Chapter 11: Vampire lord

"So where are the others hiding?" Aurora asked as they travelled the caves on the second day. The caves was the easiest route for them to travel without being seen. "Far North. Sebastian's grandfather murdered a vast number of us so we fled, far away and settled in the hills bordering Jaresh. Only the rogue vampires come in here to attack.""Vampire lord. A man, he called himself the vampire lord. He sent his followers after me and made then turn me. Who is he?""Why do you bother? You killed him.""There may be more of his followers, and they may come after me… and my wife.""His name is Rufus. He was the leader of the rogue vampires. He has an obsessive hatred for humans. He was left half dead by his half brother just before his engagement then rescued by a blood sucker who turned him.""He said he wanted to use me to conquer my empire.""Sounds like him."Sebastian was lost in thought. His father, how was he faring? He hadn't thought of him all these while. Who was managing the em

Chapter 12: Twin

"How's this possible?" Sebastian asked Lydia, his gaze fixed on the vampire lord."He's not him, this is his twin, Linus."The big vampire's brows furrowed, "you've met my twin?""In a not so pleasant way. We're not here to cause you any harm, we simply need a place to hide."Linus let out a sarcastic laugh, "and why would the great emperor of Jerash need lowly me to offer me a place to hide?"Sebastian gazed at him until Linus' eyes expressed his shocked realization."My brother turned you?" He scoffed, "impossible. How did he get to lay his hands on you? Emperor Sebastian with a vast number of soldiers at his fingertips.""I only just got crowned, you can spare me the sarcasm."Linus' nostrils flared."Very well, you can all return to your duties," he said to his followers and they went away, one after the other, after sparing long looks at them."Follow me," he said to Sebastian."Respect," Aurora cut in, taking Sebastian's hand, "emperor Sebastian, your honor."Linus shot her an i

Chapter 13: Consequences

Aurora slowly folded the clothes in the satchel and placed them in the open wooden box. Sebastian watched her from the doorway. She backed him. Her hair was loose and her posture betrayed her sadness.She was avoiding him since dinner."What I said? Does it bother you?" He spoke up.She ignored him, picking up another tunic."I apologize."She still said nothing and he blew out a breath."I asked for you to end my life, Aurora because I detested myself, I detested what I had become and I didn't want to live a life deemed as a nuisance."She said nothing and he grew desperate."I do wish to end my life but not do badly. I am still trying to come to terms with what I've become. It's all still new to me, Aurora and I wish for you to see me in a good light."Her hands stilled and she slowly turned her head to face him. There were tears in her eyes."I understand, Sebastian but I can't help but feel bad. You don't need to worry."He took quick strides to her and sat beside her."I worry, A

Chapter 14: Poisoned

Aurora suddenly stumbled and slipped from her high position up the tunnels. Sebastian was quick to catch her."Merciful Zeus, Aurora, you almost caused me an early death," he sighed, setting her on her feet."Apologies," she muttered, holding unto him. She looked up at the height she was and the long distance to the ground."You don't seem fine," he kissed her hair."I fear something bad has happened to Linus and Maximus," she muttered."How do you know that?""I do not, I… I just feel it. My heart isn't at ease."Sebastian pushed up her face and inspected it. Beads of sweat ran down her chin and her eyes were unsteady. He still didn't understand how she got her new powers of mind control. She could control anything and everything, living and non living, even causing her body to levitate."Then we must go out to look for them," he pronounced, tsking her hand and leading her back into the tunnels."But," she hesitated, "what if it is your brother?"He looked at her, "perhaps it's time

Chapter 15: Moon goddess

"What?" Lydia gasped, falling to her knees. Sure enough, the wound area was changing to an ugly green and spouting blabk blood.Sebastian grunted heavily, pulling himself up to a sitting position. He recognized the poison in an instant. Silphium. He had used it a lot, to poison arrows that were shot into the body of vampires. The injuries never healed and the vampires ended up dieing within a few hours.He turned his gaze to Aurora who was anxiously gauging the wound. He tried, he really tried to stay alive for her, to keep Mors' anger away but perhaps, his time was long due."Do not bother about me," he said to the frantic group, "I shall not survive another day. Go on with the mission.'Aurora met his gaze, her eyes filling with tears."Dearest Aurora," he sighed, taking her into his arms."It's not fair, it's not fair," she cried miserably. Aurelius and Luna turned away sadly, leaving the shed. Lydia followed."It's not fair," she wept, hugging him tightly."I'm sorry for the pains

