Chapter 4
Beatrice sat on the chair, her eyes flickering to the fireplace.Her red eyes were pale as she blinked them severally."You're getting hotter Beatrice," Mel mumbled, placing the wet towel that was wrapped with ice on her forehead.Beatrice shivered, sighing and biting her tongue as Mel continued."I don't know why you're like this, but you better say something." Mel hissed."I feel hot.""You've been saying that for hours now dear sister, and believe me when I say I am tired.""I feel hot Mel, I'm supposed to be as Cold as ice, remember?"Mel shook her head, as she watched the older man walk into the room."Grandpa Pablo, Beatrice's temperature is getting worst," Mel said, taking a seat as she turned on the cooler.The cooler was something used by the Black Market to punish slaves that went out of the way to disobey their Mistresses and Masters."This is bad.""You shouldn't be complaining, even the humans in the black market get used to this kind of thing." Mel huffed."Is it Jealousy I smell dear sister, it is not my fault that you are an ordinary vampire, not a cold-blooded one," Beatrice mumbled."How petty." Mel countered."Girls, I'll have to go get some leaves, stay put, and don't leave the Mansion."Leaving the small house for the two girls, Pablo headed for the village.Having picked the small house that resided in the woods was far better than living in the village where wolves flocked around.Beatrice was a good kid but having lived with her for years ever since she was born, he had learned something. She was quick to anger and when she got angry, it was hard to calm her down.He headed for the small shop when he got to the village.Light red eyes and blue stared at him but he ignored them, going to the shop.Unlike the vampire, the wolves had light red eyes while the vampire's eyes were deep red."Good day Madame." He greeted, and the woman nodded."I need a pill for cooling down the system.""A vampire? the pills here are mainly for wolves except this vampire was bitten.""No." Came Pablo's words in a curt manner."Okay then, I don't have what you want."Giving the woman another look, he walked out of the shop to find the small village deserted.Not even a single soul was in sight.**Hours passed but Beatrice's condition worsened.Mel stood by the window, sighing as she turned the tall pawpaw tree, making way for air to get in.Her eyes widened at the sudden moment, she saw in the woods close to the have.She pushed the trees apart, and it did again.A wave of air slammed through the window, closing it quickly as it hit.She staggered back a little and ran to Beatrice in a flash."I smell something different." Beatrice sniffed the air."Hmm, what do you smell?" Mel asked, staring at the door."Vampires? Wolves? And Witches." She said, and the door burst open.Mel grabbed the knife that stuck the apple on the table and went for the intruder, grabbing him by the neck and tossing him to the other window."I think it's time you get your ass up Milady, I don't think this maiden is powerful to hold this person." She voiced out, only to turn in a swift, catching an arrow that was shot from the other opened windows.Unlike the witches and other creatures, the vampire could run at high speed and flexibility.The vampires, especially the cold-blooded ones were the most respected creature of the land...followed by the Wolves with a high range of power."I......cn't," Beatrice stressed, trying to get up."Then we are going to die here sister dear." Mel sighed."Watch out!" Mel yelled as she ran forward to catch the arrow that was moving at a high speed toward Beatrice.Beatrice frowned, catching the arrow as if catching a candy that was thrown at her.She broke the arrow into two and turned to her sister."I am weak in standing sister dear, not catching things." She shook her head."If only Milady was okay, we would long be off," Mel said jokingly."Yes my handmaiden, if only I was okay..we would already be on our way out of here, but how cruel is my illness for wanting us two dead." Beatrice continued the show, not minding that they were at the point of death.An ominous sound was heard, as a small smoke make its way into the room, the two sisters watched the smoke disperse into the room."I'm feeling dizzy Milady.""Then sleep dear sister, for your Lady here has already gone to sleep." Muttered Beatrice as her eyes closed up to the darkness that befalls the house."What do we do with them? They