It was time for Vastria to get back to her father at the demon territory. Remus’ mother hugged her farewell and his father waved her goodbye. Remus of course escorted her home in a limo and a few vampires escorting the limo with street bikes, about four total carrying firearms. After a long felt farewell, Remus and Vastria was finally on their way back to her father’s territory.
During the journey they passed the darkened clearing where they met up with the rogue vampires. Nothing was left behind sin
The limo pulled up in front of the mansion. A few servants, Vastria’s father, and Elcid, stood at the bottom steps awaiting their arrival. Soon as the limo came to a stop, Elcid opened the door to let her out. Vastria smiled greeting Elcid as she left the limo. Remus followed behind. Vastria’s father hugged his daughter closely, happy she has gotten home safely. He learned about the rogue vampire attack and wanted to send his men to guard his daughter, but he also heard about what his daughter did.
The next morning, Vastria’s father requested that she meet him in his office after breakfast. He did not have breakfast with her that morning. She could hear a lot of discussions coming from the office when she went to the dining hall with Elcid following close behind. “Lady Vastria, I have something to take care of. Please excuse me.” Elcid was looking at her phone. Vastria nodded and she rushed out of the dining hall.
Sitting in the garden for hours and Vastria was only able to write a couple of poems she thought long and hard about. The first one she was inspired by the cool wind that kept blowing through the trees and flower bushes. She also thought about the element of earth and its connections. She then remembered the class she was in the middle of taken before being brought into this new world. It was an advanced nature/environmental writing and literature course. She wanted to finish the course, but now she could not. She still continued to write, nonetheless. The wind poem she came up with was written as such:
Xilvis glared at Remus as he held Vastria away from him. He did not know that there were vampires residing with Lord Rothcas. He wanted to play with Vastria to see if she is something of worth. His father believes she is, but Xilvis believes otherwise. He wanted to know why this vampire interfered. He wanted to know what business he had with the girl he wanted to test. Xilvis took that time to think to himself as he continued to glare at the vampire before him. This vampire should not be here. No one mentioned a vampire would be guarding the girl. I must find out if this vampire was sent by that wretched vampire noble to watch over their new prize, a demon bride for a vampire.
Remus and Vastria entered the mansion at the garden entrance hearing a loud commotion coming from the dining room. They saw a figure storm out of the front door. Vastria recognized the figure to be Xilvis. He was not happy as he stormed out.The two looked to each other then entered the dining room together. The talking among the men inside abruptly stopped as Remus and Vastria entered the room to find the long table filled with seven individuals.
The other two demon lords’ sons stood up, Thorzot and Zerniz speaking at the same time. “We too will support lady Vastria.” They looked at lady Arnenas as they spoke. Their fathers looked to them shocked. Lord Torin was the first to speak. “It appears that our heirs have spoken, and we should accept their words. I cannot speak for others here, but I too will support lady Vastria.” He smiled looking to Vastria then to her father and Remus.
Dinner was finally over, and the demon lords had left. Each disappearing into black mist. Vastria watched intrigued as they left through the black mist in the main room. She wondered if that was how they arrived at the mansion in the first place. She thought that she should learn it since it will make traveling easier. She then remembered that Remus has gotten to the mansion the same way, through black mist. He did not know how it happened other than that Vastria somehow summoned him.
Vastria woke the next morning refreshed. She got out of bed looking around. She had not seen her demon bodyguard in such awhile and she wondered where she could be. She texted her demon bodyguard Elcid but there was no reply after a few moments. She sighed and left her room after changing her clothes. She met Remus in the hall before going down to the dining room.
Where are you? Vastria asked Remus telepathically. Vastria looked around for Remus passing the entrance to the bar room on the vampire side. I am in the bar room with a few guests. Want to help me get out of here? I could use the help.
“Welcome everyone to tonight’s banquet. Why all the long faces? Come now. After tonight, our two nations will be joined in a truce agreement. It is a time for celebrations. Please mingle and eat to your hearts content.” Remus’ father came walking to Vastria, his son and lady Arnenas. Vastria’s father followed him. “Agreed. Please everyone, enjoy the night. after tonight the demon realm will be working with the vampire nation. Tonight, w
Vastria stared at herself in the mirror sighing. Remus waited for her at the stairs, but she was not ready. She was nervous. She knew that tonight would be a difficult night. A full banquet with vampires, demons, and werewolves all joined together. She could hear small orchestra music coming from downstairs. It was music that she was never into, but it was music that was appropriate for the occasion. She sighed again looking at herself before leaving her room. She made su
“Do I really need to wear a dress?” Vastria asked as her room was filled with dresses for her to choose from. They were sent to her by Remus’ mother. He came with every delivery she sent except this last dress deliver. For the past few days, his mother sent her dresses, and she did not like any of them. She did not care for dresses. “Lady Vastria, this is a banquet after all. You must wear a dress.” Elcid was spreading out the dresses before her on the clothing racks. “Do you
Elcid rushed back to the mansion after leaving Meagan at the park. She knew she would be fine on her own to get back to her apartment or where she was staying that night. It was lucky her informant found her before she was taken by the rogue vampires. She could not use a demon portal, but she was able to speed run to her car parked a few blocks away. As she drove home, she decided to send her lady a message to update her.
I cannot believe I did that. My parents have disowned me, and my pack banished me because I tried to reason with them about Vastria.I personally trust everything about Vastria, but those wretched demons. They literally sold her to the vampires. Vile wretched vampires that is going to use her.
The demon portal opened up at the center of the garden where the pond was. Vastria’s father and his servants waited for their return. Her father pacing clearly angered. He stopped as he saw the portal and waited. Remus stepped out, then Vastria and Elcid close behind. The demon portal of black mist dispersed soon as they exited the portal. Vastria’s father did not know what to say at first. He had many thoughts, but seeing her daughter finally back brought relief. He sighed and walked to his daughte
As Vastria started to say her farewells to Meagan’s parents and the elders, she felt a pull on her mind. Where are you?She knew who it was. What do you mean, Remus? The others around her did not know why she fell silent all of a sudden. They watched her questioning. They were not sure if they should interrupt, but Elcid knew what could have been going on. “Please excuse my lady Vastria. She just received a message via telepathy.” They looked to Elcid as she tried to apologize
Mishna and Astar led Vastria and Elcid to the center of the village. All the wolves were gathered there. As they reached, the wolves turned and stared at them, at Vastria and Elcid. They did not understand why demons were there that night. Three elderly werewolves were at the most center sitting down. Soon as they saw them, they stood up. They were discouraged. They heard about two demons being in the village but did not believe it until they saw Vastria and Elcid. Astar and Mishna brought Vastria and Elcid dir
