I am ALIVE! I have not died yet!

Firstly I want to say that I am very sorry for not updating these past three weeks! The first two weeks I had completely forgotten that I needed to study for exams! So for the next two horrible weeks I had to study for the exams- to which I had passed (YAY!)- And then when I was going to start up the chapter, I had realized that I still needed to do some last minute/final christmas shopping and so on and so forth.

My last reason for being absent was because I had bought Kingdom Hearts 2.5 and that just took up a lot of my time... I was super into the game that I lost track of everything else. I disappeared, I am sorry.

I tried to make this chapter as long as I could to make sense and all, and to have reached over 100 reviews! Thank you everyone for liking my story and supporting it through the chapters! I am very happy to have all of your support to continue this story! Thank you very much!

Also I went back to the last chapter and changed some words. 'With Tooth and Elsa talking before the ball, I changed 'three thousand to four hundred' because I don't know what the hell I was thinking when I put that there.

A bit of a warning, not all of what I put is actual vampire facts, just used some minors things twisted around to fit into the story, but there is some actual history that's been switched around and stuff... Yeah Enjoy!

Chapter 6:
Revelation

Jack stared at the woman who had just given her life to him. Though he could see the sadness that already plagued her, she has accepted. A small part of him was a little disappointed that she won't be putting up a fight against him, but with the sudden arise of war between two dominate species he supposed it would make it easier on him to get her to willingly do as he says.

His eyes traveled down from her face to the curve of her neck. The bruise on her neck was fading away but he could see the bite mark he had permanently imprinted on her skin.

Looking past her, he walked towards the large window. He flipped the small lock then opened both frames, he sat on the windowsill propping his leg up. Leaning back on the frame, Jack reached up to his neck and removed the cravat, he popped the top button of his shirt revealing his neck and collarbone. He took a calm breath in and stared at the moon, the only light to never harm him and his coven.

He turned his attention back to the woman sitting on the bed. She watched him with a small hint of curiousness and confusion. Jack raised his hand and beckoned her over. "Come here."

Confused and a bit hesitant, Elsa did as she was told. She rose from the bed walking a few steps towards the man on the window. He motioned for her to sit on the small chair in front of the window, so she sat quietly as the vampire before her returned his attention to the sky.

Elsa sat quietly as the silence surrounded the two, she was a bit uncomfortable being so close to him. She couldn't help but fiddle with her dress between her fingers, as silence never really bothered her before it was making her anxious at the moment. As the it becoming a bit more of a problem for her, Elsa thought of something to say however, Jack had beaten her to it. She breathed a sigh of relief.

"The moon is the only light that does not harm us."

Elsa stared at his face, the moonlight gleamed on his pale face but it also cast a shadow as well, the light defined his features and made his blue eyes shine. "Why is that?" She asked softly.

"It started with my father." Jack snorted. "I don't know much about his human life, just after he became a vampire." He turned his attention to the woman who sat properly with her back straight and hands on her lap. "My father was once in Greece, for reasons I do not know of however, he had angered the Greek Sun God Apollo and in his fit of rage, he cursed my father so that his skin were to burn if he had ever touched sunlight again. The next curse came with Apollo's sister, the Greek Goddess of Moon and Hunting, Artemis, who had made it that my father's skin would burn if he touched silver, however, she had taken pity on my father, so she gave him immortality to live his curse but she had also given him speed and strength of a hunter only second to her's." Jack stared at the expression Elsa was making, he was slightly surprised to find that she had a curious look and awe as well. "As you can see, Sun God Apollo refuses to shine his sun over our home, and Moon Goddess Artemis blesses us with her moonlight."

Elsa looked at him with piqued curiosity and eyes full of interest.

Was she truly interested in this? That intrigued him for some strange reason.

"So that's how it is..." She mumbled to herself, but she was had an interest to learn more. She looked straight at Jack with more interest on her eyes as she waited for him to continue. Elsa saw in his eyes that he seemed amused though she wasn't sure why. "So your father wasn't exactly the most... brightest I assume?" She worried for a moment that she may have insulted him, but to her surprised he chuckled.

"As a human, my father was probably the most stupid to make Greek Gods angry, but then again he used his curses to his advantage."

At first, Elsa was a bit hesitant to ask a question, but she went ahead anyway. "Um... I have heard that you... Killed your father..." Elsa saw his expression become passive again, hiding away his emotions. With a bit more courage she continued. "Why would you kill your own father?"

