Married to a Vampire

chapter 4

Two maids appeared in front of me 'my lady’, they greeted with a bow 'my lady shall we prepare?’ they inquired.

Prepare me for what?, Preparing is what I have been doing through out my life time and it has now become part of me but I thought since I have gotten married I should not have done much preparation again.

I was led to a dressing room without them showing my chamber, where the maids helped me get out of my wedding dress and slip into a beautiful black night gown and it matching rope, both made of wool. They took out the pins in my hair and let it fall down in waves. After putting some night smell ointment unto my skin, a tea was served.

‘What the hell is this'? I shouted 'its an herb tea that will help you relax, and it will decrease some pain you might have gone through in your journey' one of the maid explained in a polite but timid manner. What pains? I was confused but then what she was explaining was right and my temper suddenly changed.

They must have seen the horror in my face because they was pity in their own faces. Why did they pity me?, Was the marriage going to be that though with me? Would it be that rough?, Am I inside an hell that I can’t come out?, He didn’t seem like a gentle type from the look he gave me earlier in our kingdom, it's like the red eye he uses to look at me signify danger. It was as if he was the hell fire himself. I don’t need their pity I have firmed and stood up straight with a strong mind after a last zip of the tea. Just that me to the chamber, I requested.

They led me to our private chamber, and sat me down on the bed, adjusting my dress over and over again, they took one last look at my makeup to make show all was perfect. In the chamber were portrait of many people I can’t tell, status of some dangerous creatures but it’s had a nice smell with a good ventilation. We will tell His Highness that you are ready, they chorus and left .

The worst scenario appeared in my head and my heart pounded so hard In my chest. I was afraid it was going to explode. My hands started shaking and sweating at the same time and was getting hard to exhale oxygen from my lungs. I waited patiently for what seemed like an hour, but was likely just minutes.

Suddenly I heard a footsteps from the corner of the corridor of the long castle and then to the corridor where our second chamber was located, but did not hear the footsteps for some time, the next step was the opening of the door I was. He (Amber) stepped inside, he has changed into more comfortable clothes which also shows that he was royalty and he then walked towards the bed I was sitting.

“Are you okay” he asked, “I am your highness”. “Amber” he corrected. Amber I repeated in barely a whisper.

“Then we should go to sleep” he said and laid down on the bed. “I am tired too”. Amber looked at the woman in front of him. She looked so scared and innocent. He wondered if she was scared of the obvious reasons or about the rumour she heard about him. But either way, he did not blame her. Most people feared him even his own father. He never dated to look at his son in his eye. Amber wondered what he has done to make his father fear him.

Inside of him he knew he was different but he himself could not tell who actually he was, maybe if his mother was alive she would of told him a little of who he was.

He had even scared himself when he was a little boy, when transforming into so many creatures he could not know. During this time he had discovered what he could do starting from when he raised a stone with just a thought to when he was able to read people's mind. He was able to kill a lion with his meditations. Meditations is what he could not figure out even up till now he has grown up because he tries sometimes and it fails.

He was also wished that his brothers could burn down to dust and suddenly some of his brothers important personal belongings including their clothes and jewelry were burn down to dust.

The worst of his childhood transformation was when he burn down their old castle with just a burning thought in his mind, everyone ran out of the castle, while it was still burning he came out without the fire burning him.

He was scared of his actions and then ran to a lonely place where he sat in a corner crying. Suddenly he failed asleep but he was woken up with an old man with grey hairs. The old man's eyelashes were so long that it covers his eyes. He was dress with the scale of a dry python snake. Amber cleaned his to make sure it wasn’t dream. You have many gift the man said, you are the prophecy of many kingdoms in the World not visible to human eyes but you must learn to control your powers.

All your powers is in the mind except the vampires blood that controls seventy percent of your body that depends on blood but can still be controlled. Learn the powers one after the other and know when to use them. Don’t be scared you are a gifted child, he concluded then vanishes into the air without allowing him to ask questions.

I’m his lonely situation he thought he could have who can understand him, but who his Father already feared and hated him. His mother was dead, he wondered how she would reacts. He then started controlling himself of some of his actions.

At first his brothers use to play with him but when they got older and started their Royal training, they noticed he was faster, stronger and a better fighter then even his senior.

He was also a skilled swordman, when fighting with sword he could move very fast without anybody being able to dictate his movement in the air. His teachers always praised him more than his brother jealous of him and they hated him for that. Stop cheating you blood sucker they would say.

The maid had mixed feelings about him, they were attracted to him as they were scared too. Some liked the thrill while some like the danger. The young ones would give him a seductive glance buy the older maids would say, “prince Amber is more dangerous than what you think”. You people should be careful they added.

The only people who did not fear him or hate him we’re his men, his soldiers. They were tough men who did not believe in rumours. They respected him, still they were not his family he could only talk business with them.

He looked at the woman now laying beside him, she was his only family and must do everything to protect her. She was laying so far out on the edge, he was afraid she would fall down from the bed. She did not move, she looked stiff. He could still hear her heart beating wildly. He moved his right hands to the direction that she was, then uses his left to arrange her already arranged hair. She was beautiful. She turn to face me with her eyes open.

Enjoy your sleep he said, Nooo am not sleeping she said. Pulling herself to put together, she stood up to sit on the bed still looking at me. Then let me tell you some secrecy and the future of your kingdom he said. Which kingdom, my father’s kingdom? She asked in a more romantic voice, Yes I replied.

“Your father hated magicians in your kingdom and would burry anyone who practices it alive it alive”, yes she said. It’s okay, but the destiny of that great Kingdom raised on the shoulder of your father's grandson, that is the son of the young prince of Omobara Kingdom who is your brother. He will be the strongest and the most powerful of his time. He will conquer many territories than your father, he will reach where his father would have reach. He would be a reborn of the ancient grand Vampire. “Vampire” she yelled, yes vampire he replied.

Years to come all the kingdoms around your father's territories shall join hands and embarked in a very tough war with your father's kingdom. They shall defeat them, your father and the young prince your brother will die in the war. The only surviving hope, he shall be the last hope of your people, he will be the one to rescue your people from suffering. The heir to the lineage of your father would be brought to us to nature and train for the war ahead of him. After many years of your people's suffering he would go back to his father's kingdom raised a very tough war against them and he shall won.

All this would be seen by a great magician in your kingdom, the chief adviser to your father who live in the same roof with your him. He would be the Saviour of your father’s grandson. “So my father’s chief adviser s is a magician” she exclaimed. If my father discover this he would be buried alive. But my father has never loose in war since I was born, how would this happen when my father has many talented soldiers and powerful men in his kingdom. This would happen because the secrecy of your kingdom would be leaked to your father’s enemy by your former maid Mogana. With this she burst out in tears.

He wanted given her more of what the future would hold but she was already sobbing, he ended the discussion go close to her while she raised her head in his shoulder still crying. He console and told her to be strong that they have many chapters of their lives to unveil. She was now strong hearted a little and told him to continue. He then told her to go to sleep that he would continue the next day. He then cover her with a blanket while she lay her head in my chest and slept off.

A moment after she might have slept off a voice said the World of the Vampires has just been restored to suck more blood and bring more people to our World, the kingdom of the universe would be full of Vampires. He stood up to check where the voice was coming from but was smashed by a shocking thunder who vibrate his body till he looses consciousness
