1 Short Story #1 - Cecil, My Love

"Cecil, my knight; don't leave me on that dragon of yours which you fly the skies with…"

this was the first sentence of the first short story i told Queen Victoria on our wooden boat, she responded with a happy smile, assuming she was excited for the rest of the story, since she was ill and was about to die, she wanted to hear my last stories, i was old, like her, and was about to die too, but our last wish was to travel Britain with our little ship, i continued…

"I won't cause any trouble for you now, my love, can't you see me suffer through the pain and agony you make me go through as you leave for the unknown castle,"

as Agatha wrote on her little paper book and her feather pen, as she left to drink her glass of medicine, her sickness made her weak, while nobles were using her and her status in the royal family as a princess to manipulate her, she was well aware of that, but at that time, she was a hopeless romantic, she was weak, unable to defend herself, even if she tried to, her parents were too busy with the war going on between England and Scotland, her only happiness, the only one who kept her sane was the main knight general, Cecil the Third, she couldn't even concentrate on her studies because of the daydreaming that she always endures because of that cavalryman, her parents, of course tried to make her study her astrology, religious and all of her studies and classes, but all her grades were worse and worse, weeks and weeks did the royalty try to make her blonde beautiful blue eyed face study but she couldn't, the maids could even see the face of Cecil in her eyes. After several protestations from Agatha wanting to see the knight, she now could see Cecil once a day, gift from the mistress after several handmade clothing from the young princess, while sneaking up to the young man, she heard him say horrible things such as :

 "Princess Agatha is so naive, she really thinks i love her", or, "Madam the Queen Abigail payed me with 100 gold coins so i can pretend to love her" while laughing…

Agatha was devastated, hearing those mean words, crying and not knowing what to do in the corner of behind the wall where the knights were having a discussion, she rushed to her mother's bedroom and found her lay down on the floor of the bedroom with a huge wound and her mistress holding a bloody knife, while looking really scared, the crying mistress screamed at the top of her lungs :

"Agatha! Get me your medicine now!"

Agatha, confused, just rushed to her room and saw Cecil blocking her, while he said charmingly :

"Hello, Agatha, do you want to take a horse ride with me?"

However, even if she saw the dream of her life happen right in front of her eyes, she hurried past him and jumped to her bed, despite that, she ran into an obstacle, the general obstructed her and she fell right into the floor of her comfortable bedroom, when she got up, Agatha sped into her drawer, took her medicines, but again, Cecil, the annoyed young man, made her stop and started trying to kiss her, she backed out, thinking he would abuse her, while calling security, she walked up to her mother's bedroom, but no one was there, not even the body of the queen, until realizing that she was alone with the young horseman, her heart pounding, she was very nervous, scared and surely wanting to escape this wicked castle, but now she knew she could only hide, she ran, hid into her wooden closet and started crying, not knowing what to do, until suddenly, a red haired man, with a black hat, and blue cape, came and opened the closet, taking out a bag and putting the princess in it, knocked Agatha out and said :

"Your parents should have never provoked us…" before the young blonde fainted…

After analyzing his clothing, Agatha guessed they were from the Kingdom of Scotland, she saw herself into a room, and saw a beautiful prince, with brown beautiful long hair, stunning emerald green eyes, and knew it was the room of the famous scottish prince, Baird of Scotland, as she was admiring the young duke, her eyes lit up as he expressed his gratitude for her being here, by asking to marry her, she was shaken up, she never got a marriage demand from a such important graded-man, hoping this will build a better relationship with her home country, England, and the prince's home country, Scotland, she agreed, and there they were, in the royal scottish church, as the priest announced that they were officially married, and finishing the ceremony with a kiss in the cheek, and the Scot horsemen arriving with the most beautiful carriage directed to the scottish royal castle, never would she ever think that she was in a carriage with a prince, as he smiled with his eyes directed towards her, she desperately tried to start a conversation with him, but in vain, because of her shyness, but even with that, she still thought about Cecil, the beautiful blue-eyed blonde cavalryman, seeing Agatha distracted thinking of someone, he asked out of curiosity jokingly : 

"Is my lady thinking of someone ?"

when she responded with a surprised and quite scared smile, she started to laugh hysterically, arriving to the prince's room, Agatha sees four other women, all with red eyes, meaning that a third-eyed vampire bit them, but as Agatha turns to the distracted prince, she sees the delicate scar on his forehead, she immediately understands, that, she will soon be under the prince's control, as the women and the prince suddenly smile with their two sharp canins, the prince's third eye opens, a blue eye with a thin line as a pupil, the only way to become a third eye vampire, is getting bitten by two third-eyed vampires, as Baird the royalty, jumps on her, she sees all her world stop as she sees a strong hand stopping the duke, Cecil, came to rescue the princess, but despite all his efforts, the prince succeeds to bite the young English countess, so there is only one way, to rescue her, Cecil bites her neck a second time a few seconds after the first time, she gained immortality, yes, but can never enjoy the flavors of feelings and humanity, but for a last feeling, she kisses Cecil, as her last emotion, she wants to feel love.
