The next day, Harmony walked through the hallway along with Carmen, her nose felt itchy and she let out a sneeze "Achoo...""Are you okay?" Carmen asked besides her and she nodded, rubbing her sleeves on her nose and she noticed as the maids casted weird looks at her"Do I have something on me?" Harmony asked as she turned her head to look at Carmen "You don't, Harmony " Carmen said with a small laugh "Might be because of what happened yesterday""Yesterday? What happened?" Harmony wanted to know how what happened had anything to do with their angry gaze"Well, you were out almost all day with Lord Darian and you both arrived wet" Carmen paused "We saw how he had wiped your hands clean. And the way he had intimately placed the towel on your shoulder had the maids thinking th-" The rest of Carmen's words were swallowed by her the moment three maids stopped right in front of them"Oh, look who it is..." said the maid at the middle, her light brown hair was shoulder length, her chin he
On a large bed, laid a slim figure with a red marks on her forehead. Anna's eyes slowly fluttered open and she took in the surrounding. She sat up and glanced through the roomThe room was painted a bright red and the lined curtains swayed to the side. They were two couches on the side and lit lamps filled the roomHer eyes widened and her expression changed as she wondered with worry how she ended up where she was. The last thing she bad remembered was running away from that terrible place and stumbling upon another vampire Happiness overwhelmed her at the thought of escaping from that monster's clutches. She suddenly became alert as she heard the sound of footsteps at the door She knew she shouldn't be comfortable as she didn't know who had saved her and brought her hereShe stood from the bed and softly whined when she felt a stab on her feet. She suddenly realised that something had pierced her feet in the forestShe glanced to the side and saw a porcelain vase, she hastily pic
Harmony wished Carmen a good night before she headed to her room. She walked in the dimly lit hallway as the lamps at the side burned. Her head whipped to the side when she heard a soft voice whisper into her ears She thought it was just the wind and she kept on walking, this time a little faster. The slow enchanting voice whispered once again and Harmony stopped in her tracks. She felt footsteps behind her and her heart rate increased as her head slowly turned to look behind her and she expected to be confronted by something but...there was nothingShe let out a light breath and turned back to resume her steps when a loud gasp escaped her lips and she fell to the floorBefore her stood a fair, beautiful lady whose sparkling golden hair beautifully cascaded down her waist,she was dressed in a white night gown and her dark eyes stared down at Harmony enervatedlyHarmony panicked, her body refusing to get up as she slowly crawled away. The lady stepped towards her with an unknown look
Harmony looked at him expectantly as he gazed at her, not saying a word"What did she look like?" Darian asked, his eyes going to glance behind her before staring down at her"S-she was in a white gown and her hair was gold-" Harmony said, she knew she sounded crazy at the moment and he was likely not to believe her Darian's eyes unexpectedly darkened the second those words left her lips. He took a step towards her, his eyes still holding that dangerous look before he patted her head"Go to sleep Harmony. You might be seeing things "Harmony slightly shook her head, she knew what she saw and it felt so real"Mi-Master Darian...""I'll have Lennox look into the matter tomorrow. Right now it's late, you have to wake up early to perform your duties. Go to bed" ...Darian's face was inexpressive as he stalked towards a room, his gaze was cold and every matching steps he took was prone to the aura that surrounded himHe had barely reached the room when the door opened on its own, Darian
"Don't go anywhere near her, Lucy. You had just regained consciousness so I'm going to go easy and make this simple. If you ever go anywhere near her, I'll make sure I be the one to put you back in bed, maybe then you can have a peaceful sleep...for eternity" Lucy eyes widened in disbelief at the threath, she knew it wasn't a bluff. Darian was a man with few words but he meant every single thing that leaves his mouth "I don't see what makes you any different, Lucy. Don't forget, you were once an outcast, a wuss...think twice before stepping foot into my Palace again "He roughly shoved her away and made way to the door"I promised to help you, Darian" Lucy said, her voice coming out a little shaky "I'll be with you every step of the way, I am in your debt"Lucy watched as he walked out of the room and she weakly sat on the ground "An outcast..." she mumbled. His words had went deep into her heart, it had affected her greatly. His words had brought back the memories she wished to forg
Samael stared at Anna with a coy smile as she repeatedly avoided his gaze, her eyes narrowed as she tried to find a suitable answer"I do wonder how Vincent would repay me if I were to return his woman back to him" His words had Anna's eyes snap and her eyes quivered "You think I wouldn't recognize you?""I-I... please, don't take me back there. I-""No? I think it would be considered rude if I were to take something that doesn't belong to me. Isn't that stealing?" he asked, his hand leaving her chin to place it on the wall, behind her waist"I d-don't belong to him. Please, he-he harasses me-" she begged, her eyes raimented with fear "I wouldn't call it an harassment if he actually paid to have you""No...he's going to kill me""And what makes you think that I won't? I'm a nasty vampire just like Vincent, we have this killing instinct. And moreover, you're his to begin with""Please...no. I'll do anything, just don't take me back there" she pleaded, her eyes mistyHis hands left her
Three days went by with the heavy rain pouring in the land of Zludac. Harmony woke up each day, walking alongside with Carmen performing the same duties The chilling breeze flew through the open widow and Harmony felt her body shiver. Walking toward the window, she clutched the curtains in an attempt to close the window when she saw a dark silhouetteIt looked like the figure was staring right at her as it stood there in the rain. Slowly, she closed the window and looked awayShe walked towards the fireplace and added more logs. She sat on the chair before the hearthstead, her body folded into a ballShe stared at the fire as it made cracking sounds with a lonely gaze, she wondered if she was going to live the rest of her life doing the same activities. She felt like she was living in solitude....Harmony went along with Carmen and the other maids as they went to the stream to get their clothes cleanedHarmony followed Carmen's process as she taught her the steps, these things were
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
