Vampiress by Destiny B. Rose (epub e reader .TXT) 📖

I wanted you to be late and realize it so you would come down here to see me. You didn't really think it was 8:00 did you?" Rose glanced at the clock, 5:30 a.m. "You mean you woke me up at 5:00 in the morning just so i would come and see you!?" "Precisly." Mrs. Dawndear said putting her frappachino down. "Now lets see those teeth." She said coming toward her. "NO! What are you doing!?" She screamed as she pushed Mrs. Dawndear away. "Fiesty, but dehydrated you need liquids." "Ive got water thanks." She replied. "Ah, but thats not going to keep you going today." Mrs.Dawndear smiled. "Excuse me?" Rose asked with a scared look in her eyes. "You need fresh blood to keep you going all day today." "What?! Your crazy!" Rose sped to the door but it closed and Mrs. Dawndear was standing in front of it. "Wha.. How did you get there so fast? Who? What are you!?" She backed away slowly as Mrs.Dawndear walked toward her. "Humf, your fangs already grew in, empressive." She said. "What? What are you talking about?" "Im talking about your traits! Your a Vampire!" She froze, couldnt move. Wanted to scream as loud as she could but just couldnt. "What?", She said as she caught her breath. "I cant be a..a vampire." "Vampiress, to be exact. Have you been experiencing some changes, Rose?" Said Mrs.Dawndear. "Um, Mrs. Dawndear?" "Oh please, call me Moon." She interrupted. "Um, Okay... Moon, what makes you think im a vampiress?" Rose asked. "Oh, dear. I've known since you were a baby." Moon answered. Rose was stunned. Did her parents know? Her whole family? "Who else knows?" "Just me." Said Moon. "Well why did you make me like this? Did you use magic or something? Make my parents drink a potion?" exclaimed Rose. "Haha!" Moon laughed. "Im afraid thats not how this works. You see we have a sixth sense about newborn vampires. If a baby is born who is a vampire we know about it instantly, of course they pick a guardian for the child. Which, would be me." "You, your a.. vampire too?" Rose said shocked. "Well of course, what did you think I was a werewolf? Haha." Moon exclaimed. Rose didnt answer. "Now lets get you going." "What? Where?" Rose asked. "To school of course, silly. I want to see how much control you have." Moon smiled. Not a sweet smile, one of those devious, evil smiles.

Chapter 4: Forbidden Love

"Rose, you okay?" April called from down the hall. "Youve been quiet all day." Rose was about to answer when April shoved her against the wall. She interrupted her agian while pointing down the hall. Just a few feet away Ashton and Scott were staring at them. "What are they doing?" Rose asked. "Trying to scare us?" "I dunno." April replied. "Common." April started dragging her to the opposite side of the hall where they walked slightly towards the two boys. "Rose! Wait up!" Ashton called. "Ashton? What do you want? Not that I dont want you here or anything its just..." Rose stopped speaking. "Do you wanna, maybe, go out with me?" Ashton asked. "Really?" Rose answered. "Sure!" Ashton smiled and started walking away and called over his shoulder, "Text me!" Rose turned to April saying, "Best. Day. Ever." April smiled and turned. "Comon slow poke. We're gonna be late."

After school, Rose jumped off her bus and ran to the door, excited to tell her mom all about what happened. "Hello, my dear." Moon said turning around from where she sat at the kitchen bar. "Moon!" Rose said, startled. "Darling, you're so pale. Have you not ate at all?!" Moon exclaimed. "Of course I ate. Food." "What kind of food?" Moon asked. "HUMAN food. Like all NORMAL people do." Rose spat back. "You really are denying what and who you are, aren't you?" Moon said. "I'm not denying anything." said Rose. Could it be true? Could she really be a Vampiress? "Come on." Moon said, grabbing Roses' arm and pulling her outside. "What!? Let GO of me!" She screamed. "You cannot deny who and what you are any longer, Rose!" Moon screamed back. "Rose?" Rose shot her head back only to see, Ashton. "Ashton?" Rose said. "Is everything okay?" He asked. "Oh, no. Everything's just fine, little boy." Moon replied. "I was...coming to see if you wanted to come to a movie tonight..." Ashton said. "Oh! Well, yeah, sure." Rose replied. "NO! No,no,no,no. She must come with me." Moon said, pushing Rose in the other direction. "Hey! Watch it!" Rose said. "If it's a bad time, we can do a movie this weekend." He said, with his big, brown, perfect eyes. "Yeah, yeah. Umm. Yeah, that's fine. This weekend." Rose said. "Great." Ashton said, walking away. "Good looking boy. Too bad you'll never be with him." Moon said as she pulled Rose to her the car.

