Chapter 6- Bleeding Hearts

The next morning I woke up early to the sound of swords hitting each other. I frowned and climbed out of the bed. I looked and saw that Drake wasn’t in the bed. I walked to the balcony and peered down realising that the sound was coming from below me. I looked down and saw Drake and another guy fighting with swords. I watched completely entranced and then it ended when Drake floored the guy. I giggled and then headed down to see them. when I walked around or past people they bowed and I blushed but kept walking until I reached the doors. After the tour I remembered so much about the castle. I walked out and heads turned to me. They bowed and smiled and I walked past them to Drake who was sweating and grinning like a fool

“good morning Princess” he said happily

“Morning. I see you won” I said smiling at his sword

“That I did” he said grinning and then I heard groaning. I noticed the guy on the floor was Devon

“Hey Devon” I said. he groaned but waved.

“How about you get cleaned up and then we can go for a ride on the horses” he said smiling. I nodded and went back to the room. I had a shower and saw that someone had laid clothes out for me. I was shocked. It was a beautiful gown. With thin material. It was a soft material that was cream, with a tight upper bodice and a glowing skirt. I saw a pair of golden flats under the dress and I grinned. I put it on and I looked great. I kind of looked gorgeous but I am not conceited. I put my hair to the side and then a woman came in the room.

“Good morning princess” she said smiling. I smiled back

“Hello” I replied. she had a small golden band in her hands and I was curious.

“What is that?”

“Oh this? This is a band that goes around your head. the gem here rests on your forehead” she said smiling. I smiled and she slipped it on. I looked like the olden style princesses.

“Lovely. Prince Drake is waiting for you” she said opening the door for me. I nodded and gathered my skirt in my hand and walked down the hallway, down the three staircases and then out the door. When I reached the stable Drake was waiting there. He had a white horse and a black one. the black horse had a snippet on its nose and I was immediately intrigued by it

“You look beautiful” Drake murmured

“Thank you”

“This is Angelo. He is yours” Drake said handing me the reins of the black horse. I walked up and took them before scratching Angelo’s nose. He snorted and then lowered his head. I grinned and Drake helped me up. I waited for him and then we took off. We started walking but I could tell my horse wanted to go faster so I let him. we took off on a full run. I laughed and heard Drake urge his horse on. I used to ride all the time when I was younger. I came to abrupt hold when I entered this lovely field. It was full of violet coloured flowers. I climbed off of Angelo and took his reins to make him walk with me. He slowly walked while I looked at the field. I noticed Drake just enter and he climbed down. He led his horse over and smiled at me

“I take it you have ridden before?” he asked. I nodded and he grinned. He let go of his horse and sat in the field. I let go of Angelo and sat down. Angelo walked around and I picked up a flower

“They care called bleeding hearts” Drake said. I looked up and smiled

“They are beautiful” I told him honestly. He smiled

“What happened to your mum?” I asked. he froze and then looked up at me. Those brown eyes looked so sad.

“She was killed. By werewolves” he said sadly

“when?”

“I was just born. She went out afterwards to this field and got some flowers. On her way back... they ambushed her. the guards heard her scream but were too late. My dad tells me that he had every wolf in the kingdom slaughtered for her death” he said sadly.

“I’m sorry” I whispered

“She was his soulmate. Like you and I” he said grimacing

“Was she a vampire?” I asked

“She was human throughout my birth. But then after she had me she chose to change. My father wanted to change her on their wedding night but she refused” he said grasping the flower in his hand

“I come here to think when I am down” he said looking around. I did too.

“What about your family?” he asked

“I came home from school and saw that the house was eerily quiet. So like the curious person I am I called for mum but she didn't answer like she usually did. There was no chipper song being sung and no gurgling baby. I became worried. I checked every room and then I checked Gordy’s. That’s... when I saw them.... blood was all over the wall next to his crib and he was dead inside it and mum was on the floor” I said with tears in m eyes. Drake rested his hand on my shoulder and had sad eyes.

“I was told a savage animal killed her” I said looking at the flower in my hand.

“I’m sure that we will find them. I can get a witch to help find what did it” he offered

“No I couldn’t face something like that” I said shaking my head.

“Maybe we need to focus on a new topic” he said trying to smile

“Maybe” I said. We talked until the sun started to set and by that time I was resting my head on his shoulder while he was leaning on his hands looking at the sky. He helped me up and we rode back to the castle and then it was dinner time. I was starving. We ate with his father and some house guests

“Amalia how have you found the kingdom so far?” he asked. I shrugged and smiled

“It is very interesting” I said carefully. He beamed at me

“Yes it is” he said grinning

“Well the day after tomorrow will be the annual ball of Drake’s return and of your arrival” he said grinning. I froze. I wasn’t good with the whole dancing and I didn't like it much when people bowed to me.

“Sounds fun” I commented. Drake grasped my hand under the table and gave it a comforting squeeze.
