By WickedLove-
Estella had everything going for her. She was being courted by a man in her small village. He was everything she looked for. He was a gentleman, he took her out on walks, and he even asked her father for his blessing in marrying her. They were attached at the hip, and they were falling madly in love. There wasn't anything in this world, that would make Estella not fall in love with this man. She felt like apart of herself was finally waking up, and she felt like she was on top of the world. That was until Male One came into the picture. He was on a so called 'Hunting Trip' with his friends, when he first spotted Estella, and he knew he had to have her.
As Estella and Nathan were getting closer as the days passed Male One was trying his hardest to get into her life. Little by little he was coming around more and more, Estella's father spent hours on end talking with the male. He knew Nathan treated his daughter like a princess, but Male One would treat her like a queen. Estella didn't want anything to do with it. She wanted Nathan, and she refused to even think about leaving him. That's when everything started going down hill. Her parents started fighting with her, and Nathan started fighting with her as well. He accused her of cheating on him, when in reality she never did.
Male One was standing by watching the whole thing unfolding. His plan was working. Digging his way into her life was working. He just had to make sure Nathan and her family wouldn't be standing in his way. He just had to wait for the perfect moment, and then he would snatch the woman away, and make her what he was. A creature of the night. A vampire. He knew they didn't believe in that kind of thing, but it was true. He's been searching for his queen for hundreds of years. He spotted Estella, and he knew she was the one for him. He had to have her, and he was going to make it so. He didn't care if she would be heart broken, he would have what he wanted most. That was Estella.
Estella was slowly realizing that ever since Male One came into the picture, everything was turning bad. Her family was turning against her, and Nathan was getting colder and colder as the days passed by. She took the time to write them all letters. She made sure they were sealed, and protected. She gave Nathan his the night he left. He was beyond livid with her, he didn't even want to talk to her. He yanked the letter out of her hands, and stormed out. She had spent hours in her bedroom crying. Her parents were the same way. They wanted nothing to do with her. Meanwhile Male One was getting his way. He stood in the shadows, and he knew that night was the night he would go in for the kill.
As everyone was getting ready for bed, Male One left the cabin, and he went into the little sleeping town. He slithered though the shadows, and his hunger was getting the best of him. He was finally going to feed, and there wasn't anyone stopping him from doing it. His first stop was Nathan. He left Nathan's family alone. He didn't have an issue with them, he had an issue with Nathan, and how he had made Estella fall in love with him. That night Male One slid into the cabin, and he killed Nathan. The man's blood tasted amazing, and he sure as hell wasn't done yet. He had one more stop to make, and it was at Estella's home. He was almost at his goal. He couldn't stop now.
Male One made his way back to Estella's. He was silent the whole time, he slipped into her parents room, and that's when he did the dirty work. Then he slipped into Estella's room covered in blood. She was about to scream when he stopped her. He told her everything. He was a vampire and she was his queen. She didn't want to believe him, but she had no choice. He told her Nathan was dead, and so were her parents. She didn't have a choice in the matter. What'll happen when Estella runs away? Will Male One make her realize it's meant to be? Or will he always be chasing her down? Only we can decide what their outcome can be.

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 The sunlight hitting the woman's skin felt amazing. A small sigh passed though her lips as she titled her head back, and her eyes slowly drifted closed. Nathan looked over towards her and he cocked his head slightly to the side. [b "Are you alright Estella?"] he asked lightly. The woman slowly opened her chocolate brown eyes and looked towards the male. [#E67E22 "I'm perfectly fine. Just enjoying the warm weather"] she said lightly. The male smiled and rubbed the back of his neck. He was getting slightly nervous, and he didn't like the feeling at all.]]
[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 He cleared his throat and looked towards her. [b "Listen, you know you and I have been together for over a year now, and I've been talking to your father and I think this is the perfect time, and the perfect place for this"] he said lightly. Estella's heart was hammering inside of her chest as she sat up and locked her eyes on him. [#E67E22 "Nathan? What are you doing?"] she asked lightly. She was slowly losing her voice, as her heart felt like it was about to burst from her chest. The male turned and reached into his pocket.]]
