The Other Side

Chapter 5

No way was any of this real. I kept thinking i was going to wake up. Here I am in this giant mansion with a bunch of vampires in it. Not only that, but I am a freaking princess. Now I have always dreamed of being a princess, but what girl doesnt. To have it be fact, it's a whole different story. There was no way I could sleep with so much weighing on my mind. I reached over and grabed my phone. I need to talk to someone normal. I tried to send a text to Emily and Amanda; it did not go through. Where the hell am I where they don't get service?

There was a knock on my door. I shot up in my bed.

"Who is it?"

"Tyler."

"Come in" Tyler comes in with a few bags of luggage. They were pink with gold detailing.

"This is from Lord Dragomeir. He requests that you be ready in an hour."

" Ready? Ready for what?"

"That is his business, not mine" With that he left, and I began to unpack. They were all brand new, name brands. Prada, Micheal Kors, Chanel, Docle & Gabbana, Alexander McQueen. Everything a fashionista like me could dream of.  It was hard to decide what to wear; I finally picked a strapless dress, the bodice was gold and sparkly and the bottom was white. I paired it with a pair of white heels, and I curled my hair.

After I was finshed getting ready there was another knock on the door.

"Miss, it is time to go." I walked out of my room and Tyler's jaw dropped when he saw me.

" His Majesty has not brought any one here in a long, long time. What are you?"

" I... I dont know"

"What do you mean you dont know?  You should have been trained on your abilities since birth! Everyone knows!" Darius walked up behind Tyler, his face full of rage.

"Tyler, do you not have enough to? Get it to." Tyler surried off down the long high way. 

"Sabrina, you look beautiful."

"Thank you, for everything."

"I take it you liked my gift?"

" Liked?! I loved! Its my dream closet!"

" Good, I want nothing more than your happiness." Darius smiled and wraped his arm around me and guided me down the hall. He said he is taking me on a tour, It is time to learn about their world. Darius took me back to the main enterence of the building and we went down the center hall way. Along the walls banners were hung. The red one from earlier, a green one with wings, a blue one with a bow and arrow, and a black one with a skull. Many of the black ones were old, dusty, torn, some even burned. The banners were always in that order. Red, Green, Blue, Black. It all became a blurr after a while. The hall way opened up to a huge libray. 

"Welcome to nutreal territory." Darius went to the book shelf on the back wall and grabbed a few giant books, then we sat together at a small table. All eyes were on us. It made me feel very uncomfortable. Darius took my hand and told me to ignore them.  He opens one of the books and begins to flip through the pages.

"First you need to know about the Council races. Their are four. First we have the Vampires.We are the leading body of council. What I say goes. We are represnted by red and dragons. Next we have the Farries, the support. They come in all verites, and are a central hub of knowlege. They get along with everyone. Farries are repreented by green and wings. Then we have the hunters. They are the muscle, the justice. They keep everyone in line. They are represented by blue and bows and arrows."

Darius looks around and leans in towards me. There is a shift in his voice. 

"Then there are what we call Borie. They are monsters. They are very similar to vampires in make up, but thats where the similarities end. They have no control; they will kill in an instant with no remorse. They have been banned from all council buildings. They are represented by blackand skulls. They have been in hiding for years, their leader has just resurfaced. I worry about the worlds saftey." Darius sighed and asked if I had any questions. I asked him what Council is. He tells me that is a place where all races go, they express their thoughts and concerns, simillar to parliment.

He tells me Council was started by our parents. Dimitri, Vampire, Alexander,Hunter, Miranda, Farrie, and Chyanne, Borie. Before the agreement between them there was war. The four of them grew tired, began making families and decided to end the war. The peace didnt last long. People got greedy, many could not keep their promises. Your father was ridden with envy, Chyanne thrusted to wickedness.

"It wasn't until I and Veltro rose to replace our parrents that we could keep the peace and order."

"Veltro?"

"He used to be my best friend. We were cousins acutully. The man he was is long gone."

"What happened to him?"

"He fed into his mothers lies, he too turned evil."

"He's Borie?"

"Yes. Look, I rather not talk about it, I miss the man he was."

I nodded. He then took me on a tour of council. He took me to the doors of each wing. He said other races were not allowed in unless  formally invited to enter. It is a way they keep peace and trust. The last wing we visited was the old Borie wing. The door looked like knives had been scrapped into it; the banners were ripped off the walls and were now scraps on the floor.

"A lot happened here. I come here every day to remind my self what happens when maddness, power and rage take over. It keeps me humble. I try to be a fair king. We need not another war."
