Prologue

1700's

King Charlie's POV

She was the most beautiful creature I had ever seen. With flowing mahogany hair, and chocolate brown eyes. Never in my very long life had I wanted a woman so much, much less a human. I knew I would never be easy until I had her for my own. So I watched and waited, for the opportunity to make her mine, and today was the day I could wait no longer. But with so many people around there was no way for me to approach her, let alone take her, with out some one noticing my sparkling skin, damn sunlight. So I kept to the shadows, following her thru the market place. It was a lot easier said then done, yet I managed. As the sun began to sink beyond the horizon she made her way out of the town, while I watched her go I was captivated by the slight sway of her hips, and the way her hair turned slightly red in the dying sunlight. I had to have her.

I followed her to a small cottage about a mile out of the city walls of Volterra. As I watched her draw closer the cottage I knew I had to make my move. So I rushed forward, in a blur of speed and snatched her off her feet, remembering to be carful of my strength I placed an ice cold hand over mouth to keep her from screaming. Turning I raced back to Volterra, with the beautiful woman in my arms. As I reached my rooms in the castle, I slammed the door behind me, and looked down at the terrified woman. Her chocolate brown eyes stared into my red ones with a look of horror mixed with a bit of wonder. I realized I was holding my breath, and as I began to breath again the most amazing sent filled me. The venom began to pool in my mouth while my erection stained against the fabric of my trousers. Slowly never taking my eyes from hers I walked to my bed. I rarely used my bed, seeing as I never slept, but every once in a while it did come in handy, like now. I laid her gently on the soft mattress, my gaze running over her face, and lingering on her lips. I bent my head and captured those perfectly plump lips in a soft kiss. She hadn't moved until that moment. I felt her hands on my chest pushing against me, as she turned her face away, breaking the kiss. I eased back, her heart was racing, she was frightened out of her wits. I pulled away from her, allowing her room to calm down.

"Who are you?" she rasped, still trying to catch her breath.

"I am King Charles, you can call me Charlie. And what, pray tell, is your name?" I replied.

"King?" she asked "there is no king in Volterra"

"Oh but there is my dear, there has been for centuries." I chuckled at her confused stare.

"We don't reveal ourselves to the humans, but we are here nonetheless "

"What are you?" was her next question. I don't know why I felt the need to tell her everything when she hadn't even told me her name yet. But I did.

"We are Vampires." I said.

"We? There are more of you?" she squeaked.

"Of course, what would I be the king of if I was the only one?" I asked with a smile.

"Oh" was her only reply.

"Well my dear I've answered you questions, but you have yet to answer mine." I said. That cute little confused look returned to her face.

"Your name" I prompted.

"Renee" she whispered. "What do you want from me?"

Aww yes, I knew that question was coming. The only problem was I had yet to answer that for myself. I looked into her eyes. And the answer came.

"Your love"

Time passed and amazingly enough I won her love. It wasn't easy, but I did it. The only problem was that she reused to become a vampire, while she may love me she would not embrace my lifestyle preying on humans. But at least she agreed to marry me, even though we couldn't have children, that fact saddened her, she had always wanted a child of her own. I would have done anything to give her one. A month after we wed, she came to me with a brilliant smile on her face.

"My love" she said from the door of my study. Somehow I hadn't heard her coming. I jumped up out of my chair and was at he side in a second.

"Darling, what are you doing up? You should be in bed." I said worriedly, she had been sick for a week, hardly able to eat.

"I have the most amazing news" she smiled at me sweetly "I know why I've been so sick."

"You do? Please tell me, my love so I can fix it." I said

"I'm with child" she was bouncing with excitement now. And I was stunned. How was that possible? She took my hand and lead it to her stomach that was, much to my amazement, already beginning to round with our child.

"Amazing" I whispered

"But I think there might be a problem" she sighed

"What would that be?" I asked

"Well" she began "I shouldn't be this pregnant, yet" she gestured to her belly.

"Hmm, well what should we do?" I asked as the worry started to build.

"I don't know maybe we should just wait and see" she said with that beautiful smile back on her face. God how I loved that smile.

God how I missed that smile. 3 months later she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, with pale skin, curly brown locks and chocolate brown eyes. After giving her the name Isabella, my beautiful Renee, passed away with that smile on her face.

My only solace was my daughter Isabella. She was the epitome of beauty. Yet she grew at an alarming rate, and she slept like a human. I was afraid that I would lose her too if she kept aging so quickly. After 7 years she reached her full growth and now some 700 years later she is still the same beautiful woman. My pride and joy. Today is her 710th birthday. There will be a ball to celebrate her birthday and honor her mother's memory. There will be several suitors there trying to win my daughters hand. One would think that she would find one to her liking by now. As much as I want her to be happy and find a love of her own, I can't bring myself to pushing her to make a decision, after 710 years she is still my baby girl, and I'll hold on to her as long as I can.