[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 The woman's eyes locked on the box, and she knew what was happening. Her dreams were slowly starting to come true, and she knew what he was about to ask her. [b "Estella, will you share the rest of your life with me?"] he asked her as he opened the box. Her eyes swam with tears and she nodded lightly. [#E67E22 "Of course I will"] she breathed out. The male smiled and slid the ring onto her finger, and then brought her hand to his lips. She broke out into a smile as she hugged him.]]
[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 The two were soon on their feet, and heading back to her parents farm house, when she felt someone watching her. She turned her eyes to the man standing in the trees, and she shook her head. The look on his face scared her, and she didn't know why. She wasn't about to ruin this good feeling though. She would worry about that later. She let Nathan take her hand, and lead her across the lawn and into the house. She held her hand out, as she showed off the ring to her mother, and little brother.]]
[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 Her father was standing there with his arms crossed over his chest. He looked worried, and it was starting to worry Stella as well. She excused herself from Nathan's side and walked over to her father. She stood there and then started playing with her fingers. She bit the inside of her cheek as she looked up at him. [#E67E22 "Why aren't you happy for me?"] she asked. The older man just shook his head and looked down at his child. [b "I am happy for you, but something's not right"] he spoke softly.]]
[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 Before she had a chance to ask what he meant, he pulled her out the side door and out onto the grass. [#E67E22 "Daddy, you are scaring me.."] she breathed out. [b "You should be scared child. Did you see the man at the edge of the woods?"] he hissed. All she could do was nod her head. [b "God no. I hoped he would have forgotten.."] he breathed out. Estella bit her lower lip wondering what her father was talking about. She stood there waiting for him to speak. It didn't take long for him to sigh, and rub his face.]]
[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 [b "I had promised you to Valen. He's been watching you for a couple of year's now, and he was waiting to speak to you. I didn't think you would get with Nathan, because I know that Valen want's to make you his. I promised him I would work my hardest to make that happen. Seeing you this happy it breaks my heart, because I know it won't last"] he said looking towards her with sadness in his eyes. Estella stood there listening to him speak. Her heart was shattering inside of her chest.]]
[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 [#E67E22 "You promised me to someone I don't even know? To someone I don't want to get to know? How could you do this to me?"]]]
[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 [b "I didn't mean too baby. I really didn't. Just know he's going to come to you in a couple of hours, and you will have a choice to make."]]]
[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 [#E67E22 "What choice would that be daddy? Or do you not know?"] she hissed. She didn't even wait for him to speak up. She turned on her heel and stormed into the house, slamming the door behind her.]]
[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 The male shook his head and looked towards the trees. Sure enough, Valen was standing there looking slightly pleased with what had happened. The older male opened the door and slipped back inside. He knew something horrible was going to happen, but he kept that to himself. He pretended to be happy for the couple. As the hours slipped away, he didn't want to leave his family, and his daughter alone. There was a monster outside waiting to attack, and he felt it deep in his bones. As the sun started to set, it was time for Nathan to leave.]]
[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 The couple walked out the front door, and he wrapped his arms around Estella's waist, drawing her closer. [b "I honestly can't wait to start planning out wedding, and our future together. I love you Estella Rose Kingsley, more than you will ever know"] he whispered. The woman looked up at him, and licked her lips lightly. She felt like her heart was breaking. [#E67E22 "I love you too Nathan James Oakley. More than my own life"] she whispered back. The two shared a kiss, before he headed down the lane to his home.]]
[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 As Estella stood there watching the sunset, she spotted the man from earlier that day. She narrowed her eyes and turned to go inside. She spent the time with her family, and when it was time for bed she excused herself to her room. She could hear her family slowly retire to their own rooms as well, and she sighed lightly. She heard a soft tap on her window, and her heart skipped a beat. [#E67E22 "Nathan, what are you doing here? Daddy will have your hide"] she said opened her window. She nearly screamed, but a hand covered her mouth.]]
