"Will you just calm down?",said Natalie in a low voice. "You were the one who asked me to tie you up in the first place""Good, now I'm asking you to let me go", shouted Zane."I'm sorry, I can't.... you'll only hurt yourself or others""Don't do this Natalie. Please.....please just....just let me go!",said Zane, now crying."The manipulation won't work Zane. All tbe werewolves are blood hungry on the night of full moon. You are, too. Once I let you go, you're only going to hurt someone",said Natalie"No! No! I won't! I promise! Okay? You let me go and I won't hurt anyone!",pleaded Zane"You don't know what you're talking about", said Natalie. "Only a couple of hours more and you'll return back to normal""This is normal!",roared ZaneNatalie didn't reply, she just sat there looking out of the window and occasionally humming songs.Zane resisted a lot. Natalie didn't pay attention to him. She knew that Zane was under the influence of the full moon. He wasn't himself and it would be un
"I miss Alice.....I feel like she shouldn't have left....we shouldn't have let her""It was her choice",said Zane. "We wouldn't have been able to convince her to come if she really didn't want to""That's right....she was one of the strongest among us........ Now stop avoiding the topic and answer my question , what are you going to do?",asked Natalie"I... I'm going to find my people!", replied Zane. They were sitting near the river in Helmfirth. The scenery was beautiful but, Natalie was more interested in knowing what Zane was about to do."I'm gonna find our people",Zane promised. "But that's not what I want", replied Natalie"Then what?""I.....I want you to be safe Zane. I know and you know it too that it's extremely dangerous, going into the forest of deception!""It's a risk I have to take""Why are you so intent on finding them?!""Because my mother might still be alive!",muttered Zane. "When, my planet was being overrun by vampires. Some werewolves escaped into the forest
"And that's it",Zane said,after explaining everything. He had told them all about his home planet. How his father died, how he came to earth, how he and Natalie hid their secrets and how they would sneak out of the orphanage every month on the night of the full moon, how he found out he was an alpha, what he needed the rope for and how he needed to go find a way to his kingdom or wherever his people are."You kept a secret that big, from us?!",shouted Laurel. "Okay but that explains the name.... Zane Alaric? I knew your name sounded like a prince""Man that's so cool",said Bennett"I knew it!",shouted Emily happily"You shouldn't have kept that from us though Zane",said Helen"But, these 7 kingdoms....they are very large, how will you know where your people are? You can't search the entire kingdoms one by one, can you?",asked Scarlett"I know, but, wherever my people might have landed, they will still be inside the forest of that kingdom, because every kingdom will be hunting down wer
Laurel opened the book and there were big pictures of kingdoms and smiling sun and happy trees and there were five to six sentences in one page."It's a children's book",said Laurel to herself and she read the first chapter out loud.Once upon a time, there was a kingdom. The kingdom of Elysium. It was like heaven on Earth. All the creatures, from goblins, to werewolves to vampires to fairies and dragons and humans, and all other beings lived there. The most beautiful kingdom. The king of Elysium, had four daughters and four sons. The king was also in possession of an item 'The sword of Bane'. That sword was the only item keeping the kingdom together, because it was said to have the greatest power and anyone wielding it, was said to possess great power and every kingdom would follow the ruler in possession of the sword. Because only the worthy can find it. But the king soon lost the sword and there was chaos in his kingdom. The children of the king did not like each other and that was
Natalie followed Zane and she ultimately managed to stop him."Hey Zane! Look, they...they are just looking out for you! Okay? Ofcourse we will all help you look for your people""They are not just my people...they are yours too""Yes I know",said Natalie. "So, are you calm? Because, we need to come up with a plan to find Derek, now that we know about the kingdoms and the forest"Zane nodded and said,"Yes ofcourse.....I was just mad because everyone is blindly so convinced that all of my people are dead!""I know they are not",said Natalie smiling and hugging him. Suddenly there were footsteps behind Natalie. They both looked to find two guards standing. "Queen Kendra is asking for Natalie",said the first guard"Why?", demanded Zane"She wants to talk to her.",said the second guard"Well, I'll come along then",said Zane"The queen specifically requested for Natalie only""But, what does she want to talk to her about? She can say it infront of me",said Zane getting angryNatalie turn
Zane went to his room and pocketed his lead knife and his locket. He sat on his bed, looking out of the window, staring at the forest of deception, fighting the urge to go running inside the forest. There was a knock on the door and Zane opened the door to two other guards and looked at them and shrugged. "What?""Queen Kendra, wants us to take you near the forest of deception. She wants to show you something""Wait, is that where you all took Natalie?!",asked Zane in an alarming voice"No",they replied."But you need to come with us now"Zane nodded and followed them. Maybe they wanted to show Zane something that might help him find his people. The walk from the palace to the forest was long but Zane was very excited, so it didn't seem long to him. Finally they reached the forest and Zane asked,"So, what are we doing here? What did the queen want me to see?" The Soldiers didn't answer, they just kept on going forward inside the forest, Zane knew it wasn't safe but he kept going fo
Natalie was crying. She had tears running down her face."How did you know?",she asked the queen"It's an interesting story",said the queen. "Your brother is looking for other kingdoms to attack. To gain power. And for the past few years, there has been a whisper about the sightings of the Sword of Bane. Now, I like power but not that much. Sword of Bane is the most powerful object to have ever existed. And your brother is after it. And that is the only reason he attacked Byrandan. Imagine what would happen if I told poor Zane that the love of his life is a vampire in disguise, waiting to kill him""That's not true! I would never hurt Zane!", shouted Natalie"But that's what you came to do....isn't it?",asked the queen. "Your brother had assigned you to go and get the information about the sword of Bane and then kill the future king of Byrandan. But instead you chose to disobey him and you fell in love with Zane....Now how tragic is that?!"Natalie didn't reply. So the queen continued
From here, begins another journey of Zane. A very difficult one, but tough nonetheless.Zane and Derek had landed in Pamlivam, the land of vampires, it was extremely unsafe for them over there, but soon enough they found a safe haven and became friends with Daisy, a vampire. A lot of things happened with Zane in Pamlivam and he returned a changed man. A broken man. After many years, the sword of Bane, a very powerful magical artefact, had resurfaced. It could save all, or destroy all. Could Zane get the sword before someone else? Could he save them? Or could he give in and be the monster that ruins everything?To find out more, read further-To
