Blood Tainted Rose

The Awakening

I sat there all night, holding Adrian. I don't know why but I feel a bond between us. It really pisses me off that his parents would do that. I promise, I will protect this fragile boy with my heart and soul.

"You're name is Ivy..?" Adrian spoke. He's alive.

"Cordelia Is my family name, but yes my name is Ivy.." I say shyly.

"I've been awake for a while now, Ivy. I can read your thoughts, and I will devote my enteral life to protect you, too.." He said looking up into my eyes.

"I also can read yours, It comes with being immortal." I smile at the thoughts on his mind.

"Hey! Don't that's private stuff!" He covers his face, letting his dark hair fall over his hands.

"If you wanted to kiss me that bad, you could've asked!" I giggle.

"I don't have to ask! You're my Fiancé!" He smiled and uncovered his face.

"I guess you don't." I smile as he gets up and sits beside me.

"Ivy, I'm thirsty.." He blushed and leaned towards me. I move my hair out of the way and look at him then he gently bit my skin and began to feed.

He stopped after two minutes and looks up at me.

"What is it?" I ask trying to not make my blushing obvious.

"What does it mean when you mark one as your own?" He asked.

"To imprint your fang marks into ones skin, It's a mark of love" I smile at him and wipe the blood of his face.

Before he could say anything two guards came into my room. "You're majesty, you need to be fitted for your gown. If you would, follow me." One said. I did as I was told.

I found myself looking into a full-length body mirror. My dress was beautiful. The details were unbelievable. It was a "ball gown" figure and had a "Sweet Heart" neckline. The upper body down to the waist has a blace lace over the white. This dress was perfect.

"It need to be puffy below my hips" I say to my dress maker.

"Yes mam!" she replied and was soon to work.

"Charles! Please go check on our guest, you touch him in any way and I turn you into ash." I demanded causing my dress maker to jump.

"Shall I get him a drink, your Majesty?" He asked before doing my bidding.

"Please?" I asked politely and smiled and with that Charles was gone.

"All done, your Majesty!" The lady fixing my dress said with a smile and I turned to the mirror.

"It's darling! I love it!" I said with awe.

"Thank you, your Majesty. Now  you please do get in your normal clothes and continue your day." She giggled and unzipped me as I got undressed and put my clothes back on.

"He's a lucky guy, your majesty" she said with yet another smile.

"Your Majesty!!!" Charles yelled running into the room.

"What is it Charles?" I ask out of curiosity.

"He has escaped, but the gaurds haven't seen him, so he is in the castle." He replied.

"That little.. Thank you Charles." I say and leave the room.

I've reached the darkest corridor, still no sight of that pain in the ass. Just as I was walking past a room someone pushed me up against a wall.

"Adrian?" I asked.

"It is I, my soon to be wife." He answered.

"I see you have become blood hungry, you've awakened." I look at him.

"Very hungry.." He said moving my hair away from my neck.

"You have to wait untill our wedding day, that is what we do instead of kiss!" I say pulling my hair back over my neck.

"Oh...I'm sorry, Ivy." He says and backs away.

"Adrian.." I whisper softly as he walks up to me.

Then he kisses me, softly, then with more emotion.

"Just remember, I want blood, nothing more. You're heart is no place for a monster like me, Ivy." He said walking into the darkness.

Adrian, my dear Adrian. You make me laugh, oh so much. You want to play such games, let's play.

I walked into my room and there was my dear Adrian, with a lifeless girl in his arms and his mouth on her neck.

"Throw her out." I say angrily.

"Why waste blood" He said with a smirk.

"Don't make me repeat myself, throw that human out." I look at him.

"Gaurds!" He yells.

"Yes, Sir Adrian?" William said opening the door.

"Discard of her." He said with not a bit of emotion in his voice as William took the poor girl and left.

"You said you were devoted to me, you fragile being!" I yell.

"Don't get heated up, I was hungry" he smirked and with that I walked over to him and moved his hair away from his neck.

"Why would you want a human when you have me?" I whispered in his ear and he shivered.

"I wasn't waiting" He smiled and with that I bit into his neck, letting the red liquid run freely down my throat and also down my chin.

"I thought you said to wait?" He barely made out in between breaths.

"I was, but you were too tempting. I couldn't help myself." I stop drinking and lick my mark and with that he left out a soft moan.

"That isn't fair, your majesty!" He smiled and pinned me up to the wall.

"How isn't it?" I teased.

"You get to drink my blood but I don't get to drink yours? you think about it Dollface" He said licking my neck and I shivered.

"You've changed" I look him in the eyes.

"Being this way gives me confidence" He looks at me and smiles a heart melting smile.

"So, does that mean you have enough guts to kiss me now?" I giggle.

"Does this answer it?" He says followed by a kiss, a rough kiss, not too sweet and not too boring, a perfect kiss. He then picks me up and wraps my legs around his waist.

"Yes, I think it just might" I smile against his lips.

"Ivy.. I know we are already getting married but, will you marry me?" He asked all of a sudden.

"Of course I will!" I smile and kiss him passionatly.

Adrian, I will protect you, my love. My mother will not take this love away...  My heart has never beat, not one day in my life.. you somehow made it work. I'm in love with this feeling and maybe even you.
