22 | Lost Princess“Little White,You came.” Vanilla could swear that everyone in the arena were paused, no screaming, no murmuring, no one was hailing their Alpha and she? Her breath was caught in her throat, unable to look away from his deep eyes or his beautifully daunting face. After last night, she thought she would hate him, she thought she would never want to see him again yet…Vanilla was wrong.Her wide eyes sought his, opening and closing as she could barely make out a word. Before she could blink, he was gone. It happened too fast, almost like a dream, like he was never standing before her, half naked and devilishly handsome.The arena resumed it's loud chatter, increasing from murmurs to loud chatter that shook the large arena. And Darkness, he was back to where had stood earlier, his gaze elsewhere yet she could see his shadows red eye looking at her, shadows weren't meant to have eyes, they weren't meant to be controlled by a human being then how? But Darkness wasn't a
21~~~~ Vanilla had been a fool, a starved fool who was ready to eat whatever was given to her even if it was rotten and infested with maggot. She curled up into the bathtub, hugging her knees to herself. “We are nothing anyways, I am his captive, he has the right to do whatever he wants.” Vanilla thought of Cherry, Her bright, beautiful face, dark hair, dark but soothing eyes, and that comforting embrace. She though of Maddy, the sweet little girl who had lived in a coma all her life. The girl who never had a chance to run around like kids her age all because of her.She thought of Camilla, then Cinderella and the other girls. Vanilla shook her head, it didn't matter if she never experienced warmth from anyone, Darkness didn't matter, that realm didn't matter either, all that matters was that she could save those girls, and save she would, even if it meant being treated like that by Darkness. After cleaning herself up and changing into a new t-shirt, she returned to room, and lai
20~~~~Vanilla had expected her day to be uneventful yet she soon realized she was wrong, like jobless fools, Xavier and Imaya stayed in Vanilla's room all day, bantering like five year old kids who took each other's candy, and then there were the maids who were busy walking in and out, cleaning her room and taking care of the debris Greta and Garret had made the room into.She had no peace and quiet until it was night time and everyone left. Only then did she have the time to mull over the things that had happened through the day. Vanilla did not intended to fight Greta, all she wanted was to stand up for herself . Xavier was the most interesting one, she had never seen a vampire before, and if it weren't for being kept captive hey Darkness, fangirling over Xavier would have been an easier thing to do.Speaking of Xavier reminded her of what he had said. Was she human? Vanilla tried not to dwell on it too much. As she laid on her back, staring at the ceiling, The door pushed open, a
19~~~~ “I can't do that, go back Greta.” Garret growled. Greta tilted her head back, a scoff of disbelief escaping her lips. She was the priestess, everyone held her up in high regards including Darkness, then when did it come to this? Being disobeyed because of a mere human, her fist balled.“You are defending the human!” A growl rumbled out of her chest. “Not just Darkness, even my own cousin defies me for a mere human.” Her eyes glowed, body trembling as her claw extended, ready to tear Garret apart, but she restrained herself and retracted her claws, then she acted like she was about to leave, just when Garret relaxed, Greta turned around, her fist colliding with Garrett's cheek, throwing him off balance with a kick to his limping leg, before he could recover, she landed a swift kick on his crotch, making him topple over in pain.“Stop me again next time and I will show you why I am the acting Luna of this Kingdom.” Then she pulled the
18~~~~ Vanilla covered up her mark with her palm. “I don't know what that is and I don't want to.” She walked over to the shower. “Now if you will excuse me, I have to change.” Despite sounding nonchalant, Vanilla massaged her temple, groaning softly at how much her head ached. “No.” Imaya countered. “No. You can't be.” She shook head continuously. “Wait, if you are the Moon Maiden then, you are… is that why Darkness has you?” This caught Vanilla's attention, her back froze and she turned to Imaya.“Tell me more about this… Moon Maiden you speak of.” “It-” “Imaya dear.” Silifa’s voice sounded from behind the door. Imaya's brow knitted. “Imaya?” “I am coming alright! Stop screaming my name.” Imaya yelled. “We will be having this conversation another time.” Her eyes bore into Vanilla's. “No human can be the Moon Maiden, it's impossible, but if you are, then you are not human.” Her expression hardened. “You are h
17~~~~ A chaotic room, a crying woman, sadness, nothingness and sadness, the sound of feet running behind her, the air smelled metallic like blood, she could hear someone's harsh breath, or was it her own? ‘Bring her back!’ A woman screamed from behind her. ‘She can't be dead! She can't be dead! Bring her back Nila, save her! Save us! Save us!’ Vanilla could see nothing but she knew she was running, crying, and for a reason she couldn't make sense of, her heart was clenched, and her stomach was heavy.‘It’s all because of you!’ the woman bellowed, leaving Vanilla with a shorter breath and a racing heart. “If you had never been born, if you had never had that mark, Camilla would still be here with us!” The shrill voice was now ultimately clear, it was her mother. “Get back here! Why did you survive and my Mila didn't? WHY!!!” Her voice distorted at the end, sounding as if a deep voice had joined hers.Vanilla could feel the wind on her skin, she could feel deep coldness that kept he
