Inside a remote forest."She's of age now." Announced a woman.The women were inside a large room crammed with portions and weapons. The room was gray with a big pot on the crest of a burning fire. The pot was filled with fluid."I heard Sasha wants her," Another woman asserted.There were seven women inside the compartment, they all had similar traits and appearances."Third sister expects us to wait, the girl might be of age, but she's at a crucial phase right now." A woman near the first woman said.The seven of them were known as the Seven Sisters of Estein.Nobody knows their real names, they always operate in the dark."Sasha won't be able to, if she was wise she would have allowed the Ginnak to settle down a little." The first sister, Ammie said.The seven sisters were known for their different specialties."We need the Ginnak in its final stage, we've waited a long time for this." Mia, the sixth sister said."Natasha," Silvia, the second sister, called. "Don't tell me you're f
Mildred felt the strange aura inside Alexandra's room when she gave her the soup, she felt something unusual about her. And her presumption was elucidated when her fingertips brushed her palm.She saw something. The Ginnak has awakened. But what frightened her was the circle around Alexandra. That was by far the worst circle any Ginnak should possess, it's a deranged circle.She didn't know who to tell, Dominus had left before she could see him properly.The presence of the deranged Ginnak would never bring anything good. But that would be determined by the signals appearing tomorrow.The King had instructed them unexpectedly to arrange for an event, a wedding which happens to be tomorrow. She finds the date and time weird.Who holds a wedding at midnight?She was here to assist Robert, and thankfully it made her close to the Ginnak.For the past two days, she hadn't seen Forsyth, she was thankful. She had no idea why he wanted her dead. She barely knew him."Mildred…" Someone called.
A pair of red-golden eyes scanned the area with a tired gaze. It was almost midnight and yet he noticed the Mansion was lively as lights twinkled making it seem like daylight.He was staring at the Magnus's Mansion as the wedding celebration was going on.With his shady clothes and scary eyes he entered the mansion. Nobody seemed to have noticed him as he walked through the crowd.Something had led him here, a pull. And he felt it, the presence of the Ginnak seemed multitude at the Mansion."Are you lost, Mister?" He heard a lady say behind him before turning around to look at her. She was adored in a maids outfit."Do you wanna get lost, girl?" He asked back with a piercing gaze. The girl's blood ran cold as she ran off. He had successfully scared her off.His eyes scanned the crowd in search for a person, he didn't really know who the person was but he would know when he sees the person.He had no idea why he wanted the Ginnak dead, but every time he think of letting the Ginnak be h
Groans were heard as a man tossed restless on a mattress. His eyes opened abruptly only to jerk back when he noticed someone on the bed."Graciela?" The man asked with a sleepy tone. He couldn't tell if he was seeing things or something."Hello, Lambert." The female said as she smiled."Wait… do I know you?" The man asked. His red-golden eyes scanned the face of the female. It was dark and yet, he could see the female clearly.If anyone else was here, they would have recognized the female as Gretel."After the blue signal, yes. You've regained some of your memories." She replied."Wait… M-mother ?" He asked with a startled voice. "This is not possible.""The earlier you think it is, the better for you." She slide off the bed. "Get up," she said to Dominus, "We have a Ginnak to hunt." She said with a calculative glint in her eyes.His mother died after giving him her gift. She died. Died. Or was the death a faked death?"Did you fake your death?" He asked. His tone was cold as usual."

"I wouldn't say I faked it, that makes me look bad.""Where have you been then?
"I now declare you both, Husband and-." The priest was interrupted by the fog rising slowly. The uproars and claps in the air slowly came to a halt.The trio heard the relief sigh that left Oliver's lip and the "Finally," he said as his hand entered his pants before pulling out a dagger.It happened so fast that before people could comprehend what was happening, the dagger was stabbed deep into Alexandra's heart. Her eyes broadened with shock and surprise, and pain."No…" Mildred's words came out as a low whisper. Everything began to move in slow motion.Michael was first to react as he ran with an inhuman speed and clenched his fingers around Oliver's neck. Choking him.Mildred ran to Alexandra as people screamed and pushed to flee the Mansion. Those people weren't able to vacate as creatures suddenly surrounded the Mansion. Their fierce eyes glinted with rage, and they slaughtered every one of those innocent people."Leave her, Mildred," Forsyth said as he held Mildred's left hand p
"Alexandra Bernard," Her eyes met the priest's as he called her name. She wasn't sure she heard a word of what he had been declaring earlier. The priest stretched his hand forward and she promptly placed her hand on his. "On this blessed occasion, I would be joining her hands together with this man beside her, Oliver Cole. The…"………Alexandra didn't hear another word as she was Dominus from the corner of her eyes, moving. The moon had almost become completely round, but what caught her attention was the change in it. Was the moon turning red?Away from Alexandra, were Mildred, Michael, and Forsyth who became alarmed. Their shoulders became tense, Mildred's the most.The moon became redder making people alarmed as they stared at the cloud which had turned red due to the moon. But the ceremony didn't stop.Alexandra was feeling different types of sensations inside her. A howl was heard as a scramble movement, unexpectedly, coming from different directions."I now declare you both, Hus
It happened so fast that before people could comprehend what was happening, the dagger was stabbed deep into Alexandra's heart.

