"Help!"
Shit! Why are these two days always a bad day for me?
Last night I had to suppress all my passion for sucking Amy's blood just because I felt sorry for her. This time, the woman I bought for $400,000 also fled in fear. Has my strength decreased?
I always catch my target. This afternoon's hunt did not go well because the number of stupid humans was far more than us.
But, I assure you my victims won't fool me again this time. Even if it fails, the last resort is Amy's blood. I can't if I have to delay any longer.
"KYAA! Help!"
great! This woman finally fell because of a tree root. After all, what's so hard about just being quiet and waiting for death? It just bothers me to chase him into the forest like this.
"I beg whoever you are, don't hurt me! I promise I will--."
Too late, honey.
Ah, the blood of a young girl sure is delicious.
My body is refreshed. Unfortunately, she has too little blood, in accordance with her skinny body. Just a few sucks; she had turned into a skeleton.
Game over. I immediately reduced the skull to ashes. Drowsiness started to come; my body had to rest after three days of struggling to get blood. However, my steps stopped when I smelled a human scent in this forest.
Who are the people who have come here? Whoever it is, I'll be getting extra blood for free.
I focused my smell on getting the human's location. As it turned out, it was not far from where I was now, and when I was getting ready to finish him off, I found out that this human was Amy.
"What are you doing here, Amy?"
Her face was pale and scared; from his expression, I'm sure she saw how I sucked the woman's blood earlier.
"I-I-I'm sorry, K-King Oliver."
"I don't want to hear your apologies. How did you get here? How do you get out of that room? Didn't I lock it already?!"
The moonlight shone on Amy's face; her beauty radiated. That innocent face filled with fear again made my heart flutter. I feel fragile as a Vampire king who has lived for 126 years. It feels like my pride is stepped on when a weak human can amaze me because of her appearance.
"You didn't lock my bedroom, King Oliver. I felt bored and… decided to go outside for some fresh air."
"Save your bullshit, Amy! I know what you're thinking; you're trying to escape. Tonight all my members are gone; I'm the only one left after buying the girl at the bar. You took this opportunity to escape. Stupid!"
Amy gasped; her hands seemed to be squeezing the hem of her clothes, and she felt annoyed.
"Don't expect to get out of here, Amy. If I find out you're trying to run away again, I won't hesitate to rip your throat and suck your blood as I did to that woman just now! You saw it, right?"
Amy still lowered her head; she didn't respond to me.
"Answer me!"
I raised Amy's head by clutching her face; she looked like she was crying while nodding and saying. "Y-yes, King Oliver."
"Now, come back before all my members come. I still want to spend time in this forest. Remember what I said, don't think about running away!"
I pushed Amy's body. She immediately ran off with sobs that sounded quite strong—typical human, whiny and weak. Amy's body scent left behind, raising my passion for blood. And it looks like spending the night soaking in the lake is good enough.
"KYAA!"
The scream came from the front. And the voice belonged to Amy.
Who attacked her in my territory?! This smell… The outcast! Shit!

TRAPPED IN THE DARK CASTLE 54
OLIVER’S POVWe reached the castle long after midnight, guiding the rescued girls into the main hall where Gina and the remaining clan members prepared blankets, water, and warm food. Most of them were shaking, some crying, some silent, but they were alive. That was more than they had yesterday.Amy walked beside me the entire time, her steps unsteady but determined. Her skin glowed faintly under the torchlight, veins shimmering with a pale iridescence that only I seemed to notice. The pure blood inside her wasn’t resting. It was moving. Changing. Pushing.She didn’t complain. She never did. But every few steps, she pressed her hand against her chest, as if trying to calm a storm beneath her ribs.Once the girls settled safely, I guided Amy to the upper corridor.“You need to rest,” I said.“I’m fine,” she insisted.She wasn’t fine. Her pulse was unsteady. Her scent kept shifting—part human, part something ancient, something not yet awakened. Her aura pulsed in short bursts, uncontrol
TRAPPED IN THE DARK CASTLE 53
