Days With You Seem Shorter

Together we stepped downstairs. A breeze flowing through my hair and hitting my face hard. Fresh air sitting in my lungs, as I exhale my throat throbbed and pained from the night before, but I felt at ease and comfort for some reason when the prince grabbed my hand harder trying to reassure me.

It's only been at least a day that we have been together but we are already acting like a couple, however it didn't feel weird at all.

I actually felt as if I was going to be all lonely if he wasn't by my side smiling at me like he always does.

We finally reached the Dining Hall together holding hands and quickly glancing at each other before one of us start blushing,

"So, you guys finally met huh?" Demonia beckoned while also laughing sarcastically,

"Yes I guess so!" I blushed, "you guys do match though!" Nancy stated.

Nancy is the oldest sister out of all of us, then Demonia, then me. Agares being the crown prince, father also favors him too. Well as always the Prince comes first...but as a vampire I am also the next in line for the throne.

"Thank you father, thank you my future father-in-law, and my family for letting me meet this beautiful woman and marry her, I will cherish her for the rest of my life," he quoted, sounding very confident. His words made my heart beat faster, making me tingle all over.

I felt as if there were butterflies dancing in my stomach. It made me feel nervous. It was only our second time being together, so why am I feeling so strangely, I thought. Have I fallen in love with the prince? It can't be. 

We've only seen eachother 2 times so I can't have fallen for him, I am Elena, I can't have fallen for a human prince. Outrageous. It can't be. I mean when me and Draven were much younger we'd always talk about love, from what I know, it may take more than a week to fall in love, right?

Every time he brushed over to me and whispered in my ear, I feel buzzing sensations all over my body. I think my heart is pounding at his every breath and gaze.

I kept thinking later that night, in my room, what was the reason in which my heart kept going crazy everytime that human prince came close to me. Maybe I was still not sober but it has been a day since we last drank. So why was I still reacting so weird?

The more I thought about it, the more irritated I felt. My brain hurts from thinking. I'm just going crazy probably...Well I just need to rest properly I think.

I got up and changed into my nightgown, the maids had prepared this afternoon, and I stepped towards the luxurious golden, birch wood vanity, whilst leisurely reaching for the glass hairbrush gently placed by the maid, caressing and brushing my long wavy black hair.

My hair felt soft and silky, it had an amazing feeling everytime I stroked my hair.

After brushing and tying my hair I walked towards my bed all ready. The cushions, bed sheets and everything were fine quality silk.

As I laid down on the soft and cotton like bed, I felt all comfort and relaxation filling my body and mind. It was as though all my stress had left my body. I closed my eyes, the room went blurry then dark. I fell asleep shortly after.

I woke up to a person grabbing my arms and gently brushing off my hair that lingered on my shoulder, exposing my smooth unprotected neck, soft, hot lips touching my neck and then a sharp pain filled my neck.

I sprung awake off my bed nearly tumbling down, I grasped my neck but no mark nor puncture was there... So what was that feeling? 

I was still under the impression that something had bitten me that night. It might've just been my imagination but no dream would have felt that real or hurt that much. So what was that thing?....a vampire like me? It can't be right? Vampires don't exist normally anymore.

After twisting and turning on my bed, I finally decided to get up and look for answers. First of all, the closest room to mine is of course the prince's so that's the first place I went.

"Prince, are you awake?" i beckoned 

"Are you looking for me?" the prince asked wearily.

The prince looked exhausted and pale, this couldn't have happened because I woke him up. Something like this only happens when you turn from a human to a supernatural or when you lose extreme measures of blood.

So which one was it… "I don't feel safe in my bedroom. May I stay here? I suggested avoiding his gazing eyes. "Oh I see, why not then? If this is going to be a safe zone for you then let it be." he gestured me into his in.

I rushed in, sitting on his bed peeking around looking for any ideas of what it could've been. "My princess, I'm going to take a bath. Do you want to use it after me? You look quite frantic and puzzled." He asked, looking over at me, "Yes please." I babbled.

After he went in and I heard the water fill against the ceramic bathtub, I began to sniff and search every corner of the room until a sharp iron smell filled my nose, choking me.

What the heck was that! I dipped my head closer to get a better sniff, realising it was blood. Vampire blood. Was his intentions to turn to a vampire, how stupid.

In vampire bloodlines, the strongest vampires on the top of the food chain are pure blood vampires and I'm the only one left in Deadrae, Caustuie and Melundiers. So this had to be my blood right? "My princess, I'm all done!" He exclaimed from the bathroom. With a jolt I jumped on the bed pretending to be waiting all along.

"Ok Moluan, but I'm just ,you know, kinda uneasy."I replied.

"So what do you want me to do? take a bath with you?" He laughed,

"What!" I squealed while blushing. I'll just have to deal with him later, now I just wanna enjoy the warm bath I'm going to have prepared for me.