Jack moved his attention back to the moon. "This place is called Transylvania which resides in the country of Romania." Elsa's eyes widen in shock. She was in a different country? One so far away from her home? If she had been able to escape, there was definitely no way she could have gone back on her own. Jack continued. "My father's name was Vlad Dracul. The name 'Dracul' means 'Son of Dragon' in Romanian, so he took it upon himself to become known as Dracula.

"Transylvania was on the frontier of two great empires, the Ottoman Turks and the Austrian Hapsburgs. My father was imprisoned by the Turks, who hauled him away with chains, and then later by the Hungarians. In 1448, my father ruled Walachia and Transylvania, during this time father gained the name Vlad Tepes, which means 'Vlad the Impaler'. His favorite method of torture was to impale people and leave them to writhe in agony, often for days. Usually as a warning to others, the bodies would stay impaled on rods as vultures and ravens would eat the rotting flesh. During one battle, Father retreated into nearby mountains, impaling people as he went. The Turkish advance was halted because the sultan could not bear the stench from the decaying time. I have seen him eaten a meal on a table set up outside amidst hundreds of impaled victims. On occasion he has even eaten bread dipped in blood."

Elsa was paled, nausea welled up inside her. The story of Dracula was horrid, it was gross, and it was terrible. She never would have thought that such a person would have existed, but she had been isolated in a peaceful kingdom. The world was much more cruel then she could have ever imagine.

"My father had grown mad with power, he had just about killed anything in front of him." Jack frowned. "I do not know how the werewolves came to be nor do I care to find out, though we had never agreed with each other, we had kept out of each other's territories since we are both powerful species, but my father killed the strongest of werewolves, killed the humans and even killed some of our kin. He was too deep into his insanity that he had even tried to kill me. As his son, I was to rule after him whenever he decided to go into his sleep, however, instead of seeing me as his son he saw me as a threat to bring him down, thus him trying to kill me.

"I refused to be part his onslaught nor did I want any others to. So I had made plans to bring my father down, those closest to me had join my regime. I knew I wasn't strong enough to take my father down on my own, so I had created a distraction while some other had willingly become bait to lure my father's attention from me. So when the most opportune moment had come, I behead Vlad the Impaler, Dracula."

Elsa stared wide eyed at Jack. Though he didn't say it, she could clearly understand what he did was not just for himself but also for his coven. Guess he was capable of caring after all.

Jack raised an eyebrow as he stared flatly at her. It was a moment later that Elsa realized that she had said that out loud, and he had heard. Her face immediately flushed with embarrassment as she looked anywhere other than him. The vampire smirked at her with eyes filled with mirth. She was embarrassed and he was determined to stretch out the silence to make her uncomfortable.

Shifting uncomfortably under his gaze, Elsa hopped that Jack would say something but apparently he was set with silence so she asked the first thing that came to mind. "Why do vampires not have a reflection?" Though her cheeks were only slightly pink, she was still curious about it

Shifting a bit so that he could sit a little straighter, he answered. "We are considered undead. With no soul so our reflection cannot be seen." Jack's smirk slightly lifted higher when Elsa stared surprised wide eyes at him.

"S-So you are dead... But you are alive... Right here..." Elsa was having a rather confusing time processing what he meant. Her eyes still wide but she was zoned into herself that she had forgotten that Jack was still in front of her.

Unbeknownst to her Jack's smirk was widening as he watched her lose focus on him. Jack slowly reached out near her, his hand was hovering for just a few seconds before he brought it down to the windowsill, hard. The loud bang made Elsa flinched visibly, she yelped in surprise.

Gathering herself Elsa glared at Jack, he had a smug look on his face and that irked her. She crossed her arms over her chest, then an idea came to mind. She inwardly smirked to herself but kept her face looking like she was upset, after all she didn't want him to read her like an open book. Suddenly his gaze sifted to her neck, Elsa immediately tensed when she noticed a change in his eyes. They appeared darker and looked hazed. Elsa became a bit worried be she forced herself to calm down, he wasn't focusing on her anymore and the opportunity presenting itself was right in front of her, so she secretly began forming snow on her hand. Just at it was the right size in her hand she quickly flung it at his face.

Elsa couldn't help the satisfying smile on her face when she heard his startled grunt. Wiping the snow off his face, Jack stared wide eyed at the woman for a brief moment before he narrowed his eyes. Elsa's smile dropped as she noticed the dangerous glint in his eyes, she did not feel satisfied anymore, only worry.

With the dangerous look in his eyes came a growing smirk on his face and she had the impulse to run from him, so she did. Though she did not get very far as she only made it beside the bed. Arms wrapped around her waist holding her still, and his chest on her back. Despite her situation, Elsa felt the warmth creeping on her cheeks again as this was the third time she was bodily close to a man.

