Ok! Time to fix my Boo-boos! ^_^ Enjoy!
Chapter 11
That night I slept horribly…
…..
My dream started off weird…
I was walking thru my old high school wearing a schoolgirl uniform that felt very off. The skirt was too short and the blouse was too revealing.
I walked out the front doors and saw Jaiden and Andrew standing there wearing the boys uniform. And they both looked extremely hot!
Jaiden and Andrew both looked irritated.
"You have to choose." Jaiden said.
I raised an eyebrow. "Huh?"
"Either me or him, Brie." Andrew said.
I felt my face turn red and I took a step back. I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to see Mary in the same uniform as me.
"You did promise them, Brianna. You said you made up your mind."
"Made up my mind about what?"
Kristin stepped out from behind Mary.
"You promised them, Brie. So choose."
"CHOOSE WHAT?" I snapped.
As soon as the words left my mouth, the scenery became fuzzy, and everything went black. After a moment, I felt my head stop spinning and a light flashed. When the scenery came back, it wasn't the same place.
I was sitting on a large throne. The carpet was only a long streak from the door to the throne. The rest of the floor was marble. In front of me at the bottom of the small set of steps was a man, crying in pain and anguish.
I felt nothing for him.
"You failed me, Dorian…" I said in a voice that wasn't my own. My voice was deep and powerful.
A man's voice.
The man sobbed. "Please… I'm sorry Master… Forgive me!"
I laughed. "Forgiveness? You fail me AGAIN and you have the nerve to ask for FORGIVENESS!"
The man threw himself at my feet, crying and pleading.
"I BEG YOU! Give me another chance! I will bring the traitor to you! I swear!"
In a flash, I kicked him and sent him flying back down the steps onto his back. In another instant, two men appeared beside him, looking grim and evil.
"This was the SECOND time that Jaiden almost found my keep! And both accounts were because of YOU! I have no need for servants who fail me!"
The men grabbed the man's arms, exposing his chest.
"LET THIS BE AN EXAMPLE FOR FUTURE FAILURE!"
With speed and great strength, I shot forward and my fist slammed thru his chest, grabbed his heart, and ripped it clean out of hic chest.
The man fell to the floor, eyes wide in fear, but no longer seeing…
I threw the heart to the floor and licked the blood off my hand.
"Clean this mess up. My Queen will not come into a filthy home."
The men attended to the body and I turned back to the throne. I looked and saw a second throne next to the first. Both were made of black marble. On the second sat a pillow with a black tiara, glittering with diamonds.
I smiled at it.
"Soon…"
…
I shot awake, sweating and breathing heavy. My head was pounding and I couldn't stop shaking.
Did I… just see into his head?
I lay back down and stared at the ceiling, thinking about everything that had happened already.
I was made into a vampire when everyone thinks I'm a queen… Andrew asked me out… I can see into the Dark Kings mind who can also talk to me thru dreams… and… Jaiden kissed me…
I blinked as I wiped away my tears. I was so sick of everything. So much to me was still unanswered and confusing.
Ok… Think… He said something about Jaiden… Jaiden! He almost found his hiding place! Is that what he does when he sneaks out? He goes looking for it? Not surprising.
I shivered as I remembered what he did to that poor man.
He is evil… truly evil…
I rolled over and closed my eyes.
I wish this were over already!
…
The following day I got dressed, but didn't leave the room. I mostly sat by the window, staring out into the woods. I really wasn't sure what I would do if I saw Jaiden so I decided to stay in my room for a while.
God, what would I even say to him?
A knock at the door made me jump.
"Come in!" I called.
Kristin came in with a tray of food and what looked like a glass with a bag of blood.
I smiled at her. "Hey!"
She smiled but I knew she was worried.
"Hey! Are you all right? You haven't left your room all day."
I shrugged. "Just… not feeling all that great." I liked Kristin, but I didn't feel up to talking to anyone about what was really going on.
She put the tray on the table and smiled.
"Well, everyone is already out and about. I'll be in the gym for a while if you need me."
I smiled. "Ok thanks!"
She left and I turned to the tray.
No use starving myself while I'm here!
I dug in quickly.
…..
Later, I took the tray out into the kitchen. Kristin was right, I saw no one around. I went into the gym and saw Kristin bouncing around hitting a small punching bag. Daniel stood to the side, watching.
For some reason, I quickly stepped into the shadows. Neither of them saw me but for some reason, I just wanted to watch them.
Kristin beat into the bag.
"Harder!" Daniel said. Kristin obliged.
"Is that all you got?" he said with a smile.
Kristin growled and pounded into the bag.
Daniel laughed and suddenly reached out and slapped her butt.
Kristin rounded on him. "Not fair!" She aimed a hit at him, but he dodged, laughing.
"Too slow!" He said and slapped her butt again. Kristin yelled and aimed for him again, only to miss. This time. He wrapped his arms around her and both fell onto the mats.
I watched as their arms stayed entwined and Daniel kissed her. I blushed at the passion. Daniel continued to kiss her throat and I decided that was when I needed to leave.
I'm starting to feel like a peeping tom.
I turned but a gasp made me turn back.
Kristin moaned, her head back and eyes closed. Daniel had peeled her shirt down and had bitten her breast, the other hand up her shirt and fondled her.
I need to go!
I left as quietly as I could.
Walking back to my room, I blushed as I thought of the moment I walked into.
Is that what they meant when they talked about them being bitten? That kind of passion?
I walked back into my room, feeling kind of… envious.
….
