2021-11-12 18:02:18Good gracious.
It's been a month and a half since that day, Jack and I have been anxiously waiting for Richard to summon us. It wasn't until last night that he finally called, we were just about to board a plane when my phone rang, well of course we abandoned our flight. Mira wanted us to keep her company, and so we journeyed back here.
I stopped after seeing her wave from her window. Hmm, it seems Mal helped heal her, of course, after watching her for that long he couldn't possibly let her be crippled. I could also see Richard through the window and believe me, he does not look happy even if he was the one who called us.
She was in the kitchen and staring at us with a bowl in one hand and a spoon in another. She looked like she was trying to stay calm, but honestly, I couldn't say the same, especially s

There she was on the bed, looking worse than before. Her breathing was slow and even her heartbeat made me worried. All I could see was a dried up body and not the woman I met outside a hotel months ago. Once every thirty seconds, she would cough a very dried cough. She looked so pale that we had to order for oxygen and invited as many midwives, nurses and doctors, sharmans, witch doctors and all those who all had contacts with vampires. Richard had refused to leave her side, he's been with her all day. Malicay said it's because the time was slowly approaching.Humans are really weak, to think she would suffer so much from just conceiving a Vampire, I felt like beating up Richard for being responsible but everyone was anticipating the birth of this child, even I can't deny it's importance. Richard hasn't moved an inch, and believe me when I say he looks depressed.

In a split second, the castle and everyone in it was turned upside down. The preparation for her delivery was carried out, people rushing with bowls of warm water, carrying a towel, setting up equipment and checking her pulse. No one stood or was an idol. Malicay left the room while I tailed behind, however the presence emitting from Malicay was not the same. As Malicay made his way to an abandoned room, he gripped his chest in pain and leaned on the wall to get support. "Mal." I rushed up to him and let him lean on me for support, but he slapped my hand away and continued on his own.Everytime he came across one person or the other he would give orders on what should be done. "Place black candles all around her bed, close the curtains, let no sunshine penetrate no matter what." He said.

Of course everyone panicked immediately. Martha stood by Mira's side with the child in her arms, she was frightened as Richard yelled continuously at her to get rid of his child. What happened to the confidence he had just a while ago, and what happened. "This child is innocent." Martha explained, but Richard wasn't listening, he was holding on to his wife as if protecting her from something.Everyone came rushing in, "What happened?" I asked. When I saw Mira lying still, I feared that something had happened to her, but then my thinking quickly changed when I saw Mother Resse rubbing her temples in frustration. I walked over to ask if anything had gone wrong and all she did was sigh.“Why don’t you ask him yourself, he’s the one who&

Mira's POVIt's been two weeks since I had my son Ethan, and I can only say that my son and I aren't really what anyone could call mother and child. It hurts and frustrates me, knowing that the more I try, the more useless my efforts become. "Why, why wouldn't he stop crying. Am his mother aren't I?" Tonight, I had broken down in Ethan's room.I had woken up in the middle of the night after hearing my child cry, he hardly cries cause he's a tough child, but it seems like something must have disturbed him, so dressed in my nightgown I went to his room. There, I found Martha trying to put him to sleep, but Ethan was far from sleeping."Give him here, I'll carry him." I told her, I wanted to carry him myself. It was the first time I was going to hold him since his birth. For some reason

"Jesty….""...majesty….""You majesty….. Mother!!!""Hmm." Once again I had been lost in my thoughts and memories of the past, that I had almost forgotten that I was helping Ethan with his tasks. Honestly, I tried my possibls best to keep that promise and Richard also did his best but unfortunately things got a bit out of hand and so we tried our best to raise him better, but not in a normal way but through another strategy. Richard had bought a lifetime supply of books that should help Ethan with good leadership and build up his morals and thinking.Ethan who was just a baby a couple of years ago had now grown into a mature seven year old. However our distance was the same as ever. A child that hesitates to call his own bir

I felt awful that very day. No one could imagine how much I had to hold back, especially after seeing my son being dragged away and locked up in his room. He was banging the door and apologizing over and over again. I tried my best to get the key but I had no idea where he had hidden the key. One the first day, Ethan kept crying like never before, my child who was always adultlike was crying like a child. He kept asking, "mother, father don't you want me anymore?" And as if it weren't enough he would please for us to open the door. I personally sat by his door all day and night.On the second day, Ethan began to lay out all his wrong doings, he went on to apologize over and over, and still Richard did not open the door for the poor child. I begged him bitterly but it didn't cause even a slight effect. I could hear Ethan repeat over and over again that he was sorry, and that he was going

*******My head is spinning so badly that I don't think am on the ground anymore. I thought it wpuld calm down after I woke up but that didn't work, not even a little bit. I dragged my legs through and leaned on the wall, I just needed some water."...Useless. You're nothing but a failure to the Ego name." The one good thing apart from not aging which I had gotten from Richard was better vision and clear hearing, although it wasn't as good as a vampires I could hear better than average. So I was told, apart from that, I had no more traits of a vampire.I wonder who that could be making all that racket, and could there possibly another Ego that I don't know? If not the who are they yellinh for.The noise was coming from Ethan's study, which is strange,

I questioned myself about just how long Ethan had been suffering like this. Regardless of being a Vampire Ethan was still a half breed and that too human, he was also seven years old, and since he was a child, his healing abilities were quite slow, but that didn't matter since I couldn't possibly think of what or who could possibly be brave enough to hurt the first and only chill of a vampire king. To think I was being careless.Ethan, who Martha released, was having a hard time adjusting to the eyes staring at his body. Those eyes belonged to Martha and I. He would wrap his arms around his body, attempting to cover up his back even when he couldn't reach it and his back were still covered by his shirt. "Tell me Ethan how long has this been going on?" Ethan remained silent, he looked scared. Just what on earth did you have to suffer to be afraid of somebody who wasn't your father. "Martha, call Ethan

Laughter and music plays through the elegant hall. Everyone danced to the rhythm of the waltz, everything seemed perfect and yet, one person remained who looked lonely even while being crowded by many. An average height, fair skinned red haired woman laughed with everyone with a mask of happiness but beneath that mask was a lonely woman. That woman was me.Today marked my twenty-first birthday and my father who was a man of luxury decided to hold what is supposed to be the most lavish birthday, however I could not feel a single ounce of happiness, rather I felt empty.