Jack leaned his head down to her ear. "Why what ever is wrong your Highness? It seemed liked you wanted to play a moment ago. Is that not the case now?" He murmured into her ear which caused her to shiver. She did not say anything and he didn't say anything. Jack frowned when felt something warm? Was it warmth he was feeling? He has never felt warmth before so he wasn't sure. It only took him a second to realize the warmth was coming from her. Even thought she could use the cold, and probably was use to the cold, she felt warm.

He could feel her struggling just a bit in his arms. He might have been holding onto her for a while but he wasn't sure since his focus was elsewhere. Jack loosened his hold on her but he didn't let go of her, instead he turned her around so the she was facing him. He no longer had that glint in his eyes but his gaze was back on her neck. Elsa noticed that his eyes were quickly darkening, turning from that brilliant shade of blue to a bright yet dark crimson red.

His hand grasped her chin, tilting her head back so that her neck was more exposed. He leaned down just a bit but paused when small trembling hands wrapped around his arm.

"Please don't." Elsa pleaded quietly. Her hands reached higher to grab his to move it from her chin. "It will be painful... I... I don't want feel the pain again." She stared at his eyes, fear evident in her own.

Jack looked at the small woman in his arms, he slowly moved his hand away from her grasp, he brushed his fingers lightly against her cheek then he threaded his finger through her hair to cup the back of her neck.

He leaned down a little closer to her face. "It's instinctive to react to pain, but in due time that pain will fade." He said quietly. Tilting her head slightly Jack leaned down to her neck. She instinctively placed her hands on his chest as if to push him but Elsa knew it was futile to even try, he wouldn't move. She was tense and trembling. "If you're this tense, it will only be more painful. Relax your muscles, it will be less painful then."

The blood underneath her skin was strong and intoxicating, Jack controlled himself from biting her so that she could put herself at ease but he was having a bit of a hard time. The scent of her blood was beginning to flood his senses so he forced himself to stop breathing.

Elsa knew it was inevitable, he was going to bite her again. She tried to relax like he said but she couldn't do it, she was scared of the pain that will follow, scared of how much blood she will lose it was making her shake. Her heart was pounding loudly that even she could hear it. She felt Jack tighten his hold on her, around her waist and on her neck. She was confused but then she felt him tensing, only then did she realize that he was waiting for her to relax, and it occurred to her that he was starting to struggle from doing so.

A conversation from the dance they shared had Elsa remembering that vampires needed to live too, and in order for them to live they needed blood. The last time Jack had taken blood from her was a few days ago and Elsa wondered if he went that long without blood or if he found another to take blood from, but if he was here struggling to hold himself from biting her, then he probably went those days without it.

Elsa raised her hands from his chest to his shoulders, she lifted them up a little further to hold herself steady for what was to come. She closed her eyes and took deep breaths through her nose and mouth. After a few breaths her hands tightened around his shoulder. "Okay," She whispered. "You can now."

Jack's hold on her tighten considerably, he hugged her body close as he bit down on her neck. The blood poured out and he quickly began to suck on the red liquid, the blood swirled around his mouth landing on every taste bud on his tongue then is smoothly went down his throat. He felt himself in euphoria once more as the blood heighten his senses so much that he wanted very much more, but he did not force the blood any further. He removed his teeth from her neck to stop anymore blood from leaving her body, though he did not leave her neck alone. Jack traced his tongue on her neck, licking anywhere the rest of her blood may have dripped, he vaguely felt her shiver as he licked where he had bitten her, blood was still dripping from his bite and he greedily drank it, savoring the taste it went down his throat.

When all the blood was clean from her neck, Jack leaned back to look at the panting woman in his arms. He didn't take as much blood as the first time but she was still going to weak and light headed. Her hold on him was weak, her fingers that gripped his shirt were loose and her legs were just about to give out on her. Jack's arm wrapped firmly around her waist to keep her up, his other hand on her neck moved to her back to hold her steady.

He waited a few minutes for her to get her bearings back. When she did, she noticed that his lips were slightly red. Elsa blinked a few times before she finally looked at Jack. They quietly stared at each other before Elsa spoke.

"I didn't faint?" She asked with confusion.

"I didn't take as much blood like last time." He responded.

