Chapter 5 the party!

I'm back! *evil grins* =D

Thanks for reviewing, adding my story in your favorite list as well as alert and author alert subscription and author alert!

Okay. I have some BAD NEWS- the thing is that I'm thinking about completing one story- my first- The betrothed. Because writing soo many stories at the same time is so damn hard. So I'm thinking that you all will understand and make it easier for me. But if u guys don't want to do that just review and let me know! I might just end up posting more chapters but be warned they might take a long time as I also have two internships to juggle at the same time. =]

Do REVIEW and let me know! =D

DISCLAIMER: I OWN THIS STORYS PLOT AND CHARECTERS.

He let go and the horse suddenly jumped and sped forward. Now I knew why he wasn't letting the horse go.

The speed was exhilarating. Everyone ran after me except Edward. He stood still and watched me.

I soon had the horse under control. I've always had a way with them. I loved animals.

Then after half an hour of running around I skidded to a stop and jumped off the horse. I gave the owner of the horse some money as a token of thanks for letting me ride his horse and he at first refused to take the money but then after a little convincing he took it saying it was his pleasure.

I smiled it was nearly 6. I noticed Edward hardly ever talked.

So getting in my carriage and getting ready for the journey home I asked him "So, tell me your story?"

"I don't have any story" he replied blankly as if he wouldn't have if it wasn't me- the princess, asking him.

"I like your name, it's pretty heavy"

"Thank you"

"What do you do usually?"

"Nothing"

"What's your favorite hobby?"

"Nothing"

God! Talking to this guy was so damn hard and I'm supposed to spend every minute of my life from now onwards with him. I mean if I wasn't a princess I don't even think he would bother answering my questions.

Alright let's get professional. "How old are you?"

"I'm 20"

"That's it?"

"Since June 25th 1566"

"What?" I asked shocked.

He remained silent till I took it in.

"And how does a 443 year old vampire protect me?"

"It's easy, I'm strong and fast enough to kill anyone or anything"

Why did he seem uncomfortable to talk about himself?

"Do you have any girlfriend?"

"Excuse me?"

"Girlfriend? Wife? Anything?"

"That's my personal matter, but since you asked, no"

"Why?"

He remained silence and instead of answering my question he diverted questions towards me.

"What's your story?"

"I don't have a story"

"Oh come on! Everyone has a story"

Yeah right! He just contradicted his earlier statement. HE didn't have a story.

"Well mine's full of shit"

And as I said it we were home and I got off.

I stopped at the door and sighed while replacing my face with a cold mask. I whispered "Let the torture begin"

I walked in and rushed upstairs tuning everything out, even Monique's usual shouts demanding where I've been.

Before entering my room I turned around and shouted "Why are you following me?"

His eyes widened for a fraction of second but recovered saying "I'm not just your guard, I'm your body guard. I stay with you 24/7 even when you're sleeping."

"What the hell! Are you serious?"

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"You're annoying! Did you know that?"

"Now I do. I think you should get ready for the party tonight. I will wait outside"

I huffed and walked inside my room slamming the door on Edwards face.

I changed into a black dress that flowed till my ankle and hugged my upper body perfectly. It was backless and the neck went till my stomach but was held together by a silver circle between my breasts.

I put my hair up in a rough bun letting a strand of hair on both sides of my face

I put a lip gloss, blush on, mascara and eyeliner. I looked so damn pretty and sexy. I was also wearing black stilettos.

I sighed.

Today was Valentine's Day and Monique had kept a party.

"I'm ready" I sighed.

A knock is heard and I walk to open it.

Edward came into view and said pointing to his ears "Sharp ears. If you're done, let's go downstairs."

He wore a black coat on top of a white shirt, black tie and black dress pants. As always he looked stunning.

He looked lazily over my body and made me uncomfortable at his glace. "You look.. Gorgeous"

"Thank you, you look pretty good yourself"

"Happy Valentine's Day."

"Same to you."

"Ah there you are Lizz, Monique's looking for you.. Oh my gosh.. You look stunning" my maid Hillary said while hugging me "Your parents would be so proud of you"

She had to bring them up now?

"Thanks" I said hoarsely, returning the hug, tears threatening to spill over. This was the first party after his death.

This is the kind of relationship I had with every person living under this roof.

This is how I was.

She pulled back and eyed Edward "You look nice Edward!"

"Thank you"

"Let's go now" I said.

Edward held an arm out for me "Mind if I escort you?"

I took it "Sure!"

We walked down and entered the hall while a special familiar tune played.

I was soon gathered by a swarm of people and I notice Edward stiffen slightly.

They all complimented my outfit and most of them simply said we love you. I smiled at everyone.

Soon they all settled down and Monique announced that now I would make a speech.

"What speech?" I whispered shocked.

I got up on the stage followed by Edward and once again was surrounded by a roar of applaud.

"Welcome everyone on this special occasion. Valentine's Day. Where everyone shows their love for their someone special. As you all know the people I loved are no longer with me. But they will be with me forever in my heart." It tore to speak of them after so long. Thinking about them and actually talking about them were two different things. "I don't want to bore you all with a long boring speech. All I want to say is some people say they love the rain, but when it rains, they use an umbrella. Some say they love the sun, but when the sun shines, they search for shade. Some say they love the wind, but when the wind blows and it's windy, they close their windows. That's why I get scared when people like you say they love me. So I hope you all understand why it is hard for me especially now to return your feeling. Thank you"

It was short and true. I had to let them know that I appreciate their kindness and love for me but I can never be the same person I was years back.

Another round of applause took place and some had tears in their eyes as other simply said awe!

I passed Monique while saying "Another attempt to make me look bad? Well better luck next time."

I waited and counted as every second ticked by, dreading every minute of this event.

Soon everyone started to head for the dance floor and apparently everyone wanted a dance with me.

Someone who I didn't recognized asked me to dance and without giving it much thought I said yes and started dancing.

Before I knew it he was invading my private space and touching me inappropriately so I simply tried to brush him off while saying "let go of me" but to my dismay his grip tightened.

I started panicking.

REVIEW and let me know what you think.

Otherwise I won't update. I know you all are reading it! I want loads of them =D

Might as well leave a REVIEW! =)
