The Other Side

Chapter 4

He stared at me for a moment not saying anything. The man almost looked like he didnt want to tell me who he was. I demanded that he tell me who he is; all these secrets are tearing me apart. My whole world has turrned upside down the the matter of a day. Again, he looked at me, his eyes intense.

" My name is Darius. That is all I want to say for now."

" No, you tell me everything now. I refuse to let u hide things from me."

" Your just going to have to wait. I can not tell you now."

" Why the hell not!" Darius shook his head and turned towards the window.

" Pack your things Sabrina. We are going on a trip."

"Oh no! I am not going anywhere with you!"

" I am not giving you a choice! You are in danger here!" Darius turned to grab my arm. Just then a man came through my door with my mother; she was unconcious. I asked if she was ok, and the man said yes, she would remember the attack. A few more men came into my home, and I was told they were going to clean my apartment.  Darius looked at me and asked if I was going the easy way or the hard way. There is no need for any more conflict right now; I just can not handle it.

I go upstairs to my room to pack; I shove my box in the bottom of my bag and cover it with my clothes. Darius seems like he is helping me, but I dont know if I can trust him.  Thowing my key arround my kneck, I head back down stairs. Amazingly it looked like nothing ever happened. My mom was laying in the couch and Darius was leaning against the wall.

"Ready to go Princess?" Darius says laughing. I nod and we head out the door. In my drive way is a black Fire Bird. Seriously? Who is this guy? He opens the passenger side door and I get in, and he gets in the drivers seat. We drive for 10 minutes in awkward silence. I take this time to really examine him. He was very muscular, his face sculpted, he hair perfectly gelled.  Darius noticed me looking at him and smirks. I quickly look away.

"Enjoying the view?" He laughs. I quickly change the subject.

"Where are we going?

"Home."

"Thats helpful. So I have some questions."

"Is it who am I?"

"Yes." 

"Fine you wanna know? I am a King." A what? Ok If I didnt think this was a prank before I am now convince. I laughed.

"No seriously."

"Seriously. I am a king."

"King of what? The green eyed people?"

"Haha, well yes, but these "green eyed people" are vampires."

"So your King of the Vampires?" Ok, I am going crazy. 

"Yea. Thats not even the best part."

"Whats the best part?" 

"My familys rival family. The Philious'. They are vampire hunters, you are a daughter of the King of Hunters. Making you a Princess, and a damn pretty one.Your father did kill mine though, but you had nothing to do with that so I dont hate you."

"Arn't you worried I will kill you if I am a hunter?"

" No. We are at a truths right now. And I say Vampire hunter, but not many use that term for your race anymore. Ya know, for the lack of hunting."  I am a princess? What is this crap! My family, my real family, royals? I turrned to Darius and asked him if my syblings were adopted as well. The look of anger took over his face.

" No! Stay away from them!"

"Why?"

"You sister is a damn wicked witch and your brother is just as evil. They are dangerous, and will do anything for power."

We drove the rest of they way in silence. I honestly fell asleep for most of the ride. I woke up in the middle if the drive, and he was playing my favorite CD, the "Wicked" soundtrack. I fell back asleep in the middle of it, and when I awoke again it was off.  We pulled in to a drive way and it was the longest driveway I have ever seen.  We eventully pulled up to a giantic house, more like a castle. He parks in frount.

" Talk to no one." He gets out of the car and comes and opens my door and helps me out . We walk into the building and in the grand enterence there are a lot of people, they are all talking with one another. A few run over to us and ask Darius where he has been and who I was. He saus he had been busy. He wraps his arm arround me and guides me up the stairs. He takes me down a long hall way  that leads to a large door with red banners on both sides. They have a dragon emblem on them.  We go trought the door and a man runs up to us. He is tall and lean. He wore glasses and had short blonde hair.

" Lord Dragomeir, there has been complications since you have been away."

"What kind of complications, Tyler?"

"Veltro has returned." Darius stopped walking.

"We will talk about this later." he said angerly.

"My Lord, who is this?"

"This is Sabrina. Sabrina this is my assistant Tyler; who is now leaving." Tyler surries off back through the door where we came trough. Darius and I walk down the hall way.

" Who is Veltro?"

" Dont worry about that. This is your room, please rest. Tomorrow will be a big day for you."
