《Bound By Blood》Bound By Blood: 17. His Time
Advertisement
Today was the party. I woke up, ate breakfast, and laid down on my bed until it was time to get ready. I wasn't very excited to go but while laying on my bed and staring at my dress in front of me, my heart would race.
"I should get ready." I whisper to myself, tossing to my side and looking at the clock that's on the table.
6:30 PM
I groan annoyed while getting up and jumping in the shower. The party starts at 8:00 but I'm slow at getting ready. After drying from getting out of the shower and curling my hair with the curling iron Juliet brought from my house, I started to apply makeup. I put on dark eyeshadow and eye liner with red lipstick. After, I slip on my dress and I put on my black heels that Sonia gave me when we went dress shopping.
I pick up some of my hair and I put it into a bun, my curls hanging on the side of my face. I look at myself in the mirror and I sigh, ready to leave for the party.
I ask a servant where the party will be and it's near the poolroom. I walk there and two butlers are standing next to two closed doors. Behind the doors, into the room, I hear music and people talking. Did I come late?
"You're late." A deep familiar voice says behind me as I jump in fright. I turn around and Xavier is towering over me. I look down at him and I realized that I was staring for too long. He was wearing a black and white tux with a black bowtie which was so cute on him. His hair was gelled to the side but one part hung down to his forehead.

"B-but I thought it started at eight o'clock?"
"Nope it started at seven-thirty, my arrival to my party starts at eight o'clock." My cheeks become red in embarrassment while a smirk forms on his lips. "Well, you do look stunning in that dress so here." He sticks out his arm and I gladly take it, wrapping mine around his.The butlers open the doors and we step out to the scene. I gasp at the crowd while the music slowly stops and everyone turns their heads to us. The King and Queen saw me and they give me a bright smile.
"I would like to thank everyone who came here to celebrate my birthday with me. Let it begin." Xavier says and the music starts again with voices of laughter and talking. Servants walked around, serving drinks while people gladly took. Others watched me, stared while whispering into each other's ear. I turn to my right but Xavier isn't by my side and I'm alone in a room full of vampires.
"You look beautiful, Diana." Alexander whispers in my ear and I let out a shy laugh. I look to face him and he gives me a toothy smile, his fangs bare. I furrow my eyebrows in confusion and I look around the other vampires. I looked at their faces and their fangs were out too. "Don't worry, we won't bite." His brings his head down to my ear and I flinch back frightened.
"Why are all of your fangs out?" I ask him and he grins.
"To show who we truly are except hiding them. We are Royal, we have to be proud of what we are." I nod, understanding what he means while Juliet runs up to me, engulfing me into a hug.

"Ugh, you and Xavier looked gorgeous walking inside together." I take a step back, almost losing balance from standing on heels.
"Hold up, you lied to me. You said it started at eight o'clock." She covers her mouth from suppressing a giggle.
"Oops, my bad."
"You knew I was going to bump into Xavier!" I shout over the music and voices while she smiles.
"But it was worth it."
"I hate you."
"Love you too, sis. Listen, all the Royal girls are talking trash about you, that's how beautiful you look, they are jealous! Don't make me tell you about what the boys are saying." She gives me a sexy wink while moving her hips around to the music and I can't help it but choke out a laugh. She was wearing dark make-up too and she has such smooth creamy skin that goes with her dark red dress. I was kind of 'friend jealous' of her because of how pretty she looked.
"Diana?" I turn around and my mouth drops agape at who is in front of me.
Dylan from school.
"Wow, I wouldn't think you'd be here." I say to him while he looks up and down at me.
"Same, are you staying here at the mansion? That's why you haven't showed up to school for so long?"
"Yeah but it wasn't my decision to come, I was forced. It's not that bad either."
"Funny how it's coming out from a human who despises vampires. Your friend Madison is upset that you aren't home anymore." I nod in agreement as I realize that I totally forgot about Madison. I'm such a horrible best friend but then I realize again that he looks very good looking in a tux.
"So why are you here?"
"Oh, my father works with the King and I used to hang out with Xavier way back when we were children." I nod while Dylan spoke but then he looks around the room. "But my question is, why are you here?" I kind of froze because I didn't know what to say. I felt like I couldn't breath and my dress was way too tight.
"Um, well, I don't know. They just wanted me to stay with them for a while so I just said 'well, staying in a really nice house with free food? Why not.'" Dylan joins me with a laugh but than he becomes serious like he's ready to kill me. I furrow my eyebrows and he looks around the room than grabs my arm tightly. A wince escapes my mouth while he pulls me to him.
"Don't lie, Diana. I know why you are here and if you weren't the human, I'd like you but now you just created an enemy... and I'm not your only enemy." I open my mouth to argue but he spins me around and when I stop from my dizziness, he isn't around.
~AHHH!!!!
