I had an idea for this one and here is the first chapter. My other story is still going on. I may continue this one, I don't know if it's a good one. If you want, tell me what you think .Sorry if I have some mistakes.

As a little girl, I dreamt of the ideal life. I imagined myself growing up to be a beautiful, independent woman, who can choose her own job. Maybe a doctor or a school teacher. I could see myself, going through life with confidence. I would be probably married to a kind, handsome guy, and we would have adorable kids. I wanted girls, which I would love with all my heart. Maybe we would have a dog or a cat. It was a nice dream indeed and I wished when I got older I could have had that. But fate was chosen different path for me, Daniela Summers, to be bought by a prince.

My story began when my parents died in a car accident when I was 10 years old. We were just going home from after the cinema, when one drunk driver hit us. I can't remember much from the accident- just me screaming, my mother turning back from the passenger's seat to tell me something and then blank. Complete darkness. The next thing I remember, was waking up in the hospital and learning that both of my parents were dead. I was the only one survived, with one broken arm , but I was alive. My father had died immediately , my mother –later in the hospital, they couldn't save her. I became an orphan at the age of 10, and I was completely alone. My grandparents from both sides were dead. The child services had sent me to a girl's boarding school for orphans like me. I remember entering the school with my suitcase and meeting the headmistress Mrs. Hunter, who had taken my hand and welcomed me to the boarding school. How I had wiped my tears when entering my new room and meeting my roommate, a funny and kind girl, named Lucy. How I had missed my room at my home and how hard it was to get used to this new life. How I had prayed that someone might adopt me and I would have a real home. But years passed and no one came, but other girls were lucky to be picked by, I hope, nice families. I was no longer the scary and shy girl that had entered this place. I wasn't the short, clumsy girl anymore. I got taller, even without high heels. My brown hair was shoulder length and a little curly. I met so many new friends- Lucy, Hayley and Maria. The four of us were inseparable, and we often found ourselves in troubles. By doing pranks to the mean girls, to some teachers, sneaking alcohol inside. We were often punished to clean the floor , water the plants , wash the dishes. But we were happy, carefree. We had made a pack between the four of us- when we reach 19 we would be free to leave this place, and we vowed to continue being friends. To find ourselves somewhere to live, to help each other in life, to be together. If I only knew that these talks between the four girls, holding hands, would be just that- talks. Because my fate was different.

I won't ever forget the day when I met prince Victor, the son of the king. Yes, in my world we had kings and princes. But they weren't human, they were something else- vampires. Yes, those were real and I lived in a world where they rule us. They have for centuries.

I remember how excited I was when I learn that the prince would visit our town and I was part of the program. Our headmistress had helped organize the event- the tables, the music, the entertainment. And I was part of this entertainment. Since I was a young girl, I could sing very well, or at least I have been told this. I was always ashamed to sing, not wanting to embarrass myself, but my friends had told me my voice was really awesome. And once the headmistress had heard me sing, and since that day she had encouraged me to do it more. She hired one piano teacher and with him I had learn how to play the piano, and practice my singing. And the headmistress had made me attend all sorts of singing competitions, and I was often applauded, won prizes. Sometimes I thought the headmistress was more kind with me when we were punished, because I could sing well.

I was so nervous to sing in front of the prince. I was trembling in my blue dress, microphone in my hand , as I waited to be announced as one of the town's talents, a girl with a possible future in the music industry. Although I knew that would never happen, I didn't have that much money. I loved to sing, to feel the music, the lyrics, but I knew I would never be a singer. I remember taking a deep breath before showing up on the stage and perform the song I had chosen for this night. My eyes had recognized the prince, Victor, who was sitting on the nearest table. He was really very attractive, as Hayley had said. Black short hair and brown eyes. Eyes that were staring at me. It was hard to look away, but I had managed to. I had seen vampires before, but I was never bitten by one. Although I wondered what the feelings must be. Would it hurt as Lucy had explained when when she showed her bite mark to me? Or would it be good, as Maria had said? I had blushed, when the prince was still looking at me, even after I had finished singing and everyone clapped. Victor was just staring at me and I could feel him watching my every move as I had sat on our table, much more further than his. And I nearly had fainted when the prince had asked me on a dance that night. His voice was so soft, and he was a wonderful dancer. He had asked for my name, and smiled as I told it. How I must have blushed when he had led me to my table and kissed my hand, thanking me again for the dance and my amazing voice. How me and the girls had been giggling all night, daydreaming. How Maria had joked I should have kissed the prince. I had only laughed. I was 19 years old, and I was going to leave this place for good. Only three months and I would build my own life.

