Prologue:Alice and the Vampire
Alice could only describe it as someone watching her from afar, like a guardian angel or some other deity .Taking a look around the grand ballroom with its plush carpeting and the magnificent porcelain sculptures that lined the walls, yet she spotted nothing out of the ordinary. Mingling in the line for the punch she gazed up at the balcony, her heartbeat exhilarating within her fragile chest cavity. Her lips curled nervously as she locked eyes with the mysterious gorgeous stranger who obviously had been there for quite some time.He was an unusual pale color with an untamed onyx mane and possessed the iciest blue eyes she had every seen.
Dressed in an all black tux, the stranger seem to have a sophisticated air about him ; a predatory one. She didn't know how long exactly they stared into each others eyes, it could have been seconds or minutes.He curled his lips back in a similar way as hers revealing a pair of solid white fangs. Her hand moved subconscienciously to her enticing neck. 'He's a vampire,'Alice thought, the hairs on her neck stood up. As if sensing what she was thinking he smiled at her.
"Are you okay miss?" The man behind her asked. Alice tore her eyes from the enigmatic stranger for the very first time.
She turned to the elderly male behind her with a smile plastered on her face hiding her fear,"Sorry,I'm fine," she said,"thank you for asking though." Finally after getting a drink she returned to her seat. She felt scared now , a possible terror she had never felt before.Her gaze turned back up toward the balcony. He was gone!'Was he a ghost?' Her mind shrieked.
Soon the music became a low rhythm as the maitre d' stood at the bottom of the staircase that led from the balcony cleared his throat to get everyone's attention, all the dancers who were on the ballroom floor gathered around for the pending announcement. Alice remain seated."Before we end our evening," he began,"our gracious lord and host will have one last dance with a special young lady." All the women squeal with joy as a young handsome male descends the steps. Alice's face emitted her fear and grief.'Its him.I wasn't hallucinating after all.'
He climbed down the stairs with such perfect grace that not even a woman of the highest status and grace could compare to him.Once he reached the ballroom floor all the women crowded around him except for Alice; she was the only one who knew what their host actually was. His turquoise eyes met with her emerald green ones and kept them on her and her alone.
"Now ladies who will be ever so kind as to share a dance with me?" He possessed a deep sultry baritone that was dripping with seduction. His admirers swooned and thronged around him each trying to get in reach of him , but he still kept his eyes on Alice and made his way through the crush of women with such ease toward her.
Looking up, time seemed to stop for Alice as she stared up into those blue eyes that seem to haunt her. He gave a slight bow and held out his gloved hand, "would you accompany for this dance my dear?" The women behind them witnessing this either let out a low growl of anger or a sigh of rejection.How dare he choose a pauper like her. Terror gripped her heart, yet she did not feel the need to run away.Before she could stop her actions Alice took his hand and her feet moved without her permission as he led her out onto the dance floor and the music started up again. At the beginining, they were the only ones dancing then other couples fell in to join them.
"Your heart rate is beating at an incredible speed," he whispered in her ear. "Do you fear me Alice?"
Alice swallowed hard. 'He knows my name! How?' Questions ran rapidly in her brain.
"Don't worry how I know your name Alice, you will soon be mines again and all shall be clear." He stated.
" What do you---" her words were silence when he enveloped his lips with hers.The lip-lock was intoxicating.She had never experienced anything so wonderful before, their tongues exploring each others cavern. Both dangerous and filled with ecstasy. For a vampire he was a good kisser. Not wanting this moment to end her hand trailed up his spine to massage the nap of his neck.He growled appreciatively as he deepene the kiss and encircled his arms around her slim waist before breaking it to pay more attention to her neck. Alice sucked in a breath of air and clenched her eyes closed before letting out a scream of agony when his fangs pierced her delicate skin.Her blood reminded him of cherries. Her body became limp in his arms. Before he was able to suck her dry. She was one of him now. An immortal. A vampire.When her eyes blinked open they were blank and lifeless.
"What have you done to me!" Alice screamed in shock, tears cascading done her round face.
"I have made you my queen."
