Valkyrie - the Vampire Princess by Pet Torres Page A

Even though, I was attracted to him that was so strange to me. I had desired a monster.
    “ I came to get you and take you to your father,” he claimed, his voice quiet.
    I shivered, perplexed. I was wordless.
    I should have asked him several things. Nothing came into my mind, just grief after knowing the entire truth about my father and me.
    “ Your father is our master…our guardian.” His voice was mournful.
    A storm was formed outside the house. Lightning and thunder emerged, sprung up outside the window.
     
    “You’ll be one of us soon.” He glared at me. “It’s in your blood.”
    He stared at me again.
    “ You’ll be a … vampire… ” he said, quietly.
     
    Everything made sense to me at that moment. There was no doubt. I was definitely the daughter of a vampire and soon I would be just like him - I would be of his kind.
    “ I wish I wasn’t born…” That was all I said.
     
    Now I knew everything about the mystery in my dreams, about my past, about my vampire father and also about Eros.
    Then I walked in the direction of the front door and stepped out of that house. At the same time I was embarrassed at all that Eros had just told me.
    It was raining harder . It didn’t matter if my body got wet. I didn’t care about anything else.
    Everything made no sense to me.
    Death would be welcome in my life.
    I walked slowly through the streets, barefoot after I had taken off my sandals. Eros followed my steps while he was transformed into a vampire. He could jump at great heights, over the roofs of the houses, so I couldn’t see his quick movements.
    I stopped walking on a deserted street and opened my arms extensively at the same time as I was inviting death. I saw an intense brightness in the sky and I fell on the floor, totally unconscious.
    Eros came down from the roof of one house, through a double jump. He was soon on his feet again, quite close to me. He picked me up in his arms and he was watching my livid face due to the rain.
    He stepped inside my bedroom through the open window and held me in his arms like a rag doll. He gently placed me on my bed and noticed that my dress was entirely wet. Then he used his mind’s power while his hand was sliding along my cold body. He made all the water evaporate from my dress and also from my body.
    When he finished his vampirism process, he seemed exhausted since he had used almost all of his powers trying to ensure I didn’t catch a cold.
    He stared at me to check if I was really fine. He knew I would only wake up the next morning. Then he jumped out of my window and disappeared into the darkness.
     

CHAPTER 25
     
     
    At breakfast, my mother noticed my glum expression seeing as I gazed down all the time. Though I tried to give the impression of being perfectly fine, my mother knew I wasn’t.
    She knew me so well and knew all my feelings, even when I was in love with someone. She wanted to know why I was unusually quiet. I couldn’t tell her all I knew. I didn’t want her to know what I would become.
    She had always been naïve and never knew about my father’s true origin. Why should she know about everything in those crucial circumstances? That wasn’t correct. She didn’t need to suffer along with me. I should spare her from suffering.
    “ Don’t worry about me… Everything’s good,” I said, before getting my stuff and walking away.
     
    ***
     
    I went to school. Eros was the first person to walk in my direction. I looked at his face and he looked satisfied. He was staring at me with a sexy grin. His duty was over. Now I knew the entire truth. I glanced at him furiously.
    “ Did you sleep well last night?” he asked, sarcastically.
    “Yeah, and I slept more than I should,” I answered sarcastically too although my face was angry.
    “ Days for us are usually short… though nights are long…” he said proudly and looked into my eyes.
    “ You said I’ll be a vampire soon.” I looked back at him. “When will it be?”
    “