Elsa stepped back nodding her head, only to realize that it was a bad idea as a wave of dizziness hit her. She reached out to hold herself still as she waited for the dizziness spell to leave her. Breathing slowly, Elsa barely noticed the hands on her sides keeping her steady, she looked up at Jack, blinking in surprise as she realized her hands were on his face, and he was looking at her in amusement.

Immediately removing her hands Elsa could feel entire face warming up quickly. She tried to speak but she kept stuttering through her words which probably sounded like she was babbling nonsense if the look Jack was giving her was anything to go by. She decided to keep her mouth shut instead.

Jack had decided himself that she was feeling better if her entire face could go red and stuttering her words.

She was tired of being stuck in her chambers.

Her ankle has already healed, she could walk perfectly fine now but being confined in the same room for hours or days on end was beginning to make her fidgety. Elsa sat by the window as she boringly stared out at the darkness. Quite honestly she was getting bored doing nothing in her chambers, and staring out in the dark filled sky with the moon hanging over the land.

She was tired of seeing the dark. She missed seeing the sun and feeling the warmth on her skin.

Elsa sighed as she looked over to the doors that kept her inside. A thought suddenly occurred to her. She could end her boredom by simply walking out the door, after all no one had said she couldn't leave her chambers. Granted her only visitor had been Tooth and not even she had said anything about her not being able to wander about. And the Vampire King himself, who came to her room very few times, had yet to say anything about it either.

Neither of the two visitors had not said that she couldn't leave and explore the castle, and Jack hadn't endorsed any rules for her to follow! Not that she was willingly going to follow those rules just because she accepted to be his bride.

Elsa lightly grinned as she made her way towards the door. She gave the knob a twist, satisfied that it wasn't locked and only proving her point. The door shut behind her, she glanced both ways the stone walls lead. She had taken the right before so she decided to choose the one on her left. It was dark as usual but Elsa was a bit glad that she was getting use to the dark, it made it easier to walk these long corridors.

After walking for while, Elsa had begun to notice that she had not once seen another door or another hallway. The corridor she walked was becoming more narrow the further she went, and she had not seen another human or vampire and she wasn't sure if that was good thing or not. Elsa absent-mindedly rubbed her arms out of paranoia.

She walked a little further until she finally saw two separate hallways.

The one on her right was brighten by the torches leading the way. The one on her left had less torches, making the pathway darker. Elsa glanced both ways and weighed her options. She could go to the on her right and find something less creepy, like a library perhaps. Do vampires even read? On the other hand, if she went to the left she could likely find something creepy that could pop out at any given moment.

Against her better judgement, Elsa chose to go to the left. It's not like anything could be as bad as when she was nearly mauled in the woods.

As she walked down the dimmer corridor, she took notice that the further she went not a single window was present, it also seemed as if the corridor was getting lower and lower but it also looked it was getting darker as well, making harder for Elsa to see. The young snow woman squinted her eyes while looking around, she stopped by a low torch, after a few seconds of staring at the warm fire, she reached for it. Unfamiliar with the weight, Elsa gripped it tightly in one hand. She began walking again in a slightly slower pace, she could feel a cold wind blowing against her softly making her wonder if there was a window nearby.

It was a little while longer when Elsa took notice that there were no more torches lighting the way, it was completely dark and she could see nothing in front of her except for the little light that surrounded her by the torch she held.

Breathing deeply, Elsa took slow, cautious and careful steps. After a few paces she finally came to a door; a door made hard metal with a horizontal row of thick bolts of screws on the front. Feeling a sudden heaviness in her chest, she hesitantly reached for the nob. With a small twist the door opened widely, startling the platinum haired woman.

Leaning just slightly and pointing the torch forward, Elsa realized she had come across spiral stairs. Reaching down to grab the hem of her midnight colored gown, carefully tread down the steps one at a time. She stayed neared the wall, forcing herself not to look beside her and down below for fear that she would somehow end up falling over. It was a long way down, but she refused to go any faster then the pace was going at. As she continued to go lower, the wind she felt picked up a bit stronger, her hair danced around her face teasing her skin.

Finally after a long way down, Elsa released her dress and glanced up. She could see nothing. Tilting her head down to look in front of her, another pathway was just a few feet away from where she was standing. Staring into the dark corridor, the heaviness in her chest became worse, her heart was pounding erratically and her breathing became deep.

She just knew something ominous was just at the end of the hallway.

Walking cautiously forward, Elsa braced herself when she reached another door, this one was slightly smaller then the last one. Elsa knew something horrible was on the other side of the door and she knew she should leave while she still had the chance, but she was also curious to know what secrets the Vampire King had hidden away.

