Ok. I lied. ONE MORE update! The friend I'm writing this for has a birthday today so she requested one more update before the holidays!

So here's one more update!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Chapter 5

I stared at her for a moment, as if she suddenly had horns sprouting from her head.

"…Your kidding right? There's no way I'm some kind of vampire."

"Your not just some KIND of vampire! You are THEE vampire, sweetheart!" The man behind me cut in, making me jump. "Think about it! You're the first FEMALE vampire in existence!"

"So what?" I snapped. "Even if I was a vampire, who cares if I'm the only woman vampire?"

"Your FIANCEE cares." Drawled Jaiden.

I raised an eyebrow at him.

"Excuse me?"

"The man who won't stop until you are in his power. Your destined husband."

I stood, suddenly angry for some reason.

"Let me guess… Are YOU my mystery man?"

He snorted but Mary cast him a glare to shut him up.

"No. No one here would ever force themselves on you."

"So who's the man I'm suppose to be chained to, then?"

"Well…that's what were trying to prevent. There's a small vampire prophesy about you that were KINDA trying to keep from happening."

"…What prophesy?"

Mary walked over to the table and picked up what looked like a very old, dirty piece of paper. She walked over and handed it to me.

I took it more politely this time and read:

And in a time most dark, a queen shall appear that shall either be our most gracious gift, or our darkest fear. The king shall create her in his image, but it will be her will to either embrace the light or the darkness. She shall rise above all, having strength the dark king knows not and should she wish to embrace the light, it shall be upon her shoulders to destroy the dark king and lead the people into the light…

I finished reading and stared at he paper, silently hoping that the end of the page would say: 'oh, by the way, APRIL FOOLS'. But nothing works that way, apparently.

I shook my head and thrust the paper away from me.

"No. You have the wrong girl. Sorry."

"But-"

"No! I'm not this QUEEN you're looking for! I'm just normal, HUMAN Brianna Black who starts school in a few weeks. And I'm going home."

Mary shook her head. "I'm sorry, but things aren't that simple anymore. For your safety, as well as our race. He won't stop looking for you, and we will destroy all who get in his way."

"Who is this guy your talking about?"

A dark shutter went thru the room.

"Humans know him as Dracula, a character created by Bram Stoker who makes vampires look cheesy and romantic. But we all know him as the Dark King. He rules the vampires with an iron fist and is determined to one day rule over not only vampires, but the human race as well."

"Ok… so he wants to be the next Hitler."

"Pretty much. Humans are only food to him. As soon as he gains the power he wants, it will only be a matter of time before he and his followers take control."

"But none of that makes sense! You just said that vampires find their brides and feed from them! There's no need to overrun the planet!"

"You don't get it! Jaiden snapped, making me jump. "He doesn't care! All he wants is power and to rule! Everything will be clouded and darkness and eventually, the world will rot to nothing! And all he cares is that he rules over it all…" He said the last words in a whisper and looked away. For a moment, I respected Jaiden for sounded completely disgusted by the idea.

"So… screw everyone else's happiness as long as he has his, huh?" I said sarcastically.

Their silence answered my rhetorical question.

"Is he the one that killed me? The man who made my car crash into the trees?"

Mary nodded. "Most likely."

"Then I guess I wasn't dreaming the other night."

Mary looked confused. "What do you mean?"

"I had this dream the other night. A man came into my room and I think he made me drink some of his blood."

They were silent for a moment.

"So…" Jaiden said quietly. "Part of the prophesy has already come true. 'Create her in his image'".

"That's fine and dandy, but where do I come in with all of this?"

"Didn't you read the prophecy?" Mary exclaimed. "You are the only one with the power to stop him! You can lead our people in the right direction!"

I couldn't stop myself from laughing. "Right! I can't even keep potted plants alive, let alone lead a group of vampires in the right direction!"

"You can with the proper help. We all have faith in you and are willing to stand behind you."

Jaiden snorted. "Speak for yourself, Mary."

I turned to him, glaring with fists clenched.

"And what is that suppose to mean?"

He shrugged. "It's just as I said. You have no skills and CLEARLY don't belong in any of this. Just stay in your room like a good little girl and let the big kids handle this."

Jaiden then turned towards the door and started to leave, but I stepped in front of him and blocked his way.

"How about THIS, asshole? I WILL help! I'll help you kill this dictator just to prove you wrong! And when it's all said and done and I'm OFFICIALLY queen, my first act will be to make you beg on your hands and knees for forgiveness for ever doubting me!"

He raised an eyebrow. "That will never happen. You are too immature and weak."

Mary made a move to do something, but my fury beat her to it. With out thinking, I grabbed the collar of his shirt and threw him across the room. I hardly used any energy to do it and I stood there, unmoving and astonished. Jaiden had gone right thru the wall to the other room, landing against the wall of that room.

The room was silent for a moment, and then everyone burst into laughter. Even Mary.

I felt a strong hand land on my shoulder, startling me out of my trance.

It was Jaiden's brother. "Girl, you are REALLY making my day! My name is Andrew, by the way."

I nodded, letting him know I heard him. But my eyes were glued to Jaiden, who was now standing and glaring at me. Without loosing eye contact, he brushed himself off and left thru the door of that room.

"Well…" Mary said. "Things are defiantly going to be more interesting around here."

…..

HAPPPY BIRTHDAY!
