Betty felt her mouth turn dry and fear quickly envelope her body, her eyes narrowed as the butler handed something over to Lord DarianShe gasped. It was the poison"Come out" Darian's cold voice erupted in the living room and the maids could feel the tension rising in the air "Come out while I'm still being nice, don't make me fish you out"Betty eyes narrowed at him, she was scared to death. If she steps out, then she was done for but if she doesn't and he brings her out himself...it would be worse"Don't make me repeat myself" his red eyes observed the maids expression, they held confusion. But one looked frightened and sweat glided down her faceBetty thought of stepping out but before she could take any action, a strong force pulled her forward and she landed on her knees... before Lord DarianHer eyes snapped up at him, she had no idea what had happened but she found herself kneeling before him"I-I'm so sorry, L-lord D-darian...p-please have mercy" she immediately pleaded, she c
Betty was shocked, she didn't know it has such drastic effectsShe had no other words to plea for her life to be spared "It's only fair if I deliver the same treatment to you" Darian said, twirling the cup in his hand "Drink it"Betty eyes widened and tears flowed down, she shook her head"Don't make me wait" Darian said, his eyes getting darker by each passing second "L-lord Darian, ple-""DRINK IT!" This time, his voice came out unusually loud and the maids could feel the temperature dropHer lips quivered as her shaky hands reached over to take hold of the cupShe took the cup and glanced at the liquid inside, she knew she was done forThe maids were anxious at what was going to happen if Betty was to drink from the teaBetty inhaled sharply and then looked at Harmony with pleading eyes but Harmony looked down at her feet, she was helpless at the momentShe placed the cup down and shook violently, she couldn't do it. She didn't want to die yet"Lennox, why don't you help her out"
Anna stood by the window as she glanced at the tall trees in the forest, she had been kept in the room for so long that she was tiredShe heard the sound of a carriage and when she looked down, she saw Samael getting on the carriage and it rode away"He's out..." she murmured to herself and walked towards the door. Her hands reached the doorknob but it was locked"What can I do?" she said to herself, going to sit on the bed. She sat for a while and then glanced at the blanket. A silly idea forming in her headShe then picked up the blanket and tied it with several others, making it long enough to climb down the window...Harmony placed three soft knocks on the hard door but got no response. She knocked again but still no replyHer hands then reached over to the doorknob and surprisingly, it was opened"M-master Darian" she called, peeking her head in at first and then the rest of her body. The room was dark with no visible light except the one illuminating from the moonHarmony could
"I-I'm the reason you got injured, if you want to... I-I won't stop you" Samael stared at her with an unknown look. She was willingly offering her blood to him, but not because she wanted to...but because she felt guilty that he had gotten hurt"Oh really? You won't stop me?" he asked, moving closer to where she knelt. His hands draped round her waist and he shoved her towards him "I'm so thirsty...I could end you this instant" her eyes went agape hearing what he said "It seems you're so desperate to get bitten by me...again""I'm not" she retorted almost immediately "I'm only doing it-""Out of guilt?" he cut in "Forget it, I don't intend on getting my mouth soiled tonight""You-my blood is not that...bad " she spoke softly"Says who? You're not the vampire here" he then stood up and offered her his hand. She placed her hand in his and stood up but she felt a pang under her feet and she staggeredSamael was quick and caught her in his arms"What is it?""My feet, it hurts" Samael the
With Anna on his back, Samael walked inside the mansion with the maids closing the door from behindCuriosity danced in their eyes as they glanced at each other, they wondered who the lady wasAnna kept her head down as Samael went up the grand stairsSamael opened the door with his side and stepped inside the room. He placed her on the bed and went towards the bathroomHe came back with a bowl of water and he placed it below her feet. Softly, he took her leg and dipped it in the water"Ouch..." Anna winced when the cold water came into contact with her feet. Samael washed both her feet and afterwards, wiped it clean with a towelPlacing the bowl aside, he rummaged through the drawer and brought out an ointmentAnna watched his every movement with soft eyes, no one has ever cared for her this way before, she was flushedSamael sat besides her on the bed and placed her leg on his lap. He gently applied the cream on the wound evident under her feet"This is what happens when you try to e
."He is not in a relationship. Samael, what is the meaning of all these? Don't you dare drag the Hawstrone's family name to the ground because of some filthy woman. I won't allow it, you will only be with Genevieve""I have had enough of you and your daughter. Don't you dare try to control me, I have my own life and I am to decide who I want to be with" Lady Shirley's eyes widened, her son had never spoken to her in such a manner before"Samael, you're speaking rudely to mum because of some human? I'll have her dragged down here an-""Go on, Sarah. If you dare" he cautioned coldly "If you so much as to lay a finger on her, I won't guarantee you'll live to see daylight""Samael-" shock was written all over Sarah's face as she watched Samael exit the dining"Mum-" Lady Shirley raised her hand, signalling Sarah to keep quiet"I'm so sorry you had to witness this, Genevieve. Why don't you drop by another time, all these would have been resolved by then""Yes, Lady Shirley. Please, excuse
