Dakota's POV
I layed down on the ground as I store up at the red sky.
"That explains everything. Cross is the prince, and Matlin is his princess. That's how she's next in line to be queen. Oh no."
Gantlos took my arms and roughly pulled me up, "I didn't travel this far to get scared by a vampire prince." I rolled my eyes as we approached the palace gate.
"Excuse us," I walked up to one of the guards. He wore a golden suit with a red sash crossing over his chest, and he had an insignia of a bat, interesting.
"What is it? If you're another person looking for a picture of the princess, then you're out of luck."
I laughed, "No no no. We're just looking for a visit with the prince and his lovely bride-to-be. Unless, there is a problem with that, I can always speak to them. Unless you're scared."
"Scared of what? A runt like you?" He laughed, "I'm not afraid of anything, so I'll have her Highness' messenger escort you to them immediately."
"And here I was thinking you were scared of me," I shrugged as we walked into the castle.
I silently laughed as we passed by him, "Reverse psychology. Works every time."
"Great work, Dakota."
They laughed as well as we heard the guard yell for someone, "Selene! Someone's here to see the prince and princess, so bring them."
"Oh no, I know her. This can't be good."
Suddenly a cloud of smoke appeared and revealed Selene. She smiled and kissed the guard on the cheek.
"I'm in the other room, Lane. There's no need to yell." He smiled as she moved his brown hair behind his ear. He reached up, took her hand and kissed it, causing her to giggle as she turned around to face us. Her eyes widened when they met mine.
"Selene? You okay?" Lane looked at her worriedly. She looked up at him sweetly and rubbed his cheek.
"I'm fine, I just thought I saw something. Go back to your post, honey." He nodded as he quickly hugged her and went back to the door as it closed again. She smiled at him until the door closed and he was out of sight, but when he was gone, she turned back to us with a glare.
"As a professional fairy, I can see right past your disguises, wizards," She spat as she looked at the wizards, "And you, Dakota. I though you were better than this."
"But, Sel-ow!" She grabbed my hair and started pulling me, "Hair hair hair!"
"Follow me," she said as she rounded a corner. The wizards followed as she led us into a room. Apparently it was her's and Lane's room in the palace. She pushed me on the bed as she rubbed her head and walked around the room as the wizards sat down next to me.
"Dakota, you don't know how much danger you're in now. Do you understand the words do not come to the Vampiric Dimension!"
"Well, I thought-"
"You were not thinking, Dakota. Listen to me and listen good. Matlin does not know who you you are, remember? She hasn't seen you in 10 years. What if Cross finds out?"
"Let me talk!" She glared at me, "Sorry for yelling, but I wanted to see my sister. Even if she doesn't remember me."
"What's their cut of the deal?" She looked at the wizards and bared her fangs and breathed in and out. She quickly grabbed a glass and chucked it at a wall, chattering it to pieces.
"Answer me."
I started stuttering because, well, she scared me, "They wanna-" Ogron covered my mouth so all that was heard than muffled words. She looked at me worriedly as Ogron continued for me.
"She was going to say that we wanna meet the prince and princess of the Vampiric Dimension. Right, Dakota?" I could see past his disguise if I wanted to, but I didn't allow myself because his vampire form was really scary when he's mad. He moved his hand.
"Yeah, that's what I was going to say, but what would happen if Cross found out?"
Selene covered her mouth with her hand and sat down in a chair slowly. She mumbled some words and crouched on the ground. She slid her hand under her dresser until it went up to her shoulder.
"Got it." She slowly pulled out a jar of something red. It looked like gel so I tried to take it, but she pulled her hand away.
She shook her head, "Prince Cross is in love with Matlin, that's why he didn't kill her that day."
"..Dad told me my mom was killed, were you there?" She shook her head.
"Only Matlin and the royal family were there. When I got here, she told me everything and told me to leave and she would meet up with me outside."
The wizards moved out of the way as she sat on the bed, so I sat next to her, "Can you tell me what happened?"
She looked down at the battle, "Take this, its too late for me anyways."
"What does it do?"
"Its an antidote to vampire venom. When a vampire bites you, you take a bit of this and put it on the bite mark and, well, lemme show you."
She stood up and beckoned for Duman to stand up, and when he did, she forced him to his knees and bent his neck.
"Stay," she demanded as she opened the jar.
"Is this going to hurt?"
She smiled at him, showing her very sharp fangs, "You're cute. Of course its going to hurt." She snapped her fingers and a towel appeared in her hand. She quickly bent down and bit his neck, but before he screamed, she wrapped something around his mouth, ceasing the noise.
"Don't move," she took some of the gel on her finger and rubbed it on her bite mark. I could see the bite mark disappearing, but she quickly put the towel on it.
