Alasiahs pov

After I finished getting everything ready for me to leave I have a hard time falling asleep. I lay down on the bed and stroke Aziels fur, calming me down I finally drift off to sleep.

I wake up to the birds singing along with Nova crowing telling me to wake up it’s almost time and the sun shining brightly in through the cracks of the wood of my cottage. Today will be a good day, well it should be. Today’s the day me and my father are making a peace treaty with one of the neighboring covens of vampires.

Our covens haven’t gotten along for the longest time and since I should be taking over the obaven in a year, i thought it would be a great idea to start off in a good relationship with them.

I got out of my bed looking at my golden raven, Nova squaking and sitting on her perch and start getting ready for the big day. I grab my brush off my night stand and start brushing my long flowing red hair, starting at the ends to make it easier. As I finish brushing I pull it back into a beautiful braid to keep it out of my face. I go to my drawers and pull out a pretty dark green lacy dress to meet the elders in and visitors from a coven of vampires close to us.

As I start walking towards the door to leave Nova asks if she can come with me. “Yes you can come with me but you have to behave!”.

“Okayyyy, gosh. I’ll be good,” she says as she flies from her perch to the top of my shoulder.

I walk out of my cottage and start walking to the center of the village. As I continue I hear many of my friends and neighbors saying hello, asking me how I am, and telling me good luck with the meeting today.

“Thank you everybody, I’m doing great. I hope y’all are doing great yourselves. And yes I hope the meeting goes good as well.”.

I reach the community hut where meetings take place and special events happen. Walking in, I hear the bumble of many people talking along with women walking around with trays of food offering it to everyone they walk past. I go to the counters where drinks are being served, I choose to only drink water since this is an extremely important meeting and I want to be as sharp as I can.

I grab my water and walk to the table where my father is sitting.

“Hello dad. How much longer do you think we have to wait until they’re here?”.

“Well, about 15 minutes most likely. They’re still putting their stuff up in the guest huts. How did you sleep?”.

“I slept great dad. I am so excited to meet the elders of the coven to make a treaty with them, and to finally have peace in our coven and surrounding neighbors! I truly think this could turn things around for all of us in the village. We could have better trading posts, better education for our children, and better alliances with these people. Before today, things have been tough for all of us, their coven included. I just hope we can all agree on something that makes us all happy!”.

“Look at you, all grown up. I’m so proud of the woman you’re becoming Alasiah. You will be a great leader to our coven! I just know it.”.

As my father finishes speaking to me the elders of the vampire coven come into our hut. I notice one of their men is missing. I pay no head to it thinking they’re still unpacking for their visit here. I stand up to speak as they all sit down around the table.

“Hello everyone. My name is Alasiah, I’m the coven leaders daughter. We are here today because I will become this covens leader within the year. I want us to get along with all of my neighboring communities. Since your coven and ours relationship has been tense since the beginning, I would like to make a treaty with you. One preferably where we all get what we want. Us a bigger trading area and better education for our children of the coven.

First I would like to ask what you want when the treaty is in place?

The oldest looking man stands up out of all of them. He doesn’t look a day over 50 but is still very handsome.

“Since you mentioned more opportunities for education, we think it would be a good idea for our covens kids to intermingle with y’all’s in school. Second we would like to also have at least a couple of marriages with our covens, of course only people willing to.”.

I look to my father and he shakes his head yes as to signal it’s a good idea.

“I think those could be arranged.”.

As we finish up the treaty papers I hear someone running into the hut.

“He r*ped my daughter! Help me, please!”.

“What are you talking about what happened?”. I look at the men sitting across from me as one stands up and runs to the man and starts beating on him.

“You accuse one of my men. You slimy dirtbag!”

All of the vampires lose control and the man being beaten drops blood all over the hut floor. The man being violent starts drinking blood from the man. They all start coming towards our council members. I look at my father and tell him, “i love you daddy!”, while he tells me to “leave, run to safety and hide.”.

I run out of the hut screaming at the top of my lungs,

“RUN TO SAFETY, THEYRE KILLING EVERYONE. RUN RUN.”.

Nova starts screeching in the sky. I had completely forgotten about her. I tell her to get Aziel and to go meet me at the cave to the far west of our coven in the forest.

I go to my hut and grab my grimore and my enchanted knife. I run out going towards the forest, as I do so all I can hear is the screams of my people and fighting. I have a hard time running through the forest as fast as I could because of the tears in my eyes.

Finally I make it to the cave. I find Nova and Aziel sitting in the far back.

Aziel runs to me chittering and licking my face to comfort me. I start sobbing breaking down, wondering how today went so horribly wrong, remembering the man who was missing from the meeting. I should have called it out before the meeting even started! I feel so weak and horrible. I pass out only waking every few hours only to pass out again.

I wake up screaming drenched in sweat. Nova sqauks ruffling her feathers from being startled, Aziel only looks at me and crawls into my lap.

They both know why I have a hard time sleeping. I still have the nightmares.

“How am I going to get through this. I already have a hard time leaving the kingdom,” I say as I lay back down and try to go back to sleep. “I can’t do this!”. I get up out of the bed and put on my boots.

I walk out of my room going towards the stables. As I’m walking I look at the sky. The sun will be rising soon so I should get my horse ready anyways.

I walk into the stables and see my horse. She has a beautiful black and white body, with a white mane, black tail, and has a green and purple eye. She was gifted to me from the spirits. She will never die or get hurt because she is a spirit horse. She speaks only mind, “Hello Alasiah. What are you doing up so early?”.

“We are going on a little adventure Ocala! We will be going to Gerkie Mountains to get Rodrick’s friends Naydia and Antono. What do you say, are you up for that?”.

“Hell yes I am! Where are we going,” she says as she neighs.”.
