Lucas-

"Where have you been", my father asked me as I walked into my office. He was sitting in my chair, which he seems to be doing a lot now. "And don't lie.",

I closed my door and leaned on it, "Human world, with her, Dorinda.", no point in lying to him. He probably smelt her scent as soon as I walked in this palace.

My father sighed, "I told you this before, stay away from her. I forbidden it.",

"I know and I'm sorry I disobeyed you, but she important to me-", but before I cold finish, he got up, was in front of me and smacked me across the face like he always did when he was mad at me.

"I don't care! Lena is here and she wont go away. Think about your people. That--whore isn't-",

I put my palms on his chest before he could finish and pushed him away. He went far back into the wall, but he didn't fall, "Don't call her that ever again.", I yelled at him as I opened the door, but before I could walk out, he yelled back at me.

"I thought I raised you better! I don't want you to make a mistake a again with a human. Remember what happen last time!", he yelled. "I don't even know why I'm letting you become king. You such a child--",

I turned around and yelled at him, "No I'm not!",

He talk as he started walking up to me, "Good, now I'll give you choice. Either turn your human into one of us or marry Lena.",

"I-I can't do that.",

"Will you have to!", he barked and left.

I hit the wall next to me, making a hole in the wall, and screamed, "Damn it!",

I can't lose Dorinda, she means everything to means everything to me! But I can't ask her change into on of us. She has parents that care about her. I took her from them before, I can't do that again.

But I don't want Lena, I hate her. She a gold digging whore, just like Emma. She trash with a fake tan. But I don't have a choice pretty much as long as my father still king and I'll be stuck with her forever, never be able to get away from her.

Speaking of Lena, she walked in to my office with a flirty smile. I looked disgustingly at her outfit, short jean skirt and white blouse. A future queen shouldn't dress like that, I told her that, but she wouldn't listen.

"Get out of that outfit-",

"Mmm, Lucas, finally you cave in.", she said, changing her smile into a grin.

"And go change into something descent.", I finish and walked out of the office and walked over to my room.

I heard Lena heels click over to my room and over to me. She wrapped her arm around my neck. I looked away as she tired to kiss me, "Come on Lucas, I don't feel like waiting for our wedding night to have you.",

I unwrapped her arms from around my neck, "Well, I can.", I said.

She put her hands on her hips angrily and scuffed, "Why don't you wont me? Huh? The boys in my town think I'm beautiful-"

"No, they think your easy.", I snapped at her.

Her eyes widen and I felt her hand go across my face, "How dare you!",

That's it; I quickly grabbed her shouldn't before she could blink and slammed her against the wall, "How dare you hit me! I still am you prince and I could have lock you away just for doing that!", I pointed a finger at her, "Just because we getting married doesn't mean I have to love you. Damn, I don't even like you.", I yelled her face.

She didn't speak for a few moments, "Well, I can live with that.", she said. She again wrapped her arms around my neck, but tightly and smacked her lips into mine. I tired to pull away, but she wrapped her legs around my waist and pressed her lips harder on mine.

After a minute of trying to fight her off, I finally mange to get her off and I threw her across the room. She hit my closet door and broke throw it. As she was down, I walked over to my bathroom and shut my door. I heard her same my name as I locked it.

Dorinda-

"Here we are.", Cain said as we drove up to a cabin that was near a lake. It looked to be at least 15 people here. I knew some, but others I don't know. About seven people were around a camp fire. Their was table filled with food, soda's, and beers. I can also hear the sound of music playing. "Dorinda, you okay?",

"Huh?", I asked.

"Are you okay? You have this sad expression on your face.", he said, looking worried. "Please tell me your not going all depressed on me.",

I manage to put on a fake smile, "I'm fine.",

"You sure? We don't have to be here. I mean, wherever you wanna go, I'll take you-"

"Cain, it's okay, I'm fine. I promise.", I said. He didn't look convinced, "I promise.",

"Okay.", he gave a small smile, "Stick by me, we don't want people to think you here alone.",

"So this is a date?", I had to ask.

"No, but lets just tell people that cause I got this girl following me around and I was hoping you could pretend to be my girlfriend to get her off my back.", he confessed.

I had to chuckle, "So you got a stalker.",

He grinned, "Hey, what can I say, I'm handsome.",

I rolled my eyes, "You have a big head.",

He gave a quick chuckle, "Yeah. Well anyways, will you do it?",

"I don't know,", I said truthfully. I didn't want to hurt that poor girl feeling.

"Please. Just this one night.", he said, giving a puppy dog face.

