The Vampire Princess and the Werewolf Prince (#1 of the Royalty Bites series)

Chapter One

  "I'm dying, I'm crying but outside I'm smiling.

You don't even know me, you don't ever recognize me.

Why does the world have to be so cruel to me?

Living in a world that wasn't made for me.

Trying to be the best that I can be.

Finding what's meant to be.

Can't you see the thousand tears that I'm crying?

The heartache that I sigh?

I'm tired of trying, tired of fighting.

Was our love a lie?

Overwhelming anxiety.

Was this a game?

A game that you played.

You ripped my heart out

Made my soul die out

Nothing left but to cry now.

Why is this happening?

In the world that I live in

This everlasting scheme is only just beginning.

A head full of anger held in my chest.

Why did it have to end?

Now I wonder why?

Was it because of me?

The answers are found in darkness where light used to be."

  The class is silent as I look up and see signs of shock on their faces. I look at the teacher and he smiles then motions for me to go sit down and I do so adjusting my snowflake necklace that gave me the inspiration for the poem I just read to the class. Everyone keeps watching me shocked that the silent sweet girl they knew me for came up with that and I fidget. I tuck my long raven black hair behind my ear lowering my amber eyes to the desk and my poem as the teacher clears his throat.

  "Now that is the type of poem that I am looking for. Not the pansy stuff that you all have been reading to us. I asked for something deep and meaningful, something that could move us to tears or laughter, and that is what Autumn gave us." He smiles at me and I blush lightly at the praise.

  After school is over I walk home alone even though I could have gotten a ride from several people. I like to be alone since my break up with Jack, I reach up and absentmindedly play with the snowflake necklace he had gotten me since I loved calling him Jack Frost, I think about his joker type attitude and smile sadly as I walk down my street. I stop at the end of my driveway and sigh as a memory of him and I laughing and rough housing pops into my head. I then walk into my house and shut the door leaning against it my amber eyes sad.

  "Hey sis!" my brother's voice calls from the other room.

  "Hey bro I'm home." I take my shoes off and go find him sitting in front of the t.v.

  "It's about time Autumn I'm hungry and I waited to go hunting just for you." He turns to me his silver eyes showing his hunger and I sigh.

  "Alright Angel just give me a minute to get changed ok?" I don't wait for his reply before I head upstairs.

  Angel and I live alone together since our parents got high off of a stoner's blood one night and went out into the sun. Us being vampires makes the sun extremely dangerous for us so as I'm sure you can guess they went up in flames and are now nothing but ashes in a container on our mantel. I sigh as I remember them, my beautiful kindhearted fair haired mother always there for me whenever I cried or needed a hug, my dark looking but really gentle father that always had a smile for me or a praise for my artwork or writing, so many memories with them float into my mind. I shake my head and go into my room and into my walk in closet and get changed from my school uniform into jeans and a tank-top. I then pull my hair into a pony tail and trudge downstairs to find Angel ready and waiting for me.
