See Love Die

His fangs grazed against her neck, his kisses soft but desperate. "Let me take you my belle, be forever mine" "I will be yours soon enough my love, let me feel my heart beating for a little longer" ⠀⠀ She felt him smirk against her neck and his hand graze her thigh. He trailed kisses up her neck once more and crashed his lips into hers until they were both tangled up laying on the grand king-sized bed in her Chambers. He was strong, as he should be being a royal soldier to her fathers kingdom. Her father who was missing right now. The thoughts struck her again and she froze beneath Christoph. For some reason he did not stop, and she could feel his arousal against her thigh. He moved to straddle her and she tried to tell him to stop but it was too late as he had already placed his hand over her mouth and was rubbing his stiffness against her. A single tear found itself falling from her eye as she anticipated that consent was no longer necessary in Christophs eyes. Blood lust had taken over and every vampire on duty as much as he was, would not have had a chance to hunt properly. She just hoped he didn't kill her. ⠀⠀ She jolted as she felt his hand move from her thigh up to her satin panties, slipping them to the side as he inserted an ice cold finger inside her. "Please" she whispered, frozen on the spot. This did nothing for he just continued to enter her, moaning no doubt at how much power he had in this current moment. He stopped briefly, only to replace the finger with his hard shaft and this felt much worse, her tightness she hoped would prevent him entry only made it more uncomfortable as he forced his way deeper and deeper. Taking inch after inch of her innocence. ⠀⠀ She held her eyes closed tight and wished for it to be over, she could feel his hot breath on her neck and he released his fangs once more, running them gently over her jugular. Within seconds she felt the sharp scratch as he penetrated her skin, feeding from her and releasing his venomous blood inside her. This made him stronger and more forceful, and she was now crying louder as he moved her frozen body up, and down reoccurringly causing breath to leave her body. She tried to scream, but this made him mad and he placed a harder grip on her throat catching her breath and making her unable to make a single noise. He got faster and more forceful and as he was coming close to his climax, his grip getting tighter and tighter. She heard it before she felt anything, a distinct crack of her bones. And then it was Dark. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ "Harry"... ⠀⠀⠀ "HARRY!" ⠀⠀ She's snapped out of her flashback, Cheryl is waving her hand up and down infront of her face, her other hand holding a drink. ⠀⠀ "Sorry Chez, in my own world" she says, lifting her own drink to her lips, the bitterness of the Gin tickling her throat but numbing her suppressed emotions, doing its job. ⠀⠀ She looks around at the party she's at, dad would have killed her if he was around. The soldiers have been trying to find him for months now. They won't give up, but it can't be good if nobody has asked for a ransom payment in order to send him home. There are hundreds of people here tonight, they're in Warlock territory as Werewolves can't be on Vamp turf and vice versa. Warlocks and Witches were neutral, friends and accomplice to both, whereas wolves and nightwalkers have that much history it stays present. ⠀⠀ They were civil and had treaties, shared friends in secret and she thought some of them were really cool. They just stayed out of each others business, didn't sleep with each other and only hung out in private so that their old school families didn't lose their s**t. The Alpha was here though, his father passed away young leaving Conrad as an Alpha at only 12 years old. He's been doing great the last 8 years and didn't let the pressure get too much. They were literally only civil due to him being Alpha and her being the next in line for the throne, Queen of The Dark Village, her families kingdom and where all Vampires reside. ⠀⠀ She looks at Cheryl who is babbling on about the meeting with Headmistress Katrina this upcoming Tuesday. She was caught smoking and as their school is strict on everything from what they wear down to what they eat, typically elk and deer blood, this was bad. "She'll only give you extra kitchen duties" smiled Harriette. "Exactly, and I'll be stuck with Germain" Cherly rolled her eyes that far she could see how much fluid surrounded her brain. ⠀⠀ "He's not so bad, be patient little one" she smiled, "I'm going to grab another drink". Harriette got up, and headed toward the kitchen of Eli's house. It had 7 bedrooms, 4 with en suites. All 3 of the family bathrooms had marble surfaces and chrome fittings. She passed the games room, filled with retro machines, aswell as up to date consoles. Obviously this was filled with frat like wolves and warlocks.. the odd growl emmiting when one would die on Call of Duty. ⠀⠀ She finally reached the kitchen where Chase and Conrad, plus Conrads usual tag alongs were. The girls surrounding the Alpha would hang on to his every word laughing like they were on timers. Chase looked uncomfortable, knowing Cheryl would behead any mut that got too close to her boyfriend of 4 years. His head turned to Harriette as she walked over, a smile of relief reaching his lips. "There she is" he beamed, pulling her into a hug. ⠀⠀ She loved Chase, he was like a brother to her. She'd never had any brothers and when he starting dating her best friend, he would always look out