"Fine, fine. But just this night.",

"Thanks.",

We both got out the car and Cain walked over to me and put his arm around my waist. If only Lucas could see us now.

We walked into the crowd of people. Some people said hi to Cain and me, but mostly Cain. I notice a girl with blonde hair and brown eyes was watching us, well Cain actually, but she would sometimes gave me a evil look now and there.

I leaned up to Cain, "Is that her?", I yelled over the music, but loud enough so only Cain could hear.

"Yeah, her name Melissa. Oh God, she's coming over here.", he said, pulling me closer to him.

She smiled at Cain, "Hi Cain,", once she looked at me, her smile dropped, "Hello.". I just smiled at her and raised my hand in hello. She looked back at Cain with a smile again, "So Cain, who's she? Your--", she pause, waiting for an answer.

"My girlfriend.", Cain answered.

She didn't look happy . "Oh.", she said. "I think I need another drink.",

She walked off to the table. I don't get it. Melissa really pretty. She has perfect blond hair that goes to her the middle of her back and amazing cavers. She was tall and skinny. Her skin was smooth and tanned.

I turned back to asked Cain, "What's wrong with her? I mean, she pretty. Why are you trying to avoid her?',

"Cause I dated her before.", he answered.

I raised an eyebrow, "Is that really a reason to avoid her?",

"She obsessed with me. She may look all beautiful and glamorous on the out side, but crazy on the inside.",

I looked back at the girl, she was chugging down a can of beer. Damn, she's going to be sick later.

And hour later...

I was sitting on a blanket by the lake. Cain was went to use the bathroom. I didn't like being around all those people and since there few only a few around I know, I decided to sit here.

It's been a long time since I watched the stars. Usually in town, you can't see them, but since we're in the woods and there isn't much light but the house and fire, you can see a lot more.

My mom used to say their were little holes of light showing heaven light bright light. My family is Catholic, but we weren't the strick catholic. We believe in God, heaven, and Jesus, but that's pretty much it.

I jumped when Cain body sat down next to me. I didn't even hear him coming cause of the music playing. He sat to coffee cups in his hands with marshmallows on top. Hot chocolate.

Hey held one out to me, "You looked cold.", he said. I smiled and took it and said thank you. I wasn't freezing, but I was a little cold.

I wonder why Cain isn't drinking. I mean, I'm happy he isn't since he's my ride home, but he is a twenty, guys his age would be drinking at parties like this where beer is availed.

He took a drink of his and sighed in approval. He notice me staring and asked, "What?"

"Nothing, I'm just wondering something; why aren't you drinking?". Damn it, I can't believe I asked him that.

He laughed before grinning, "Cause last time I got drunk--badly, I woke up next to Melissa.",

I smacked my tongue against my teeth and hit his arm, "Don't be mean. Is that really why you wont drink?",

He chuckled, "A little. Really cause I don't feel like hearing my mom mouth when I come home.",

"You still live with your mom?",

"Well, it's more like she lives with me. She sick--cancer.",

My smile faded, "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know-",

He took a sip before speaking, "Don't sweat it. She'll be doing chemotherapy soon.",

"That's good.",

"Yup.", he nodded. The song changed to Jennifer Lopez On The Dance Floor. He put his coffee cup on the ground and he grabbed my arm, "Come on, lets go dance.",

He pulled me up as I spoke, "Wha-I-I don't think that's a good idea.", I said.

"Why?", he asked, grinning big now. "What? You can't dance or something.",

I looked down at the ground and blushed real hard I felt the heat.

"Come on, people will hardly notice.", he said as he pulled us over to the crowd of dancing people. I manage to put my coffee cup on the table before stepping into the crowd.

After a few second of move real slowly, I yelled over the crowd and music to Cain, "I think this is a bad idea.", I said.

"Here.", he said, taking my hands and putting them in his. "Just do what I do.",

I starting laughing at the moves that I would never know how to do. I started moving my body like some of the other girls in the, but not the one that really stick out. One of Cain hands left mine and his other hand twisted me around in circle. I didn't except it and I ended up landed up in Cain arms.

We both laughed, "Having fun now?", he asked.

I had to admit, I was now. I nodded my head, "Yeah.",

"Good, my mission is almost complete, for tonight", he said as he winked at me.

I raised a eyebrow, "What mission?"

"Like I said earlier, I want to help you live again. Life to short to be upset.",

I smiled, but something in me was a little sad. He was right, life is to short to be upset. I'm so upset and depressed, I haven't had fun like a normal eighteen year old. "You right and thank you.",

He just smiled back and his hands went on my waist as I got out of his arms and we continued dance. Suddenly Cain was pulled away from me and he was punched in the face, falling down on his side.

