Chapter 5
Hours 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, your fangs are sharper than a two-edged sword." Mel cried."Turns out my sister was not asleep after all, my bad." Beatrice gave a sweet smile after sitting up."Where are we? And who the heck were those people?" Mel asked, scratching her hair."Vampires, witches, rouged wolves, and humans." Beatrice sniffed and smiled again."Wait, I've never heard vampires, witches, rouged wolves talk more of humans working together. How interesting." Mel shook her head and sighed."Someone's coming," Beatrice whispered.The footsteps of huge feet seem to be walking toward the carriage.Alas, the door opened, showing a huge macho Man with a fiery look on his face."What do we have here? A Cold-blooded Vampire and a normal one. How much will you give them to me Sadiah?" He asked the other man that had walked to the carriage."Fifty pieces of silver.""Done, transfer them to the prison." The Macho Man said.Beatrice's eyes snapped open, and she hissed.The pain was there but was not much like before and looking at the men in front of her, she was sure she could take them on."Excuse me Mr, it is not right to knock a girl out and drop her in a prison," Beatrice said, holding the wood so she would stand.The two men turned to watch the girl that was fast asleep a few minutes ago, and their jaws dropped."Hmm." The man hummed, taking a step back.A cold-blooded vampire was said to be the deadliest creature of the night."Sister dear, if you don't wake up now I'm not sure I'll be able to take them on." Beatrice chuckled the words out.Mel stood up as well, her dress sweeping the dirty carriage they had dumped them in."How rude to place Ladies of the Elites in a dirty carriage," Beatrice mumbled, cleaning her dress with her dirty hands hereby making the dress get dirtier."You mean fallen Elites." Mel countered.Before the men in front of them could blink their eyes, they were thrown off the ground with their eyes wide open.Beatrice clapped her hands, as she turned to her sister that had her jaw dropped."You were ill.""I am healed." Beatrice gave her a warm smile, as she helped her down the carriage."Aye men of influence, please just let these maidens leave and we will see to it that no joint is out of your body," Beatrice said.The men that were ready to fight, dropped their defense as they made way for the women to pass.Having lived in lands where death was something called a tradition and custom, no one was ready to die for a little cause.Thirty minutes passed, and the ladies were on the road.Their exquisite dress that screamed of wealth were dirty with mud and sand.Quite soon enough, a carriage could be seen riding on the very road they stood.The carriage stopped and a woman's head popped out of the carriage."Milady, could you help this maiden of yours take a ride in your carriage?" Beatrice asked, and the woman smiled."I almost thought that you were runaway slaves but you're a cold-blooded vampire." The woman said, and Beatrice nodded, along with Mel.Getting into the carriage, Beatrice blinked at the woman that seems familiar."Pardon me Milady, have we met before?" She asked, and the woman nodded."At the Lady Yuan's tea party. I am Lady Hebert." The woman answered, smiling as her fangs came to view."You have a sharp fang," Beatrice commented."Yours is sharper than mine Lady Beatrice, please don't flatter me.""Aye Milady, it is only the truth I speak, unlike many wolves, I have seen, yours is beautiful and sharp," Beatrice said again and the woman smiled."I am headed for the Lord's Mansion, where are you headed?" Lady Hebert asked, to see the girl's eyes widen."Ha Milady, we will stop at the front before the village market." Beatrice was the first to speak as she glared at her sister to keep quiet."Tch, so boring." Mel shook her head, as she watched the trees and few people that could be seen on the road."They will be a banquet at the Lord's Mansion Lady Beatrice, you are invited along with Lady Mel." Lady Herbert said, which got the two ladies nodding their heads.The drive came to an end and both Beatrice and Mel came down the carriage and waved."That was quite a ride," Beatrice said with a smile."For a fallen Elite as your self dear sister, how did you enjoy it?" Mel asked, and Beatrice laughed."I smell jealousy.""Ha, it's going to get dark soon. We should go look for Grandpa Pablo."And alas the two ladies walked to the village, laughing and chattering while looking for their old man.TBCBeatrice 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
Chapter 13"It is not as it was Milord, the council has decided and tomorrow it will be announced. They have been several deaths in Bathon and Lord Niklaus would give you more info if necessary.""Tch! Is that how boring the council has been for Fabio? He does seem to be agile to fight." The Lord of Viscoria said."I'll be off now." The messenger said and gave a slight bow.Wolfarine sighed.A lot of paperwork and a lot of deaths were something he was fine with but bringing more rouged vampires into his Land was something he would not tolerate.His wolf scratched and he smelled the air and something vibrated like a shock in his system.He put the envelope into his robe and headed for the door.He walked slowly hearing the light footsteps that were coming from the other side of the door.Raju"Ha, Milord?" She gave a bow and he nodded."What brought you to the hallway Little Beatle?" He asked."Milord?""Hmm." "Mel intentionally spilled tea on my dress, and I am here to clean up," Bea
