The dark vampire

"This can't be. Father,  please do something. Don't let him take me away." I was pleaded with a shaking voice. Tears are already pooling in my eyes. I walk to where my mother was.

"Mother, please say something." But my mother was also helpless. My sister Lyla was there beside my father, staring at me angrily.

"Please, your Highness Moira is still very young. And..."

"Enough, did you just say she's young? She is nineteen years old. And who are you to dictate for me? I will choose who I want, and that is Moira." He says, sitting on the chair facing all over the living room.

His golden eyes are still on me. I don't know what I've gotten into. Vampires are my biggest fear. I can't bear seeing them,  not to mention living with them. Now the king is asking for my hand in marriage; he's not even asking; he's commanding, and we don't have a choice.

He's the same man I saw in the palace when I and Lyla went to the general ball party, drawing blood from a lady in his hand. The scene appears on my head, sending a shiver down my spine.

And I told Lyla that I dont want to go to the party, but she insisted. If I had stayed at home, this wouldn't have happened.

*****Flash Back *****

The day of the general ball party has finally come, and excitement could be seen on people's faces. The party has been the talk of the town. I was still asleep on the bed when Lyla returned from the bathroom with a towel tied around her chest down to her mid-thigh.

"Stand up, go take your bath, and let's get ready for the party," Lyla tapped me.

"I already told you I'm not going; I don't feel like it," I grumble on the bed, my eyes still closed.

"What do you mean by that? You better stand up. Mother has made a dress for us for the party. And I bet you, it's going to be fun. Now stand  up, Lyla says with a smile as I try to stand up from the bed, still feeling  sleepy.

Lyla hit my head softly so I could be fully awake before I walked to the bathroom to shower.

I walked out of the bathroom, done taking my bath. I wiped the water off my body with a towel. Lyla brought out a box under the bed. She opened it, bringing out two beautiful dresses.

"This is yours." Lyla handed one of the dresses to me. The dress is a long, straight gown. Its sleeves were thin and made with flowers. It has a long slit on the left side, running up to my thigh. The gown has a V-shaped neck, making my breasts pop out a little.

Lyla's dress is a blue flour-length gown with an off-shoulder sleeve. The front of the dress was made with flowers. The two gowns look elegant and beautiful.

We wore our dress, and Lyla helped me with my hair and little makeup. I am not a fan of makeup, but Lyla insisted. She did hers, and we left the house.

I don't really see a big deal in this party. The general ball party is for everyone, though. Both vampires and humans will be present at the party. The party always takes place in the palace.
