The Funeral
Evilyn she is my proof-reader and assistant.
13.The Funeral
I got dressed and said my goodbyes to Count Grey and Caen.Then i went to find Will so that i could say goodbye.I went to the bed room and saw him sitting there,so still and firm.
"I guess this is Goodbye Will",is what i said-then i felt tears welling up inside me.I couldn't control them and i started crying.He got up and hugged me,saying that he would come to me if i couldn't come to him.I made his shirt so wet that he started laughing,he then kissed me on the cheek and disappeared.
"Quick Cassandra were are going to be late".
"Coming",i wiped away all those tears and i went back home with Caen".
"Are you ok?",Caen asked.
"Yeah i am".he held my hand so that we didn't look distant to my father.I felt Caen's warmth and longed for Will's-i unconsciously pulled my hand away from him.
"We have arrived",Caen said now sounding angry.I quietly got down and walked swiftly to my fathers room and i knocked on the door.
"Yes,come in".
"Father,i am sorry about mother!",i screamed.
"I know child you couldn't bare to see your mother dieing so you ran away from home",i was surprised when heard this-he had taken it the wrong way but i was willing to except it and so i acted as if it was true.
"Yes,it was hard and father i have something else i have to tell you".
"It can wait-now you have to meet someone important,who is also one of husband candidates".
To my surprise Will walked into the room.
"Hey Cass,sorry i didn't tell you".
"Have you met?"
"Yes,we have in fact Carson introduced us".
"Yes he did-but how can you be one of the candidates?",i was so surprised.
"Well,my family helped your father in the olden days and so he proposed this to us but i am supposed to beat Carson in order to get you".
"I...I..don't know what to say!".
"Oh and by the way Baron Vacent i have fallen in love with her and i think she has to".
"Wait,how do i know whether this is all part of your plan?",i said.
"Hold on,i was with you for 2 weeks and that is how i got to know you".
"Really?you were in the Counts house for 2 weeks?".
"Yes Baron well i sneaked in to see her,i mean to see the girl i was willing to beat Carson for".
"I AM NOT SOME PRIZE TO BE WON!I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU PLAYED WITH MY FEELINGS!".
I screamed so loud Mrs.Croff came running in to see what had happened.I ran to my room crying and locked the door,so that they couldn't come in.
"Cassandra open the door this instance!",father screamed.I ignored them and continued crying.
I ran to the balcony so that the wind could sooth me a little.Suddenly he showed up.
"Cass i really fell in love with you!",Will said in a soft and sad voice.
"Then why didn't you tell me?"i said.I didn't here a response so i lifted my head to search for him.
"You know you look and sound so sensual",he said now sitting on my bed.I went to him and hugged him while crying.
"Don't ever do anything like that ever again",i said.
"You know i might attack you if you continue looking like that",he said laughing.
"But this is what i normally wear".
"Its a bit transparent Cass",he said holding me tighter.
"But...i can't see trough it!".
"Oh i forgot my eye sight is 5 times better than a humans",he said laughing.
I tried to push him away but he held me tighter and i was almost suffocating.Then he suddenly kissed me on the lips so hard that i couldn't see clearly after he had stopped.
"That's for tomorrows funeral-i don't want to see you ever cry again i am sorry if i was too harsh".
"You..........i will get you for this",i said dizzily.
"If you can little girl,oh and i wanted to tell because my father was human i age like a normal person and i become more human after i have fed".
"Oh,why are you telling me this?".
"So that when you marry me you wouldn't have to worry about all this",he said grinning.I didn't really know what he meant but i just played along.
"Well i don't want to let you go but i have to since your father is coming!".
"What how do you know?".
"Super hearing!",he said smiling.
"Cassandra open the door i have to tell you the rules and regulations now",i opened the door and said "What".
"Since William will be staying here i have to tell you the rules and regulations i have prepared".

The Anger And Rage
12.The Anger And Rage
I stood still so that he would walk away thinking he had made a mistake.It had been about 10mins,i wanted to see what was going on-the moment i moved,he was right in front of me.He was glaring at me.
"Why did you go to see father?",i demanded.
"Because Cassandra it was an emergency".
"What was it about?".
"I am sorry to say this Cassandra.................your mother died".
".........................",so many emotions were going through my head i could barely stand.
