My bags sat by the door. Sadly only one suitcase and a duffel bag lay there. His gaze held me so strongly i was afraid to move. I was paralyzed. I had these chills or goosebumps going up and down my spine, causing me to shake.
"Hello, Whisper. I am Destan. Your fiance." He said in a milky warm voice. He walked closer to me. At that movement, i backed one step back. When i did, he stopped again.
"I can imagine how hard this is for you to accept. Your future husband is a vampire, and most of your family killed by vampires. I can swear to you this one thing: I will not harm you, cause you pain, or do something to you that you do not want to be done. I will not repeat my self to you. This will be the only time i will say these words, but you can trust me." He said once again.
I was in shock. My mouth still hung open from when he stood up to 'father'.He knew everything. I'm not very sure at this moment if that is okay, or if i should be scared that i have no secrets that he doesn't already know. The council too. Don't they have confidentiality or something? i mean come on!
i seemed as if the room was spinning. i felt dizzy, nauseous, and very light headed. Then, as if he seen it coming, i fainted. I fucking fainted! I can't believe this! he caught me, and was probably thinking i did it because of his devilish looks. He was very good looking, and though i knew i wasn't conscious i was aware of all the words and movements around me. It was as if though i was in a distant dream, that i was dreaming all of it. I wish it wasn't. It finally faded from a dream, and darkness consumed me. all i knew was: I was in the arms of a vampire.
*********
I woke up in the softest bed in my life. i was wrapped in golden sheets made of silk. the pillows felt like a could. i didn't want to move, i was enjoying this. I looked around the room, and everything was in gold or silver. Two of my favorite colors, especially put together.
When i looked to my left, i seen a door that was half way open seen a giant bathroom. i instantly tried to throw my legs over the bed and run to a hot shower, but when i did i felt something pulling my feet in place. I removed the thick blankets off my my body. My feet were chained to the bed.
What? I thought. Is he serious right now? He does realize i have no idea where i am. GOD!
"Yes he knows that. He just doesn't want you running off, and i was the one that suggested it." a Sweet woman's voice explained. I looked toward the door, and the most beautiful woman i have ever seen was standing there. it wasn't until she turned to her side to walk to me, that i realized she was pregnant, and a vampire.
"I'm Aveline. Destan's sister. You're right i am pregnant and i am a vampire. It is a gift that only i posess. I am the only one known for my breeding abilities. however, i am very scared. In two weeks this will be the first vampire child, and we are not sure how it will act. The council may have to step in. Oh, look at me! i am so sorry! i should not have you worrying about my problems. I came to untie you so you can get as ready and join us for lunch." she said in a big rush. i'm not even sure she took a breath.
"Oh, darling. i don't have the need for breath." she explain. Is she seriously reading my mind?
"Yes. i posses many gifts." she said again.
"Can i get a shower now? My hair is a mess." i asked. I was very creeped out by this girl. she reminded me of a book my grandma used to read to me when i was a child. it was about a vampire boy that fell in love with a human girl, and he had the power to read minds. except for her, and they lived in a place where it always rained, but i can't remember the name.
"Sure you can honey. right through there. You won't run away will you? I know he would never admit it, but i can tell destan has a thing for your beauty. I can see it too. You will make a lovely vampire." she said. my heart seemed to stop and my eyes grew big with fear.
"Oh, don't worry it doesn't hurt as the storied are told. We may be damned, but we are gentle. that's how e catch our prey." she said. I was shaking now. I have to be turned into a vampire. The very same race that killed my family. this just keeps getting better and better.
She untied my legs. I'm guessing she heard what i was thinking. She had this look on her face. Remourse, maybe? or even sorrow? It was mixed with emotions, i culdn't detect every single one. Which is weird because im usually good at reading people.
When i was loose i ran straight for the bathroom. not only did i need a shower, but i had to pee really bad. Once i was done with that i seen a big juguzie tub. i started the hot water and began to strip my clothes off. i seen an outfit laying on the back of a make up chair. the was a note on it
For you.
-D
I sat the note down and got in the bath. I did all of my necessities and got out. i wrapped a towel on my hair and got dressed. i applied a little bit of make up that was already there. then, i brushed out my hair and my teeth and walked out. Destan was sitting on the bed, waiting on me.
"Your father did tell the truth about one thing: You are pretty... for a human." he said i didn't want to look him in the eye because i didn't want to make him feel like i was interested because i wasn't.
"Why are you okay with marrying a human? don;t you want someone from your own race?" i asked. it was the first time i had spoken a word to him. until now, i realized: he intimidates me. alot.
"because you can easiloy be changed into my 'race'. plus your family history and genetics that the council had of you, will make you an extordinary vampire. not to mention, very powerful." He explained.
"So, that's why you're okay with it? Because of my genes?" i clarified.
"I belive i told you solmething at your house," he replied.
I gave him a blank stare. I had no idea what he was talking about.
"Lets go get you something to eat and put you at ease. I think given the chance we could at least come to a friendship someday." he said.
i noded, not really in agreement, but reasurance that i understood what he was hopping for. he wanted me to like him just like i didn't want him to be a vampire.
He lead me down the stairs and into a long hallway full of doors. We went down the hallway to the very last door that faced us. when we went inside there was a dining room, and another door. we entered the kitchen and destan offered me a seat. he started cooking grilled cheese and he gave me a pop.Then, we heard shouting coming from another room nearby.
"Don't worry about it. it's just my parents. My mom wants to meet you, but my dad is telling her to let us be. you know, so we can get to know each other a little better before the wedding." Destan said.
"When is it?" I asked.
"Whenever you want."He replied.
I gave him this 'why' look, and he responded to it.
"Look Whisper, I may not be the man of your dreams, but it is still your day. you're only getting married once. The only thing that you don't have a choice in is being changed, but you can any type of wedding you can dream of. i promise. That is something i will not take from you. That and things that you are passionate about. speaking of which, do you have any hobbies?" he asked as he was putting on the second grilled cheese.
"Yes, i love to write poetry, and short stories. I want to write a novel, but i can't get a story line long enough for one." I said. Then, i began thinking about all the letters, pages, and notebooks i left at my hiding spot. I really wished i could have gotten them before i left, but i couldn't be in France for all i know.
Destan seen the look on my face, and he handed me my food and just walked out. I ate in silence.
