"Lady Annie, please stay back. Don't make us hurt you!". The guards threatened Annie and all gathered in front of her to stop her. They shield the last stop of the mansion with all their weapons and power forces.
Seeing this, Annie raised an eyebrow and scoffed. "So you guys put in all these efforts just to stop me? How hilarious". Annie said as she yawned. In fact, she was actually so tired of all this nonsense that it caused her anger to be doubled. 'These idiots. They can do all this nonsense to the real host, but now, this is me. And I won't sit back and watch myself being treated like a nobody!'. Annie thought and furrowed her eyebrows even more. Even her face darkened as she declared fiercely, "You all asked for these then, not me!". After saying this, Annie stared at Amelia who she was still carrying on her shoulder, 'Her weight shouldn't be a problem for me. I can carry her for a few more minutes. But as for these vampires, I'll deal with them so much that they'd wish they had never stopped me!'. Annie thought once more before she launched an attack against the five vampire guards who blocked her path. ….. Mila arrived at the scene. "What happened here!?". Mila asked, as she was startled after seeing the five guards who were badly injured and unconscious. "You!". Mila yelled out in frustration as her eyes met with Annie, who was staring back at her with bloodshot eyes. "Yeah, me what?". Annie boldly replied to Mila without respect. Aria appeared on the scene too, and when she saw the injured vampires, she was stunned. She didn't even know how they got injured, but still, she yelled out firmly, "Mother, Annie injured all the guards!. She is a witch! She has been condemned by black magic!". "Oh. So a vampire can be called two things now?. Witch and vampire? I like that!. That title suits me well". Annie declared with a wicked smirk on her face. "What are you vampires waiting for?!! Kill that stupid girl already!". Mila ordered the 3 vampires behind her, and they immediately charged against Annie. The 3 vampires haven't even yet laid a finger on Annie, but suddenly, they all dropped dead on the floor. "Seriously, I'm more than pissed off now. Must you people force me to kill someone before you leave me alone?". Annie calmly said as she walked towards Mila and Aria, who both happened to be shivering a little in fear because of what happened now. Now, Annie was standing in front of both Mila and Aria, when her head hurt a little because she felt the real Annie's memory playing inside her head. "I see. You're that cunning stepmom who snatched my father away from my mom with your evil tricks". "I can let go of the fact that you snatched my father, but how dare you kill my mother?". Annie added, and her voice tone showed how irritated and pissed off she was right now. "How did you…. I mean, how dare you utter nonsense, Annie?!". Mila announced, and for a second, she almost gave herself away. "Mother, what are you still waiting for? Strike this bitch with your powers!". Aria hid herself behind Mila as she said this. [Swoosh!]. Mila did as her daughter ordered her to do and launched an attack against Annie, but unfortunately for her, Annie easily blocked her attack with a single finger. Mila and Aria both gasped in disbelief. 'How was she able to stop my mother's powerful attack?!. Isn't she supposed to be a useless vampire!?'. Aria gritted her teeth and moved backwards even more, after having an idea that Annie might attack her since she was the one who told Mila to attack. Although Aria had already stepped back, it was still unfortunate for her because Annie redirected Mila's power force and attacked her with it. "No!!!". Mila saw the attack Annie launched at Aria, and was certain she couldn't stop it. So she rushed to push Aria out of the way, but the attack was so fast that it ended up hitting both her and Aria in the process. Because of the attack's impact on Mila and Aria, they both fell on the ground and coughed out blood from their mouths. Mila was still trying to recover from the attack when she noticed that Annie was approaching Aria. Mila panicked and instantly went ahead and embraced Aria, while Aria simply hid in her embrace. "What a bunch of cowards". Annie hissed as she saw what the mother and daughter did. She further continued to talk, "Look at me, you two. I've changed, and I'm not that idiot Annie you used to bully before. I'm leaving you two off the hook with a warning. Don't you dare try to mess up with me or even cross paths with me ever again". Annie turned to leave, but before she left, she added, "If you guys dare me, then prepare to reach six feet