Elsa reached for the metal handle, gripping it tightly she pushed the door open with needed strength. The door opened loudly and heavily. Nearly stumbling, Elsa moved onward.

The walls carried torches this time so Elsa placed the one she was carrying down on the stone floor. She glanced around her as she walked, she saw chains on the walls both left and right, above and below. Confusion is what she felt but she kept onward, she noticed the chambers she was in was expanding much larger. She went down a few steps, seeing metal bars not to far from her. Curious enough, she gripped the bars and gave it a push, it didn't budge. She pushed harder but it did not relent.

Slightly fed up, Elsa looked around the chambers. Nothing but solid stone walls. But she didn't know that those walls could open. Elsa looked for a lock on the bars, knowing that it needed a key and that she didn't have one, she placed her hand over it and froze the lock. Placing her hands back on the bars, she gave it a strong push.

The ice worked in her favor, breaking the lock.

The bars swung open and slamming loudly against the wall. Elsa cringed slightly as she dearly hoped no one was around to hear that. Taking a quick glance behind her, Elsa quickly walked through the bars.

She was going through a very slim corridor but she felt as if she was walking through a maze with all the turns and curves. As she finally exited the 'maze' an awful rotting smell filled her nose, Elsa placed a hand over her nose and mouth. The smell churned her stomach uncomfortably, and while she breathed through her hand she tried to settle the uncomfortable feeling in her stomach taking slow breaths.

When she felt her stomach safe from lurching out anything, she walked again but kept her hand over her face. Further in she saw more bars, but these bars looked like they were meant for prisoners. The closer she got, indeed they were prison bars. Both left and right, and small spaced but each held a person yet these people didn't look good, with chains on their wrists, ankles and even neck.

These prisoners had large red and purple marks all over their bodies, blood seeped from these oddly bruise marks, strange yellow substance stained their bruised and bloody faces. Elsa shivered in fear as she noticed some had missing limbs, a crazed smile on their faces, missing an eye or both and even broken or dislocated jaw or it had been torn off entirely.

Skin was practically hanging off from torn flesh where even bone was seen, broken bone was twisted horribly. Elsa's eyes went wide when she saw few had severed heads and their heads were not to far from their bodies.

Self-mutilation. Some of them were clawing their skin, tearing through the muscle and veins, even going as far as eating their own flesh and drinking their own blood. Others had clawed their way in their stomachs, they played, crushed and even eaten their own insides

Just the sight and rancid smell was enough to make her stomach lurch again. Elsa bent forward clutching her stomach as she desperately tried to hold it in, but she had seen too much, smelled to much, her stomach lurched violently making her release the contents of her stomach.

Elsa breathed heavily as she tried to contain her unsettled stomach, but the painful churning had her vomiting once more. Stumbling a few steps back, a hand over her mouth, she looked up. Fear set place in her heart when she noticed she had the attention of every prisoner there. Eyes filled with insanity, grins stretched on their mouths they all stared at Elsa.

It was eerily quiet, then all of sudden they all jumped towards the bars. Their bodies slammed loudly against the metal, Elsa screamed as all of them tried to reach for her. Panic settled into her core, screaming again she tried to run only stumble on broken stone. It did not matter to these insane prisoners, with broken bones, hanging torn flesh, or even their insides hung on their bodies they all tried to reach for the panicked snow queen.

One grabbed the hem of her gown and forcibly pulling her closing, Elsa froze the arm quickly getting up again. The dress was torn in its grip but she did not care, ignoring the rancid smell, she lifted her dress running off in a random direction escaping from the creature that looked liked they wanted to tear her apart and eat her alive.

In her panic state mind, Elsa ran wherever she went having no sense if the direction she was running in was more dangerous or not, her only thought was to get away no matter how many times she stumbled or fell or how torn her gown now looked.

There was a door.

She tripped and rolled down a few steps of stair, ignoring the pain on her side Elsa shot up to the door. She pulled it open quickly and closing it just as fast. Elsa sunk to her knees as she cried. As she wept, she could not help but think why this was here, why had those disjointed creature been there or why hadn't she listened to her feelings about coming here when she knew it wasn't safe. With one final thought, she wondered where the vampire king was at.

Elsa knew she kind of lied to herself, her excuse to explore the castle was really meant to look for him since she could not really go anywhere without getting lost. He moves around the castle as she silently thinks to herself that he's showing her around when she has to follow him when he gives his orders to other vampires. Why couldn't she just wait for him or Tooth to go into her chambers? She could have asked, and they either one could agreed.

