Before I could respond too the beautiful woman staring deep into my eyes a voice echoed across the ceiling. "Do not call her that mother! I don't care what you and father say. She is not my princess and she never will be." In an instant this radiant face glowing in front of me tightened and I could see the illusion begin too fail. "Ignore his rudeness dear. That is only my son Gabriel. He has yet too learn how too treat a lady." She said getting a bit louder so he could hear with out any issue. "I'm not being rude mother." By this point Gabriel had walked into my sight. He was an absolutely gorgeous man. His hair was as red as his mothers and just a bit past his chin. While his eyes; his eyes were mostly black but with a thin green along the outer layer. He was clothed in what I can only imagine a prince wears with gold shimmering and gems glittering from his suit like attire.
"This...this...GIRL is not my princess and never will be!" He said pointing a finger at me. "And that being said I think it more rude on your part in assuming that we will be married." I shook my head in disbelief. "We will be what?" "Married." He finally turned and faced me. "We have been engaged since we were little apparently or have they forgot too mention this too you?" "Do not speak too Natasha that way Gabriel. You two will soon be married and we need level headed rulers in this kingdom." "Have I no say in this?" I said firmly. They both looked at me. "I don't even know where I am or what happened too me and already I'm engaged. Not too mention I haven't even turned 20 yet, and women in my family aren't given away until at least 21." Kashina's face softened as she looked longer at my angry face. "I am so sorry Natasha. You are being thrown onto this so suddenly. And you do not even know much about it. Please come with me and I will do my best too explain." Kashina again held out her hand towards me and I placed my heavy hand in her delicate one. As if she were on air the queen floated out of the room with all manner of servants bowing and following behind her. Gabriel still stood glaring in the middle of the hall behind us.
"Please Natasha; take a seat." She motioned too a plush chair in the corner. I hesitated because I didn't want too get too comfortable. I wanted too go home. Though as if she saw the hesitation she spoke. "This is going too be a long and hard explanation Natasha. You will want too sit." I finally took the chair and was offered tea and cookies. Taking it only as a polite gesture, since I hate tea, I set the cup down as the queen took her seat across from myself. "Now you must remember Natasha this was all laid out before you or your grandparents or their grandparents were even born."
"Many years ago when I was still a young princess learning my duties I came across a body outside on the lawn. This body was that of another vampire that had just been killed by our guards,but something was wrong with the vampire in the fact that he had no white in his eyes and his mouth smelt of human blood. You see Vampires of our race have slightly normal eyes so we have the ability too blend in with normal humans when needed." The queen's eyes changed too that of just pure green eyes instead of the mostly black pupils. "We also only drink a human's blood when it was necessary or it is given too us by said human. It was then I learned of the race not of my realm that had began growing" She changed positions like as if she were readying for the long haul of the story. "You see the race of vampires in my realm evolved from a very harsh race of vampires. They killed everything in sight and almost caused every living race too become extincted. It was then that the smartest of the race exiled themselves and began a new colony that fed on mostly animals. They became what you see now. Long before I was born a large war broke out and the other race was said too have been extinguished from existence. They soon learned otherwise when these very vampires began turning up on our lawns. Because of this my grandfather sought out a wise old sooth sayer for answers and the prophecy was born. It was said that once the heir too our thrown was born a male a human from a specific family must be found. The family turned out too be yours and the female you. We have been watching your family for years trying too find the right one. The girl in the prophecy was said too have a knowledge of the new age and mind of a vampire. The day you were born you were given milk but refused until there was a drop of meat added. It was then that we knew you were our savior." I looked at her in udder shock. "What do you mean savior." "Your blood will save our race from extinction by the Assamites. They threaten our way of life and your blood is too renew our own." I looked down at the ground thinking of all the times I was not aloud outside alone and being locked away. "Did the human's know of this prophecy?" I said finally looking up. "I believe so yes. My grandfather tried taking the woman born in his time but brought her back after realizing he must have a son first since human's do not live as long as vampires and the sooth sayer told of a young woman no more than 21 in human years. From that day when one of your own birth a girl she was watched closely since no one wanted their little girl taken by vampires." I bit my lip slightly. "That explains the locked doors. Though that doesn't explain the attack! Why did I wake up covered in wounds and bruises if I am your savior." I said angrily. "We were not the only ones watching for your arrival Natasha. The Assmites do not want us too succeed and have been waiting too kill the one since the time of the prophecy. Though they are a spiteful race so they waited until we began our gathering of you too attack and try and kill you. As if you were so close but we stopped you kind of thing. Boyel was attacked while bringing you too the safety of our realm." So Boyel was the one who grabbed me at my house I thought.
"Are there anymore questions you would like too ask Natasha?" She looked at me with wondering eyes still in human forms. "One. So I have too marry your son for this prophecy too be completed?" She smiled even bigger. "Yes. And after watching you grow I don't think I could have asked for anyone else." I rolled my eyes and laughed as my mind wandered back too the thought of the red head in the other room who obviously hated me.
