Edward is examining the dead body. Erin tried to run away after seeing such a brutal scene. There's blood on her dress, face and everywhere in her room. But except for blood, she was most scared when she saw Edward at her house! How the hell did he enter? She couldn't move in fear at first, but when she got her senses she tried to slip through the open door. But alas!! The girl caught her before she could leave, "Where are you going? We came running to your rescue and you are leaving us behind on the crime scene?!" She couldn't say anything to that. And at last, she couldn't run away either.
It's true. Even she can realize now that if Edward hadn't come and killed that mysterious man, then she would have died by now. She can't thank him enough! But it's also true that the same Edward tried to kill her yesterday! As if suddenly a lot of people are after her life. Though she can easily get that every single one of them is a vampire. The man who tried to kill her a while ago also had fangs and he was about to bite her neck. And now when she examines the other five, standing near the dead body, they also have fangs and claws! They are almost the same as Edward and the dead man lying on the floor.
"If I'm being correct here, then he's not an informer but a killer. Maybe a newborn! We are getting information that some new vampires are taking illegal contracts or hunting people for blood. But it doesn't look like this one came here only for her blood!" The man in white hair and sharp face says to Edward. He is thin but handsome. He's a little bit taller than an average man. But he looks great on his get-up. Also his strong but a little bit smooth voice matches with his structure.
"I was also thinking about the same thing. Look at the call list on his phone. Every contact has a name except for this one. And it called near the time Edward came over. It can't be a coincidence!" Another boy who looks the youngest among them tells others while checking the dead man's phone.
The cool-looking girl snatches the phone from his hand and he shouts at her," Hey, give it back. I was looking at it." But it seems that she doesn't give any care what that boy says.
Without paying attention to anyone, Edward approaches Erin who is sitting on her bed like a statue for a while, unable to understand what's going on. He pulls Erin towards him and forcefully brings her face closer. Erin is shocked seeing Edward this close as if he will kiss her any moment now. "Tch! you have blood on your face! Where is your attention? Can't you clean your own face?" He keeps rubbing Erin's cheek and cleans the blood on her face. He has an irritating look which is making Erin scared.
Edward looks at Kevin whose mouth is wide open seeing him caring for a girl for the first time. Edward says, " What are you looking at with that stupid reaction on your face? Inform Julius that we are coming over his house right now! I need to confirm that what I am thinking is true."
Kevin doesn't argue with Edward after seeing that he has been right all this time and moves instantly saying, " Yes, sir. I'm on it." He goes out of the room while looking at his phone. The others are waiting for instructions too. Edward gives them a sign with his fingers and they all jump out from the window of Erin's room.
Now only Edward and Erin are alone in the room with a dead body near them. Edward notices the frightened look on Erin's face who is still looking at the dead man. "He came here to kill you. Do you know why?" Edward asks Erin to divert her attention from that obscene.
Erin looks at Edward with curiosity. Edward laughs looking at her face, "You are naive, honey! You went to the police station right after the incident last night. But you didn't notice that the problem lies in you? You are going to attract more like me if you move freely!! One day they might even kill you."
"You...you... mean other vampires? I...I'm...! I'm not attracting any vampires. But... why?" Erin's voice is shaking while talking to Edward and she takes her eyes away from him, wondering what Edward just said.
Edward realizes the uneasiness in her and says, " You will understand when we meet this man, Julius. If I'm not wrong, then he will also say the same thing that I am thinking." Edward tries to comfort Erin." Did you notice that you had no bite mark on your neck?" Edward asks Erin who is looking at him eagerly to know more.
Now that he is asking her, she remembers not having any bite marks when she wanted to show them to the officer. "Yes!" Erin replies Edward jumping from her bed! "How did you know? I didn't have any bite marks when I went to the police station!!"
Edward is getting angry. Oops!! She has blurted out about the police station! Edward pulls Erin close to him, wrapping his right hand around her waist and brushes his cold fingers through her wet hair. Water is still dripping from it since Erin forgot to dry her hair in this hectic situation.
