Crystal Love
A/N: This story is taking place during medevil times.(you know, the times of Kings and Queens? King Aurthur?)
Chapter Two
The sun shone it's warm rays into the room. They landed thier warm fingers on Crystal's face. Crystal got up, yawned and expected to see the other kids, but soon relised that it was saturday and the other children were out playing. She went down the long winding steps of the orphanage.
She got outside, and saw all the children playing ball, but bypassed them, and went to her reading spot. Her reading spot, was a short tree, a young one to be exact. There was more than enough shade to keep her cool, and the grass, was extra soft. But the thing she liked most about it, was that no one bothered her here. She couldn't hear much noise either. It was always her and her books. She always brought an apple with her. She either stole it from the kitchen, or she saved it from her last lunch. Either way, she always made sure she had one by saturday.
But something unusal happened that day. As she sat down, she could have sworn she heard something say "OW!" She knew it certainly wasn't her. But she shrugged it off, and decied it was just her imagination. She scooched over a bit, to make her self comfortable. There it was again. Only louder this time. "OOOWWWWW!!!" she definetly knew now that someone had said that. She jumped up. "Who's here? Show yourself! I demand you to reveal your where abouts! This isn't funny!" she demaned. She felt a tug on her skirt. "Excuse me mam"
She looked down. "I was the one you heard" a voice said. Crystal looked down. "Wha-" said Crystal speechless. "Go ahead. Scream. I'm a talking bat" he sighed. "There. Happy?" Crystal stared at the creature.
It was a dark, scraggly bat that looked rather tired, and it was talking!
"Is my mind playing tricks on me? Or do I see a talking rodent standing before me?"
"No. You see a bat before you. Now mam, if you wouldn't mind, I can't survive in the sunlight. Would you kindly, take me someplace dark?"
Feeling some strange pity for the creature, she picked it up and took it to the darkest place she knew. Her closet. She ran through the field, past the kids, up the winding stai case into the room which she shared with twenty other children She quickly ran to the closet, put him in there, and slammed the door shut.
"You know, it is rather.....dirty in here" said the bat. "Hey, I don't have to do this for you. I could take you back in the sun and..." "NO!" pleaded the little gremlin from inside the closet. "This is fine. I can manage."
"Okay." said Crystal. "I'll be gone until nightime. Try not to make to much nosie"
"Oh don't worry. I'll be as silent as a bloody mouse."he said. Crystal left her room, and ran to the stairs. Suddenly a hand grasped her shoulder preventing her from moving.
"Crystal! I've been looking all over for you! Where have you been?" Crystal sighed. It was just her friend Samantha. Samantha, was Crystal's only female friend in the whole orphanage. Every other girl thought of Crystal as a "Freak" or "Un-ladylike". Samantha didn't. Samantha was a pretty girl. She had long black hair that she wore in a ponytail constantly. She also had hazelnut eyes. She was an orphan from germany. As nice as Samantha was, she was still like Fredrick. She didn't beileve the stories that Crystal told her about "Vampires"
Samantha didn't tell Crystal that she was a freak, but she did explain to Crystal that Vampires didn't exist. Crystal refused to beileve such a thing. She always said "Magic happens, Samantha. But if you don't beileve in it, you will never see it " Often Samantha would just drop it there and move on to a new subject. No one could understand exactly what made Crystal and Samantha so inseaprable, they just were.
"Crystal you know tonight is Jessica's birthday party don't you?" Crystal rolled her eyes. "Oh yes. How can I forget. Her majesty's party." Said Crystal sarcasticly. "So, are you going?" asked Sam. "Oh sure. Just like I wouldn't miss watching two old men play checkers for two hours" Said Crystal. "Crystal, I know that you don't like Jessica, but just being seen at the party can get you quite a reputation you know."
If there was one thing that described Samantha, it was following the crowd. Samantha always followed the most popular girl in the orphanage(Jessica) around where ever she went. Crystal knew that Jessica proably didn't give a care about samantha, but she could never convince Samantha to beileve that.
Crystal on the other hand, didn't like Jessica one bit. She wasn't planning to go to her birthday either.
Later, as soon as the moon hung silently in the sky, Jessica's party started and it was really loud. Crystal slinked away inside the orphanage and to her closet where the bat was waiting. Crystal knocked on the door.
"I'm here." she sighed. She heard a yawn then the sound of falling and finally a voice. "It's night already? My, well I must be going now" This time the voice sounded diffrent. It sounded rich, pure and sweet. "But I must warn you. My apprence can be frightning." said the smooth voice.
"Oh how bad can it be? You're just a bat!" And before the creature could say another warning, Crystal had opened the closet door. She gasped. This was no bat. It was a boy. A very mystical boy.
His face was as pale and white as fallen snow. It was glowing in the moonlight. His hair was rather messy, but what made it so nice, and deep is that it was jet black. His eyes were red. But not in a bad way. They glimmered like rubies in hidden snow. He was so bueatiful. Crystal was strangley attracted to him. She looked deep in his eyes as if she was caught in a spell. A spell Crystal wanted to be caught in.
"What is it?" said the boy. Crystal jerked her eyes away as if she snapping out of a deep trance. "Nothing" she said looking away. The boy put his fingers up to her chin. His touch seeped through her, making her heart race. He tilted her chin slightley to look at her. "My....you have bueatiful eyes. Blue, like a sapphire or a crystal" Crystal smiled a little. He took his hands away and headed for the window. He looked out in to the night sky. "Whats your name?" he asked. Crystal hesitated for a moment. "My name is...Crystal" she said.
The boy closed his eyes and smiled. "Crystal" he said. As if he were tasting the most richest and sweetest chocolate in the whole world.
"My name is Rudolph" he said smiling. "Tis' a pleasure to meet thee" whispred Crystal. He turned his gaze back to the night sky. "Crystal..." he said.
"Yes?
"Come with me"
Crystal was unsure. She had never gotten to know this boy fully to trust him.
"Where are we going?" she asked. Rudolph grinned. "You'll see. Take my hand" Crystal wearily held out her hand to him.
"Come. Stand with me here" he said. He took her hand and she stood next to him. "Close your eyes.....make a wish....." She closed her eyes. She felt her feet leaving the ground, and wind rushing past her. "You can open them now." he said. She opened her eyes. They were both flying! Soaring in midair. "Wha-what's happening?" she asked. "Relax. You won't get hurt. Just don't let go of me."
In firght, she came close to him, and grabbed his shoulders, hugging herself to him. They were now, in a standing postion, still soaring though. Crystal's hair blillowed around her face and Rudolph. She looked at him. She soon relised what she was doing.
"Oh...I'm sorry" she said.
"Don't be" he said. "It's alright"
He smiled at her. She suddenly saw fangs amoung his teeth. She gasped.
"You're not a human at all...you're.....you're a....vampire!