"It's ok we knew that this day would come."he hugged me tightly saying that.
I walked away from him went to a dark corner in the room,and just sat there thinking about what i had just heard.I fell asleep crying,ignoring the pain in my stomach-suddenly i heard the window open.I immediately woke up and gazed out the open window,then Will appeared out of nowhere-his eyes bright red.
"Cassandra i am so hungry",he collapsed saying that,i moved over to him.
"Why didn't you feed?".
"I can't-not after my mate has appeared",he said almost screaming.I quietly bent over and said
"Feed",He resisted for a while and then i felt his cool breath on my neck-then i felt his teeth sink into my skin and the pain was only bearable.He then pushed me away after 5 minutes and said
"Enough!",i felt dizzy and fell on his lap crying.
NEXT MORNING
I woke up at about half past 8 and felt really hungry and tired.
"Are you ok?"someone asked from the balcony.
"I think so but i feel so dizzy".
"You should rest some more 8 hours is not enough to restore your energy",Will sat on the bed with his shirt unbuttoned.It looked like he had just woken up.
"I am so sorry,i was attacked by someone and i used too much energy to heal-and i haven't fed in almost 2 and a half weeks".
"I understand,you took away all the sadness in me with the blood you needed".
"I have some bad news,i have to feed on you every week,and i heard about your mother-i am truly sorry to have attacked you when you were so vulnerable".
"Its fine i let you on my own accord".
"I love you so much",i blushed as i heard him say that while touching my face-his eyes soft and gentle.
"You look like a real human now,i can never get used to your breath-taking face".
"Glad you feel the same way Cass",he said so happily.
"How do you know that?i could have just complimented you in a normal way".
"Maybe,but i know you better than anyone-because i have read your entire past".
"I give up you're just impossible to resist".
"You taste and smell so sweet and so delicious,i should IRRESISTALBE".
"I wonder why i became your mate and not someone else better than me".
"You see i have another theory,the reason why vampires have mates is because they have to produce a more stronger vampire-and thats my theory".
"I am speechless....................but since my best friend has transformed in front of me,i believe all this".
"Well i am happy that you like me so much!",he said grinning-i naturally blushed.
All of a sudden Caen came running.
"Cassandra your mothers funeral is tomorrow".
"WHAT!!!!!!".
"Yeah,Grandfather insists that you go home immediately".
"Yes of course if everyone orders me to do so".
"Don't worry Cass we will meet after your mothers funeral",Will said.
"Promise?!".
"Of course darling,don't worry i will miss you just as much",he said winking at me.
I naturally ignored everyone and chased Caen out of the room to get dressed.
"THIS IS WHERE THE STORY REALLY BEGINS!"

A Surprise Visit
11.A Surprise Visit
"No,i am a pure vampire,you see in the vampire world as i call it.If one of our parents are vampires that means their first and last child will be a vampire,there are some cases where a child is second in the family might be half vampire.
"Oh,do you sleep in a coffin at home?Do you die when you are under the sun?".My mind was going wild asking so many questions and getting remarkable answers.
"hehehehe ..........sorry.I don't sleep in a coffin i prefer king sized beds.And i don't die under the sun,i simply get tired that's all.
"I am amazed,by your beauty,your dark gift and your past".
"I can see that in your eyes,anyway its getting a bit hard to suppress my hunger.What shall i do-i can't leave the house in the afternoon."
"(walks towards Cassandra with a smiling face)
"(she moves back)"
".........................."
"I think someone is at the front door!",that was close.
I went to the front door to see who it really was.When i opened the door to my surprise Count Grey (Caen's grandfather)was here.
"Count Grey!".
"Cassandra!i see that you have agreed to become Caen's wife,that's wonderful".
"No,i haven't but i had some problems at home so i came to stay here".
"That's a pity,but i know you will turn around some how".
"Hey Cass why are you taking so long?"
"Umm......i am coming".
"Please come in Count Grey,Caen has just gone out-i think he will return soon".
"Yes,well i will be in my room now,please call me when dinner is ready."
"Yes Count Grey".
"Whew.....that was close!you idiot why did you do that?"
"Do what".
"Call me when i was in the presence of Count Grey?!"
"Oh is he here?well that's going to be a problem".
"Why?"
