Why does my head hurt?

Last chapter was exceptionally long so don't expect me to write SUCH long chapters but the next one will be a long one. I'll keep the prom in one LONG chapter! =)

I'm very happy with my reviewers, you're the best. I just have one less review but oh well. Its just that in two days I got sooo many reviews. So THANK YOU!

And I found out a few of my monthly test scores. I got the second highest in my thinking skills. And I failed in maths by 2 marks. That's all I know so far! LOL!

Clarrisse- Sure, you know what ill do? I'll add a bit of more about it in this chapter though I was going to reveal it later but ill do it now. Thus this chapters dedicated to you! =D

Lynzee44- yup, you're right! John that brother. =)

Cathy- John is David's Elder brother. Remember, he has two elder brothers, James then John and then David himself. John's the one who comes in seldom parts but is an important character. He seems to hate David for a reason yet unknown! He was introduced when Lizz has breakfast with her in-laws for the first time I think. I hope that helped. =)

Midnightsdream92- Yes there will definitely be a sequel and I already have it in my head and you will be shocked just by the first chapter! LOL! But that's a long way to go cuz a lot of "the betrothed" is left! =)

Londa27- LOL! 237 was the number of reviews I wanted! By the way, here we don't have the high school system but I am aware of stuff so basically freshmen would make you in the first year of high school right? Reese's are those chocolates right? I don't know why but I don't like them! Hehe! I don't have a writers block, I love writing, but it's just that I don't get time! =(

Thank u all who added my story in their favorite list or story alert and me in their favorite author or author alert. AND for praising my work soooo much! =D

MY NEXT FAV- A year without rain by Salena Gomez.

DISCLAIMER: I OWN THIS STORYS PLOT AND CHARACTERS.

Powerful? Oh yes.

I didn't reply I just glared at him whipping my tears away.

"Brother" he stated in mock disappointment "Why did you tell her? I wouldn't have. I would've waited for her mother to heal and totally avoid useless drama."

Anger boiling up all fears forgotten. Before I could say anything David said "That's the difference between us brother-"

Before he could finish John interrupted him saying "That's what makes you weak and vulnerable."

As a comeback David said "No wonder why I'm going to rule and not you."

John flared visibly and eyed me 'the death glare' "Don't be so sure brother." He said sadistically.

"Touch her and you will die." David said in the most deadly way I had head anyone say.

John laughed out loud. "And who would do that? You?"

Suddenly time stopped.

John ran towards me.

David ran in front of me and pushed me back.

My back was now pressed hard against the wall.

John collided with David and there was a BANG!

David had stopped John mid way and was now laughing hysterically. Oh my God. David was so strong. It was like he was made of rock. As much pressure John applied he didn't even move David an inch away from his position. "That's all you got brother?" said David with a raised eyebrow in mock horror.

John groaned aloud and David carried on. "I'm faster. I'm stronger. I'm better. They don't call me 'the ruthless prince' for no reason. Don't try anything stupid ever again. Now get out of my sight." He said threateningly. I had never heard him use a deadly tone like he just did with anyone.

And John left without another word all the while glaring at me.

David looked back to my tear stricken face and asked "Are you okay?"

I was pretty scared. I just nodded and said "I'm fine, are you okay?"

He smiled and said "No one can hurt me"

I sighed. I didn't like it one bit. I could feel my anger wavering when I saw his smile. What's happening to me? I can't be falling for this words-cant-describe-drop-dead-gorgeous-man could I? I've hardly been here what? A week? Four to five days? But so much has happened in such a short time. Could it be….?

"I'm still mad at you" I said exasperated. I crossed my arms.

He slowly walked towards me and took my hand in his hand. He held my tiny hand in both of his sexy hands.

"I'm sorry, I should have told you, I just didn't know how you would react to it.. What can I do to make it up to you?"

He looked so apologetic and pained. I couldn't stay mad from a face like his.

I sighed.

I hugged him. He hugged me back. As my face lay on his chest I whispered with my throat dry and tears coming to my eyes again "I don't like secrets"

"Then there shall be none between us." He said sincerely.

As if on queue Lindsay walked in saying "Awwww"

I smiled at her as she said "You're not mad at me are you?"

"No I'm not. It was never your place to tell" I said simply.

She hugged me too and started talking about our dresses.

David ruffled my hair and said "Gotta go feed."

I was surprised by his bluntness but he has changed. I smiled at that rather than freaking out.

"How's your leg?" Lindsay asked leading me to my room.

I frowned "It hurt's"

"You should let any one of us bite and inject venom in it. It will heal in minutes. Plus there's a really cool thing that you can feel whatever the vampire who injected venom feels. Same goes when a vampire feeds on a human. It might be too hard for you to handle vampire emotions because they are way stronger than human emotions and it may weaken you but it's an amazing feeling. When James gives me his venom it's the best feeling I've ever had. To feel his love for me. truly amazing. It takes me in my own fantasy land." She looked at me and laughed "Pardon me. I'm just so in love."

I laughed and hugged her and said "Have I ever told you that you're the coolest to be sister-in-law ever and that I love you?"

I couldn't believe I said that but I meant every word of it. "Aww really?" she asked and hugged me back.

I nodded my head.

Laughing and joking around it was time to get ready.

I took a shower and wore my dress.

The dress was exactly like I wanted and described. Even prettier.

Lindsay did my make up and I kept my hair open and got a few curls in the ends.

