.."He was corrupted, tapping into the black magic and feeding his soul with darkness. He was blinded by rage that he was willing to do anything, to get back at me""About the Duke, w-were you the one who killed him?" Harmony asked, raising her head to meet his eyes"I told you, any one who wishes to harm you...has to go" Darian stated and held her hand "Know this, Harmony. I'm going to keep you safe and eliminate any one that dares to harm you"Harmony felt her stomach do a double twist as he uttered those words, she was feeling something strange towards him. Something she could not yet explain.It was morning, the thundering sky greeted the land of Zludac. One could tell winter was approaching and thus, the palace and the market square got busy"It'll rain anytime soon. Whoo...winter is fast approaching" Carmen stated, bringing out a brown box from her drawer"What is it?""Wool. I thought maybe we could busy ourselves by making something, perhaps a sweater or a scarf...for the rai
."WHY WON'T YOU DIE!!?" A loud gasp escaped her lips as she hastily sat on her bed. This was the second time she had heard such words, in her dreams Harmony got down from the bed and walked out of the bedroom. She walked towards the kitchen to grab a glass of waterShe took out a glass, filling it with water and she gulped it down"Why...what is the meaning behind those words?" she muttered, placing the glass on the shelf"What are you doing roaming around so late?" Shocked, Harmony turned her head towards the source of the voice"Master Darian""Why aren't you asleep?" he inquired"I-I just came to get...water" she answered and he hummed "Good night, Master Darian" she bowed and was about to walk past him but he held her hand"Join me tonight, Harmony" Harmony stiffened in surprise at his words. Not waiting for her response, he dragged her out of the kitchenHarmony couldn't help but look at his hand that held hers, a tingling sensation spreading through her bodyWhat was she doing?
.Harmony wriggled once again in her bed, flashes of a common scene replaying in her head"Good night, mama..." Then, a pillow pressed on a little girls face and a muffled scream was heard"WHY WON'T YOU DIE!!? DIE!" Those words again. The feminine voice sounded harsh and hurried and the little girl struggled with her attacker"No, no" she softly said in between her nightmare. She felt suffocated, her hands tightly gripping the sheetsRumble RumbleThe palace walls shook violently, awakening every living soul in the mansionItems fell from the shelves and the lamps on the walls went off, deep cracks forming on the wallDarian rushed over, he could feel the familiar and strong energy, he knew whom it was from. He barged into her room and could see her trembling on the bed"Harmony..." he called but she quivered even more, the cracks on the wall spreading throughout the palace "You're having a nightmare, I need you to wake up. Wake up!"Harmony's eyes snapped wide open and they glowed w
.Inside the humble household of the royal vampires, few guests were gathered in the hall, awaiting the commencement of a special event"Mum" Sarah said, with worry in her eyes "Samael is not in the mansion""What do you mean he's not in the mansion?" Lady Shirley asked with widened eyes"We've checked all the rooms, mum. he's gone""In a few minutes, this place is going to be swarmed with more guests. where did he go? what are we going to say to the councilman?" Lady Shirley obviously felt uneasy, it was going to be messy if the councilman finds out"I don't know, mum. Samael is gone and so is that woman he kept in one of the rooms. my guess is...they left together""what?!" Genevieve's angry voice sounded from behind them. she had heard their conversation, her cheeks were puffed and her eyes red "what do you mean 'Samael is gone'?" Genevieve yelled, getting the attention of a few guests in the hall"What is going on?" Councilman Joe asked, going to the aid of his daughter. he was a m
."I'm sorry Vlad, I don't think I feel the same way about you" Immediately those words left her lips, Vlad froze on the spot. He had waited a long time, when she had chosen to give her life to save Darian and fell into a deep sleep, he was always by her side. But it seems..."Vlad...""You still feel something for him. Lucy, he's together with her now, you don't have to feel indebted to him because he saved you from your clan. I-""I don't feel indebted to him, Vlad. I love him! I love Darian, not you. My heart doesn't belong to anyone else""You're giving your heart to the wrong person, Lucy""It has nothing to do with you"Vlad nodded and closed his eyes for a brief moment. He stood up, not sparing her a glance, he left"I love Darian. And I'll do anything to make him mine. He'll never get together with that human""And you will get him" a feminine voice echoed in the room and Lucy warily looked around"Who are you?"A dark figure appeared in the grand mirror before her. Cladded in
Anna sat on the small bed, looking over the crooked window. Her eyes sad and lonely, a frown settled on her lipsThe wooden door opened and her head turned over to it. Samael stepped in with a poignant look on his face, his eyes going to meet hersHis face and shirt splashed with blood, his red eyes looking grim and he gazed at her with an undescribable look"What is it? Why is there blood on your shirt?" Samael sighed, took off his coat and sat down on the wooden bench"I was thirsty, I went out to hunt" he answeredShe let out a relieved breath and looked away from him. At least, he already had blood...she wouldn't have to be worried staying under the same roof as him"But I wasn't satisfied" she snapped her head to look at him in shock at his statementHe wasn't satisfied?"What do you mean 'you weren't satisfied'?""The taste was bland, I've never had animal's blood before. It doesn't suit well with my taste bud" he then looked at her "I'm still thirsty""W-well don't look at me.
.Harmony spent her duly time in cleaning the Lord's study, she breathed out and kept the bucket asideBeads of sweat on her forehead and she stood up holding onto her waist'Make sure to wipe every corner of the shelves, there shouldn't be a speck of dirt on either of them. Lord Darian hates dirt' She recalled Lennox's words and walked towards the shelves. There were several books on them thus she didn't know where to beginHarmony started by carefully placing the books down before proceeding to clean the dirtHer eyes came across a small brown box, she picked it up from the upper shelf and glanced at the contours. Curiosity got the best of her and she opened the boxHer eyes glistened when she saw a crystalline marble"Beautiful..." she said, staring at the luminous marble. She stared at it for a while and wanted to put it back inside the box but she didn't expect it to slip from her hand"Oh no" the marble rolled and rolled, ending up under the bookshelf "Aigoo Harmony..." she bent
."How long are we going to be here?" Anna asked, trying to hide her face from the piercing sunlight. Her eyes staring at Samael who roasted the raw meat of the animal he had caught a while back"Till everything is settled""When will everything be settled?" she questioned"When the engagement is cancelled""What if it doesn't get called off? What then?" Samael stared at her for a while before answering"Then I'll move over to my next plan""Oh..." she gasped, amazed "There's a plan B? What is it?""You'll get to know when it's put into action""When will that be?""You're asking too many questions, keep quiet and eat" he said, handing her the plate of the meat he had roasted "Hmm...It's hard, blah..." she said, spitting out the bite she took "You burnt it, I can't eat that""You should appreciate me cooking for you, I haven't prepared a meal for anyone other than myself""Oh, I see why" she said, squinting her eyes at meat"Are you going to eat it or not?"(What do I do? I'm so hung
