Vampires Kiss, Delaney Curd [book recommendations for teens txt] 📗

other creature of the Dark World wants. Her." He says pointing towards me. Andy growls, pulling me closer to him.

"Wait, what do you mean all the creatures want me? Why would they want ME, I'm just a lowly human in your eyes!" I say sensing through the bond that Andy is hiding something from me.

"He hasn't told you yet? You haven't told her yet?" The wolf says looking first at me then at Andy.

"Don't you dare tell her something that you and all your little friends have made up you mutt!" Andy screams at the wolf, calling him something that only the prince could walk away from.

I push my way around Andy, walk halfway between him and the worlf, and look straight into the wolfs eyes. "What are you talking about, what is Andy not telling me, and why does every creature of the Dark want me?" I ask knowing Andy will be mad at me, but not caring.

"You're the only one left. The only born vampire left in the world, you just have to be awakened, then you can take your rightful place as queen. And the king, Andy's father, wants you so that he can wake you and train you to take his place, so that the reign of vampires will never end. Most of the creatures want you, so they can kill you, and have the alternating reigns continue as they are today, the others, like me, want you to go to the king, because we hunger for the old days when we ruled the world, and the humans knew about us, and we know that once you are awake, and have your old memories again, you will take us back to those days." He finishes as if knowing I will do this. I hear Andy move behind me, and feel his hand take mine and pull me away.

We are at the house before I am done fully processing everything. "Was he telling me the truth?" I ask looking at the dashboard, avoiding looking at Andy as long as possible.

"Yes." That one word chills me to the bone.

"Wouldn't that mean that my parents are vampires? I mean, there is NO WAY my parents are vampires, even if my mom does have a killer right hook." I say, already getting the feeling that they aren't my real parents.

"That feeling is right. They aren't your real parents, and they both knew about you being a vampire. That is why your mother beat you, because she just couldn't except that things like us could exist, she thought she could beat the different part of you out basically. I was going to tell you. I really was, I was just waiting for the right time." He says looking at me with nothing but love and understanding in his eyes.

"I believe you. I know you would have told me. I just, I just wish I knew who my parents were now,and why they gave me up. I say, finally looking at Andy knowing that I wasn't mad at him, that I never could be.

"Now that you know, I guess we should go see my father, but you must know that he isn't what you would expect knowing me, he doesn't act like me at all. He kills without mercy, and doesn't care who he hurts in the process. He will not stop untill he is the ruler of everything, I want you to be careful when you are around him, if I am not with you, okay." He says not really as a question. He goes inside leaving me in the car, to get his things, and take me to see his father.

We drive downtown, going to the biggest apartment building in town. As we walk in, everybody we see starts bowing, and asking us if we need anything. When we reach the elevator, Andy turns to me and says: "This isn't going to be what you expect. Are you sure you're ready for this? What am I talking about? Of course you're not ready for this! I can sense how nervous you are. Lets just GO!" As Andy says the last word, his voice raises into a shout, and shakes the whole building.

"Son! I thought I felt your shouts. And who is this? Who are you hiding from me?" I didn't even realize that Andy had moved infront of me when his father showed up. Andys father walks around him, trying to look at me, but everytime he moves, Andy circles around always blocking me from his father's view.

"Now, now son. You know it is not nice to hide your guests from me! I can smell her, and if she is as beautiful to the eyes as she is to the nose, I already know who she is." Andy stops, and steps away from me. When Andys father sees me, the look in his eyes isn't amazement, like I expected, but pure, uncontrolable hunger.

Before I realize what I'm doing, I step forward three steps, until I am standing directly infront of Andy's father. I lean my head to the right, and raise my chin slightly so that when he bites me, my chin won't be in the way. His fangs are on my neck, just enough to send endorphins straight to my veins. Before he can bite me, he is flying away from me, and though a wall, but he doesn't stop there, he goes through four more walls before he finally stops flying, lands on the floor, crumpled.

Andy grabs my hand and starts dragging me to the door. A few people, no creatures, try to stop us, but Andy powers through them. Just as we reach the door, something grabs my ankle, and I fall, my hand ripped from Andys. I'm dragged backwards, I feel my shirt and jeans being ripped to shreds, falling off of me, and because of the endorphins going through me, I can do nothing about it, because all of my reflexes are to slow to really even realize that the vampire draging me away is also biting his wrist and shoving it on top of my mouth, forcing his blood down my throat. I open my mouth trying to breath, but only get another mouthfull of blood. I swallow, trying to move my head to the side to get some air before I suffocate, when it happens. The fairie walks up, through the path made by the others. In his hand is something shining. I look closer just as he raises it, and shoves it through my ribs, and into my heart. The last thing I see is creatures flying everywhere, and Andy falling to his knees pulling my head into his lap and crying.
Chapter 2: Awake

When I open my eyes, all I see is darkness. I try to roll over, but I hit a wall. I roll onto my side, and put my hands against one of the walls. I push on it, and it gives way just a little. I move onto my side just a little better, put my feet and hands on the wall. I push, and hear the wall, no it sounds more like wood, breaking and snapping. When it falls, it takes me with it. I hit the ground hard. I hit so hard that the breath is knocked out of me. When I try to get my breath back, my lungs won't hold any amount of air. I try to breath again, but it feels as if my body is rejecting all of the air I'm trying to hold. Finally I stop trying, and I feel the pressure of not breathing leave my chest. My lungs don't enflate like they should if I was breathing, but the pressure of not breathing has left, and I'm comfortable again.

I stand up and look around. I turn around and look at what I fell out of, and what I see makes me take a step back away from the thing... the coffin. I feel something swish around my legs. I look down and see a beautiful pale pink formal dress, and instantly remeber the sensation of my clothes being ripped off, and then, everything about yesterday rushes through my mind. Then a million other things flood my mind. Things I've never seen before, but that I am envlolved in. I see ancient Egypt, see myself as a queen there, England bowing before me as I'm crowned. Every memory I see is of my being crowned queen, or people, men and women alike, standing in front of me, dripping blood from their necks, asking if I would take more from them. I see the creatures of the Dark World calling me their queen, and saying if anything ever happened to me, that the humans would take their world back, driving us into the dark. Then everything stops, and I'm screaming in the real world while all around me, 5,000 coffin lids fly open, and every vampire sleeping in them, stares at me. Andy rushes up to me and takes me out of the room, to a room that had been abandoned for a while.

"What's wrong? Why are you awake? What happened?" Thanks to the connection that we established before this happened, he instantly knows what happened and why I'm upset, because my emotions were running so wild, that I couldn't block anything from him. He just reaches out towards me, and holds me to him while I cry.

"Come on, we need to go get you some food while I explain whats happening... or what has happened really." Andy pulls me out of the room, and through a series of hallways that I would never remeber, until finally we reach a set of white double doors that look as if they belong in a hospital. We walk through them and I sit down at the first table I see, while Andy goes up to a drink despenser and gets two large cups of what looks like... no, it can't be. I don't drink blood. Only when Andy drinks some of mine. Both of the cups must be for him. In the blink of an eye he is sitting in front of me, but something is wrong. Instead of him
