Chapter 18

Poppy stares at Branch in awe while blushing at the same time. She does not have a scratch from battle! The moonlight shines on Branch making her look beautiful. Poppy had never seen a woman as beautiful as the one in front of him. Now that Poppy freed by the ropes Branch pulls him up onto his feet quickly. Poppy is taken off guard as helps him out.

Once Poppy is standing Branch takes a moment to actually look at Poppy. She wasn't able to do so earlier. Branch blushes as she notices how handsome Poppy is. Then she notices that he mysterious male vampire is staring at her making her blush more but, she mentally scolds herself for acting like this! No guy had ever made her act like this before! Branch does her best to stop blushing and to go back to acting normal.

"So who are you? ", Branch asks trying to sound neutral.

Poppy snaps out of staring. He realizes that he didn't hear what the mysterious woman said to him. The hunter blinks a few times clueless before speaking.

" Oh sorry. Could you repeat that?",Poppy asks.

Branch raises an eyebrow. He didn't hear her question? Well that was not the first time a vampire didn't hear her. Sometimes others would get distracted so the Queen would have to repeat herself.

"So who are you? ", Branch replies.

Poppy makes the 'Oh' face. He immediately thinks back to the story he had been given and studied. Archer made it something that is a little easy for Poppy to help him avoid slipping up. She didn't want her friend to get in trouble.

" I'm Poppy Kendrick and you?",Poppy introduces friendly.

Branch nods her head to Poppy. For some reason his surname sounds familiar to her but,she does not know why or where she heard it before. He must be a recently turned Vampire since he does not recognize her or he must had never saw her in her casual clothes.

"I'm Queen Branch Timberlake of Vampires...", Branch introduces formally.

Poppy's eyes widen as Branch introduced herself. She is the Queen? The Queen of all vampires? The real Vampire Queen? Poppy is shocked! Based off the way she is dressed he would had never thought that she is the Vampire Queen!

Branch is just wearing a simple brown and green dress with a leaf print vest. He honestly pictured the Vampire Queen to wear a Gothic dress and a crown or tiara. The way the older vampire hunters would describe her it made Poppy think she would be a selfish, evil and ugly woman but, she doesn't seem evil,she came and tried to save him,asked if he was okay and she is the most beautiful woman he ever saw! Queen Branch raises an eyebrow at Poppy's shock. She didn't expect him to be that surprised.

" Your the Vampire Queen? ",Poppy asks shocked.

Branch nods her with an expression that says an obvious "Yeah". The Queen gets an feeling that he must be a tuned as she thinks everything over. Then Branch looks around realizing that there are still vampire hunters around. She turns to Poppy with a serious expression on her.

" We should go before they get back up and get ideas. Take my hand?", Branch says serious.

Then Branch offers her hand to Poppy. The pink vampire looks at Branch confused. He didn't understand why she wanted him to take her hand. The Queen notices his confusion.

"Mr Kendrick - ", Branch says but,gets cut off by Poppy.

" Just call me 'Poppy'...",Poppy tells.

He honestly prefers to be called "Poppy". Poppy sees no need to be all formal right now. The pink vampire hopes that he won't be called " Mr Kendrick " too much. He doesn't mind being called "Mr Kendrick" but, it wasn't always a necessary thing with Poppy.

" Okay Poppy...You are going to have to trust me on this. I don't need Vampire Hunters knowing where The Vampire Kingdom is! I'll take you there and I promise nothing bad will happen to you along the way there. It will be a quick trip with my vampire speed...",Branch says honestly and encouraging.

The male vampire is hesitant at first but, he takes a hold of Branch's hand. Poppy notices how soft and gentle it is as she tightens her gripe. Suddenly Branch pulls Poppy along as she runs very fast with her vampire speed. Then before Poppy knew it they had stopped... The turned Vampire looks up and sees the gate sign and the grand Vampire Kingdom. The gate is black,tall and made of very strong metal. The sign is black,apart of the fence and gate and is sitting above the gate with "Vampdom" in gold.

Poppy is amazed by it all. The buildings are strong,well built and designed to look smart and a little Gothic. There are places that have bright lights making the kingdom look bright. There are vampires walking around, flying,socializing and some are romancing each other. Then there is Branch's beautiful and castle! It stands proud like a landmark. The vampire hunter never thought the Kingdom of Vampires would look like this!

Branch walks inside then turns around to face Poppy. She smirks after noticing Poppy's amazement. The male vampire looks cute amazed to the Queen. Branch immediately mentally scolds herself again for getting distracted like that. The female vampire shakes it all off after scolding herself.

"Welcome to Vampdom,Poppy. The Kingdom of Vampires. Come on...", Branch says softly.

Poppy brings his attention back to Branch. He walks up to her quickly. Then they both started walking together into Vampdom. Branch decides to keep a reasonable distance since she is not comfortable with Poppy getting too close to her. She doesn't really know him.

" Your going to need to get a place and a job since your going to stay here. I'll see what I can do to help you out. It might take a while to get used to being a turned vampire...",Branch says seriously

Poppy looks at Branch then asks the Queen a question.

" Is it obvious that I'm a turned vampire?",Poppy asks curious.

Branch doesn't turn her head to Poppy. She keeps looking forward as they walk.

"Very. Your skin, your big surprise when I introduced myself and the fact that you didn't use your powers against the hunters and you didn't seem to really try to escape. The Vampire Hunters had power over you...", Branch replies honestly.

Meanwhile somewhere in Vampdom, the Terrors are in their Gang house. Terence sits on the couch smoking in the living room. The place is a bit messy. Wendy and Willow gossips as they sit next to their leader minding their own business. Then suddenly Jordan comes into the living room with a letter.

" That Old Man,Danny Stone just messaged us...", Jordan says.

Terence smiles evilly as the Terror Twins just look up at Jordan.
