Underneath the coldness of my skin

[MATURE THEMES] Never in her life had Celeste thought of waking up in the middle of the night at the horrendous screams of her parents nor finding out the man she had loved to her bone would do the dreadful deed of assisting his dad in killing her parents in the greed of power and wealth.  The grief and heartbreak she had gone through was one of hell and seeing the facade of her ex-partner's father falling before her feet the next night trapped inside the walls of her chamber when he tried to assault her was frighteningly alarming which left her with no way but to flee the Kingdom she grew up in. The palace where she only had the best of memories until that unfortunate night when she unwillingly had to let go of the people who gave birth to her. Who she loved to death.  Then again, never in her life had Celeste thought there will be a moment she will be brought to the kingdom of Elyznh— which she heard about a lot but didn't though one day she will be setting foot there and living a life pretending to be a human when the blood flowing inside her nerves were pure Vampire— living with werewolves nor falling in love with a werewolf. Her secret is her's only, and when she dies it will become mere ashes as she is and rose in the sky, until then no one needs to know.

Caught being sneaking out at the middle of the night.

"Lady Celeste!" The guard calls out, eyes widening in surprise.

"What?" The guard standing beside him asks, perplexed.

"Lady Celeste." He replies, eyes still stuck on where he had spotted her a second ago. "I saw Lady Celeste." He whispers as he keeps looking into the darkness, she is nowhere to be found, no trace of her.

"Who is Lady Celeste?" A voice comes from his side and he turns his head to meet the guard's confused gaze.

"Prince Eylin's new concubine." He says, providing the answer for the guard. He feels uneasiness rising from inside his stomach seeing her here at this hour of night. No one goes out at this time. Why would they? And what would have possibly made them go outside at this moment of the night, if it's not ill intended?

"New?" The guard huffs out a laugh. "Did he really need a new one? How did he manage to fit in one more?" The surprise and disbelief is evident in the tone of his voice.