"Well you see because the Grey's and the Cresent's have been enemies for a long time".
"Oh i get it,so your not supposed to be here".
"Yeah,it's going to get harder now that he is here".
"Does Caen know about this?"
"Yes he does,but i have to tell you something-and its urgent."
"Ok what is it?"
"I can't tell you here because walls have ears here,i will tell you at night-for now i have to go and hide".
"(Will suddenly disappears)"
He was gone.Just like that in a flash.What in the world is he not telling me.I felt tired so i went to the room which seemed like our(Will,Caen and Cass) room.On my way to our room,i heard voices from Count Grey's room.I couldn't help but eavesdrop on his conversation with someone familiar.
"Come back so soon Carson?"
"Yes,grandfather i had to visit Cassandra's father because she ran away from home and refuse to go back."
"May i know what the outcome of the visit was?",he said in a stern voice.
"Cassandra is to stay with me until she agrees to this engagement,is what i was told".
"What about the Cresent's?haven't they made a move on this situation yet?"
"No grandfather they haven't,now if you would excuse me i will take my leave now".
"Yes very well,but bare in mind that you have to exterminate whoever gets in your way."
"Yes grandfather".
I started to panic and then i ran into the closest room.Then i heard Caen heading for the kitchen,and so i ran as fast as i could to grab his arm and act as if nothing had happened.But,just as i was ready to do so-he turned and stopped then he said
"I know your there,its not polite to eavesdrop Cassandra".

Good Old Times
10.Good Old Times
When i was vomiting,i felt warm hands helping me-pushing my hair back,wiping the sweat of my forehead.Caen was always there for me,i remember the first time i met him-i was vomiting and no one seemed to have noticed me because Count Grey came to visit.I felt terrible being neglected when i was suffering,then this boy showed up in front of me-he was about 12 years of age."Excuse me,are you alright?",was all i heard him say-he quickly pushed my hair back,wiped my forehead with his shirt and he kept patting me on the back.When i start vomiting,it usually takes a bout a day for me to stop.I finally stopped after 2 hours of vomiting,what had i eaten? i just laid there unable to move an inch.He kept on patting my back saying "Its going to be fine",listening to him saying comforting words-i fell asleep.And i woke up at the dead of night.
Caen smiled when i woke up and he had apples in his hands.I smiled weakly and took one little bite,it was good-even a bug would taste good after what i had been through,but unfortunately this torture wasn't over yet.The worst was yet to come,Caen thought i had finished-and took me to his room to rest on the bed.I wanted to tell him that it wasn't over yet but i had no energy to say it-Will was still sleeping,he put me down and said"sleep well".I did sleep for a while but then i felt the sensation again-and quickly touched Will's back,he immediately got up and took me to the toilet."There,there its going to be over soon,Cassandra",he whispered into my ear.
NEXT DAY
I had fully recovered,i was so hungry i could eat a horse.I went down to the kitchen to eat,then i heard someone singing while cooking-the song sounded like a lullaby.I stopped and quietly peeked to see who it was,to my surprise Will was cooking!i didn't know vampires could eat?!then i took a step forward,and i then heard him say
"Are you hungry?i made you something".
"How did you know i was there?",i said running to sit at the dining table.
"Well most vampires are very sensitive,its something which you have to feel in order to understand-i can't exactly explain it".
"Thats ok as long as i get to eat,oh and where is Caen?"
"He went to explain things to your father and he said he would be late",i nodded while choking down some thing which looked like chicken".
"DELICIOUS,have you cooked before?"i said eating some more.
"No,i just saw a cook book lying around,and i tried a recipe",he said grinning.
"Wow,what is this?"
"It's a secret!"he said now trying to laugh.
I asked him for another helping,and he immediately made more than i asked for.We talked and laughed,while i was eating-after i had enough,we started talking seriously about each others life's.
"Do you have any siblings?",i asked.
"No,but i do have a step brother he is about 5 years old".
"I was wondering won't your parents worry about you staying here?".
"My father knows and my mother abandoned me when i was a new born.She was a noble vampire with no desire of having children,she has her pride in being a single vampire-to care for no one.I was just a mistake she made,my father on the other hand loved me because i was just like his mistress.
"I am so sorry to hear about your past".
"It's ok,it actually feels good to let everything out".
"Does that mean that your half vampire?"

