SABRINA

In a village called Hallow, in the busiest market place called Freshvilla, a lady with jet black hair walked almost running with the way she moved with a sack like bag in one of her hands, her hair was tied in a loose ponytail which continued to sway left and right with the way she walked, women couldn't help but look at her in envy, she was a looker, very pretty with a rare pale skin, emerald green eyes, sharp pointy nose, full red cherry lips and not to forget her amazing body structure, she has a tall and slender body, but her boobs were fuller than any other woman and her buttom were also as full making her appear enchanting but right now she was putting on an oversized gown making her curves hard to notice but still men too couldn't help but stare at such a rare beauty, while she smiled and moved playfully.

"Good morning, Mrs Fisher!" She said cheerfully with a sweet smile on her face, to a middle-aged woman who was trying to lift a huge sack from the floor but hearing the voice turned and smiled at the pretty young lady, while the market kept being busy with people buying and selling at every corner of the shops.

"Can i help you with that?" She said again with a playful look.

"Of course, my dear," Mrs Fisher smiled and turned back to look down at the sack on the floor, "Have been having a hard time lifting this sack filled of potatoes," She sighed.

"Don't you worry .... I will get that done in a giffy and be on my way," She said again before bending down and making an effort to lift the sack.

"Sabrina!," Someone yelled from afar and hearing her name being called ,she turned to look at the direction along with Mrs Fisher and they saw Sabrina's dearest friend, Elena who was a brown haired with matching eyes, she is also beautiful as she approached them, she heaved for air when she arrived at where they stood,

"Good morning, Mrs Fisher!," Elena managed to say after catching her breath.

"Morning, Elena," Mrs Fisher frowned, "It's so unladylike of you to run around the streets, you know how your mother is,".

"I know, Mrs Fisher," She smiled.

"You and Sabrina are really something, you both know how your mothers can be yet you do these things," Mrs Fisher scolded them both.

"We can't help being who we are, madame," Sabrina said lifting the sack and taking it into the house," Our mothers would just have to love us for how we are," she giggled and so did Mrs Fisher and Elena. On entering the big but not too big house they came across a man, he was tall,lean,handsome too with black hair and black eyes, on seeing Sabrina his face lit up like Christmas, he quickly made his way to were they stood at the entrance of the hall.

"Sabrina!," he said slightly excited his eyes then lowered to what she was carrying "Let me help you with that," he said before taking it from her.

"Thank you, Lyon," Sabrina said "I was just passing by when i saw that your mom needed help with what she was struggling with,".

"Always nice of you, Sabrina," Lyon replied flashing her a dashing smile he then took it to their kitchen and came back out just as quickly.

"We should leave now, madame, mother would be furious at how am turning late," Sabrina said.

"Me too," Elena added.

"Yes! Yes! Thank you for the help girls!," Mrs Fisher smiled sweetly.

"I will escort them out, mother," Lyon quickly added and soon they all walked out of the house.

"We would be on our way now, Lyon," Sabrina said before hooking her hand with Elena's "Bye?,"

"I will see you around, Sabrina," he finally replied before stepping back into the house.

Sabrina and Elena continued walking through the street heading to were their mothers sent them.

"Have you heard?," Elena suddenly said turning to look at her friend,who gave her a confused look.

"Heard what?," Sabrina questioned confused.

"You are in Hallow but you don't know what's going on?," Elena said with an amused smile on her face.

"Tell me or don't," Sabrina replied with a glare.

"Alright! Alright!" Elena snapped glaring back "But seriously how could you not know, everyone in town are all talking of it," she paused " Everywhere you go, they are discussing on it and you tell me you haven't heard about it,"she completed with a grin on her small and cute face.

"My dear friend, Elena," Sabrina started with a smile on her face,"That is because i don't gossip,you see i like to mind my own business than mind others,so saying if you don't want to tell me about it,its fine,"Sabrina ended who glared while Elena giggled.

"Alright! You do not have to be so serious about it, Sabrina,"she paused and put on a gentle smile,"I was only kidding, actually the king is looking for a bride for his son,".

"So what, Elena? Is this what you wanted to tell?" Sabrina asked with a slight frown on her face as they stopped at where they were going to get some vegetables.

"Good morning, Mrs Hooke!," Both girls greeted an elderly woman who was arranging her vegetables,she turned to look at them and smiled,she had a brown hair with few white strands and she was plump.

"Morning, Sabrina,"she turned to look at Elena,"Elena,how are your mothers?,"she asked staring at both of them.

"They are fine!,"They said together.

"Come to get vegetables,I see?" Mrs Hooke said looking at their bags.

"Yes Mrs Hooke," Sabrina replied "Mother likes your vegetables more,".

"And so does mine,"Elena added. They both handed their bags to her as she smiled.

"I will be right back then,they are fresh vegetables inside that just arrived,i will get them,wait here," The woman said and they just nodded and watch her leave.

Sabrina turned to her friend," It's not today that people are getting married to each other, Elena. The king's son wanting to get married,is that a big thing?" She questioned with one brow carved up.

"It is, Sabrina," Elena grinned," But that's not what's got people talking, His highness wants all eligible maiden to attend the upcoming ball so his son could pick a bride,".

