"They are both safe," Ragnor announced with a smile.With that, Ragnor and Clara survived another day and things went back to normal for a while with Siku and everyone else lying low. Nonetheless, Ragnor was always protective of Clara. It's either Clara was with him or with Nyota. Ragnor ensured Clara was never left alone. Ragnor started performing his kingly duties and ensuring everything was in place. Siku had asked Jessica to lay low for a while as she searched for Andrews. Siku knew Andrews was back in the city but for one reason, he had gone into hiding. Andrews neither answered Siku's calls nor joined any gathering. He was completely missing in action. Even Jessica could not reach him. Everything seems peaceful. Ragnor got a call from his butler in San Francisco."Master, the governor is ready to meet you. He wants to know which day in the upcoming week would work for you," came the butler's voice.Ragnor's lips curved into a smile. Finally, his dreams were about to materialize.
The governor was confused so the butler clarified things for him. "His wife is calling out to him," the butler informed the governor. "Can vampires call out to each other in silence?" the governor asked amazed. Ragnor and his team left the senator's office with Ragnor walking ahead of them. He closed his eyes a couple of times, but his vision of Clara was very blurry. The butler did the needful and thanked the medical practitioners who had come with them to see the governor and quickly went to sit behind the wheel. The medical practitioners also sat in their car and they all drove out of the compound towards a different destination. "Quickly drive to the airport," Ragnor instructed the chauffeur and changed back to himself. "Call the airport now and book a flight for me. I am going back to the palace," Ragnor instructed the butler and closed his eyes again but still couldn't see Clara clearly enough to understand what was happening. The butler pulled out his phone, went online
Ragnor had left the Immortal City to meet the governor concerning the human-vampire alliance. He planned to return the same day and hence could not risk-taking Clara who was in her first trimester of pregnancy period. Ragnor asked his mum to help him look after his wife knowing Siku would want to harm her in his absence. He equally made Clara promise him she would not go anywhere alone. Feeling he had secured Clara enough; he went on his trip. Things didn't go as Ragnor had hoped. Clara's discomfort made him cut short the purpose of his trip and return to the palace only to find out that Clara was badly wounded and his bay was gone. Ragnor left the palace to search for Siku. He had a strong feeling that Siku or Jessica had a hand in this even though he doesn't know exactly what happened but if Siku is guilty, he would end her. Siku on the other hand, sat on her bed in her family house, thinking of what to do."By now Clara is dead and Ragnor has found out," Siku thought.Siku was awa
Siku's mother had paid the price of helping Siku, escape. Siku would pay the price of terminating Ragnor's baby and burning his woman. Ragnor thought as he exited the trashed apartment in anger making plans on how to find Siku while Siku's mother lay on the floor screaming in pain. News had already gotten to Maddox of what had happened to Clara, and he knew his wife and daughter had a hand in it. He instantly became worried knowing Ragnor would never forgive them. Maddox saw Ragnor leave the palace and he immediately knew Ragnor was going to search for Siku, so he followed him from a distance. Maddox hid himself a distance away from their apartment and heard the screaming of his wife. "Can he save his wife?" Maddox thought as he watched Ragnor leave the house taking long strides with anger evident on his face. After Ragnor left, Maddox waited for a while before rushing into the building. It was a complete mess. Aside from the sofa and tables and chairs that were still in their
"Son, where are you? Please come back, your wife needs you," Nyota said in her mind, hoping Ragnor would hear her wherever he was.Ragnor was still out searching for Siku. Clara, even though she could not speak, was now feeling abandoned, she had not seen Ragnor for days now. Her tears soaked the bandage covering her face. Nyota could tell Clara was unhappy and that was not helping with her recovery in any way. Nyota had gone in search of Ragnor but could not find him. She stood in front of the palace and tried to use her ability to call him but remembered that ability only worked on Clara. The way to get him now was to put Clara through pain. It was not the best of ideas but it was the only way. Nyota stood outside for a while and with this thought in mind, she returned to Ragnor's room. Clara was sleeping when Nyota entered. She asked Alberta to leave her alone with Clara and Alberta obliged. Alone with Clara, Nyota closed her eyes and the colour of her eyes turned gold."This gonna
As Ragnor lay on the bed next to Clara, he was in deep thought, thinking about how to get Clara out of the pain she was going through now. He knew he had it in him to heal her but was not sure what to do. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and called his dad sitting on the bed. Ragnor told George everything that had happened. He only mentioned going to San Francisco but informed him he would give him details in person. "Daddy, my heart breaks seeing her in so much pain. I know I can help her but I don't know how," Ragnor said. "I understand my son. Surviving such an attack tells me you two are well-bonded. She may be human, but she has part of your power running in her and this is why she was able to survive," George said. "This means, it is very easy to heal her. The answer is in one of your forms. Are you with her now?" George added. "Yes, Dad" Ragnor replied turning to look at Clara's sleeping face. "Good, carry her in your arms and change your forms while holding her. Foll
Ragnor went to the rooftop. He needed to be alone with his thoughts. Some ground rules need to be set. He stood there looking out in the open for a while. Later that afternoon, Ragnor assembled the people of the city. The people waited patiently for their king to address them. The people all realize Siku's seat and that of her mother were empty even though everyone was present. Once everyone was sited. Ragnor stood in front to address the people."Our land is supposed to be a land of peace. We are supposed to feel safe when we go to bed and feel safe going about our daily activities," Ragnor said, paused and looked at the people.The vampire lords knew what Ragnor was about to say. Even though they wished to stop him it was difficult to do so because of how Ragnor was presenting the situation. If they stop him, the people will protest. "It is for this reason," Ragnor continued, "I would not allow the evil doers of the city to go unpunished," he concluded.Ragnor went on to tell the
There was a knock and Clara went to open it and was surprised to see Jessica at the door. "Jessica!" Clara screamed and hugged her excitedly and ushered her into the house."I miss you, my dear friend. Where have you been?" Clara said as she walked Jessica into the living room. Ragnor was unpacking their stuff in the bedroom when he felt the presence of another vampire. He sniffed the air and frowned. "Jessica," he murmured under his breath.In the living room, Jessica and Clara sat on the same sofa catching up on old times but Clara was careful not to disclose anything about vampirism and her life in the Immortal City. To Clara who Ragnor truly is, is a security she was not ready to share with her friend, Jessica no matter how trustworthy she is."You look different? Are you pregnant already?" Jessica teased.Claras's expression suddenly turned downcast remembering the abortion carried out on her when her pregnancy was just 8 weeks old and her eyes suddenly became tearer."Did I sa