Chapter 16: Sacrifice

"Mother," Aurora's eyes watered, her features miserable."My lady," Luna called, pointing behind her and she turned back to Sebastian who was terribly pale and ashy.She swiped a hand over her eyes, for ing herself not to cry."Bastian, you need to feed," she whispered, rolling up her sleeves and offering him her hand.He groaned, shuffling away from her. His eyes were bloodshot and his fangs out, he looked about ready to kill anything within sight."Do not fight any more, Bastian, you don't have to. Drink." She stretched out her smooth creamy skin to him. He shut his eyes tightly, his claws digging into his skin and drawing blood."Aurora, stop," he forced out in great agony."Animal blood won't work this time, Bastian, you know it. You want it, you need it, have it."She placed her hand directly against his nostrils. He shook his head wildly, scurrying back and hitting the wall. She followed, offering her wrist to his sharpened fangs. This time, he bit in sharply with a loud growl.

Chapter 17: Youngest brother

"Do not kill me, I beg you," Justus pleaded immediately, bowing to the ground, "I know you are now a powerful being with great powers but spare your humble servant."Sebastian's face scrunched up in confusion. This didn't seem like his pompous brother."Get up and speak to me," he ordered.He scurried to his feet."The emperor Thaddeus sent me," Justus spoke immediately, "he wants you to return home."Sebastian grew more bewildered."Thaddeus is now the emperor? What about Lucius?""Your honor, Lucius is dead. He was killed by the blood suckers."Sebastian tapped his forehead, remembering the moon goddess promise."Thaddeus is asking for something far behind him. I am now a blood sucker and I cannot live amongst you normal humans.""I know, your honor but we urgently need your help. Thaddeus is anxious to step down as he does not wish to be affected by the curse…""What curse?""The curse on the throne. Since father, everyone else that has ascended the throne has been afflicted in the

Chapter 18: Immortal

Thaddeus marched out of the dungeon and up into the main palace. Corpses upon corpses of dead Arab soldiers he had been scared into cowardice by. He knew the fight was a lost one and so he made no effort to fight but was it really Sebastian's little wife that did so?Getting to the throne room, he met Sebastian finishing off an Arab soldier with a stab of his claws."Good one, brother, seems you're one of the good blood suckers," he spoke, folding his arms behind him, his fingertips grazing his sword.Sebastian let go of the dead soldier, his nose picking up a familiar scent, his vision travelled and what he saw made his blood boil. He shut his eyes, calming himself and turned to his brother with a stern face."Where's Justus?" "Somewhere," Thaddeus shrugged, taking slow steps around."And my wife?"Thaddeus smiled, "I should thank you, really, she is a feisty one. Saved the day while I hid like the coward I am in the dungeons.""Where's she?"He feigned ignorance, "ran off somewhere

Chapter 19: New life

A year after…"Okay go on, children, go help mother," Aurora smiled at the little ones. They happily ran off, chattering excitedly amongst themselves."You'll tire yourself out if you keep attempting to be everywhere, my lady," Justus spoke, falling in step with her.She chuckled, "I am simply keeping myself occupied. Where have you been?"They walked together around the busy marketplace, enjoying the cheery mood of the villagers."Making preparations to find lord Sebastian and issue him a query for not visiting for two whole months."She laughed, "Don't do that, Justus. I'm sure my husband has his spectacular reason for doing so.""I know, I do not worry about him.""So why do you bother? Thank you, Zeus blessings," she smiled gratefully at a villager who offered her oranges from his produce."Zeus blessings," Justus bowed in appreciation."Because I worry about you. You're pretty lonely here without him and no matter how much you occupy yourself with your duties, it still doesn't fi

Chapter 20: Raiders

"Whatever happened?" She queried, bewildered. Her hands ran over his face, mesmerized."You happened," he smiled at her."What?""After I my close court with death and you saved me with you blood, I never noticed the effect it had since I avoided the sun completely," he paused, kissing her hand, "but once, over a month ago, I had to fight off enemies that tried to conquer us and the battle lasted into dawn. The sun shown down and we fled and I thought I wouldn't make it, some of us didn't but then I noticed that the I wasn't cursed with the sum any more. I could walk freely and bask in it's glory,"Her eyes were wide. She looked up at the sun and back at him."That's… that's…" she shook her head, still speechless.He nuzzled her hand, "I decided I had to get to the bottom of that miracle and so I travelled to see a clairvoyant which was why I was unable to see you for almost two months, my love and I apologize dearly. Finding a clairvoyant was harder than I thought as most of them wer
