chapter 5- His World

I nodded and he took my hand and led me to the front gate. He pressed something and then it wasn’t the forest in front of the gate, it was an entry way into somewhere completely different. Drake pulled me though and when I turned to look at the gate it was gone replaced by a single wooden door

“where are we?” I asked

“Home” he said fondly. I noticed how different people stopped and stared and then whispered

“Ignore them” he said to me. I nodded and he led me to this massive door. The two people outside the door looked like guards and my suspicions were confirmed when they nodded to him and opened the door. Drake gently tugged on my hand to followed and then this person yelled

“Announcing his Royal Highness Prince Drake Vladimir and her Royal Highness Princess Amalia” I froze. Princess? Did he just call me that?!

“You didn't think that I wasn’t royal did you?” Drake questioned. I bit my lip as we walked in and saw people all bow. At the end of the long sea of people was a man sitting on a throne I think. He was raised two steps higher than the rest of the court.

“Father” Drake bowed and I followed his lead

“Son welcome back!” the man boomed. I met his eyes and saw he also had very sharp looking fangs. He looked at me and left his chair. He embraced me in a tight hug

“Welcome to the family!” he said happily. He didn't sound like a vampire. But I didn't know how a vampire was supposed to sound.

“This is Amalia father. Amalia this is my father. The original Dracula” he said proudly

“Hello your majesty” I didn't know what else to say

“Oh none of that call me dad” he said happily. I had to say it was hard not to like him. he was so kind.

“She really is a beautiful girl” he said to Drake. Then he turned to all the people who were now milling happily

“This is your future Queen. She is my son Drake’s soulmate and the future of the vampires. Welcome her” he roared. Every single person clapped happily and then Drake was leading me out of the room.

“How about I give you a tour of the town and our land?” Drake asked. I nodded excitedly. He took my hand and showed me to the front door of the castle.

“Ok so the palace is divided up into types or groups” Drake explained

“Like high school cliques?” I asked. he threw me a cute smile.

“Yes something like that” he said. we stopped by this group who looked like they were the stereotypical vampires. They wore dark cloaks with the hoods up, dark clothing and they didn't look very happy.

“Dark ones” Drake announced. They met his eyes and bowed.

“Stand” he commanded in a strong voice. They did as he asked

“This is Amalia. She will be your new queen” he announced. They broke into smiles and bowed to me

“Erm you don't have to bow” I said feeling silly. One looked up at me and narrowed his eyes curiously.

“She is a kind one” he said

“That she is” Drake said affectionately.

“It was nice to meet you all and I hope I can get to know you” I said smiling. The Dark ones smiled at me and nodded happily. Drake led me further into the town. We reached a group of vampires who looked like Gypsies.

“Hello Gypsies” Drake said. the gypsies looked at him and smiled. Then they met my eyes and one with dark brown hair, brown eyes and a tan. She was wearing a sarong-like skirt that had shiny coins on them. her top was like a bra and she had a shiny belly ring. She walked up and hugged me

“Hola Bella” she said smiling

“Hello” I replied smiling. I looked at Drake who was smiling widely

“This is...”

“I can give my own name Drake” she said playfully.

“My name is Maria” she said smiling kindly. Drake grinned

“Is this lovely lady your new Queen?” she asked

“She is. Her name is Amalia” he said lovingly. “She has already charmed the Dark Ones” Drake said resting his arm around my waist

“Wow chica they are the least hospitable. Maybe the time is right for a new queen” She winked and bowed. The others followed and I felt myself blushing.

Drake took my hand and led me to the next group. They looked like they belonged in a church.

“Holy ones. This is your new Queen Amalia” Drake announced. The Holy Ones looked at me and grinned. They bowed and then each kissed my hand

“Welcome your highness” the front one said. he seemed to be fully religious. I met all kinds of groups from preppy cheerleaders, brainiacs, elderly people, jocks. It was like high school all over again. they all accepted me and I was grateful to that but my personal favourite group was the gypsies. They looked like so much fun.

When we got back to the castle Drake gave me a tour and showed me all around and then we stopped on the fourth floor by a massive door that was white and had an intricate design that weaved over the door to the handles.

“This.... is um my room... I mean our room” he said stuttering a bit

“Our room?” I questioned with a smirk

“Maybe” he responded. Rubbing the back of his neck he opened the door. It was huge. Mostly white with a dark blue carpet and a massive white bed in the middle of the room. It was incredible

“How amazing” I said running and jumping on the bed. I fell back and looked at the roof.

“I love the gypsies” I said happily

“Maria seemed to love you too” he said happily

“You seem on better terms with her than the rest” I said sitting up and patting the spot next to me. He walked over and sat down

“She raised me when my mother died” he said smiling sadly. I rested my hand on his and smiled comfortingly. He smiled back at me and then I got up and walked to the balcony. It overlooked all this land. It looked over the gates of the palace and beyond. I saw hills, a small path and the forest. I breathed in the amazing air and sighed. I felt at home here. More at home than I have in a long time. Since before dad walked out.

“It’s so amazing here” I whispered

“It is” he said from behind me. I turned and had a look at his face. It was so loving it kind of made my heart beat faster

“When you let yourself drop from that ledge, you nearly killed me out of fright” he said laughing nervously.

“I was scared of you. I thought you were going to kill me” I whispered.

“I would never” he said fiercely. I nodded and then I thought about my mum and my brother

“I wish I knew what killed them” I said suddenly

“What killed who?” he asked

“Mum and Gordy” I said. I felt his arms wrap around me and hold me protectively and lovingly.

“We will find them” he whispered in my ear. I nodded and rested my head on his shoulder. Together we watched the sun set and then we went to sleep. I have to admit I was nervous about being in the same bed as a guy especially my soulmate. But we just slept as if neither were here.
