Miss Independent by Taylor DelaCruz

I'm Aria Drei I am 18 years old and I am the daughter of the famous Aleen Drei . I come from a long line of powerful, independent women . My mom Aleen taught me everything I needed to know of becoming a successful model . I don't know my dad my mom used a sperm donor she said she doesn't need a man in her life . I have a little brother named Arden , though mother never liked males she seems to love him to death . "Today's the big day!" mother yells . Aria sighs and groans from the sunlight touching her delicate ,sleepy eyes .Arden rushes into the room and jumps on Aria still half asleep ."Wow you two seem to be awfully excited of me leaving " Aria replies . "Your going into the big world honey , finally becoming an independent woman " mother replies with glossy eyes . "Come on get up , your driver will be here in 30 minutes . You better get ready " mother says ." 30 minutes that's not nearly enough time " I thought . i rush into the bathroom for a quick shower and got dressed . Once I was finished I heard the driver outside .Mother , Arden and I said our goodbyes and I was on my way to the airport . ON THE PLAIN I was assigned to first class. Captain : Good morning passengers, our next stop is to Los. Angeles, Calforina . I hope you enjoy this flight . I closed my eyes and woke up when I heard the captain speaking again ."We have arrived " he said . I got off the plain and was escorted to my luxurious apartment , mother and I decided on . As soon as I got there I fell onto the bed I was completely jet lagged , it was hard to sleep considering the loud music playing next door . The next morning I woke up pass 5 getting ready for my first meeting with the modeling agents .When I left my room , a handsome man with dark brown hair and gorgeous blue eyes bumped into me . "Watch it dude !" he yells as he's picking he's phone up from the ground . " I can assure you that your the one that bumped into me and don't ever call me dude again" i replied . he looked up suddenly surprised with Arias beauty he examines her long blonde hair and then stares into her big gorgeous green eyes ."I actually have to be somewhere so if you could kindly remove yourself from standing in my way , that would be great " I said breaking the silence . " That's the most British thing I've heard all day , I'm Darius by the way " he says holding out his hand ."and I'm late so if you'll excuse me " I reply as I walk pass him . What a j*rk , hes handsome but that seems to be it . LA modeling center I arrive and I'm greeted by a gorgeous lady in her mid 40s ."Wow , your even prettier in person " she says as she hugs me , she smells so good ."I'm Aria pleased to meet your acquaintances " I reply . 5 hours later I return back to my apartment . It seems to be quite next door but before I can open the door to my apartment Darius opens his door . " Hey there gorgeous " he says I turn to look at him and his eyes turn from blue to red , there's a struggle on he's face . " W w w what's wrong with your eyes ?" I say. He moves towards me almost trying to force himself not to . "What are you doing?" I yelled " Y y you are my mate " he says looking straight into my eyes . " Are you on drugs ? " I asked " No but being near you sure feels like it." I rush to open my door but there he appears infront of me , how did he move so fast ?? "Don't be scared " he whispers into my ear . I start to breathe heavily. He smells me and then groans . "You smell so good " he says breathing faster . " Dont be afraid of me please . I am a vampire but your also my mate. " he says "whattt a vampire???" I thought to myself . He escorts me into he's apartment and locks the door . " I won't hurt you , I just have to make sure you don't tell anyone " he says then places me down on he's sofa . He then walks over to the bathroom and comes back with a needle then stabs it into he's veins , he groans . He's eyes turn blue again ." I have searched all over for my mate " he says breaking the silence. " Never thought it would be a human " he says walking to me . I sit there speechless . He then looks into my eyes hes eyes now turning red and says " You are never to tell anyone who I am ." I nod my head . and he escorts me to my apartment. As soon as I got to my apartment I called 911 but not a single word escapes my mouth " what is happening " I thought . Did he compel me ??
