Vampire Queen : Fated Love

Chapter 11: Chapter 11 : Josh & Sarah First Date .



The next morning, the William House RTC Garden was alive with the gentle hum of activity. Birds chirped melodiously from the trees, and the scent of freshly cut grass hung in the air. Uncle Leo was back at his usual spot, pruning the rose bushes with precision, humming an old tune under his breath.

Josh spotted him from a distance, straightening his posture and steeling himself for another round of what he hoped wouldn't be rejection. He approached, hands stuffed in his pockets, his face a mix of determination and awkwardness.

"Uncle Leo," Josh greeted, his voice steady but firm.

Leo glanced up from his work, squinting slightly against the morning sun.

"Ah, Young Master Josh," he said with a smile. "Back again? Surely, you're not here just to admire my gardening skills."

Josh scratched the back of his neck.

"No, Uncle. You know why I'm here."

Leo chuckled, shaking his head as he set his shears aside.

"Ah, youth," he mused dramatically.

"Always so persistent, so impatient. Back in my day, we didn't need fancy numbers or gadgets to connect with someone. A simple face-to-face conversation was enough."

Josh frowned. — "Uncle, with all due respect, this isn't the 80s. Times have changed."

Leo held up a hand, cutting him off. —"Let me finish, young master. You see, love—or whatever this is—requires patience, understanding, and above all, respect. It's not something you can rush into with a few digits on a screen."

Josh sighed, clearly frustrated. "Uncle, I'm not asking for your advice on love or life right now. I just want her number. Please."

Leo stroked his chin thoughtfully, pretending to consider Josh's words.

"Hmm. Let me think... should I really give you my precious daughter's number? What if you're just another boy chasing fleeting infatuations? What if—"

"Uncle!" Josh interrupted, his voice slightly louder than intended.

"I'm serious about this. I wouldn't be here if I wasn't. Please."

Uncle Leo's face broke into a sly grin, and he reached into his pocket, pulling out a small piece of paper.

"All right, all right," he said, handing it over.

"Here you go. But remember, young master, if you hurt her, I'll personally ensure you regret it. Even gardeners have their ways."

Josh took the paper eagerly, barely hearing Leo's warning. He unfolded it, his heart pounding as he read the number aloud: "07XX-XXXXXX" ( a specific number format based on my preferences).

"Thank you, Uncle Leo," Josh said sincerely, clutching the paper like it was a treasure map.

Leo shook his head with a chuckle. "Good luck, boy. You're going to need it."

Leo through in his head — ' Sure my queen will avenge for her love . I am so proud of Queen"

Sarah lounged on the edge of her ornate bathtub, her damp hair cascading over her shoulders like a dark river. Her porcelain skin gleamed under the dim amber light of her luxurious home in Entropy. The towel wrapped loosely around her body was more of an afterthought, leaving her looking both regal and disarmingly human.

As the phone buzzed on the counter, her crimson eyes flickered to life. She reached for the device, her fingers brushing against it delicately, as though savoring the moment. The caller ID displayed a name she already knew.

Josh.

A slow, sinister smile crept across her lips. Of course, she had his number—and his father's, his siblings', even the family's landline. Her "father" had seen to that long ago. But this wasn't about them knowing. It was about control.

As her finger hovered over the answer button, fragments of her past rushed back like a blade tearing through her heart.

The screams.

The smell of burning flesh.

Josh's brother and Josh holding her hand . And then she escape. Later she heard gun shot( sound )

— Later she didn't even see her Beloved Body , Just to see his one of vampire Wing's.

And Josh, standing there, doing nothing, just watching. — *His Brother Eithan was Holding Gun*

✦ ( It's also confusing till now . She thinks Eithan was the one Who fire the Gun ) ✦

Her first love's body disappear, crumbling In Air, was seared into her mind.

Now, Day's later, the irony was delicious. The boy who had stood silent in her suffering was chasing her, clueless about the Queen's true identity.

The phone buzzed again, jolting her back. She answered it, her voice dripping with a sweetness so thick it could suffocate.

"Hello?," she purred, leaning back against the wall, the towel slipping slightly but remaining secure. "What a surprise , Young Master josh. I wasn't expecting a call from you."

Josh's voice was hesitant, almost nervous. "H-hey, Sarah. I hope I'm not disturbing you, & Stop calling me Young Master that's embrassing — Josh is enough"

"Oke Josh.. Disturbing me ,not at all," she replied, her tone honeyed but with an undercurrent that sent shivers through the air.

"In fact, you've caught me at the perfect time. I was just... reminiscing about the past."

There was a slight pause on the line. "The past?" Josh asked, his curiosity piqued.

"Mmm," she murmured, tilting her head as her expression darkened.

"Yes, the past. Funny how certain memories cling to you, isn't it? Like a shadow you can't escape."

Josh chuckled nervously, clearly trying to lighten the mood.

"Uh, yeah, I guess so. Anyway, I wanted to—"

"You know," Sarah interrupted, her voice soft but laced with venom, "I've been thinking about family lately. Yours, specifically. Such a loving family, aren't you?"

Josh blinked, confused. "Uh... yeah, I mean, we're close, I guess."

"How wonderful," Sarah cooed, twirling a strand of hair around her finger. "It must be nice to have a family that's... still intact."

Josh's breath hitched slightly, sensing something off. "Sarah, is everything okay?"

