Chapter One
The Vampire Kingdom

Vampires

The creatures of the night who's existence was only known by a few.

Ghost stories told about them made children shiver in fear but they were always told later on that they were only myths.

They'd beg to differ.

An elegant lady with a posture to kill for was seated in her study looking over decree papers. Her name was Mrs. Jeon and she reigned as queen for the Vampire Kingdom alongside her husband, Mr. Jeon.

As soon as she picked up the next paper to look over, her only son walked in.

"You called for me Mother?" Her son, Jungkook, was the oldest of the two children and was expected to be the heir when the time came.

"Yes, my dear, I suggest you sit down for these news."

The young Jungkook sat in the wooden chair in front of her desk patiently waiting on the reason she called him.

"What's the issue Mother?" His mother never called him into her office unless it was something important. Poor Jungkook could only wonder what it was.

"You know that your father and I have become quite 'old' for the throne." She started as she looked directly into Jungkook's eyes. "The officials are worried that our old age will do more harm than good and would like young blood to take over the throne. We must step down soon which means you will be the ruler of this kingdom."

"Ok-" Jungkook was quickly interrupted.

"But-"

"But?" Jungkook was baffled as to what else would need to be discussed.

"You will need a queen by your side. Your father and I have saved you the troubles and made a list of all the female vampires suitable for you and the throne."

Shocked was the understatement of what Jungkook was feeling right now. He had to marry one of those stuck up gold diggers who loved being brats. No way would he marry one of them.

"But Mother-" He tried to tell her that he couldn't but his mother refused to hear it.

"You will meet with each of them and decide who is the best for you," Mrs.Jeon kept her voice settled but the same couldn't be said for Jungkook.

"Mother! None of them are the best for me! I don't want an arranged marriage with any of them! They'll only want money!"

"Every one of those girls is waiting for the chance to be with you! Why don't you want at least one of them?"

"I want someone who loves me for me and not my future title!"

"You will marry one of those girls and you will be crowned king!"

Poor Jungkook had enough of his mother's fiasco so he stood up and left abruptly, slamming the door along with him.

He went to his best friend's house and sat down on the blonde's bed while the latter was playing music on his black shiny piano.

"What happened this time?" Yoongi inquired as Jungkook lied down on his bed with a pout on his face.

"Mother is forcing me to marry a girl that won't love me." Jungkook sighed as he thought back to his previous conversation with his mother.

"Well, you gotta man up bro, you're 1000 years old! You can do anything you want!" Yoongi tried to hype him up only hoping that it would work.

"Then go to Earth with me." As fast as lightning, Yoongi looked at the brunette who had a smirk on his face.

At that same moment, Alex, young Jungkook's sister, was walking down the hallway into the throne room where sat her mother in a black off the shoulder crop top with straps, black tights and black combat boots with black fingerless gloves.

"Pardon me Mother?" Alex looked at her mother who was sitting at her throne reading a paper, most likely a decree to be vetted.

"Yes darling?"

"May I ask where my brother is?" Alex had not seen the boy in a while and she wondered where her brother could be.

"I am afraid I do not have the answer. He ran off after I discussed the details of his crowning."

"May I ask what they are?" Alex asked slowly, making sure that her mother wouldn't blow up at her.

"Very well." She paused before she continued. "I informed him that he must marry a girl who I have selected to marry to rule alongside him."

"But no girl in this kingdom will love him for him."

"That I have been informed of but we simply have no other choice. He must marry a suitable vampire before we step down."

"Very well Mother, you know best. I just think that he should decide who he wants to spend his life with." She sighed, knowing that her brother had not taken the news well and must have left in rage. "I will wait for him in the living room. He always goes there when he's sad or upset."

With that, Alex left her mother scanning over papers and hoped that her brother would not do anything too drastic in retaliation.
