Silent Love:
I lay still under the covers. My breath was barely a whisper as I heard the bedroom door open. The figure moved to my bed, I faked sleep. It cackled evilly, and sunk it's fangs into my neck. I screamed as a white hot pain came over me, and I fainted. I woke next morning to my twin sister, Tanya, holding my hand and crying. I groaned, the pain in my neck hurt like hell. At first I did not remember last night's events, but in a second it all came back to me. "Linda! You're awake! How are you feeling?" Tanya beamed at me. "Horrible, duh. What was that thing that bit me?" I replied, stretching out. "A Vampire, apparently Allie left the door unlocked." Allie was our maid. "A Vampire...uh-oh! Now I become a Vampire too!" I started crying. "There, there. It's going to be alright. Just stay calm, and we'll get through." She hugged me, and our heads of curly tawny hair mingled together. She stared at me. I stared back. I saw the same waist length tawny curls, startling emerald green eyes with the long black eyelashes, and the exact same peachy skin. I stood up. "Did anyone else get bitten?" I asked, stumbling over to my dresser. By "us" I meant our mother, Kristen, and our father, Stewart Bridges. "No, are you okay?" She walked up next to me and leaned on a shelf. "As okay as I'll ever be." I responded, pulling on a tank top and jeans. "Damn!" I looked at her clothes. She wore the same worn out blue jeans, black tank top and white sneakers. Somehow we always managed to wear the same clothes, even without planning on it. "Oops." She smiled apologetically. If you don't get it yet, let me explain: I live in Cyst, Kyrria. Yes, we have a Queen, King, and HOT Prince. Plus, I have a twin sister. And I am now a Vampire. Get it? We walked downstairs. I slumped into a chair. Before I could say a word of protest, Tanya dragged me outside and onto the garden bench. "What was that for?" I asked, stretching out. "You'll never guess who I met!" Tanya sounded…dreamy? "Since when is my tomboy sister sound dreamy?" I raised an eyebrow. "Since I met our prince!" She exclaimed. She took my hand in hers, and said in soft tones, "I'm engaged to the Prince Tod of Kyrria! I met him at the ball last night! He was so nice…and, well you get the point." My stomach plummeted. I didn't go to the ball, I had been sick. "…And I want you to be my maid of honor!" Tanya was gushing. I felt sick. I liked the prince, but who didn't? But I felt my liking deeper than crush. Maybe…love? I couldn't go to the wedding, see the man I supposedly loved be wed to my own twin! Somehow I felt I had been betrayed from Tanya. "Uh…Tanya, I already have plans on that date. I'm sorry" I lied. Tanya first looked deeply hurt, than mad as a Ram who had been provoked. "What could be more important than your own twins wedding? I thought I was your sister! I thought you would be happy for me!" She yelled, her face going red as blood. "You are, it's just…I'm moving to Byst, Nyrria on that day, and it's the only day I'll be able to move" I lied again. The lye just came out, but I knew in my heart I had to leave behind the pain that tore my heart. Her look softened. "I understand. I'm sorry" Tanya apologized. "Me too," I thought, " I'm sorry your getting married!"