underground!". Annie walked away so elegantly and dangerously as she journeyed to her own room. Plus, since Annie had already possessed the real Annie's memory, she now knew her way around the huge mansion. The vampires of the mansion who witnessed how powerful Annie was, and the suffocating aura that surrounded her, didn't dare to stop her anymore, because they were afraid of her!.There was an angry expression on Ethan's face as he made his way to the dark river mansion. He personally wanted to report Annie. He wasn't in his golden carriage and was running on foot. He didn't care about using his golden carriage because he was much faster when running on foot. Besides, all he cared about was to arrive at the dark river mansion and report Annie to the vampire King, Davis, so that Annie would be dealt with, since she was a thorn in his flesh. It took him barely five minutes, and he arrived outside the dark river mansion. The guards stationed outside the mansion’s large gates recognised Ethan, so they allowed him entry into the mansion. Once inside the dark river mansion, Ethan halted and composed himself. He arranged his disheveled black hair and dusted his clothes, while making sure that he looked decent in the eyes, for he could never present himself before Lord Davis looking untidy. Doing so would annoy Lord Davis, who loved to wear gloves and hated untidy
With only 18 minutes left, Morris prepared the potion as fast as he could. A faint smile appeared on his pale face as he stared at the potion which he was holding in his hands.Exactly when Morris the healer was about to feed the potion to Mila, who was unconscious, Ethan snatched the potion from his hand, and there was also a darkened expression on Ethan's face. “You can leave now, healer. I'll feed the potion to my wife by myself”. Ethan declared. “But-”. Morris immediately stopped talking because of the way Ethan was glaring at him. He bowed his head at Ethan and said, “I’ll take my leave now”. After Morris left Mila's room, Ethan went and sat down on the bed next to Mila. He fed her the potion, and even though she was currently unconscious, she drank it all. Ethan kept the cup aside and was deep in thought, as a result of what happened a few minutes ago. {Earlier}Annie halted and turned to Ethan. She had a proud smile on her face as she said to him, “I'll say this once, E
Morris was feeling anxious, but he had to compose himself so that they would stop staring at him with suspicious eyes. He said calmly, “Lord Ethan, I am simply worried about Madam Mila because time is running out. Nothing else”. Ethan sighed deeply. He gritted his teeth and frowned, as he quarrelled with Morris, “I know that time is running out, healer! But other than confronting Annie and dealing with her for causing harm to my wife, what do you want me to do?!”.“I-”. Morris didn't know what to say to Ethan. He could only grit his teeth in secret, as he began to harbor an unquenchable resentment towards Annie. “Did I hear someone mention my name? Or was I hallucinating?”. Everyone had to focus their attention on Annie, who spoke. Standing beside Annie was Amelia. It was now that they had both returned to the mansion from the forest. Their whole bodies were dirty. They had to return home in a hurry because Annie couldn't wait to take a bath. “There you are. You wretched daughter
As Annie and Amelia arrived in the forest, they began to search for wild berries, which was apparently the last ingredient they needed. It didn't take them more than an hour, and they found many wild berry trees. Annie couldn't wait for Amelia, because Amelia was slower than she at plucking the wild berries. So, she climbed one of the wild berry trees, and plucked as many wild berries as she could.But come to think of it, wasn't Amelia's slowness due to her external injuries? “My lady, the wild berries are enough. It's plenty, and they cannot all be used for the potion”. Hearing what Amelia said to her, caused Annie to go down from the tree without hesitation. She couldn't wait to return to the manor, because she wanted a quick bath. Her body was very sweaty and dirty! And she hated that so much. “Gather all the wild berries, Amelia. We're leaving after that”.“I'm on it, my lady”. Amelia replied and giggled, before she went to do as she had been ordered. Lord Ethan's manor,Th