The Wake Up Call
9.The Wake Up Call
"What happened?",Caen asked.
"Its nothing shes just upset that you fell asleep next to her,and somehow i also fell asleep next to her".
"Well thank you,i also wanted to throw you out of the room-but i will spare you this once".
"Well,i am going to have a bath,hey you parasite-don't try anything funny!"
"I wont,before i go to sleep i want to share something with you Cass!"
"What is it,another stupid joke?"
"No- i just wanted to say that i was the one who took care of you when you were vomiting".
"Oh!how long was i out for?"
"About an hour".
"That's all!"
"Yeah,anyway good night".
"Let me do something for you in return,you can ask for anything".
"Can you sit next to me while i am sleeping?"
"Sure,but for how long?"
"For about 3 hours."
"Very well then,sweet dreams".
He was knocked out right after the first half hour past.After being so close to him,i was actually able to see all his features more clearly.His face was so beautiful that it began to scare me,i haven't heard or seen of something this beautiful before.I touched his hair and it felt just like pure silk,he was pale but after feeding he would have a pink tone on his skin,his lips were pinkish red.I wanted to see his eyes,as i unconsciously tried to wake him up-he opened his eyes and it was so beautiful up close,they were brown but they also had their fair share of red in them.Then i suddenly noticed that he was awake.
"Sorry did i wake you?"
"I was awake this whole time",he grinned.
"What,and you saw me starting at you like an idiot?!"
"Yeap,you also look stunning yourself,but it wasn't nice-looking at you vomiting your guts out".
"................ i am going ot take a bath now".
"Don't take too long".
What was i doing!i am such an idiot.Anyway i don't remember a single thing from yesterday night.And Caen fell asleep when i started vomiting,come to think of it i still feel a bit dizzy-i think its because i didn't get enough sleep.
"Hey are you ok?please don't tell me you feel sick again".
"Caen take me to the toilet now!".
"We are here".
"That was fast now move!".

The Vampire
8.The Vampire
"Why are you people being so noisy?!"
"We have to tell you something Cass".
"Wait,why are you being so familiar with her!you barley know her!".
"At least i am not a stuck up snob like you!"
"QUIET!!!!"
"What is it that i should know about?"
"Well,to a vampire there can only be one mate".
"Yes,and what might you be suggesting?"
"If a human smells good to a vampire,it means that person is his or her mate".
"And why are you telling me this?".
"Well because you smell really good to me,and so my theory is that you are my mate".
"WHAT!!!"
"Don't worry its just a theory Cassandra,that carnivore is just trying to tease you that's all".
"As a matter of fact,i would do that but i am sorry its true".
"Fine,let it be true i am going to die a lone anyway-might as well kill me now!"
"Actually your right i can kill you since you smell so good,do you want to know what you smell like?"
"What?"
"CHICKEN........hahahahahahahaha..........i am sorry no actually you smell like roses under the full moon".
"Well this chicken is off to bed,GOODNIGHT!"
"She took that quite well don't you think?"
"Yeah,especially when you called her a chicken Duke William Cresent! or should i say Corpse Lily!"
"Make fun all you want,wet dog".
"Anyway i am going to play with my new friend,so long mans best friend".
I had enough on my shoulders for now,maybe i should go home-but either way i will have to marry Caen.Maybe i should run away but that's going to be tough, with a dog here and all.My head was starting to hurt just as i went into the room,then i noticed that man here again!
"What do you want Duke?"
"Please Will is fine."
"Very well,what can i do for you will?"
"I am going to be staying here with you till you acknowledge my love for you".
"But how is that possible you barley know me!"
"My i tell you what i know?"
"Yes,please do".
"Cassandra Vacent,16 years of age,5.4 feet tall,51 kilograms,blue eyes with a tint of green,likes caviar,wants to be a writer but forced to be a historian for the sake of her father's will.should i continue?"
"How do you know all this?"
"Well i just looked at you,you see some vampires have dark gifts such as:read minds,super strength,shape shift and many more.My gift is to know peoples past just by looking at them."
"Could you tell me all this tomorrow cause i feel light headed again".
I fell asleep but before i did i vomited and collapsed yet again,must have been food.I heard lots of shouting and laughing when i was asleep and i felt really hot too.When i woke up i saw Will sleeping next to me on the right side,and Caen sleeping next to me on the left side!I screamed as loud as i could and both of them woke up alarmed.

