Soon as Vastria and Elcid was alone, Elcid started to pace. Vastria watched her do this wondering what must be wrong since she did not answer her yet. “Elcid, tell me the news you have for me.” She crossed her arms.
“Lady Vastria, we cannot go into the forest this soon.” Elcid stopped and looked to Vastria sternly. Her eyes filled with worry.
Vastria could not put herself to sleep. She spent hours in bed pondering on what to do. She wonders if her decision would bring repercussions. She worried for Meagan, worried for her new family, and worried if she would bring a downfall upon herself. Vastria have not yet made her decision, she knew in the morning she needed to have that decision, but it was a hard task. She laid in bed staring at the ceiling feeling tired, but she could not sleep.
Vastria had just finished meditating when Elcid knocked on her bedroom door. She felt ready to venture into the forest. She just needed to tell Elcid her final decision. As Elcid entered Vastria’s room, servants followed with breakfast. Vastria had requested breakfast in her room that morning. The servants quickly set up breakfast and left Elcid and Vastria alone. Vastria took a seat and looked at her breakfast with a smile before looking up to Elcid.
Elcid and Vastria stayed hidden in the shrubs. Afraid they may be found out, Vastria pulls a cloaking spell over them so the rogue vampires in the clearing cannot sense them there. There were about ten rogue vampires in the clearing lit by torches. They were dressed all in black, black jeans and plain black t-shirt. They were surrounding a small furry heap in the center of them towards the other end of the clearing. A werewolf pup in wolf form. The pup was whimpering in the net that it was held in.
Vastria and Elcid was taken back to the fire lit clearing. As they got there the other rogues turned around shocked after teasing the pup that still laid on the ground in the net. “What do we have here?” The rogue vampire who led this group said as he stepped closer to Vastria and Elcid.
Vastria knelt and took the net off the pup on the ground. The pup remained still. She rubbed the pup’s head to get its attention. Soon as she laid her hand on the pup’s head, the pup bit her arm. Blood spilled as the pup growled staring at Vastria shaking with fear. “Lady Vastria!” Elcid ran over to help.
The three walked through the entrance gate and passed the passerby werewolves. As they walked through all the werewolves stopped to stare. They did not dare to whisper to each other, but they stared watching them pass by. They did not break their contact until they passed the center of the village, passed the bon fire pit that was blazing high.Vastria and Elcid followed silently looking about the village. The pups were being gathered at one end of the center of the village with the fire pit, but they too were s
Elcid who stood behind Vastria spoke up. “It is a pleasure to meet you Sir Astar Bekker and Lady Mishna Bekker of Crescent Ether Pack, parents of my master’s friend Meagan. I am the bodyguard Elcid to my lady. Here I will formally introduce her. My lady Vastria Saintcrow of the demon realm Saintcrow, daughter of Lord Rothcas Saintcrow and Grand Witch Syble Saintcrow. Us demons follow the words of our master. She wished to speak with you with important matters. She too wants peace and hope for a working relationship with you and your pack.” Elcid bowed before stepping back to allow Vastria to speak.
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
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
