The plot thickens! Hahahaaaa!

Chapter 22

My mind wasn't my own. I knew that much. But I was still aware of everything. When I opened my eyes, I was on my knees I became conscious. I must have keeled over when the necklace came around me.

In my head, I was fighting desperately to take control of my body, but nothing was happening.

"Arise, my Queen." He said in that deep voice.

I stood without hesitation and looked into his face.

He was smiling and he reached out and cupped my cheek.

DON'T TOUCH ME! I screamed in my head.

He pulled me closer to him.

"Kiss me."

NO!

But I did. My clops closed around his and I felt his tongue enter my mouth, caressing mine. It was cold and I felt nothing.

GETOFFGETOFFGETOFFLETMEGO!

We broke apart and his arms came around me as I stood there, waiting for another command.

"Sabin."

He knelt before us.

"My king."

"Destroy those men. They touched my bride."

Before the two men could blink, Sabin swung his sword and their heads came off. I probably would have vomited if I could.

The Dark King stroked my hair.

"No one else can touch you. You are mine. Now and forever."

He led me back to the throne and sat, making me sit in his lap.

"Sabin, have the others been disposed of?"

"Yes my king. The men who touched our queen are dead."

"Very good." He continued stroking my hair, smiling.

LET GO OF ME YOU MONSTER! DON'T TOUCH ME!

A few servants entered, this time men and women. They stood in front of us and one carried the small velvet pillow and the black crown. Sabin snatched the pillow and the servants backed away. Sabin knelt in front of us and held out the pillow.

The Dark King grabbed it gently and placed it on my head.

"Yes, everything is now as it should be."

I may have smiled on the outside, but I was screaming on the inside.

…..

Time seemed slow but I knew hours passed by. I was dressed by servants in an elegant dark blue ball gown with the crown still on my head. My hair looked gorgeous. I had never looked that good before, but I would have given anything to have torn the dress off and rip the crown off my head.

On the opposite throne was the Dark King dressed to match, But in more black than blue. His own crown matched mine but larger and more to his style.

I bet he enjoys wearing it. But he still knows I'm the one suppose to rule over them all, not him.

Vampires and their brides filled the hall, all dressed in elegant ball gowns and suits. They laughed and talked, drinking wine and, what I assumed, blood.

How many people had to die just for their enjoyment?

My body was smiling and watching everyone.

One by one, couples and single vampires came and knelt in front of us.

"Our most humble blessings upon you and the Queen, your majesty."

"Long rein our wonderful rulers!"

"May you continue to rule until the end of time, my liege!"

Over and over, couple would spout out corny lines in front of us. I smiled but the Dark King simply nodded in acknowledgment.

After a while they stopped, but then the side door opened and two guards were dragging a young man in. He looked about 17 and scared out of his mind.

"My king. We have your present for you Queen."

Oh God no…

The King stood and held his hand to me. I took it and stood, still fighting in my mind.

"You haven't fed yet, have you my love?"

"I have not taken from a human personally." I responded obediently.

He smiled. "Then learn our new ways my love. Drink from him."

I walked over to the boy and smelled his fear. I hadn't fed in a long time so my fangs were throbbing.

The boy cringed. "Please don't hurt me! Please! I WANNA GO HOME!"

Every vampire in the hall laughed but I cringed on the inside.

This isn't me! Stop it stop it STOPITSTOPITSTOPIT!

I approached the boy and he cringed.

"Please…" He whispered.

I bent to his neck and everyone watched in anticipation. The King seemed excited about my feeding.

The boy cringed as my breath fell on his neck.

STTTOOOOOOOPPPPP!

I froze. My fangs were aching but my body had frozen.

The hall went silent and everyone then began to mutter in confusion.

My body tried to force itself to sink my fangs into his skin but my mind finally had broken thru to some point.

GET OFF HIM NOW!

"My love?"

With a jolt, I pushed him away and I was on my knees, arms wrapped around myself.

Everyone gasped at the sight.

"RUN!" I gasped to the boy.

He didn't hesitate to start running thru the crowd to the doors, and in their stupor they let him pass. I knew he wouldn't make it, but at least I let him get a start.

I sat on the ground shaking, fighting to take control again.

WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP!

"ENOUGH!" The Dark King roared and everyone jumped but me.

I felt myself be snatched off the ground and into his arms.

"LEAVE EVERYONE!"

People scrambled out of the room in fear.

He ran out of the room with me in his arms, Sabin followed. I continued shivering and fighting to wake up.

We burst into his master bedroom and he laid me on the bed.

Sabin stood outside the door, making sure no one came near. The Dark King crawled on top of me and swung his leg over my body.

"I was going to do this anyway. It's a little soon, but it needs to be done."

My body was still shaking and my mind fighting. He bent over me and I felt his breath on my neck.

"This is a vampire's marriage."

Before I could blink, his fangs pierced my neck and I gasped.

I always imagined my first time being fed from pleasurable. Like the time I saw Kristin and Daniel in the gym. But this was painful for me. My neck throbbed and I felt as if my life was being drained away.

After several moments he pulled away, licking the blood from his lips.

"You taste very sweet, my love."

I just laid here for several moments, my strength fading again.

He lifted his own wrist and bit hard on the vein. My head was lifted up and he pressed my mouth to it, making his own blood run down my throat.

He smiled as he laid me back down.

"We are now joined, my love. Now and forever."

I started screaming again on the inside, feeling more lost than ever.

I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while. I've been going thru a lot but im going to start getting back to writing. Especially since it is my escape from reality for a while. I will be writing again and I promise to make it up to everyone somehow for the long wait : )
