Vampiric Story

It had been a long time, too long a time. Desolateness usually eluded me, but today, just the mere walking down the back alley that was ever so quiet, when compared to the city that it was in, the city that brimmed with life, seemed ever so empty. The silence made me feel uneasy. It was haunting today, unlike other times when it was so comforting. Hate filled me when my mind started to fill itself unconsciously with images of the past, a past in which I was once happy. I can still recall that night, the night in which my mother was killed! I hated the God, if there was any, above. It was he that stole my happiness, my life that was once so filled with hope. What my mother would say of my present state if she were still alive, I really wonder. Wallowing in self-pity, I suddenly felt a presence, not a soothing one, but to me, I was not in the least crept out. I knew that even if I were to spin around, I would see no one, so instead of wasting my time with such a presence, why not go home and have a nice bath before wallowing in self-pity yet again. I was about to walk when someone blocked my way. “Nice to see you again Beyonce, it’s been a while!” I starred at the man thinking that he was probably mad! “No Beyonce, I’m not mad!” I was shocked! Who was this man? How could he have possibly read my thoughts? It was impossible! I looked him in the face and said, “Since you insist that you’re not mad, I’m sure you would understand what I mean when I say get lost, right? Or are you simply trying to prove to me that I am right?” I smirked! There was absolutely no way that he could get out of this one now! “Your highness, I’m sorry, but I have to do what I have to do! Please come with me!” this man in front of me seemed apologetic, but then, the tone that he took with me was unforgivable! Suddenly, without a warning, I was knocked out by him. Although I was knocked out, I could still feel whatever was happening to me. Strange as it might seem, it was something that I had trained myself to feel. This was so that I would not get violated even if I were unconscious. Almost nothing much happened to me, although I must admit that it was strange as I felt myself being carried along with the wind. What a weird change of events.

When I awoke, I found myself on a bed in a room that simply screamed elegance. I felt so out of place. I wanted to walk around, but realized that my legs had gone numb during the period when I was out. As I was trying to get my legs to move, suddenly the door opened. I nearly screamed, as I was a little frightened. It was weird, as I do not scare usually. “Good day, so I see that you have awoken. How do you feel Beyonce?” I stared at the person as to which the voice belonged to, and was a bit taken in by his appearance. That cool aura, which was complimented by both his messy blonde hair and that shirt that seemed to not be ironed, was able to make any girl swoon at his feet. I however, was not your average girl. When I recovered, I realized that like me, he was actually staring at me. Seeing that, I could not help but say, “Take a picture, it lasts longer!” That guy grinned and replied, “Beyonce, much as I want to take a picture, but then I deem it unnecessary, as I already have you here with me, and you would never be able to leave me again.” I looked at him suspiciously, who was he, how dare he say that I would never leave him again? Who was he to decide? “Ah, so I see you’re wondering why I dare to say such bold statements. Well my dear Beyonce, I’m able to say that because no matter where you go, you are never able to escape the palm of my hands.” I was mad at this group of people. Who were they to interfere in my thoughts? It was bad enough that I was not in a place where I am accustomed to, but what was worse was that I had absolutely no privacy at all! I mean what kind of stupid privacy I have, even my thoughts can be sent to them as though it were some form of message! “It would be stupid of you to think that I cannot run away from you. Mr the-whole-world-belongs-to-me. Even if it might seem impossible for me to elude my presence from you, but then, you do not know me, and I’m confident that you would not be able to honor yourself with my presence.” I spat at him. I was boiling mad, and when I reach such a stage, there was no turning back. “My my, what a fiery temper. If I recalled correctly, you were not that brave the last time we met! I should actually punish you for talking to me in that manner, however being the nice creature that I am; I would forgive you this once. My dear Beyonce, I certainly hope that you would not make this a habit.” What the? How could he talk as though as I was the one who offended him when in reality, he was the one who started it? Before I even had the time to retort him, he was already beckoning the maid to come in. Before I could take in what had happened, he was already gone! Wow, what have I got myself into, I thought! The maid snapped her fingers, and the clothes that I originally had been changed into an elegant yet seductive evening gown. Although the maid tried to tie my hair into a bun, yet each time she did that I merely let it down again. Frustrated with me, she decided to let me off, and decided to focus on guiding me to wherever it may lead.

After many a stairs and corridors, we finally stopped at this huge but elegant door. The maid beckoned me to go in, and trying not to offend her, I pushed the door and entered. At first, I thought that the maid would follow me, but to my horror, she just left me alone. When I entered, I was in for a shock! Cameras flashed, and people kept asking me questions. I wanted to yell to them that I know nothing, but decided to tone it down first, or at least until I found the one who got me into this mess! However, the more I tried to get out of the crowd, or what I would call the paparazzi, the more they followed me. It was so damn frustrating, and I was close to slapping anyone blocking my way when a voice said, “Guys, I believe that that would be enough for the lady. As I can see, she seems quite petrified.” I spun around and was face to face with this huge piece of meat covered in cloth. I looked up and saw that thankfully it was not the other irritating piece of ass, but the guy who brought me here. Nevertheless, I was still pissed off, and I demanded an explanation. Sadly, I got nothing more than his name, which was Shawn. He led me towards that irritating guy from earlier. This time however, I noticed a slight difference. Somehow, he was no longer that irritating brat from before. Instead, his aura seemed so majestic. I thought silently, that maybe he was that bossy because he was taught to be bossy, and since he was sitting on a throne, I presume that he was indeed give the permission to be bossy. When he saw me, he smiled and being the nice person that I tried to be, I acknowledged it by smiling back. Shawn brought me to his side and was about to leave, when the guy said, “Shawn, I have a need for you. Why not you stay here for just a while longer before going away.” After that, he turned his attention to me and smiled, saying, “I am glad that your temperament has changed a bit. Well, due to time constraint, I’m unable to tell you the whole story now however I have already instructed Shawn to tell you all about it. I hope you don’t mind, do you?” “Well, even if I do not want it, I would have to oblige right? Well, before you send me off, would you kindly tell me your name?” “The name is…” before he could even respond Shawn suddenly took me by the arm and pulled me along. The guy was obviously upset about the change of events. I take it that he has been to in charge to even want to lose it just for a split second. Shawn seeing the danger he was in, put a knife around my neck and threatened all soldiers that the guy sent. They backed off although I did notice that my neck started to bleed. The soldiers behaved weirdly. Fangs started to appear. I was both curious and yet somehow it all felt so familiar. It was as though I have seen this all my life. But how could it be? This were I suspect vampires. How could have even come close to it? Shawn whispered in my ears just before I passed out yet again. Why was this always happening to me?

“Wake up wake up!” that damned alarm clock woke me once again. Was it all just a dream? Took a bath and was scrubbing myself when while cleaning my neck, it hurt. There was a mark. It looked as though it were exactly the same part where Shawn, was that his name, put the knife. His last words, if I remember correctly were “Take care princess, we’ll see each other soon.” What did that mean? Was it a hint at something more sinister? How about that guy who was so cocky? What about his subordinates being vampires? Did he know that? It seems that there are just so many questions in my head. I cannot remember some parts of the story. Am real exhausted. It was as though I have not gotten a single minute of sleep at all. Hmm, I guess and I hope that time would explain everything.