But the enormous bouquets started to arrive, also presents from the prince. The girls were more excited than me when I got the next red rose. I was flattered that Victor, our prince, was trying to make an impression on me. But I wasn't so romantic as my friends. I would never be like Cinderella. Our prince had many lovers and he wanted me to be the next one. And I had told him that when he had come once and gave me a new laptop. I looked Victor in the face and told him , that this was very sweet, but I wasn't ready for this. My friends thought I was mad for saying this and denying the prince , but I couldn't take back my words. Victor was silent then, and turned back. I was waiting for some kind of a punishment from him, but nothing came. The headmistress told me I was a stupid girl, my whole life would have been arranged if I had given the prince a chance. That I must be crazy. Maybe I was, but I didn't want someone to buy my love and to be just another woman in someone's bed. Some girls were dying to be in my place, as I was often reminded.

Victor came one day and bought me. The headmistress couldn't have denied him, as she had told me later. He had offered a very large amount of money to her, she was my legal guardian until I had the right to leave the school, she had rights over me. And I was sold . I cried like the first time I had entered the boarding school, only now I was leaving it. Maria, Lucy and Hayley had ran after the car and I had promised them to keep in touch. But I had failed them.

I entered Victor's mansion with only my suitcase and puffy from the tears eyes. What he did was wrong and I began to hate him. I was cold with him, I barely smiled. I wanted so badly to see my friends, to hug them. To do what I wanted to. Not to wear the clothes the prince had bought for me, or to go somewhere with a permission. To share a home with a complete stranger.

Victor had been the first man I had slept with, and I liked it, as much as I hated to admit. He was gentle, but my heart was cold. I was crying a lot, missing my friends, freedom.

'' You surrender to me in the bed, you let me drink from you, but your heart and soul are closed for me. Let me in, Daniela.''- Victor said once when he gave me a very beautiful golden bracelet. But I hated him for locking me away like this. I felt like a bird in a golden cage. Never free. I ate whatever the prince said, I read whatever he wanted, I wore whatever he approved. I had sang for him when he wished for it. I was dying inside.

Then Victor changed, hurt by my coldness. He began to yell at me, to leave me without food for a day or two, to tear my clothes or throw them in the trash. He had bitten me not so gently as before, and it hurt. And the prince had started to bring women in the mansion and I had to endure their parties and love making. I had lived with Victor for almost four mouths and I had planned to escape. I met one young man, Sebastian, one of the servants, and we got close. The guy fancied me and I was beginning to fall for him too. He had kind blue eyes and a sweet smile. But Victor found out and beat him to death, and drank his blood. I had decided that my escape has to be soon.

I was aware if I got caught, I would be dead. But I didn't care. One night Victor had told me to dine with him in his room and that was my chance. I put some sleeping pills in his wine. The servants pitied me and one of them gave me the pills, because I had trouble sleeping. I had to pretend to enjoy the prince's company, and wait for the effect. My heart jumped as Victor fell asleep and collapsed on the floor. I made sure he was really sleeping and ran to my room. I had prepared my luggage, only one rucksack filled with some clothes and money I had hidden, my I.D. I took some of the jewelries, intending to sell them if I needed money.

My escape was a blur. I remember taking the keys for the car from Victor's room, and with one knife I had ran down the stairs. I had stabbed one guard in the back, pierced another's heart, before he could attack me. I had never killed someone before, but I had to. I wiped the blood with one napkin and unlocked the car. My heart was going to burst from my chest. It was pounding so loud, when I was driving away from the mansion. I was expecting to be caught any minute.

I left the car somewhere in the town and ran to the bus station. I bought a ticket for the bus that was soon departing . My hair was tied on a ponytail, and I had a baseball hat on. My jeans were old ones, also the leather jacket looked normal. Nothing too attention attracting . I got in the bus and the whole time I prayed. If I was caught , I would be dead. But I didn't care. I got from the bus way before my stop- the last one, to where I had bought the ticket. I got off maybe on the fourth stop and took another bus and I ended in one small town. I hadn't slept the whole night, I was hungry, scared. I was barely holding up.

I remember walking around the new, foreign town and wondering what to do now. I had still money in me, but what now? I had done something completely stupid, bold and it would get me killed. But there was no turning back. I fainted.