"What!" Sabrina exclaimed shocked "You mean he wants people like us to attend a ball for elites and not only that,his son is going to marry any maiden he picks,both rich or POOR! Are you serious?,"

"I am," Elena paused "We were all shocked, I mean they are vampires,not ordinary ones but a pure-blooded ones,no one ever expected them to want to pick an average vampire,less a human as a bride," Elena said amused "Anyways, I for sure would be attending this ball which would be taking place in the next seven days, Mother has got me scenting oils and other things to beautify my face," Elena said smiling from ear to ear.

"What! You can't be saying that you would attend it?" Sabrina questioned her with a frown.

"Of course, Sabrina! Are you not going to attend it?" Elena asked her frowning.

"Why should I?" Sabrina asked.

"Then you must be crazy, Sabrina, every maiden in this village are all attending, why not you! It is a great opportunity! If one were to get married to him,you would live all your life full of luxury you would become an elite too like them! What is there not to love?" Elena said infuriated by her friend refusing to go with her while Sabrina was in thought, I could only pray that Mother haven't heard of this she thought to herself knowing her mother,if her mother were to know about this,she would be attending for sure but no she won't go,Never! Sabrina then turned to her friend,

"Yes there are lots of luxury if you were to marry him but would it be out of love, do you love him or does he loves you? You do not even know each other" Sabrina paused "What if he got married to you but always mistreats you,Hit you, what if you give birth and your child was brought up the wrong way, will that luxury cover for all this torture?"

"Sabrina, how can you tell if he is going to be a monster and hit you. You do not know him,"she paused and then continued,"And on the matter of love, Love can happen, He could stare into your eyes and fall in love and you will too and once married you get to know each other better," Elena said smiling "My friend you are thinking too much,".

"Say whatever you want but am not going," Sabrina concluded as Mrs Hooke came out and gave them both their bags while they payed her with silver coins and turned to leave.

"Fine if you are not going but i am,"Elena said excited.

Sabrina, on arriving home found her mother in the kitchen,cutting the potatoes and tossing them into the pot of boiling water. Her mother turned on hearing the footsteps to look at her daughter with a serious look on her face, she had a black hair too and pale skin but her daughter looked more paler,she had black eyes, but also very beautiful.

"What took you so long, Sabrina?," Sarphina asked her daughter who only stared back at her.

"I bumped into Mrs Fisher who was carrying something heavy and needed help,so i decided to help her with it," Sabrina replied before placing the bag on the kitchen counter.

"So unladylike of you, Sabrina, to carry heavy things in an inappropriate way," Sarphina frowned "She has got a son, you could have called out to him for her instead of doing it by yourself,".

"Am sorry mother, it skipped my mind and i could not be sure if Lyon was in the house," Sabrina said staring at her mother who only glared at her.

"She has got a butler,does she not? Don't do such things, alright?"

"Alright, Mother," Her mother and her were the only ones living in the small but also not that small house, her father who was rich passed away before she was born, her mother had always told her of how they were rich before and lived in a huge mansion and that only cleared her of how her mother was always harsh on her whenever she did unladylike things,she said they were thrown out to the streets by her father's family after his death,they didn't know she was pregnant with her but because they were yet to get married before he died and the fact that they didn't know or care about her being pregnant they threw her mother out,saying she just wanted to enjoy the life she never worked for.

After sitting and having lunch with her mother,she got up,

"I will be heading to the library now, Mother," Sabrina said before going to pick up her bag.

"Okay dear," Sarphina smiled "Be careful and don't do inappropriate things,remember you are a lady now and not a teenager,"

"Alright, Mother," She went close to her mom and kissed her on the cheek before waving bye and leaving the house.

In a big castle,Far away from the villagers of Hallow the guards at the sides of the gate opened it wide for a high quality carriage to ride in, carrying it's master, When the carriage came to an halt, the coach man jumped off his seat to open the door, for few seconds no body came out, then a man stepped down on his shiny pair of shoe,he had silver hair with deep red eyes, He was tall and well built ,very handsome too, He stood with a grin on his face as he started making use of his handkerchief to wipe off the blood stain from his hands, suddenly a man came out from the entrance of the huge castle,he was well dressed,he had brown hair and bright red eyes, an average vampire, he was handsome looking too but not even equal to the silver-haired one.

"Lucian," The brown haired called out as he came to halt in front of the silver-haired named Lucian who was still busy wiping blood from his hands clean,the other man only stared while the coachman returned to his seat ,"Welcome back"The brown haired bowed.

"Theodore,how are you?,"Lucian said finally looking up from his hands to grin at Theodore.

"Am fine, My prince. How about you?" Theodore asked not smiling.

"You know me, Everyday i find amusing than the other," Lucian grinned "Tho not more than five kills today, too low plus the unwanted package in the carriage which i want you to make dispose of, if you don't mind, Theodore?" He asked mischievously.

"Of course not, Your highness," Theodore replied already smelling the blood of the dead person.

"Excellent," Lucian said and started walking in, he walked in the entrance to be greeted by the butler and servants,

"Greetings, Young Master?" The butler bowed .

"Where is father, Odin?" Lucian asked the average vampire.

"He is in his study room, Master,"Lucian walked from corridor to corridor when suddenly,

"Lucian!"
