After my disappearance, I quite often thought about what would happen to my family. Together they could barely support the barricade of emotions trying to overflow them and make them lose their balance. Their emotions tried to drown them but they we...

**Aurora's POV**
I felt broken inside. I sat there numb in a random run down building in a town with Kierran and Xavier by my side. "Are you going to start explaining, why I got kidnapped by your vampire sister Cassara?" He looked at me with sadness in his eyes. "Now you have to understand the only reason I didn't tell you from the start is because people hate me for it no matter what, I am the illegitimate son of the king of vampires, by illegitimate I mean I am half vampire and half human, now most women die before having a kid like this but see I was born, and to the king."
LMy full name is "Kierran Malevolent Creighton, I thought that would earn me enough trust because see you knowing that has power because someone can bewitch me if they know my full true name. Names have power." I looked at him not knowing how much more of this I could take. I was actually starting to fall in love with him.
"I was born a little over 400 years ago, 409 to be exact my father raised me for a little while considering I was his son but he said if the public ever found out about me he would have to abandon ship because the law states abominations are to be exterminated. So 250 years went by and I was fine no problem at all. They believed me to be the heir to the throne, many respected and cherished me." I felt terrible for everything he had to go through 400 years of this bullshit! I felt outraged it made me want to kill each vampire more and more.
He wiped a tear from his eye "The difference between half breeds and vampires is we are weaker essentially unless I catch you in the daylight then we are equal. Another major difference is the one that got me caught see I wore contacts everyday even as a baby my nanny was sworn to secrecy. Also half-breeds fangs are retractable so I can blend in with human and vampire society. We were originally made to make our societies come together. Then when they decided to take over we became illegal because they didn't want to make peace with you they wanted a feast."
I glanced at him understanding his words. He is illegal because of his kinds laws. "As I was saying, so I had to train for a few years to keep my fangs out at all times, well when I'm sleeping they retract because I'm not forcing it.... Guards came in realized I didn't have fangs reported it to the council bam I'm locked up for 150 years because father was too stubborn to let them kill me."
"You wanted to die?" I said while staring at him angrily "Not now, when I was in there I did there was literally no hope." He looked into my soul trying to make me understand with his eyes. "I went through 150 years being chained to a wall while being tortured and poked and prodded, with no escape. While I know my sister is being raised upstairs having the life I never had."
I tried to hold him but he just kept staring off into the distance. "Stop it, you hate me deep down I know you do, I'm the reason you got kidnapped." I looked at Kierran "I don't hate you, I'm upset you didn't tell me your secret but I understand you wanted to have your own life, and I probably would have hated you if you told me before I got to know you."
Kierran nodded his head "I don't hate you though." I hugged Kierran tight. Kierran tried pushing me off him "I can't have you." He said to me and I just wouldn't listen. "If they find out I am with a mere human they will try and kill us both." "Can I ask a few simpler questions?" I asked him hoping he'd agree he did just tell me everything. "Shoot." he said he wanted to be as truthful as possible. "How many siblings do you have?" I asked him. "It's just Cassara and I, me being a half breed and her being a full vampire father wasn't thrilled."
"Why is that?" I asked him gently touching his shoulder. Kierran shrugged me off. "It's because she's a female and a female can't take the throne, she can't rule over Maleficent, its the name we vampires call our kingdom." There was so much to take in about this mysterious boy. He had lived for 409 years and been tortured for most of it.
It was so hard to believe what he been through, 409 years of torture compared to my little pathetic human life span. I was still upset with him for lying but I couldn't blame him.
"So now what?" Said an intrigued Xavier. Waiting for Kierran's tale to continue. I'm just staring off into the distance not really knowing what to tell him, how to make him feel better.
"How'd you escape hell?" I asked him, he looked at me and smirked "Well about a month ago my sister was getting married, to Andrew Zímmerman. He was another higher up son of a royalty family. The council agreed to let me out to see my sister's wedding."
"Only you didn't go back did you?" I said knowing full well he made his daring escape. "I went to my sister's wedding and watched her get married to that asshole, it was torture to watch, and just being there with everyone staring at me for being gone for 150 years."
"Awkward..." Xavier said. "So I left a little bit before the wedding happened, I was not okay with being locked up for being a fucking mistake." I put my hand on his shoulder. He didn't push me away so I embraced him in a awkward hug.
"So now they want to kill our little Kierran here." Said a girl jumping down from the ceiling boards. "Where the bloody hell did you come from Nessa." Kierran said quite shocked at her appearance. "Sorry didn't mean to interrupt..." looking back and forth between Kierran and I.
"You're fine, this was nothing." Said Kierran. I tried not to let my emotions get the better of me. What he said replaying over and over in my head . "Nothing" "Nothing" and what Cassara had said "also he like's red heads with the fiery passion...sorry honey your not one of a kind."
Nessa looked at him sternly and glared saying "Okay Cassara escaped as you know, but I kind of didn't understand your request." Kierran bowed his head "Nessa it's not a request, we are friends its a favor." She smiled at him under her hood.
Her beautiful bow and arrow was hanging lightly over her back. Her face went red from anger. "You want me to befriend Cassara and kidnap her to get them to agree not to lock you up again, are you fucking psychotic, or better yet have you lost your damn marbles."
She was beautiful. Long brown curly hair that framed her face, and that came down to her waist with a cute green ancient looking outfit that had a small hood attached. She seemed to know Kierran for a while. I wonder how long they have actually known each other considering he said he didn't have any friends really.
"You know I can't go back to being locked in a basement for all eternity." Said Kierran pleading Nessa with his eyes. "You should be thankful I don't want to see your ass locked up for what you put my family through." What did he do? I have to remember to ask later.
"I couldn't help it Nessa, it's not my fault I was born this way." He said offering his best attempt at an apology. "My family has been shamed because of your ass but I'm still your friend because I care about you, in a brother sister way."
Thank god she wasn't his secret lover, I really don't know how much more of this I can actually take. "I'll befriend Cassara but when the court appeals I had nothing to do with this. Your name won't bring my family shame again." She said and stormed out of the room.
