The vampires pushed against the whirling wind cage, claws slashing, fangs tearing but no matter the ferocity with which they attacked, they never could pass through. Aurelius punched the wall, furious."I shall rip their throats apart!" he growled. He suddenly stiffened, his whole body going rigid, as did the other vampires.The cavern descended into silence and minutes later, a loud explosive sound was heard. The vampires emerged from the cavern, one after another, Aurelius at the head, their faces even more terrifying than before.It was late, and the night air blew her hair about, soothing and refreshing. She just finished helping Sebastian scrub his back and wash his hair in the stream and now he was getting dressed while she sat on the grass, staring into the distance.The explosion, she didn't hear but soon, her heart was pounding in dread."Sebastian!" She exclaimed, scrambling to her feet, the bottom of her tunic tearing a little.He turned to her, his hands stuck in his hair.

Aurora and Sebastian descended into the hidden flatlands, shawls over their heads to protect them from the night insects.Three figures stood in the distance, shrouded in the darkness."She is one of them," Sebastian said to Aurora, taking hold of her hand, "she is kind but has quite a temper. I reckon I am not supposed to be here after our last encounter.""You have daring nerves, Sebastian Deusdedit," Othelia spat once they got close enough."Told ya," Sebastian whispered and Aurora bit back a laugh."Madam Othelia," Sebastian bowed and Aurora followed suit, "madam Ceres and the young lady."Madam Othelia whacked his head with her walking stick just like the last time."Seems your stick has taken a particular liking to my head," Sebastian joked, wincing a bit. He straightened."And it seems the gods did not bless you with enough wisdom to rule your empire which is why you have ended up this way," madam Othelia shot back."Do not condescend to his level, Othelia," madam Ceres scolded

Sebastian laid Aurora on the ground. He checked her pulse and heaved a sigh of relief."What have you done to her? Why does she sleep?""She was a bit hysterical. I had to put her to sleep.""Wake her up," he ordered."Not until we have our talk, son."She hovered over him, causing him to feel uneasy.He rose, standing protectively at Aurora's side. He stared at her."Tell me where you have been these years," he obliged.She eyed him up, her face squeezing up in distaste."Do not act so guarded, I mean you no harm." She clicked her tongue.Sebastian shot her a grim smile, "that would be believable under normal circumstances. What happened to you? We thought you were dead?""I was," she revealed, turning away from him, "sent to my death by your father.""What?" His eyes narrowed."Your father," she began with a snort, "loved women which is why he had so many concubines, even after I bore him a son, the heir to his throne. He wasn't satisfied, he wanted more sons but I strangely couldn'

"I am not done with you two yet," she barked. Aurora sat up then stood, and Sebastian followed. "Rot in hades, you evil witch," Aurora spat in contempt and blasted her away with the air. "Quick," she turned to Sebastian in haste, "we must find our way out of here." "Not so fast." Aurora shut her eyes with a sigh. It was too good a wish. She turned back around, coming face to face with the old lady. Her souless eyes sucked her in, trapping her in depths so dark, it scared her. "You will go back to your city," the old lady began with a smirk. "You!" Sebastian pulled Aurora away from her hypnotizing eyes. Aurora gasped, coming back to consciousness. She glared at the witch, not daring to look her too long in the eye. "Create a barrier," Sebastian said to her through the mind link, "so that she may use her powers on you no longer." Sebastian stepped in front of Aurora, giving her time. "What else do you seek, mother?" mother came out like vomit, "your plan came to naught. Let us g

Sebastian was long gone, drowned in the depths of his hidden hunger for her blood. It was her blood, right from the very first, the very first moment he smelt that dark red liquid, the very first moment he yearned to taste it; it was hers.She was right. He fed on all sorts of blood but he was never satisfied and he had to fight the desire, the yearning for what he truly craved because it was far out of his reach. He would never do that to her.But at that moment, unaware that she was no longer conscious, he did hurt her. Mouthfuls after mouthfuls of blood and he still wanted more, until there was no more to drink. His blood crazed brain slowly returned back to its senses and he retracted his fangs.His eyes, now glowing a golden yellow, gazed at his victim until it widened in horror."Aurora!" He shook her wildly. His hands stilled, his eyes running over her body. Her skin was terribly pale, drained of color… and blood."Oh no…" he b
