"You will help me find it." His tone was firm. He wasn't asking but ordering. But Sean, his brother, didn't want to take part in the search for the four books of Goratar."I'm not taking part, that shit is just as dangerous as fighting with Dominus," Sean complained. He had less time here, his father would begin rummaging for him anytime soon."Finding the exact location of something is one of your specialties, and I need it before Dominus gets his hand on it.""Why don't you ask your dragon friend, I bet he knows the location already," Sean responded."Simon seems to also be searching for it, I think you should use this as an opportunity by getting back at him for breaking your heart." Forsyth used the one card he knew was always effective. Simon.Scowling at Forsyth, Sean responded, "That bastard can never break my heart, freak,""Then we have an understanding." Forsyth thumbed himself internally. He stepped away from Sean and went down the stairs of his Mansion, but suddenly everyw
"I can see you've made yourself comfortable, Mildred," Mildred turned to the familiar voice. She flushed a little as she caught him examining her."Yeah, I did. Thanks to you." She replied politely. Her voice was low."That's good," Simon replied. It didn't go unnoticed by Mildred that he was checking her room, as if he was searching for someone."Is…there a problem?" She asked. How serious he suddenly became alarmed her."Have you…made contact with Forsyth since you arrived?" His question was weird. Why would she keep in contact with that madman?"No." She replied plainly.Simon sighed in relief.Ok, what was happening??"Did something bad happen?" She already knew the answer to her question, but she asked anyway."Forsyth is on the loose, he…isn't himself right now, so don't try to talk to him. Just stay far away, and if he comes near you, run.""What do you mean?""His sanity has snapped, Mildred. Right now he's no longer the Forsyth we know. And there's no way he's eliminating you
Dominic gazed angrily at Forsyth, from the outside Forsyth was massive and fiercer, only a few knew otherwise.In a low aggravated tone, Dominic spoke. "You came into MY mansion, and you're creating a scene?"Forsyth just cackled, darkly. "I had no idea you were the adopted son of the Magnus family." He scoffed.Dominic's eyes moved from Forsyth to the unconscious girl on the ground.If he hadn't arrived on time, all his efforts would have been in vain. Simon had been fast to tell him about Forsyth's insanity.He needed the girl alive, not just for his mission but for Forsyth's sake."He's controlling you," Dominic stated. He couldn't break the bond holding Forsyth, no one can except Marleen, and now Mildred."Do you know she killed me? Nah, you wouldn't, little things like that don't get your attention." Forsyth taunted."You know she was up to something all along, you just choose to ignore and make her happy. She wanted your blood, and you gave it to her happily." Dominic said in a r
"The Ginnak book of spells was never invented as a spell book, it was a warning book." Robert halted and peered at her, this gave her goosebumps. He didn't even tell her to wait a day to learn about the Ginnak.He then proceeded, "A warning book to tell the people about the misfortunes of being around a Ginnak. Ginnaks back then lived among humans.""Why would humans live among them when they know it's bad?" Alexandra raised a question. She saw no reason a person would want to stay close to a dangerous person or creature."At that time, the Ginnaks weren't deranged, the texts were just for safety measures. But as soon as the Ginnak's eyes fell on the book, their sanity snapped.""How? Why?" She was abruptly perplexed. Surely, the book wasn't that powerful."You see, this book holds powers, destructive powers. In the humans' eyes, the words written on the book were mere phrases to scare them off the Ginnak, but to the Ginnaks, It was inscribed differently."Comprehending something, she
The chirping of birds and the radiance of the morning sun made the sleeping woman grunt slightly."Sara, close the window." She announced loudly and proceeded with her sleep. After some time she heard no reply from Sara or footsteps. Infuriated slightly, she called out again."Sara…can you close the window, the sun is blazing."After a few seconds, she angrily opened her eyes. As she scanned around she then remembered one thing,This wasn't the palace.Gradually her memories began to flow. She glanced at the side of the room and met eye-to-eye with an amused man. He had a smile in his eyes and a chuckle on his lips."You've finally awakened." His eyes were still smiling.What was so funny??She shrugged as she had no idea what was so amusing until she turned her head and saw her reflection."Argh!!" She shrieked out in terror and the man released his laughter.Her dress was changed to a different one, and this dress made her look like a doll. Then her hair looked more like a bird's nes
"QUEEN AMIRIA!" Her name was being cried out by numerous people. She recognized the voices, they were the voices of her guards and handmaid. She also heard a few that she couldn't recognize, so she took them as the voices of the other guards.She glanced at Vamurus who was under her. In an attempt to save her, he used his back as a shield against the hard ground.She noticed that his upper arm was bruised as he stood up, and the edges of tiny woods had pierced into his back."Are you alright?" He asked softly. That should be her question. She thought. She trudged closer to him and observed his injuries."Will you follow me home? I know how to tend to such wounds." Amiria mumbled. She knows of a way to make it heal faster than an average physician."There's no need for that, Miss Amiria, I can tend to it myself."Amiria didn't bother to correct him. He didn't even know her name at first, he didn't even seem to be from around here."Ok, bye." Amiria flapped at hand at him a little before
Inside the Palace."Who's he?" Amiria was appalled at his query."What do you mean?" She inquired."The male, who's he?" The King interrogated again.Guessing he was speaking about the man who saved her, she responded with a smile."I don't think he's from here. His dress and everything seemed different. And–" she was cut off."Are you that desperate?" His utterance stung her heart."What do you mean?" She dreaded what he meant."Are you that desperate that you ran into the arms of a stranger and allow him to have his way with you,""I won't have you insult my dignity.""Is this what I get after all the love I've rained on you?" His tone indicated he was hurt."Why aren't you believing me?""Because Salia saw the two of you." He hesitated for a second and implored. "Was he outfitted in a long odd white coat with a golden-brown shoe, and was his hair a lengthy white hair?""Yes, I-""Were you on top of him earlier today behind a tree, his back was on the ground.""He was saving me from
"Queen Amiria did have a lover," Alexandra believed."That was before she tied the knot with the King. Her intention of coming to that kingdom was to find the sacred stone." Robert heightened her."Why did she need the stone?""To bring her lover back from the dead."Lexi huffed. "That's impossible!"Robert cocked his brow, "Was it?""You know very well it is impossible." She asserted."We'll stop here for now." Robert was implying to the yore of the Ginnak."Why? I'm not feeling sleepy or anything.""I know, but you need to lie.""But my eyes are clear, There's not an ounce of sleep in me right now.""Really?" He implored with a cocked brow.Alexandra was about to nod when a yawn escaped her lips. "Oops, I think I am." She stood up from her chair after saying good night to Robert and headed for the door. And departed it.In the hallway, she recalled she forgot to ask something. So she turned back to the cabin.She knocks before opening the door."Robert, I forgot to ask if-" That was
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
