1 (1/2)

In a darkened room, during the early months of summer, a 17 year-old was lying asleep in her King-sized bed holding onto her necklace that was given to her by a special person, her mind was filled with many thoughts, wishes and a certain person. Having only slept for several hours, she was soon awoken from her slumber by a tapping sound. While she had told herself it was nothing and that she should return to sleep, the sound continued till it drove the girl to get out of her bed and investigate...

Krystal’ POV

I sat up and looked out at the window. There, I saw a perfect creature smiling at me showing his impressive fangs, with his shiny black wings spread, flapping up and down along with his glowing, bright, red eyes. A smile plastered on my face as I hurriedly got up and dash to the window.

Amber: hey Princess!

Krystal: hey yourself! Why are you here? If someone is to find you here, you'll be burned at stake!

Amber: and why is that?

Krystal’s POV

I met him not long ago; he saved my life when I was trying to kill myself. The fact that I was a princess of a kingdom and I’m also the next heir to the throne. I have to work and train everyday to become a suitable ruler. Not mentioning the fact that I also had to go to school since I was only 17. All the stress from working and studying eventually drove me crazy. So I decided to place myself on the rooftop of a tall building and jumped down, I closed my eyes waiting for the pain but it never happened. I opened my eyes and looked down, I was floating. Then I met the most perfect pair of eyes in the world. At that moment, I knew I fell, not physically but emotionally. I can see it in his eyes too. However, we got a problem, a big problem...

Krystal: it's because you're a vampire.

Amber: it's not like someone would find out right? I mean, I look human.

Krystal: well, with your wings exposing like that and those brightly glowing eyes of yours, it's really not difficult for someone to recognize your identity.

Amber: if it's about the wings, I can just put them away.

Krystal: your eyes shined a dull color tonight, did something happen?

Amber: I ... I don't know...

Krystal: what do you mean you don't know? Are you stupid? Tell me what happened, I can see the sadness in your eyes.

Amber: princess, I... listen, our memories together, do you remember them?

Krystal: of course! From the moment you caught me in your arms, from when our eyes met. I knew you're the only one for me. But ...

Amber: but people are scared of me right?

NO ONE’S POV

The vampire smiled gently, emitting a nice, warm aura even though he was a demon himself. He knew from the start, there will never be an 'US' between them. Humans are afraid of him, even his species would paralyze just from a glare from him. One day, they would kill him ... But no one knew he was already on the edge of breaking down completely.

Krystal: please don't say that!

Amber: that's an undeniable truth princess. Just how my species are afraid of your existence along with other humans.

Krystal: me?

Amber: yes, your existence makes me shiver, and is killing me each day at the thought of you being mistreated if they find out about me.... Princess, I came to say goodbye.

Krystal: goodbye? What?!

Amber: that's right. I must leave.

Krystal: to where?

Amber: Back to where I came from. I can't stay by your side, princess. You knew it's impossible for us to be together. We're too different.
