Between 🌙Night and Day☀️

Masquerade

Tonight was the masquerade dance at the mansion for all vampires to come. Adrien was not looking forward to this because he knew his father was trying to make him pick a vampire bride. They all may be pretty but he's not into them, especially when they try to get very sexually attracted to him. For the masquerade, Adrien wore a simple opera mask with a cape and fancy suit. Not caring how he looks in his lack of reflection, he has to defend himself from his father pressuring him. This isn't the life he chose but the life to be free.

"Worst day ever," Adrien thought.

"More like the worst night ever, my dude. Your father had to invite a mummy that can also blend in like a human" Nino said.

"What?" Adrien raised a brow.

"Hello there" A mummified Egyptian queen appeared, noted by her headwear it was Cleopatra.

"Hey Cleopatra," Adrien said.

"You look familiar. Have we met?" Cleopatra asked.

"No. And you haven't looked decayed enough" Adrien said, judging how she looked almost human by the skin tone but she had mummified bandages on her chest and arms.

"Just my luck," Cleopatra said.

"In over 5,000 years dead" Adrien rolled his eyes.

"Actually over 2000 years for me," Cleopatra said.

"And the last and only Egyptian ruler that came to an end," Adrien said, drinking a glass of blood.

"Everyone says I took my life but they were wrong," Cleopatra said.

"Whatever. I'm not into royalty but independence. If you'll excuse me, I have a masquerade duty to do. You're lucky I can't bite a mummy because your blood is very dry like sand" Adrien said.

"Only dust remains, Adrien," Cleopatra said.

Adrien may know her from the store but obviously, she has no manners in everything, "Why blend in with the human world?" Adrien asked.

"I love their style," Cleopatra said.

"Just don't think you're not alive," Adrien said, heading downstairs to the lobby, "She's still snotty as ever," He said.

"So handsome"

"So sexy looking"

"Be mine, Agreste"

But Adrien ignored them. The only thing he can't ignore is their sexual desires. Lucky for him as a vampire, he's never had sexual desires. So far Marinette was his friend. She's nothing like those vampire girls.

He saw Felix walking with an Asian-looking vampiress. He sighed in relief when he thought it was Marinette but it wasn't her. She had a different hairstyle too. His father was still pressuring him to choose but Adrien still refused to pick since he rather has a wooden stake stabbed in the heart.

"Son, you need to choose," Gabriel said.

"And I don't want to," Adrien said, muttering in Latin, "Ego magis nunc confodietur" which means "I rather be stabbed right now"

"Don't say that, son" Gabriel said.

"Tum me vivam inmortuam vitam" Adrien said, translating as "Then let me live my own undead life"

"It's for your own good" His father persisted.

"For my own good? For my own torture or for your own future you wanna make?" Adrien growled.

Gabriel glared at him but Adrien was much stronger with his stare intensity.

"You win for now," Gabriel said.
