The Royal Vampire Who Went Against Tradition

Chapter 2

When I walked in the front door of my house, my parents were home for lunch I guess as they were in the kitchen. I walked passed them, grabbed a blood bag from the fridge then went to walk to my room when they spoke to me.

"What are you doing home Sage? You should be at school", I stopped and took a breath.

"I can't go back today, and I don't know about tomorrow just yet", my mum looked at me with a confused look and realized why I was home and holding a blood bag.

"Just head up to your room for now", I nodded and headed to my room. And that's how it was for the next couple of days.

I took the extra day off school after the day I attempted to attack that boy, and it went kinda slow compared to a normal school day. My parents didn't tell me off or anything like that because they know how I get when I haven't any blood. I wonder what that boy did about the other day... I wonder if he went to the principal or not, I don't see why he wouldn't. He could've died if I had bit him even if I didn't want to hurt him, I just can't control myself when I'm drinking directly from a warm human body, but a blood bag is different as that is like on serving for me so I'm allowed to drink it all without worrying about hurting someone.

The day came when I was going to go back to school. I got ready like normal and today I had some blood with breakfast, and I have a drink bottle that isn't see through with some blood in it too so I'll be fine for the day. I started heading to school like I always did, and the thing that kept going through my head was if today was going to be my last day at that school.

I got to school and nothing happened, the bell rang for first class and nothing happened. It got to lunch time and still nothing had happened, I was walking out of the classroom with my bag and was going to head down to get something from the canteen just so I was sure I'd be alright for the rest of the day when someone came up to me. I turned to look at the person to see a familiar face I had seen before.

"Hey, where have you been for the past day and a half?!", it was the boy that I almost attacked the other day, was he concerned? Why would he be, I'm a monster that could've almost killed him. Doesn't he know that?!

"Why would you care?" I start moving further away from where we were standing as people were starting to stare at us. People have kind of gotten the idea that I'm not one that talks to people very often, and I mean like never unless it's the teacher or my one friend that I have at this school, he's also a vampire from the 2nd ranked royal family. His name is Tobias from the Whitethorn family and we've known each other for quite a few years now and I'm sure we'll be friends for quite a few years to come. He can get quite popular with the girls.

I got outside the building and started to head somewhere else where no one was going to be. We got somewhere where there wasn't anyone when he replied to me.

"You ask why I care?! Just accept the fact that I do alright, has no one showed an interest in caring for you before or something?!", the memories flooded my mind.

"Yes and they lost their lives because of it. That's why you shouldn't get close to me and go to the principal about the other day to get me expelled from here so you don't have to worry about joining the other people that cared for me in the past. That's a point, why haven't you gone to the principal about the other day?", he stopped for a moment when the words came out of my mouth.

"Because I don't want you to leave... Ok? Happy now? I didn't tell the principal because I love you. But I'm sure you don't feel the same towards me. Have a nice lunch.", then he walked away.

I was left standing there, my face bright red, he likes me?! Wait loves me?! Umm I have no idea what to do...

One week later

I haven't seen that boy for the last week since he told me that he loved me, and for some weird reason I kinda miss him but I don't know why, I've never felt like this towards anyone before and it's a little scary.

The bell rang indicating it was lunch time so I made my way out of the class and walking down the corridor when some guy pushed me against a wall out of the way of other people, we were right beside a door to an empty classroom. The guy that has me kinda pinned to the wall is someone not many people mess with.

"Hey you're Sage right? The girl who people are saying is getting sexier day by day. I can see what they mean, your eyes are an amazing colour. This is also the first time I've seen you in anything other than a pair of pants and a hoodie, this outfit however is sexier than them...", while he kept trying to win me over with his stupid words all I could hear was his heartbeat and the flow of his blood passing through his throat, I hadn't had any blood this morning so I'm a bit on edge. And even though I know I have my drink bottle full of blood, it wouldn't stop me from ripping out this guy's throat just for the hell of it .The door beside me opened up and someone grabbed my arm and pulled me into the empty room, and I could hear another heart beating and another person's blood flow, they slammed the door closed behind them and I couldn't help myself but sink my fangs into their throat and let the warm blood slide down my throat and it tasted amazing. Whoever's throat I was drinking from started to vibrate.

"Sage... Sage stop before you regret it", I've heard that voice... I could slowly feel him slipping away and I instantly pull away and see that boy's face, this is the first time in a week that I have seen him and this is the most horrible way of seeing him again... he looked pale now and it was all my fault.

I bite my wrist and put it to his mouth and made him drink some of my blood in return to heal him of the fresh bite wound on his neck, he tried to refuse me but I made him.

"Please just drink some, you need to heal otherwise people will know, and all the effort you put into no one finding out that I almost attacked you the other week would be for nothing", he stopped resisting and started to drink my blood, I looked at the bite on his neck to see it healing and disappearing, now our only problem was to clean up any blood.

"Sorry I didn't mean to actually bite you but my body just moved on its own. Because I did bite you I'm going to say I owe you one, whatever you need me to do, I'll do it"

"The only thing I want is you to be my friend, and maybe for you to help me catch up on all the work I need to get done if you don't mind" he chuckled a bit.

"Umm I don't know your name but you know mine"

"My name is Nathan Mikaelson, and I heard the guy outside the room say your name, but I knew your name before then too. I mean it's weird to love someone without knowing their name in my opinion", he smiled and then we headed toward Nathan's little work pile.