She desperately wanted someone with her right now. She wanted Anna to be with her. Elsa wiped her tears, standing up she shook her head. She wanted to be with her sister again but she didn't Anna to be where here.

Taking a shuddering breath, Elsa moved away from the door, deciding to look for another way out. There wasn't another way out she could find, instead she found a large open chamber, windows were way up high on the walls. The room was practically empty except for one man on his knees, thick chains on his wrists.

The man had black hair, and there marks on his body, ones that will scar. It was the first time she had ever seen a man shirtless, so full muscle.

The man looked at her, then he smirked. "Well if isn't the woman in the woods."

"...What?" She was confused. She has never met this person. Before she could even ask a question, she was roughly shoved against the wall. Elsa groaned in pain as she lay on her side. She turned her body on her stomach, lifting her head she felt dizzy all of sudden. Elsa glanced at the person who flung her to the wall. It was woman with blonde hair twisted into an odd braid over her shoulder, her eyes blue, cold and fierce. Elsa vaguely thought she should recognize this woman.

She glared hard at Elsa. "What in the Hel are you doing here?"

Elsa struggled to sit up. "I got lost..." She said quietly, but the answer didn't seem to please the woman, it seemed like it made her angry.

"That is complete crap! No human in their right would go somewhere as a place like this. Their common sense would scream danger and have them turn away, but you on the other hand must not have any common sense at all if you made your way down here, are you stupid?" The woman's words were harsh, and Elsa flinched at the tone of her voice. The blonde haired woman made her way to Elsa, gripping her by the back of her head harshly. "You made a mess back there, making those damn bastard creatures all riled up. They had to be subdued forcibly. So tell me why you're really here before I rip your head off your shoulders."

The frightening look in the woman's eyes demanded an answer right away. "I... I was looking for the Vampire Lord!"

"What do you want with him?" Her eyes narrowed as she squeezed the back of Elsa's head tightly. Elsa winced at the pain, a new wave of dizziness hit her making her unable to see clearly but she answered anyway.

"I... I wanted to- to see around the castle... I thought if I could... find him then h-he could show me..." She wasn't sure how long she could take the pain in her head.

"What makes you think you deserve that privilege from him?"

"I am... His bride." The release of her head had her dropping to the floor hard. As she lay on the floor, Elsa tentatively reached for head, softly placing her hand over the pained area. The dizzy spells were still hitting her and she didn't know why. She felt something warm going down her face, she reached for with a shaking hand, glancing at her fingers as best as she could, Elsa noticed red, and not just her hand, but on the ground as well.

Well now she knew why she was so dizzy, the side of her head was bleeding and it seemed she was bleeding a lot of blood. She felt a stomp on her back, she gasped soundly as she lost the air from her lungs.

"You are not the first human to claim to be his bride." The woman said coldly. "I really hate selfish human liars like yourself."

Elsa couldn't respond, the forced weight on her back hardly allowed any air for her to breathe. She distinctly saw something shine over eyes, peeking at the glare, her eyes went wide went she saw the shape of an ax. Slightly panicking, Elsa desperately tried to escape but the woman was to strong, and the movement she was doing was only making the pain in her head worse.

She stopped moving entirely, she couldn't focus anymore. Her vision blurred, but she closed her eyes, she didn't want to see the ax come down.

"Astrid."

The ax halted mid-air, the woman called Astrid glanced behind her. "Lord Jack."

"I do believe you are not about to harm my bride further then head damage you already given her." The white haired vampire lord made his way towards his fallen bride, a trail of frost followed behind him. Astrid removed her foot, stepping back.

"She is the reason those bastards started acting up." Astrid crossed hers in annoyance.

Jack kneeled down to Elsa, he grabbed her chin, tilting it to the side to assess the cut on her head. "I expected her to wander off and get herself into some sort of trouble, she's practically a magnet to it. I just didn't expect to her to be stupid enough to go somewhere that has nothing to light the way and practically screams danger to the human mind. However, it seems she just ignored that and went her way, it's rather annoying." Jack released her chin, he stared at her trying to fight off unconsciousness.

Astrid stared at him for a few seconds. "So you're not bothered at all that you had to use your powers to handle those bastards?"

Jack sighed. "Those 'bastards' are still our kind."

"Yes, but they gave into lunacy."

Jack sighed once more, he lifted Elsa into his arms nudging her awake. "I am a little bothered to waste energy on something so damn trivial, but they needed to be put down anyway. She just gave me a reason to do it." Jack nudged Elsa awake again. "Hey, if you fall asleep you'll die."

Jack walked passed Astrid, leaving the chambers.

