The Vampire Prince

A Few Days

Chapter Two ~ A Few Days

I muffled a scream into the vampires cold hand. I pushed myself off of him "Get away from me" I manage to say backing up into the wall.

"You see I can't do that Miss Reman" The vampires calm voiced echoed through my ears. I can't breathe hearing the words "I can't do that". Oh god, this is a physco. He knows my last name, he won't leave me be. How'd he know where I lived?! Can't this vampire be normal and just suck my blood and be over with me.

"How do you know my name.." I started to cry giving the monster standing in my room a disgusted look. "I do research. In fact your registered in the auction house. I'll see you in a few days" his poker face formed into a grin.

I noticed his face for the first time. All vampires were beautiful, it made me jealous. So why did he want a human? This whole situation was filled with questions. Right now, the biggest thing on my mind, this gorgeous man is standing in my room.

"Get out!" I whined, frightened by the man. His words were invisible to my mind. Obviously it wasn't to his mind, he obeyed and left my room in a flash. My window hung open indicating he left that way.

I stood there, too scared to move. Afraid the vampire will come back. Then his words hit me, like a brick slamming in a wall. The seven words he said. I'll see you in a few days.

What was that suppose to mean? Is he going to bid for me? I needed to calm down and breathe. It was as if he stole my air, I couldn't breathe. He was going to bid for me.

I heard a knock at my door. "Honey, can I come in?" My mother said peering her head in. I shook my head yes, and she walked in, shutting the door softly behind her.

"Were you talking to someone? I thought I heard voices coming from your room" My mom cocked her head to the side looking around. "Nope, I was just blasting my music, sorry I'll keep it down.." I lied crossing my arms over my chest.

"Oh well that's not what I wanted to talk about. In a few days you know you have to.." Her voice trailed off wiping her eyes from the tears falling down. "Mom I'll be fine" I faked smile hating to see my mother cry. I had to do this, I had to be strong.

"Don't cry, please" I begged walking over and hugging her. I can already feel the pain I'm going to feel when I leave for the auction house. Everything seems to be in a few days. "I'm sorry they're doing this!" She sobbed, now she was really crying. I rubbed her back, poor mom.

"I have to" I stated knowing that this isn't right, but I need to do it. It's different from doing something bad to impress someone. I'm giving up my freedom to protect someone. I earned my freedom and it's being taken away.

After a long time of crying, my mom finally said goodnight and left me back alone. I laid in my bed and looked up at the ceiling. In a few days.

****

Oh god. Today is the day, no more freedom. Once I walk into that auction house I'm basically a prisoner. Thankfully that won't be for another five hours.

My mother and father woke me up today at eleven this morning. They wanted me to rest because when I'm a slave I might have to wake up really early. It made me upset though that they wasted hours that could've been spent.

Then, I walked in the living room and saw they're was a banner that read "We'll miss you", a cake that had a picture in frosting of the auction house, and cards were set up. Kinda like a birthday party, without the presents, because that would be pointless since I'm leaving.

It made me sick that they had cards and banners for those who were leaving to become a slave. I noticed Tilly was there and I felt relief flow through me. I couldn't leave without her goodbye.

I quickly took a shower, dried my hair, and put on a white sundress. I knew the auction house would make me look better later for the bidding. I walked downstairs and saw Tilly talking to my brothers, my mother wiping away her tears, and my father hugging her.

Tilly ran towards me and hugged me. She pulled away, staring intensely at me. "What are you doing?" I let out a small laugh. She shook her head "Trying to remember your face. Your so calm! How can you laugh on a day like this?!" Her eyes started to become glassy. She can't cry or I'll cry.

"I don't need to be sad, you have so much sadness for the both of us" I joked sadly hugging her again. "Promise when your fifty and no vampire wants you anymore, you come find me" she whispered, I could hear her voice shaking. I nodded "of course" and pulled away from the hug.

The music started and my brothers started to dance and so did Tilly. Everyone seemed to act happy but I could tell they were upset. An hour later Tilly walked over to me. We were leaning against the kitchen counter.

"This is like a messed up version of a going away party.." She shook her head and looked over to the cake "The cake was necessary?!" She laughed. "Blame the parents.." I mumbled. I walked over to one of the cards lined up. The covered read "So your going to an auction house.." In big bubble letters. Inside the card it read "Were going to miss you!!" In the same bubble letter font. At the bottom of the card in pen it wrote "Love Mom, Dad, Dean, Freddy, Rick".

"This is a card?! What has the world come to?" I threw the card at Tilly. She read it and looked up at me, we both laughed at the stupidity.

Hours passed, I bonded with my family and then said my goodbyes to them. My mom and dad told me it was time. As I walked out the house I waved to my brothers and Tilly. Walking down the pavement to my house I started to cry. This is the last time I'll be free.

I got in the car and watched the trees go by as we drove. It was hard, but I said goodbye to each one of those trees. We had an hour drive ahead so I just thought about my new life as a slave.

The words "We're here" made me vomit in my mouth. I nodded and looked at my parents. This is the last time I'll see them. I hugged both of them and kissed them on the cheek.

Opening the door and shutting it, I looked up at the huge auction house. I sighed and started walking up to it. I kept repeating the words "Goodbye freedom" in my head. I opened the wooden doors and walked in.

Goodbye freedom.

finally here. I can't wait for the next chapter but I'm a bit worried.
