All Chapters of The Vampire King: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Both their eyes bulged out, centimeters from each other. "Tighten the security in the dungeon. You may leave." Julian placed a hand over Livia's trembling mouth, pressing his lips over her covered mouth. Her eyes were watery and she seemed about to collapse any second. He held her gaze, strengthening her weak ones with his hard ones. Justus made to continue his journey but halted, the closet on his right drawing his attention. Julian swallowed. Justus' eyes narrowed and he took a step closer… and another… and another. Livia's eyes were wide and she was trembling excessively. Julian's hand found it's way to his sword sheath and he tensely waited. Justus stared at the closet, shook his head with a smile then walked away. Only after several moments did the two sinners in the closet relax. "Oh merciful Zeus, oh merciful Zeus, what if he scented us, what if he knows we were here, what if he…" Julian kissed her, long and hard until she was too breathless to speak. She gaped at him,

Sabastian walked through the hallways and corridors, invisible to the human eye. They were out of the west wing and walking towards the large palace door which had guards around it.He had to keep his focus on both the task at hand and watching the dungeon. If he was disturbed in his physical state, it would affect his non-physical state and he had two souls to protect.The door… it was shut. There was no way he was going to pull it open without attracting attention. He stopped right in front of the door, Livia breathing tensely behind him. He looked into a guard's eye, controlling his mind. The guard dropped his weapon and pulled open the large doors."Festus?" Another guard called in suspicion while the rest looked around, pointing weapons.Sebastian walked through."Festus!" A guard slapped him back to consciousness.Sebastian quickened his pace, crossing the palace grounds. It was all magic, the palace and its grounds were protect

8 months later… The loud wails of a child filled the dungeon cell. "It's a girl!" The midwife announced cheerfully. Julian received his child with tears. Livia sat up weakly. "She looks just like you," Julian smiled, placing the child in her arms. The midwife smiled at them and walked out. "Tell the queen it's a girl child, she need not bother about killing the poor child," she whispered to a guard. The guard marched off. "Oh, it's enough," she cooed, entering back into the cell with a false smile, "let's have the mother and child cleaned up." Julian paced about the well furnished Brevian royal room. He felt out of place in the sparkly clean room with his dirty clothes and body. He wondered why the queen suddenly requested for them to be moved out of the dungeon. Livia was brought into the room. She was in tears. "Where is our child?" He queried the guard who brought her in, taking her into his arms. The guard fixed him with a hard glare and went back out, locking them in. "

Aurora looked around, stared at her husband then looked down at the cause of her pain.She scrambled up, Sebastian following."What are you…" he queried, watching her every move.Aurora sneezed, pushing hair off her face."We have to get out of here and save our city, our empire," she spoke, her words stumbling on each other. She shook her head and concentrated her mind on the cage surrounding them while they watched but hard as she tried, the cage wouldn't obey her."It isn't listening to me," she spoke, opening her eyes and looking back at them.Sebastian stepped forward."How's that possible?" He asked."Some things are not meant to be."The sweet musical voice had Aurora gasping in surprise. Her eyes darted around but she was no where to be found, the moon goddess."That's not the unknown," Julian whispered, pulling Livia close."Aurora," the moon goddess sighed, "I shall not say that I regret blessing you with so powerful a gift but perhaps, I could have done things in a differen

Sebastian was surprised that his new friend stayed quiet for the next one hour they spent reading his comic book together. She didn't mind that he was already way into the book."Okay, that is funny," she chuckled, "how can one punch do all that?"Somehow, during all that time, her head had somehow found its way to his shoulder with her arm as a pillow."In the world of comics and Anime? Yes, one punch can do all that," he answered, checking his wristwatch."I have to go now," he said to her, shutting the book."Oh," she gave him a bit of space. She suddenly seemed shy."Water?" He offered after taking a drink. She accepted it and drained his bottle of water."Okay," he chuckled, putting the bottle back into his back. He rose, she did too."I'll see you tomorrow," he said and turned away. She suddenly jumped in front of him and tossed herself into his arms.Startled, he staggered back, forced to clutch her lean frame."What are you doing?" He sighed, hugging her back."I suddenly miss
