Her Soul and His Blood

Chapter 23: 23 the past

His laugh echoed through the entire room.He didn't sound cruel,but then again,worst kind of cruelty

come in the guise of kindness.

Mr.Peterson is the leader of the gang. Maybe it was his instinct for cruelty that made the others respect

him...or fear him. They knew that if they didn't do what was expected they'd end up dead or worst than

that. Mr.Peterson ruled with an iron fist, whatever he said went. And there was no leaving the vampire

gang, the gang was for life - however short that turned out to be. That's the kind of leader he was, no

morals, no conscience, no compassion. He was the king of all he surveyed and none dared question

his orders.

"Zella, Do you think that I will allow you to go and save your brother and take that nevklace with you."

He said in a deep and sharp voice.

"What do you mean Mr.Peterson?"she asked in a brittle voice.

"What do I mean, you wanted to know."he said with a scornful voice. "This is all my plan, this is my

kingdom,and I rule this kingdom." His grating sound started ringing in her ears.

"Zella,I will tell you a story.A story which happened 200 years ago." He sat on a chair keeping his leg

upon the other,straightening his posture and chin up,with a smoking pipe on his right hand.Zella stared

at him like a lost puppy staring at the stranger.He started his story.

######

It was a time when vampires ruled the world. During that period vampires was not hiding around and

feeding secretly.It was not the time when people thought vampire was a mythical creature because

every night humans were scared to live due to vampire attacks.They saw our powers and our

thirst,feeding on their loved ones and leaving their lifeless body.

We enjoyed the fear on their face and it was our greatest strength.All of us,all the vampires were ruled

by the king,Lord Augustin Elseveir, he was the most cruelest vampire known or I made him to be

known that way.

I was his loyal friend,Mr.Peterson,I was like his right hand.I used his name to do most cruelest of

cruelest things.He made a rule that we should only feed on the humans who do the most evil crime and

not any innocent souls. But it was beyond my thoughts,how can someone go in search of a person who

do crimes and who is innocent.It is foolishness but I kept quiet and acted loyal.

I and my serfs fed on whomever we wanted behind the curtain.The Lord trusted me and believed me

and I made use of it.

I was attacking a village,I was feeding on a pregnant lady that night and my serfs on the other

villagers.That lady begged me for her life.

"Please, Im pregnant,please leave me." She pleaded closing her hand in hand.

I smirked and approached near her.I rubbed my face on her beautiful neck,I licked on the soft plummy

neck of her.she barely moved, she breathed low,I can feel her.I planted a kiss on her neck and softly

moved my face up and down.She had a different feeling now, from fear to lust. She stopped struggling

in my hand and hugged me and ran her hands over my back.She is a fool who didn't realize my trick.I

pierced her neck with my beautiful sharp fangs and abstracted her blood like drinking juice using a

straw.The blood tasted like wine may be because of the fetus i guess.

My dish was interrupted by a huge bang on the outside of that house.I looked out through the window,

throwing the woman to the corner.I saw Lord Augustin throwing my serfs into the air, smashing them

down.

His curls were midnight black and his eyes were dark brown,framed by graceful brows.His skin was

ashen white like all other vampires but was different from others.It was shining in the moonlight,he had

a prominent cheekbones and well defined chin and nose and sharp canine fangs. Muscles ripped

across every part of his body like a seasoned warrior.His face was red and lips pressing firmly

together,veins pulsing in neck.

He was holding my most obedient serf on the fist of his hand,hanging him in the air.My face became

red and I clenched my jaw and my fist.I was in a situation,that I can't go out and fight against the most

powerful vampire king.

I stood silently inside the house,I heard a weeping sound from the corner of that room. It was that

women who was weeping,I closed her mouth and cut her throat with a knife.I saw Lord Augustin

breaking the head of my serf whom he was hanging in air.The loss ached in my heart.He was moving

towards the other one,before he could kill them all I acted wisely.I rushed towards him.

"My Lord,you are here too.I will handle them all myself My Lord.I came here to rescue the

villagers,these servants of yours have done a lot of damage my Lord." I muttered in a low voice

bending my head showing loyalty.

"They aint my servants,they earn no mercy.I-am going to kill them all."He said in a sharp voice running

towards a strong huge serf of mine with lightning speed such that I am not able to trace him and

striking him to the ground. I went behind him before he could kill the other vampire.

"My Lord, I think we should banish them instead of killing them." I said hurrying my words.I could see

that fire on his eyes,it was really scary but someday I will pour water on that fire.He listened to me and

left the man to the ground. He will definitely do that because Im his beloved and trustful friend.

"Tie them all and bring them to my castle."He ordered me and other loyals who came with him.He went

inside to check for any survivors in that villages.There he saw her, her eyes, like the indigo ocean, were

pools of iridescent blue, sculpted upon her creamy face like dazzling jewels. Strands of molten gold

tumbled out of her scalp, cascading down her back like a waterfall. Strawberry lips, crystal white teeth:

she truly was a beautiful sight to behold.

Lord Augustin fall in love with her in his first sight.But she was in a point of death,she cannot be saved

unless she is transformed into one of us. Lord Augustin bent towards her who was laying on the

ground.He gave a sweet-bite on her neck, she had a vibration, opened her eyes for a second but not

lasted long.Lord Augustin never failed in transferring but this was not sure of.

We all stared at that young lady who lost her life. One of the loyal asked him to leave but he refused.

He was staring at her like a kid staring at the star.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