Alan watched from the side of the hallway as Darian exited Harmony's room. He nodded in realization that Harmony was of some importance to the Lord"She can definitely be of some use" he said to himself before walking away.Anna awoken from the sharp rays of the sun seeping in through the curtain. She stretched her limbs and slowly sat upShe moved over to the window and opened the curtains. Her eyes nearly flew out of its socket when she saw the window tightly jammed with several woods from the outside"What the-" she almost cursed when the room door opened. Samael stepped into the room, dressed in his royal attire "What is this?""What is what?" he asked, acting to be oblivious to what she was talking about "Why is the window jammed?" she pointed out"To keep you from escaping, we wouldn't want last night incident to repeat itself now, would we?""The room's going to be hot with the window like this""Oh...then you could come to my room, there's more than enough space for two""No
"Lord Darian!" Alan roared and he stood dangerously close to her. Harmony was confused as well as shocked at what he was saying"I-What do I have to do in all this?" she questioned"You...I can see how close you are to him, there's no doubt he'll come to save you" he said with all certainty"W-what if he doesn't come to save me? What then?""Oh...he will come, I've heard your history"History?"What happened to the Duke after he tried to lay his hands on you, I know Lord Darian killed him" what he said had her eyes widen in surprise"H-he didn't kill him, Lord Daria-""You know nothing, Harmony. Oh? Still keeping you in the dark? Anyways, it'll no longer be of any importance. I'm waiting for his arrival".Carmen hurried over to the Lord's study and without knocking, ran inLennox who was in a deep conversation with the Lord, snapped his head over to her and was about to reprimand her for barging in"F-Forgive me, Lord Darian but...something happened to Harmony" she spoke with hasteD
. With legs clutched to her chest, Harmony's eyes were dim as she stared at the sheets. Her mind in wonder and worry, wonder on what was going to happen to her now that she found out their plan. And worry for she fear that Darian might try to look for her She didn't want that. If she were to find a way to escape... Her head snapped to the door when it opened for the second time in a minute "Anna?!" she called in shock as she quickly rose from the bed. Going to hold onto Anna who was thrown to the cold ground "Harmony" Anna held her tightly in her arms "W-what is going on?" "What is this? Why is she here?" "Her Grace wants you to think twice before you decide to take any unnecessary actions" and the witch left "Anna...this-this wasn't supposed to happen. I-I'm sorry" . "Darian" Hiraya called out, stepping into his study. She had knocked on the door several times but had gotten no response "It is hard, Darian. You don't have to appear so calm" He was silent "You haven't been t
.Several days went by with Harmony still in the cave with no way of going out, food was usually brought in by Zaria thus she never left the room"The full moon...is today" Harmony said with a sigh, her chin resting on her folded knees as she clutched them to her chestShe was confused, they had to wait until the full moon before she could know who she truly was? Couldn't it be explained now?She shouldn't trust the veiled woman, maybe she should have never left DarianHer eyes dimmed at the thought of him getting hurt because of her. Being in an isolated place was perhaps the best idea to avoid hurting anyone elseThe door to the room slowly opened and the veiled woman came into view"The auspicious time is now. Zaria will get you ready""Ready? Ready for what?" Harmony questioned whilst standing from the bed "You said you were going to tell me everything. I have been here for several days now, and you haven't told me anything""That is because, dear...there is nothing to tell""What
.The palace ground shook violently. Each one of the servants could sense the tension in the environment. The Lord had gone rampant this morning, and the servants knew nothing about what happened"Darian, please..." Vlad pleaded as Darian tossed a note to the ground as well as the scrolls on his deskVlad had been called by the butler and was told what had happened. Harmony had left the palace and she left a note"Darian...""She made a promise. We were going to figure it out together. She dare leave a note after leaving me!" Darian roared, slamming his hand against the wall"You should understand, it is not easy for her-""You think it is for me? I tried so hard to convince and assure her that she was not like those witches. But she didn't take my word for it""There must be something that made her leave. She shouldn't have just left like that""Milord" Lennox stepped in, his eyes looking at the mess made in the room "The witch has awoken"."I heard her voice when I was asleep. But
