Vampire Desires

Chapter 2

The carriage went at light speed, which was really shocking since it was pulled by horses, or should I say Pegasus. The wormhole between the human world and the supernatural world felt incredibly strange, it also made me incredibly nauseous.

We landed in the Town Square, well actually, Kingdom Square. The kingdom felt like an old French town, it was so cute with its cobblestone paths. Apparently vampires never liked the transition into the technological stage which is why they stayed away from humans, other than for blood purposes, of course. Vampires apparently knew that automobiles and all that new type of transportation would lead to pollution, therefore they stayed away from any of it. I suppose that's why the skies are so bright and we are surrounded by nature and trees.

We got out if the carriage and Jake started talking to the Pegasus, what the hell?

"Thanks for the help girls, here's your money," he said as he pulled out the cash, and then before my eyes the Pegasus transformed into girls with feathered wings. somewhat angel like creatures. Jake could probably notice my shock and explained.

"The human version of 'Pegasus' is a bit twisted from the original,"

"Oh... ok... I thought for a second that angels and Pegasus were the same thing,"

"Nah, angels stay up at the castle," he pointed at the huge castle, quite beautiful actually,"They guard it from attacks," he continued, as we started walking to the university.

"I thought this was the world of the vampires, why are there Pegasus and angels here?"

"Because Jupiterra is the sanctuary for the other worlds, their worlds got destroyed in the war, therefore everyone had to move here, and we built the strongest army ever to battle against the Demons, and thankfully, we made it, but only by the truce between the King David of Plutellis, A.K.A: the demon realm, and Queen Annabella,"

"Why would they make a truce?"

"Because the war caused the death of the eldest princess, and it brought them both into a low place. It's sad really, we never see the queen anymore, I remember when I was younger the queen would always take strolls through the towns, now she never leaves the palace,"

"I wonder what she does in the palace all day," Ryan thought aloud.

"Legends say that she raises the youngest child, Princess Sarah-Fina, if she even exists, there's no proof," Jake reasoned. How did the queen have children if she wasn't married? Oh wait! She was married to King David, but then... Why did the war start?

"Uhhh... the war started after their divorce," Jake said.

"Oh crap! Did I say that out loud?"

"Yup!" Ryan and Jake said at the same time.

"Oh,"

"How did the war start, then?" Ryan asked.

"You'll eventually learn in history classes, ours specializes in it, at least that what my brothers say," he shrugged,"We're here,"

I looked up and saw the huge campus, surrounded by cherry blossom trees and brick roads, it was beautiful.

"Well, let's get you guys signed up!" Jake said, rubbing his hands together.

We took the tour and signed ourselves in, Ryan had the same dorm as Jake, and mine was across the hall.

I entered my dorm and found four different rooms, each with names in their door. One said Lilliana, the other said Crystal, the third said Ashley, and the last was mine, Angelina. I hate my full name for some reason, I know it's considered a pretty name, but I prefer Angel. I opened my door and stopped in my tracks, my room was huge! there were stairs leading to an upstairs area, and the downstairs had my bed and study table, it was decorated perfectly to my taste, and the upstairs was a frickin game room, it had a foosball table, a ping pong table, and little theater area with bean bags where you could also play games such a Wii and Xbox, vampires are awesome!

I unpacked everything and headed into the living room, there was a L shaped couch, black leather, and a flat screen on the wall, black tiled floor, it was incredibly modern and I just loved it. A little bit later I heard a crash from one if the rooms, I knocked on "Lilliana's" door and opened it, I found a plant on the ground, her room was huge and decorated with plants everywhere, I looked up and saw a girl with brown hair with a neon green streak tied up in pigtails that reached just past her shoulders, she wore white shorts, sneakers, and a green crop top. She looked at me with her bright green eyes and smiled brightly.

"Hi! I'm Lily!"

"Hey, I'm Angel, nice to meet you," I shook her hand, but she pulled me into a hug.

"I'm awfully sorry about the mess I was practicing my magic and I accidentally hit the pot, sorry if it startled you,"

"No it's fine," I giggled,"Let me help,"

"Thanks," she smiled. After we cleaned the pot fragments up, we sat in the living room.

"So what's your power?" she asked.

"I'm sorry, what do you mean?"

"You know, your power? Every supernatural being has a special connection to something, for example mine is water," she explained.

"I'm afraid I don't, hah," I sighed,"Not that I know of at least,"

"You just hit the vampire stage, huh?" she said,"Don't worry your powers will come soon," she smiled as ninja stars shot across the room, causing us to scream and quickly scramble behind the couch.

"Who the hell is in here?!" a girls voice yelled,"Unless you're Lilliana or Angelina, you better watch it! She is a black-belt!" Another voice yelled.

"Uhhh. whoever you are, yes this is Lilliana, and Angelina," Lily said and we both peeked our heads up from behind the couch. I looked to see a girl with warm brown eyes, her electric blue hair tied up into a messy bun, she was wearing sweats and a tank top, barefoot, and holding a ninja star ready to throw, but soon lowered it, and a girl with dark brown hair, and dark brown eyes, she had a dark purple streak in her hair, and was wearing ripped skinny jeans, and a sports bra.

"Oh..." The girl with the blue hair turned pink,"Sorry, I got scared," she rubbed the back of her neck,"Better safe than sorry, right?" she laughed awkwardly.

"It's fine," Lily and I said at the same time, making everyone laugh.

"Call me Angel," I said holding out my hand to her, an she took it.

"Crystal," she smiled. I looked down and saw a necklace on her, it looked awfully familiar, it was a mini glass cage and had little pieces of different minerals inside.

"And you could call me Ash," the brunette said. Her necklace was a vile with fur in it, her eyes glowed and I saw fangs, but not vampire fangs.

"I'm Lily," she smiled. I turned around and saw Lily's necklace was similar, it was a flat glass pendant, outlined with emeralds, and inside, water dropped like rain over and over. Then I realized, my necklace was like that as well, on a silver chain, there was a tiny heart shape, outlined by amethysts with a little fire that never went out. I used to think it was just light playing tricks on me, but now I think it might be real.

"What do the signs in the necklaces mean?" I asked.

"It shows your element, or your power," Crystal said.

"My power is, I'm a werewolf, well a hybrid, being a mix wolf and vampire is stressful," Ash laughed.

"So then what does my necklace mean?"

"Let me take a look," Lily said,"How did I not think if this," she muttered to herself,"Does the fire ever go out?" Lily asked.

"No, never,"

"Huh... That's crazy, only one source recorded in history describes this power," she furrowed her eyebrow,"Your power is the greatest power in the universe. It has only been seen in King Elijah, the Great Dragon, the first vampire, Angel,"

"Ok, what does that mean?"

"Your power is... the Eternal Flame,"
