Rose who felt relaxed after spilling the truth was glad that there was no negative reaction from Dominic. She knew he must felt a stormy emotions inside him right now and she was correct. But with their body entangled on the bed in a hug, that was enough to put them to rest together, to keep their tired heart a little pause from the fast moving world. Meanwhile, Mona who had locked herself in her room was in the middle of an experiment. She placed a blue colored liquid into a transparent glass beaker. Her eyes stared how the color quickly switched when it touched the red water.“I think I can do this now,” she murmured, pulling the flask of thick blood which she had stolen from Starvos without his notice. She recalled how she had tried to deceive Starvos to steal his blood and was certain that there would be no more chances for her to take his blood without his notice. “That’s why werewolves are troublesome,” whispered Mona. “But if I messed it up now, I would be royally fucked,” s
Rose reached out her hand to hold on to Dominic’s. They then stride toward the house, looking around to find how on a closer look the neighbor houses were empty. Rose gulped, wondering if there was even anyone alive near them.As she entered she found the dark couch with the main chair settled right in front of it which belonged to Hannah Maury who had taken a seat on it. Hannah Maury stared at what’s in front of her which was a teacup. Seeing that Rose and Dominic had entered she smiled, offering the seats in front of her with her hands, “Come over.” Rose felt uneasy with her smile but Dominic encouraged her by leading them both to the seats. As they sat down, Hannah Maury hummed for a long time, waiting for Starvos and Mona who later entered and seat near the chair on her left. “You asked what I wanted?” Hannah Maury questioned, softening the curves of her lips. “I wanted knowledge.” Rose bite her lips, “Do you also form a contract with a demon?” Hannah Maury looked at Rose and
Hannah Maury went silent hearing her words. A small laughter slipped from her mouth that began to get louder and echo all over the room. She pushed her hair to the back of her head and looked back at Rose with her shoulders still shaking, “I can’t do that. Just because I want a successor doesn’t mean that I want to die now either. I want someone who can continue my legacy after I die, not me wanting to die.” Rose sighed plainly as her green eyes rolled aside. The lights from her eyes had disappeared, giving her the coldest look on her face that Dominic had never seen until now. “Well then that means you won’t have a successor,” Rose looked at Dominic, whispering, “Are you ready?” Dominic knew this was her sign to fight. He smiled and whispered back to her, “Even if the sky fall, I will be here facing it all with you.” Rose smiled, then turning her face to Hannah Maury whose face quickly morphed into a wretched expression as anger turned her beautiful face frightening to be looked
“I would say that you are insane,” Starvos chuckled as he saw her hand moving forward, causing the sharp thorn to be thrown to his side, almost piercing his shoulders. “But I am also insane.” Mona who had been holding to his hand from the side, continue to shut her eyes, whispering a magic spell without breaking a single breath. Starvos’s eyes fell on her who didn’t stop the spell, “Are you sure this will work?” “Of course if you are indeed a strong as you proclaimed yourself to be, this magic will for sure protect you,” Mona whispered to him, “But remember not to use this recklessly. I’ll take care of the thorns and you take care of hers.” “Well plantation had never been my forte but killing humans are,” Starvos grinned and when Mona released his hand, he cracked his neck, stretching his wrist that he felt ache a little. “Come here you bitch. I need to make sure you feel the same pain Elizabeth went through.” Hannah Maury still hold herself together even as she was against the tw
Hannah Maury stared at her blankly as though shocked and didn’t expect what she had heard. “What did you say?” She quickly demanded for Rose, her granddaughter to repeat her words. “I think you don’t know how deeply that black magic had gotten into your heart. I had heard it from the Master how people who had used dark magic and summoned demon will have their purest heart colored in black and corrupted by the devils’ thoughts,” whispered out Rose who had brought up the truth. She walked closer to her grandmother, her eyebrow sloping gently. “Grandmother, did you really had called up the demon because you wanted knowledge? Wasn’t it because you wanted a power to avenge yourself who had been betrayed?”Hannah Maury who had never been scared of people ever since she had acquired her power took a step behind, appearing shocked by Rose’s sharp yet honest words. Rose smiled as she understood now what was wrong. “Grandmother, why did you marry grandfather? You don’t like him, you still lik
Hannah spoke with a small laugh in her voice, “Tell me then Rose. What is it that you are scared of?” Rose didn’t reply to her, knowing this was the way for Hannah Maury to take advantage of hers. Rose held Dominic’s hand and Hannah’s eyes fell right at their hands that tightly grasped each other’s. Her lips purse and her eyebrows raised sharply. She then said, “I see… it is quite a simple answer, isn’t it? You told me yourself that you don’t want to lose him. Meaning that man right beside you is your weakness, am I wrong?” Rose’s jaw tick but Dominic held her hand tighter, “Calm down,” he whispered to her. “You are playing to her tune.” Rose pulled herself together again, agreeing with his words that she was falling to Hannah’s trick, knowing the woman wanted her to suffer. Hannah ran over her fingers from her neck which was wounded by Starvos. With one swipe the wound disappeared. Rose frowned as she noticed it was another type of black magic. The more black magic Hannah used,
Rose’s eyes snapped opened and she immediately went to search for Dominic’s hands that had been around her, finding him missing that frightened her. Rose at once pushed herself from the ground, only to realize how she hadn’t worn any shoes to protect her feet. Rose looked around, confused as she had found herself in the side of a river alone. Underneath her was a meadow of flowers, while she stood at the edge, as though she was trying to cross over the river to arrive on the other side. Feeling confused, Rose wondered if this was related to the magic circle that had been drawn under Hannah. But as she recalled about Hannah, anger filled her heart. She couldn’t believe that she had lost everything! Now, they won’t have any other method to end the curse in Dominic… except if she formed a contract with a demon… As Rose panicked, she felt a warm touch on her fingers, startling her to the point that she had almost threw herself to the river. Turning her face, she found the dewy innocen
“What are you trying to say?” Rose asked him for the demon to smile. “I am not like others, I don’t play tricks so you don’t have to be cautious. I mean my own words. In my heart, I just want to enjoy people’s life, especially humans. Their life is short that’s why they always do things to make sure their short life won’t regret it,” the demon said. His understanding of humans were almost perfect but Rose wasn’t convinced. “Just because you told me to trust you, I wouldn’t at once believe you, I’m sure you understand that too,” Rose saw him who then nodded his head gently. “Of course. That’s only smart for you to do so,” the demon spoke without sounding unreasonable, making her to wonder if he was really as sane as he proclaimed himself to be. “But you should also remember that you are running out of time.” The boy stood up. His hand turned into a circle when he connect his index finger to his thumb. He then settled his eyes in the circle he made, looking directly to Dominic. Afte
