"Linda" someone whispered. I backed away from the darkness that began filling the room. "K-Kullen?" My nine year old self whispered, tears forming in her eyes.
"Come here." He said showing himself a little more, assuring me that it was him. "But...I'm afraid of the dark...evil things are in there.." I said a little scared. Kullen chuckled softly "Linda, nothing will ever harm you..as long as your with me,remember?" He said extending his hand towards me. I began walking towards him reaching my hand to reach his, he took it and led me into the darkness, the black encircling me. I couldn't breathe, it was so dark, I was scared. "Don't worry, I'm here" I felt Kullen's breath on my ear. "Remeber?" He said sinking his teeth once more into my neck. Tears began spilling down my flushed cheeks. It hurt.....But he's my ..Prince..
I shot up in bed, my heart was hammering hard in my chest. I started shaking uncontrollaby, as tears started pouring down my face, as I remembered the cringing pain I felt as Kullen bit me....He was catching up to me, I could feel it....He was coming...My..Prince was coming..but not to rescue me like in the fairytales....it was to take Blake away from me....Someone precious..just like my parents....
"I had to"
Kulen's words echoed in my head...my whole body trembeled in anger.. I will not alow him to take him.....never again will he hurt me.......