The Will's
7.The Will's
Caen slept through the whole day,while i was just looking out the window,daydreaming.When the sun was about to set,he got up and went to the kitchen.So i followed him,i was just having a snack before dinner-while he was having all 4 meals.
"Why haven't i seen you eat so much before?"
"Well because its not polite to eat like this in front of others".
"Aren't i considered as others?"
"Now your not since your going to see this for the rest of your life".
"What if i don't want to?"
"Well you have to since its stated in the will that,you shall only inherit this fortune when you marry Count Carson Grey,and become a historian at the age of 18."
"How come i never heard anything of the sort?!"
"I am telling you now,so please do it for your families sake-even if you don't fancy me".
"I will think about it but i am still staying here!"
"Fine,as long as i can see you thats acceptable"
"Well,i have had enough-i am going to bed now".
"What!but you only ate birds feed,come i will feed you".
"No thank you,if i let you i don't think i will ever be eating again".
"Ok,i will be there,just as soon as i am done with dinner".
I wanted a moment alone,so i could think about the will.Suddenly i felt light headed so i ran to the nearest room,but just before i could open the door-i fell.I thought someone had caught me but i was unconscious just as the person caught me.I woke up after an hour i think,then i saw someone sitting by the window-staring into the night.
"Is that you Caen?"
"Please rest!you don't have enough sugar in your blood".
"Who are you and how do you know that?"
"Excuse me for the late introduction i am William Cresent,and you must be Cassandra Vacent?"
"Yes i am,wait are you the person with the crimson eyes?"
"Yes thats right,but thats only when i am hungry"he chuckled
(Caen comes bursting into the room)
"What did you do to her!"
"Nothing,she fainted so i carried her to your room thats all".
"Are you alright?he didn't hurt you or anything right?".
"No,i am fine".
"Good".he whispered in my ear"this is the man who is the vampire".
"What",i said loudly.
"Why did you tell her you stupid K-9,i wanted to tell her!".
"Don't be a baby you cannibal".
"Hey,i am only interested in animal blood".
"Yeah but you have thought about killing people haven't you".
"Just a passing thought,anyway she smells so good i couldn't just forget her".
"What!wait you know what this means right?"
"Of course shes the one!i finally found her"
"But shes my fiancee!"
"So what?"
I gave up understanding their conversation,and got to my feet.I was surprised that they ignored me,and so i felt like smelling the flowers in the garden-so i went out into the garden and sat on a little bench.Admiring the full moon,wondering how my family was without me.Then the 2 of them came storming into the garden.My peace was disrupted,and that was the last straw-i pulled in as much air as i could into my lungs and screamed"QUIET!!!!!!!!!!!!".
The Truth
6.The Truth
How did he become so clean?Why is he here?Who was that person?So many questions were running through my head at the same time!But then suddenly he started to move around,i waited till he woke up.It took about 10 minutes,then he opened his eyes and froze for a moment.
"Cassandra.....?"
"Hey are you ok?you were really hurt,but i don't see any blood on you!"
"Wait,let me recall things back.Cause i think something hit my head really hard!(rubs his head)"
"Ok,please continue."
"Well i came running after you cause you took too long,then i saw you creeping out into the garden so i followed you but then-then i saw that idiot coming for you so i threw myself over him and then he hit me on the head!"
"Who is the idiot you are referring to?"I asked hoping that he would not notice that i ran away.
"William Cresent".
"Who is that?"
"Don't think that i didn't know you ran away Ms.Vacent!"
"I am not going home anymore and i don't care what you say Old man Grey!"
"You little fox.....fine i wont take you home but you have to come and stay in my house!"
"Why,i want to run away!Not to have a slumber party."
"I would have to kill you if you don't come with me(has a very serious face at the moment)".
"Will you explain things to me after you have changed?"
"Maybe,if i am in the mood".
"(she hits his arm hard)"
"Alright!you old goat.......hehehe".
