The Turned Queen

Visions

In a dark cold room, sat a figure on a leather chair, a wine glass filled with deep red blood in his right hand, his red eyes fixated on the empty bed. Twirling the glass slowly, he seemed to be lost in his own thoughts.

'Where are you? How are you? Do you really hate me that much? How can you leave me like this?' His mind was racing with all kinds of thoughts, he was furious would be an understatement by looking at his condition. He threw the glass on the wall, loud shattering of glass was heard and on cue he yelled while staring at the bed as if she was still there.

"You cannot escape me, Scarlett Stanford. I'll find you soon and then I'll never let you go!" His red eyes blazing and his fangs exposed, his pale skin made him look more scarier. Not having his mate by his side almost drove him crazy but he could feel her. The mate bond of a royal vampire are very powerful and strong compared to any normal mate bond, even when they weren't mated -he could still feel her feelings and once in a while a very short vision would come to him out of his desperation. Scarlett ran away from him, she even took the little black witch with her -Nicole Le Mart.

There were many misunderstandings between them and he knew very well that it will take a long time for Scarlett to forgive him for what he did, but never in his wildest dreams had he thought that Scarlett would escape, leaving him all alone, mateless. Suddenly he started to feel very stuffy and anxious, he placed his right hand on his chest and closed his eyes. A vision came in his view....

Scarlett walked in the cafeteria as half of the students turned to look at her, which mostly consisted of boys. She was drop dead gorgeous, and it's hard to see such a beauty for a normal human. Scarlett felt the eyes of so many people on her which made her anxious but she kept a blank face and took a plate filling it with chicken nuggets and a sandwich. She walks to the farthest empty table and sits down quietly.

He feels a jolt as the vision comes to an end. 'She is anxious.' Even though they didn't mark each other but their bond was still very strong compared to others. The Vampire King, the strongest creature of the kingdom and as his mate, Scarlett was as strong as him afterall she was turned into a vampire by her very mate, The Vampire King himself.

He needed to find her as soon as possible, without her he was nothing. Whenever he gets visions of her, he tries to figure out where in the world is she but he couldn't find a clue. Now he knows that she enrolled in a university. He needed to find her through these visions if his men couldn't find a lead on her.

He took out his phone and dialed a number, "Check all of the universities. Find her as soon as possible."

In Ceben

Scarlett was sitting in the cafeteria when a girl with blonde hairs walks up to her,

"Hey, Scarlett Stanwood right?"

Scarlett looks up at her, shoulder length blonde hairs, hazel eyes with a small face stared back at Scarlett. Scarlett tilted her head,

"And you are?"

The girl smiled at Scarlett, "I'm Artemia La Croix, your roommate in dorm."

Scarlett looked at her in confusion.

"Oh and how can I help you?" Scarlett has always been straightforward, right to the point.

Artemia looked a little surprised at her response but still sat down on the seat across Scarlett.

Scarlett was baffled, 'Looks like a long conversation.' Scarlett thought to herself.

"I wanted to ask, why didn't you move in the dorm? I went through so much to make you my roommate but you didn't even show up." Artemia looked at Scarlett with a little pout.

Scarlett kept a blank face but her stomach was in knots of anxiousness.

"What do you mean?" Scarlett looked at Artemia with a sharp gaze.

"Oh right, you don't even know. Umm.. how should I put it. Look I'm the Princess of Ceben, my dad is the king, Deven La Croix. So I need to be extremely careful about the people I keep around myself. It's not really safe to share a room for me but I wanted to experience the life of University. So I went through so much just to select you as my roommate and you didn't even show up."

Scarlett was stupefied.

"You are the Princess? But why me?" Scarlett narrowed her eyes at Artemia.

"Yes, I'm a princess but I want to live like a normal person. You and I have similar hobbies and interests and you look so gorgeous and my mother did a background check on you. You are the best among the people I went through so I choose you." Artemia was always pampered since childhood and she was used to get what she wanted. Although Artemia sounded ridiculous and childish, she had a pure heart. Artemia was never good with words.

Scarlett spoke sharply, "You did a background check on me?" her voice was murderous. Artemia felt chills down her spine.

Artemia stuttered, "I I that I- it wasn't my intention but for my safety, i it -that was a must."

"Just because you are a princess, you did a background check on me? And you are telling me that's legit here? Scarlett's eyes flashed which Artemia didn't notice but someone else did. Ryder rushed towards Scarlett and grabbed Scarlett's hand, "Let's go. You need to calm down."

Scarlett's eyes held a murderous glint and Artemia was scared out of her wits when she saw Scarlett's expression.

"S.. sc.. scar.. -Scarlett I didn't mean it that way. Please calm down." Artemia stuttered as Ryder dragged Scarlett out of the cafeteria.