.Harmony walked in the hallway with saddened steps. She came to a stop in front of Darian's room and she raised her hand to knock on the doorBut hanged halfway, she wanted to see him one last time before she left, but what was she going to say to him?She hesitated and placed her hand down, she was about turning around to leave when the door openedThere, Darian stood in his usual blue robe, his lips were stretched in a thin line and his red eyes bore into hersShe paused and her eyes went to rest on her feet, she didn't know how she was going to apologize to him, taking in a deep breath, she said "I-I'm sorry, Darian"Was a simple apology enough for him?She felt his hand on her chin as he raised her head for her eyes to once again meet his"Don't push me away, Harmony. It's hurts when you do things alone knowing I am there to support you. We're going to figure this out together" Harmony's eyes watered and she ran into his arms. Darian's hand glided on her back as she snuggled clos
The carriage came to a stop as she muttered the last of her words and Darian stepped out, not saying anything neither glancing at herNow she was all aloneHarmony stepped down from the carriage and she stared at the entrance door. She sighed before turning aroundShe needed a stroll to clear her head. Did she just hsvr a quarrel with Darian? She knew she shouldn't have but she no longer wanted to involve anyone in her problemShe came to a stop in front of the garden and crouched before the flowersShe stressed her hand and caressed the petals of the flowerA slight smile displayed on her lips as she felt the soft texture of the flower. Suddenly, the flower slowly turned to ash, from the petal down to the root and then...the whole gardenAll the flowers witheredHarmony stood up, she was shocked and she couldn't question herself what had just happened as she had no idea"That was unexpected" a feminine voice was heard from behind and Harmony roughly spun around. It was the lady in th
."Oh!" she turned around when she heard the loud gasp from behind her and her eyes widened in astonishment seeing the person before her "Harmony?""Anna!" they both called in shock as they stared at each other before pulling their selves into each other's arms"Oh my gosh, is it really you? Harmony...where, I thought I'd never see you again"With wide smiles on both their faces, they stared at each other with tear filled eyes. Having to see each other again after so long, was heartwarming"That...the mirror. You-" Anna's eyes returned back to the mirror and then to Harmony"I...a lot has happened ever since we got separated, Anna. I just got to know that I am a witch with dark powers. I destroy things and the mirror happened to be my latest victim""Oh? That's not good?""It isn't" Harmony said with a sigh which was immediately replaced by a smile "But now that I see you, I'm so happy""Me too, Harmony. We have so much to catch up on" Anna squealed, holding Harmony's hand tightly. Th
."I-I don't know what happened. I-I didn't -" Darian held her in his arms and gently patted her back. Her voice came out muffled as she cried on him "Is she...okay?" "She'll be fine, Harmony. Don't blame yourself, you had no idea it was going to happen""I heard her, screaming... telling me to stop but...I don't know" her eyes widened and she looked up "B-back there...there was a woman. She-she-""Come" Darian held her hand and sat her on the couch with him next to her "Go on""She wore a black veil. S-she held my hand and forced something out of me. I don't know what but...and she said, I was ready"She felt him warm hand wrap around her shoulder and brought her to him, holding her in his embrace"What is happening to me, Darian? Why is...why am I like this?""Your powers are out, Harmony. You know you do not belong to an element""I'm a dark witch" she stated and hugged him tightly. It was too hard for her to take in"Lord Darian..." Lennox called with a bow "I'm sorry to intrude.
.Harmony closed the brown book as she had just finished the last page, she knew all that there was to know about her kindShe left her room and went to the library so she could return the bookShe was about placing it back in its rank when the door opened and Darian stepped in"You're done already? That was fast" he said, walking towards where she stood"I spent most of my time on it" she replied, she had busied herself with the book for two days straight "I got to know from Hiraya that I am a witch. And from the book, they are two kinds of witches...the dark and the white. The dark witches were deceitful and tricky and the white were pure in heart. Which category do you think I fall in, Darian?"Darian held her hand and he planted a kiss on her knuckles before going up to kiss her forehead"My Harmony is the purest of them all"Hearing those words from Darian made her heart race in excitement, she had been so worried that she would turn out as a dark witch"B-but how does one knows
.(WARNING: MATURE CONTENT AHEAD!)"Ahh-" she threw her head back as her back arched as he deepened each of his thrusts. Her sensual moan filling the room, she didn't hold back as this new found feeling took over her entirelyHer body shook slightly as she felt something slip down her thigh. She heavily breathed, her chest going up and downSamael leaned in and once again claimed her lips. His hands fondled on her buttons as his kisses got deeper"Take mine off!" he said, his voice coming out raspy. Anna did as he said and slowly, took his shirt off. Samael took the last piece of clothing that had been stopping him from having a good viewHis hungry eyes ravaged her body as he trailed each curves of her body. He once again found her lips whilst his hand trailed down her stomach"Samael-" she felt his hand caressing her tummy and sliding down and she tried closing her legs but Samael didn't give her the chance to, going to settle himself between her thighs"There's no backing out now,
