I went running towards the cabin as fast as I could, I wanted to reach it quickly. I wanted my brother to be save, he's the only one I could only ever care about. Good thing I learned how to use healing magic, though it doesn't work on me as much as it should but it still naturally closes small wounds just like the wound on my hand is about to heal. Running through the forest. I ran and ran and ran until I reached the cabin.
.....
"She isn't like the other girls you've met right?" said Cedric
"Anyone in her place, would've begged for help. I'm impressed to see how she didn't plead me for help and went ahead without even batting an eye. Tsk tsk girls like her are pretty troublesome yet interesting. More than that I'm interested in those long pretty golden haired, a pretty young girl like her shouldn't be in that state and shouldn't be lurking around. Ain't I right Cedric"
"I agree with Your Highness"
"Well then, shall we continue to hunt" I said with smirk in my face
...
"Lucas! Lucas! Where are you? Lucas, why the hell aren't you answering?!"
I was scared. Shivers went down my spine. The thought of him getting hurt petrified me. There was pure silence. No answer. Nothing
Until...
I heard a bang from inside the cabin. I took out the dagger and applied the poison I had secretly kept on me. If they won't be wounded enough they'll at least be poisoned.
Slowly I went towards the cabin and kicked open the door. I have to say I am scared as well but there's no going back now. I went inside just to see three humongous men sitting there with those dirty little eyes looking up and down at me. I f**king wanted to gouge them out. But that was that, on left side of the cabins corner, laid a small body. A bit wounded, hands tied and mouth shutted close with a black cloth. That was Lucas. I screamed "Nooo Lucas! How dare you lay hands on my brother" I shouted with rage.
One of the men stood up and came walking towards me. What he didn't know he was walking staright towards his death. I concealed the knife behind my back so he can't see it. Just as he approached towards me and grabbed my left arm, I strucked his eye with my knife, then taking the opportunity I stabbed his abdomen and then kicked him in the stomach. He shouted with pain and the other two men looking at me with disdain. Both of them stood up and approached towards me. One of them tried to grab my arm again but I strucked my knife towards his hand leaving a wound. The whole cabin smelled of opium and blood. The other man attacked me with a wood log. I dodged it, my reflexes were pretty fast but not fast enough. The other men grabbed my arm from behind and the other men jolted the log and hitted it on my head.
I fell on my knees. Barely trying to keep myself conscious.
"Hahaha, look at you now so miserable" both the psychopaths begain to laugh at me.
I didn't wanna give up. My mind kept saying one last try. I wanna protect my brother even if it costs my life. I grabbed the knife firecly and shoved it towards the men behind me and wounding his leg. He slapped my face pretty badly. I was thinking I'd lose consciousness any moment now. Tears piled up in my eyes. I tried so hard to survive with my brother. I survived a whole freakin six years just to die hear so vulnerably. Out of all a sudden two more morons joined in the fun. There are literally four man gazing at me with their dirty eyes. There's no way I, a mere girl who can't even use magic go against them
"Take the boy and throw him into the carriage" the man commanded his subordinate.
He took Lucas, right infront of my eyes. I tried so hard to get up but there wasn't any energy in my body. My body just gave in. Come on Celine! Come on! Get the f**k up. You're strong. Just as I tried to stood up, a hand from behind pulled my hair so firecly. Any the other men grabbed my face and pinched my cheeks with such a strong strength that tears came down falling from my eyes. I was waiting, pleading in my heart that the poison starts to take effect. They three man I wounded took the carriage away with Lucas in it. I prayed that in midway the poison starts to act up and the carriage doesn't reach thier camp.
"You have such a pretty face but a really bad attitude girly, I wanna toy with you and devour you" he said with a dirty look in his eyes scanning my whole body.
These psychopaths are abducters as well are pervs! May god burn them in hell. The pervy men was about to rip of my clothes. I couldn't move. Only tears came from eyes. Just as my clothes were about to been torn apart an unknown figure kicked the door open.
It was him! The man I encountered in the forest. Just as he saw us. I could see rage burning in his eyes as if he'll burn down everything this instant. With his powers, he pulled both men towards him and choked them while breaking their bones one by one. They were pleading. Pleading for help but he didn't stop. But then one of them spoke. He said "We'll kill your brother. They'll kill your brother if they knew we're dead". I stood their shivering with fright, worrying if Lucas would die. He choked them even more, they were on verge of death. I ran towards that man, interrupting his torture and pleading him to stop.
"Please, I beg you. Please stop! They'll kill my brother, they abducted him so please stop. I'll do anything so please, I beg you Sir please save my little brother". I looked into his eyes. Him staring at me with his black eyes and me staring them back with a little hope that he'll help. Something lingered through my mind, weren't his eyes crimson when we first met? breaking the eye contact I went into a deep thought. Recalling something. Something important that I read in a book. Something clicked in. Vampires!! They have eyes of crimson color and they turn black as well. In disbelief I stared into his eyes again, out of all a sudden they turned crimson. I shivered and thought about the sight i was seeing. Without any thought words that I can't believe I said, came spitting out if my weird mouth. I grabbed his sleeve and asked
"Are you a vampire?"
Everything became silent. No one said a single word. Everyone stared at this guy as if their life depended on him.
He stared at me and his eyes slowly turned black again. He stared at me with a cold gaze. He didn't reply that meant he really was a vampire.
"Cedric, take the lady into the carriage and tend to her wounds" he said.
"As you wish" Cedric replied. He was taking me towards the carriage but I turned behind to the vampire person and said.
"But my brother is out there, I won't go anywhere without him" I said confidently
"I'll save him" he replied and made his way towards the forest with his soldiers to look for my brother while Cedric took me inside the carriage and attended to my wounds. I asked Cedric a question.
"What's your leader name Sir" I asked. He looked at me with a surprised face. And then out of all a sudden he burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, it's the first time someone doesn't know Allen" he said
"Wait a minutes, Allen! By Allen do you mean Allen Standford the Crown Prince of Standford!"
" Yes, m'lady. He's the crown prince"
I couldn't come to make myself believe what my ears just heard. He really is the Crown Prince.
"Hmm, Allen Standford.... A vampire. Pretty interesting!..
