODKNIGHT! HOW DARE YOU JUST TAKE OFF LIKE THAT! DO YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED I WAS! GAH YOU ARE SO INFURIATING!"

With that she threw a ball of fire at a tree. As the purple ball erupted the entire tree fell. I really fucked this up. Sometimes I forget that I am only 17 and not just a prince. I knew how to get out of this though.

I walked up to her bad grabbed the hand that wasn't filled with magic and looked at her.

"Momma?" she slowly looked at me. Once she took note of my apologetic face she softened and nodded.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you where I was going. My head was clouded and I needed some air. I'm truly sorry. Can you forgive me?"

She looked at me sullenly and slightly exhausted as she sighed and said, "Yes I can forgive you. just please don't do it again. You had me worried sick. Oh and before I forget, guards call off the search party in the woods for me."

They replied and took off at lightening speed to go collect the others. I walked inside the house and started heading towards my room. As soon as I got to the doorway I heard my mother yell up at me.

"Oh and Vladimir? I expect you to be dressed elegantly in the next hour and downstairs in the ballroom. Me and your father decided that if you aren't going to search for your mate, then we are going to force you to find her through a ball here."

She walked away with a grin on her face as dread filled my head.

Fuck.