Their fierce eyes glinted with rage, and they slaughtered every one of those innocent people."Leave her, Mildred," Forsyth said as he held Mildred's left hand pulling her to leave Alexandra. Those creatures won't harm Alexandra if she wasn't dead yet, but he couldn't say anything about Mildred. Noticing Mildred was hesitant about leaving Alexandra behind, he yanked her off the ground to his shoulder before leaving the scene.Michael still had hi
90He looked up from downstairs and wondered if Anne was asleep. He climbed it slowly with hesitation, he didn't want her to feel uncomfortable.The stairs appeared longer than usual. His heart, something didn't believe existed, began to race. He was nervous for no reason.As he reached the edge of the stairs, Anne's room entered his view before his room which after before her room. He strides to her door and knocks on it slightly.On the first knock the door opened. He couldn't believe she was actually waiting for him to come to her room.He slipped into the room, the lit candles were glowing. He glanced at the wall clock and it was a few minutes past nine."I thought you were asleep," Dominus said as he strolled to her, "How's your wound?" He noticed she hauled her arms freely.A beaming smile appeared on her face. "It healed. The pain was severe at first, but after the plant you dipped, the pain began lessening. And now, there's no pain."Dominus wasn't believing this. He moved clos
"I– I don't know what you're talking about,""I can't imagine I'm getting fortuitous by the second." He remarked and snickered.Before Marleen realized it, he grabbed her by the neck and she instantly fell into unconsciousness._________"Mar–leen?" Ava's worried voice exclaimed for Marleen when she saw him on the doppelganger's shoulder."Relax, bestie, she's fine," Dominic said as he lowered Marleen close to a shackled Ava."Why is she here?" She asked. Marleen was still unconscious."How many people know about the Ancients?""Many. Although they don't believe in it since they haven't seen one before. Why?""Just attempting the know the numbers I'm roughly to kill,""Don't! They're innocent, they know nothing.""This girl here didn't seem like that to me. She's different, do you know that?" He asked as he waddled past Ava.He picked a chain and bound Marleen's hands with it. After that, he strides toward a chair and sits on it."I can't believe father let different species run the e
Her mother shuddered a little, her lips were shaking. "I…I did what I was told to, I made sure to wipe everything. I don't know how she remembered.""That only signified you weren't doing your job. Rather than concentrating on the child, you were busy whoring around." His voice wielded irritation, he then stepped slowly towards her mother.Before she knew it, the man grabbed her mother by the neck and mashed her unto a tree. Little Ava saw blood crawling down her mother's neck."W–what are you doing to mother?" Ava questioned the man, who was her supposed grandpa.Alexandra didn't know what was transpiring. She had been in Robert's room, aiding him.Subsequently, she departed his cabin the following day to get water, she spotted Dominic, he was formally clothed. So also Thomas.She ambled toward them and scrutinized them, then she noted they have luggage with them.Were they traveling?"Are you guys going somewhere?" She implored. Her orifices were drifting between the two.Dominic di
Dracule glared at him, "You think I haven't thought of that with your mother? I went insane when she died, it killed me inside. It didn't matter if she was with another man, I just wanted her alive and well.""I won't allow myself to see her with another man, I don't care if she's happy with him, I'd much rather kill her myself. I'm selfish, and I'm not hiding it."As they both stared into the warm night with silence, Dominus wondered what he would do to keep Anne by his side. Nobody owns the power to do that, but his mother was able to preserve souls.Would that work?His mother's book was with him, a very important book. He needed to check if it held any spell to stop a dying person from death.He excused himself from Dracule's house and went to an underground cave. Nobody knows of this, making it the best place to hide the book.He took the book out and glanced at the name on the book cover.'Formation of the Ginnak.'Alexandra felt on edge as she stood in front of the Priest with