I looked at person who hit him. My eyes grew when I saw Lucas staring evilly down at Cain. Oh no.

"What the fuck, man!", Cain yelled as he touched his jaw.

Lucas didn't answer. Instead he bent down and pick Cain up easily by his shirt and hit in the face again.

"Lucas!", I yelled out his name and pushed my self on him to stop him from hurting Cain again. "Stop it.",

I looked down at Cain, he spit out some blood, "You know him!?", he asked. I then felt everyone eyes on us. Of jeez.

Lucas growled down at him, "I'm going to fucking-",

"Lucas, stop.", I yelled. "Please.",

He looked at me, "Who the fuck is he?", he said, pointing at Cain.

"He's a friend, I promise you that-"

"Oh, you must be really go friends with him then.", he spat at me.

"Lucas, it's not like that!", I said. I looked behind me to see if Cain was alright. He was getting up from the floor.

"What she said. Damn, man!", he said, putting his hand on his nose.

Lucas didn't seem to believe me cause he glared at him, "Don't you ever touch her again!",

"Dude, she can do whatever she wants. She's not you property!",

Lucas growled and pushed me a side from him. I almost fill down, but I manage to stand my balance. I grabbed Lucas arm before he could pouch Cain again, "Lucas, control your self. You're going to kill him."

"Why do you care!", he snapped at me.

I looked around, everyone was starting at us. Fuck, I can't talk about him being a prince here and a vampire. I bit down on my lip and looked at him seriously, 'Cause your a freaking vampire and there are humans all around. Please, lets go somewhere and talk'. I thought.

Lucas was breathing like a angry bull, but lowered his arms and spoke, "Fine.",

"Thank you.", I whispered silently, but I knew he could hear it.

Me and Lucas start walking away, but Cain yelled, "Dorinda, where are you going?",

I turned around and gave him an apoglientic look, "I'm so sorry, Cain. I have to go.",

"Not with him!", he snapped.

"I have to. I wish I could explain, but I can't. I'm sorry.", I turned around and Lucas and I started walking again. Cain said something, but I couldn't hear him cause people all around starting talking about what just happen.

Once Lucas and I were out of sight of the party, my heart started racing. He hasn't said a word to me, he just looked straight into the woods and his face was tight in anger.

I reached out to grab his hand, but he pulled away. I had this lump in my throat and it made it hard to speak, "Lucas-I-I..",

"Don't.", he said. He didn't yell it, but it was an icy and hard. "I can't believe you were with him.",

I manage to swallow the lump in my throat, "You don't even know him!",

"I know enough from the way he was dancing with you. I thought I could trust you-"

I cut him off, "Trust me!", I spat at him, my index finger pointing at my chest. My anger was boiling up, "I thought I could trust you! I was here all alone, waiting for you to come back to see me. But no, you were busy planning a wedding-",

"I don't want her!", he yelled.

"Doesn't matter!", I said, feeling my eyes tear up, but my anger was stronger, "Your getting married. You know that means? I wont have a chance to be able to be with you. Never.",

Lucas didn't speak back. He just looked at me with a glare that looked like he could attack me any second. After a moment, his face soften. "I'm sorry, Dorinda.". I can't believe him! He punched Cain in the face and he's apologizing to me? He put his hands on my waist like he was about to hug me, "I'm sorry-",

"Don't.", I said, taking his hands off my waist. I looked in his eyes, I manage to control my voice, but it turned serious. "Not only did you embarrass me, but you hurt a guy that was a friend! My friend! He was only being nice to me.",

"I'm sorry. It's just I went by you house to see you and you weren't there, I got worried.",

"Lucas, you told me in that letter you'll be at my house at eight thirty and you didn't show-",

"Wait, I didn't put down that time.", he said, his forehead wrinkled in confusion.

"Yes you did. In the letter you said you'll be back tonight at eight thirty-",

"Dorinda, I didn't put that time when I wrote it. I put down, 'I'll be back tonight around midnight'.",

My forehead also wrinkled, "But that's not what it said.",

Lucas brought his hands up to mouth in a thinking way, "Unless...", he trailed off as he went into thought.

"Unless, what?",

"Damn it!", Lucas said angrily and pouched the tree behind him.

"What?", I demanded. He knew something I didn't and I wont to know.

Lucas cupped my face with his hand and looked me in the eyes worriedly, "I think someone taking revenge for Emma and Tyson death.", he said.