" You are an idiot. You don't notice tiny matters, blurt out nonsense and also you aren't aware of your position. I tried to kill you yesterday by sucking your blood from your body. You still remember it, don't you? Or not?? How can you be so calm around me? If you aren't aware then let me remind you that I'm still after your sweet blood!", Edward says to Erin with a grin on his face. Erin can feel a chill going down through her backbone!!
Edward bursts out in laughter and starts thumping on the bed, holding his stomach as if it's hurting a lot! He releases Erin from his clutch while doing so. Erin is dumbfounded. What's there to laugh?! What's so funny? "It's really fun teasing you! " He is still laughing.
Erin forgets about her surroundings and starts feeling angry. She shouts out, "What's so fun in teasing me? What did I ever do to you?!" She is pouting in anger.
Edward looks at her after laughing a lot and says, " Why? I have every right to tease my new toy and blood bank!! Who are you to stop me?" He has a devilish look on his face now. It's scarier than the dead body lying on the floor!!
"First of all, I am not your toy. I never was and I never will be. And second of all, who gave you the authority to make me your blood bank. Even if I know that you are a vampire, I won't give you my blood! You drank my blood yesterday and saved my life today. So the account has been closed!!" Erin says with a strict face!
"Yeah sure. As if I ask people before drinking their blood! I have a strong bloodthirst and your blood is the sweetest and most delicious one I've ever drunk! So what made you think that I would let go of you that easily?!" Edward's words are scaring Erin! She is feeling the urge of running away. Though Edward's stern eyes are making her stay still! As if she can't move if he doesn't allow her!
Erin tries to protest Edward. But before she gets the chance, Kevin enters the room rushing! "It has been done, sir. We should go now." Edward gets up from the bed and pulls Erin up! "Let's go."
"Where are we going? I don't want to go with you!!"
" You can argue with me all day. And even if you are thinking of involving the police in this, they can't help you. They will suspect you since you are now known to them as a misleading complainer! You have to go to real people. Which are me and Julius! Now let's move!" Edward tries to make Erin walk. But she is still being persistent.
"What do you mean by misleading?! I told them the truth!!" she is shouting while trying to release her hand from Edward.
"Ugh!! It's hard to tolerate you!!" Edward pulls Erin to him and then picks her up. She's struggling on his shoulder to let her go. Kevin is following Edward with a worried look. Even if he says something on behalf of Erin, nothing will go his way!! He is also helpless. Though Erin is shouting to him for help.
When they come out of Erin's house, people on the street start looking at them. They are asking each other about what's happening. Edward gives them a stare and surprisingly they start going on their way as if Edward, Erin and Kevin are completely invisible to them!! Did he just use some kind of power? Erin keeps wondering, but she's still trying to release her from Edward.
Although it seems he doesn't have any plan to let her go. He opens the door of her car and almost throws Erin on the backseat!! "Ouch!" Erin lets out a small sound, hitting her head on the ceiling of the car while getting up. Edward gets inside and sits on the driver's seat, locking all the doors of the car. Erin can feel that it's pointless now since she is captivated by the tyrant vampire!! Edward starts the car.
