Queen Charolette

Owen’s Beloved

Charolette walked through the new campus. Her brother insisted on touring her around. Robyn and Owen didn’t seem to be too happy about it either. She had insisted on her roommate showing her around.

“I don’t know why you insist on staying with a whole campus of humans.”

She looked at Owen, “well I have constant blood deliveries just like you. I don’t have a beloved so any way I can find them....”

Miles sighs, “tell me you aren’t staying with who I think you are.”

Charolette chuckles, “come on Miles. We all have been together for what feels like forever. You and Lawrence used to hang out with us up until about a hundred years ago.”

“One of our cousins is very dangerous and you know it.”

She smiles, “and we aren’t?”

He gets in her face. “Joan is a vicious killer.”

“Who taught her?” She said so low that even Robyn couldn’t hear. “Plus you know Edith wouldn’t come without her. Might as well get used to it. You will see her a lot...with someone in your life.”

They both look at Owen, “what?”

“Nothing. My sister is just a pain.”

Robyn looks at us closely, “you two blend in well for being so old.”

Charolette nods, “you will get used to it. We are forced to change with the times. It would be odd if we still spoke like we were from the fifteen hundreds. Especially since we were super entitled back then.”

Miles laughs, “well you were a Queen.”

“You were a Count. Haha. Man my husband then sucked. It was lucky Aunt Constance changed us all.”

Miles looks down. “I miss her.”

“Joan didn’t mean to and you know it.”

He sighed, “I blame Clyde. If it wasn’t that evil man, she would still be here.”

“Queenie!!!!!! I have been looking everywhere for you.”

Miles gritted his teeth, “Joan.”

She turned, “oh Miles! I’ve missed you!”

Joan flew into his arms a little too quickly, “Joan, be careful we are around humans.”

Joan tossed her ginger hair over her shoulder. This showed of the freckles on them since she was wearing a tank top and tight skirt. Charolette always thought her cousin to be beautiful, but lacked in the curves and brain department.

“Oh party poopers. I’m so excited to try and find my beloved! Oh who are you!?!”

She set her eyes on Owen, but Miles blocked her, “he is off limits. Is Edith around? We need to meet with her.”

Joan grumbled, “gosh could you make me feel more unwanted. She is organizing the room. Like you have to ask. She hasn’t stopped being the mother figure even with Lawerence gone.”

“Well let’s head to the room and maybe play games.”

Joan rolled her eyes, “you are all so boring. I was planning on dragging the girls to a party tonight. Wouldn’t that be more fun to have Edith meet Mr. Offlimits in a more populated setting.”

“Is that okay with you guys? I was hoping to check out the people on campus.” Charolette wiggled her eyebrows, “maybe my beloved is here.”

“Doubt it.” Robyn chuckled.

“I already don’t like your beloved, Miles.” Joan laughed and wrapped her arm around Char. “I mean how can you be mean to our Queen.”

Charolette bumped hips with Joan, “I’m no longer Queen, just a master to the most fickle Kiss.”

“Wait, she isn’t…”

Miles nodded, “meet your master. We all just call her Queen Charolette.”

“Before we leave to get ready for the party.”

Joan walks to Owen and wraps her arms around him. Charolette rolls her eyes. Owen pushes her back and gives an odd look.

“What are you doing?”

Joan waved as she began to walk away, “just making sure E will come to the party.”

Edith sniffed the air as they entered the room. She raced to Joan who held her arms open. This allowed Edith to take in the scent even more. She hissed at her cousin and launched her through the door. Luckily Charolette was behind to catch her.

“You found my beloved and couldn’t keep your hands off him! Seriously Jo, what the hell?”

Char smirks, “whoa E, you carnal animal you, she only hugged him. That was entertaining though. We are meeting him at a party later and Jo knew if you didn’t smell him..well you wouldn’t believe us.”

“Well I’m going. You better not of done anything. I’m not afraid to stake you!”

Jo got up laughing, “as interested I am to see you try. I am innocent. At least when it comes to you.”

They ignored the glares from their neighbors and all walked back into the room. Edith became like a mad woman. Her ginger hair was in a blur as she rushed around the room. Joan and her looked so similar, but Edith was more conservative in her style.

“I think I will wear this. Very sexy spy vibes, no?”

Charolette laughed at her cousin, “stunning. You should curl out your hair though. Make the sleek look more memorable.”

“What are you wearing Char?” Edith said throwing clothes around.

She grabbed a green dress from her closet. It had a deep green velvet texture to it. She paired it with a laced choker that had a black jewel hanging from it. She took her blond shorter hair and curled it slightly. It was parted right down the middle.

They left the dorm thirty minutes later. They approached the frat house. You could hear the music from outside even without supernatural hearing. Edith sniffed the air and took off. She became angry as Joan and Char pulled her back. She turned with anger laced in her golden eyes. She straightened her red satin dress.

“What the hell? He’s here! I have to go find him!”

Jo pushed her slicked straighten hair behind her ear. “At human speed love. Also we wanted to say something.”

“We love you E. We know we won’t be top priority soon and that is okay. We are so happy for you, little vamp. Thank you for taking care of us.”

Edith rushed and hugged them. “You guys! I love you and your still my Kiss. Thank you though.”

Joan smirked, “oh and we plan on being out all night….sooo.”

She chuckled through a small sob. She wasn’t wearing makeup, she never did. Her beauty was natural. Edith nodded then turned toward the building at human speed and walk in to find her beloved.
