BLOOD SUCKERS

~VINCENT P.O.V~

(9:00 PM)

'You have to find her'

'You must find her'

'She's still alive'

Those specific words have been haunting my dreams, even my own thoughts for the past thousand years, to the point where it's getting annoying and unbearable.

For centuries my kind has been around watching the world evolve throughout ancient times then straight to modern.

People may assume being immortal is an exciting feeling to be on earth for years not getting older but reality check, it's only misery upon misery while you sit back and watch your friends or loved ones grow grey, weak then die from natural causes or misfortune.

Each passing year is enough to stop me from engaging in any sort of contact with humans.

It's not worth it anymore.

Centuries I've managed to watch over my people after my dear ancestors with an iron fist knowing too damn well the happiness I wish for is only an illusion from my fading past.

"Vin! I know you're in here, I can smell your scent. We need to talk now." Valentina knocks on the door bringing me back to reality with her demanding attitude.

"Can't you just die and leave me in peace?" I wonder with an eye roll knowing she wouldn't leave unless it's important which I know it is.

"Why do you hate me so much? Unless I could die, I would years ago rather than keeping your devil ass in line." The sarcasm never left her tone, she's always like this since birth.

"I don't hate you, Val, I'm just not necessarily excited about your existence." This is naturally how we both show our love towards each other. People might not agree with it but that's how we appreciate each other even if we can't stand the sight of the other.

Hearing her low unbothered chuckle on the other side of the door, I stood up not wanting her to go and tear the door apart like last time.

Opening the door, I lean against the door frame with my arms crossed.

"Now talk." I began eyeing her small figure as she began flipping through the files.

"You're needed at City Hall in an hour, It's urgent." She finally said.

"Is it really----" I was cut off.

"Yes Vin, it's essential." She sighed.

"Let Kaz take my place, I don't have the time."

Val immediately shook her head. "No Vin! You're always absent from meetings, never going out, stop living in the past and focus on the matter at hand. You're a King but behaving like a stubborn child."

"Vincent, it's not about not having time, it's about making time. Never be a poisoner of what happened in the past, it was a lesson that is your life sentence." She fumed with a slight anger, walking away leaving me to take in what I just heard.

I sighed, "Why is she always right?"

Closing my eyes, I allowed my nerves to calm down.

Not many would have the guts to say that straight to my face and live to tell the tale. Yes, I'm King, the royal blood runs in the family but sometimes I don't want to be King. Too many responsibilities, meetings, protecting my people.

This role is not easy but it's what I was born into since childhood, unlike my older brother who is away in Germany with his wife living the best life.

I didn't have a choice though.

Grabbing my phone, car keys, and jacket, while leaving my office I was then greeted by two of our household servants. I nod in greeting as I walk through the busy mansion that's never silent even if I want it to be, then out the main front door.

Walking past the uplifting statue of my mother, I pay my respects towards her like every other day before heading into the garage. Approaching my grey Audi, I decided to send a message to that bastard Kaz to meet me at the center of City Hall.

City Hall is a three hours drive away which is already exhausting in my case just by thinking about it. I could simply speed walk and reach there early like I always do but a grand entrance is never outdated.

Being a part of the Royal family required vampires like myself to live in the estate located in Royal Woods which is off-limits to locals and by locals I'm talking about the normal vampires.

Now there are many things to know about the supernatural and the type of power we possess but some other time, I'll fill you guys in.

The only thing that's important right now is that there are many vampire Kings out in the different aspects of the world but here in England, is my territory where I'm the boss.

Did I tell you that humans adore us? Well, the fragile creatures admire us wishing to have what we have, wishing to know what goes on inside Royal Woods.

It's annoying that beings like them love to put their noses in our business and when they suffer the consequences we're called bloodsuckers or monsters.

It's also funny how humans have the knowledge to create stories about us vampires, although some are ridiculous, even some weird-ass movies, that don't define the true nature of vampires (the movie I'll let slide is Twilight but did they have to put wolves in?).

Rumors have been going around for generations stating that the sunlight can kill us or that garlic can protect littles kids from the monsters lurking in the shadows.

We're not in the late 1700s anymore, vampires have gotten very knowledgeable and create ways to protect our people.

***********************

As King there is this treaty that Vampires and Humans must agree on which involves a strict rule, they don't trouble us and we don't kill them simply.

'Find her'

'You must find her'

Smashing my feet on the brakes as my hands suddenly tightens around the steering wheel.

"This can't be." I heavily breath out, my heart tightens around my chest, blood is rushing through my veins and my fangs are out.

A vision was being shown through my eyes.

It seems as if it's a person, judging by the body figure it's a woman dressed in full black. She was just standing there watching the sky without a care in the world.

Her eyes were breathtaking but I can't see the full details because of the thick fog around her.

A sharp pain pinches my skin leaving me to scream in agony as it slowly vanishes.

Grabbing my hair trying to control my breathing, my fangs were now gone.

"She can't be," I whisper.

"SHE CAN'T BE MY MATE!" I shout banging the dashboard in frustration. This has to be some sick bullsit.

For us, we only have one mate which is your soulmate. There's no such thing as having another mate. It's against the rule, this doesn't make any sense.

I must be overthinking things.

***********************

"Where the hell have you been?" Kaz asked.

"We have been waiting for you for about three and half hours," He was still talking.

Ignoring him was the best option right now, I made my way into the meeting room noticing everyone was seated and reading to begin. Feeling my presence they all stood up as a sign of respect to us royals.

"I'm not sorry for being late and I sure hope that's not a problem."

"Not your Majesty." I heard them all say as I motioned for them to be seated while Kaz handed over the reports I've missed.

Scanning through each report that I've found seriously ridiculous and not worth my time and one that caught my eye was that Jonathan, a royal commander wants to have a word with me around next week.

Running my hands through my hair leaving it messy, I couldn't help but hear some of the females whispering among themselves.

"You know I can hear you right." I didn't bother looking up to know the expression they were showing.

"I may not have a mate but don't think I'm dating either of you females here. Now let's get this meeting over with." I assure them while keeping my cool.

*********************

Spending all my time discussing matters, looking into files, and writing down regulations that need to be sorted out next week.

I needed to get my mind off things, especially that vision I've witnessed. Taking out my phone I've decided to call someone in particular.

"Hello."

"Val what's the best place anyone could go to take their mind off such situations?" I spoke on the phone asking for help.

She knows everything about this type of stuff that I'm not accustomed to at the moment.

"There's a club in town called MidNight, it will suit your style." She said then hung up.

Tossing the phone across the bed, I couldn't help but wonder if I have a second chance at gaining the one thing I'm missing in my life.

They say broken hearts mend over time but mines don't, I know for sure she's the one.

Letting go of my first love is not easy but I must if I don't want to lose my humanity which is slowly fading away.
