Chapter 3
"Nothing like home sweet home," Alec says as he rips off the piece of cloth from my mouth. I spit out the other one onto him.
"My hands," I say shooting a glare at him as if none of this is bothering me. I need to remain calm and strong if I want to escape. But in reality, my head is spinning and I feel frightened.
"Oh yes, of course, your highness," The driver- Alec says sarcastically as he undoes the knot, I can see Lucas giving him a dirty look for a split second before he looks back at the road. I rub my wrists trying to ease the pain.
"You must have many questions," Carter says his voice sending shivers down my spine. "To put it simply you, Eleonora Martinov is the missing princess of our kingdom, the vampire kingdom." He says turning around to face me. I look at him I know my hazel eyes are even larger than they usually are. He looks back at me for what seems like forever, and I realize that this man is serious, he's a lunatic. I can't help but start laughing. I laugh so hard tears begin falling down my cheeks. "What's so funny?" He snaps clearly frustrated.
"I'm sorry, but vampires?" I say in between laughs.
"You think we're lying?" He spits out before I know it his wonderful blue eyes turn black, and he hisses at me with fangs. I stop laughing instantly and grow scared instead. Failing to let my face cover it. I remain silent for the rest of the journey. I can feel my heartbeat in my head, my palms are sweating. I feel like I'm going to have a panic attack. I try to take a few long breaths to calm myself.
Within a few minutes, a town comes in front of us, with people everywhere and flowers and a river it would have been a breathtaking view if it weren't for the fact that I had just been kidnapped and was forced to be in a car with my arms tied for the entire night. After another half hour, a huge castle appears in front of us. Decorated beautifully with daisies purple and blue flowers everywhere and ivy hanging from the windows. It looks like something you'd see in a fairytale with long circular towers, and flowers and golden fountains everywhere. I can't get my eyes off of it. It is the most beautiful and magnificent place I have ever seen.
The SUV finally comes to a halt and the four men get out, the large and incredibly tall, golden doors of the castle open and there are multiple people pouring out and getting into a V formation. The door on my side is opened for me.
"Welcome home your majesty," Alec says and the men bow meanwhile the women curtsey. Even Alec bows and he's been god awful to me this entire trip.
Women, men, and children all hand flowers to me. I try to accept as many as I can but there are too many. I notice that all of their eyes are the same icy blue as Alec, Lucas, and Carters. When I finally make it up the large steps a woman wearing a long black dress greets me.
"Eleonora Martinov, at last, we meet. You are the striking image of your mother." She curtsies. Her voice sounds like honey and her red hair is a mess. "My name is Yven. I'm the Countess of a land not too far from here. And I am a friend." She smiles, I notice her eyes are green rather than the icy blue that all the other people seem to have here.
"... Thank you" I manage to mutter, I'm at a loss for words. "But I think you've got the wrong person... My name isn't Eleonora Martinov." I stutter. I wonder if they'll kill me once they realize they've gotten the wrong person.
"Yes, well then. What is your name?" She giggles, amused by my comment.
"Eleanor Martin." I barely whisper. "And I know they sound similar but they are in fact very different," I say more confidently. I wait for her to call for a car or order someone to take me away and suck out my blood, but instead, she gives me a warm smile.
"I know you're feeling nervous. I too was nervous when I first got here. But don't worry I will explain everything. Follow me." She says and begins leading me down the incredibly large hallway. I take in the interior decor. It's definitely a lot lighter than one might imagine a vampire's castle to look like. I am hurried up the stairs and pushed around from one room to the next. I can't even take in my surroundings. I am showered by someone fitted into a long floral dress by another person. Have makeup put on my face, my hair straightened even more than it already was. and finally brought into a large room with a double golden door with plush white carpets and a large queen bed. With golden and white bedsheets. "The queen has incredible taste." She says as she also looks around the room clearly impressed. "Now I will explain." She gives me the same soft smile from before.
