Ragnor arrived with Clara at his mansion at noon. He landed on the balcony of his bedroom. He took Clara in and laid her on the bed. He returned to his human form and stepped out of the room. The first person he met was the butler."Master, you are back," the butler said surprised but Ragnor frowned, not responding to him and his gaze turned cold."Prepare some soup for Clara," Ragnor commanded and the butler acknowledged, bowing to him."Should I bring it to the room once it's ready?" the butler inquired."Yes," replied Ragnor and he returned to his room.When Ragnor entered the room, he heard Clara calling out to him. He rushed to her side and sat on the bed. He held her hand in his."Ragnor?" Clara called out to him again, her voice very weak and her eyes still closed."Hey, love, it's me Ragnor, I am here," Ragnor replied but he was met with her silence. Ragnor couldn't tell exactly what was wrong with Clara because her vitals were fine so why was she not waking up? First, guess,
Ragnor hugged Clara tightly, kissing the top of her head multiple times. Nyota sat in the living room looking at them."I was scared. I thought I lost you," Ragnor whispered to Clara."I was so terrified. I felt like I was never going to see you again and it scared me," Clara said, her head resting on his well-formed chest and her arms wrapped around him.Ragnor kept Clara in his embrace rubbing her back tenderly as they enjoyed each other's warmth. "I don't know what happened. All I remember was, that I was with Mum and I got thirsty. I drank the water on the table and started feeling funny. So, I decided to lie on the bed for a while," she said and moved her hand to her chest as if in pain. "Then I felt a sharp pain in my chest. It hurt really bad but I couldn't scream and the room became so dark. The pain stopped but I felt like I was dreaming. I couldn't find you," she said sounding so terrified."Ssshhhsss," Ragnor said. "It's okay, I am here now," he comforted her but was angry
"Thanks, son, I appreciate this a lot," George said at the other end of the call.They spoke for a while and made a few decisions on how to get the city to bounce back. The call eventually came to an end and Ragnor joined the ladies in the living room to watch the news. "The governor, in his reign has made an incredible achievement. He selected several medical doctors and had them trained on how to manage incurable diseases. These doctors have been distributed to various hospitals to assist the medical practitioners in managing such patients. This decision has helped reduce the mortality and families are now happy to have their loved ones cured of what was meant to be their end," said the reporter."I have with me here today one of the patients who was diagnosed with an incurable disease. Today she is looking perfectly fine after being attended to by these newly trained medical personnel. Let's hear what she has to say," said the reporter."I was told by the doctor that I have a few d
She stood up and wanted to return to the bedroom but started feeling dizzy again so she sat back down. "Are you alright?" Maddox asked Siku."I am fine," Siku replied angrily and went back inside. Maddox shook his head in resignation and ate the steak on his plate. Siku decided to lay on the bed for a while but she started feeling nauseous. She got up and quickly ran into the washroom to throw up. "What is happening to me?" Siku thought and threw up some more. Her father, Maddox, entered the room and heard her throwing up. He frowned and entered the bathroom. "My dearest daughter, you are dying," Maddox said."What, what do you mean I am dying?" Siku questioned. "There is a spell on you and it's acting now. I can smell it," Maddox replied. "That is what happens when you play with things you are not supposed to," he added. Siku staggered out of the bathroom and went to lie on the bed. Maddox watched Siku as she suffered."Ragnor did this to me," Siku said while lying on the bed f
They were met by two guards who per Ragnor's instructions escorted them to the place Ragnor had mentioned. They soon arrived and the two guards stood at the entrance as Maddox and Siku sat next to each other waiting for Ragnor. It felt like forever as minutes turned into hours. Maddox was patient as he knew Ragnor was a man of his word. However, Siku was getting agitated. "Are you sure he is going to come?" Siku questioned impatiently. "He would come. Had staying in those ruins with the evil creature made you forget who Ragnor is?" Maddox retorted. Siku rolled her eyes, "You are not the one dying so it's easy for you to remain calm," she said and lowered her head as if in pain again. "We have been sitting here for 4 hours now", Siku pointed out but before Maddox could react, they both heard footsteps and the guards at the gate bowed immediately. "Apologies for keeping you waiting. I had an emergency meeting," Ragnor said and took his seat on a chair facing Siku and her father
Ragnor was in the palace when he sensed something strange in the air but he had already gotten word that Siku and Maddox had left the city so where was this coming from?In the hideout, Siku thought of a plan. She tore her clothes and gave herself knife wounds. She came out of her hiding place and lay down on the ground just a distance away from the outer gate. She lay there for hours until one guard moved to check why the two guards at the gate were not responding. He saw Siku lying there and quickly rushed to her side. Recognizing her, the guard hesitated but seeing her condition, he carried her into the City. He sent her to the clinic and quickly went to inform Ragnor about it. "My king," the guard said bowing first. "I found Princess Siku, lying on the ground a couple of distances away from the outer gate, unconscious. Her clothes were torn and she was wounded," the guard reported. "Who else was with her?" Ragnor asked calmly. "It was just her," replied the guard."Where is she
"She is showing remorse, and I didn't know something could terrify her. She is scared," Ragnor said. "I don't get it," he added."Could it be, that her near-death experience had taught her a lesson and also the fact that she had become an enemy of this kingdom and can no longer enjoy the privileges she was enjoying before she had learnt a lesson?" George said."No, nothing changes her behaviour, not even stripping her of her royalty as long as she can still provide the luxury she wants," Ragnor pointed out."Maybe she can't afford a luxurious living anymore," George pointed out."No, I checked, she can," Ragnor replied "It could also be a trap," he added."You think she will kill her father just to plan revenge on you?" George questioned."I am not sure. Anything is possible with her but the thing is, Siku may have a dark soul but she loves her family and would never harm them for anything. This is why it's difficult to tell what is going on in her head. It's even worse now that she ha
"His father was good at heart; I have given her a place to stay but she would be watched 24/7," Ragnor said and George nodded. Days went by and Siku never did anything strange. She was just like any other citizen in the city. Days turned to weeks and weeks turned to months. With the help of some human neighbours, Siku made a flower garden which she took care of with so much love. Ragnor, called back his men, who were watching Siku, to let her be. It was like she had truly changed. Months after the war, the city had recovered very well. Life as everyone knew it was back to normal. The alliance between the human government and the vampires was also going very well as more humans on death row due to diseases were brought to the city and returned healed. Ragnor went to San Francisco to see Clara. He wanted to bring her to the city only when he was sure Siku had no evil plans up her sleeves and it appears Siku didn't. He had also managed to put the palace into shape. He couldn't bear