Venessa and Rowan have come back home right after Edward leaves the house with Erin. It's so calm now as if nothing happened a while ago. But this silence is scaring them more. Because they already guessed that it's not a peaceful silence, rather it's the silent moment after a tornado has passed away.Venessa keeps calling her daughter, "Erin! Erin?!". But nobody answers her back. So she rushes to Erin's room and she lets out a scream seeing the dead body on the floor!Rowan runs to the spot and finds out the devastating state of the room, blood splashed all over the place!! Venessa hides her face into Rowan's tight hug. She is so afraid to look!!Rowan lets go of Venessa and starts observing the dead body. "It's a newborn impure vampire. Look at his neck. There's still a faint sign of a bite mark!! He was maybe here for blood!"Venessa gets scared hearing what Rowan just said. "Do you mean that he was here for Erin's blood?""It's possible. But ho
Julius is close to Edward as if he's Edward's father. Edward used to come to his house more often when he was a kid, but he suddenly stopped after he had become the lord of his clan. Julius invited him several times, but he refused them. He couldn't even get hold of Kevin so that he could speak with Edward through him. It seems ĺlike Edward has cut all his ties with him. He is walking around his study room looking at his wall clock in intervals. "Why are they being so late?" is what's going on in his mind now. He’s eagerly waiting for Edward. Julius's patience comes to an end when he hears the sound of a car. He looks through his window and then rushes to open the door. Edward, Erin and Kevin are standing at the door after ringing the bell once. Erin struggled in the car to get out at first. She even tried to break the glasses. But they were so strong that sh
Erin is getting a brief lecture from Edward about vampires. That's what she gets when she challenges the big boss and he comes out of his den! He was boiling when Erin humiliated him in front of Julius and Kevin. This is the return gift to her. Julius has gone inside to help Serena a while ago. So Kevin and Erin are stuck with Edward. She's making a sick face. Everything Edward is explaining, going over her head and he doesn't even repeat like Julius, " You asked Julius why the count lord will try to kill you, right? That's because one of the previous lords made the rule to kill every single rare vampire since they were increasing in number. Pure vampires were on the verge of their extinction. Count Dracula was a pure vampire and since his lineage was about to end, the count lord made the law 'Burn the rare'. Edward gives a pause and Erin
Edward joins others at the table in a while. He is surprised to see that all his favourite dishes are cooked. They smell nice and look delicious. It's been years since he last came to Julius's house. But they haven't forgotten about him and it shows perfectly in these small details. Edward's guilt is choking him. Even though the foods are to his taste, they aren't going down his throat. He is on the verge of crying in front of everyone. On the other hand, Erin has already made herself comfortable around Julius and Serena since their polite and lovely behaviour resembles her mother's. So she is feeling as if she is at home. It's relaxing and the food is also great. It can be said without any doubt that Aunt Serena is a good cook. " How's the food, dear? I hope they suit your taste.", Serena asks Edward and Erin at the same time. Edward's thoughts get cut in the middle and he looks at Serena in surprise. His eyes are wavering and they are filled with tears.
After dinner, Erin and Kevin join Serena and Julius's love story session. Edward went to his room right after finishing his dinner. He was looking a little bit pale.While Serena asked him if he was okay, he said," Don't worry. I am okay. Just feeling a little bit down."Though he said that, Julius is feeling worried since he has a problem in controlling his thirst for blood and thus he needs to drink blood every six hours. But he has reduced the difference by controlling him more. Now he only drinks once every day.Since Julius forced him to stay here, he is worried if he has disrupted his routine or not. Serena has already prepared a stock of animal blood from their part. But he hasn't come out of his room after dinner. So they can't guess what's happening in the room! It can turn into a massive situation if something goes wrong with Edward.Even Kevin has noticed Edward's uneasiness. But Julius has assured him that they have prepared for the upcoming,
Erin has lost her way to the room after drinking water since it's too dark to see. She is having it hard to find the switches and it's suddenly raining outside. On top of that, the frequent flashes of lightning and thundering are scaring her. It was too easy to go to the kitchen, but why is it hard to go back to the room?She is wandering around the hall, walking far away from the windows. It's scary! "I should have brought aunt Serena with me if I knew it was going to rain suddenly.", says Erin. Her voice is breaking the silence of the hall, working perfectly with the rebellious nature. Well...she is doing this to kick out her inner fear.Erin is getting angry being unable to find the right way and feeling the urge to shout out to someone! But she restrains herself since she has no intention to wake up others for such an unnecessary matter. It will be so embarrassing. So she keeps walking using her own intuition. Though she doesn't know where it will lead her in the e
Edward's standing right in front of the house. But he was supposed to be hiding. Julius is at the door of Edward's room and Kevin is inside the room. Serena is hiding Erin while focusing on reading those vampire's thoughts at the same time.The rustling sound of leaves and the heavy pouring are breaking the silence of the night. The wind is blowing fast. Edward's drenched all over because if raining. Well, nobody offered him to stand in front of the door though. Either he has lost his mind in the excitement of beating all the vampires or he is crazy from the beginning."It's been ages since I have killed someone. Let's take the full chance of this opportunity now, shall we?", Edward shrugs and pulls over his sleeves. His claws and fangs are coming out.The vampires are getting closer and their footsteps can be heard now. They are so fast that the ground is shaking a bit. Some are running in the tree branches. So the trees are bending down because of their force.