We reached the Grey's mansion in just 5 minutes,i was running my heart out while he was jogging-and he didn't even break a sweat while i was sweating like a pig!So i had a bath as well and he bought me some clothes.By the time i came out he was on the bed playing with a ball which was really familiar,i just remembered that his parents gave me that ball for my birthday.His parents died when he was 16,i miss them-they were very lenient and nice people.I went and sat next to him,he then took my arm and put it over his eyes.Then i wondered why my hand was wet,it was because he was crying.
"Don't cry little girl",i told him.
"I am not,i just got some dust in eyes"he protested.
"Yeah,yeah right".
"Do you want to know where the blood on me went?
"Oh yeah,how did you do that?"
"When i went to Transylvania to study law,i was attacked by a werewolf."
"What?! stop playing around old man."
"I am not,anyway it hurt me with its claw-and the the next thing i knew was that i had become a werewolf,and i can heal myself by just falling asleep.I change whenever i want but it has to be only at night".
"Wait,i thought they were just legends!Are you going to convince me that there are vampires also?"
(sudden silence)
"Ok,i belief you".
"Don't worry you will see my transformation soon enough".
"When will that be?"
"Most probably today night",oh and by the way i am going to sleep with you from now on".
"What!Get your own room".
"This is mine,its because Cresent will come tonight for a rematch".
"Fine,what do we do now?"
"Sleep cause i have to be awake the whole night".

The Surprise
5.The Surprise
"WHAT!!!!!!!!!"
"We have never heard that one before(Cody punches Cassandras arm)"
"It is true,and Caen was going to tell you just before they announced".
"Well we the McAllister family agree to this engagement,congratulations".
"I am so sad our little Cass is all grown up(Cody starts to cry)"
"Don't worry i will take very good care of her".
"Of course you will or we would have to kill you if you don't".
"Oh, our dad is calling for us-we will be right back".
"Cassandra?"
"Hmm.....?"
"Why don't you have any girl friends?"
"Well, mostly because whenever i try to talk to them they would do or say something nasty".
"Ooh,well i don't think having boys as friends is a good thing".
"Zack and Cody are my best friends! no matter what you say.Father doesn't mind".
"Suit yourself,i wont say anymore".
"I know that your secretly jealous (laughing to her self)".
"I beg your pardon!".
"I am going to the ladies so stop following me ok!"
"Fine,i will be here if you need me future Countess Cassandra Grey".He said that while grinning at me.
Finally,i was free from everyone.But by the time i got to sneak out of the hall,it was already 12:30.I went to my room to go get changed,because i couldn't run away in such fancy clothes.But come to think of it all my clothes are fancy.I wore something more comfortable and,came out of my rooms.I sneaked into the garden and,found the maids entrance there.No one was here so i went out".Finally i made it,but what do i do now?.I continued walking till i found a bench,i needed a break so i went closer to it.But just as i got close enough to sit down on it,I saw someone in the dark but i couldn't make out who it was.It seemed to be getting closer,i started to panic.Then i instantly sat down and covered my face with my hands,now it was standing in front of me! about 2 inches away-The only thing i could see was his crimson eyes.
Then suddenly i heard rough breathing behind me,as i was about to turn around and look-it was someone who looked like a giant wolf.The wolf was covered in blood and the man with crimson eyes vanished,suddenly the wolf collapsed and to my surprise it looked like a man now instead of a wolf!I went closer to try and help the man,as i was getting closer i could see his face now and it looked like Caen!His tux was torn but anyone could tell that he was wearing a tux.I helped him up and laid him on the bench,i tried to wake him but he fell asleep so i thought i might as well sleep too since it had been a long day.When i woke up it was dawn and he was still sleeping,when i looked at him again in disbelief-there were no traces of cut,bruises,wounds nor blood.What is going on?
The Escape
4.The Escape
As i was getting ready for bed,i enjoyed looking at the moon before i fell asleep.So i went up to the window and felt the cool breeze on my face,as i was looking a round the garden and admiring the flowers,then i just happened to see a dark figure creeping out of the house and into the night.As curious as i was i went to the garden to see who it was-it was too quiet and scary but i really wanted to know who it was.I made it out into the garden without anyone noticing me,as i was walking towards the fountain i felt someone creeping behind me."Who goes there?"is what i said but nobody answered.Then out of the blue Caen was standing behind me shirtless!
"What are you doing here Cassandra?its not safe!"
"Well i saw someone creeping around and i thought it was a thief".
"Return to your room at once before anyone catches you!"
