Hello. I am the author of this FanFic. It's my 1st one here, so it's not a noble prize winner I don't own any of the character's ( obviously) they belong to the very talented Beth Fantaskey. Although I have to admit that ,since I live in eastern Europe, my description's are a bit more precise Anyhow, I hope you like and please review.

I woke to find the sun shining in my eye. Usually, in the castle, we rarely faced such a problem. But since I was 3000 feet in the air, above most clouds, I was doomed to a sleepless night. Or should I say day, since the sun never went down if you were headed west. Yep, I was in a plane. A green one, with the words" Romanian Airlines" painted all over it. I was headed home Back to Pennsylvania and the Packwood's.

A horse and familiar male voice woke me from my thoughts:

-Good morning, my love. What are you up to?-the warm dark eyes stared down at me.

-Nothing much. Just day dreaming. You?-despite the fact that his hair was a mess and his face wast unshaven, Lucius managed to look like was on the cover of a magazine

-Same.-he smiled and game a peck on the lips that sent tingles down my spine.

-What are you daydreaming about?-I asked with a grin.

-You,-he answered with a huge smile. That made me blush like a little school girl.

-You should sleep. We're not going to land anytime soon. –his words made me groan.

-How much longer?

-Let's see…-he threw a quick glance at his watch.-It's 7 in the afternoon in Bucharest, so that will be…Another 4 hours.

-Ah, man…-I groaned .Technically, I had nothing against lying in a first class seat that turned in to a bed with Lucius sleeping at my side. But it was still annoying sitting in one place for god knows how much time with all these people around you.

-I know it's uncomfortable, but you'll be seeing your parents in another few hours.

-Yes, you're right. I'll try to take a nap. –I said as I nuzzled closer to him.

-Good. Sleep my dear and dream happy dreams.-he whispered and gently kissed my forehead.

It has been a year since we got married and fulfilled the pact. The best year of my life. I'll never forget the day we exchanged vows. The day I became his Queen. The night I became his wife…I have to admit that Lucius was truly good at everything. The whole entire year was our honeymoon. We traveled all across Europe: Paris, London, Rome, Budapest… It turned out that there are vampire clans all across Europe. Most of them were weaker than ours. But there were some strong ones. That's where Lucius showed his diplomatic skills. Not a single clan was unhappy with us, not a single one craved war. Our travels were wonderful. Lucius changed me, in a good way, just as I changed him. We never asked anything of each other. But there was this urge to make one another happy. I rarely wore jeans anymore. Instead I wore girly skirts, beautiful dresses, and magnificent silk gowns. I learned how to cook Hungarian goulash and that darn Romanian rabbit. And Lucius… He was a whole different man. Yes, the vampire prince will always be there, but at least he had an on/off switch. With the other vampires he was serious and composed. With me he barely ever stopped smiling. He loved going shopping with me (unlike normal husbands who hate the whole concept of it). He liked waiting for me to come out of the dressing room, and when I did, his eyes would light up with admiration and desire. Every night, we lay down curled up on the couch, watching those dorky old vampire movies. Life was perfect and I'm pretty sure it can't get any better.

Of course I missed my parents madly. So we invited them to come over for Christmas. Instead we ended up visiting them. Faith Crosse cheated on her high school sweetheart Ethan, so he told everyone that she, Ethan and Frank were the ones who spread the rumors about Lucius. They were gone, the town knew the truth (the one that they could take without turning in to an angry mob) and we were safe, for now.
