ETTVB 1: Breathe Again

♡♥♡

It was the day neither me or anyone have forseen. The day my life would permanently be changed for an eternity. The life I grew up in would be devour by the other clan because of one contract.

It was that day in Winter that the new chapter in my life begun.

I am not pretty, I know. My grades are great but not the best and I despise the other clan...

So much.

Even hearing their existence sends chills to my spine.

But I can't say no.

♡♥♡

"Princess! Princess!" I was woken up by the calling nearby. I turned around hearing the faint calling of someone approaching as I remain leaning on the tree of the school garden. "What's wrong?"

"Your father, his highness is calling for you urgently Princess." He pants rubbing his dripping sweat.

Why would my father call me suddenly?

The man brought me to the car and we drove off back to the mansion. I could hear my father's grumpy footsteps engulfing the place. I breathe deeply knocking the door.

"Come in" he answered.

"I have arrived father. What is it that you needed me urgently. Could it not wait until my classes end?"

Father turned around and his face pale as a ghost. His hair had grown mixed dark brown and white because of ruling the race all his life. I approached him slowly. "Is everything alright?"

There was a long pause before he replied. "You have to forgive me Fhae. I did a mistake that I cannot fix easily." He covered his face with his palm.

"What's wrong papa? What are you talking about?"

"You've heard of all our companies detoriating right?" I nodded. "And the worsening economy?"

"Yes."

"Well... The other clan contacted me and gave me a proposal to save the economy for our people. They will be able to help and save us to.."

"Wait. You talked with... the Vampires?!" My voice rose higher. He took a seat on the long beige couch still looking at me.

"Yes."

"Papa, you did not seriously do that." My voice echoing in the place.

"That's why I'm apologizing to you Fhae!" I flinched. "As a ruler, I need to think about the land and its people. But as a father, I want to protect you. But I... I failed! I failed miserably!" I sat beside him holding his hand. His eyes were weeping deep inside already.

"Papa, what did they asked for in exchange?"

Dad trembled before looking at me again. "Your... Your hand in marriage to one of the Vampire King's sons. I was thinking of the people so much that I've forgotten that you don't want this kind of things especially if it has something to do with them." My eyes widened so much with disbelief. I suddenly felt light-headed and I didn't know what happened next.

♡♥♡

"I will go to the border and fix everything for our clans to prosper." Mother said as she got in the car and set off.

Those were her last words to the young me eight years ago.

Before she could set foot on the border, the car exploded into bits. She left me and my dad in that instant. Investigators told us that it wasn't an accident but they can't point fingers especially against the Vampire clan my mother was meeting. But I know the vampires have something to do with it.

All the warmth and smiles she had showed me disappeared.

♡♥♡

I opened my eyes and realized I was in my room. The double king sized bed with a walk-in closet to the right and the main door in the left. The bathroom door also in the left. I rub my eyes after realizing they went wet after remembering mom. I got up and saw my luggages outside my closet. I ran to the closet and saw it was empty with the hangers left hanging.

"Princess." I was surprised when my personal maid appeared. "I'm sorry for already putting your stuff inside your bag without your approval. I just followed his highnesses order.

How could it slip my mind when we were just talking about it. My own father sold me, his own daugther, to be the wife of one of the Vampire King's son. He sold me thinking of the people and the land!

It's not fair!

"Where's my father?" I sat on my bed watching the maid finish the packing for me.

"He's currently on a meeting with some almost bankrupt organizations. I believe they're badly asking his highness for support."

"And everyone will do the voting for me to be sold and all." I wrap my arms together sighing.

She kneeled to me holding my hand warmly. "If your mother were here then she would think of another method in a way to also fix the clans and bring them together. Isn't it right my lady?"

I sighed. "She'd probably... But she's long gone... I don't know what to do now."

"Well... what if you see it in another way?" Her answer intrigued me to think deeper. What other way did she mean? For me to think of the people who will lose jobs and won't survive in the border or deny the marriage? There was a knock on the door and my dad's secretary who's my uncle came in.

"The voting has been conducted princess." He announced.

My heart sank thinking of the result though it was pretty obvious already. "The human representatives agreed for you to be united with one of the Vampire King's sons. The other clan will pick you up by dusk princess. I shall escort you later."

"And.. my father?" I ask reluctantly.

"He is inside his study room princess. A note saying do not enter is posted by the door." So he still prefered to work than to say a goodbye to me after he sold me?

How SWEET!

"So I'll leave in about... four hours?" My uncle nodded.

"Can I be alone for the remaining hours?" They nodded and left the door. I went to the veranda and the flowers were blooming prettily. I love their scent so much that it helps me calm down... but not today. I utterly hate vampires and I don't think it would change.

I watch the TV and my departure had become a big topic for the headlines already. The media were by the main gate and trying to get in but it would be impossible.

Time ticked fast as I realize there was only an hour left, the maid returns and told me to take a bath before departure. I did as she told me.

I wore a fitted white tube dress with red laces enveloping my tiny waist and tied my dark brown hair in a simple pony tail with a black bow. I may be a princess but this isn't the century where everyone still wears gowns and tuxedos in a casual day. We do wear them but only in parties and social events. Today was different...

I'm going to be used as a material contract to get things both parties want.

What the hell will happen to me now?!