[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 [b "Shush my darling. You shouldn't scream and alert your family to me being here. If I was you, I would keep my bloody mouth shut. Your father told you who I was, and what I would be coming for. So you now have a choice. Either you become my bride of the darkness, or you watch as I rip your family apart. Then I'll make sure your lover boy down there, is killed slowly"] he hissed. Estella's eyes darted to the window. The man holding her helped her look out.]]
[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 Sure enough, there was Nathan bound and gagged. She felt tears sting her eyes as she was ripped away from the window. [b "When I remove my hand, you have two minutes to think, if you don't reply your brother will be the first to die"] he said with a growl. He removed his hand from her mouth, and she let out a sob. She wanted to move away, but couldn't. She had a choice to make. She stood there and looked towards him. [#E67E22 "If I do choose to be yours, you will leave Nathan and my family alone?"] she asked.]]
[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 The man nodded lightly. [b "I'll leave them alone, and I'll make it look like you killed yourself right here and now"] he breathed out. She sighed lightly, and knew her choice was going to make her hate herself. She wanted her family, and Nathan safe. She knew she would hate Valen even more. She took a breath, and locked her eyes on his. [#E67E22 "Alright, I'll be yours"] she breathed out. The male smirked and nodded lightly. He then flew out the window, and Estella ran towards it.]]
[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 She watched as Valen killed Nathan. She let out a heart breaking sob, as Valen entered her room. [#E67E22 "You monster.."] she breathed out. The male just shook his head, and then started making it look like she killed herself. That's when he turned her into a creature of the night. The feeling of losing everything she loved, still burned inside of her chest as she followed the man out of her home, and away from her life for good...]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 The memory of the night she was turned reared it's ugly head, and it made the woman shutter lightly. She reached up and ran her finger's though her short hair. She wasn't in the mood to really deal with this right now. She had more important things to think about. Like work. She was going to be late. When she realized that, she flew out of bed and hurried to the bathroom to shower. She didn't have time for a long one, so she had to cut it down to ten minutes tops.]]
[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 When she was done, she wrapped herself into a towel and then hurried into her bedroom. She found some clean panties, and matching bra. She groaned lightly as she realized what color the bra was. It wasn't her normal black, but it was her light pink one. She looked towards her work uniform and growled lightly. [#E67E22 "Of course.."] she muttered lightly as she dried herself off and got dressed. She buttoned the button on her black slacks, and then did up her button down shirt. She looked at herself in the mirror and cocked her head slightly to the side.]]
[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 She looked alright, but she had a feeling she would be getting a lot of looks today. She then found her locket and put it around her neck. She had found a witch over a hundred years ago, and had her make it for her. It's so she could be among the humans in the daytime. She then applied a little bit of makeup, and was finally ready to go. She grabbed her flats from the bedroom floor, along with her apartment key. She grabbed her wallet last, and booked it out of her apartment.]]
[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 When she unlocked the Mercedes she loved, she slid behind the wheel and started it up. The sleek black car was backed out of her parking spot and headed into town. She looked at the clock and cussed under her breath. She was going to be at least a minute late. She didn't want that happening, but she didn't have much choice in the matter. That's what she deserved while she was daydreaming. She pulled out onto the busy street when it was clear, and headed towards the café she worked for. She turned the air off and rolled the windows down.]]
[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 She was kicking herself for thinking about Valen again. She had managed to escape from the male fifty years ago, and she'd been doing really well on her own. Being a monster wasn't all that bad, but she had to move every couple of years. She never changed, and it killed her. She had watched her little brother grow old and die. She was still pissed off with Valen for killing the man she really loved. She sighed lightly as she pulled into the cafe's parking lot. She shut the car off and climbed out.]]
[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 Shoes in hand, and she hurried into the back of the building. [b "You are late Stella!"] her boss called out. [#E67E22 "I know. I'm sorry. I was wrapped up in my thoughts again"] she called back as she clocked in. She dropped her shoes onto the floor and slid her feet into them. She then hurried and found the red headed woman. A small smile passed over her lips as she spotted her. [b "You do look nice though. Just remember to wear a white bra next time"] Scarlett teased. Estella stuck her tongue out.]]