I was never taking a nap again…
In this dream, I was lying back on a large, luxurious couch. I sat up and blushed. I was wearing a black lacy nightgown. The sort of things women wore to drive men nuts.
I felt a chill go down my spine and I knew what this was.
"I know your there. Stop trying to impress me with stupid appearing acts."
I heard laughter as the Dark King stepped out from the darkness and started approaching me.
"You never cease to amaze me, Brianna."
I wrapped my arms around myself and glared at him.
"Look, I still have some questions for you, and while were here, you might as well answer them."
His eyes traveled over my body. "Really? Because I can think of other entertaining things we could do."
I turned red and shivered.
"I want to know… how did you find me? How did you even know I was the one you were looking for?"
He smiled and I felt his eyes roam over me again.
"I have been searching for you for centuries. Failing and failing for years."
"I know that much. You killed Jaiden and Andrew's sister!" I snapped.
He growled. "Yes I did. An unfortunate mistake. I thought she was the one."
"But HOW?"
"When a woman reaches maturity, they give off a certain… smell in their blood. However, a vampire's blood has a slightly different smell. It's stronger. As soon as I saw and watched you, I started to notice the difference in you once you reached maturity. I decided you were ripe for the change."
I felt sick. "You… You've been watching me?"
His smile came back. "Yes. And the more I watched you, the more I wanted you."
I gulped. "How long have you been watching me?"
He shrugged. "When you're as old as I am, time just seems to… float by."
I decided I heard enough of the stalker talk.
"Fine. What about the car accident? Why not take me then? Why wait?"
His smile got smaller. "That was a mistake made by my people. I wanted to wait until after the funeral, so you would simply disappear. Much less messy to deal with rather than human police scouring the city for a missing person. Plus, the change would have already taken over and you would be ready for me."
I shuddered. "You make me sound like some prized cow getting ready for the slaughter."
"More like a princess ready to become a queen."
I stood and backed away from him, not liking how close he was.
He took another step forward. "Why do you move away from me, my love?"
I moved to behind the couch. "Don't call me that! And I don't like how close you are."
In a flash, he went from being in front of me, to behind me. His arms wrapped around tightly around me.
"Is this better?" he whispered in my ear.
I tried to squirm out of his grip but he wasn't letting me go. I stopped and shivered and him lips fell on my neck.
"Why do you fight me so much? By my side, I can give you the freedom to rule and live your life as you see fit. Not restrictions, no limits, nothing but true freedom."
I raised an eyebrow, curiosity getting the better of me.
"Like what?"
I felt him smile against my neck.
"I'll show you."
The room dissolved I was suddenly sitting in the throne I saw in his head the night before. I was now wearing an elegant dark blue dress with the black tiara with diamonds glittering on my head.
In front of me was a mass hall filled with people in formal wear. Everyone held wine glasses and was talking and laughing. Next to me, the dark king sat in his own throne with a crown on his head.
He smiled at he and held my hand.
"Look, Brianna. Look at what we could share together. We can rule all of them. Side by side, there is nothing we can't do."
The hall suddenly raised their glasses.
"To the king and queen!"
I stood and froze. Thoughts suddenly began to race thru my head.
I can have this, a voice that didn't sound like me said. All of this. I can RULE all these people!
I felt him step behind me and wrap his arms around me. I fell back into him and enjoyed his touch.
"What do you say, Brianna? Join me. Help me rule! Together, were invincible!"
I felt my heart race as his lips caressed my neck.
Maybe… maybe I can… this is what I'm meant for, after all.
As soon as I thought the words, faces began popping into my head.
Mary… Kristin… Andrew… Christian… and Jaiden.
"But… my friends…" I said in a daze.
He growled. "Forget them. Hey don't understand the power we hold."
But more faces popped into my head.
Dad… my stepmother… Humans!
"The humans…"I mumbled.
He grabbed my arms and spun me around.
"Look at me, Brianna! Think of what we could have!"
But the faces wouldn't go away.
I couldn't do it! Too many people depended on me! Why am I even thinking about this? Wait… is he manipulating my mind?
I shook my head and took a step back away from him.
"What… What did you do to me?"
He blinked and looked surprised.
"How… How did you break it? My Glamour…"
I glared at him.
"Really? Is this how you get women? You use some kind of mind control on me? Well forget it! Your not going to win me over with some cheap mind control tricks!"
He grabbed my arms again and turned me to face him.
"It worked before and it will work now! Join me, Brianna!"
I felt it this time. My mind felt light… as if it wasn't my own.
Do it… say yes… Be with him… Join him and rule…
I shook me head and pushed him away with all the strength I had.
"NO! STOP IT!" I screamed and clutched my head.
The room started to spin and I heard everyone in the hall start to scream.
"BRIANNA!" he screamed and reached for me, but never touched me.
The room disappeared.
…
"Brianna! Brianna, wake up!"
I opened my eyes to see Kristin and Mary on either side of the bed. Kristin was leaning over me and clutching my arms, shaking me. I sat up and looked at them.
"What… just happened?"
They both sighed in Relief.
"You were sweating and mumbling in your sleep. There was an earthquake and we came to check on you. Are you ok?"
I nodded.
"Yeah. Just some freaky dreams."
They relaxed a little.
"Well, come on. Andrew brought pizza back tonight. Let's go eat."
I got out of bed and followed. Hoping the feeling of nausea would go away.
Please let him stay out of my head… And let my friends stay safe…
….
Ok! I finally fixed a few things! More still needs to be revealed and explained but that shall come with time… AND REVIEWS! HAHAHAAAAA! NOW no more till those reviews come! ^_^
