Demi was in her room, combing her lavishly long violet hair in the mirror. Her parents had told her to finish getting ready because they were having visitors.
Demi stood up from her seat and walked to her closet. She walked to the corner of her wall where she took her height measurements. The recent marking read 4"11. Couldn't expect much from a 12 year old. Demi sighed and walked over to her gowns and picked out a white and black dress with black buckled shoes.
She walked back out to her bed and laid down.

Hailduke was in a bad mood for a couple of reasons. One- He'd been forced to stop playing tag with a servant in the gardens, and two- he had to 'suit up'. That was the phrase his parent's used for getting dressed nice. Good collar. Long cape over one shoulder. Shiny boots. He hated it. At the age of 13 he wasn't thinking about formality, or what other people thought. He just wanted to be comfortable and these clothes weren't.
He was standing outside of the castle doors, where his parents had taken him. Apparently they were meeting their friends. Who also happened to be a royal family. Two royal families together.. Hailduke sighed.
One of the servants knocked on the door.

A long lacky man with blonde hair opened the door for the royal family. "Welcome" his voice boomed in the huge hollow cove. "Let me take your coats. The Coyne's are expecting you in the den."
~
There was a knock on Demi's door, "Miss, your mother told me to call you to the den now.." she waited for a few more seconds until she knocked again, "Miss?"
Demi was fast asleep on her huge bed.

King and queen Sai nodded. "Thank you." They were led to the den where the Coynes were awaiting their arrival. The king walked on ahead, with long determined strides, just behind the long man who answered the door. The queen followed with little footsteps.
Hailduke trailed behind them both, dragging his feet.

The queen was the first to spot the arriving family. She cleared her throat and the kind quickly turned away from the window and walked to stand beside his wife.
"She's not down.." she mumbled to her husband. The king smiled at the visitors and shifted around but didn't answer.
"Hello, Welcome to our humble abode!" The king said, walking to King Sai and shaking his hand. "I hope the trip wasn't too much of a hassle." He shook the queens hand as well and then to the young Hailduke.

King Sai and the Queen shook hands. "No hassle at all" He replied with a smile. "Hailduke.. Shake King Coynes hand.."
Hailduke looked up at the king in front of him. He seemed massive. As big as his dad. He didn't want to shake hands. Hailduke wasn't bothered about the royalty. He just wanted to explore this huge castle. Reluctantly seeing no way around it, he shook the kings hand and bowed. "Nice to meet you"

"Please call me Crius.." The king smiled. After shaking Hailduke's hand he ruffled up the young boy's hair. "He's grown up to be a young gentlemen."
The queen, Rhea, stepped beside her husband, "I think he gets his handsome looks from his father." she smiled at Hailduke. She looked up at the queen and gave her a hug, "Wonderful to see you again!" she exclaimed. "Demetria should be down any second." she smiled.
Crius walked over to the couches and sat down, "Please take a seat."

King Sai nodded. "And you can call me, Laiel." He held out his hand and Queen Rose came and sat next to him on the second couch. She looked over at Hailduke, who was staring at the ceiling. He had grown up in a castle and travelled to many more. But this one, was the biggest. He saw the old fireplace cracking away, burning through logs. As he was scanning his surroundings his eyes caught his mothers. She smiled. "Hailduke.. come and sit down.."
He nodded and walked over to a couch in between the two family's and sat on it.

Rhea sat beside her husband and smiled at Hailduke, "Why don't you go help yourself to whatever the cook set out in the kitchen." she said, her gaze going towards another hallway to the right of her.
ooc: I don't know what Vampires eat XD;;
~
Demi heard a constant knocking on her door and lightly fluttered her eyes open. She rubbed her eyes and realized that she had fallen asleep. She walked to the door and saw one of the maids on the other side, frantic. "Miss, the arrivals are here.."

ooc: Me neither!
Hailduke nodded to Queen Rhea. He stood up and walked into the corridor to the right and through to the kitchen.
It was set out in a very old and traditional style. Huge plates filled with fruit and vegetables of all different colours, variety and textures. A roasted turkey lay in the centre, still piping hot from the oven.
Less obviously placed however, was the real centre part of the vampires meal. 6 Large glasses. And sitting in at the back of the table, was a bowl filled with a dark red substance. Hailduke looked at everything.. and then reached over and took an apple. He bit into it.

Demi stretched and nodded sleepily. She walked down the long hallway from her room to the spiral staircase leading downstairs. Her steps were so light they couldn't be heard in her huge home. She was walking towards the den when heard something in the kitchen. She furrowed her brows and walked the opposite direction and stuck her head out from the corner of the doorway.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing?" She exclaimed, appalled at he was eating her apples.

Hailduke turned around suddenly, with a mouth full of apple. A girl around his age was standing in the doorway. She looked pretty mad. She obviously wasn't a slave. She was way too pretty to him to be a slave. And she'd said he'd been eating her apples. Servants didn't have their own apples. He waited until his mouth was empty and then spoke.
"The Queen said I should come in here and help myself to whatever food was out.." He said both curious and cautious..

Demi huffed and walked over to the boy, her hands on her hips. She was slightly shorter then he was but inched her face closer to his, her eyes narrowed. "How do I know you're not a thief?"

Hailduke thought for a moment. He inched his face closer to the girls. "How do I know you're not?"

Demi narrowed her eyes even more and a low growl escaped her lips.
"Miss.." The maid's voice called from behind them. Demi jumped from surprise and hit her forehead against Hailduke's. "Ow.." She rubbed her forehead and looked at the maid, annoyed. "Your wanted in the den." Demi huffed and walked out of the kitchen having one last glare at Hailduke.
Queen Rhea stood up from the couch, "Demetria, darling!" she exclaimed cheerily. Demi winced from her mother's shrilly voice. "Greet your guests, hunny"