I surly looked like a super model in red.

David walked in when Lindsay was done.

He came and kissed my forehead "you look gorgeous as always" as he eyed me down as I did him.

"Thank you" I blushed and said "You look nice too"

He wore a black spotless Armani suit with a perfectly pressed white shirt. The first few buttons were left open making him look really sexy. He wore black dress pants and his white shirt was tucked in. he wore custom made leather shoes and I could see his Rolex watch hanging around his wrist.

"Thank you"

"I better go check on your friends." Said Lindsay and she left us alone.

My heart rate increased dramatically.

David walked towards me and said "Thought about letting me bite you? That dress would look even more pretty draped over your scratch-less leg which doesn't hurt when you walk in those 6 inch silver stilettos" he pointed towards the corner they were lying in.

I smiled at his attempt. Then I frowned. "Is it going to hurt?"

I had thought about it. It would be cool if I would feel what he did. But emotions are a very private thing. I don't think I should.

"I'll make sure it doesn't." he smiled wider. "I control that remember"

I nodded.

"I'll also try to keep control of my emotions. You won't feel weak one bit like Lindsay said unless I let the barrier down."

I nodded. "Okay, let's do this."

He made me sit on the bed and he kneeled down next to it.

He gently put my leg in his lap and I winced at the pain.

It hurt so much.

He put his mouth on my leg and I squeezed my eyes shut.

I felt two sharp teeth pierce my skin.

After that I felt pure bliss.

I opened my eyes and looked down. I could see David bend down over my leg injecting his venom in me.

I don't know why I looked at him in awe.

In a few minutes it was over and he looked up.

Still in a daze I said "that was amazing! It felt sooo good!"

"Really?" his eyes glittered with happiness. "I'm glad I made you feel that way" he said honestly.

I smiled blushing a million shades of red.

I looked down at my leg as David got up and it was healed.

"It's healed?" I said shocked which came out more as a question.

David laughed softly "Of course it healed. My venoms as strong as me!"

"That reminds me, how come your stronger than others? And I didn't get what you said about you being impervious to magic.. I wanted to ask but.. I didn't want to ask it in front of James, I feel dumb not knowing anything.." and I left the question hanging.

He smiled again and said "You will, in time, know everything there is to know.As for the other thing, it's basically that I'm sort of immune to magic because of many reasons. One is that I'm a pureblood, who are more powerful than normal vampires. You see, fundamentally, who are pure bloods? The ones who are the direct line to the source, first, whatever you want to call the original vampire. I'm a direct descendant of the original. Christian de Thomas. My grandfather. Being his grandson I am more powerful than any other pureblood. To top it off, I'm the one in line for the thrown thus my powers are intensified. These are the few reasons from many why I am immune to magic, so that even if someone hates me and wants to get rid of me it will be impossible because magic wont work and neither will physical force. Only the exceptional very powerful witches can cast powerful enough magic to even influence me a little. Like the first witch. Claire De Loon. And she wouldn't, because she is Lindsay's mother. I wonder who cast it on us…"

"Oh" that's all I could say..

Her mother was the first witch! WOW! "That means she's a witch and not a vampire?" I voiced my thoughts.

"No, she is a vampire and a witch, she's a mix. Her father is a vampire."

"Oh…"

I wanted to ask him more, about why John and him always seemed to be at each others throats but my friends walked in and they all looked stunning.

Jake and Daniel wore suits and Tracy and Silver wore dresses. Tracy wore a black strapless dress which fell to the ground with a belt around the waist with a big golden buckle while Silver wore a white dress with a square neck and it went till her thighs. It was fitted and she also had a belt around her waist with a silver buckle.

Both perfectly fit them. We all looked thin, smart and beautiful.

All of them gapped at me and I was flushed with complements.

Daniel was totally speechless and stared at me like he was lusting for me? Weird.

Suddenly I held Lindsay's arm as I was filled with unimaginable rage.

Lindsay suddenly noticed.

We both turned to look at David.

He was glaring at Daniel.

I now actually know what they meant when they said vampire's emotions are way stronger than ours cause the anger I felt now was uncontrollable and I felt like I could rip someone's throat out! My friends were deep in conversation so they didn't notice. Ironic much?

Anyway Lindsay mumbled something super low and David's head jerked towards me.

The anger I felt earlier disappeared. He must have put the thing what he called 'barrier' on.

He walked to me and stood so close in front of me blocking Daniels view.

Lindsay took my friends down to the car. We were short of time. We could always talk there cause the way was so long!

He bent down to my ear and held my hair. He whispered "forgive me for I lost control for a minute back there." It seemed that he was talking to me in a very old fashioned way. "I do not like the way he looks at you."

I nodded. "I know but please bear with it."

"I am bearing with it my beautiful lady" with this he took my hand and kissed it lightly. "Call me old fashioned but may I escort a charming lady like yourself?" He asked nicely.

"My my am I flattered, yes you may"

I liked this side of him. I felt oddly happy. Maybe a bit of David's emotion were rubbing off on me.

He was happy. I was happy.

Hand in hand he took me downstairs and out the door.

The sight I saw next was words-cant-describe.

David whispered next to me. "Surprise!"

This wasn't a short chapter but its more like a filler.

I hope you got it now Clarrisse, if you don't then ask me and I will explain it to you separately!

No update till I have at least; '233+20=253 reviews?'

XOXO,

Zoe.
