DISCLAIMER: I OWN THIS STORYS PLOT AND CHARECTERS.
Panic-stricken I looked around and came in contact with Edward.
He was beside me in an instance. "Sir I will have to ask you to let go of her immediately!" he said threateningly.
"Or what? Who are you? Her boyfriend?"
Next thing I knew, Edward had him a feet away from me, holding him by his shirts collar.
He said "Or else I'd break that tiny little head of yours before you know it and I'm her body guard you sick dickhead"
Was this guy mad cause if I'd be in his place I'd be scared out of my wits and he still carried on smiling "Oh, I get it! Are you sleeping with her? I'm sure she hot and wild in bed-" before he could finish Edward had him pinned against the wall.
"Watch your bloody mouth I don't have patience to take any of your bullshit!" with that he punched him hard on his nose making it bleed.
"Edward let him go" I said as another punch was on its way to collide with the guys jaw. He deserved it but "this way is no way to handle this situation Edward! Let him go!"
"Guards imprison him for speaking filthily of our princess" ordered Sam.
And it happened.
Soon Edward was at my side saying "Are you okay?"
I nodded, not trusting my voice.
I wanted to cry so badly but bit my lower lip to resist.
"I'll be right back, I have to wash this blood off of me. it makes me.. uneasy." He said blankly.
In five seconds he was again next to me.
"Dance with me" I ordered rather than asking him.
I took Edward's hand. It was better than dancing with any other perverted person here. I needed a minute to compose myself.
It was a slow song. "I'm so tired" I whispered while sighing.
He remained quiet and we sway side to side with the music. Edward was a good dancer so I didn't really have to do much except follow his lead.
He suddenly tensed and I looked up at him.
A low growl was starting from his chest and I wouldn't have noticed if I didn't have my hand on his chest and felt it vibrating.
The sound was low yet threatening as he said "What do you want Evan!"
Edward now stood in front of me protectively and I got a chance to look at another handsome man.
"Well, well, so they have requested you to protect her and you agreed? Not bad! I might say their smart but we will get her no matter what. She is one fine piece of ass after all"
I immediately understood. He was also a vampire.
"Leave now or suffer the consequences"
"Alright alright no need to get so feisty"
He slowly left after that and Edward seemed to relax a bit.
Its weird.. Edward knew him.. and obeyed him.. I wonder what his story is..
I took deep breaths trying to calm myself down and closed my eyes.
By the time the song ended I had regained composure. It had always been a tradition type of thing to dance with all your guests.
So when the song ended soon another man asked me to dance with him.
I put on a fake smile and started dancing with him. Occasionally talking to him as per required.
Finally slowly everyone left.
Monique by this time was totally drunk as always.
As the last guest left I was going to go change and go to my favorite place; the roof.
But before I could do that I said "Get that drunken ass in bed before she fucks some poor guy" I still considered as cheating on my father but now I was used to it.
Before I knew it Monique threw a glass plate which headed towards me with great speed. You see Monique's a Witch.
Yeah. Thus super strength.
I don't know yet what I am. I was supposed to find out on my 16th birthday from my dad who was a Fae. That never happened as he died before it. So I don't know what I am but who cares when you have so many other supernatural things to protect you and your kingdom? It's not like I wasn't trained well enough how to deal with every creature. But being human does have its disadvantages. Like being a mortal, slow and weak compared to other supernaturals. Obviously. But I do have genes of a Fae.
The plate flew towards me.
I closed my eyes prepared for it to shatter against my skin and leave deep bloody cuts but I didn't care. Did I ever care?
Usually one of my guards would take the hit but this time no one was near me or fast enough to stop this.
This, I'm afraid, was going to hurt.
Crash.
WHAT THE HELL?
It came in contact with skin but not mine. Then who's?
I opened my eyes to see Edward standing in front of me.
He had taken the hit. When he turned towards me and pushed me out of the room before the Witch could do anything else I noticed blood penetrating his white shirt.
"Oh my God! Are you alright?"
He nodded.
"We should take you to the medical area immediately!"
"No! It's okay. I'm fine."
"But-"
"We heal fast. My wound is already sealed."
"You're also pretty fast"
He nodded.
"Thank you"
"Your welcome your majesty"
"Urgh.. Not you too! Just call me Elizabeth or Lizz or Lizzy. Anything but that shit."
He nodded again.
I made my way to my room followed by Edward.
"You can go now. I'm going to sleep"
"I'm staying here with you." He replied blankly
"No your not!"
"Yes I am, now stop arguing with me"
"You stop arguing with me!"
He sighed completely annoyed and angry.
"My kind neither rests nor sleeps. They could attack you at night. Come in from your window and any one else or I wont be able to help you. Now you don't want that do you?"
He scared me for a split second. Obviously I wouldn't want to be abducted and forcefully get married to a vampire, though I have nothing against them. But still. You get me right?
Anyways I huffed "Fine!"
After I changed in my night suit a silk gown to be precise, I got in bed.
After half an hour I peeked through my long eye lashes to see that Edward was on the couch sitting with his head back, resting on the couch head. He seemed so peaceful.
Wait.
His eyes were closed. Did that mean he was sleeping? Awesome!
I got up. Made my way to the door.
Just as I was about to turn the door knob I heard a voice that blended with the darkness as well as silence making me jump.
"Just because my eyes are closed doesn't mean I'm sleeping, or deaf. Where are you going?"
"To t-the roof top" my heart was beating rapidly.
"Let's go"
I was a little taken aback that he didn't protest that I shouldn't go.
"Okay, but don't tell Monique"
He nodded.
We both sneaked upstairs and onto the roof.
I sighed.
"I like it here, you know? Because I know my dad can see me from above. Look at the stars twinkling. My dad used to bring me up here a lot. He said my mums probably up there. So is he now. You know something funny? In this world full of the supernatural, I'm a daughter of a Fae yet I'm still a human. Don't tell anyone. He died before he could transform me. Before my 16th birthday."
"You see my father had to transform me into something he wants. I am a mix between a Fae and a Sorcerer. Thus those qualities will always be with me. But I yet have to be awakened. Whoever will do it will probably be my husband. I would be extremely powerful."
"I know that, I've been around a long time."
"Oh"
I went and sat down at my usual spot. I don't know why I said all that. Maybe because I never had anyone to talk to and share what I really felt.
Edward came and sat down with me.
I was grateful that he didn't do that 'may I sit with you majesty' crap
"Edward, have you ever lost someone?"
"No ma'm- Elizabeth!"
"Nice save"
"Thanks"
"Well that's great and I hope it remains like that cause its unimaginable pain, I've been through it twice."
"I can't even imagine."
After a while he said "you've done well."
"Thanks" I mumbled as a tear almost escaped my eye. I whipped it out as soon as it bubbled up.
"You know it's not a crime to cry ones in a while."
That did it. I looked in his topaz eyes. And I broke.
For the first time I cried after my dads death.
I cried so much.
I moaned his death, I moaned for my pathetic life, I moaned because of the fact that some Vampires were after me and I moaned because I was all alone in this world.
Edward hesitantly put his arms around me as if that concept was foreign to him but he still tried to console me. "You're not alone" he whispered.
He simply held me there as I wept for my loss of everything.
Let me know what you think.
Love you all, you guys rock!