"She isn't who you're looking for, she's unknown." He paused for a moment, "She's powerful but that's unknown to her, her nativity and innocence will lead us to our greatest desire." He took a sip from his cup and his eyes switched from brown to dark shades of red." What about Karina?""After we reach our goal she's of no use anymore, there's no use in keeping her with us.""His disappearance was untraceable. It seemed he was helping a larger system," Simon announced. He strode nearer to Dominic and resumed, "All the souls he gathered for Mrs. Hamish were duplicates, unknown to her." He paused his speech, "Hunting him might guide us to our goal, don't you think?"Dominic waited. He thought for an instant, "I think it's time to stop by an old friend." He said, and Simon turned his head. It was dark, so Dominic took a cloak and stepped out of the room.___"The officials aren't performing their duties? What's the use of keeping them?!" An irritated voice yelled. The shivering young man
"Michael? I've heard that name multiple times, probably from sweet Gretel." Robert said with a cocky smile. His wrinkled face made him look scary.Micheal's face darkened while Forsyth chuckled. "I like you already," Forsyth proclaimed hearing the connotation in his sentence."But I don't," Robert told Forsyth."Touché."They turned as they heard running footsteps, Mildred seemed to be running towards them."What's it? Where's Alexandra?" Forsyth asked."She-""Ladies and gentlemen," A man said, interrupting Mildred's words, his voice was loud, "It's time for the main event to begin." Everybody began moving with glasses of wine between their fingers.From the corner of their eyes, they saw Alexandra running while the man, Dominus, was walking slowly behind her as if toying with her.His prey.Grunts were heard as a man tossed restlessly on a mattress. His eyes opened abruptly only to jerk back when he noticed someone on the bed."Graciela?" The man asked with a sleepy tone. He couldn'
Reddish-gold eyes tilted his head and glanced at Dominus. "I wasn't asking for a fucking permission."Dominus sighed. "You and your foul mouth.""But the ladies love it." He grinned."You've only ever seen one lady until now." Dominus taunted. But the reddish-gold eyes only shrugged."That's why she's mine to kill.""You can't kill her,""Oh, I created her. So yes I can.""Why?"Silence filled the space between them."Don't you think it's time for you to go?""No. I'm doing what you told me to. To protect the Ginnak.""You wouldn't want to defy me, Green eyes.""I'm sorry." Dominus bowed his head at him and disappeared.Reddish-gold eyes Dominus fisted his fingers as annoyance lingered in his eyes.He needs to get the Ginnak before his mother gets her. Having to fight his clone and mother sounded exhausting and he was the lazy type.But her minors were everywhere in the Mansion. He was suddenly grateful she was injured. It would be a lot harder if she was fine.Now he needs to use the
"N-Nothing-g..." Her voice trembles from fear. The girl before her was all blue, icy blue like how Leah's face had been, but the difference was that Leah was unconscious while the girl before her wasn't."Alexandra..." Her name came out as a soft echo from her mouth, it wasn't supposed to sound scary but it did."Y-you know me?" Alexandra pointed at herself with her slightly trembling forefinger, partly from the cold."Who wouldn't?" The hostility in her voice made Alexandra gulp."But I don't know you...""Of course, you wouldn't," The girl cuts her off, "People like us are peasants compared to you." The girl said and slowly moved towards her, to which Alexandra responded by moving backward, slowly."You are the reason many of us have to suffer!" Alexandra knew the girl was becoming angrier since the cold in the room began intensifying. Before she realized it, the girl forced her hand towards her, and her heart ceased beating for a second."Stop Right There,"5"---h it does look like
She dabbed her hands dry and ambled to the basement. It was slightly dark but manageable. As she picked up the pans and spun to depart, an agony moan halted her. It was coming from the side of the basement. She strolled nearer to the noise and came upon Alexandra. She lay on the ground folded. Her hand was tight around her head, she appeared to be in distress."Alexandra," She carefully hoisted her, "What's wrong?" She didn't need to know what was wrong because her eyes said it all. But the red glint in her eyes changed back to normal. Her pained expression changed like she was never in pain."I'm fine," Lexi said and rubbed her body. "Excuse me." She was behaving skeptically. But Mildred shrugged it off. She already knew what was wrong. She just hope things remained how there were after tomorrow.___________At the Temple of priests.Dominus closed his eyes as he rested his back on the side of a tree. The leaves were moving in different trends. Despite his calm expression, he was con