Astrid stared at her king for a few seconds before her gaze landed on their chained prisoner that they had completely ignored. Eret stared at her with curious eyes.

"What?" Astrid sneered.

"Nothing."

Jack had made sure to keep Elsa awake after Tooth had tended to her head, telling her she could very well die if she were to close her eyes.

Elsa laid in bed, awake and staring at Jack who sat by the window with a book in his hand. Guess vampires really do read, Elsa had dully thought as her eyes traveled on his frame, she figured since she had no choice but to stay awake and had nothing to do, she thought she would properly see how this man really looked. Hair white as snow, spikey and messy yet it looked soft to the touch. Elsa had a vague thought about touching it but she figured the lack of blood in her head made her think weirdly. Next were his eyes, deep blue but still looking bright, she has only seen a few emotions through those eyes, annoyance and amusement mostly but sometimes she couldn't read his eyes, he was good at hiding things behind his eyes.

Though the blue eyes were beautiful in her eyes, she had seen them red as crimson blood, dark, cold and calculating, twice had she only seen hunger and for some strange reason that made her lips twitch just slightly up. His skin was pale, just a bit more than her's, he had strong features too, a sharp nose, high cheek bones and a strong jaw. He's handsome, she would admit but not to him, she thought that if she did say this aloud it would inflate his ego, she did not want to give him that satisfaction.

Her eyes traveled down to his neck. He had removed the cravat around his neck, exposing his skin again, she eyed it as if wondering why his voice was so deep. Her eyes traveled again to his shoulders, wide and broad, she had felt the muscles through his dress shirt and even through the vest he wore. A blush began to appear on Elsa's cheeks as she remembered feeling the muscle on his chest and body on her own. She had never been so intimately close to a man, teachings had taught her that she was not to be that close to a man unless he was her husband, did that make up for being his bride? Elsa wasn't sure, all she knew was that she had to be married.

Elsa remembered that she had hugged Kristoff a few times once he had asked Anna's hand in marriage, and his body had not felt like the man a few feet away from her, Jack's body was strong with muscle... and hard... Her face burned when she thought this. Kristoff had some muscle on his arms but his body was... soft? He wasn't chubby or anything like that but soft was the only thing she could come up with.

Her eyes went from his shoulders down to his arms. More than once had those arms wrapped themselves around her, he had kept her up and held her steady. Next came his hands, one hand held onto the book by the spine and the other turned the pages, she wondered how big his hands were compared to hers. Elsa glanced at her hands on the bed then back to his, noticing the difference in size between them.

His legs were long and she wondered if because of those legs being long that he was able to catch her quickly, or if it was simply because he was a vampire. It could may as well be both, she figured.

Her eyes traveled back to his face, he was still focused on his book. She shyly looked at his lips, the ones that were placed on her neck twice, once seeing them red with her blood. In the back of her mind she wondered what her blood tasted like to him, did he like it? Could he even taste it at all? She wondered how he would respond or react if she ever voiced this question.

Jack knew she was watching him, he could feel her eyes trained on him traveling up and down his body but he didn't say anything about it, he simply let her do as she pleased. From time to time he would often glance up to look at her, making sure she did not close her eyes. He needed to make sure her head healed properly and only then will he allow her to close her eyes, then he would wake her every hour to make sure she did not go into a comatose state.

However, from the way she was watching made it seem like she was doing just fine. Jack looked up from his book and glanced at her, she herself looked up to meet his eyes. The two betrothed simply stared at one another for a quiet moment. Jack closed his book, getting up from his seat by the window, he made his way towards the woman laying on the bed, her eyes followed him as he sat by her knees and placing the book on his lap. He looked at the patch of bandage on her head, then he looked back to her curious eyes.

He watched her for just a few seconds before he opened his mouth to speak. "How is it that you injure yourself whenever you leave your chambers?" He asked, his voice low and deep. "Were you always this way?"

Her cheeks stained pink as she looked away from him, a small embarrassed noised was all he got, though she looked back at him with embarrassed eyes and warm cheeks, she still did not answer him but that didn't bother him as it would have a week and a half ago.

She sat alone in the private office that once belonged to her beloved sister, the Queen. For the weeks that she was gone, Anna had kept herself in places her sister mostly stayed in.

After three days of Elsa's kidnapping, the council had announced to Anna that she was to be the new queen of Arendelle. Of course she tried to deny the position, saying that her sister would come back, but they had said 'As heartbreaking as it is to lose our dear Queen, she is likely to have already been killed by those monsters.'

