ENJOY!

I took deep breathes, in and out, but somehow that still did not calm me down at all. When I felt that I could talk like a normal person, I turned to Vernard. I had many questions to ask him.
"Go ahead" He said nodding.
I looked at him confused but then remembered that we could read each other’s minds.
“So long to sweet privacy" I thought.
"OK so there is a world of vampires?" I asked.
"Yes, there is but it looks a lot like this world. We have supermarkets, malls, schools, everything like that." He responded.
I nodded paying close attention to what he was saying.
"Sure, but instead of having food you have blood? Like chicken to us would be blood to you?" I asked feeling kind of stupid. Vernard shook his head while smirking.
"No, vampires can eat human food as well, we just have to drink some amount of blood so that it is in our system and we don't starve." He said.
I nodded understanding. But then a question struck my head. Wouldn't the Queen and King want to meet me? I was so not good with talking to adults, and what if they asked about my family? How would they react when they knew what kind of "family" I had?
" Don't worry I will be right there with you, nothing is going to happen to you, besides, my mom has been trying to find me a soul mate for hundreds of years!" Vernard said trying to calm me down.
"Wait, just how old are you?" I asked smirking.
He scratched the back of his head thinking. I knew he must at least be like four hundred years old or something.
"I'm nine hundred and forty two years old." He finally answered.
My jaw dropped. He was that old?! I would have never thought- oh yeah he is a vampire so he only looks like twenty. He just nodded.
"All of my brothers except me and our youngest brother who is only about two hundred already have soul mates." He said
"So vampires can have babies?" I asked curious.
He nodded and then smirked. "Yes they could and we are going to have more than nine kids." He said happily. I blushed and my face twisted in imaginary pain.
"Are you crazy?! That could kill me, and wow, you are already talking about babies?!” I practically yelled.
He shook his head.
"No, I'm not crazy, and you won't die either. When vampires have babies it is not as painful as when humans have them at all. It is even faster than human deliveries." He said, as if he was discussing the weather.
"Though the question I have to ask you that is most important is, are you willing to become a vampire, go to my world, marry me, and become my princess?" He asked.
This question really took me off guard. I mean it's not every day you get asked to become a vampire, much less to become a vampire princess.
Though I knew what my answer was.
“No..." I said looking in his beautiful eyes.
Vernard stared at me for what seemed to be hours, but were only a few seconds. Then finally, he spoke.
"No? So you don't want to come with me?” He asked in a low voice, full of pain.
"No I do not want to go with you. Seriously, you are asking me to leave all of my friends behind. I barley know you and I'm sorry but I can't, I just can't." I said looking at him. I felt a strong connection, but I was not willing to risk everything.
In life there are no guarantees, one day you’re here, and your gone the next.
He nodded not looking at me in the eyes.
"I understand. I will not force you to do anything you do not want to do." he said.
Then, he came close to me and gave me a soft kiss on my cheek.
"I will always love you" He whispered. Then, like nothing I was all alone in the room.
I ran out. I suddenly didn't care about anything. I just knew that I needed to go to him and tell him
I did want to go with him. I regretted it all. Every word I said. All of my life, I was waiting for someone, anyone to come save me from my nightmare.
He had finally come and I just let him go. My heart broke as I ran through the entire house and found no one, no Damon, no Vernard. I was all alone in the house. Falling to floor, I burst out in tears.
That was the last time I saw Vernard Caspian Blood.
================
2 years later
+++++++++++++++++
Some say that once something big happens to you, it changes you forever and if you let it go, you will forever regret it. They forgot to tell me that was all true.
A lot has happened since that day at Vernard's house. I could not communicate through thought and I had no idea why. I cried for days and didn't go to school for a long time. Though my cousin Rachel, whom I was really close to came and found me in that big house and took me in with her boyfriend to her house.
Her boyfriend is really cool and nice though I get sad sometimes because he really looks a lot like Vernard. But, whenever I think about that I get it out of my mind. There is no way they could be related. I know I will never see him again and that is what breaks my heart the most.
Even now, two years later I wait and see if he is just magically going to show up. Even though I know that won't happen I still won't give up.
I just have a strong feeling that somehow someday, he is coming back. I just don't know when.
