Watkins-to-be”
I slowly opened my mouth, he placed the cube in my mouth. I closed my mouth too soon. My lips closing over his finger. He left his finger in my mouth, until I pulled my mouth back.
“Do I taste nice?” he asked chuckling.
I swallowed my cheese cube and replied “Very nice. What about me?”
I lifted my finger and he took it, and placed it into his mouth. It remained in there until I spotted the eyes that were watching us. I took my finger back and whispered “Well?”
“Far too tasty” he smirked.
I could keep myself from giggling, and letting my cheeks blush red.
One o’clock, the hunters were sent lose and the game started to pick up. Several vampires were taken on the way out of lunch – all of them Brad’s blue vampires – as they couldn’t convince the hunters to let them go. I quickly snatched them up and drew on three red lines in the opposite direction, a lot thicker that the blue, to show that they were the fresher ones. These particular students can’t be caught again. The hunters have already put their mark on them. I went around taking in a lot of new vampires. I saw a few go from red to Blue but not as many as were going blue to red. I was pretty sure we had more numbers to begin with, but now I was even more confident.
“I love this day” I smirked as Brad and I headed to the final count.
When we walked into the great hall, I was shocked by how many vampire students there was left. Mostly red – you didn’t need to do a count, the red was the clear winner. There was at least half the student population in the hall.
Sir Mallot, Jeff and Mistress Halsente were there.
“Well, as you can see. The red coven wins” Sir Mallot cheered.
The room erupted into applause. The rest of my red team were high-fiving each other. I turned to Brad and kissed him on the cheek saying “Sorry”
“Fair game. The best man – or woman – won” he replied kissing me fully on the lips.
I gave him my best sympathetic smile and then turned in time for a knock on the door. I was the closest royal to the door so I opened it. One of our guards bounded in, nearly knocking a few students over. Sir Mallot, Mistress Halsente, Jeff and I gathered around the guard instinctively .
“We have a visitor” he said almost breathless.
The visitor must be important in case he wouldn’t be out of breathe, but usually important visitors have arranged dates to show up. It is rude to show up without being invited. We weren’t meant to have a visitor, were we? Nobody had told me about it.
“Who?” I asked him.
“His name is Tony Harris. He’s the visit planner...” I couldn’t believe my ears. He was reacting so wildly for a visit planner. We had those visit all the time and we never had this sort of response. Who is the planner a visitor planner for, I wonder. He continued, answering my question “... For Sir Malice. The only current Vampire Prince. The prince wishes to arrange a visit.”
Everybody stood in hearing distance gasped, even Sir Mallot and Mistress Halsente. In all the years Sir Mallot had been a Wiccan Royal he had never heard of a Vampire Royal visiting a covert. It was rare, and only happened on special occasions, like a Vampire royal on a search for a King or Queen. It had been over a hundred years since the last Vampire visited a covert and it almost started a war. No matter what the Vampire Prince wants it could be risky. But as everybody knows we wouldn’t be able to refuse him a visit in case war would definitely break out.
“All students are to go either to their rooms or to the cafeteria” shouted Sir Mallot, his voice more stressed than usual. The colour had faded from all the faces in the room, that knew what the outcome could be of this visit.
“Charlie, quickly go and get that off your face, and change into your royal dress. Hazel and I will stall until you return” said Sir Mallot quietly to me.
I nodded and rushed out quickly followed by Brad.

CHAPTER FOUR
THE EVENT PLANNER
I rushed about my room fetching the different royals things; my royal dress, my royal shoes, my royal necklace. I couldn’t tell I was shaking until I stopped to put the necklace around my neck. Brad came up to my and took the necklace out of my fingers and fastened it up himself.
“Calm down. Everything will be alright” he whispered.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t even know Vampires existed for real until a few weeks ago and now one appears at our covert and I have to meet him. What if he’s hungry and decides he wants a snack?” I asked, my breathing raged.
“What’s going on?” Geska asked rushing through the door.
“I’ll explain to her. You’re going to be late. Good luck. And I am sure you’ll be fine” Brad whispered to me.
I leaned up and kissed him, and then legged it out of the door.
I ran all the way back to the grand hall doors. Just outside I took a deep breath and calmed myself down. I opened the doors and walked in as graceful as I could. The vampire was shockingly beautiful. He had long light blond hair – so light it looked almost white –, though he looked only twenty years old. His eyes sparkled a brilliant light blue colour. I stumbled a little as I looked into his eyes. I quickly regained my posture and walked to my chair on the right hand side of Sir Mallot.
“So this is the young Wiccan Royal. My Prince has been more than eager to meet you, ma’am” said the event planner.
