Vampire Chronicles

Chapter 26

The night was cold and chilly yet very sweet. The wind blew lightly giving Nicole gooseb.u.mps under her skin. Charles rubbed her hands together giving her some warmth.

"Sorry that we have to wait like this in the cold darling." Charles takes off his jacket as he places it over her shoulders. Nicole gave him a worried; she takes of her scarf placed it grounded her neck.

"Thank you your jacket so I shall return the favor to you." Nicole said at him as she smiled at him giving a kiss in the cheek. They was a hour early to the theater so Nicole wouldn"t have to worry finding a seat. Leading Charles to wait until the theater opened for him an herself to go in.

"Nicole do you remember my warning I told you about?" Charles said as he gripped her waist gently.

"About the Court correct?"

"Indeed my love, you will have to keep on the low when your around me....it"s dangerous for any vampire to be around a human. Lord Vicar was with a mortal at the time he considered a friend noah. Lord Vicar isn"t the type to just get alone with everyone but he was resemblance of his mother so people worshiped him as their king. Until one day the Court came to the cloud kingdom and  killed mortals who was with vampires or I could say had relationships with them. Sadly Lord Vicar lost his friend that same day; he told me about keeping humans with no contact with Vampires when they are around us purebloods. I want you to know this only for your safety, you will have to pretend as if you don"t know me when the court gets here. I might treat you differently so please don"t think lightly of it."

Nicole in nodded slowly at his words as the theater doors open letting them both in. She became frightened by the courts power towards all the kingdom"s keeping vampires/humans on the look out for them. Why did the court despise humans an vampires being with eachother ; is it such a sin?

Charles lets go of her waist as she was told that he had to get ready for the play he so desires to play. Nicole walked into the theater seating area seeing lots on humans and vampires among themselves, she found this quite entertaining. They are all able to Co-exist with eachother.

Nicole sat in the balcony so she could see Charles in action. Though she dislike him being in character for such amount of time. Was it really true, or was it the fact that Charles was being watched by the court. Nicole felt someone sit right next to her as she turned her head she saw lord Vicar in a fancy suit with a small little girl in his arms.

"h.e.l.lo there Ms.Nicole, I guess you have come to see Charles play. I wonder what type of emotion he is going to give to the audience. My friend Charles has always been a  good actor even back when we was younger. Oh I forgot to mention the young little lady sitting in my lap; her name is scarlet I am her cousin though she is a very feisty thing. I am very glad that she is asleep right now ; she is a spoiled child but someone has correct her bad behavior. "


"I guess you are right Lord Vicar, I am very excited to see Charles in his play today! I hope he does his very best ; I believe in him.  Scarlet is very cute especially with her cute pink-tails."

Nicole slightly touched Scarlet"s bouncy hair with her finger laying with her natural black curls giving off a shining texture.

"Oh wow....her hair is so shiny..."

Nicole was amazed by the Scarlet"s glowing appearance though she is small. Lord Vicar smiled at her thought so he thought maybe he could give her a little lecture about vampires after the play of course.

The curtain started to rise as she saw a glance of Charles wearing clothing that seemed a bit old fashioned. Charles sways sitting a chair along with those around him, men an women talking about humans and vampires Co-existing with eachother. Nicole couldn"t help but glance at everyone about their complex bueaty which many of the audience applauded for which was a bit odd for her in a play. She never been to a play before so she didn"t know how to act or what to do, she guessed maybe she should follow the crowd. Lord Vicar whispered in her ear saying " When you are at a play milady you applaud at a end of a "Act" like they say Nicole."

"Oh I see, thank you but what is this play about Lord Vicar..."

"Why don"t you read the piece paper in your hand it will give you surely enough information than I can give you."

Nicole looked down at the paper seeing the people who  the characters the play along with the plot. Nicole glanced up seeing Charles just staring at her as if he could take her soul away.  Lord Vicar nudged her shoulder with a wink as she covered her face in embarra.s.sment. Scarlet tapped Nicole shoulder as she looked up seeing the little girls face smile with her tinted cheeks.

"h.e.l.lo lady Scarlet was your sleep pleasant? "

"Indeed it was thank you Mrs.Nicole. I hope you are enjoying the play so far!! Sorry I am very hungry at the moment so I need some of your delicious blood to satisfy me Milady..." Scarlet eyes turned red as Lord Vicar placed his hand over her mouth excusing himself from causing a scene in the theater. Luckily they where up in balcony.

"I must go Nicole enjoy the play my dear friend."

Lord Vicar left in hurry as Charles left the stage, Nicole felt disappointed not being able to see Charles fully in action she bet he was wonderful. She felt a cold hands over her shoulders as she looked up seeing Charles with his cold stare making her shake a little.

"You missed my part in the some of the acts darling. You talked rather a lot to lord Vicar. I thank you very much for coming at least. Do you find this play....fascinating..."

"I find this play very good, I am sorry I got distracted Charles...I really enjoyed the play so far!" Charles grabbed her face kissing her with all his might making sure not to leave a bruise on her lips but he was just to tempted at her. Nicole kissed back slightly giving a joyful expression that soothed her heart. Charles abruptly stopped kissing as he gave her a warm smile.

" I must go back on stage my part isn"t over yet...till later then. I was thinking maybe we can have a little a little bit of fun once the show ends..."Charles gave her a peak on the cheek as she vanished.

Nicole touched her lips her feeling a  slight bruise on the corner of her mouth seeing Charles eyes filled with l.u.s.t and desire piercing her soul as if she almost craved it. She managed to snap out of his l.u.s.tful stare and of course get back to watching the play which she so wanted to see since Charles invited her.

Nicole continued to watch the play it was rather fascinating she thought to herself. Though she wanted to see more of him perform that was sadly the last scene of his character. Nicole couldn"t help but clap. Charles appeared to her next sitting down as a maid stood beside him fanning his sweaty body. Nicole covered her face slightly letting her cheeks grow red from Charles appearance. His shirt was b.u.t.ton down exposing his toned body with his dark red eyes watching from above the balcony.

He suddenly grabbed her chair placing it right next to him.

"Sorry if I look like a mess dear, backstage is very...hot at the moment so I wanted to cool down with you."

"Oh okay Charles I understand. I like being with you so I don"t really have a problem with being with you. I feel protected...so I thank you for giving me such a wonderful life." Nicole smiled at him as he blushed slightly at her reply to him. Charles placed his hand on her thigh slightly rubbing it with his thumb.

Charles & Nicole enjoyed the time that they spent together,  wanting it to be forever but forever isn"t something that the court will see through.
