Chapter 81Walking into the Mansion with the Lord to where the sword was dropped.Beatrice picked up the sword."Are you ready?" The Lord asked, his lips raising to a smirk."I am. Are you ready as well?" She asked, a smile forming on her lips as she watched him.He nodded, picking up a plate that was on the other table."Your hand. Raise your hand Beatrice." He said, and she did as she was told.Picking up a spoon, he spooned out a little of the ash and placed it on her palm."How does it feel?" He asked, after a minute pass."It's hot... it's getting hot, so hot." She mumbled."Don't throw it. Leave it there for a while. Bear the pain." He mumbled."It hurts." Beatrice blinked, a tear leaving her eyes to rest on her cheek."So...little." The Lord whispered, raising his hand to clean the tear that left her eyes."It hurts and you're mocking me!" She glared at him.The Lord picked up the sword and placed in on her palm."Without dusting the Ashe, try to unsheathe the sword." The Lord
Chapter 1The year 1893The sun shone down brightly on the land of Nalish, drying the muddy ground and roads where carriages of the Elite rode.Although the rain had stopped a few hours ago, the sky had begun to darken and that was clear evidence that the rain was going to pour down again.A little girl could be seen picking small apples that had fallen down the tree that stood tall in the center of a huge Mansion."Beatrice darling, how many times does mummy have to tell you that picking the fallen apples is bad..do you want to be struck by lightning?" An older woman asked as she walked out of the house to see the little girl down on her knees as she picked them carefully."But mummy, the apples are fresh." "Sweetie, this is food for the dead not for the living." Her mother said, and the little girl's eyes widened."But why do we have them here mummy, if they are for the dead..they should be kept in the cemetery." The little girl said as she discarded the fruits and stood up to meet
Chapter 2"Don't run far from the wooden part Beatrice." "Don't worry Grandpa Pablo, I'm no longer a little kid." The older man sighed, as he watched her run down the lane.He was thankful to the moon goddess that she has finally gotten adjusted to the Eastern border.Although they stayed far away from humans and other creatures, it was impossible to keep her from roaming around.He smiled.She had grown to be a pretty woman, and he was proud."She's going to hurt something Uncle." He heard the other child say."You're supposed to go after your sister Mel, not say things that are not true.""She goes around hitting things and throwing things." Mel frowned and huffed."Ahhh.." They both heard a scream."Told you so."Mel ran off as quickly as she could, and when she got to the scene where the yell had come from, she glared at her cousin and huffed."Thought you were dead.""Isn't she beautiful?" Beatrice asked as she caressed the skin of the little rabbit she had caught."I'm already
Chapter 3Beatrice sat at the table, and her eyes looked around.Years ago she was part of this group, the Elites.She was still part of them, but her property was being held by the government of the land of Naslish.Sha watched Mel dance with different men.Her sister, after all, was quite a beauty and men loved her."The Party has just begun, and it seems you're tired." The voice startled her and when she turned..the person with the voice startled her the more."Milord." She gave a slight bow and stood up.Her silvery gown brushed past his leg and he took a step backward."How are you finding the party Little Beatle?" He asked, his eyes rounding the number of people in the house."Pardon me Milord, but my name is Beatrice not Beatle." She corrected with a smile.She was not little, she was a full-grown woman.At the age of Nineteen, she was already full and ready to get married.If he was not the Lord Of Viscoria, she would have banged his head on the table."How bad of me to call a
Chapter 4Beatrice sat on the chair, her eyes flickering to the fireplace.Her red eyes were pale as she blinked them severally."You're getting hotter Beatrice," Mel mumbled, placing the wet towel that was wrapped with ice on her forehead.Beatrice shivered, sighing and biting her tongue as Mel continued."I don't know why you're like this, but you better say something." Mel hissed."I feel hot.""You've been saying that for hours now dear sister, and believe me when I say I am tired." "I feel hot Mel, I'm supposed to be as Cold as ice, remember?" Mel shook her head, as she watched the older man walk into the room."Grandpa Pablo, Beatrice's temperature is getting worst," Mel said, taking a seat as she turned on the cooler.The cooler was something used by the Black Market to punish slaves that went out of the way to disobey their Mistresses and Masters."This is bad.""You shouldn't be complaining, even the humans in the black market get used to this kind of thing." Mel huffed."I
Chapter 5Hours passed and the carriage had come to a halt.Beatrice coughed.She had been awake for the past two hours but she could not move her legs due to the pain she'd experienced.Crawling close to her sister, she touched her cheek and caressed her face."Dear sister, wake up now, or else this sister of yours will leave you here." She mumbled, close to her ears and Mel frowned as if upset in her dream.Taking her small finger into her mouth, Mel nipped on the flesh, her fangs sinking into Beatrice's small finger.Beatrice's eyes widened and she tried to pull away but her sister had taken her hand into her mouth and in-between her fangs."Grilled meat." She chewed on the finger, not so hard and not so gentle too."Aye sister dear, this is Beatrice, not some grilled meat." Beatrice went down to bit her sister on the hand too."Ahhh." Mel cried out, standing up in a swift move that her head came in contact with Beatrice's nose."Ahhh." Beatrice shook her head."Why did you do that
Beatrice and Mel walked back home after the had gone to the village to find it deserted. It was strange to find the village that was once filled with wolves and few humans deserted, but then again, nothing was said to be strange in their world."Grandpa Pablo!" Mel yelled, as she ran swiftly to the old man that was gathering firewoods.They old man turned to see his two daughter's running in to his arms."Where have you two been, you've made this Grandpa of yours very sad." They man mumbled, as a tear left his eyes.Beatrice sighed and cleaned his tears."Sorry Grandpa, some men came and captured us and took us out of the village to the heart of Viscoria." Mel said, and hissed."Hmm, tell me more." He smiled, as talkative Melissa continued with her babbling. ******The long table that rested on the ground of the cold meeting room, was brownish in colour as it grey colour at the foot of the legs seemed to darken as time went by.The Lord of Viscoria, sat at the front of the table as
The dark mansion stood tall at the center of Viscoria known as the heart of Viscoria.The mansion looked dark and grey in colour and a huge Olive tree stood at the middle of the Mansion."Zane." Lord Wolfarine called, as his amber-golden eyes flickered up and down."Milord?""You had something to say, no?" The Lord asked, as he watched the clock ticked slowly."Hmm, Lady Herbert is here to see you and besides, the elders of the Town demanded a meeting." Zane said and the Lord chuckled."How jobless have you become Zane, seeing as you've neglected the important things you're suppose to do and chasing some skirt. Tell me, have you become attached to Yuan?"The Lord asked, with a smirk on his lips."Lady Yuan is like a sister to me Milord." Zane said sarcastically, as he rolled his eyes and took a seat."Hmm, sister is it?" The Lord, laughed."Stop talking rubbish Wolfarine, you and I both know that Yuan is out of my reach." "No wonder you call her a sister." The Lord nodded."You have b
