Royal Darkness Chapter 5

I couldn’t say anything at first. I was so shocked. "What are you talking about. Your lying. There is no was in fucking hell I would say that."
"Now why would I lie about something like this?"
"I don’t know. Maybe….."I couldn’t think of anything to say. I just couldn’t believe it. But then again. Why would he want to lie to me. I was the strongest vampire on earth and yet he says something like that to me.
"I’m waiting." he says.
"Ok. Fine. Lets just say that it did happen and I’m not saying that it did, why wouldn’t I remember. I think I would have remembered something like that."
"Because you lost your memories when you were young."
"What? Now that is a lie. There is no way I would be able to lose my memories."
"I never said that you did something to lose your memories. I just said that you did."
"Ok then. How did I lose them then? If your so smart then you should be able to answer that."
I looked him in the eyes. I noticed that for some strange reason he look sad and yet angry at the same time. I was so confused.
"You lost your memories because someone took them."
"What?!?! No one has that kind of power."
"Actually, there was one person. But nobody has seen him in a while. I believe that the last someone saw him was right before your mother died. Your mother banished him for committing the worse crime."

"Oh yeah. What was it then?" I asked. At this point I didn’t know what to expect. So many things had happened I just wasn’t sure any more. I still didn’t believe though. Ok. Maybe I was starting to but still. Standing there just staring at him something hit me. I didn’t know what it was. I never felt anything like it before. I all of a sudden got all warm inside. What was going on? I started to feel like I needed him in my life. Like he was the other part to me. Wait a minute. What was I thinking? This was a guy that I barely knew.
Then, I noticed that the sadness in his eyes were gone and replaced by pure anger. The kind that doesn’t show very often no matter who you are.
"His crime was that he…he kidnapped you when you were ten. And in the process, he took away some of your memories. But they found him like right when he started to take your memories. Like the ones of me and you. And some of you and your parents. So your mom banished him."
The anger didn’t subside, instead it grew more intense.
"And I swear if I ever see that fucking bastard again I’m goina fucking castrate him." His eyes were a deep ocean blue. Darker than they usually are. Everyone’s eyes tend to go a darker color when there angry and a lighter color when they’re hungry. For example. When I get angry my eyes turn a deep forest green. Usually, my eyes are a bright emerald green. And when I get hungry they’re more of a greenish sea foam green.

I can tell he was way past angry and almost past furious. He was well near rage. I had no idea what I was doing when I did what I did. I walked up to him. I cupped his face in my hands and leaned in and kissed him. I don’t even know why I did it. It wasn’t like I liked or loved him right? Or did I. When I was just standing there minute ago, when that feeling rushed over me, was my heart telling me something? Did I really like or even love him. But how could I. but then again, he just reminded me that I had lost my memories of him. Maybe while my head forgot, my heart never forgot the yearn that it longed for him. As soon as my lips touched his, something happened. Something that didn’t happen when he kissed me. Everything started rushing back to me. All of my lost memories came back. They never were gone. They were just locked up way back in my head waiting for someone to unlock them. I remembered the day that me and Jay made the promise.

I was out in a forest. Crying. My parents had gotten on to me because I tried to take blood from some human boy that was in my class. "Are you alright?" a voice asked. I looked up with tears still running down my face. "Ye…Ye….Yea." I stutter. "It doesn’t look like it to me. My name is Jay’den. What’s yours?" "My name is Rani." "Are you a vampire just like me?" Jay’den asks me. "I just thought that you were because you smell a lot like me." "Yea. I am." " Cool. You’re the first vampire kid that I have ever met." "Same here." By then, I had stopped crying. "You look a whole lot more pretty when your not crying" I started to laugh. "Your funny. I like you. Maybe when I grow up one day, I’ll marry you." "Yea. It’s a promise."

I was brought back to the present. I was still kissing Jay’den. I could tell he started to calm down. Then, he started to kiss me back. It wasn’t like the kiss we had a moment ago. This one was more passionate. Then he started to move down to my neck. He nuzzled it like a mother cat does her kittens. He wrapped his arms tight around me and I wrapped mine around him. He held me more close than anyone has ever done before. It was then I knew that these arms of his would never let me go. No matter what happened between us, he would always protect me. He leaned up and got right by my ear and whispered "I love you. I always have and always will. I will protect you with my life no matter what happens."
"I love you too. I remembered the promise."
He pulled back. Not far enough to let go of his embrace around me but just enough to look me in the face.
"You did? But how? I though that memory was gone."
"The memory was just locked up in the back of my head and when I kissed you a minute ago I remembered. But that was the only thing I remembered."
"I can’t believe it. You actually remembered.!"
Then I heard something out in the woods near us. I stiffened and I felt Jay’den stiffen too. I knew he had heard it to.
"It smells like human but not quite. It has some kind of smell that I don’t realize." I say.
"Yea. I smell it too."
"It’s getting closer."
"Get behind me." He says. He moves into a protective position in front of me.
I hear a laugh and it wasn’t me or Jay’den. I see a man walk out. Although he looked our age. He was the same height as Jay’den but a little smaller. He had dark brown eyes and the same hair cut as Michael. Overall. He was sexy. For a human that is but Jay’den is way better looking.
"Well well well. What do we have here? A couple of vampire teenagers. How cute. To bad I’m going have to kill you!"
