"Are..are you okay, dear?", Serena peeks inside Edward's room, finding Erin sitting quietly on the bed while staring at the ground.There wasn't any reply in return, only silence at first. But then Erin politely said, "I'm okay". A sad smile is printed behind it as she answers with a mellow voice.Messed up hair, bleeding lips and some injuries on her body are the proof of the 9brutality that took place a while ago in this very room and in front of everyone present here. Edward rushed outside the house not very long after he had dragged Erin from the dining hall. As soon as Edward closed the door….only screams came out of the room and whispers got left behind.
"Ron, is he okay?"Fiona, who is sitting at the end of the bed asks Ron, the one checking Rowan thoroughly.He is wearing a worried look and frowning his eyes under those thick glasses. Shaking his head, he answers, "I really don't know. I've never seen such red scales in my whole life. These aren't coming off. And it seems he is in some kind of deep slumber.""Even I never saw these in my life", Oliver murmurs while standing near. Damien closes his eyes in pain as if someone just stabbed him.Ron is a famous doctor who has specialised in surgery and medicine both. Although he is a human, he is also an old acquaintance of Rowan. He met him while he w
"Hello? Yes!......What?!!...Yes! Yes!! Coming right away!", the girl with deep brown hair and wearing a police uniform, hurriedly keeps the phone back.A man standing in the glass room was watching over her while she was over the phone and making scary faces. It's rather troublesome since there's been news of a serial killer roaming in the city and killing anyone anywhere! And the police are getting daily calls informing dead bodies in different places. The whole station has been in chaos for the past few weeks.After the call, the girl keeps looking at the file in front of her. It's fattening up that makes her eyes frowning. She is so busy thinking that she lost time noticing a pair of eyes observing her reactions intense
"Ma'am, how are you feeling today?", a young man enters the room wearing a day like smile on his face. The ambience of the room changed as soon as his footsteps imprint on the ground. He places the box on the table that he has been holding since the beginning and slowly starts opening.Venessa, who was looking outside the window watching two birds flying after each other and fighting, rather found it amusing when they sat on her window's end and peeking inside with curiosity as soon as the young man entered. She wheels her head toward the man, "Your presence is really admirable. Look at those two little things watching your way!", pointing at those birds, Venessa said.The young man laughs out loudly on Venessa referring to him
"This is ridiculous! It's been weeks since we informed him about Lily's state. And yet there's no sign of visiting?!"Bill shouts out loudly at Howard who is worried as much as him.Lily who is exhausted by the sunlight and has been enduring the consequences of being a pure vampire, is currently lying down on the bed and asking for blood relentlessly. Howard sighs at the sight. They were so into looking for Kevin that they had forgotten about Lily who couldn't tolerate the sunlight at all even though she tortured herself to that extent where she could easily put up with it. However, a curse can't be betrayed until it's lifted.Lily's whole body is undergoing fatigue and anemia. Blood is the most wanted for this situation and Howard c
"Tina! Hurry up with your file, please!", John shouts at her and then dashes to other tables while consulting with the team leaders around the room. Filled with the infuriating sound of computer keys and loads of files in front of her eyes, Tina's death is near. And there will be headlines of a girl dying under the piles of office files for the first time!Tina vigorously shakes her head denying the image of her untimely death. She slaps her face more than twice and keeps blinking, waking herself up from the nightmare she has been having while sleeping during work. As she takes a peek at the opened file on her desk, she discovers little of her saliva has made a cute little map on it. She gulps at the thought of getting caught by John. After all she has to hand it to him in the end now that Erin isn't around.
The whole room is in sync with darkness. Not that there's no light in here. Moreover, it will be ridiculous to say that the room is dark only because the famous and most wanted vampire, Lord Edward Frost, is incapable of getting lightbulbs around the house. The reason behind such a hideous deed is indeed to hide oneself.Edward takes a deep breath as he looks outside the window. Night has risen from its deep slumber and so have the night howlers. The long howling voice of them is longer than usual. Seems that their pack has scattered and is busy looking for each other. Well, it doesn't bother him unless they cause any harm. Because he is weaker than before.Lack of human blood consumption has already made Edward frail. However, he doesn't
"Let's stop here for now!"Julius waves his hands as he walks away towards the mansion, leaving Erin dumbfounded on the training field. "But it's been twenty minutes only!", she shouts back, refusing to go back inside since they just started practicing a while ago. Julius sighs while facing Erin," We've been doing the same thing, Hon." he says with an annoyed tone and wearing a tired look. Erin also sighs at him in return…… It's been days since Julius has started Erin's training so that she can unleash the vampire powers within her. He has improved from his bedridden state some days ago and didn't waste a moment to fulfil the promise that he gave to Erin. However, he is realising bit by bit how hard it
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