I woke up and saw one woman, looking at me. She was older than me, and her eyes reminded me of my mother's - the same green ones. I began crying when I thought of my family.

'' Poor thing.''- She hugged me. I saw more women, some my age, others older.-'' What is your name?''- I wondered what to say. Victor must be looking for me, and I decided to tell a fake name.

'' Nicole.''- I had always liked that name, one of my grandmothers was called that. -'' Where am I?''- I paled and tried to get out from the bed. The women around me were waitresses in what now was called '' a blood bar.'' Basically that was a bar like any other, but most of the clients were vampires and they had often fed from the girls that worked there or brought their dates here. There were rooms upstairs specially made for the privacy of the love couples- vampires or mortals. Lucy had told me, she had been to a place like this. The woman that had found me and brought me to her home- Sally, lived near the bar, and the other six girls were also working there. The blood bars were a place where a mortal could get drunk, be bitten by a vampire for money or for free. Vampires visited such places for the free blood, and a chance to have fun with some of the girls that worked there, for money of course. Lucy had told me about what wild parties took place in these bars. I had vowed never to enter such a place.

'' You have been with a vampire. And a wealthy one.''- One of the girls, Maya, a tall ginger, stated when she saw the bite marks on my neck, forearms and the golden bracelet on my wrist. These girls weren't stupid, they figured out I had ran away from someone. Plus I had my luggage, and money. I had prayed them with tears in my eyes not to inform the police, to help me. Because I didn't want to return to Victor. I begged them to help me. And Sally had agreed, she offered to share her home with me. We would negotiate the rent later, after I find a job. Maya offered me a place in the blood bar, as a waitress. I was going to deny with all my heart, but I needed money. And so I said yes. One of the women gave me a blond wig and a pair of blue contact lenses to hide my natural brown eyes so I could change my look a bit. I knew that won't help me for long, but it was something.

I met with the bar's owner, Frank , and he gave me a chance. And so I had begun my first job. I quickly got used to the job, and I had managed to deal with flirty guys without accidents. Some vampires were trying to seduce me, but some of the other girls always came and throw herself in the vampire's arms. Frank, the owner, was looking at me strangely, like he knew I was hiding something big. And he had even protected me from some flirty guys himself. A thought that my boss would try to seduce me had crossed my mind, but Frank never touched me or said anything. I was extra careful with him. I was hiding for almost two months, but every moment I was expecting Victor to find me. But days passed and no sign of him. Maybe the prince had forgotten me, decided I wasn't worth it. He had probably found a new toy. I had tried to fool myself that, but the royal guards were looking for me. I knew time wasn't on my side and I had to ran away again. But where to?

I became friends with Sally, who was like a mother to me, Maya and Evelyn. But I missed my old ones, the three girls I had made a vow to be always sisters. I was scared to contact them. All these months as Victor's pet, I wasn't allowed to call them.

Days passed. But I guess fate hated me. One night Frank came and told us with a cheerful voice.

'' Girls, this night I want you to be perfect. We will have a special guest.''- I was just pouring a glass of whisky when I looked up. I had noticed that the place wasn't crowded as always. But what guest? –'' So may I suggest that you fix your makeups and put on something nicer.''

'' Who is coming, Frank?''- Sally asked. I paled.

'' A royalty. In my bar.''- I gripped the glass. Frank laughed.

'' You are joking!''- Maya said, after eying the other girls.

'' I'm not, my dear.''- My boss smiled.-'' The prince, our prince, is in our small town and he wants to see our blood bar.''- That wasn't possible!

'' The prince, Victor?!''- Lara, one blond, exclaimed.-'' Is it true what they had written in the newspapers? That a girl living with him had escaped? What a fool!''- I rolled my eyes. If you want him so much, you can have him! My escape had caused a scandal, a big one. I had expected my photograph to be all around the newspapers and the TV, but there weren't none. It was only said the royal guards were dealing with the matter and searching for Daniela Summers.

'' Yes, I think it is.''- Frank answered and for some reason his eyes landed on me. I looked away. Did he knew and told the prince? Was that why my boss was looking at me so strangely lately and protecting me from flirty clients?-'' So I want each every one of you to pick something nice to wear, a dress would be perfect. Fix your hairs and makeup. The prince must leave my bar with only wonderful memories. And to make things more interesting, I have masks for you to wear. For more mystery. ''- Frank was still glancing often at me when he spoke. He handed me a purple mask, which was decorated with golden and silver lines. The mask covered my eyes and nose. I felt my world crushing down.
