Vastria stared at herself in the mirror sighing. Remus waited for her at the stairs, but she was not ready. She was nervous. She knew that tonight would be a difficult night. A full banquet with vampires, demons, and werewolves all joined together.
She could hear small orchestra music coming from downstairs. It was music that she was never into, but it was music that was appropriate for the occasion. She sighed again looking at herself before leaving her room. She made su
“Welcome everyone to tonight’s banquet. Why all the long faces? Come now. After tonight, our two nations will be joined in a truce agreement. It is a time for celebrations. Please mingle and eat to your hearts content.” Remus’ father came walking to Vastria, his son and lady Arnenas. Vastria’s father followed him. “Agreed. Please everyone, enjoy the night. after tonight the demon realm will be working with the vampire nation. Tonight, w
Where are you? Vastria asked Remus telepathically. Vastria looked around for Remus passing the entrance to the bar room on the vampire side. I am in the bar room with a few guests. Want to help me get out of here? I could use the help.
The cool night sky was dark, cool, and unwavering. The wind echoed between tree branches nearby. Once, an owl perched on the lychee tree by the window as an embodiment laid in slumber beneath her covers. The owl’s golden eyes stared in the night calling forth her fellow night stalkers as the moon revealed her face to the world. The moon crawled from behind the misty grey clouds passing by laying her calm white light through the window caressing the skin of the one in slumber. As the light reaches the face of the girl, she twitched as she sleeps deeply in dreams.
Nightfall came and the excitement overcame a large crowd of the carnival. Various neon color beams lit up part of the darkness over the crowd as they gathered for fun. Songs and laughter riveted across the grounds choking out street noise.The two girls had left their dorm by taxi. During their ride, Meagan spoke of what would be at the carnival. “OMG Vass, they are going to have so many events happening. Look!”, Meagan presents her phone before Vastria who was sitting in silence watching the driver
Vastria awoke to sudden movement. She slowly opened her eyes and found herself in a moving vehicle. She sat up fast looking around the car not sure how she got there. She noticed it is a limo that she is riding with white leather seat coverings and a lit mini bar to the center of the limo. Seats were on lined around the limo with the mini bar at the center of the seating area. Across from her on the opposite side of the bar, sat a strange man in a black tuxedo with no tie or bow, but the man wore white gloves. He wore black square glasses that seemed to match how his hair is nicely greased back. He sat across from Vastria, the window behind his head lead to the front of the limo. The exits of the limo were a few seats ahead of Vastria, midway of the limo
Eldrid opened the door to his left and waited outside the limo holding the door open for Vastria. Vastria gradually made her way to the door in silence. Eldrid offered his hand to Vastria to aid her out the limo. She stared at his hand for a moment then to his face before deciding to take his hand as she departed the limo. As Vastria departed from the limo, she took a good look around the area. The sun was peaking behind the clouds and the branches of the trees. She realized that they are in a clearing surrounded by the forest. In the center of the clearing was a mansion. The white paint glistening in the little light of the glowing sun. The pillars of the front stood tall and straight as if it guards the place with its might. Between two pillars l
Vastria was finally alone. Her head feeling heavy from all the excitement. Alone in her own room, her body started to shake. The pounding in her head subsided after a while since she was brought to her room. She walked to the window and looked outside. Below the garden was spread out wide and far. She could not see what type of flowers were being grown. All she could see was the fast greenery like maze of a garden. A man-made pond in the center with benches and tables. Surrounding the garden was high fences with vines grown to be part of a wall. In front of that was a man-made river that round around the garden to the pond at the center and mini bridges to allow passage to all the garden. She then turned to look around her room.This room is too much. It is bigger than my dorm suite with my roommate. She thought as she walked around the room. She studied the mini couch and coffee table then made her way over to the desk and dresser wardrobe. She opened the dresser wardrobe to find it f
The angry man in the suit looked around the room and glared right at Vastria’s father who now stood in front of the angry man. The angry man continued, “You fucking demons think you can do whatever the fuck you want. You nearly ruined our smooth operation in harvesting blood for our people. You know it is the only way to feed our self without being detected by humans.” The man complained angrily with Vastria’s father who intently listened. Vastria who stood behind Eldrid realized these men were the vampires who is after her. Her heart sped up unsure what will happen.