for her, especially because she only turned this summer and was a human amongst many, many not so mythical creatures. He was supportive when she had blood lust that could wipe an entire city, and always knew when Christoph was making her uncomfortable and would pull him away on solider talk. She couldn't tell anyone but her 2 best friends about what he did. She had to act like it was what she wanted, until her father was home. ⠀⠀ "What are you neanderthals talking about?" She grinned. "Your intoxicated state" spat Conrad. "Ohh live a little" she retaliated, spinning in her spot. ⠀⠀ "Bold statement from someone who isn't living at all" Ouch, that one was triggering. She bore her fangs and hissed at him to make a statement and went in search of more alcohol. Once she'd found a bottle of dark liquor, she made her way to the dance floor and partied all of her stresses away.. as per usual. ⠀⠀ The last thing she remembered was Beatrix, her 16 year old baby sister, tucking her into bed and placing some aspirin and a bottle of water next to her bed for the morning. She was the best little sister ever, and Harriette felt so remorseful for her actions as Beatrix had to look after her and her mum lately.. neither of them were taking her father's disappearance very well at all. ⠀ ⠀ Her head swollen from drinking her bodyweight in alcohol, Harriette picked up the Aspirin and downed them alongside the whole bottle of water. This was going to be a long Sunday. ⠀⠀ She took out her phone and read her messages from the night before. A message from Cheryl, written by Chase to let her know they were home safe. 3 from Christoph, wondering what she was up to and what she was wearing. Bleurgh She sent him a response so he wouldn't turn up. She was interrupted by a knock on the door, she closed her eyes and drew a breath, hoping it wasn't her boyfriend. "Harry?" It was a soft, feminine voice. THANK god. ⠀⠀ She said, internally. ⠀⠀ "Come in Bee, thankyou for the breakfast" She shot her sister a smile across the room, Beatrix walked across her marble floors and let her toes sink into the bear fur rug her mother had picked out for Harriette when she was only Beatrix's age. Bee smiled, "It's okay, mom is feeling a lot worse this morning" she said, sadness clouding her beautiful blue eyes. They would eventually be golden, just like Harriettes, but their parents wanted her to stay human for now, as did Harry. ⠀⠀ "No doubt, let the servants aid to mom Bee, that's why they're here and you shouldn't have to see her like that" Their mum had taken things extra hard the past few weeks. Their father had yet to return, and she had sole responsibility to care for the kingdom. Fights, taxes, laws being broken. Everything was upside down. The look on Beatrix's face broke her heart. She wanted so badly to make it go away. ⠀⠀ "Bee, why don't we go out today? Get some shopping" she suggested. This made Beatrix's eyes light up. "Yes!" She ran from the enormous room and into her own, no doubt to empty her wardrobe and find something elegant to wear. Harriette decided casual was her bestie, and applied her makeup before putting on some Levi jeans and a Gucci hoodie. Alongside matching black Balenciaga trainers. When Harriette did casual, it still cost thousands. The joys of being sickeningly rich. ⠀ ⠀ The shopping trip was hours long, they had flicked through dresses, Beatrix had tried to swindle a pair of Louis Vuitton heels to match her bag but her sister disagreed and did not want her sexualising herself so soon. Not after what had happened to her. ⠀⠀ She settled on some Trainers instead and they had gone for Milkshakes, Bee having a meal and Harry looking like a typical 18 year old that watched her weight having nothing but a milkshake. Little did eyes in the town centre know, that she'd gladly eat one of them if they wanted to continue staring at her like that. ⠀⠀ The drive home was relieving, both giggling about boys at Beatrix's school and who to avoid incase her big sister dissaproved and decided to brainwash them into embarrassing themselves infront of a big assembly. The Palace doors creaked slightly upon entrance into their home, and Beatrix ran straight upstairs to unpack her bags and try on some dresses. Harriette decided now she would snack, and headed toward the kitchen fridge for an elk shake. ⠀⠀ Passing the office she heard voices, a particular one she did not want to hear. Christoph. Her heart sank, but she didn't move. It was about her father. ⠀⠀ "At this point we're just looking for a body, but the royals won't let us release a press statement for searches like that to take place" "The more external services we get involved, the more likely news will get leaked" came from another man. ⠀⠀ "Exactly" replied Christoph, "don't wanna be getting blamed for that around here" he scoffed. "So what do we do?" the other guy asked. "What we have been, some days we follow leads, others we say we've followed leads" ⠀⠀ And she'd heard enough. Her appetite was suddenly diminished, and she headed back out to her car and made her way to Cheryl's place. Home was not where she wanted to be right now, she wanted to avoid him at all costs. ⠀⠀ What she needed now, was a plan. She had to stop drinking her problems away, and find her father. His soldiers weren't even taking this seriously, he could he hurting and bleeding out and they haven't even bothered to follow all of their leads. The longer this went unsolved, the more danger her father was in and the longer Christoph was around. ⠀ She needed this nightmare to be over.. and soon.