As much as I wanted to rip him apart, I could not move and I was still in the hands of this lunatic of a woman. "Well then let's get to work." He said while staggering. He walked up to a rock that was shaped oddly like a chair and sat down. "Since her majesty now has the heir to the throne out of the way, I believe that makes her the only pure blooded Ego and rightful queen seeing that Erika over here has given up the position already. So I have played my role." He said without any sense of shame or guilt."What about her?" Richard says, I was on the brink of tears seeing that he was not moved after seeing both his children dead. I thought we could start over. I made a mistake."You monster. How could you, you killed innocent c

Gah!I woke up dripping wet from cold sweat. "She's awake." A voice says. It was my father. I looked around and found fewer people than before, the twins, Nessa and dad, but where's Malicay and Daniel, I wondered."Martha, what happened to Martha." I asked but everyone looked away, they had a troubled look and most importantly they were sad.Vanessa moved forward and signalled father to let her speak. "By the time Malicay had arrived, she was already dead. The dagger that pierced through her heart was a silver dagger, I'm sorry." Again, she died again. I can't imagine how much I owe her, for taking care of Ethan, for the shelter she gave me in my previous life, and for being by my side. I owed

Delets.The myths describe him as cunning, slippery, smart, and devious. A master of chesh and a good strategist however no one could ever figure out what his true aim and purpose ever was, he was a being who moved according to his own will, no one could understand and control him. That being I speak of had planned to ruin my family from the very beginning.He wasn't just after one child but two, on one hand it was said that Thomas would bring my mother in law the throne an on the other Ethan was said to be a sacrifice for Thomas to ascend the throne but what those two had in common was that their birthday were foretold, one to Richard and the other to the queen. In short there was no curse, just a stage set up for an event. It was a marking. This strategy was simply killing two birds wit

I was only a couple of days away from my fortieth birthday, and since the queen hadn't shown up cause she was probably waiting for my passing, everyone lowered their guards. "Yes, we'll be there immediately." I heard Richard say as he walked into my room hurriedly with a troubled expression."What's going on?" I asked, there was no way I would not be troubled seeing him pancing to and fro the room. "Where are you going ?"He rushed up to my bed and kissed me on the cheek. "Emir has found a way around Delets curse this time, Ethan and I would go there and return immediately, but don't worry I've called for more security, even from the wolves so they would be more people to protect you when I'm gone." As he stood up to leave, I grabbed him b

Although we weren't able to find out a few more things relating to the fire incident, we were more cautious in making sure the children were safe. However at the same time, my curse was slowly becoming a nightmare to my life as it slowly spread. I had only a few weeks to live as I was turning forty soon, it was most likely that I would die on my birthday.Richard has been doing a lot of thinking about it, turning me into a vampire would still not help me, as Emir herself rendered it useless. "You don't look like you've been ageing like the rest of us." Vanessa said as she helped me out of bed.I stood next to a mirror and stared at myself, she was right, I looked like nothing had changed because I kept taking Richard's blood as supplement, to think I was going to die looking this young.

I didn't expect to meet his sister as I presumed both were dead but I was wrong, Malicay wasn't going from one place to another for nothing, he was gathering clues, it was due to this that he discovered his sister's survival, Emir was also brought here, from what he said, they each had a story to tell.Erika broke it down to us in a story she discovered while hiding from her mother.Apparently it all started when the queen, Malicays' mother, had to pass her throne to her husband because she was a woman and deemed unfit. She decided to change her fate and so she came up with a strategy. After searching for answers for many years, she met with Delets and made a deal with him.'I'll give you the power you

"Dad?"It was only natural for me to be confused. Out of everyone present in this room, he should be the least that knows but not only does he know what's going on, but my sister Vanessa knew as well, how did I know? It's because her cheeks turn red whenever she's caught in a lie. "I know you are startled as well, and believe me, it came as a shock to me to find out the dark secrets of your mother's family."Mother's family. That's right, we were called Daniel's. I'm of my brother's bloodline, the box father gave me had Daniel's face on it, and in it, I found that he was a vampire hunter.In sudden realisation, I turn around and face my brother what's looks away.

Chapter 109.As I screamed and rolled, I felt many hands hold me down and I came to my senses, I’m still in my room. Am sure I went out this morning, was I really daydreaming? Cold sweat drops down my face and my body trembles each time I try to move, then a familiar voice echoes in the room. “What did you do to her this time?” It was one of the men who had arrived with Malicay last night. I couldn’t help but stare at him as I saw myself down to him, however I could not see his face properly, as my eyes felt heavy. “Answer me.” He yelled."Don't you dare yell at me, she's only suffering because of your stupid deal, or did you preharps forget, she's going to be forty this year. She has less than months to live." That was Richard's voice, I'm certain of it. But
