Vampire Ruins

Chapter 1. The book of a thousand meanings.
______________________________________________
You might think every kid lives a same life. Studies come first then playtime and a everyday nagging lesson from their parents. Apparently, I live in a different manner.

My name is Phedra, most likely I live in a house of non-rules usage. Parents don’t nag and studies don’t come first. It all changes when your parents are into hunting ghosts.

You might think that I am lucky, yeah it is cool to have those gadgets and stuff but the problem is, they really don’t care. Ok, focus on the story.

_____________________After summer________________________

^What’s up girl, why the glum look again?^

^Nah… Nothing much going on, parents complain all day about ghosts not appearing and stuff, wish they cared a little bit about my school work and stuff. How are you then Reika? Feeling refreshed after the summer break?^

^More like I just escaped from jail! Parents giving tons of work to do…^

-Wow…I wished my parents cared like her parents does…-

Riiinnnnnng~There goes the school bell, I went to my first class and took a seat. I ransacked my bag to look where did I chuck my holiday assignments, took it out and a strange boy passed me a book… Wonder what was that for, I looked at the cover and realized it was a vampire story book… <>
The title only had the word vampires and there was a picture of a vampire and a girl… The girl seemed dead and had blood all over her body… The vampire had blood dripping from its mouth… Due to my passion for vampires, I decided to accept the book and read it went I go home. It seemed that the book had some kind of message…

Lunch Time~

I was still wondering why did the boy give me the book, he was dressed in full black and had red blood shot eyes… Could he be? Okay… I think I better read the book before jumping in to any conclusions. The next thing I knew, my vision turned pitch black.

^Phedra, are you feeling much better? You looked extremely pale when you passed out during lunch.^

^Thanks Reika, I’m feeling much better already. What’s the time now?^

^You are so lucky, school’s over.^

^Wh..what?! School’s over already? Where’s my bag? And that strange guy who passed me a book?!^

^Calm down Phedra, calm down, your bag is right here beside you. And who is that weird guy?^

^I don’t know.. He passed me this book about vampires.^

I searched my bag and took the book out to show Reika, I still don’t have a clue why give it to me and not any other people. This is getting weird. Very weird.

^Wow… this book looks real historical and it’s published in… 1700?! That was a few darn centuries ago!^

^Well, that guy could always buy it from a book store or something… I guess?^ I gave a look of hope to her.

^Hold on, why would someone buy a vintage book which will cost a bomb and give it to someone that they do not know?^

^Okay… So I’m wrong.. That guy is a few centuries old?!^

^I think we better check out the book.^

As soon as she tried to open the book a message appeared on the book. >This book of history, will not open unless opened and read only by the owner of the book<…

^Okay… I guess this belongs to you Phedra, go home and read it, I’ll meet you tomorrow in school. Tell me about anything that sounds weird or so, I’ll help you with it.^

^Okay, I’ll catch you tomorrow, will keep in touch with you.^

I took my bag and ran home wondering what’s in the book. I tried opening it but a message appeared again >Open it now and it will not be a secret< and I had to wait until I get home…

As soon as I got home, I closed the main door and the gate and rushed upstairs locked my bedroom door. And I begin to bury myself into this book.

And when I opened the book, I was amazed by the writings they had in the olden days. And I then flipped to the first page of the story.

>Vampire Realm<
Chapter one: The legend rose up from it’s stories and myths.

Everybody thought that a creature with fangs who drew blood from humans by their usage of fangs were a myth. But they were wrong, a creature like this did exist in the realm. It looked like any other human on the planet. But when the full moon appeared, they will transform and go around hunting for human blood to feed. And this is what you are going to read about.

It didn’t seem that all of these creatures were made to kill, some were born good and only used their fangs for defense. And that was how this book was written.