AMY’S POVThe bar looked smaller than I remembered, but that was probably because I wasn’t the same girl who had been dragged out of here in chains. The neon sign flickered weakly above the door, casting a sickly pink glow over cracked pavement and overflowing trash bins. The alley reeked of sweat, alcohol, and old blood—so familiar my stomach twisted.Oliver stood beside me, tall and silent, his aura a heavy shield pressing against my back. Two of his strongest clan members, Rovan and Elias, positioned themselves at the alley entrance to prevent anyone from escaping. Gina stood behind them with a crossbow made of reinforced steel, her face stern.“This is where they took you,” Oliver said, even though he already knew the answer.“Yes,” I replied, forcing my voice steady. “Right through that door.”Oliver’s expression sharpened. “Then no one walks out of this place alive unless you allow it.”The protectiveness in his tone made my chest tighten, but I pushed away the emotion. I needed
TRAPPED IN THE DARK CASTLE 52
AMY’S POVBy the time I was finally allowed to leave the healer’s room, the castle smelled like burnt stone and fresh sawdust. The repairs had started, but the damage was a painful reminder of everything that had happened. My legs still felt heavy, and my arm still throbbed under the bandage, but walking helped me feel like a person again—something more than a survivor lying on a bed.Gina accompanied me through the hall, gently making sure I didn’t collapse halfway. The corridors were full of vampires carrying beams, patching walls, or sweeping broken debris. Some glanced at me with a mix of curiosity, gratitude, and confusion. They knew what I had done. They knew what I had become. They weren’t sure how to behave around me yet.Neither was I.Oliver stood at the far end of the corridor, speaking to two guards while inspecting a broken archway. He gestured decisively to one of them, then turned and glanced back just in time to see me walking toward him. His posture straightened immed
TRAPPED IN THE DARK CASTLE 51
AMY’S POVI woke slowly, as if my body had been trapped beneath a thick layer of darkness. The first thing I felt was warmth—steady and comforting—pressed gently against my hand. When I opened my eyes, the healer’s lanterns glowed dimly from the far side of the room, their light flickering against cracked walls that told their own story of destruction. My arm throbbed under the bandage, but the pain was dull, no longer sharp or overwhelming.Oliver sat beside me.His head was bowed slightly, his hand still wrapped around mine, fingers locked with enough pressure to tell me he hadn’t let go for hours. His shoulders were tense, and his posture looked strained, like someone holding back a weight too heavy to put down.He hadn’t slept.He hadn’t moved.He had stayed by my side the entire time.“Oliver,” I whispered, my voice rough from dryness.His head shot up instantly. His eyes met mine, and the relief that washed over his face was so raw it nearly knocked the breath out of me. He lean
TRAPPED IN THE DARK CASTLE 50
OLIVER’S POVThe hall remained silent long after Bernatta’s ashes disappeared. The dust settled slowly across the broken floor, and the air felt unnaturally still, as if the castle itself was too exhausted to breathe. I held Amy tightly against my chest, her body limp, her breathing faint but steady. Her pulse brushed softly against my fingers—a rhythm weak, but alive.Alive was enough.Gina approached carefully across the rubble, her boots crunching over shattered stone. Her eyes widened when she saw the remains of Bernatta scattered in fading trails across the ground.“She’s really gone,” Gina whispered.“Yes,” I said, adjusting my hold on Amy. “Permanently.”Gina looked at the dagger still clenched in Amy’s hand, the blade stained with darkened crimson and flecks of ash. She exhaled shakily. “She did it.”“She did,” I said, staring at the small streak of blood drying along Amy’s wrist. “At great cost.”“We have to get her to the healer,” Gina insisted.“I know.”But I didn’t move
TRAPPED IN THE DARK CASTLE 49
AMY’S POVThe moment Bernatta screamed, the entire hall trembled violently. Her magic flared outward, cracking stone pillars and scattering debris across the floor. Oliver used his aura to shield us, pulling me closer so the falling rubble wouldn’t crush either of us. Her scream wasn’t just rage—it was the sound of real fear, sharp and unmistakable. She understood what I had seen inside my head, even before I fully understood it myself.Oliver leaned in, his voice low and urgent. “Amy, tell me exactly what you saw.”I kept my eyes locked on Bernatta as I spoke. “A blade made of silver. Dipped in my blood. Straight through her heart.”Oliver’s jaw tightened, and I felt his aura shift beside me. His power surged again, reacting to the confirmation of her weakness. Gina, positioned near the lower staircase, gasped when she heard the words.“That makes sense,” Gina said loudly. “Pure blood breaks witch magic, and silver disrupts hybrid bodies. Combined, it could kill her permanently.”Ber
