Shadow Guy

Chapter Eight

I slid out of the shower and wrapped a white towel around myself, I let my hair loose and wet down my back. It looked almost black, the way it always did when it's wet. The towel reached just above my knee......maybe a little higher but then again, these weren't my towels.

I walked out of the bathroom to be face to face with James, "How long were you out there?!" I asked placing my hands on my hips, he showed no emotion and to be frank I was disappointed that he didn't even look me over, I mean I'm in a towel! With nothing else on!

"The whole time, just so the others don't decide to barge in on you," my frown changed into shock. Ok so I have to live here and now I have to fear some perverted guys walking in on me naked!?!

"Come, I'll show you you're room," I followed behind him. He's so young to be changed but hey so am I and that didn't change anything. He opened the door and my mouth fell open. It was painted a dark purple, my favorite color. I had a walk in wardrobe, a double sized bed, two bedside tables, a desk and two comfy chairs in the middle of the room. "When did....did you...." he cut me off, "We're fast." I was snapped back into reality when two cold hands touched my back and pushed me into the room.

"Hey!" I yelled whilst being thrown into one of the chairs.

"Ok so let's start from the top. I'm gonna tell you about the royal vampires." I'm guessing John was the leader of this pack. He leaned back and examined me over. He started and I leaned back too feeling I was gonna need it. "Three thousand years ago, the one who started this all off was the cross and the blood in all essence. But after that, he tried to change others by getting them to drink from the blood of the cross except it never bled again. So one day he feeds his blood to his friend and after some time he changed and they went on and on changing people. So now back to us. There we're decedents from his side, and those vampires ruled. Don't ask his name no one knows. Back on track, every ninety years a new queen is picked, after him, kings were never allowed as they were valued as weak in restraining, and the last queen selected someone to be the next, the princess. But she never wanted people to know who. She wanted to put our kind to the test so she left our country, let's stop here for a minute. The country has never been found by humans as not only has it been hidden by the new earth but we put up walls to keep humanity from seeing the entrance. Ok back to the rest. She went to an unknown place, there it was lead to believe she poured her blood into a pregnant woman so the child could drink her blood and in a way be her child. She died two days later so our people never believed she managed to achieve her goal.

Not only did the queen kill herself to keep us from ever knowing that she had accomplished her mission but she put a curse onto the unborn. If she is not found out or turned into a vampire five days after the signs of corruption are shown than the princess shall die and Harclet shall never see the face of a new queen again. The reason you are not a queen is because you have not sat on the thrown. Once you are queen no one is allowed to speak your name out of respect, which is why I refer to the Queen as her. Also, she is still our queen even though she is dead.....for good.

Once she was gone our people failed. The rules which James will tell you fell down. Vampires did whatever they pleased, turning so many and killing many, so some to escape this left and habited in other places. Some of us want peace, we want to have the old rules brought up, the ones where you feed on a human and do not kill them.

The sky parting was showing the amount of injustice within our people. The bloodline cannot hold much more. But the legend told of the one who looked up at the sky parting and it would be imprinted in her eyes to show she is the one. That is why it showed here and happened to you, the lost blood vampire princess. Many other vampires are going to try and kill you in order to keep the things they are. Every vampire runs in packs some like us and others who believe that we should live up to our reputation. Those Vampire have a clued name, they call themselves the valpires. They and all other vampires would have heard on the news by now about this and will be making their way here to kill you, others to help protect you.

But you are not a full vampire, so not only will you live but they will not be able to know that you are the vampire princess, but there will be more deaths to come. Your eyes will go back to normal by tomorrow. You should be safe for a few days, maybe even weeks. But I warn you when things turn we will have no choice but to turn you and take you to the throne." I nodded my eyes wide taking in the information. Wow, talk about a history lesson. This guy really wanted to speed by all this.

I have history. The thought of being dead though freaked the crap out of me. "You should have no problem with the weirdness of this cause to tell you the truth you are the weirdest girl I have ever met." Ok, now his voice has gone back to the normal teenage voice.

There was a growl and John got up and left closing the door leaving me and James....alone. James took the seat where John sat and the whole time he kept his head down looking at the floors.

"The rules which WE follow are: we do not kill humans. We never reveal our true identity to any human. We never talk about our home in public. That's it. The other stuff is.....sunlight doesn't do anything to us. We get more sizzle when it's night. Our eyes change with whatever we feel. We have all the powers spoken about in books. We can only die by.......being stabbed with a wooden stake in the throat, anything else or anywhere else does not work. We hardly feel any pain. We lose control sometimes," he lowered his voice and I got what he was talking about. "When you fully change into a vampire you feel more pain then you did before and it lasts for a whole day straight. Your eyes change to the color of the person who changed you. We can't read thoughts but we can tell emotions very easily, apart from.....princesses. in order to change someone fully you bite them until their heart slows and they fall to the ground, then once they faint you feed them your blood from your wrist and....and that's it."

"Jesus Christ, you guys really don't like taking your time. Doubtful I'll remember all that," I said. I just let out a breath, wow a lot to take in but as crazy as this might sound.....it made me feel more comfortable about what I am. I half smiled and spoke. "Is it hard to be near a human?" he looked up at me, he was tense and I just got that I asked a stupid question. My cheeks went red but he answered it anyway.

"Yes but it's harder when your attracted to them......sometimes you can resist other times you can't and.....when you have to change them it....kills you more inside." I saw the pain in his eyes and the next words out my mouth I couldn't believe I actually said them....but it felt right.

"What about me? Not my blood.....just me?" his eyes went darker with lust and for the first time with a guy, I went with the feelings and got up, walked over to him and pulled his hair lightly so that his head went back.

I climbed on to his lap so that my legs were on either side of him. He placed his hands on my waist and my hands moved down to wrap around his neck. "Harder than anything," he whispered as I got closer to his lips.

Wow! Go me! I pressed my lips down on his and even though I didn't know him I didn't care.....it felt right. He kissed back and parted his lips allowing me to enter his mouth and explore. He tasted so good, addicting and of vanilla.

He explored my mouth and I could feel him tense under me at the same time trying to hold himself together. I started to get hotter down below and I knew I wanted him now. I deepened the kiss and pulled away out of breath moving my mouth next to his ear to whisper,

"I never thought you were a monster and I still don't," ok that made him lose control. He wrapped his arms around me and lifted me up slamming my back against the wall, he kissed down my neck and I kept my legs wrapped around him tightly, closing my eyes and moaning with pleasure as he left spots of which he kissed hot and tingly.

What I said before was true, I never said he was and deep down I never believed he was because to me he was the only one who somehow managed to understand me in a wired way. I don't know him....ok well I know what he is but this felt sooooooooooo right it's indescribable.

He kissed up my jawline and I heard him moan lowly....
