the King and me.

Finally, today is the day I get to play the King's shadow. The vampire king is back and is pretty upset about an attack on his household. While he's yelling at the other kings, I am hanging out with the guards outside. Jordan is in the trees nearby keeping an eye out for both "You got a cigarette I can bum from you?" the vampire near me asks.

"It's not tobacco," I warn her.

"Jesse," she holds out her hand.

"Pricilla," why is that the first name that popped into my head? I take her hand and offer her my lighter.

Jesse is a tiny thing compared to me. She has to be five four or five, but her eyes give away what she is. A fire elemental. Her dark eyes glisten like molten lava. She's Sporting a buzz cut and can see the beautiful reds and yellows of the dragon head tattooed on her scalp. When she takes a rip of the joint she looks back toward the entrance of the council and I see there's more ink down her neck going into her leather jacket.

"You're interesting to look at," she says looking back at me.

"You cut your hair like that to show off your ink or because you burn it off?" I shoot back.

She laughs flashing me her fangs. Aristocrats always have flashy jewels adorning their teeth. I want that now that my fangs are as visible as they are. It's very pretty.

"A little of both," she smirks.

God, she is rocking the shit out of that black lipstick and the black and red smokey eye. She offers me the joint and I decline trying my best not to stare at her nonexistent eyebrows. It's bold and a little intimidating.

"If I wanted to kill you, you'd be dead. Not here bitching," the King growls. I jump down when Jesse appears beside her King.

releases his wings using them to put him back on his feet. "Don't," the King places his big ass hand on my head to keep me from moving. "You deserved that. What the fuck are you doing?" he asks the vampire king. "You're not going to like the response you're trying for, Borigard. Put those away and check on the girl," "You're telling me what to do now?"

She's a hot redhead in boho-style clothing and she looks more annoyed than worried. Her big green eyes move to me and she smiles. The vampire King listens and puts his wings away. He goes over to Jesse to check to see if she's alive. I watch as he pricks his finger
