See it from my Side

Kisses In The Sunlight

I sat in my room, wearing the pure silver chains around my wrists, they burned like fire, but there was nothing I could do. I had embarrassed my father, this was my punishment. The chains made me weak, I felt sick and dizzy almost constantly and I couldn't help but hate him.

I looked up sharply from my place on the floor when the door slowly creaked open. Julietta's head peaked around the door. " Hey, Anna, are you OK?" she asked me, what a stupid question! I was tied up with silver how on earth could I be OK?

" Yes I'm just wonderful I just love being tied up like a goddamn prisoner!" I spat sarcastically.

" They said you'd say something like that. I'm here to cut the chain anyway so if you'd like my help I suggest you be a little nicer to me, sister." she spat back viciously, I turned my head slightly to the side and raised my eyebrows, staring at her pointedly. " OK fine but it was worth a try, Julianna," as she walked over and began to cut away at the chains that bound me (wearing gloves of course) she added,   " Wolfy called, so did that Stephan guy actually, he seemed nice, he wasn't at all like those others father has paired you with, he even spoke to me like I was your age! Treated me like a real grown up, he was shocked to find out I was your sister though, said we were very different kinds of beautiful. I thought that was sweet. I hope father pairs me with someone like that. I think you two would make a great couple. Wolfy's cute and everything and he likes you but father would never-"

I cut her off then, " I am not interested in Wolfy. He's a friend and everything but like you said, even if I did like him father would never let me and him happen, he's not exactly someone that father gets along with is he." We never 'talked boys' never.

" Well, obviously not, I mean who is but I refuse to believe that you've never even considered him, you never go more than three days without speaking." She said flipantly. She had a point really, even if I refused to admit it.

" OK, I'm out, you can go now." I spat, bearing my fangs at her.  She wouldn't get her adult fangs for around a year. Most vampires get their fangs at around the age of fourteen or fifteen, I got mine early, at the age of twelve, it was an excrutiating time, about three months, it's the one thing that has ever made my father proud of me, my brother, however, was a rather late bloomer, his fangs came in at about age sixteen. Until we get out fangs, we eat human food only, but we do tend to prefer our meat a little rare.

" No need to go all fangy on me." She muttered as she turned to leave.

" No need to be a brat either." I hissed back. Being the youngest child, father had always showered her in affection, then there was the fact that she was the only one of us to be born with black hair, my father had always been very fixated on how we looked. Julietta's hair was ebony and cut into a short pixie style, the perfect little vampire princess. Unlike me.

She was almost out of my bedroom when a blinding flash of pain ripped through my head, I sank to my knees and screamed through gritted teeth, holding my head between my hands in a vain attempt at reducing the pain. " Julianna?" Julietta screamed, " One second I'll go and get help." Within a few minutes our family physician was in the room along with my brother, father, sister and mother. They surrounded me, concerned expressions taking over their faces.

" Sir," The old physician addressed my father, family physician was a...family job, the physician was an old human woman, who's father was our previous physician and his father before him and so on, " I believe it was the silver, she was in contact with the chains for far too long, I believe that I can help her, but I do not think that it is wise for her to remain in the castle. I would like your permission for her to be taken to the human infirmary."