But that couldn't be true, Anna refused to believe that her sister was dead. Marshmellow, the other snowmen and even Olaf were still alive. The magic powers that Elsa had over her snow was still going strong, Olaf had even said that if Elsa were to die there was a likely chance that he, Marshmellow and the other snowmen would have melted away.

It brought some comfort to her to know that her sister was still out there, alive, but she also feared that Elsa was going to be tortured. Anna wanted to find her sister, she was even willing to leave to look for her like the last time, but Kristoff wouldn't let her go, though she was very upset about it he did make very valid points. She wouldn't even know where to begin to look for her, and if she did find Elsa, she wouldn't stand a chance against those monsters- Elsa couldn't and she had her powers, and Anna was just normal.

She cried everyday, whenever the thought of her sister simply came to mind.

Anna curled herself on the floor, leaning against the couch like she would with Elsa. Wanting to cry again but the tears would not come, Anna looked at the small tea table, there were diaries of her elder relative and she has read every page of every diary, especially the ones that mentioned the vampires. Though that was hardly any help at all, all those words written down was simply the sorrow of her relative, her anger and hatred to the vampires, something Anna herself was already sharing.

Sighing deeply, the young redhead glanced out the window. The sunset was beautiful as always but it looked rather dull and lifeless, or at least that was how Anna had been feeling. She was alone only because she had asked to be, Kristoff and Olaf were always with her, trying their best to make her feel a little happy but she just couldn't do it. She knew she wasn't being fair, Kristoff and Olaf both deeply cared for Elsa and they were trying to cope that she was gone, but they didn't love her the way Anna did. She had finally gotten her sister back and she loved the year that brought her the joy, only to be snatched away by hideous monsters.

Anna didn't want to cope with her sister being gone, she didn't want the responsibility of being queen, that role was meant for Elsa! Elsa was the perfect queen in her eyes, smart, beautiful, and she absolutely loved her people. Anna didn't understand politics the way Elsa did, she did not know how to make the smart and right choices for her people and the good of the kingdom, but Elsa did, it practically came naturally to her.

Bringing her knees to her chest, Anna looked out at the now darkened sky. From the view of the window, she could still see the last of the remaining sunset and the glistening water, the sky dark and littered with stars, it was beautiful view, always was and will continue to be, but what was the point of its beauty if she could no longer see it with her beloved sister? It was simply empty beauty, it no longer had its special feeling like it use to.

The sound of the door being pushed open softly whispered in Anna's ears, but she made no move to acknowledge it if she heard it or not, she already knew who was at the door. It was shut softly and the soft echo of footsteps coming her way but she still did not turn her head.

Olaf came into her line of sight, he sat beside her, leaning his on her knee as he looked out the window just like herself. A warm arm wrapped around her back making her lean slightly onto her fiance, his head leaned onto hers as he too looked out the window. No words were said between the trio as they tried to take comfort in the dark, the moon being the only source of light.

It was heartbreaking for them, but not just the three of them alone, the once bustling joy of Arendelle had dulled into sadness and sorrow, taking in the harsh reality of the world and its cruel monsters, the lost lives of the few citizens caught in the hands of Death, and their beloved Queen of Arendelle was forever gone, just like the former King and Queen.

Arendelle was in mourning, and it would be for a while longer.

A small twinkle of a star flashed as it soared through the sky, the wind blew gently over the ocean, making soft waves crash against the rocks, and Princess Anna, soon to be Queen, closed her eyes and wished she could see her dear sister, the Snow Queen.

And this chapter is finished!

Anna has finally been introduced again! But she's sad, no happy ending for her.

Elsa finally met Astrid, though she was rather pissy 'n stuff. Elsa apparently is also a magnet for trouble and seems to injure herself at every possible corner, not very 'queen' like but still stubborn.

No romance once again but I will say a few intimate things will be introduced in the next chapter... But that is all I will say for now though I am already working on the next chapter.

Hope you guys don't mind the somewhat gory-ish scene with the lunatic vampires... I have a rather vivid imagination, believe me it was much worse in my head then what I had put down, I had actually toned it down quite a bit since I am not sure who isn't able to handle that kind of stuff... I had actually considered changing the rating to M with how graphic I was going to write it, but then I thought it would be best if I just toned it down for the sake of those who can't handle this sort of thing and then maybe let get it worse later or so if anyone is okay with vivid gore.

I promise not to take an entire month off of writing unless I have a really bad case of writer's block because everyone gets that from time to time, but I'll try to update as fast as I can.

Thank you again for over 100 reviews! I love you guys!