“Ouch! That hurts!”. Annie exclaimed and was massaging her forehead that had hit the forehead of the other person. The guy who Annie had crashed into was also massaging his forehead. He hissed and frowned because he felt a sharp pain in his head. His hand was on his forehead while he said to Annie, “Didn't you see me before you crashed into me, young lady? Is there something wrong with your eyes? I'm now injured, and it's all thanks to you alone”. Annie marvelled after being blamed by the guy who was about her age. She positioned both her hands on her waist and was staring at him in disbelief. “Why are you blaming me? What about you? What happened to your eyes? Didn't you see me? Why did you crash into me? Now because of you, my forehead hurts like crazy!”. “You!”. The handsome guy pointed a finger at Annie. Being scolded by the guy prompted Annie to confidently raise her chin, before she replied to him, “Yes, me what?!”. Amelia was helplessly watching the two, who were busy arg
On their way to the mountains, Amelia was feeling extremely bothered. She badly wanted to ask Annie, who was in front of her, a question. Annie was a strong vampire, and because of this, she was able to read Amelia’s inner emotions. Without bothering to look at Amelia, she asked her, “What is it, Amelia? Why are you troubling yourself?”.Amelia was surprised because of Annie's question. ‘How did lady Annie know I was troubled?’. She mused. She didn't want to keep Annie waiting, causing her to reply, “My lady, I don't understand. Why did you make those suggestions to the advisors of Lord Davis? They are dangerous. So, why would you allow someone dangerous to stay with us in the manor?”. A sudden smile appeared on Annie's face after listening to Amelia's curious questions. She understood what was in Amelia's mind, and equally understood her fears. “Amelia, let me ask you a question”. Annie said to her. She stopped walking and turned to face Amelia, who was behind her, before she aske
Annie spent many minutes reading the 'spell book', and wow, she loved it. Like, everything written in the book was just so unreal to her. After many minutes had passed, Annie made a decision to go up into the mountains and find ingredients for the external healing potion. “Amelia, I've told you for the last time, you're not going to follow me to the mountains. You're still hurt. Just stay here, and my strong barrier will keep you safe”. Annie furrowed her eyebrows after she had said. Amelia was being so stubborn. “Bu- but my Lady, I won't feel okay with you going up to the mountains. Please, just let me follow you”. Amelia pleaded and wasn't ready to back down no matter what. “Remember, before your Mom left this world, I promised her that I'd look after you and protect you”. Amelia added. Annie stared at Amelia from head to toe before she thought to herself, ‘You, protect me? Look at this little girl’. After thinking, Annie said to Amelia, “I'm older than you, so I'm the one who'
Annie went outside her manor. She was about to remove the barrier she had set– when, suddenly, she noticed both Arnold and Bernard's presence. “Gosh, won't these two give up and leave me alone?”. Annie muttered in annoyance, as she was already tired of those two vampires. Annie knew that if she removed the barrier she had set, then both Arnold and Bernard would come inside her manor for sure. And at the same time, she was hungry and must pass through the barrier to get to the food storage. “What am I going to do? I don't have enough strength to fight anyone again”. Annie muttered once more. She wanted to give up and return inside, but thinking about how she'd sleep with an empty stomach– caused her stomach to growl even more hungry than before. After sighing deeply, Annie began thinking, ‘If I used this front entrance, they'd surely know that the barrier had been removed. But, if I jump through the side wall, they won't know’. After thinking, Annie nodded her head. Before Anni
A minute later, Annie left with Amelia. That was when Bernard and Arnold struggled, and finally – they rose up. Ethan got up too and immediately ran to Mila's side. He carried her and was breathing heavily since her health wasn't stable. To be fair, this should be the second to third time today– that Mila was being brutally hit– by Annie. “Aria, don't be a weakling and get up! Go get a healer for your mother, immediately! After that, find your big brother and have him return home!”. Ethan ordered before he hurriedly left with his wife, who he was carrying in his arms. After hearing her father's words, Aria groaned in pain and stood up. She didn't waste time and ran to do what her father had ordered her to do. Bernard and Arnold saw the road which Annie had followed, so they also passed through there. Their hands were placed on their injured chests as they walked side by side. It wasn't long, and for the first time ever, they arrived at Annie's own manor, which was also connec
