She woke up to the smell of pancakes and bacon. She got out of bed and wanted to change into clean clothes but realized she didn’t have any.
James walked in the room with a beautiful pink dress and other clothes for her. New underwear, shirts , pants, PJs, socks and bras.
“ How did you do this? “ She asked excitedly. “I checked the tags on your clothes while you slept and went to the shop before sunrise.”
“Thank you so much.” she replied kissing him on the cheek. “I’ll leave the room while you change.”
She put on her clothes and admired herself in the mirror. She made her bed and set the rest of her clothes on it. She opened her door and walked into the hallway. It was a grand mansion with a spiral staircase and many rooms.
“Hello my love you look so ravishing today.” He pulled her into his arms and kissed her on the lips.
She kissed him back but just a quick one.
“I still don’t know much about you and we just met.” “Once you know everything you will see we are perfect for each other.” He said, hugging her tighter.
“Let’s have some breakfast.” He lead her into this gorgeous kitchen. Black walls with golden appliances and a golden sink.
“Wow you really have an amazing place.”
“ Only the best for you my queen.” He said as he kissed her hand. They sat down to eat breakfast together.
“I thought vampires didn’t eat and only drank blood.”
“ We can eat but don’t get much out of it. This was more for you my dear.” “It’s delicious, thank you.” “ I’m glad you like it. I’ll give you anything you want.”
“ May I have my freedom to leave the house as I please?” “ Yes but you have to be in before sunset. There are many dangerous creatures out there. I burn in the sunlight if I’m out more then an hour so I can’t go with you.”
“So may I take a walk after breakfast?” “Yes but follow the path. Once you get to the lake don’t go any further. You must come back by sunset. Can I trust you not to run away?” “Yes you can and thank you for everything.” She hugged him and gave him a kiss. “Oh my sweet I cannot wait till you fall in love with me.” He said as he kissed her.
“I feel like I am falling for you. But I been hurt by so many in the past that said they cared for me. So can we take it slow. I’m. Not 18 yet and this is new to me. I’m still scared but happy too.” She kissed him back.
“I promise you I won’t do anything to hurt you, and when you are 18 I have something special for you.”
He held her tight and they kissed once more .
“I’m going on my walk now I won’t be out late.”
“Hurry back my dear.” He said as she walked out the door
She walked down the dirt path down towards the water. Beautiful pink and purple flowers lining each side of the path. She got down to the water and sat down on a dock. The mansion no longer in sight. The warm sun is caressing her skin. Suddenly she feels a hand touch her shoulder. She flinches a bit and turns around. “ Who are you?” she asked. A man is standing before her. Shoulder length blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes.
“I live near here, it’s nice to meet you. You are very cute, he says as he takes her hand and presses his lips against it. She blushes. “Thank you very much.” “ Do you live near here?” He asks not wanting to let her hand go
“Yes but I don’t know yet if I’m staying or not. I ran away from home and someone kind took me in, his name is James.”
The man cringed at the name. “I’ve heard about his family. They kill humans for sport. They are not good people. I’d leave as soon as you can.” She pulled her hand away from him
“He’s been treating me really well. He bought me new clothes, makes me delicious food and protects me.”
“He’s a deceiver. He can control other humans with his mind. I can protect you from him.” “I don’t even know you. How do I know anything you are saying is true.” she says stepping back from the water.
“I’ll show you a secret. If I show you what most don’t know about me will you trust me?” “I don’t know.” She replied.
He started changing shape. What was once a human standing before her , was now a vampire. With sharp fangs. “ I’m a shape shifter. I can look like a human when needed or a vampire.”
She stepped back. “Wow that’s amazing.” She said in shock. He stepped closer to her and wrapped his arms around her. “ What would be more amazing is if I could have a woman like you. I’ve never seen someone as beautiful as you in all my years. He leaned in to kiss her. Leaving his scent on her tongue so that James would know he’s been with her. She felt a wave of electricity throughout her body as he kissed her. It felt indescribable, but she pulled back.
“I know what you said about James but I still have feelings for him I’m sorry. I have to go.”
She started running up the path.” He shouted after her. “ You're making a mistake.” She ignored him and kept running. It was getting dark and she was just getting to the mansion when a faceless being grabbed her and began sucking the energy from her. She started screaming. The mysterious vampire that had just been by the lake ran up the path and punched the entity in the gut. It disappeared into the darkness.
“ What was that?” She asked while getting to her feet. “That was a void. It sucks the life out of humans and other creatures.” “Thank you for saving me but I still want to be with James. We can be friends maybe but that’s it.” The vampire could smell James approaching . “I must go but think on what I said.” With that he disappeared.
Skye fell to the ground feeling weak from the energy being drained from her.