look pretty." A man asked as they walked into the house.The other sniffed."Hmm, Vampires." He muttered."Well well well, what do we have here? A Cold-blooded vampire and a normal vampire. My lucky day." A man walked into the room.His eyes were on the two women that had been knocked out by the witch smoke."How did you knock a cold-blooded vampire out?""I think she is weak at the moment, she could not fight, talk about standing. But she's powerful, I can smell her from afar." The Vampire amongst them said."There's no need to banter on things like this, bundle them up, we will sell them off to the Black Market, I'm sure they'll be delighted to have a cold-blooded vampire in their midst." The leader said, smiling as he walked out of the room."Ahhh!" The other man yelled, causing attention."What is it, Mahal?" The Vampire asked."The girl, she woke up just now before sleeping again.""Quick bundle her, less the power of the smoke die out and she kills us all!"TBCChapter 5Hours passed and the carriage had come to a halt.Beatrice coughed.She had been awake for the past two hours but she could not move her legs due to the pain she'd experienced.Crawling close to her sister, she touched her cheek and caressed her face."Dear sister, wake up now, or else this sister of yours will leave you here." She mumbled, close to her ears and Mel frowned as if upset in her dream.Taking her small finger into her mouth, Mel nipped on the flesh, her fangs sinking into Beatrice's small finger.Beatrice's eyes widened and she tried to pull away but her sister had taken her hand into her mouth and in-between her fangs."Grilled meat." She chewed on the finger, not so hard and not so gentle too."Aye sister dear, this is Beatrice, not some grilled meat." Beatrice went down to bit her sister on the hand too."Ahhh." Mel cried out, standing up in a swift move that her head came in contact with Beatrice's nose."Ahhh." Beatrice shook her head."Why did you do that
Beatrice and Mel walked back home after the had gone to the village to find it deserted. It was strange to find the village that was once filled with wolves and few humans deserted, but then again, nothing was said to be strange in their world."Grandpa Pablo!" Mel yelled, as she ran swiftly to the old man that was gathering firewoods.They old man turned to see his two daughter's running in to his arms."Where have you two been, you've made this Grandpa of yours very sad." They man mumbled, as a tear left his eyes.Beatrice sighed and cleaned his tears."Sorry Grandpa, some men came and captured us and took us out of the village to the heart of Viscoria." Mel said, and hissed."Hmm, tell me more." He smiled, as talkative Melissa continued with her babbling. ******The long table that rested on the ground of the cold meeting room, was brownish in colour as it grey colour at the foot of the legs seemed to darken as time went by.The Lord of Viscoria, sat at the front of the table as
The dark mansion stood tall at the center of Viscoria known as the heart of Viscoria.The mansion looked dark and grey in colour and a huge Olive tree stood at the middle of the Mansion."Zane." Lord Wolfarine called, as his amber-golden eyes flickered up and down."Milord?""You had something to say, no?" The Lord asked, as he watched the clock ticked slowly."Hmm, Lady Herbert is here to see you and besides, the elders of the Town demanded a meeting." Zane said and the Lord chuckled."How jobless have you become Zane, seeing as you've neglected the important things you're suppose to do and chasing some skirt. Tell me, have you become attached to Yuan?"The Lord asked, with a smirk on his lips."Lady Yuan is like a sister to me Milord." Zane said sarcastically, as he rolled his eyes and took a seat."Hmm, sister is it?" The Lord, laughed."Stop talking rubbish Wolfarine, you and I both know that Yuan is out of my reach." "No wonder you call her a sister." The Lord nodded."You have b
Chapter 8The journey to the town of Viscoria was slow, unlike their previous journeys, as the carriage rode slowly due to the items they had loaded on the carriage.Beatrice stepped down from the carriage and sighed, stretching her hands."The journey was indeed slow sister," Mel said, sighing."Hmm.A mansion." Beatrice said, turning to the older man."This belonged to your father Mr. Pendragon." The man said, staring at the huge Mansion."Papa never said a thing about living in Victoria." Beatrice frowned."Enough talking, and more packing." The older man hushed, as she furrowed her brows and the frown deepened."You're trying to avoid the talk now Grandpa Pablo." Beatrice huffed, for her sister to sigh again."I'm so tired." Mel sighed again, as she picked up the little items she had dropped in the carriage."This is not fair, I don't get to pack the huge items and unpack them again!""Life is never fair dear sister." Mel yawned.Three maids ran out of the mansion to help with the