1689AD
I was in the vampire realm[what I called it]. Trying to get some artifacts and learn how the vampires live in daily live. By day they were like any other human being, but by night… They turned into a vampire. Although in the full moon they transform too, but during night, they had to go to the blood bank and drink some blood. It was only on the full moon that they will hunt. They sleep upside down like bats. When transformed they have wings, fangs and do not look like themselves. But unfortunately, I was discovered by the vampires. And I became one after they drank my blood, every human they drew blood from, that particular human turns into a vampire. That is how they expand their kingdom of their own kind.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
By then, I wanted to get some sleep so that I could go to school early tomorrow and the book I read had taken and hour or so as it was quite difficult to understand those words. I tried closing the book but the book won’t close, instead another message appeared >you are trapped in the realm of vampires already, this book won’t not close until you have read the entire book<

okay… I could not close the book, and what will happen if I can’t get some sleep and I won’t be able to get up for school tomorrow?!

^Need some help Phedra?^ A voice came out of nowhere whispered into my ear.

The lights when out and a strong gust of wind blew the candles flame out. It was now pitch black.

A pair of glowing red eyes was soon looking at me straight in the eyes. I started to step back by the eyes got closer and closer. ‘Click’ went something and the lights were all working again. The candles had its flames. And where did that pair of glowing red eyes go…

^You were scared aren’t ya^ And the voice tickled my ear again.

^Wh…Who are you?An…And what do you want?^ Trembling and looking everywhere in the room, nothing moved and nothing was touched. Then where is this guy?

^I’m right behind you Phedra.^ And he appeared in front of me.

^Oh it’s you who gave me the book, why give me the book? And not anyone else? And it’s so ancient that it’s almost priceless.?^

^Long story Princess. A very, very ,very long story.^
^Princess?! I’m just an ordinary girl, how could I be a princess? I don’t even look like one!^

^A very long story, you were re-incarnated into Earth again. Well, I guess it would be clearer if you kindly follow me to where your memories are kept for 10 centuries.^

^WHAT?! That’s a THOUSAND YEARS!^ As I shouted , I realize I had fangs growing out of my teeth.

^Okay, I’ll tell you, those are ready to cling on to some blood now.^

^What am I? Why do I have fangs?^

^Princess, you are a Vampire.^

^I do not believe you. I only believe in what I see not in what I hear.^

^Then you shall see my ~Queen~.^

He held me tight and with two claps of his hands, we were in another dimension. We were not in Earth anymore… We were in the Vampire realm…

^Queen?^

^Let’s not waste time my dear ~Queen~. If you do want to know my name, it’s Zidane.^

Wow… Nice castle… So black and dark…

^It’s our castle my dear.^ He gave me a smile and kissed me on my cheek.

I did not know what was that for… But I knew that it was winter here.. Brrr. So cold. I opened the doors to the castle and went in. The place was marvelous. It had almost everything a person would ever want. The furniture were all white in color and… Where was the vampire book?!

^Did you take the vampire book that you gave me Zidane?^
^It’s right here. Don’t need to worry, the book will no longer ‘haunt’ you. C’mon I’ll take you to your room.^ He gave me a wink and took my hand.

He seems pretty cute and all. Wait a minute, I can’t fall in love with a vampire!

I followed him up the stairs and he led me to a magnificent room which more likely looks like a suite. The furniture was all in black. There were portraits on the wall that looked like me. The bed had black translucent curtains around it and sheets were white in colour.

^This room is magnificent… Are you sure it’s mine? And the portraits.. Are they me?^

^I’m afraid they are my queen. Do change your clothes, and I’ll bring you around for a little tour around the palace.^ He once again kissed me gently on the cheek and left me in the room to change.

I then looked through the cupboard and found lots of black gowns. There were corsets and black leather pants too. So I found a long sleeve/corseted top and a pair of leather pants to go with. I then put on some boots to go with. I didn’t knew I had these sort of clothes.

I stepped out and saw Zidane waiting outside. He seemed pretty shocked of my dressing.

^Wow… You look magnificent my queen.^

^Thank you. Shall we start?^

He nodded and took my hand once more. And strolled around the castle. He showed me every single room. Even the blood bank… The final stop was his room. Which apparently did look a little similar to mine and it is just in front
of my bedroom.

^Nice and neat bedroom you’ve got here.^ I said to him.

^Why thank you, now shall we look through your past? I’m sure you are very curious about it.^

^I suppose I am very curious to know about it Zidane.^
