Vampyre Princess
Chapter 4
Crush
and
Dreams
It was weird going to classes. People looked at me like they should bow, yet they hated me all together. When Zoey noticed that I was confused about the looks, she explained it was only because everyone hated her because she'd sent Kalona away from here. I also didn't like the looks I got from this Eric Knight. He looked at me as if I was fresh meat to him, I swear I just wanted to slap that look off. Aphrodite and Zoey had quickly warned me to stay away from him, I made no complaints there. I was walking next to Aphrodite towards the girls dormitories when I bumped into someone. I gasped when I felt his arms touch me, keeping me from falling. I looked up and found green eyes looking down at me. My mind too dazed to figure out who he was. He was gorgeous, more then I'd seen a fledgling here be.
"I'm sorry, I should have been watching where I was going." he said to me, his arms still under mine, holding me up. I swallowed the saliva in my mouth and just nodded.
"It's…okay." I whispered. He smiled at me, a beautiful crocked smile that made my heart jump. I didn't know if he heard it, or if he even cared, but…goddess he was gorgeous.
"I'm Edward, I don't think I've seen you here before." He said to me. I shook my head, trying to clear my mind, but it didn't work much.
"Bella, and…I'm new." he nodded, his eyes never breaking from mine.
"Well, it was nice meeting you Bella." he whispered. He took me by surprise. Edward bent down and kissed the corner of my lips before he pulled away and left me standing there dazed. I felt someone tugging my arm but didn't look up, I just let my mind swim in mush.
"Earth to Bella. Wake up." I blinked a few times and noticed that Aphrodite was snapping her fingers in front of me. I looked around and noticed we were in my room now.
"What…?" I asked her. She smirked and placed her hands on her hips, as if she knew something I didn't.
"Is Princess Bella, crushing on the new kid."
"New…kid?" I asked, trying to clear my mind.
"Jezz Bella, you know. Sex on legs outside. The one that kissed you."
"Oh….I…don't know." I whispered. She laughed lightly and nodded, again with that knowing smile.
"Listen, I'm going to bed now, I'm tired and all. But if you need anything at all Bella, just…look for me across your room."
"Thanks, you and Zoey are really nice to me." she just nodded and left my room. I laid on my bed and tried to think back to that guy. Edward. His name was Edward Mason and he was 18. He had a sister who was also a fledgling here, Alice Mason, and their cousin Emmett McCarty. That's all I knew, that's all my mind could find. I was still too dazed. I closed my eyes and stripped into just my bra and undies. Within a few seconds, I was asleep.
I was sitting on a meadow. No one was around, just me and the beautiful wild flowers. Then, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up and found my mother Nyx, smiling down at me. I tried not to show her the hurt I felt seeing her, the betrayal and the longing. Her smile was still in place.
"Hello my dear daughter." she sat in front of me, wrapping her arms around me. I felt fluttering in my stomach, knowing that this was my mother and not my goddess.
"I know how you feel dear one. I feel what you feel after all."
"You…do?"
"Well, only when I want to of course." I nodded and looked into her eyes. She smiled and reached over to push a strand of hair behind my ear.
"Listen my daughter, I know that you feel neglected by Erebus and I . but you need to know that we do love you, and you are far more important to us then anyone else. My dear Isabella, we love so much, but we can not show favoritism often."
"You show it to Aphrodite and Zoey."
"They get their gifts because they represent me my dear. Please understand that, just because Zoey has a few extra tattoo's and Aphrodite still has her visions, that doesn't mean we love you any less. You are far to important to us my dear."
"I just…don't understand why…I'm a…"
"Fledgling. Because as a human you were left opened to be attacked. Now you are stronger my dear, and you will soon learn how to fight back. You make me so proud my daughter." then there was a shimmer around me and my father was there as well. This would be as close as I could ever get to them, and even though it wasn't enough, I was happy for this moment. I threw my arms around my father's waist, crying against him. They wrapped their arms around me, holding me tightly.
"You are such a beauty my darling, not just in body but in heart. You'll do great things along side of Zoey and her groups. I can see your future clearly now, you will overpass all the obstacles waiting for you. It will be a tough road, but you will complete it." looking up at my mom, I knew she was speaking with her heart. We stayed there for I don't know how long, feeling my parents arms around me, my father's wings around us, enveloping his warmth around us. And I cried. Because this was all I ever wanted. All I ever wanted was to know that they loved me, and as selfish as it sounds, that they loved me more then the rest of their children. Because I was their real daughter, from my mothers womb, and they weren't. and they gave me that love, they showed me that they did love me more, that I was their favorite, and they were proud of me, for doing nothing at all except breathing. It was a beautiful wonderful and blissful dream. One that would be tattooed into my heart forever. I would make my parents proud, show them that I could do this.
