Chapter 4

☆Only a vampire can love you forever☆

Davis is starting to become very angry with his bow tie. He knows how to make his neck tie, but he never tried a bow tie. And he didn’t believe he was losing his temper over a bow tie. He sighs and hits his head on the wall, already given up.

He was getting ready for the blood auction, he woke up at eleven in the morning since the auction will begin at one pm.

He bathed when he woke up, brushed his teeth six times at eleven twenty-five, wrapped his bandages around his body at eleven forty-three. And finally, in twelve ten he dressed in his black trousers, white shirt, black vest and wore his necklace. And now, at tweleve thirty-six, having a struggle with putting on his bow tie.

Suddenly, a soft knock on the door saved Davis from breaking his head against the wall.

“Come in.” The door opened to reveal Annabeth, which made Davis frown slightly. Annabeth smiles weakly before closing the door behind her, and walks over to her son.

“Are you ready, dear?” Her hands reach his cheeks, holding both side of his face with her petite hands. He averts his eyes and turns his head a bit.

”I’m having trouble with the bow tie, mother.” He muttered, she grins and her hands started to work on his bow tie. Her delicate fingers brushing against the fabric, she slips the long end under the shorter end, before she pulls the longer end over and under to create a knot. She looks up at Davis, whose eyes were focused on her fingers, so he can do it on his own later on.

She continues with her work before she spoke; “Don’t call me ‘mother’. I prefer ‘mama’. You used to call me that.”

“Alright...mama.” She smiles wider, tapping the finished bow tie and looking up at him with her face bright. Annabeth is always the cheerful, caring person, but on her throne, she has to keep her head up high so the crown won’t fall.

Her hands touch his cheeks, and then she lays her forehead against his, her golden-like brown eyes locks with his crimson ones. She rubs her nose against his to form an adorable Eskimo kiss.

”Common, wear your cape and grab your crown, and make mama proud!” She giggles like a complete child before waltzing out of the room, leaving Davis with a small faint smile. He puts on his cape and crown, before leaving his room.

Nicole winces as they prick her finger with the needle, allowing her blood to drop on a paper before pushing her to an old woman behind a desk.

”name, sweetheart?”

”Nicole O’Kiere.”

”Ohhh, the emotionless one!” The old woman chuckles before opening Nicole’s folder, taking out a paper and standing up, carrying a pin with her. The old woman sticks the paper in Nicole’s chest before slapping Nicole’s shoulder, startling her.

“Show ‘em yer ugly face if you don’t want to get chosen! Just sayin’.” Nicole nods and rolls her eyes before checking the paper on her torso.

BLOOD TYPE: AB

BEAUTY: 3/5 (60% of 100%)

“Rude. 3/5 beauty? Pa-lease.” Nicole giggles at her silliness, though the situation she is in is no laughing matter. She climbs up the large stage with the rest of the girls, and looks down at all the hungry vampires, their eyes containing lust and greed.

She cringes in disgust before looking at the other girls. At least ten of them are pure blooded. Since this blood auction is at the capital of the country, only the girls born in the capital are on stage. Other blood auctions are in different parts of the country of Mavernem.

There was about over a hundred girls on stage, and there is a large catwalk in the front of the stage for when they call their names. Nicole snorts, her last name starts with an O, meaning there will be one of the last ones on the catwalk. Since most of the girls last names on stage start with an A or C.

Nicole rubbed her thigh, since the small belt around her leg was itching her. It carry’s a small pocket containing Nicole’s knife.

The bell finally rang, signals the start of the blood auction. And just before they call the first name up, a black limo arrives at the gate. Nicole tries to hide her grin, knowing it’s the royals that arrived. The driver left his seat and opens the door, allowing king Vincent to come out of the limo, helping his queen Annabeth out, before both of them climbed up the stairs to their two large seats where guards are settled near to protect them.

Prince Davis exits the limo and almost everyone gasped. It’s been four years since they last seen him wandering in town. And he changed so much. Whispers soon broke out as he climbs the stairs to his seat decorated with pearls and gold just a little bit under his parents thrones. Luckily, the thrones were under a tent-like shader to block the sun, even though all of the vampires at the blood auction are wearing their protective necklaces.

And finally, the auction begun. First, they will start calling names out, each name they call, the girl walks down the cat walk and stands there for all the vampire to see if they are good enough of not. They will start with a 100 golden coins each girl, then the bidding will start.

“Angelica Aston.” A girl with jet black hair an baby blue eyes walks down the cat walk, she had a tight blouse on and a skirt that reached above her knees. She was a dull blood with a beauty of 4/5. The man named Neil spoke;

”100 Golden coins! anyone bid higher?” A vampire raised his arm up.

”205 golden coins!”

”No! 489 golden coins!”

“Anyone bid higher than 489 gold coins?” Neil shouted, but no one else spoke. Neil looked over to the prince, but Davis looked completely uninterested.

“Alright! Sold to the vamp with the red tie!”

The auction continued like this, until slowly the queen lost her patience with Davis. He wasn’t interested with any of the lovely ladies. So she taps on his shoulder, making Davis look at her lazily.

“When are you going to choose, Davis!” She whisper-yelled, and Davis groaned.

”mama...they all look scared and not my type.”

“So a cat is your type, eh!?”

“Mama, please—“

” Please! For me!” Davis sighs and nods.

“Nicole O’Kiere.” And just as Nicole walked next to Neil, a scent of her blood enters Davis’s nostrils, and he felt hunger. He gulped and took a deep breath.

”205 golden coins!”

”250 golden coins!” Two vampires were duelling with each other over Nicole, while she looked over at Davis and locked eyes. Davis’s breath was cut as soon as he notices the fire dancing in her eyes.

”3008 golden coins!” Davis stood up from his seat and each one of the vampires looked at him with wide eyes, while Nicole grinned. Annabeth clapped happily and the king smiled.

“I- alright- Nicole O’Kiere now belongs to the prince of Mavernem! Lucky gal.” Neil muttered the last two words at Nicole. Davis hopped down from his seat, awkwardly making his way to her and helping her jump down the stage.

His hand was intertwined with hers as they made their way back to the limo, with the king and queen happily waltzing behind them.
