The Second Pact.

Disclaimer: I do not in any way, shape, or form own Jessica's guide to dating on the dark side. If I did my name would be Beth Fantaskey and not…well what it is now.

Authors note: ; Anywho I haven't written a fan fiction in over a year or so...and I really hope you guys enjoy this story. I recently read this book and fell in love with it! So of course my brain began working and I wanted to do sort of a "Continuation" of Beth's novel. Its quite exciting the idea's storming around in this brain of mine.

Summary: Jessica, now known rightfully as Anastasia Dragomir, has finally accepted her place in Romania and beside her fiance Lucius. However now that things seem to be going as they should Anastasia has to deal with learning how to rule an entire country of vampires. On top of that she begins having strange and awfully weird dream like premonitions that have a knack for coming true. When these premonitions guide her to a male by the name of Quinn she find's something out that could destroy the very peace she'd fought so hard to maintain in the vampire world, with Lucius, and with herself.

Chapter 1: The premonition.

The first time I saw him, it was deep within my unconscious.

A dream like state I presume, a premonition. I was standing deep in the pit of a forest, fallen leaves at my naked feet, a beautiful white dress flowing behind me on the earthy ground. My hair, usually in a curly unruly state a little past my shoulders, had been pinned up in a beautiful diamond stone hair clip and out of the way. The area had an earthy smell, one that was to strong for my newly sensitive vampire nose and I covered it with the palm of my shaking hand. My eyes scanned the moon lit area carefully, squinting as they came upon a spot that was extremely covered in darkness. However a pair of crystal gray eyes stared back at me in amusement or at least what I thought had been amusement. I removed my hand from my face and opened my mouth to speak but the scene before me became blurry, my eyes became unfocused, everything became black before the darkness swallowed me whole…

"Well goodness! Princess Anastasia wake up!"

The hard thunk of a ruler hitting against the desk I'd been occupying startled me back to reality. I blinked a few times, my bright green eyes coming into focus and settling on the gray haired private tutor before me. My eye's widened as I shot straight up in my seat…she was definitely not amused. How could I tell her though that I hadn't realized I'd fallen asleep or had been daydreaming or whatever it was that had just happened.

"S-sorry Madame Clarisse, please continue."

The older woman huffed a bit before returning to her lesson and I became all to aware again of my boring surroundings. Locked in a stuffy room with a woman who seemed to become angered at the slightest things was hardly any fun. Now exploring Lucius' castle was something I wanted to do but by the time I finished with my lesson's I was to exhausted to do much else but sleep. My fingers reached up to play with my mothers necklace, the one Lucius had bestowed upon me and my eyes wandered out the stuffy window toward the woods that started off at the far right. Again my short dream came to me and the vision of crystal gray eyes plagued me once again. Who had that male been? A better question was why did it bother me so much? I didn't know him but I felt strange about the entire thing…

Sighing gently I forced my attention to the woman speaking most energetically about one thing or another. I sincerely hoped my fiancé didn't ask me about this current private lesson because if he did I'd be sincerely screwed.


"Lucius!"

It wasn't common for me to burst into Lucius' study at the most random of times. This evening however I'd appeared right after my lesson's with Madame Clarisse. He was sitting behind a broad mahogany desk, sitting quite proper I noticed, Long black hair slicked back and past his shoulders, eyes dark as always but bright with amusement and admiration upon my arrival.

"Anastasia out of lesson's early I see. Hopefully you didn't give Madame to much of a hard time today?"

Damn.

He already knew. I had yet to figure out how information was spread so fast in a place so huge. Grimacing a bit I closed the door behind me and walked over to him, ignoring the question completely as I plopped myself down on his lap. We'd become rather affectionate in the past week after the whole ordeal with lucius almost killing me. It was something I didn't like to dwell on and I was only thankful that he snapped out of his mock anger toward me.

"What are you doing?" I asked, sporting a fake frown. "You didn't come check on me today...that is the highlight of my dreadful afternoons you know."

He smiled at this and placed one of his hands at the back of my neck, pulling my face closer to his own. Our lips were nearly touching, a regular move of his that always left me out of breath and wanting more.

"My apologies love. I've been planning for the wedding and dealing with some other trivial issues. Do you forgive me my princess?"

Of course I had, he didn't even need to ask but just so he knew I took the initiative and closed the space between our lips. My arms wrapped around his neck and he too pulled me closer, deepening our kiss, taking my very breath away.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. He tensed up immediately, an animalistic grown starting deep within his throat. Pulling away quite quickly Lucius sighed in exasperation.

"What the hell is it? Come in!"

Before I could chastise him for his rudeness, a female, looking rightfully frightened and nervous stepped in. I recognized her as one of the servants who roamed the halls. She was human and rather young with platinum blond hair and sparkling but shy blue eyes.

"What is it Emily?"

The venom was still in his voice and I looked at him as if to let him know he wasn't being very kind. He didn't seem to care though.

"I was actually looking for Princess Anastasia. Someone said you'd come to the masters study. Monsieur Delanor' is ready for dancing lesson's to begin and he asked me to find you."

Before I could protest Lucius placed his hand's on my waist and lifted me to my feet.

"Well you heard her love! I'll finish up here as soon as I can and meet you upstairs after all your lesson's have ended."

I hated being treated like a child but said nothing about it especially in front of an audience. Dusting myself off I said my goodbyes and made my way out of the room, Emily following suit. We both remained quiet on our way to the ballroom until I spoke allowed my thought's by mistake.

"I wonder what has Lucius so pre occupied.."

"You mean you don't know princess?"

That stopped me completely in my tracks and I turned to face her. She looked quite stumped like she shouldn't have said anything at all. Curiosity really got the best of me now and studying the younger girl I smiled, trying to show her that it was ok to confide in me. Smiling only seemed to make things worse however because my sharp new fangs became quite apparent in such a state.

"I- I well I'm not one hundred percent sure you see but there's talk amongst the servants of the werewolves in the east. It seems they've been plotting something against us but we could never be to sure."

"Were-wolves?"

What did she mean were wolves? Weren't those human's who could change into wolf form? Was that even possible? Vampires was one thing, and I'd only just learned to grasp and accept that, but humans morphing into animals was something different all together.

"The Trentle tribe, they've been around as long as the vampires. They are, for a lack of a better term servants to the Vladescu family. Pretty much the wolves protect the surrounding area and the vampires provide them with whatever they need. However I heard Quinn, the pack leader, has become rather restless recently and theres been talk of overpowering…"

Once again I was at a lost for words. It annoyed me that Lucius had failed to provide me with such information…as silly and non believable as it was. There couldn't possibly be were wolves in the woods. Either way I decided to brush it off as nothing.

"Ah I see. Well lets get a move on. I'm sure Mr. Delanor' has become impatient with me."

Emily seemed to sense my indifference but said nothing else about it.

"Of course Princess Anastasia."

Without another word we both made our way to the ballroom, the darkening of the night filling the hall, and the silver moon creeping through the tall glass windows.

End note: Well I hope you all liked chapter one! Please review and let me know what you guys think! I'm working on chapter two now and it should be up by tomorrow. ;]

Peace/Happiness/Love.
