Vampiress

I woke up with my heart damn near beating out of my chest. "What was that?" I asked myself quietly. I took a peak at myself in the mirror next to my bed and I saw my hair wet and stuck to the side of my face from sweat. "That was one steamy dream" I panted. I have been having the same dream about the same man for the past few nights. His big hands running through my long black hair. His mesmerizing emerald green eyes staring into my brown eyes. His tongue lick- "Are you okay?" I snapped out of my thoughts and noticed my sister standing at my door looking at me with a strange look. "Yes, I'm fine." I answered slowly. Looking for any way to change the topic I quickly asked, "What are you doing here? Are you not meant to be in Camp?" "I was but Dad decided I didn't have to go as I'm old enough to be here during the Ceremony." "What?!" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. The ceremony was more like a mating ritual. The Vampires from all over the country would meet in my town and have a f**k fest. Cheating if you were not locked into the Book was completely normal. And cheat they did. Everywhere. I can't believe my father allowed my little sister to be here. Thats why the kids were sent away, so they didn't have to witness this. "I'm 17, Cy. I've done worse, just by the way." Thiala said rolling her eyes at me. I wanted this conversation to be over. Anything but hearing who my little sister enjoys f*****g. "I hear Darius is looking for a lover this ceremony," my sister said casually while playing with my heels from the night before. "Who is-" Before I could even finish my sentence my mother burst into the door and exclaimed: "DARIUS, THE COUNTS SON IS LOOKING FOR A LOVER AND THEY WILL BE STAYING HERE FOR THE CEREMONY!" My mother immediately started cleaning my room and making a fuss. "Are they staying in my room, mother?" I said with an eye roll. "Great", I thought. The Ceremony can last for months and I must have strangers in the castle for that long? No doubt Darius is an arrogant prick. All the other Counts sons are. "Cy, you must pick a dress for their arrival tonight. There will obviously be a ball. We are hosting all the Royals and their families." My mother sang. Literally sang. She gets too excited for these things. "Yes, mother." "And take your sister with you." "Yes mother." "And stop and do your hair." "Yes mother." "And-" Before she could finish I cut her off by closing my room door. Which normally she would have opened immediately and thrown something at me but I guess today she was just too excited. Going into town with my sister was always fun. We would shop to our hearts content and we HAD to get ice cream every time without fail. I had asked my best friend, Natalia, to meet us at the Boutique. "Hey girl!" She called out when she saw me. Embracing me in a big hug she knows I hate. She gave my sister a quick kiss on the cheek and we went inside the store. I stood in front of the mirror pinning up my hair when I saw him in the mirror. Those eyes. The eyes from my dream. I turned my head away from the mirror to get a better look. He was smiling at someone he was talking to but his smile quickly faded when he spotted me. I turned my head quickly and ran to the back of the store. My heart was beating fast and hard again. The door bell of the boutique rang and I closed my eyes. A scent filled my nose and clouded my brain. This was the best scent I've ever smelled in my life. I felt a shadow loom over me and when I opened my eyes he was standing over me. He smelled so good! His brown hair done perfectly. His green eyes staring at me. His tongue playing between his teeth. His lips... The more I stared at his tongue and his lips, the wetter I felt myself getting. Oh yes, the ceremony is definitely around the corner. He leaned down and I held my breath. "Sorry to disturb your s****l fantasies," he said rudely, "But who the f**k are you?"