"No,by the way why are you dressed like that?"
"It's none of your concern what i do and don't do".
"I want don't to live with a person like that you know".
"......................."
"I can help you know,if only you could be the person you were.The carefree open person who used to care for me whenever i got hurt".
"I still am that person,but i don't want to hurt you"
"Why would you hurt me?"
"Because i have changed since i went to Transylvania"
"What happened?"
"Its getting cold and tomorrow is the big day you should get some rest.I will tell you in good time"
"Very well,Goodnight then Caen".
"Your still calling me that,brings back old memories".
"Anyway goodnight".
"Lets me up tomorrow and go together ok?"
"Sure partner,Goodnight".
Finally,the day has arrived.Its time for my escape but first i will wait until midnight,so that it will seem like someone kidnapped me.Since i got dressed early,i might as well go and wait for Caen.Just as i was about to go to his private rooms,he was already waiting outside of my room.
"Still sneaking out?"
"No,i was just on my way to your rooms".
"Oh,i was waiting for you to get dressed but it looks like you already did".
"You look good in a tux".
"You don't look have bad yourself! in fact people may drop dead looking at you".
"I will ignore that but thank you".
"Shall we go now partner?"
"Yes,lets".
Hand in hand we walked to the great hall,which was only used for parties.I thought to myself,i might as well enjoy myself before i escape.We reached the doors and our names were announced,but i couldn't help but notice that everyone was staring at us!Then we greeted the king and his family just before i went to my father.
"Happy Birthday,Cassandra!"
"Thank you,father".
"Well enjoy yourself,i will announce the big news at just before midnight".
"What!why wait.......i mean we could say it now?"
"No,no i prefer to do it then".
"You should mingle around,go now have some fun".
(just walks away from him)
"Have fun he says,i suppose i could make it anyway i wonder where Zack and Cody are?"
"Hey!Cass wow you look stunning".
"Hey,Zack and Cody i have missed you(hugs them both)".
"We have too by the way happy birthday".
"I heard that Carson was here".
"He is but since his 20 he has to go talk to all the grown-ups".
"Hope we don't do that,cause we might just die of laughter looking at them".
"Ha...Ha...Ha..."
"Enough,anyway why have you guys been away?"
"Well,we are supposed to become doctors".
"So we are not allowed to go anywhere!"
"Well i know how you feel Zack".
(was interrupted by Carson)
"How do you do Zack and Cody Mcallister?"
"Its a pleasure to finally meet you Carson Grey"
"Yes,i wanted to meet Cassandra's friends for a long time".
"Well you finally have,but what brings you here?"
"I am her........."
"May i have your attention please everyone".
"Today is my daughter's and Carson Grey's birthday as you all know"
"I have great news".
"My daughter is to be married to Carson Grey on her 18th birthday!"

The Ball
3.The Ball
Father was immediately examined and it was confirmed that he had gone into shock,it was not critical but he needed to rest-since he had been working instead of sleeping.The doctor had also come to check on my mother,he said that her condition was not improving but it was getting worse-much worse.Caen was to stay here until father had recovered,and so he had to look into father's affairs-and deal with the me who was confused about everything.The night after the incident happened Caen had called for me,because he needed to clear things out between us.So,i went to his private rooms to discuss this matter further.
(knock,knock)
"Come in Cassandra",i heard someone say-it was obviously him of course.
"I am sorry to disturb you at such a time".
"No,not at all-i have been expecting you".
"May i have a seat?"
"Yes,please do".
"Your father wants you to know that a party is going to be held here for your 16th birthday,and it is also to celebrate my 20th birthday".
"Oh,i forgot-our birthday's are on the same date September 24!"
"Anyway,he also wants to announce our engagement "
(sudden silence)
"You should know that i am still the same person you used to hug and play with all the time".
"I can see that,its just that i want to choose the person i want to be with for myself!"
"Just so you know,i have no objections Cass"
"I am leaving now-i don't want to hear anymore of this nonsense"
"Wait!i am not finished yet"
(Door slams)
I have no idea of how i could get out of this mess.While walking back to my room i thought of something,but it was my only option.That is to escape from all this and live in peace,but how-Hmm.............i know the party!at the night of the party i will escape.
Meanwhile,Carson had gone to see Cassandra's father and to discuss about Jonathan's(Cassandra's father) will.