"Why's that?" Rose asked. "Because, darling. You're a Vampiress and he's a human. It simply doesn't work..." Moon replied pulling out of the driveway. She looked over her shoulder att Roses dissapointed face. "I'm sorry. I realize you want to be a normal teenager, but let's face it. The truth is was it is, and, as a matter of fact, my dear, love bites."

Chapter 5: The Rowan Clan

"But Moon, I dont know anything about hunting...." Rose called after Moon, gliding down the trail to the Spinning Pond at the end of the south woods at Jackson Park. "Moon! Wait! Do I REALLY have to hunt like this????? Couldn't I just eat some raw meat or somethng?" "Are you crazy!?" Moon exclaimed. "You're not a lion, you're a Vam.." "A Vampiress. I know, I know." Rose said, cutting Moon off in mid-sentence. Rose and Moon walked about a half hour longer searching up, down and around for any type of animal with more than a liter of blood in them. "Moon, look. I'm tired, I'm hungry, and I wanna go home. We haven't even seen more than two squirrels." Rose gasped. "Moon common we gotta.." "SHH!" Moon said, interrupting Rose. "What? What is it?" Rose asked. "Shhhhhhh!!!" Moon practically squealed.

Moons sharp ears pricked up and she sniffed the air. Her eyes became black as night as she growled under her breath, "The Rowan Clan.." Rose looked more concerned than scared as Moon whipped around and grasped her hand. "Run." Was all Moon said as she took off in the woods ahead of Rose. "Moon! Wait! I can't run as fast as you!" *Crunch* Rose stopped dead in her tracks. *Crunch* She turned slowly as she heard a low, raspy chuckle. "Ah, Miss. Rosalina. It's been so long. Haven't you had anything to eat?" A man with jet black hair and red ruby eyes asked. "N-n-no sir.." Rose stuttered. "I-i seem to have l-lost my mother.. I-i'm sorry to have b-bothered you.." Rose turned suddenly and tried to flee but bumped into a massive, bulky man with tattoos and very, very, very big fangs. She gulped. "Now, now. Where do you think you're going?" The man with the black hair asked. "You wouldn't be trying to run away now would you? Silly girl. So weak, so vile. Beautiful, though. I might let you keep her as your own, Bilks." The man said as he gestured to the big one with the tattoos.

"What do you want with me?" Rose sqeaked. "You have no buisness taunting me or keeping me here. Now, if you let me go peacefully I won't tell the police." The man with the black hair eyeballed her and said, "Little girl, do you know who I am?" Rose shook her head. "Why, I'm Riquel Rown, at your service. Or, should I say for you to be at MY service." He said, giving that low, raspy chuckle agian. "I know what you are, Rose. And so does Bilks, and Siara here. But, don't worry. We're the same kind as you are. Only trained and well-kept." Riquel said as he looked Rose up and down. "Now Rosalina.." "It's Rose." She interrupted. "Rose. We need your help." Riquel said. "Why would you need my help? You seem perfectly capable with your being trained and well-kept." She snapped. Bilks stepped forward as if to do something about her parcial insult. "Now, Bilks. She is just a child. Wouldn't want to harm an innocent 13-year-old now would we, err, Rose?" Riquel spat back hesitating before saying her name. He turned to console with Bilks and Siara.

Right once she saw him turn Rose bolted. Through the trees and brush, past the sticker bushes and sticky spiderwebs until, finally she made it to a clearing. And there, she saw the most magnificent creature ever. It was Ashton.

Chapter 6: Broken Hearts, Broken Love

"Ashton?" Rose exclaimed half relieved, half suspicious. He turned with a sad look in his eyes. Rose walked up to him and sat down where he rested. "Ash? What's wrong?" She asked him. "I can't." "You can't what?" Rose asked. "I can't be with you. Not now, not ever. I'm sorry." He got up and started across the clearing. "What? So that's it?! Is this about Scott!? He's a loser! I shouldn't have ever been with him in the first place. You're the one I want to be with! You can't walk out on me like this!" Rose screamed as tears streamed down her cheeks. "I'm sorry." He said under his breath, still turned away from her. "I never wanted to hurt you." She couldn't take anymore she ran through the woods to the
