All characters are mine!
Chapter One
- - - The night sky was covered with dark gray clouds. A storm was soon to hit. I was inspecting over our city for any disturbances. Since I learned that the sun had become harmful to my skin I was no longer in daylight group. I had change with the night group. The last thing I wanted was to get kicked out of Nicia because of my new fault.
Six years had gone by. We had no clue what had become of our Queen. Yet no one was giving up. Six years to us was like six months. Time was limitless to our kind. We are Immortals, time was something we had left behind in our human phase.
I had phased into my immortality a year ago at the age of twenty-four. It was a hectic week when it happened. I had to drink my pills four times a day for the whole week. My libido un-please-able. Valente and I had made the springs to our beds pop out several times. I was now a fully turned immortal.
I turned to my right when I saw something move in the corner of my eyes. Some one was hiding in the shadows of a semi-empty bar. I followed the shadow by roof top. I jumped down and lightly ran after the immortal. When I was close enough, I kicked him into a dead end alley.
I smirked when I noticed what I had caught. "I haven't seen a scum like you in a while"
"Bitch!"
I ran up to him and clenched his neck. "Rogue where is Serilda of Fury?"
"Like I tell you!" he sneered
I slammed the rogue vampire into the brick wall. I wanted to wipe the smirk out of the assholes face but I didn't get the chance I was slammed to the other side of the brick wall. I turned and found another Rogue vampire. What the hell was going on? Vampire Rogues in our city and no one seemed to notice. I ran up and tackled the leech who thrown me. I grabbed his arms and tore them out of their sockets. I heard high yell of agony before he disappeared.
"Damn it!" The damn Rogue teleported. I turned to the Rogue I had cornered and smirked. The smug looked was back on his face. "If you don't want to end up like your friend, tell me where Serilda is?"
"Fuck you!" He sneered before teleporting
I cursed. I should have grabbed him instead of warning him. I jumped back to the rooftops of the buildings. If I searched I knew I might get lucky and find another vampire rogue roaming around the shadows. Yet I didn't even get that chance. One of my aunts who I rarely spoke to came up to me.
"You need to get back to the House of Trinity, there is a Vampire there with information for you"
I smirked out into the night. It must be Ivan. It seemed that Dominick had finally decided to give in and get the Council of Elders together. I gave a nod to my aunt and jumped to the next roof top and the following until I reached near the House of Trinity. I ran inside the mansion. Neola ran over to me.
"It's that Vamp who you asked to come to you" whispered Neola "He came alone and unarmed"
Diana followed Neola to the conference room. He found Ivan standing up instead of sitting down. He must not trust her Fury aunts and he had every right. If they felt like it, they would rip him apart this very instant that is if he did not teleport away. When Diana was fully in the room, she motioned for him to sit down. Ivan hesitantly sat down.
"Are the Elders waiting for me?" asked Diana
"Lord Dominick has gathered the Council of Elders but he wishes to speak to you before you talk to the Elders" stated Ivan
Diana thought about this. Dominick was probably going to try to convince her not to abdicate her power of leadership but even he could manage to convince her, she still had to talk to the Elders and they would prone on her private life. But she doubt Dominick would convince her. She just wanted her freedom and it meant cutting her ties with the Vampires.
"Let me get changed and will leave" Diana got up from the table and Neola ran after her
Neola watched Diana go over her to her closet and search through her closet. "Diana I don't think this is a good idea"
"All I have to do is talk to the old man then convince the Elders to take away my status and done" said Diana more frustrated that she couldn't find anything…different than what she usually wore.
"I don't know…I have a bad feeling about this" said Neola picking a dress out for Diana. Diana did not look at the dress but at Neola. Her younger aunt never expressed worry only optimism. "That is the only conservative dress you have…in a way"
Diana changed into a dark blue somewhat of a dress more like a chemise. It was a sleeveless with a small elastic band to hold it around her waist and a scoop neck outlined. It stopped in mid-thigh, in a way it gave a billowy look. She brushed her hair while Neola looked for some shoes that would go with the dress. She stuck as many pills as she could on a black locket of a too long chain necklace. She looped the black chain necklace twice around her neck before clipping it and letting the lock rest below her chest.
"Neola there were Vampire Rogues near the bar at Maarvel street. They escaped me but they seem to have some information on our Queen. Make sure to tell Nicia after I am gone"
Neola nodded as she followed Diana back down to the conference room. Ivan stood up as she re-entered. Diana found her aunt Galena waiting for her.
"Are you sure about this Diana?"
"Yes, things have to end" said Diana gripping her aunt's hand
Galena gripped her niece's hand back. She watched Diana take Ivan's hand disappear from the room.
- - - Diana swayed for a few seconds before composing herself. Ivan apologized for not warning her. She waved it away, it wasn't his fault.
"You are not use to teleportation? Is this your first time teleporting my daughter?"
Diana looked around and found herself outside of Dominick's mansion. He was sitting on a chair sipping something from a glass. He offered her to sit down. She looked around expecting to find Dedrick but when she didn't, she sat down. A maid came to her with a glass of the same thing Dominick was drinking. Before she could deny it, the maid informed her it was wine. Diana took out a pill from her locket and dropped it in her drink.
"I am not, I prefer running. It's the first time by a Vampire" answered Diana "Let's get to the point. What did you want to talk about?"
Dominick sighed at her impatience. "Do not do this. The royal line will be broken, extinct. You will leave Dedrick without a true life-mate"
"Even if I became his life-mate, I would have broken the cycle. I would've not let my child marry his half-sister. I would not allowed Dedrick to humiliate me as such" responded Diana in a compose tone
Dominick raised an eyebrow at this. "Humiliate?"
"Yes. To have intercourse with another woman and to give life to another child that is not mine" Diana answered not losing her temper. She could not, not with these kinds of people. They only listened to logic.
"Is that how you were treated? As a humiliation?" There was anger behind Dominick's words
Diana glared. She had fallen for his trap. "This is not what I came to talk about"
"If you abdicate and the Elders take away your title…I will not be able to help you. You will be like any other Vampire. If you needed shelter like before, I will not be able to offer it to you" stated Dominick in a grim note
"I'll be a commoner in which my problems will be nothing but petty to the Lord of Vampires"
"Yes, you will be abdicating the right to being my daughter"
Diana gaze had lingered away from Dominick. She was looking out to the forest. Why was Dominick making it seem like she was gambling with her life instead of family she did not want? Why was it even bothering her? She was fully Immortal now, nothing could really hurt her. If anything, she would be having more problems keeping her title of Vampire Princess. Rogues would come after her every night trying to kill. Not to mention that by some damn law she would have to marry and give birth to Dedrick's child. Then again…if she did need to some where to hide…why hide in the first place? This was not…she was not making any sense.
Diana stood up and faced Dominick. "I want to speak to the Elders now"
Dominick lingered in his seat. He believed he had at least stuck a cord with his words but it seemed that it was not enough. She wanted to do nothing with them and there was nothing he could do to stop her. He stood up as well. They did not even take a step when something from the corner of their eyes caught their attention. Before either of them could react, Diana was swung across the yard.