“Urm... thank you. What is your name?” I asked.
Sir Mallot and Mistress Halsente looked at me dumbstruck. We never asked for the names of the event planners. Ever.
“Tony Harris, Ma’am. Event planner to Sir Malice, the Vampire Prince” he replied with a small bow. “And your name I believe is Miss Charlie Gyid”
All three of us sat up straight in our chairs. How did he know my name? I could understand them know of a very young Wiccan Royal or the host of the orb of power, but we had always tried to keep my actual name a secret for protection of those I used to care about back in England. How was it that the Vampire’s knew my name?
“I am sorry, I thought you knew that our sources are rich with information. My prince has been quite eager to meet you Miss Gyid. We have, of course, heard of your power, he also asked me to compliment you on your beauty” said Tom with a smile on his face.
“Urm... tell him thank you” I replied a little shocked by what had just been said, I could see Mistress Halsente and Sir Mallot were just as shocked.
“Urm... so, shall we arrange Sir Malice’s visit?” Asked Tom.
“Yes” replied Sir Mallot in rather a quiet voice.
“Sir Malice wishes for the visit to be as soon as possible” requested Tom “And his only other request is that Miss Gyid be present for the entire time”
“It is very rare that Charlie should leave the covert. She’ll be here no matter the date, bearing in mind her end of the year exams are in four weeks” spoke up Sir Mallot.
“The date?” Asked Tom shifting his weight from one foot to another, even though I was sure Vampires didn’t have to do that. Perhaps they do it to look less statue like, they could remain very still if they wanted to.
“Is three weeks from now soon enough?” Mistress Halsente asked.
“It would be by the time I get back, it’ll would only be two weeks then” replied Tom.
“Then we shall allow you to have talks with our event planner, Mr Button. He will arrange all the necessary arrangements. In fact, he should be waiting outside. Charlie will you go and let him in”
I followed Sir Mallot’s instructions and allowed Jeff entry to the hall. Jeff almost stood directly next to Tom but then decided not to and left quite a few feet between them. It was impossible to say that being so close to a vampire scared him.
“I would prefer making the arrangements with you, or at least with you present” demanded Tom.
“Very well, I shall remain and so will Hazel, however, Charlie has other things she needs to be doing” said Sir Mallot his voice full of authority.
I looked at him. What exactly was I supposed to be doing? I didn’t question, I decided it was better to just excuse myself. I stood, bowed to the other royals and said, “Then I shall take my leave” I had to start using royal manners when I became a royal, and I was almost an expert at them now. I started to walk towards the door when within seconds Tom was in front of me. I had to blink several times before it clicked that Vampires had super speed. He stared at me and then turned his eyes to Sir Mallot and said, “It was actually to Miss Charlie that I was addressing, Sir. Her other arrangements can surely wait. It will not take too long. I’m sure we will be in agreement for most things”
I turned to look at Sir Mallot also for instructions. He nodded at Tom and I. I walked back to my seat.
“Maybe I shall not take my leave” I mumbled to myself.
“Fine. Shall we start. So his arrival date will be three weeks from today. We will provide food – blood – as long as he resist from feeding off our own people. We shall for one evening, his first evening host a ball in celebration of comradeship between the Vampire and Wiccan race. After that, he may depart when he wishes” explained Sir Mallot.
“That is most grateful of you. The mention of the ball reminds me, my prince, would of course – for the ball – ask for a dance of the most beautiful woman in the covert.” Tom smiled at me.
“I can provide a beautiful girl, but you seem to be hinting towards Charlie. I must disappoint your Prince on that point. I am afraid Charlie is engaged and due to be married to a fellow Warlock” explained Sir Mallot. A smile appeared on my face at the thought of the upcoming wedding. But all of us couldn’t notice the sudden fear on Tom’s. Tom’s eyes had turned a dark black. Tom stood not speaking trying to compose himself for several minutes. He pulled on his clothes and cleared his throat. All of us watched as his eyes slowly returned to his light blue colour.
“Oh, that may be difficult” he finally managed to squeak “My prince was rather firm on that point”
Sir Mallot, Mistress Halsente and I shared a glance at each other.
“Will one or two dances suffice?” I asked.
“It could be a good starting place. I am afraid my prince will not be entirely pleased with this development” Tom said, his voice cold.
“Benjamin, may I be excused so I may discuss with Brad?” I asked him.
“I think that will be wise” Sir Mallot replied.
“I will return as quickly as possible” I said standing quickly and briskly walking to the door of the great hall.
I actually walked as slowly as possible, I wasn’t really looking forward to asking this humungous favour of Brad. This
