Moon Vampire and the Fire Within

Chapter 9 Sapphire

I went into my closet. Wonder if i even have a dress? I looked around and then I saw the most beautiful dress ever. It was black unerneath and had a purple tule over the top, and the sparkle looked like the night sky was cascading down the dress like a waterfall. It was perfect for a night like tonight. I got undressed and into my new dress, my hair feel down to my waist in gentle waves. I walked over to the full-length mirror, my silver skin sparkled, and my eyes shone violet. My black hair was shiny, and I looked like a vampire princess.

I walked downstairs and saw my father standing at the double doors.

"You look beautiful, Sapphire." My father told me.

"Thank you, Father."

We walked out into the night.

"Your leader has returned. Give a big welcome home to Zander, leader of the night and King of the dragons and the Princess Sapphire." The Moon fairy announced in a booming voice.

We decended down the stairs to the platform, and everyone was clapping and looking at us. Some whistled, and others continued to clap and whisper to each other.

"I'm glad to be back, I missed my kingdom. Shall darkness watch over us all. May the moon goddess watch over us all." He said to the crowd.

He turned and walked back inside; I then turned and followed. the doors closed behind us.

"Go enjoy the night, Sapphire, I believe you have a sutoir waiting for you at the front doors. You picked a good dragon boy for your mate." He said to me.

I didn't say anything, just turned and walked towards the front doors. He was standing there with his arms crossed over his chest. Eyes cast down, and he was the most beautiful creature I ever saw. He looked up when he heard my footsteps.

"Sapphire, I was wondering if you would be my date for the night?" Damien asked me.

"Of course I will." I told him and grabbed his hand.

He pulled my hand up to his lips and kissed it.

"Well, this way, my lady l shall show you the ways of darkness." He said with a smirk and led me out into the night.

He held me close while we danced. We spun in circles but kept to the beat. He was a good dancer, but let me take the lead. People stared. Of course, they did their princess dancing with a warrior dragon. In his arms, I felt safe, I was falling in love with this man. Being here in his arms is where I belong. I was loving every minute of this, and that isn't normal for me. I shouldn't be falling in love with anyone. I should be focused on my duties as the princess of darkness not acting like a lovesick puppy. The werewolfs have mate bonds, and vampires have blood mates, but this is something different. Im not sure what it is, what with me being mainly vampire and him a dragon. How can we even be mates. It's my mothers doing it has to be.

"Sapphire?" He said to me, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"You're so gorgeous, underneath the moonlight. Love the dress, by the way. It looks as if it was made for you." He told me.

"Thank you, I'm glad you like it."

"You want something to drink?" He asked me.

"I'm not a fan of the human blood punch. Maybe they have some regular punch around here."

"I hope so, I don't want to drink any blood unless it's yours." He said and urned to get some punch from the punch bowls.

He brought two wine glasses back of what looked like red wine. Of course, it was not. One of the glasses held a faint smell of blood. Blood that smelled so sweet and minty my mouth started to water. I had no idea how hungry I was till I smelt it. I grabbed the glass from his hands and downed it in one gulp.

"Good goddess, you must be really hungry. How long has it been since your last feed?" He asked me, but I could barely hear him due to the rush the blood wine mixture gave me.

"Sapphire.....SAPPHIRE!!" He yelled at me, but i was gone. I was in a feeding frenzy, and I found my next victim.

It was a rouge one of Vincents men that dared come to the party. It's probably to spy on me. He had no idea I was there it was silent. He didn't even scream. I ate to my fill and let my frenzy die down.

"Sapphire, you scare me sometimes." Damein said to me.

"I should, I'm not just a princess." I said to him, turning my head away from him.

How could he love a monster like me. Who goes into a feeding frenzy when she forgets to feed and can't control it.

"Sapphire, It's ok. We can go back, or we can do something else. I just want to be with you, and I dont think your father will allow us to be in the same room together."

"Yeah, I don't think he would like that at all, but i can sneak you in my bedroom later if you want me to." I said to him while winking and walking back towards the party.

We walked into the crowd and danced and drank some more. I was taken aback by how much fun I was having. I never liked these parties, but this one I very much enjoyed, maybe it was because of Damein. I looked those emerald green eyes and saw that i could spend the rest of my long life with him. He looked right back into my eyes. We leaned closer to each other; he cupped my face with his hand and leaned down closer to me. His lips met mine. It was a deep, passionate kiss, and I saw sparks. We broke apart, breathing heavily. I have never been kissed like that. He was looking at me with hunger and lust in his eyes.

"I want to kiss you again. Can I?" He asked me

I didn't say anything, I just grabbed him and started kissing him, and he kissed me back; We were the only people in the world right now, nothing mattered, but each other.

"Come with me." I whispered in his ear

"I will follow you to the end of the earth." he said back.

We went back into the castle and snuck by my fathers room. We went into my room. Luckily, I have a normal bed in there. I tore at his shirt, and he tore at mine, ripping our clothes off each other.

"Sapphire..... if we keep going, we're gonna mate, and i can't keep my beast back for long."

"I don't care, Damien. I'm yours all yours."

That's all I had to say, and he was on top of me. He growled lowly into my ear, and I moaned. I instantly got wet.

"Sapphire, all you have to do is say stop, and i will."

"No, i want you to keep going. Were mates we should act like it."
