Vampires Kiss by Delaney Curd (best mystery novels of all time .TXT) 📕

just being a blur like normal, I could see him perfectly while he was walking over here. He sits the cups down, then pushes one towards me, and I just stare at him. He has swallowed over half of his cup before he realizes that mine still sits infront of me, untouched.

"You need to drink that to get your strength up, and to help your memories come back at a faster rate, but without the pain and confusion. That will unlock everything, and keep you alive forever. As long as you don't try to go rouge and only drink animal blood like in that stupid book series. Animal blood will kill you, and so will sunlight, because as you know vampires don't sparkle in the sun." I just look at him, my eyes blank taking in what he said, but only the back of my mind realizes what he's saying, the rest of my mind is to captivated by the way he looks. Everytime he moves a particle of dust will fall off of him, and my eyes will train to that, or when he moves his eyes into the light, I see that his eyes are more violet than the black that I always thought they were.

"Andy, don't take this the wrong way, but you're... you're BEAUTIFUL." Realizing what I said, I look down, feeling my cheeks... There should be heat in my cheeks, causing me to blush. What's wrong why am I not blushing. I look up at Andy holding my cheeks, then I look down at the drink he put infront of me. "I'm a vampire now. Aren't I?" Andy just nods his head.

I pick up the drink. "This will help me get rid of the weird feeling in my stomach?" I ask, just now noticing that my stomach is sending a sharp pain through my body making me feel as if I haven't eaten in a few days. Andy just nods his head, so I take a sip of the drink, and the second it hits my stomach, I lean my head back, and down the whole cup, licking the sides of the cup to get all of the sweet liquid I can. I put the cup down, and look at Andy who is laughing at me. He hands me what is left of his cup, and I down that to. I put the cup down, and feeling blood all over my lips, I lick my lips, then smile, sheepishly, looking up at Andy through my eye lashes.

"So, what happened?" I ask while Andy goes to get more blood, wether for me or him I'm not sure yet. "What did I see back there?" I ask after he sits down sliding one of the blood cups towards me.

"What do you remeber from yesterday?"

"Nothing, or not much anyway." I say remembering my clothes being ripped off as I was drug through the lobby.

"Well, we came to see my father, and he tried to bite you to turn you. He almost did, because he cheated and used compulsion on you. We were supposed to let you choose wether you wanted this or not. But after he tried to bite you, I threw him through a few walls, and we started racing out of here. He had just barely nipped your neck though, just enough to give you enough endorphins to make you clumsy and slow. We were almost to the door when I felt your hand slip out of mine. I turned around, and all the creatures had formed a circle around you and another vampire who had his teeth sunk into your leg, by the time I got halfway through the group, he was already making you drink, and I got to you just as the fairie stabbed you. I picked you up, and took you to the coffin room. I got your bag out of the car to change your clothes, because the ones you were wearing were all ripped to shreds, but by the time I got back, one of my fathers maids had you dressed in that. I put you in my coffin, and borrowed anothers. I didn't know you would wake up during the day, and go through this alone, otherwise I would have stayed with you to help you through it. I really am sorry. I wish I could re-do yesterday and stop this from happening."

"Andy, it's not your fault. You should have known that I would choose this so that I could always be with you, forever." I say, looking deep into his eyes, trying to show him all the love I held for him.

"Schy, you don't know what this means. You're queen, of ALL the creatures of the dark. Even the ones that live out of state and country. You have power over everyone and everything." Andy says this like it's a bad thing, but the way I see it, it's one of the best things ever, because I will finally be noticed by others instead of being pushed to the side.

"Wait a minute! My parents, theirr not my real parents, I remeber you and the wolf telling me about it. So if my real parents are vampires, where are they? Can you show me? I want to see them. I want to ask them..." I stop when I see Andys face.

