Chapter One
“Be like snow, silent and cold.” - Unknown
“Always keep your doors locked, always check your surroundings. Never let anyone in, trust no one.” The news lady said scared and afraid of what could happen, after finding out that her husband died from an attack, an attack that left a message from the beast.
The beast always threatened the normal humans, the vampires, the werewolves, he basically threatened everyone creature that went about their life on a daily bases and tried to be happy. Yet he constantly was hurting or killing someone, it angered me that someone could be this cold towards people and so heartless and keep on doing these horrid things.
That worst part is that some of the hunter’s put their life in danger to try and catch this beast, even the best of the best hunters, have tried and now their dead or in the hospital on life support.
This damn beast kept wrecking the town up and because we’re human, vampire, werewolf, or the whatever we are, and yet we can’t do anything about it, we’re forced to sit and watch.
No one has ever seen this man’s face, no one has come near to him and be alive or without having to fight for their life with life support.
Closing the windows, I sighed and shivered as I got closer and closer to the coldness of them. 50 degrees outside, this morning it was beautiful outside at least 72 degrees.
I shivered in fear, I was a vampire, a strong one being that I was a royal one.
The youngest of all my siblings, the weirdest, craziest, but at the same time most fearful vampire out of all my siblings was me.
Being depressed and alone wasn’t good, especially when the weather could easily take a turn for the worst. Being a royal one, I control two things, the weather and nature.
Always trying to be happy was great, the weather was nice and sunny, just like it was today. Father called upon a meeting, that every family member most attend, it had to do with the beast, yet that was all I knew..
Walking to the office father told me to meet him in, I was greeted by my family.
“Kylie, you are to stay inside, do not leave the castle, do not leave your room, you must stay there. It is too dangerous for you.” Father said, I stared at him in shock and in hurt.
“Father, I am not a little girl, I can take care of myself!” I say boldly, hurt yet trying not to show it, father was angered by that.
“You’re twelve years old! You will obey me or I will lock you in a cell, daughter or not, you must be kept safe!” Father screamed at me, shaking my head I walk out of the meeting, just because I was the youngest and a mere twelve-year-old vampire, I was considered weak.
I heard thunder as my anger got stronger. “What father doesn’t know, won’t hurt him.” I thought to myself as I knew I would break every single one of the rules he was making for me.
I wonder what the beast was like, when he wasn’t killing or hurting someone, I wonder if there was someone that could get him to stop, but probably not considering everyone thinks that he won’t have a beloved. It’s so mean to think that, but it could be true, he’s killed so many, so why would he get lucky enough to get a beloved that he could kill too?
Suddenly, I hear screaming, a blood curdling scream, I sprint back in as fast as I could, there stood a man in front of me, he was tall and dangerous. He radiated power and screaming darkness.
I saw my family dead in front of me, all because of me, because I left the door open. The man was gone, and I knew that the beast was here. The beast had killed my family and left a warning.
Dear child
I’ll see you soon, get your army ready if you even can. Yet unless you’re afraid to fight, you’ll probably die. Enjoy what you can of life, not so much time.
9 years
It’s been 9 years since that horrid day, since the day I was forced to take over the kingdom due to my own stupidity, because of me, the people I loved the most were dead, they died a way that no one would want to die, a way that no vampire should die if they were to die.
All because of me.
Since that day, it’s always been snowing or raining, snowing 99.9% of the time, it was rare when it was sunny or warm, the weather was as cold as my heart.
People were constantly coming to see me, constantly knocking on my damn office door, I barely could get work done. My mind kept going back to the day my parents died, and when I got back to work someone had to knock on my door, not even two minutes into work.
I ignored it, being today is the day that my parents died 9 years ago, I have to visit where they were buried. There was a lot of paperwork though, way too much.
This is gonna take a while.
The garden where my parents were buried just outside the kingdom was gorgeous yet covered in snow. I had them buried away from the kingdom for a reason, my family was something important to me and I wanted time alone with them.
The white roses I had put on my family’s grave was absolutely beautiful, my heart broke again, even more than before. Tears built in my eyes again all over again.
“I miss you guys, I’m so sorry for everything, I’m really sorry for disobeying the order, if I haven’t you’d all still be alive.”
I couldn’t stop crying, I couldn’t stop shaking, couldn’t calm myself down.
It began snowing a bit faster, it became a lot colder. I heard a growl, a monsterous growl. Nothing and no one was nearby, there was no new scent, my mind was playing games on me again.
I heard someone running towards me from inside the kingdom. Why must someone come now? Must someone always interrupt me having some time with my family?
“I’m so sorry to interrupt princess, but we must get you fitted for you coronation dress.” My maid Darcy said, I hadn’t been crown queen yet, because you must be at least 21 to become queen, but I was able to take care of my people simply because I was the last one alive.
“Niah, that’s a bit too tight!” I shouted at Niah, the female that was doing my fitting.
Niah loosened it a little bit, I was able to finally breathe in again, not that I needed to since, I was already dead. It’s just something some vampire’s do, to feel more alive. While I do it for who knows what reason.
“Is this good, my princess?” Niah asked, nodding my head she continued to do her magic and kept on working on the dress.
Every day it became colder and colder, I had no beloved and believed that I may never find my beloved because someone as hurt, broken, and ice cold as myself could never love someone.
“The ceremony starts tomorrow, so you should be in here at 11, so you have at least two hours to get ready.” I nodded my head at her.
“You’ll be a great ruler, just like your parents.”
