Chapter 8

❤️ The Duel (Part 1) ❤️

Wolf Kingdom:

"You, go and get my horse ready," she said to a guard not bothered about the gathering dark clouds. "Tell Barwolf to prepare my spear for me. He should not keep me waiting."

"Yes my King." the guard responded and hurried up to do as told.

Snorting out loud she went back to her room and quickly had her bath putting on a revealing short gown.

She left her room and when she came out of the opening, her father with the help of some other guards were waiting for her with her spear. Her horse too.

Collecting the reins of her horse and climbing on it. She took the spear from them.

"Where are you going?" Barwolf asked, wetting his lips nervously as Raziah turned to stare coldly at him. "Just in case someone seeks you, I might know where you are and send for you my King," he added.

"The Vampire kingdom. Someone better seek me Barwolf if not, I swear by my mothers, I will cut off one of your toes." Raziah told him and without another word kicked her horse at the side and it galloped away.

Barwolf began praying and hoping.

Turning to return to what he was doing, a cracking sound was heard and a black mist appeared and soon Dark stood in the place of the black mist.

Barwolf swallowed hard when he saw his new visitor and fell down to his knees.

His presence and aura alone made everyone in the Palace all fall down to their knees.

Dark smiled when he saw their reaction to his presence, they always have that effect whenever he is around. He returned his gaze to the man he hates the most. Because of that stupid promise he made to little Raziah he hasn't come to torture him.

"Barwolf, Barwolf." Dark said walking towards him, his vile smirk making Barwolf shaking. "Raziah, where is she? She has something that is mine."

"She left not too long ago to the Vampire Kingdom." Barwolf answered, thinking Dark will leave and go in search of Raziah in the Vampire Kingdom.

"Oh, I see, I will have to wait for her," Dark said. "While I wait for her, don't make me get bored." He added.

Vampire Kingdom:

Raziah arrived at the gate that leads inside the Vampire kingdom but the guards there all blocked the entrance.

Bending down to start whispering to her horse.

"We were ordered not to allow you in here and if you don't turn back we will be forced to figh-" the blonde male Vampire didn't get to complete his words when Raziah jumped out of her horse and on him. Her fingers changed into sharp long pointy claws and tore off his head like a piece of cake and fling his body like a football which flew upwards and out of sight. And with her two claws hands she squeezed the head in it and gave the others guards a lopsided smile. Her eyes changed to that of her wolf.

"If you want to join him, come on." she told them and began laughing like a maniac.

The Vampire King, Jold, was in a meeting with his Vampire council which contains 5 people when the door of their meeting room was kicked open and Raziah strode in, her body and gown covered in blood. She was dragging one of the guards with one of her hands and the spear was in her other empty hand and when she had gotten their attention, she marched the head of the Vampire guard which burst open and his brains fell out.

"What are you doing here?" King Jold demanded. He was surprised to see Raziah, he could recognize her.

"Better tell your people to go and clean up the mess I made at your gate. Your guards managed to stay on their feet for 30 seconds before they met their death. They did you proud Jold." Raziah answered him.

"What do you mean?" Jold asked, pretending not to know what Raziah was saying.

"Protecting your kingdom against me from entering won't shake me. I am here. I am finally inside your kingdom." Raziah told him. "Next time when you give out an order make sure that they are two times stronger than me, I." she pointed at herself with pride. "I am a class on my own."

"I didn't tell anyone to fight you," King Jold said with a bit of a trembling voice. "Why will I ask them to fight you when they know your reputation? We all know how strong you are. You defeated the giant Kingdom, we heard about it so why will I give them orders to fight you." he added lying through his teeth. He did give out the orders. In fact the meeting they were having was about Raziah. Information had reached him of how Raziah had saved the Hobgoblin Kingdom and how the Queen had agreed to her terms. He had sent for his council for them to put their heads together to protect their kingdom against Raziah since they don't know which kingdom will be her next.

"I don't care, you know why I am here, right?"

"Yes." King Jold admitted.

"It's King to you." Raziah snarled out.

"I'm sorry my King." Jold apologize, forcing himself to say those words.

"Good, now, I am here so that you can hand over your kingdom to me peacefully or let it end in war. And may I remind you that in war, I will kill you." She told him.

"It hasn't reached like that my King. I have a question."

"Don't expect me to answer any stupid question you ask Jold but go ahead."

"We ruled peacefully in our separate kingdoms for centuries until you were born and now you want every kingdom to be under you." King Jold said but got Interrupted by Raziah.

"Every fuc.king one of them."

"Why?" He asked.

"Because I want it. I know it may be hard for you to accept the changes but your hatred of me won't stop me from doing what I want from your kingdom. You will still be the King but you will answer to me and if you refuse, war. There will be war and you Jold will regret ever going against me. I will give you time to think. Do have a good day ahead." she told them and left, passing the Vampire Prince who didn't even bow to her, he was staring at her.

Stopping and turning slightly to look at him in fury. He was her height or a bit taller than her, muscular and was handsome. His red eyes matched with his short red hair sparkling as he couldn't tear his gaze off her.

"Should I remind you what to do when you see me?" Raziah asked in anger.

"You're beautiful, so beautiful and your blood smells very nice to me." the handsome Prince, whom she is yet to know his name, said, his fangs slowly coming out.

"What did you say?" Raziah gritted out, her claws coming out. She hates being called 'beautiful' because it brings bad unwanted memories to her. Those were the words her father had called her when he had disvirgined her. She has hated those words with passion.