[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 [#E67E22 "Oh shut up. This was all I had"] she said as she went out onto the floor. She spotted some customer's waiting for someone to take their orders. She grabbed her apron from behind the counter, and her notepad. She reached for her pen as well, and walked over to their table. [#E67E22 "I'm sorry for the wait, what can I get you guys to drink?"] she asked as she tied the apron around her waist. Some of her hair fell into her eyes, and she blew it out of her eyes.]]
[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 When the couple placed their drink order she gave them a couple more minutes alone. She went back to the counter and Amilia stopped her. [b "There's a male in the corner booth, and he won't let anyone else serve him. He wants you"] she said as she carried out a tray to another table. Estella sighed and looked towards the booth. As soon as she did, she froze. It was him. What was he doing here? She shook her head lightly as she moved over to his table. She stopped and looked down at him, her eyes blazing with anger.]]
[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 [#E67E22 "How did you find me?"] she hissed. She didn't know if anyone was watching, but she wanted to sink into the floor and vanish. She didn't want to deal with this, and yet here he was. He was still handsome, and she hated him for it. She stood there her pad in hand as she waited for him to speak.]]
[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 The sunlight hitting the woman's skin felt amazing. A small sigh passed though her lips as she titled her head back, and her eyes slowly drifted closed. Nathan looked over towards her and he cocked his head slightly to the side.

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 She was kicking herself for thinking about Valen again. She had managed to escape from the male fifty years ago, and she'd been doing really well on her own. Being a monster wasn't all that bad, but she had to move every couple of years. She never changed, and it killed her. She had watched her little brother grow old and die. She was still pissed off with Valen for killing the man she really loved. She sighed lightly as she pulled into the cafe's parking lot. She shut the car off and climbed out.]]
[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 Shoes in hand, and she hurried into the back of the building. [b "You are late Stella!"] her boss called out. [#E67E22 "I know. I'm sorry. I was wrapped up in my thoughts again"] she called back as she clocked in. She dropped her shoes onto the floor and slid her feet into them. She then hurried and found the red headed woman. A small smile passed over her lips as she spotted her. [b "You do look nice though. Just remember to wear a white bra next time"] Scarlett teased. Estella stuck her tongue out.]]
[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 [#E67E22 "Oh shut up. This was all I had"] she said as she went out onto the floor. She spotted some customer's waiting for someone to take their orders. She grabbed her apron from behind the counter, and her notepad. She reached for her pen as well, and walked over to their table. [#E67E22 "I'm sorry for the wait, what can I get you guys to drink?"] she asked as she tied the apron around her waist. Some of her hair fell into her eyes, and she blew it out of her eyes.]]
[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 When the couple placed their drink order she gave them a couple more minutes alone. She went back to the counter and Amilia stopped her. [b "There's a male in the corner booth, and he won't let anyone else serve him. He wants you"] she said as she carried out a tray to another table. Estella sighed and looked towards the booth. As soon as she did, she froze. It was him. What was he doing here? She shook her head lightly as she moved over to his table. She stopped and looked down at him, her eyes blazing with anger.]]
[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 [#E67E22 "How did you find me?"] she hissed. She didn't know if anyone was watching, but she wanted to sink into the floor and vanish. She didn't want to deal with this, and yet here he was. He was still handsome, and she hated him for it. She stood there her pad in hand as she waited for him to speak.]]

[+crimson [i noun]]
[center [i a corpse supposed, in European folklore, to leave its grave at night to drink the blood of the living by biting their necks with long pointed canine teeth.]]
One thing that always seemed to be a truth in Valen's life was the fact that he seemed to be cursed to a life of loneliness. Seemed fitting though considering that he was cursed. Cursed to stay frozen as life changed around him. Early on even cursed to stay in the dark- he later found there were ways around that problem. The other curses that came with vampirism he had to live with. There were friends that he had made slowly as the years passed- others with his condition, or other individuals with supernatural tendencies. That didn't satisfy his desire for a partner though.
