It was ninety years later and Raina was still extremely beautiful. She wore a long, blood red dress, which brought great attention to her voluptuous chest. A diamond necklace glittered around her neck.
She stood in her room; the others were awaiting Amelia's arrival. Raina felt nervous, she had never met Amelia before. She fiddled with her necklace when she heard loud applause down in the parlor. Raina sighed and dropped onto her bed. She closed her eyes and toyed with her hair. She opened her eyes only to see two hazel eyes looking back at her.
Raina squealed and leapt off the bed. Diana snorted with laughter as Raina growled at her, "What the hell are you doing?" she snapped at the Greek vampiress.
"Lighten up Raina. You have to come down and see Amelia."
Raina swatted at Diana's arm as she walked out of the room. Diana laughed again, eyeing her. The two vampires trotted down the hall. A lusty male voice suddenly rang down the hall, "Mm hm ... Raina you look delicious. How about you and I slip away for a carnal episode?"
Raina gagged quietly and Diana sniggered softly. She turned to face Ricardo; an Italian vampire who thought Raina was a goddess.
She wrinkled her nose in disgust, "Eeww no thanks. I'm still a virgin and I'm not going to throw my purity out the window for you!"
Diana laughed loudly as Ricardo blanched. He glared at Raina and stomped away. The two vampires continued their walk down to Amelia's chamber as Raina grumbled, 'can't believe Ricardo still thinks he has a chance with me!"
"I can't believe Ricardo actually believed you are still a virgin! And as for why he likes you its because you're still young and you're really pretty."
Raina gasped and smacked Diana's arm playfully, then shook her head grinning, "Tell Ricardo I'm not a virgin and I'll kill you!" she laughed. They approached Amelia's chamber and Raina began to tremble from nerves. A crowd of vampires blocked their way and Raina and Diana saw Dmitri standing before the crowd. He nodded at Raina and Diana,
"Clear a path for Lady Raina and Lady Diana" he ordered.
Raina and Diana walked towards Dmitri and Raina felt sure she would pass out from nerves. Dmitri smiled, a rare thing for him, at Raina, "Are you nervous?"
"Very" Raina whispered.
Dmitri laughed and held open the door for Raina. She slipped through the doorway and walked into Amelia's chamber.
Amelia sat on a chair situated on a platform. She looked into Raina's blue eyes with her green ones. Raina dropped onto one knee and bowed her head. She got to her feet and, cowering slightly, looked at Amelia.
Amelia looked Raina over, "So you must be Raina. You came here as a child correct?"
"Yes Milady".
"I regret that I missed out on you growing up but you sound as though you have been taught our ways quite well. I hear you are a skilled fighter".
Raina smiled, "I do like to fight. I enjoy hunting lycans".
"Why is that?"
"Maybe its because I have so much sadness bottled up inside it comes out as anger".
Amelia nodded, "I heard about your family and your human friend. That: they were killed. That a lycan almost killed you".
Raina nodded sadly. Amelia frowned and cocked her head, still looking at Raina, "You aren't a Death Dealer yet are you?"
Raina shook her head, "No but I'd love to. Its my ambition". Raina studied Amelia; she was extremely beautiful with black hair tied in a bun at the back of her head. Flashing green eyes and porcelain white skin. She looked cold, as though she rarely smiled or laughed. Raina had to admit that intimidated her a bit.
"That's a good ambition to have. How would you like to accompany myself and several other Death Dealers on a hunt?" Amelia asked, startling Raina.
Raina beamed, "I'd love that".
Amelia smiled, "In two nights time its a full moon. We will go then".
Raina nodded, "I'm looking forward to it immensely Milady".
Amelia continued to smile, "That is all. On your way out could you tell Dmitri to summon the Death Dealers?"
"Certainly: Milady". Raina quickly exited the chamber and gave Dmitri the message. She strolled up to her room and collapsed on her bed. That wasn't so bad she thought to herself.
