11 Still not enough to beat you!

On hearing Lord Valdimir's words, I felt a little bit confident. I looked at the camera and then smiled. After few clicks of pictures Lord Valdimir started to walk into the hall and he gently brought me with him. When we went further into the hall, I saw some familiar faces and many unfamiliar faces.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Lets welcome the stars of the show! Major Charles Thomas Cullen and Beauty Olivia Marlyn Cullen", Lord Raphael said with utmost pride and joy.

"Olivia Marlyn Cullen

Female - Vampire

1 st daughter of Richard"

Everyone's eyes were focused on the entrance of the hall. Suddenly temperature in the hall fell. A familiar silhouette were visible. As they moved towards the hall a young man wearing navy blue suit looking crisp and cold walked in holding a lady of light blonde hair wearing a grand gown with silver colour stones works embossed on a navy blue gown with off shoulder neck.

The lady had her hair tied in a messy bun while the bun was decorated with silver flowers. When she smiled the temperature in the hall raised like a sun shining during day. No words to describe her beauty everything she wore looked like made for her. She was like a painting. Lord Charles had stern look in his face while Lady Olivia smiled like a flower blooming.

All the cameras kept clicking and there was a big round of applause and congratulatory words given by others. After everyone graced the occasion, the party started. Everyone went to the couple and congratulated them.

Lady Rachael walked towards me, I smiled at her. "See! I told you right, diamond blond suits you better. You don't have to be someone else Elly. You look more lively and lovely this way. I couldn't stop praising you. You are who you are", Lady Rachael said to me while smiling and pulled to me corner.

Her words surprised me. These were the same words what Haru said me once. Could they have talked behind my back. But without my help he can't enter this realm. Seriously, I am so grateful for her words. I smiled gladly at her and said, "Thank you, Rachael"

"What are you girls whispering at the corner? anything about me?", Lord Raphael talked to us while he raised eyebrow and grinning at us and bringing two glasses of wine in his hands. We both looked at each other smiling and looked at him. On chorus we said, "Definitely not!!"

He gave us an helpless look and pretended to be angry. Lady Rachael went towards him, roughed his hair with a smile and took those glasses from him. She gave me a glass, the I picked the glass from her hand. She looked confused, I raised one eyebrow and said, "Don't forget that you are pregnant. The evening has just started, you will have plenty of situations where you should drink more wine and don't run around."

She was astonished at my words and she raised her both hands and said, "Yes Mademoiselle!" Then we three laughed together. A lady in light green gown full sleeved with boat neck and shining stones embedded in her dress while her dress hugging her body with brown hair flustering walked towards us. She had nude lipstick in her lips with light make up and golden eyes she looked like an elegant lady.

"Its nice to meet you Rachael and Raphael and.... Elizabeth", she said with a smile. Before I could say anything, Lady Rachael spoke for the rest of us while smiling back, "The pleasure is ours, Rebecca", I nodded at her with a smile. She is the sister of Lady Olivia. I was given thorough education for the past week about each and every family members their occupations, etc. etc.

"Rebecca Marlyn Cullen

Female - Vampire

3rd daughter of Richard

Researcher"

I just noticed something everyone is addressing each other on first name basis while they are addressing me with my middle name. Are they feeling uncomfortable with me being Claire. Should I ask them? But I feel like I'm pushing my luck. While I was thinking about this, I heard a familiar voice.

"Hey Beautiful! Always the star of the show ah?", when that guy finished his sentence, I was pretty sure who it is.

"Still not enough to beat you though!", I turned around while replying his question with a grin.

Jacob was wearing a black suit with while shirt inside. He looked smart and handsome in those attire. His Hazel colour eyes shone brightly and looked clear. His copper brown hair was bouncing when he walked towards me.

"You...", he came to me and gave me a hug. Even though I felt many eyes on me, I didn't push him but waited for him to retreat still he smelled horrible. He released me from his hug in a minute.

Suddenly I had vision. Jacob was beaten to blue, he looked like he was tortured. He had wounds all over his body and bleeding heavily. Suddenly a man came in front of him gave him a heavy slap. He looked like he was enjoying a show. There was numerous dead bodies around them, lots of spiders were feeding on them. Even though the face of the guy was a blur, it looked like he was spider demon. His hand transformed suddenly into spider leg, he striked straight through the heart of Jacob.

The vision shaded off, when I gained my consciousness I felt dizzy. I lost the strength in my legs, before I could collapse someone holded me. When I turned to look it was Lady Sonja. I forced myself to stay awake. In an annoyed and stiff tone Lady Sonja said, "Don't push yourself. Even though you are strong, your body needs more time to adapt."

She helped me to get a seat. Rachael took my hand and checked my wrist. She scanned me with her eyes, he has the eyes of Dragon. That was her birth gift, she can scan anything more like see through to particular distance. That was one of the reasons she became a doctor.

She was so serious at first and then she relaxed and said, "You have used up lots of energy that's why you feel weak. You have to feed now then you will be alright."

I was stunned on seeing her say as a matter of fact,

feed?

at this place???.....