Edward was carrying Erin on his shoulder when he left the room. But he is now carrying her in his arms. Erin wraps her arms around him and hides her face in Edward's chest. She is crying while being carried to the car. Though it's raining, Edward's shirt is covered with blood."Don't wet my valuable shirt. Stop crying and move away from me.", Edward orders Erin to move since her face will smear in blood if she keeps rubbing it on the shirt. But she is holding him more tightly now. Edward gives up. There's no point in telling Erin, she doesn't listen to anyone unless she wants to.They go to the car and Edward puts Erin on the passenger seat beside Kevin. She is looking down, tears are flowing down from her face. Her face is all red. Edward pulls Erin's cheeks."Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! It's hurting.", Erin shouts. She keeps rubbing her red cheeks since they are burning in pain."Stop crying. Otherwise, I will tear them. Melodramatic woman!", says Edward in an ir
Dracula Castle, Romania. A few days later after ending the war…The lords have gathered to discuss an important issue and that is “Who will be the next Count Lord?” Erin isn’t interested in it at all. She’s just happy to see Edward and others are fine. Even Ian has recovered from his injuries. So there’s no need to be getting involved furthermore after hearing the hateful words that are thrown at her. Moreover, some people don’t wish her to become their master. Erin glares at Raphael who can barely hold his grin. Uriel, the culprit behind this ruckus, is sitting beside him and grumbling about being chained. His punishment will be decided today. However, it doesn’t seem like he will be receiving the death penalty, thanks to certain someone. It doesn’t matter to Erin. Although she agrees with the fact that Uriel is the reason behind the war, she can’t shake off the feeling that her very existence is also a threat to the whole community. That’s why she has made up her mind! "My decis
-Howard’s dead! Do you realise what it means? He’s no longer with us! Will you take responsibility for him?... This! THIS WASN’T OUR FIGHT, TO BEGIN WITH! Why do we have to suffer? A man shouts in anger before he bursts into crying. Obviously, he’s frustrated as much as he’s sad about losing someone important to him. He wishes to keep complaining, but his words are getting stuck in his throat. Some comforting voices float around the air and make their way to Erin’s ears. She doesn’t know for how long she has been sleeping, but it feels like ages now that her muscles are sore. Although she can barely open her eyes, she tries to find out the owner of that angry voice. However, she fails repeatedly and gives up in the end. -Bill is right! We’re dragged into this mess when we aren’t supposed to be involved. A girl’s voice! It’s familiar and yet distant all of a sudden. Not long ago, this person was the one who stood up for Erin! Then…why is it sounding strange to her? After all, what’s
"Le..let me..GO!""Fufufu! How does it feel to get crushed on? Is it amusing?" Rowan, who is now possessed by Orus, gets closer to Erin's face which has turned red since she can't breathe. While trying her best to escape from his grip, Erin has no choice but to listen to his nonsense.Surprisingly, Rowan stops talking all of a sudden and keeps observing her before saying, "So weak! Can't think of a reason why you were chosen to bear the 'Dragon's fate'. So pitiful for someone who upholds both the power of God and the Devil. Tch!" "What's this stupid demon talking about?" Erin isn’t insane to wonder about such lousy conversation while her lifeline is about to get cut. She keeps thinking of a way to get out but finds none. Only the crazy laughter of Rowan rings in her ears as he exclaims in joy, "I'm feeling so good right now!" His grip becomes tighter than before as he sniffs Erin's neck in a swoop. "Delish!" "I sa...id...Fuck Off!" "SHHH!!!! Tch! Ahh...my ears! Can't you scream a
