(I saw the Cirque Du Freak movie and they changed it ALOT. It kinda pissed me off =/ They made my Gavner-Poo ugly!! *sob**sniff*)
Roma felt the red mark in the shape of a hand on her face. She chuckled bitterly to herself.
"That's what you get when you call people names." She didn't even see his hand coming,
Of course I couldn't see it, I'm blind.
She was in her father's room. Gavner was infuriated when he saw the big red mark. Roma told him not to overreact about it and tried to calm down. But once the big man is angry, he'll rampage like a rhino.
Gavner came bustling in and murmuring to himself, "How dare him, that son of a bitch…"
"Father, what did you do?"
Gavner's nostrils flared like a bull's. "I swear to the gods, I could not get near him…"
"It wasn't him, Father." Roma said softly.
"Then who?" Her father turned his face and looked at her with big round eyes. When Roma sees him in her dreams, she thinks of him as handsome. When she touched his brunette hair, it felt so soft. He stood majestically in the dreams she had of him.
Like a mighty warrior.
"…No one, Father. Let's just drop it, please." Roma begged her father.
He growled but didn't say anything.
"Father, I…I don't think I can be someone's assistant."
Gavner was in shock, "What? But you always t-told me how you wanted to become a General, a-and h-h-how you wanted to be an assistant…"
"Father, I'm blind." She said tearfully, "What kind of vampire would I make if I try to save someone and I end up falling or something?" Though Roma could sense when something was in her way (kind of like Jaypaw from Warriors =^.^=), she never told her father that.
"How can you say that? Oh Roma," He father stepped towards her and placed a large hand on her shoulder, "Roma, if you try, you could do whatever you want."
Roma snorted, "Yeah right."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Roma stop."
"Why? You know I'm never going to be a General. Never."
Gavner flinched at this and lowered his eyes. "Roma..."
"I'M BLIND. A BLIND vampire can never save the day. A BLIND vampire can never survive. A BLIND..." Roma buried her face in her hands and started to sob. "I-I'm going to bed. Goodnight."
With that Roma went to her room.
Roma woke up that morning feeling angry and tired. She stretched her arms over her head as she gets up.
"My Gods, I'm so freakin' tired today."
Something fluttered past her head and she narrowed her eyes, "Stupid bats."
Roma shook her head and walked out of her room. She remembered what happened yesterday with Darren Shan. How she called him a hypocrite and he smacked her...Good ol' times, huh? Roma felt her cheek and winced. It still hurt.
Roma walked down caverns of halls towards the Hall of Princes.
Training today. How does that feel, Roma? Going to get smacked again?
A little voice nagged in Roma's mind.
"Hi Roma."
Roma turned around and standing there was Crystal Henderson.
Crystal was a pretty woman, full of spirit and happiness. She was liked by many of vampire men.
"Hi Crystal."
"How was your training yesterday?"
Roma gulped, she didn't want to tell anyone about the 'Darren incident.'
"Fine. How about you?"
Crystal grimaced, "That Arra Sails is a brutal woman."
"Gods I feel bad for you."
"You're lucky! You get a hot, sexy vampire teacher, and he's a PRINCE. Can you believe that?"
Sure it is. Roma thought bitterly.
"Hey, I gotta go, OK? See you later."
The two women said their good byes and headed their own ways.
Roma finally came to the Halls of Princes. She felt a rush of energy run through her body. Only one door was open this time. Roma felt her way through the door, "Sire?"
Someone shifted and Roma heard footsteps coming towards her, "Roma..." A deep voice rumbled. Darren came up to her and gently touched the red mark on her cheek. Roma winced and moved away.
"Roma, I'm not gonna hurt you."
"Why should I believe that? You didn't hold back yesterday."
Darren made a frustrated sound and Roma could tell he was trying to hold himself from smacking her again.
"I know what I said and did was wrong-"
"You think?"
"Roma!" Darren hissed, "The first lesson, don't cut your teacher off!"
Roma was silenced by the statement.
Darren sighed, "I'm sorry, I really am. All the things I said yesterday, you know...about hurting you...I didn't mean it. I..."
"You what?" Roma stepped closer to him, only for him to step back.
"Nothing, just nothing." Darren cast his eyes down, wanting to avoid Roma's sightless eyes.
"Oh sire..." Roma wrapped her arms around Darren's muscular waist. His jaw stiffened and his breathing was suddenly irregular. He was trying not to lose it. The presence of the beautiful vampire was enough, but her touching him...
No, he didn't like her. He wanted nothing to do with her.
"Roma, let go of me."
"Urk! Hey!" Roma grunted as Darren pushed her away. He turned away from her.
"Another lesson, don't touch your teacher." With that he was gone. Roma stood there with mouth agape.
"Hypocrite..."
