.."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
. 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,