"Do you think they can handle it?" "You worry a lot, old man. Relax! Master can finish the enemy with one blow!" "If it was that easy, I wouldn't have worried about it." "Sheesh! It's hard to ensure you. Well, we'll see that for later. For now, I've to take you to a safe place. Otherwise, the master will kill me!" Bill runs faster towards the heart of the forest. Soon the battle ground vanishes from Julius's eyes as he looks back to monitor the situation and yet the sound of clashing swords isn't disappearing. As if the whole world is bearing witness to today's incident. Julius couldn't help it when he was forced to leave Edward's side. Rowan inflicted a heavy injury on him which almost caused him to faint due to loss of blood. The terror in Edward's eyes is unforgettable! Even his men were terrorized. Rowan was extremely powerful as if the news of him being sick was nothing but a nonsense spouted as a joke. His physical strength was surpassing the whole clan. It was nothing li
"This is getting out of hand!""We should lure them towards the open field. The training ground is narrow enough to make moving hard for us.""But what to do about this rapid fire?!" Ario shouts in irritation. He can barely block the bullets with a thin shield and yet he's trying his best. The two other men are also struggling. Erin can't blame them when she isn’t even in shape to fight anymore. Rather, she says, "I've got an idea. Let's split! One party will distract them while the other makes a run for the field."After a small pause, Ario replies with a soft nod, "Sounds great to me. I'll help you to climb.""No, wait!" Erin disrupts Ario who is about to pick her up and suggests, pointing at the two men, "Let them move before us."The two men seem bewildered. However, there's no time to spare in argument. They both agree immediately and make a long jump for the roof while Ario and Erin are backing them up. The enemies are trying to corner them more than before. Due to the lack of
"Lan! Is there any way where I can kill Orus without harming him?" "Not that it's impossible, but you’re not capable of pulling that off yet." "Meaning?" "Simple! Without the help of Mandira, you can't do it." Erin recalls her time when she was stuck in that endless world. Among those seven dragons, Mandira was the one who didn’t have any kind of supernatural power that could be seen and yet her power surpassed others. She's a dragon who uses her powers through tarot cards. It may seem funny but she has the ability to see the opposite side of her cards and pull out a suitable one. Her dragon powers are installed in those cards, so she can make wishes come true by using them. Erin had the opportunity to witness her power. Unlike Orus or other people who can manipulate someone with the help of words or other means, Mandira is unable to do that. When she learnt that her powers didn’t have any physical form, she tried the tarot cards as an easy means. Her mother was a gypsy and she u
“Whoa, what’s that?” “Is that Lord Uriel? Why’s he flying?!” “Don’t tell me! After Master Rowan, now another legend?” “Unlike the master, his wings are so black and shiny. Just like a bat. Isn’t that gorgeous?” “Yeah! But, doesn’t he look kind of different than usual? Is he the one who just broke the underground dungeon where that woman is kept?” “You bet!” “What could he be doing there?” “Don’t know, but…Something doesn’t feel right.” The castle guards are fussing
"My lord, you should leave now. There's a hidden door behind the second staircase which will lead you to the secret dungeon." Oliver whispers to Edward while fighting nearby. He further assures, "We'll be watching your back. So, hurry!" Edward grins at him. Taking his last line as a joke, he says, "Rather watching my back, you should hold your men at first. You look like you’re struggling quite a bit here to need my men's support." Oliver can't believe Edward acting arrogantly when someone's life's in jeopardy. He remembers a saying, "Arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand" and it truly applies to him. Unfortunately, he can't say it to his face! Composing himself, Oliver politely replies to Edward, "My lord, you’re right. I'm unworthy and that's why I need some time to strengthen the bond between me and my men. Would you kindly
“Where did I keep it?”“Hurry up, Oliver!!”“Can’t you shut your mouth for a while?”“TCH!”Keeping the door slightly open, Ario gets out of the room to guard it. Thankfully, everyone is busy discussing the rare vampire that they don’t have the time in hand to look after the castle. The rummaging sound through the papers is irritating Ario, but he can’t make a sound while Oliver is busy looking for the documents. They’re from Willow who is known as Uriel’s informer. Or maybe was! He’s missing since Oliver left the castle, not even a trace of his dead body!It’s surpris