"And that's how you use it, okay?" She took the towel off of Duman and helped him stand up, "You okay?" She was laughing as she screwed the cap back on the jar and put it in my messenger bag.
"I've been better," Duman sat in the chair that Selene was sitting in earlier.
"Anyways, that gel has a formula I put it in when I left for this dimension. It soaks into the skin and then it rises with the venom on top, so it goes to the top of your skin, causing the mark to disappear, so you have to clean it before the venom soaks back into your skin."
"So why didn't you just say that instead of biting me!" Duman rubbed the towel on his neck as Selene approached him dangerously and slowly, causing Duman to sink into the chair.
"I wanted you to feel the terrible experience that Matlin and I had to endure as kids. Its not very nice to impersonate a vampire." She slowly backed out of his face and shook her head, "What it feels like to become a monster. Doesn't feel so good does it?"
I put my hand on her shoulder and she rested her hand on top of mine, "Do you really know what would happen to you if Cross knew you were Matlin's sister? Every detail?"
"Every detail." I reassured her as she sat in her window sill.
"First, he would drink your blood, then he would have some of his warriors deliver your body to the Lycan Dimension as our yearly peace offering and they would eat your meat. Lastly, the royal family of the Vampirics and the Lycanthropes would set your body to flames."
I looked at her in horror, "Yep, that's how in love with her he is. That's my creepy definition of love, its terrible. But she loves him too, and until now, he has never needed to do that."
"Hm, that's what Valtor said the definition of love is too. Wait, you said she loves him too?"
Selene nodded as she picked up a glass shard from the floor, "It seems that she fell in love with him over the years."
"And you fell in love with Lane?"
Selene smiled as she looked out the window and at Lane who was at his post at the front of the castle, "Pretty much. After he bit me, he took care of me, and I fell for his charm I guess. You know what," she stood up and took my hands in hers, "I'll help you see her."
My face brightened, "Really? You would do that for me?"
She curtsied to me, "I have to be honest to the Princess of Olympia, don't I? Besides, it will give me a chance to teach you all how to be a vampire."
"And how will you do that?" Gantlos said as he stood up, and Selene turned to him.
"Easy. You get permission from the prince and princess to stay here in the palace and I'll take care of the rest."
"Why should we listen to you?" Anagan said as the rest of them stood up from the bed.
Normal POV
Selene's eyes narrowed at Anagan and she, out of no where, grabbed his shirt collar and pulled him down to face her.
"You see that broken glass cup over there?" He nodded, "If you don't do what I say, that glass cup will be you. Any more questions? I'm a very reasonable person." She pushed his collar back like Dakota had done to Danny.
"Put this on, Dakota." Selene rummaged through her closet and pulled out a red silk dress with black accents around the edges. Dakota gaped at it, "Gorgeous, I know, just put it on."
"In front of them?" Dakota cautiously looked around at the wizards as she took the dress.
Selene rolled her eyes and snapped her fingers, "There, happy?" Dakota looked down at the dress that was now on her body. It was a perfect fit.
"Selene, this is gorgeous. I can't take this."
"Are you really gonna take it off?" Selene indicating with her hand that the wizards were still in the room.
"No, but what will you wear?" Selene poked through her closet again as she pulled out another dress, but it was black and went to her knees. With a snap of her fingers, it replaced her other dress. She reached in Dakota's dress pocket and pulled out the note. She placed it in Dakota's messenger purse and fixed her hair.
"If you haven't noticed, everyone in this dimension is living great. Well, the people who stay at the palace live the best. You have to look suitable to see a prince nonetheless a princess, don't you think?"
"Okay, you both look beautiful now can we go?" Valtor said as he tapped his paw.
"This proves two things. One, guys are more impatient than girls. Two, vampires are cuter than wizards will ever be." Selene said as she flipped her dark red hair in Valtor's face as she walked out of the room.
"You got that right, Selene." Dakota said as the wizards followed them out of the room and shut the door. They walked through the corridor of the palace as Selene gave them instructions on what to do.
"Bow until they tell you to rise, okay? And don't mention who you are. You can say your name, but don't say anything about being her sister, got it...Dakota."
Dakota rolled her eyes as Selene opened giant doors that revealed the throne room. There were two big thrones, one slightly bigger than the other and a lot of room.
"Stay here until the arrive and when they come in you do what?"
"Bow until told to rise," Ogron said annoyingly.
"And what do you not mention?"
"Anything about sibling or family," Valtor said as he crossed his arms.
"Good, I won't lose my head." Suddenly there were trumpets sounding through the halls. Selene rushed over to the smaller throne chair and stood up straight and properly.
A moment later, the giant doors opened to reveal to people in dressy, expensive clothing, and crowns...