"Come with me, we need to go see my father." Andy starts running so fast that even to my new vampire senses, he is just a blur. I follow him, or try to anyway. He starts to get so far ahead of me at one point that I just stopped in the middle of a hallway, waiting and hoping he would come back, when I smell him. I follow his sent to a pair of huge double doors made of what looked like a red-wood tree. One of the doors is cracked open, so I walk into what must be the throne room. I don't see Andy or his father, or anybody for that matter. What I do see though, sends me into a memory again. The dark, cob-webbed throne room around be disappears, and I see the same throne room, but in color, and hundreds of people are there watching me. A man, that I have seen somewhere before, steps infront of me with something in his hand. I see the beautiful crown made of delicate silver with diamonds dripping off of it, being placed on my head, the curve at the bottom laying over my brow line, almost onto my nose. I feel the sensation of being thrown out of the memory, and I'm back in the throne room. I reach forward, and pick the crown up, at just that time, a door on the far left right side of the throne room bursts open, and I almost drop the crown. I carefully sit it back on the pedestal, then not wanting anyone to know I was touching things, I duck behind the pedestal.

"No Andrew! She is to young to know the truth yet. She can't know that her parents were killed by the humans that raised her for sixteen years. She isn't ready to know that, and she won't be ready until she has full control of her memory's, and is queen and has brought us back to our original power over the humans."

"But father! Let me at least show her a picture of them, or let me show her the crown, maybe it will bring more memory's, and the more memorys she sees, the more control she has over them."

"Which crown, hers or her mothers?" He stops, and I hear what sounds like somebody sniffing the air. "You had her hide in here to hear what we said?" I hear his father say, and I peek around the pedestal to see him looking straight at me. I move out from behind the pedestal and look at Andy. I see the surprise in his eyes, and I open my mouth to explain, but before I can Andy's father reaches out and slaps Andy across the face, knocking him down. I walk towards Andy's father, I feel the anger building in me.

"Andy didn't tell me to hide in here. I didn't know I was supposed to wait outside. It's my fault. The only reason I hid, was because I didn't know if I was going to get in trouble for touching that crown back there." I gesture with my arm, not taking my eyes off of Andy's father.

"Oh honey. Look at what he's done to you. He is making you lie to me, your king, well for now anyway until you take over, but this just won't do. I shall have him killed to make sure you are no longer manipulated." Before I can talk myself out of it, I walk up to him and slap him. Hard. He falls to his knees and looks up at me. I reach down and grab his hair, pulling his head back, and in a second I fall apon his neck, and I see myself a million different times, I also see Andy, and his father at my crowning, then Andy and I getting married, then I see what I've been looking for. My parents. My real parents. My father and mother are looking at Andy and I with smiles in their eyes, telling us that they would love for us to get married. Then I see my father fighting somebody, he is thrown down, and a hand is flying towards him with something in his hand, it's a stake. The stake slices through the air and into my father, and then the same stake is put into my mothers heart. In her last seconds, I look into her eyes, and see Andy's father. I am thrown out of his head, and see him laying on the floor. I feel somebody's hands on my shoulders. I look up and Andy is looking at me knowing exactly what I saw in his fathers mind.

"Andy, I'm ready. I can take the throne now. I will take us back to the way we were before your father killed my parents. I know how." I stand, and walk to my crown. I put it on my head and feel as if it has always belonged there. I look back at Andy and he is bowed on one knee with his right hand across his chest in the formal vampire greeting.

"What are your wishes my queen?" He stands.

"When the sun sets in-" I cock my head to the side. "About thirty minutes, wake everyone up, and bring them into the throne room. I would like all of them to know what is going to happen from here on out." He bows again, turns and leaves the room. An hour later the room has rows and rows of chairs, everyone of them filled with all the vampires, witches, warlock fairies, and werewolves of the Dark World, from every corner of the humans world, from New York to Istanbul.

"I know it it early for some of you, for others it is late, but soon, everything will belong to us again, and you will be able to walk the streets without fear of being hurt, or worse. We WILL take
