Chapter 9
The elevator moved at a seemingly slow rate. It seemed like it stopped at every floor. Humans and vampires were getting on and off what seemed to be every 2 or 4 floors. I don't know how long it normally takes to get to the 100th floor, but it took me about 30 minutes. I stood in the corner trying not to talk to anyone. There were a few people who seemed to know who I was though. They would turn around and say hi, or ask me how I have been. I kept my answer short. When they would ask where I had been, I would say I tried going to the ocean but got home sick and came back mid-trip. No one seemed to miss me, but a few were worried about why I hadn't been there. I even heard one of the vampires saying they thought the prince had drunk my blood and killed me. It seemed like it was normal not to talk about where people went if they were missing. I could tell who the vampires were, because they talked in a low voice I wouldn't have been able to hear if I

As I turned the door knob, I thought to myself 'I probably should have knocked first...'. The door opened slowly as I heard;"Who is it!" The voice sounded frustrated. Like the world was on his shoulder. He wasn't really mad, but he defiantly sounded bothered. I was about to close the door back but he had already looked up at me. He was sitting at a desk. A window in the background made sunlight shin down on him. His skin was just like a stained glass amber gem like mine, but green. He was very handsome. His golden blonde hair, straight but fluffy. His eyes a dark green like center parcs. He looked more like 26, 27 now that I was up close. He wore a blue suit. The suit was nice. He had a green button down shirt under the jacket. He had a golden watch on his wrist. On his desk was a pill of papers, a computer, a lamp, and a net space in-between for him to do his work. He dropped his pen, and stood up quickly and quietly.
The life I wished for Chapter 11
I was born in a town called Merchandising Town, population 4,298. It was a town like Hustle Town. There were a lot of shops, and people selling products to survive. My mom was one of the women who let vampires drink her blood for money. She would get around 40 dollars a night, but most of it went on paying off my dad's gambling debts. My dad was addicted to gambling, and a good for nothing. My mom fell for him at a food stand when he gave an older lady free fruit. He was, at one point and time, a good man. Mother always took care of him, which is why he quit his job at the fruit stand. He would only make around 10 dollars a day. Compared to her 40 dollars a night, he figured he didn't need to work. As time passed, he began spending late nights out with friends. Him and his friends would gamble on things like cards, or how good the harvest for both humans and food would be, or even on how many servants would be bough

I spent my next 2 years getting to know the prince's likes and dislikes, his rules that I must obey, and he didn't let me go alone on errands. I wasn't shy around him anymore either. He turned out to be nicer than he looked. He wouldn't say things with emotion in his voice, but his eyes said otherwise. I grew to be okay with my new situation as the days passed. When I woke up the next day, Maria showed me how I would spend my days. When I first woke up, I was to check on him, and see if he needed anything. Next, I would take a shower. He had soaps that he wanted me to use everyday twice a day. It smelt of lemons. He had a tub, and a shower you could sit in. I preferred a shower. It felt good to have the water hit me. We didn't get the chance to take showers like this in my hometown. It's not that it wasn't available

As the elevator left the 106st floor, I wondered what the queen was like. I did not know much about how the world worked, but I did know that we lived in a monarchy. The human race is ruled by a queen and a king vampire. My father told me that the world has been this way for 199 years; since 2102. humans went to war with the vampires in the year 2101. but lost. Thanks to Ms. Maria, I now knew even more about how we lost.I stood in the back of the elevator, holding Maria's hand. There were 7 floors we had to go up to reach the Queen."Ms. Maria?""Yes dear?""What's on the 113th floor?" Ms. Maria looked down at me, smiling, then got down to my level."Deary, we are going to the Royal Throne Room. Usually we need an appointment to go there to talk to

The queen walked to her desk and sat down in her chair. She sat her elbows on the desk; leaning her head down into her hands. "So darling, tell me about yourself." She smiled as she said this, but her tone was demanding. I felt as if I must obey the words she spoke. I felt I had will of my own. I looked at her, my eyes unsure where to look. I focused on her gorgeous hair. The way the colors matched her eyes. I felt like I was looking at a rainbow after it had just rained in the sky. I breathed in and smiled. I tried to choose my words carefully. I did not want to upset the queen. "I am 6 years old, your majesty..." She cut me off before I could continue. "Vera, my name is Vera. You can call me that. I have a feeling I will be getting very close to you, so let's just keep it on a first time basis." She made a half smile. Sh

Maria dropped me off on the 106 floor, and headed back to the queen. We said our goodbyes, but she knew she'd see me again. When I walked into the living room, there was a box wrapped in paper and ribbon. On it was a card. Welcome to the family. I will be in my office all day today. Take this chance to explore your new home. I hope you will like it. You are my child now, but you will still have to do servant jobs. I put the card down on the table, and opened the box. Inside were 2 different things. One was a movie, the other a book. The movie read 'Rava the last dragon', and the book read 'Green eggs and ham'. I was in awe. They were in good condition. To find a book, or to have a movie was rare. Usually you could only see a movie at the theater, which cost a lot. Books were even harder to get
The life I wished for Chapter 16
Prince Anthony stood inches away from me. He looked down at me, staring as if waiting for me to say something. We stood in the doorway staring at each other for mere minutes, but I could not bring myself to speak. This was the vampire who bought me from my family. But at the same time… he did save me from my father, who was a good for nothing bum. If the prince did not buy me, my father would have sold me to some other vampire with a wretched fate in store for me. There was a plus side to being in the Prince Anthony family. I could have anything I wanted if I was good. My train of thought was broken when the prince shifted his weight to one foot and put his hands in his pockets.“You have been procrastinating At my door for a while now. Is there something I do for you?” His voice was not really an annoyed tone, but a matter-of-fact tone. I looked down at my feet, holding the bottle out towards him.“It’s

The elevator doors opened, and a teenage kid stepped out. His height was about 5'7. Seemed close to Prince Anthony height. He had ash black hair. It was nicely cut. He had a little bit of his bangs covering one of his eyes. The other eye I could see. It was a candy red. He was a dhampir. He had his hands in his pockets. He wore a uniform. It looked like a school uniform. He had a white button up shirt with a red jacket over it. It buttoned in the middle, just 3 buttons, enough to close the jacket but still see the shirt. He wasn't wearing a tie though. His pants were a darker red than the jacket; his jacket a cherry red, and his jeans a wine red. He had on orange sneakers for shoes. Prince Anthony must have heard the elevator bing, because he was right behind me."Blake, glab you could come. I knew you just got out of school, but I did not want Asoka to go alone." He gave Blake a hug. Was it normal for dhampir to