Chapter 9"Hmm, it is a pleasure to meet you Lady Beatrice." Lady Yuan said."It is my pleasure Milady." Beatrice smiled."Your fangs are sharp.""I told her so." Lady Herbert said, walking out of the room she had just gone into."Don't flatter me Milady, it is not as sharp as yours.""Lies, it is almost the same...with Wolfarine." Lady Yuan said, and gave her a smile."Pardon me, I'm used to call him that." "Why not Lady Yuan, there is no need to give me an excuse, every one knows he's like a brother to you." Beatrice said, not knowing why the lady were being so nice to her.Was it normal? or was it how they were?But they tales she had heard when she was little was that this particular creatures were evil and cruel.Or was it a way to lure her and stake her?"Don't tense Beatrice, we're not going to hurt you, not that we can anyway. You're a Cold-blooded Vampire and a powerful one at that." Yuan said and Beatrice nodded, reluctantly.Beatrice was not going to lose guard with this pe
"Milord!" Beatrice gasped, bowing her head to the man that stood behind them."Good day Milord." Mel bowed too, and Beatrice bit her lips."Hmm, how are you two enjoying the banquet?" The Lord of Victoria asked with a smile."We just got here Milord, the banquet is sure going to be great," Mel answered as Beatrice kept quiet.She was still wondering whether or not the Lord of Viscoria had heard her talk about him in such a way.He was a good man and he would do nothing to her. She assured herself."What about you Lady Beatrice?" She felt her soul leave her body.Raising her head, Beatrice smiled at the Lord and looked away."The banquet will be great Milord." She said and the Lord nodded."Lady Beatrice." "Lady Herbert," Beatrice called to have the woman nod."Milord." Lady Herbert gave a slight bow and the man nodded to her as well."It seems you've met the Lord already." Lady Yuan said and yawned."Not getting enough sleep lately?" The Lord asked Yuan to nod her head."Get some res
Chapter 11Beatrice stood by the stairs, her eyes boring down on the people that had women and men in their arms as they danced."Aren't you feeling dizzy Milady?" She heard a voice ask.Turning behind her, she smiled at the man that had a huge smile on his face."Why is a beautiful lady, all alone?" The man asked."Ha, my sister has left me all alone to dance with the men," Beatrice said to have the man laugh."You don't expect your sister to dance with you, do you?" "Ha, it would have been fun if she kept company," Beatrice said to have the man nod."Sisters tend to part ways when the time is right.""Are you saying the time is now Milord?""How would I know Milady, is that your sister wearing the flowery dress at the east wing?" He asked to see Beatrice nod with a smile."She's indeed a beauty," Beatrice said."Not beautiful like you Milady.""Ha, please don't flatter me, Milord, I am not one to compliment," Beatrice said and smiled at the man."I am no Lord, I am just one of the
Chapter 12Beatrice sighed, watching the man walk to her.He looked innocent but she could see through him. These were the kind of people her mother had warned her to avoid.She was not a little girl before her mother's death. Although she had looked so small, she was mature enough to know the things that went through the mansion."Why would a lady such as yourself be all alone, Milady?" The man that had come to the upper stairs where she has taken for a rest asked.Beatrice didn't want to refuse a man a dance thereby bringing Shame to him, but she didn't like them crawling to her feet.She didn't know that courting toasting a woman would be this bothersome on the part of the woman.She sighed, rubbing her head as she muttered some words."I am fine Milord, I am just tired." She said, praying he would let her be.She didn't have the time to talk with anyone, and how she wished to bang Mel's head on a wheel."Oh, and here I was thinking about asking your hand for a dance. Bad timing