She laughed lightly, a sound both enchanting and unnerving. "Oh, Josh, you're so sweet. Always so concerned. But tell me, what did you want to talk about? I'm dying to know."

Josh hesitated, unsure if he should continue. "I just... I wanted to say that I really like you. I know it sounds sudden, but I felt something when I saw you at the party. I thought maybe we could, you know, get to know each other better."

Sarah's smile widened, revealing a hint of her fangs. "How adorable," she said, her voice dripping with mock sincerity.

"You like me, do you? Well, You just saw me while your are Drunk. In fact, I think you are more into girl's than you realize."

Josh exhaled in relief, not picking up on her double meaning.

"Really? That's Massive Lie , You know. I am Good person and a good guy. Maybe we can meet up sometime, right? "

"Then I can show you how awesome i really am "

"Oh Fine then, we'll meet, Josh," Sarah whispered, her tone darkening as her eyes gleamed with malevolence. "Sooner than you think."

As the call ended, Sarah lowered the phone slowly, her sweet facade melting away. Her lips curled into a cruel grin as she stared into the distance.

"This time, I won't just watch," she murmured to herself. "This time, you'll see what it's like to lose everything you love, Josh."

The room seemed to grow colder, the shadows deepening as Sarah prepared for the games to come. The Vampire Queen wasn't just seeking revenge. She was about to rewrite the rules, and Josh was her unwitting pawn.

During phone call Josh ask Sarah to go Like Walk , how At first friends Do . So they decide to go a certain area call " Tofel " where there massive rock, and building located. And there were many kind of Hotel there like Food , room etc.

Next day ( Josh Invite Sarah to go on walk )

In restaurants:

The restaurant was dimly lit, its ambiance cozy yet elegant. Candles flickered on each table, casting soft shadows, while a violinist played a soothing melody in the corner. The faint aroma of roses mixed with the savory scent of freshly prepared dishes. Josh sat nervously at their table, his fingers fidgeting with the edge of his napkin as he glanced at the entrance every few seconds.

When Sarah arrived, the room seemed to hush for a moment. She wore a sleek black dress that hugged her figure perfectly, her crimson lips curved into a sweet smile that hid the darkness lurking beneath. Her aura was magnetic, drawing every eye in the room toward her, yet she seemed utterly focused on Josh.

"Wow, Sarah," Josh stammered as he stood, nearly knocking over his water glass in the process.

"You look... I mean, you're... stunning. Like, goddess-level stunning."

Sarah chuckled softly, sliding into the seat across from him.

"You're too kind, Josh," she replied, her voice dripping with charm.

"Though I must admit, I enjoy the way you look at me. It's... satisfying."

Josh gulped, feeling the heat rise to his cheeks.

"Uh, well, it's hard not to look. I mean, you're so—uh—perfect, you know? Like... everything about you. Your eyes, your smile... the way you walk. It's like you're from another world or something."

Her eyes sparkled with amusement as she leaned in slightly, resting her chin on her hand.

"Another world, you say? That's quite the compliment. Perhaps I'll take you there someday... if you survive."

Josh blinked, confused but too enchanted to question her words.

"I'd go anywhere with you, Sarah. Like, literally anywhere. Even the moon, if you asked."

She giggled, the sound sweet yet unsettling.

"The moon? How romantic. And here I thought I'd have to drag you kicking and screaming. You're making this far too easy for me, Josh."

"Anything for you," he said quickly, his voice oozing sincerity.

"I mean it. Anything. Just say the word."

She tilted her head, watching him with an intensity that made him squirm slightly.

"Anything, hmm? That's quite the promise. Tell me, Josh, how far would you go to make me happy?"

Josh leaned forward, his face earnest.

"As far as it takes. I'd do anything to see you smile."

Her smile widened, a glint of something dangerous flashing in her eyes.

"Even if it meant giving up... everything?"

Josh hesitated, the weight of her words hanging in the air. But then he nodded, his infatuation drowning out any sense of caution.

"Yes. Even if it meant that."

She reached across the table, her fingers brushing against his hand. Her touch was cold, but he didn't seem to notice.

"You're such a sweet boy, Josh," she said softly, her tone laced with both affection and something darker.

"I almost feel guilty. Almost."

Josh's heart skipped a beat.

"Guilty? About what?"

"Oh, nothing," she replied with a smile that sent chills down his spine.

"It's just... I've never had someone so eager to... please me. It's refreshing."

Josh laughed nervously, trying to steer the conversation back to safer ground.

"Well, I'm glad I could be the first. So, uh, what do you think of this place? Pretty romantic, right?"

She glanced around, her eyes briefly scanning the other patrons before returning to him.

"It's lovely," she said sweetly.

"But you know what would make it perfect?"

"What?" he asked eagerly.

Her smile turned predatory as she leaned in closer, her lips brushing against his ear as she whispered, "If it were just the two of us. Alone. With no interruptions. Forever."

Josh shivered, the mix of excitement and unease making his pulse race.

"Th-that sounds... amazing. Yeah, I'd love that."

She pulled back, her expression softening into something almost innocent.

"I'm glad to hear that, Josh. You're making this... so much fun for me."

Josh's goofy grin returned as he stared at her, completely oblivious to the layers behind her words.

"Anything for you, Sarah. Anything."
