Kristen enjoys her new life as a queen. She's happy with her love, William, by her side and the devotion of her people. Life seems almost normal.
One cloudy day in the shade, Kristen and William enjoyed watching the jousting competitions.
Everyone seemed to be having fun, and the sun didn't bother Kristen much since she was in her royal stand, but it made her a little hot and thirsty.
It wasn't nothing for Kristen to go to anyone to get a drink. Everyone was used to it. She didn't hurt anyone and never drank too much. So Kristen heads over to a girl named Lisa. She's not a regular at court, but that didn't stop Kristen from approaching the girl. "I'm feeling a little parched. I need you to let me bite you and get some blood." This caught Lisa off guard since she didn't know much about Kristen's curse. Lisa jumped back and yelled at Kristen.
Lisa gave the queen an evil look. "I'm not going to let you bite me, queen, or not!" she exclaimed.
"Who do you think you are in my kingdom? I never hurt anyone, but when I want something, I will get it. How dare you refuse me!"
This infuriated the queen. She started to hiss and bare her fangs at Lisa and was ready to attack when William ran over to Kristen before she lost control. He persuaded Kristen to come inside the castle with him.
"Please be the kind and loving queen that I love. I know she meant no harm. Not everyone knows about you like we do," he explained to her.
Kristen smiled at him. "See, this is why I love you, William. You know and accept me for who I am. You are always in my heart."
William lifts Kristen into his arms, and they head to the bed to spend some alone time together.
As William drifted off to sleep, Kristen continued to lay there hungry. She couldn't sleep and had to get up.
A weak and hungry Kristen heads down the castle corridor to find someone she can drink from.
It just so happened that Paul was down in the kitchen, getting a late-night snack.
"Paul, please come outside with me. I need you!" Kristen gently sank her teeth into Paul's arm and took only what was needed to take the pain away. Paul didn't seem to mind. He was still quite taken with Kristen. He knew this would please her. After Kristen was finished, she headed to bed before William woke up.
She gently climbed into bed, and William was exactly how she had left him. He never even knew she was gone.
While Kristen was still asleep, her lady tracks down the girl Lisa, that offended the queen yesterday at the jousting event. "Oh my, you have got yourself into a lot of trouble. The queen was ready to kill you until William calmed her down."
"What do you mean? I have done nothing wrong. Oh, wait! You mean by me not letting that queen of yours bite me. I take offense to that myself. I will never let her do that to me. She's a monster."
"I have warned you. She has this curse and has to survive on human blood, and you refused her. This is the first time anyone has ever done that. She's always gotten her way. We all do what she asks, and she treats us well in return. She has quite a temper. I would leave the court as soon as possible."
William knew Kristen craved blood and had to bite others to get what she needed to stay alive. This was the price of the curse. This saddened him every time she had to bite someone. He loved and feared her at the same time. He would do nothing to anger the queen. William didn't want to lose the queen's love for him.
"William, I can sense something is wrong. I can read your mind. You are my only true love. I will always be with you. Don't worry about this curse. I will never hurt anyone."
Kristen embraces William and kisses him. She felt his worries melt away.
This was very enticing for Kristen to hear. William pledged his undying love to her. She gently bit his neck and drank a small amount of his blood. She knew she would never find anyone else that she preferred more.
