The Better Ending

Warning: this is shorter than regularly but I had to leave you hanging. Enjoy!

Chapter 4

"Darren! Wake up!" yelled an urgent voice. I flipped out of my hammock and landed at a female's feet. I looked up to see none other than Mr. Crepsley's mate, Arra Sails.

"What?" I asked sleepily.
"Larten told me that you have chosen your new Princes. I would like to know who they are and why you chose them." Arra demanded. I moaned and stood up.

"I chose four very powerful suiters." I began, Arra sighed and sat down in a wooden chair.

"Continue." She ordered. I sat down.

"All right. My first choice was Debbie Hemlock." I said.
Arra nodded, "Okay. Who and why her?"

"Number one, she is a powerful person. She is brilliant, has a great leadership style and very demanding. Also, she is my lover." I concluded.
Arra smirked. "Oh, I see. Well, I will have to meet her." I sighed. "And the others?" She asked.

"My second choice is Gavner Purl." I said, I could feel the sleep in my eyes.
"Wise choice, but why?" Arra asked.
"He escaped death many times, a worth friend, and is capable of leading the vampires wonderfully." I said.
Arra nodded in approval.
"The others?" She asked.

"My third choice is, of course, a very wise one." I said.

Arra's eyebrows rose. "Oh?" She asked.

"Yes, Larten Crepsley." I answered simply.

Arra smiled fully. "A very wise choice, indeed." She said.
"I guess I don't have to explain why I picked him?" I asked.
Arra shook her head. "No, you don't. The last?" She asked.

"My last choice is obvious." I began.
Arra's eyebrows were now hidden behind her bangs.
"You, Arra Sails, are my last choice." I said seriously.
Arra's mood did a flip and she climbed to her feet.
"And why me?" She asked furiously.

"You are a worthy opponent, a trusting friend, a powerful vampiress, and most of all, and honorable one. You above all the others would lead the vampire clan into a war against the most powerful evil that will destroy the world." I said proudly.
"Oh yeah? And what's that?" Arra asked.
I paused and studied her face. "Me." I said quietly and turned away from her.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Arra asked softly.
"I am going to rise to great power and take over the world. You and the other Princes will have to fight me. They need to be trained, and I want you to work with them." I answered. Arra left me to gather her thoughts. An hour later I recieved a letter that reported that Arrow had been killed just outside the mountains, and the ceremony for the new Princes and Princesses would be held that night.
