Claimer: Definitely all mine. So, don't even think about taking it.
Chapter 1: Kidnapped
I sat there looking out of the floor to roof window. The rain was pouring faster and
harder by every hour. The thunder flashed every now and then. And I loved every
minute of it. My long sapphire dress flowed around my legs and dangled down on the
side of my seat. The sleeves were almost as long as the dress. In the night, my pale skin
stood out. The room was pitch black and filled with rows and rows of books. The library
was my favorite spot in the whole castle.
I stayed in my position even though someone was persistently knocking on the huge
oak doors. Without my saying so, my fiancé walked in looking peeved.
"You've been here this whole time!" Not a question, but a demand. I frowned, why
must I marry such a horrid man? He may not have hit me...yet, but he is so rude and
sexist. Why woman waste their time bedding him was beyond me.
When I said nothing he walked up to me and pulled me up into his arms.
"Aurora...I know you don't love me, but can't you at least quit running away from me?
You'll learn to love me in due time..." I stood there looking at him emotionless. My
sapphire eyes always scared people; they never betray my emotions like a normal
human. Oh, don't get me wrong, I am a normal human, but I hardly feel emotions.
When I do it's never reflected unless I will it to.
He shifted his eyes to the floor and pulled away. "Right...well, come. Let's go to bed, now." He offered his hand and looked hopeful. I slowly glanced down and sat back in my original position. He sighed in frustration and slammed the door in his wake.
It was around midnight when I finally turned my head again.
"I know you're there."
A chuckle. Then a man stepped out of the shadows. He was wearing all black and if it weren't for the lighting I would have never noticed his figure. He walked towards my window and sat across from me. I stared him down, waiting to see if he'll break.
He didn't. And it intrigued me.
"You don't want to be here." A statement. I frowned. I wasn't much for talking but he got me curious. When I didn't reply he laughed.
He lifted his hand up and caressed my cheek; it was freezing.
My blood red lips finally moved to form words; "You're a vampire." It wasn't a question but a mere fact. He smirked.
"Ah, so the Ice Princess does speak! How wonderful. Now, how about we go?" He stood
up and like my fiancé earlier offered me his hand. I glanced at it and looked up at him.
This time I accepted it. He lifted me up and held me to his chest and smiled down at me.
Before I knew it we were in another castle's library.
I was sitting yet again in a window seat staring at the rain. The room was bright and
warm with the soft fire's glow. The man and a new woman were conversing about me.
The woman was angry that he brought me, but the man just laughed at her and would
shrug.
"Why did you bring her here? This could start a war! Don't you realize that that is the
princess of the humans? That brat is supposed to marry the northern prince! That's two of
them against one of us! You know the lycans will never join our side! They will be
happy to have the humans rid of us!"
"Don't you think I know this? She wasn't happy! She would sit by the window night
after night staring into the dark wishing she wasn't there! Her 'fiancé' cheats on her
every waking moment with her knowing about it! She wished to be somewhere else..."
The woman glared at him hard. She was beyond angry. I suppose I couldn't blame her. After all...she was right. The north (fire) and the east (air) were supposed to intermarry whenever they had a boy and a girl. This generation they did, and they were taking full advantage of it. The south (earth) and the west (water) were enemies to all. The lycans in the south lived in huts and hunted anyone who wasn't of their kind. Once, the humans and lycans use to be allies, but a dictator in the north had went on a bloodlust hunt for anything that wasn't human. Vampires to begin with used humans for their food source, so there really were no way for us to ally with them.
I've always had a wild fantasy about being kidnapped by any mystical being. Whether it
was dragons, fairies, vampires, lycans, or elves, any would do. Although now she didn't
have to worry about being kidnapped...apparently she had a vampire stalker. Whom she
consented on taking her. Perhaps she really wasn't a normal human, after all. What
human consents to a vampire stealing her in the dead of the night? Obviously her.
With no warning, she burst out laughing startling the young man and woman. The man
grinned; "Ah! So she isn't as emotionless as people say! Wonderful!" The woman rolled
her eyes and stalked out of the room.
I got up and seductively walked to my host. I was taught at a young age, that when a
handsome man is in the room with power, seduce him by all means. And now, it was a
habit--which I hate. He stared at me amused.
"Is the Ice Princess trying to seduce me?" He laughed again and brought my body
against his. His lips met mine and suddenly I wanted to be home. A flare of anger that I
have never felt rouse in me till I couldn't take it anymore. I pushed him away and slapped him in the face.
He looked at me surprised. "Are you angry? Sad? Upset?" He looked confused at my
actions, no surprise; I showed no emotion yet again. He grew angry then.
He grabbed my wrist and forced my face into his. "Now you listen to me, don't you dare
slap me again, or you'll regret it." I said nothing and stared at him.
Slowly a smile appeared, then a giggle, and before I knew it I was laughing again in one
night! Amazing what vampires can do to you. I stopped laughing while he looked
bewildered. "Where is my room?"
The woman glared at the man across from her.
"Where is the brat then?"
The man rolled his eyes and sighed. "In her room, sleeping, either that or looking out the
window."
"Why did you bring her, Damien? Why? You are endangering all of us, yourself
especially!"
"I...I don't know, Kya." Kya looked at him sadly through hooded eyes and sighed.