"May i come in father?"
"Yes,please come in and make yourself comfortable".
"Are you getting better?"
"Yes,i think its about time i started working again-i cant stand to just sit here and do nothing!"
"I have told Cassandra about everything and she is not too excited about it".
"Well she has to agree in order to inherit the family fortune".
"But she does not know that and i don't want her to marry me just for the money!"
"Don't fret lad,you have 2 more years to get to know each other".
"Yes,but i still think its a little to early to announce anything".
"The sooner the better,thats how i see it".
"Will king George The III be there?"
"Of course,i want it to be the best ball anyone has ever seen!"
"I would like to ask something of you".
"Yes,what is it?"
"I refuse to invite the Cresent's!"
"I know how you feel lad,but you know that you should keep your friends close and your enemies closer".
"I understand,well its about time i leave-Goodnight".
"Yes,Goodnight".
The Plan
"I went to study law while traveling around Europe, what have you been doing?"
"I am being forced to study history and become the first historian at the age of 15!"
"Whoa.........that's quite a lot of pressure,for a pretty little lady like you".
"You do know that flattery will get you no where"
"I expect you know why i am here-right?"
"I don't have a single clue"
"Cassandra,he is here because when you were small- both the Grey's and Vacent's made an agreement.Which is that you are to be married to him at the age of 18 and inherit the Vacent fortune".
I froze,unable to speak and the person beside me was not as shocked as i was.I new that this was going to happen to me someday,a prince in shining amour coming to take his princess away and live happily ever after.Unfortunately i was not interested in such fantasies and i don't want to be a historian-i want to be a famous writer!Not get married to this flashy snob and have kids who will have the same fate as mine!I breathed deeper and said"I refuse to marry someone who only cares about my money and i have no intention to be a house wife at such an early age!".
Bewildered by my answer my father collapsed,stunned as i was the person next to me ran to him and asked someone to call the doctor immediately.

follow up
The summary in my first blog was just a preface.I haven't actually started writing it yet,just so everyone knows.I thought that i would need some feed back to continue but-since i had nothing else to do to entertain myself,i thought- what the hell,so i wanted to go deeper.........to see how wild my imagination would go.
1.THE FOLLOW UP
It was just another day to me,living in a huge mansion locked up in my room-father expecting me to finish a whole war(The war between the British and the French).I used to love history as if it was my only best friend in the horrible world i lived in,but as time passed by i noticed that the more i read, the more i disliked it.The cause-well lets just say my father was a little to happy about it.The happiness turned into a rivalry between other nobles and i was forced to be the best among all of them.
Of course, i did what i was forced to do but,as time pasted by i forgot my love for history and started to avoid my father.Well, it did work-but only for a while........he knew at once what i was trying to do and locked me up in my room.I was only allowed to come out of my room when parties were being held,which was really not what i liked to do with my time.The only person who would come to my room was Ms.Croff,she was about 50 and was a nice and gentle person, she had a round figure and she wore glasses.She usually came to my room with food or to collect the dirty laundry.You could say that she was the head maid in the mansion.

2 parts of who i am
Hey,because this is my first time writing a blog there would be flaws in it so ...... i hope you don't mind,something inspired me to write a little story which i want to share with everyone.After reading theTwilight series i wondered if i could write my own story,since i had so much free time now instead of lazing around the house i could do something useful(which i fail to do most of the time).This story that i created is really simple at the moment since its only an outline. It is a story which takes place in medieval times, a girl named Cassandra Vacent who is a daughter to an aristocrat in England. She is a young girl with an ambition which is to become an author, but because of her noble families status she is forced to become a historian at the age of 15.
She disliked this very much,and decided to escape from her father's grasp.When she managed to escape she had noticed someone in the moonlight, but she could not make out who it was.The thing looked like a big giant wolf covered in blood and something else caught her eye, it was a beautiful man who was smiling at me when i met his gaze,suddenly i saw his fangs.As speechless as i was i ran...............
This is how i would like my story to start of i am still thinking of names and ways to prolong the story line.If i find anyone who is fascinated with the story line, i will continue writing or i would just write about something else.Just so you know i have already created the names of the werewolf and vampire.
werewolf : Carson Grey
Vampire : William Cresent
