~Zelda's POV~
"What do you want with me?" I sobbed as my kidnapper placed me gently in the backseat of his car. I continued crying as he slammed the door. He got in the car and drove away from my home and my family. "I wanna go home." I sobbed earning a glare from the driver. "Please just take me home!" I begged tearfully.
"Shut up." He growled out. "You are not to speak unless spoken too. For now you will call me 'Father'." I opened my mouth to say I already had a father but snapped it closed as he shot me another glare. The rest of the drive was silent, besides my persistent cries. A woman took me gently from the backseat when we stopped. She led me into the house in silence, not even bothering to ask me if I was okay. I want my mommy! I screamed in my mind, a loud whimper escaping my lips.
"Who are you?" A soft voice whispered behind me. I spun to face the speaker and was met with curious blue eyes. For a moment I thought I was back home with my mom and another whimper escaped my throat.
"I'm Zelda." I said, sniffling slightly. "Zelda Dragomir. Who are you?" I took in his pale skin and eyes, as well as his black hair.
"I'm Christian, Christian Ozera." He told me in triumph, as if I was supposed to recognize his name. I forgot all about my kidnapping for a moment, as a laugh escaped. I grinned at him cheekily, revealing my pearl white fangs.
"Oh Christian." I snapped and he looked shocked. "Of course," I grasped his hand quickly. "I've heard so much about you." He blinked and yanked his hand back roughly.
"You've heard of me?" I laughed at his shocked expression and shook my head, grinning from ear to ear.
"Of course not." I told him. "I was just kidnapped from my home. I've never even met another moroi other than my direct family. They like to keep me a secret." I said my smile faltering for a moment.
"I'm sorry." he whispered as he hugged me. "Maybe my mommy will take you home." He smiled softly and stepped back.
"What did I tell you?" The brown-haired woman squealed as she pointed at us. The strigoi man simply nodded, his pale eyes resting on me, observing my every move with a strange hunger in his eyes.
"Christian this is Zelda. Your father and I have chosen her to be your future bride." I scrunched my nose up at the thought.
"No way." Christian said, his nose crinkling. "I don't even know her, mama." He said, glancing at the man's red-rimmed eyes.
"Then get to know her." The man snapped and Christian nodded.
"Okay dad." He said timidly. "Come on Zelda." He told me, grabbing my hand and rushing with me up the stared.
"Are you okay?" I asked concerned for my new friend. He nodded but the fear in his eyes said differently.
"Something happened to my daddy." He whispered and I hugged him. I knew what had happened to his dad, but I didn't have the heart to tell him. We sat in silence for a few moments, and my eyelids began to droop.