[i The first time Valen thought he had found true love, he felt as if he were floating on air. All his thoughts were consumed with their image- waking and asleep. All he wanted was to be near to his love. What he had been unaware of what that his love did not feel the same for him. In fact he was just a pastime, a way to pass the time. A toy to play with until it was no longer shiny. Valen hadn't realized the danger he was in not until teeth had sunk into his neck and turned him into a monster.]
It felt natural to want someone in his life in that capacity but he found most people screamed when they found out his true identity. Plus no one had really stood out to him. Well no one except the one woman it seemed he couldn't have. She hated him with every fiber of her being, being her sire hadn't seemed to change that sentiment either. If anything she seemed more poisoned against him once he subjected her to the same life he had.
It had been just about 500 years since he changed her life. Sometimes when the night was silent he regretted the way that he reacted that night. But any semblance of patience that might exist within snapped when he saw her with that man. The man whose life he swiftly ended. And as it stood he was not a patient man. Not to mention he was anxious to have a mate, he wasn't about to let her slip through his grasp. His best friend had joked that he could have used more tact in the situation.
Now he sat wedged in the corner of a small diner. Fully aware of the eyes that were on him from people of all genders- he quite liked the attention too. He chuckled darkly to himself as he fidgeted with a ring that always rested on his right hand- a ring that allowed him to be out right now without feeling intensely ill. [+crimson "I missed you too,"] his voice only loud enough for her to hear him. His eyes flicked over to her as he appraised her. [+crimson "You think you would have learned by now that I will always find you. After all you have been, in a way, mine for hundreds of years,"] he mused entertained by the situation.
[+crimson "Get dressed in the dark, dear?"] he asked smirking at her before looking back at the menu. Creatures like them didn't need this sort of subsistence to survive. In fact too much of it often made him feel ill but as the years had passed he had sort of developed a tolerance to eat some. [+crimson "We still need to talk- after you are done with work of course-"] his voice was laced with a dangerous but teasing tone, [+crimson "For now I shall have a burger."]

The tone of her voice really hadn't surprised him. In no universe did he expect that she would see him and be overjoyed at the sight of him. He expected the disgust, the anger, and he had expected her to tell him to go away. It wasn't like he was oblivious to the fact that he ruined the life she had planned- in a way he felt bad about it. Not enough to be less off an asshole but he knew that it was a rage that had consumed him in the past that made him act the way he had. He'd at least like to think he would have better game now- that he would try to woe her instead of treat her exactly as his sire had treated him.
Valen's eyes narrowed as she stormed off deciding not to do anything more drastic. It wasn't long before a girl with pin straight blonde hair walked up to the table- Odette he figured. The woman looked at him flushing slightly as she spoke, [b "Hiya, what can I get you?"] Valen looked at her letting an award winning grin slip onto his face. He was well aware how charming he could be if he wanted to. Charisma usually came naturally to him- no one seemed to be really immune. Except for Estella. [+crimson "I'll just take a burger- medium rare,"] his voice smooth when he answered. Odette giggled slightly twirling a strand of hair around her finger. Once she confirmed the order she scurried off towards the kitchen.
It wasn't long before again the woman he was here to see was standing in front of him. This time, if possible, even more angry then when she was the first time she saw him in here. [+crimson "Your wish is my command,"] he said dramatically in response. [+crimson "Though if you fail to show up, I can promise I will be the opposite of out of your life for good,"] he said with a grin.
He reached into his pocket fishing out enough money for both the burger he ordered and a tip for the waitress. After he placed the money down on the table he promptly left the diner as if he was never there in the first place. Now that he had Estella's word that she would met up with him later he felt no reason to stay in the diner.
There wasn’t much he had to do in this town other than track down Stella so he spent the rest of the day just biding time. Was there any chance that she wouldn’t try to completely push him out of her life at the end of the day? It seemed like there would be very little reason that she would let him be around her- even if it was for her own good. To his knowledge there had never been a moment where she hadn’t hated him. Perhaps she would tell him to never seek her out again- though he had no plans of staying out of her life for good.
