All Chapters of The Vampire Kingdom: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Chapter 1- Elnora POV The surrounding darkness comforts me in ways that the sun and my daily life could never compare. I feel alive and free as I look upon the old oak tree in such a beautiful forest full of wonders. Slowly I turn around to find I am not alone in the dark. The man standing before me gives me a sense of peace and security mixed with an emotion I have not felt in many years, love. His steps are agonizingly slow as he approaches me. I find myself speaking to him, "You and me forever." My words filled with love and compassion for this mystery man. "Forever," he confirms. As his words conclude, I feel a sharp electrifying pain on the side of my neck—fear not rearing its ugly head, only satisfaction of the event that has taken place. Total and utter bliss has taken over my soul as my blood seeps into his mouth. Rolling over in bed, I acknowledge the early morning sun peeking through my window. "Already?" I question myself as I slowly sit up and stretch. Ru

Chapter 3- Talvin's POV           I tried to take all of the anger out of my voice when I spoke to my mother. I really tried. "The problem is," I must talk myself down from screaming at my mother in her current state, I urge myself. My anger has me seeing red, and I must try and control myself, but I knew that I  now needed to tell her something. I made a mistake and lead with some form of words, letting her know something was, in fact, happening. "There is more." These few words were all I could give her at this moment. I couldn't continue without my anger bubbling to the surface and taking over. If that were to happen, I would break more than the trust my family had in me. I must keep quiet for now. I need to think about everything with a clear mind. I can not let myself jump to conclusions in this situation.           Sitting back in my chair, I waited

Chapter 5- Fulton’s POV          The moment I looked into the eyes of the man in the rain, I knew who he was and why he was here. I could feel Talvin tense up next to me, and I knew he had dealings with this man in the past. This man wasn’t here for him this time, nor was he here for Merrick. Merrick had dabbled a little more into reading than he thought. He was on the verge of finding out about the hidden side when he finally gave up. I could feel his uncertainty of the man through his stance and how the air changed around us.          I, on the other hand, knew it all. For the past six months, I had been eavesdropping on my father’s late-night phone calls. He would wait until Mom was asleep before slipping from bed and making his way out onto the porch. I, on the other hand, would hear him and took to my computer. I would pull up the surveillance cameras and

Chapter 7- Fulton’s POV  “Go to bed, son,” Dad calls from the kitchen. His eyes are burning into me as he looks upon my skin. “I will as soon as I know that Mom is ok.” I give a half-smile in return. “I think you should go to bed now.” His voice is more eager to have me go to bed than before. His eyes are darting to the front window. “Ok, promise me you will make sure mom is, ok?” “I will.” “Night then.” “Yeah, Night.” His reply chipped as the floor creaks under his footing.          I immediately open my laptop when entering my room, followed by putting on clothing. “You are late” I am just in time to see what is happening between Dad and Lawler as Dad nags at him. “I am certainly not late. You were the one who overslept. Please note the time and your attitude.” Dad opens his mouth to

Chapter 9- Elnora POV The second the door closes, questions burst from me. “What does this have to do with your father? What lineage do you have? What Kingdom has better care? What is happening?” Pulling my feet from Fulton’s hands, I demand the answers. “We will tell you in the car,” Merrick announces, removing my shoes from my bag. “Why not tell me now?” “The walls have ears,” Talvin responds. “Promise you will tell me in the car?” I verify. “We will start the conversation in the car, yes.” Merrick agrees. “Start it?” “Yup! Get dressed,” Fulton calls as they all leave my room.  They have closed me in my room with nothing but the sound of the machines beeping and my frantic nerves.          I sit upon the side of the bed and look out at the darkening day. Something in the parking lot catches my eye and g
