Chapter 4

Author: Two Nine
The basement was swallowed in darkness, the air heavy with dust and the stench of mildew.

Clattering footsteps and muffled voices blended into one, seeping through the gap under the door.

The noise sounded distant and blurred, as if I were listening through glass.

Deprived of oxygen, I could barely keep my eyes open. I slumped against the wall in the corner until everything faded to black.

I drifted into an endless dream.

A warm hand cradled my back, pulling me gently into an embrace.

  • To Be The Vampire Bride   Chapter 7

    “Vera… I’m so sorry.” Isabella’s voice was faint and hoarse. Without warning, Alistair burst through the door, his hair disheveled and his chin dark with stubble. Alistair had lived for five hundred years, yet he had never been seen in such an unkempt state.Yet as soon as his gaze caught Isabella awake, all strength left his limbs, dropping him straight to the floor beside her.Not commenting on his state, Isabella simply whispered his name. “Alistair.” That was enough to break the Vampire Prince who had ruled the vampire realm for half a millennium into tears. Taking her hand, Alistair called out her name repeatedly. “Isabella… Isabella…” I slipped out and closed the door behind me, giving the couple some space. At the end of the hallway, Lucien leaned against the wall and raised his brow at the sight of me. “Not exactly his most dignified moment, huh?” I shook my head. “He just loves her with all his heart.” Lucien stared at the door and remarked out of the blue,

    Lucien held the car door open for me.The car drove into the darkness, and along the way, I fell into deep contemplation. Since Alistair had cleared me of any involvement, what reason did he have to see me? Lost in confusion, I lost track of time until the car came to a halt. I shifted my gaze outside the car window, noting that the car pulled up right outside the private medical wing Alistair had set up for Isabella. Lucien led me through the familiar hallway and into the elevator. The elevator floor numbers climbed, stopping at a level I had never been given clearance to step foot in. As I walked out, a tall shadow caught my eye, standing at the end of the hallway.Alistair stood outside a patient’s room. Beyond the glass pane lay a figure lying on the bed, an IV line hooked to the back of her hand. I knew that face too well. It was Isabella, and she was still alive! Bursting with questions, I was about to speak. Alistair brought his index finger up to his lips

    The air went still. The Blacks stood frozen, faces drained of color.Cecilia’s voice trembled violently. “If you knew everything, why didn’t you just arrest us?” Not offering an answer, Lucien tilted his head and locked his crimson eyes on her. The smirk on his face gave off an unsettling vibe. By now, the truth had finally sunk in even for someone as dense as Cecilia. If the Blacks were handed over to the authorities, the worst outcome was execution at worst. However, death was far too easy a way out. Lucien sneered, “Prison? Execution? That would be letting you off far too easily.“Come to think of it, I'm curious. You sure are bold to lay a hand on Her Highness. She's the only person in this world who has ever made His Highness lose his composure. Once, he had all the roses removed from the realm after she pricked her finger on one. Of course, Her Highness changed that by expressing a desire to see them again.” Cecilia looked like she had been punched in the gut,

    The basement was swallowed in darkness, the air heavy with dust and the stench of mildew. Clattering footsteps and muffled voices blended into one, seeping through the gap under the door. The noise sounded distant and blurred, as if I were listening through glass. Deprived of oxygen, I could barely keep my eyes open. I slumped against the wall in the corner until everything faded to black. I drifted into an endless dream. A warm hand cradled my back, pulling me gently into an embrace. A tender woman’s voice hummed a tuneless lullaby right next to my ear. I looked up to find myself lying in the arms of a woman whose face was a blur. Funny enough, this was the first time I had ever felt love. It was an unconditional love. I strained my eyes, desperate to catch a glimpse of her face, but before I knew it, I snapped awake. Lying in the back of a luxury sedan, I could smell a whiff of leather mixed with a subtle scent of blood. I dropped my gaze and noticed that my w

    For the next few days, I was a captive in my own room. I was confined to the small space. The news of Isabella’s passing spread like wildfire across the vampire realm. Alistair put out a bounty for clues on the killer, offering an astronomically high reward.Social media blew up with chatter. “The sheer audacity. These idiots dare hurt a member of House Dracul?” “Word is it was those suicidal vampire hunters. Are we declaring war on them?” “It’s possible. I heard that His Highness was a cold-blooded monster back in the day until he met his wife. Now that she’s gone, a lot of heads are going to roll.” That was true. Heads would roll, all right. The sad soul in question was blissfully lost in her daydream of wearing the crown. Two things had set the vampire world ablaze. One was Alistair’s mourning and the bounty he had offered for information about the incident, while the other was Cecilia's apparent heroic rescue. One photo was everywhere. Cecilia, dressed in white

    For once, Cecilia didn’t argue back as she usually did. She scoffed and sneered, “Oh, please, Nora. You’re just jealous because I’m about to be Princess.” Alistair’s voice came through the door. I had never seen this kind of agility in Cecilia before. With her eyes sparkling, Cecilia shot up from her seat. She tucked her hair back hastily and straightened out her dress before walking out. Cecilia halted at the doorway and snapped her head back, pointing at me with a warning. “Stay put. If you walk out and ruin things for me, I’ll make you pay!” Being sisters, we looked quite alike. If she shared a passing resemblance to Isabella, my face was practically her double.It would be Cecilia’s worst nightmare if I showed up and stole Alistair’s attention away because my face bore a stronger match to Isabella’s. Personally, I believed she was worrying over nothing. I had zero interest in the Vampire Prince. I wished for nothing more than to stay as far away from him as p
