Critical
"You alright?" Lucian asked Ophelia, who is standing beside him. He can see that she is really tired.
"I am fine" Ophelia replied firmly, hiding her tiredness.
Ophelia is a sentinel of the Royal pack. Now the pack and her King needs her. She cannot show weakness in a critical situation like this.
She knows that her fellow sentinel and friend Melanie is injured. She saw Max rushing towards the hospital closely followed by King Darius and Queen Thea.
She wish, Melanie is not critically injured and should recover soon. Ophelia has an inkling of doubt about how she must have been injured. But she prayed to God, that it should not be the case.
There is no cure for the poison of a dark creature. It's one of the reasons why the dark creatures were exiled to another plane.
All the sentinels were educated on the dark creatures when all the Lords and their King realized, that they might have to deal with them one day soon.

want rushed towards the hospital and saw that Melanie is already moving restlessly on the bed.Max and Thea held her tightly to stop her.Darius immediately trapped Melanie to the bed with the thick tree roots."Darius" Thea hissed at him.Max looked at him a little puzzled."You found the cure" Max started hopefully."I did" Darius assured him."Why did you tie her up like that" Thea is emotional, looking at her friend in such a state.She is not thinking clearly. She thought Darius is making Melanie more uncomfortable like that."It's a part of her treatment," Darius told Thea patiently.Thea realized that she should have known Darius will not do anything drastic."So she can be treated?" Max looked ecstatic.Max previously gave up hope of her survival. But hearing this from King Darius made him breathe a little easier."Yes, she can be treated. But it will take 2days for her to recove
Althea Lost control
"He is still under the effects of the poison?" Darius asked the dark creature.The dark creature looked at Darius before answering."Our Lord was bitten by a master vampire, and that too he released more poison than necessary. In the early hours of being bitten, our lord was completely out of his control and was giving in to the poison. As the poison was so active, everyone whom he bit got infected as well. After we were exiled to another plane, we no longer had healthy people to eat. So we were forced to stop, as we were too repulsed to eat each other. Slowly, the effects of the poison reduced after a few years. By then, even our Lord was showing signs of being normal again. Initially, he used to show signs of infections now and then, but that too stopped after a decade. We became normal, but our bodies changed" the dark creature revealed.He pushed the sleeve of his cloak up to reveal his forearm. It is bent at a weird angle."Our arms are legs are bent lik
Althea Agreed
"We will get back to you," Darius told Odhan and they all walked a little farther away from him.When they are far away from Odhan, but still have him under their gaze, they started talking."Do any one of you trust him" Lucian asked the others?"I don't believe him. He might be cooking stories again to gain our sympathy. It is not believable at all" Lucifer agreed."But his offer to help us, it seems to be a little desperate" Darius observed."Yes, it was made after a long consideration from him. He seems to have thought long and hard to make that offer" Lucian agreed."But it might also be a trick to fool us like he did earlier. The way he effortlessly lied to us without the fear of being caught is suspicious" Lucifer said."You mean, someone else made him do it?" Lucian asked."Yes, someone whom he is scared of. Enough to lie effortlessly. I feel like, he thinks us as the lesser evils of both" Lucifer concluded."Hmm.." Darius
Althea Waiting
After the Dark creature left, they stood there looking at the place from where the dark creature's portal disappears."We will make a move then. We will meet after two days" Lucian told Darius."Why don't you stay here instead?" Darius suggested."Another two days?" Lucifer exclaimed."Yes, why not. It's not like someone is missing you back home" Darius snorted."Hey, we still have work to do" Lucian protested."Can't it wait another two days? Is it more important than this?" Darius argued."Ok" Lucian and Lucifer both agreed without further protest.In reality, Lucifer wants to spend some more time with Amber. He wouldn't mind sharing his room with her again. But he does not want to scare her again.Lucian too wants to spend time with Ophelia. He doesn't like the factor that, she dislike him so much. He wants to change her opinion of him.He never bothered about anyone's opinion before. But he wants her to think
Althea Drained
Lucifer saw Amber pacing the foyer of the Mansion. He was amused by her restless pacing.'Why is she pacing like that?' he mused inside his head.When she noticed him, she rushed forward."Lord Lucifer" Amber greeted him politely.When Amber heard about Melanie, she felt bad. She visited her in the hospital a while ago. Her condition doesn't seem to be much better.Upon enquiring, Thea informed her that she will be fine. She felt a little better after that. But looking at Melanie, who is screaming to let us out of that room, made her heart hurt for her.Amber started to like that girl recently. She is a decent person. But a thought was plaguing her since she saw Melanie.Even though she is grateful to God that Melanie will be alright, she also heard that it was Lord Lucifer who caught the first dark creature when that creature tried to kill him.She started to panic, what if Lord Lucifer was hurt? It's well past midnight
Althea Anguish
Max and Darius came near the room where Melanie was being confined. Thea was sitting there with tears streaming down her cheeks.Shouts and cries of anguish can be heard from inside the room.Max walked towards the glass window of the room and looked at Melanie who is trying her level best to free herself from the binds that were restraining her to the bed.She is crying and yelling for someone to remove them. The scene pierced Max's heart and it hurt so much.Melanie suddenly looked at him through the glass but there is no recognition in her eyes. Her facial expression changed into one of hunger.She barred her teeth and her pupils dilated. Her teeth seem to be sharper and her nails are longer than usual.She is looking at Max like he is her food and nothing else. And her struggle intensified, but to no avail.She started to scream incoherent words again.'It's the poison, not Melanie. She will get better soon' Max chanted

"They will help us, I promise" Melanie heard someone talking after she wandered for half an hour more.She slowly approached to where the voices can be heard."Have you lost your mind? Those earth beings have exiled us to our fate. How can you believe them? They are playing with us. You are the smartest one of us all? How did they managed to scam you to believe their lies?" One of the dark creature was talking.They all looked similar to her in their black cloaks. She could identify only one of them. His head is not cloaked, unlike others.Odhan, that's what she heard his name was when Lord Lucifer captured him."If you consider me as a smart one, then why don't you believe me? No one scammed me into anything. I saw everything with my own eyes. I cannot do this alone. I need your help." Odhan pleaded with his friends.He is not aware that Melanie is watching them secretly."What have they done to you. They killed all of our brethren and only

The house looks like a palace upon entering it. The cloaked figure floated directly into a big hall, which is not so well lit. At the very end of the hall is a raised platform.And on the that sits a huge throne studded with gems and diamonds, there on the throne is another cloaked figure, who is much bigger than any of the other Dark creatures Melanie has seen till then."I bought news my Lord" the cloaked figure whom she was following bowed and told to the one on the throne."Speak" the one sitting on the throne commanded with a dark high-pitched tone."Odhan became a spy for the earth beings" the one who is bowed revealed to their Lord.The Lord of the dark creatures sat there silently for a moment."Kill him" he ordered coldly.The one who is bowing raised its head in surprise."He is your son My Lord!" the bowed figure exclaimed.Melanie was surprised to hear this news.
