Snippet #1591592

Alexandrea had rather enjoyed the kiss that had shown her father, and even her sister, that his reign had definitely come to an end. Ibram's sudden gasp of pain and the sight of the silver-tipped bolt causing her eyes to widen in shock as she had tried to hold him up. Unfortunately, the smell and sight of the blood caused her pale blue irises to change to a blood red, matching her dress, as her fangs elongated. She bit them into her bottom lip as she forced herself to release him before she accidentally hurt him worse.

At the sound of a groan Alexandrea's worried eyes turned from her fiance, who was now laying on the ground, to the Vampire Guard who now held a crossbow with a wooden bolt aimed right at her. She almost smiled at the irony and just as it was fired she moved at the last possible instant to dodge it and made sure to stay at his side.

The Vampire Princess, who had now returned to normal, sat beside her fiance and held his hand tightly as her eyes flicked from each person who came nearby. Whenever her gaze came upon Ibram she tried to muster all the love in her eyes as well as hide her fear for him, regardless of being told he would be alright.

When Carmen came, Alexandrea almost breathed a sigh of relief at the sound of the woman's voice. Strangely, as she had only said a very little to her, it had comforted the younger female tremendously and she looked to her with a small and somewhat forced smile on her lips. Though her words came out quiet and careful. Pleading.

" Don't leave."
