Chapter 3
Emily awoke in a small, windowless room. She had no idea how much time had passed since she had been taken by the man in the forest. She felt disoriented and scared, but also strangely drawn to her captor.
She heard footsteps approaching and braced herself for the worst. But when the door opened, she saw that it was the man from the forest.
He approached her, his eyes burning with a fierce intensity.
"Emily," he said. "I know you're scared. But you have nothing to fear from me. I love you, and I want to make you my queen."
Emily didn't know what to say. Part of her wanted to run away as fast as she could, but another part of her was inexplicably drawn to the man's dark charisma.
"Who are you?" she asked.
The man smiled. "My name is Damien. And I am a vampire."
Chapter 4
Emily couldn't move .
Emily's heart raced as Damien revealed his true nature. She had heard stories of vampires before, but she had never believed they could be real. Now, face to face with one, she didn't know what to think.
"You're a vampire?" she asked, trying to keep her voice steady.
"Yes," Damien replied. "And you are my chosen bride. We were meant to be together, Emily. You are the one I have been waiting for."
Emily looked at him, trying to understand what he was saying. She didn't want to believe it, but there was something about him that made her feel both afraid and excited at the same time.
"What does that mean?" she asked.
