Harmony had a dazed look on as her feets patted on the muddy ground. Droplets of rain fell from the sky and landed on herThe clouds rumbling and scolding one another finally snapped her back to her senses and as if relieved from the sudden enchantment, shockingly looked aroundConfusion laced in her eyes as she finally realized she was in the middle of nowhere"Dear child..." a familiar voice sounded, getting her attention and her head turned to the side"M-Martha?...".....Samael looked down at Anna who tightly held onto his leg. His red eyes flickered and an unknown sensation passed through them"Anything?" he asked and she vigorously nodded, her head occupied with mindless thoughts "Alright then, get up"Anna loosened her grip on his leg and slowly stood upThe moment she stood up, he suddenly slammed both hands on the wall, at the side of her head. Imprisoning her in his arms"Shall we start?" he questioned, his eyes turning a few shades darker. She shuddered when his fingers tr
The beautiful blue sky had without warning turned gravel-grey. The sky had turned dark as large clouds covered it. The rain and began to fall and it landed on the startled figureHer clothes were soaked and had stuck to her body, she blinked several times as if not sure of what she was seeingAlthough stunned at the sudden appearance of Martha who was cladded in a tattered black cloak, Harmony gazed at Martha with a smile as she took the cloak downShe saw an uncertain emotion run through her eyes that she couldn't quite define"Martha, I'm-""I'm sorry child" Martha said, her eyes closed for a brief second and when she opened them, Harmony was beyond shocked at what she sawMartha eyes had all of a sudden become a totally different colour, her irises had turned into a deep-seated yellow and her pupil were slit shaped. Her skin became dark and wrinkled as her face twisted in a weird way. Her face looked ugly, disfigured and repulsive, her mouth was chapped and her tongue slipped outT
"Please don't...ahh" Anna felt something sharp pierce deep into her neck and a cry left her lips. She felt an intense pain in her neck and her hands moved over to his chest, attempting to push him awayShe could feel her blood slowly being drained from her body and her face filled with anguish. She wanted to push him away but her body felt extremely weak that she couldn't even move a muscle, it was as if she was subitaneously paralyzed. Her breathing gradually slowed down as he showed no sign of stoppingHer body grew lighter and she fell on his shoulder, only then did he stop and retracted his fangsSamael stared at the unconscious girl in his arms before he swiftly carried her and laid her on the bed. Her face has turned pale and her lips looked dryHe covered her with the blanket and stood up, exiting the room.....The heavy downpour continued, continuously landing on the confused Harmony and the creature...Martha, as they both stared into his each other's eyes. Harmony's heart ch
Before Martha could take any further action, she was suddenly thrown to the ground with great force. Martha was shocked as well as Harmony and they turned their heads towards the personLucy stood before them, both hands in the air as the rain drenched her clothes and her glistening gold hair was damp. She glanced at Harmony who still laid weakly on the groundDarian who was behind her rushed over to Harmony whose expression looked pitifulMartha lounged forward, approaching them with great speed but then, she let out a shriek and violently shook on the floorHarmony watched with wide eyes as Martha screamed in pain, her body slowly disintegrating into thin airHarmony still couldn't believe what had happened, Martha was dead...she couldn't find an explanation for herself as to what was currently happeningWith amiable movement, he carried her from the ground, not minding the mud stain on her bodyHarmony wasn't in her right mind to say a word as she was still struck by what happened,
Harmony's senses seemed to be returned to her when she felt something warm and fluffy brush against her palm. She then stared at him and her heart skipped when she met his gaze. He was intensely staring at her, with his hand holding the towel as he wiped the stain off"Milord..." Carmen who had just walked inside the room greeted, her eyes almost widened at seeing Darian bending down in front of Harmony"Harmony's not feeling quite well, prepare a warm bath and help her get cleaned""Yes, milord" Carmen said watching Darian stand up and he handed her the towel before walking out of the roomCarmen then rushed over to Harmony hearing the sound of the door being shut from behind "Harmony, are you okay? What happened out there?" Harmony's eyes instantly turned dewy and Carmen seeing this, hugged her and gently patted her back...."I travelled to Ruldshire and I found out who she was, her name is Martha Gravel, a maid and caretaker at the blue house" Vlad said to Darian whose eyes were c
"I'll help you dry your hair" Carmen said to Harmony whose hair was dripping wet, wanting to take hold of the towel which laid on the bed"T-there's n-no need, Carmen. I'll do it myself""Are you sure?" Carmen asked and Harmony weakly nodded "There's an ointment on the top shelf, apply it on the wounds on your wrist. I'll leave then, take care Harmony""Yes" Carmen waved a bye before leaving the room. Harmony sat on the bed and stared blankly at the ointment on the shelfHer hands reached out to get it when the door made a squeaky sound and someone stepped inHarmony's head raised up to meet face-to-face with Darian who was now in a dark robe, his hair was disheveled and fell to the side a bitWithout a word, he walked towards her and Harmony's hand went to her lapDarian's smooth hands reached over to the ointment and he went to sit besides her. Harmony didn't raise her head up, instead stared at her hands"Your hand" he said, his baritone voice sounded besides her ear and Harmony fe
The towel glided slowly through her hair and when he was done, his hand slowly smoothened it. Harmony couldn't explain her reaction when he caressed her hair, her mouth slightly opened as she stared at him"T-thank you for your help, master Darian" Harmony said, her voice almost coming out as a whisper "That lady...s-she looked-" Harmony didn't know if she should say it, the lady from earlier looked like the one she saw in the hallwayDarian looked at her, his whole attention directed on what she had to say"What is it?""N-no, it's nothing..." Harmony lightly shook her head as she tried to compose her mind. They was something strange about that lady and she knew something was off about her, she remembered how Martha was thrown harshly to the ground"Don't ponder on the thought for too long, Harmony. Get some rest" Darian stood up from the bed and walked towards the door "Good night, Harmony""G-good night, master Darian" getting her reply, he walked out Seeing him go out, she laid
>>> Hello readers, decided to make this chapter extra for y'all. Please do consider voting 🥰🥰>>>The moon light illuminated through the half closed window on the girl on the bed. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead and her head violently shook to the sides. A mere sight and one could tell the girl was having a nightmareA little girl laid on the bed with her eyes closed and her chest heaving softly, indicating she was asleep. Suddenly, a hand came from the side, grabbing a pillow and placing it aggressively on her face"Mhmm" the little girl jolted awake from the lack of oxygen and she struggled as she was finding it hard to breathe "Ahmmm...mu-um""WHY WON'T YOU DIE!!?"Harmony jolted from the bed, her face holding a look of shock, fear and confusion. Her breathing got irregular and her hand held her chest. She breathed in and out, trying to catch her breathShortly, her breathing became steady and her eyes closed for a brief moment"A dream... it's just a dream" she said, try