"Well...I guess since she's here, we might as well teach her of our ways, so she doesn't
think we're as evil as everyone else does."
Damien grinned and hugged Kya. "Thanks, little sister."
She sighed, 'Sister...' She looked up at him and smiled, mentally she screamed for him.
She had fallen in love with him a year after he saved her from the lycans. She was
Human, then. And lost. Yet he felt nothing for her...instead he fell in love with another woman, a princess at that!
'Well, I'd rather be a sister to him than his enemy.' She thought silently.
I saw myself sitting in a meadow, flowers everywhere with one lone tree. I jumped back in surprise, why was there two of me? The second me was wearing a pale pink dress inlaid with flowery designs. I gagged, there was no way I would wear a dress like that. Dark colors were my type.
My hair was wavy and let loose around my shoulders. I gasped even I wasn't that rebellious! Suddenly a man sat up and pulled the second me down into his lap. He grinned roguishly at me and planted a kiss on my lips. On the other side of the field I touched my own lips, as if he was kissing me.
The second me stood up and smiled grabbing the man's hand. He laughed and got up. They both grew sober and he soon started caressing her stomach. I was confused, was my second me pregnant?
"It's not yours." The second me said, suddenly. The man looked taken aback, then furious.
"What do you mean it's not mine!" The second me smiled then laughed evilly.
"It was never yours to begin with. I never loved you. The Ice Princess does not fall in love with mere mortals…" The second me refused to quit laughing. The man was shocked.
"B-but then…" A smug smirk quirked her lips.
"Please. You should have known in the beginning that I would never have left my lover unless I had reason too. To destroy you…slowly and painfully."
Before any of them realized the sun had set to twilight. The man looked around himself in shock. I ran closer so I could see them in the fast setting sun.
"I see you have told him then." A cold harsh voice came into the picture. I shuddered. The second me ran towards the voice and kissed him forcefully on the lips.
"What took you so long? I was getting oh so bored with this human." The vampire laughed and quickly before the young man could stop him bit into the second me neck.
She screamed bloody murder. The vampire, finishing his meal threw her onto the ground in front of the human man.
"And I never loved you. Nor the unborn brat." He laughed and watched as her eyes filled with betrayal.
"I risked everything for you! After all these time…you never loved me? I see…a vampire could never fall in love with a human."
The vampire laughed; "No, fool. A vampire can love a human. Just not the Ice Princess. But don't worry…you'll live. As a vampire, the one thing that you did not want to become nor your child. You may have loved me, but you did not love the vampire. And that is what you are to become now."
The young man finally came to his senses and pulled out his sword.
"I'll kill you for bewitching my bride and trying to kill her!" He charged at the vampire while the second me screamed yet again. The vampire laughed and sliced his head off.
The screaming wouldn't stop.
I was shaken awake by the male vampire of the household. I screamed and jumped away.
"What by the Water are you doing?" He demanded.
I stared at him confused. Wasn't he the vampire in my dream? Oh my Air Goddess, was that the future? I shook my head, deep in my thoughts.
"Are you listening? I asked what that was about." I blinked and looked at him again.
"What is your name?" He looked irritated then sighed.
"Damien. Now answer my question!"
"I had a bad dream."
He stared at me. "You've been screaming for the past half hour."
I looked at him and turned my body slightly to the door. "Please leave me to dress for the day."
He sighed and got up. "We'll be having a dinner party tonight. Dress carefully…there will be vampires."
I blinked and walked him to the door. After the door was closed, I locked it and sprinted to the window seat. I looked out the window for an hour before I decided to get up and change.
"So? What was wrong with the snob?"
"Kya…" Damien said in a warning tone. Kya shrugged and looked away moodily.
"She had a bad dream."
Kya rolled her eyes dramatically; "Oh big deal. For a moment I was hoping that the lycans were trying to kidnap her." She sighed sadly.
"What does she want to eat for lunch?"
He shrugged. Kya sighed and sat bored.
Suddenly the Ice Princess showed up wearing an ice blue dress. It was cut off from the top showing her bare shoulders with her hair down, the sleeves were bell cut and long, and in the back there were strings interlacing without fabric to hide her pale skin.
Damien's jaw dropped. The ice blue accented her skin, dark hair, and sapphire eyes. Seeming (keyword) not to notice Damien's look she walked up to Kya and looked at her harshly.
"What the hell is your problem?" Kya snapped.
The Ice Princess looked her up and down and scoffed. "Where's my lunch, servant?"
Damien stood up to his full height and slapped Aurora across the face. "You do not address my little sister like that!"
Aurora, having not moved an inch, raised one of her eyebrows. "Sister? She looks nothing like you." She blinked and turned toward the counters.
"Do you have anything to eat? For a human, that is."
Kya gritted her teeth together and got up to open a door. "The human is awake! Serve human food!" She ordered down the stairs.
Inhuman grunts could be heard before Kya closed the door again.
"Lunch will be served shortly." She scoffed.
Aurora sat down in the middle of the table and stared openly at both of the vampires.
"Do you ever show any emotion?" Snapped Kya.
"No."
Kya looked unconvinced as she stared at the Ice Princess. Damien laughed.
"Kya, why do you think they call her the Ice Princess?"
