Vampire Desires

Chapter 5

I'd been through the library multiple times, but this one time I found a strange book. It was huge and dusty. Which confused me since it was new to the vast collection. I dropped it on the table and searched for the title, but there was none. I opened it and began reading. I saw a picture of a woman. Her hair was white, her skin flawless and perfect, eyes were an ice cold blue. She was young, couldn't have been more than 23 years at the time of it, but then again, I'm surrounded by beings that never age... well.. I guess I don't age now either sooo...

I read the caption: Queen Annabella Love, 1998.

She was beautiful. Preserved in a state of perfection. I quickly took a picture of her and went on. The next picture was of the royal family. The caption read: The Love Family, with first-born daughter Angelina Love, 1998. She was so young... and she looked so much like her mother. I felt envy towards her, which is horrible, but she was lucky to have met her mother and grown up with her for her time. I was given up soon after birth, and now suddenly out of nowhere, she wants to meet me. She didn't even leave a name, how am I supposed to find her?

"Excuse me, are you by any chance Ms. Heart?" A woman came up to me.

"Yes, I am..."

"The Queen would like to see you,"

"The Queen? umm.. ok,"

She lead me into a hidden elevator and from there transported us into, what I assumed to be the castle.

"She will be with you shortly," the woman said.

"Okay, thank you," I smiled.

Minutes later, the exact woman from the book walked in. She didn't look a day old. She infact looked almost exactly the same, the only differences being her hair style and clothes.

"Hello Angelina,"

"Hello your highness," I curtsy.

"There's no need for that dear," she chuckled," Do you know who I am?"

"Uhh... the Queen?"

"Other than that," she smiles.

"No, I'm sorry, should I?"

"I'm your mother," she sighed.

"W-what?!"

"You heard me, Angel," she sighed," Keira and I sent you and Connor to live with Mia to save you from the war,"

"Who's Connor?"

"Oh yes I forgot! Mia changed his name to Ryan," she said.

"So his name is actually Connor?"

"Yes, would you like to see him?"

"Yes please,"

"Alright, he'll be here later on to help his mother out,"

"Okay,"

"I would like to get to know you, Angel, and I would love it if you would ask me questions as well,"

"Uhhh... why did you send me away?"

"Because I needs to protect you from the war. You were so young and I wanted you to be able to survive it, and lead a happy life,"

"Wanted me to survive it? I suffered for years in that abusive orphanage! When I finally got the chance to stay with Ry-Connor after Mia died, that was heaven for me, and now I find out my mother is the Queen and I could've been leading an amazing life as a princess? How would my life have been happy, I was never wanted by anyone," I was on the verge of tears. But I had to be strong.

"Dear, please understand... Being a royal isn't all it's added up to be. I wanted you to be able to have a life where you did it all by yourself, not sit it bed all day waiting for people to attend to your needs, and you've grown up that way I'm proud to see. Now that you're here of course, you're going to have to take the responsibility of our Princess. The coronation and announcement of the 'Return of the Lost Princess' will take place in two weeks. You may invite your friends and such," she went a bit cold after that... like her emotions shut off, but I couldn't blame her. Seeing your daughter after years and her being rude to you? I wouldn't have been so calm,"Connor you may come in," she yelled as she walked out of the huge room leaving me alone.

The same boy from class walked in. The one who looked exactly like Ryan, but had darker hair, tattoos, and a lip piercing. I was confused as hell.

"Ryan?" I asked.

"Don't call me that. My name is Connor," he glared. I had never seen that dark side of him before.

"What happened to you?"

"Nothing happened to me, I've always been like this. Why? Let me guess, you thought I was different?" he snapped.

"N-no... I just..." I was at a loss for words. It wasn't my day. Finding out you could've had an amazing life, and then your best friend being horrible. It hurt a lot.

"Well, deal with it. This is me,"

"Why can't today go my way? For once! Why is it that the one person I thought I could come to for anything is hurting me!" I yelled. Tears streaming down my cheeks. I looked into his eyes and saw them soften.

"I'm sorry, Angel," he hugged me," My power is telepathy, and I... I have a double personality..."

"What?"

"I won't be able to come back to this state eventually. I need you to soften up Connor for me. There's thing you don't know that I do. Just listen, okay?"

"Okay," I gave him a tight hug, and looked up, but he was gone... the dark had taken over again, and before I knew it I was thrown to the ground.
