His face had a stoic expression on it with dead eyes. He held his index finger to his lips and swiped his thumb on his neck, gesturing for her to keep shut or die.
Well, what a zinger. Dracula was breaching the agreement he had with her people for the sake of his own selfish reasons.
He pressed his palm harder to her lips and dragged her quietly out of the tent, into the cold night. Bats flew over them and black birds stood on the branches of the tall trees surrounding them.
At the drop of a hat, he whisked Maris away and deeper into the forest, carrying her bridal style. Maris had seen enough this season and she would give anything just to be free and normal again.
"There he is." Dick pointed at Dracula enthusiastically when he had arrived. "Tie her, she's a fighte
"Why should I trust you?" Dracula gave Egon a long skeptical look with both his eyes squinted."Because it's fact. I mean, why do you think the devil made it a forbidden place and doesn't allow us sirens and tritons, owners of the land to visit there?" Egon questioned, making a lot of sense. "Because he doesn't want anyone to get a hold of his weakness."Dracula hummed, stroking his chin lightly and thinking deep about what Egon had just said."Think about how powerful you'll be if you get a hold of the Crystal. Give us Maris and we'd take you there." Egon tried to strike a deal, but Dracula shook his head in dismay."No, I'm not letting you have Maris just like that. What if you're lying?" Dracula's brows knitted into a frown as he pierced his eyes into that of Egon's."We'll take you there ourselves then." Egon offered and Dracula gave it a long thought before accepting.They journeyed together again, chatteri
There was a pallid look on Maris' face by the time she strode deeper into the place that was dimly lit by a light, reflected from metres away.The discoloration on her face meant one thing–she was uncomfortable and something dark was lurking in this room, which pricked at her skin, causing her to swallow hard. Eyes scanning the place that looked like an ice cave, she was mesmerized amidst uneasiness.She led them, following the blue light with Dracula by her side. She could hear just how his heart was beating in anticipation."Maris." Egon called and she froze in her tracks, taking her time to glance over her shoulder. "Come, I have something to show you."Maris chanced a glance at the devil's displeased demeanor. He wore a mask of irritation as he watched Egon whisk her away to a darker path on the right."Where are you going?" Dracula and Logan asked, distaste laced in their words as they quickly shared a look of hat
It was a dark and chilly night in Sannaville and Maris was asleep, enjoying the cold breeze that caressed her skin from her wide open windows.As if summoned by some unknown force, her eyes snapped open and she sat up like a dead man with red wavy hair falling down her back. Without blinking, she kicked off her blue Hermes duvet and got to her feet.There the disembodied sound was, it sounded like chimes and many women singing 'ah' in one key. It called her and her feet moved on their own accord as if she had no control over them. Actually, she didn't because she was somewhat asleep."Into the forest... Into the forest." Soprano voices whispered in her head and she followed them to her wide open window.Maris tried to move, but the window was in her way. She climbed up the window and the breeze blew her hair in different directions.She jumped down barefooted, but couldn't feel anything because she was hypnotiz
Maris was in a deep slumber on her average sized bed as the sun smiled on planet Earth. Her face was covered in sweat and her sheets were rumpled.She struggled on the bed like she was fighting. Her head moved from left to right, hinting at a bad dream.Maris stood in the middle of some naked men with the body of half a human and half a wolf beside her. She was confused. Was she still in a nightmare? Hadn't she been saved by some blue eyed god?"Stop!" She screamed as two men clutched both her wrist and forcefully laid her on a wooden table. "Help me!"Abruptly, she inhaled a puff of smoke. It filled her lungs and made her cough. She opened her mouth to suck in a deep breath, but was stabbed in the gut by an unknown force–she screamed.That was all she needed to wake up.Maris sat up, breathing heavily and scanning the entire room. The moment she realized it was a bad dream, she heaved a sigh
Chapter 3AzelbubThunder claps filled the entire forest that was supposed to be the sacred place of the dark king, azelbub or the devil, the name people were familiar with.A black hole opened and men jumped out of it, naked once again, but this time infuriated.The last person jumped out and they bowed down to him. His brows were furrowed and his face mirrored disgust. Bushy eyebrows sat gracefully above big hazel eyes. His lips were as red as blood and hair as black as ebony.He stomped to the middle and tightened his dental bone."Whose fault was it?!" He roared and they trembled, raising their heads to view their master. "Answer me!""We-we have no-no idea, sir." A man who appeared to be in his early thirties stammered."Now our ritual has been spoilt and my butt is out there!" He bellowed. "The world shouldn't be aware of this.""Calm down, sir. What's the fuss all about when-"
Maris"Do you think I should do it?" The ginger head boy asked, twirling a basketball on his finger with his eyes glued to Maris who he had a long time crush on."What?" Maris cocked up both her brows with confusion written all over her face. She hadn't been listening to what he was saying. "Yeah. I mean, sure."She nodded her head without knowing what he had asked and picked up her coffee to sip from it, but hesitated just in case it was hot. Slowly, she kissed the coffee cup and pushed her head back. The liquid was warm and it covered her taste buds like a blanket."Okay, thank you very much." His blue eyes sparkled with a small smile playing at the corners of his lips and she returned it.She had been pondering on who the blue eyed god was. Why did he stare at her with a gaze that never faltered? She could no longer think straight as all her thoughts were consumed by him.Her stomach rumbled and she p
Dracula "Yes..." Dracula drawled, staring lustfully at a caramel skinned lady with curly brown hair. He ran his tongue over his bottom lip, rubbing his fingers together with a wicked grin etched to his face. He leaned on a tree and rested the back of his head on it with his eyes shut as he anticipated the taste of her blood. Suddenly, he peeked from behind the tree, watching as she trashed some dirt in the waste bin of the diner she worked in. Her thighs were thick and alluring, but he held himself. The mysterious woman walked back into the building and out, with a coat covering her body. Just as she walked away from the building and into the road, Dracula glanced from left to right before shoving his hands into his black coat. "Hi." He crept up on the girl and she jolted then spun to take in his features. "How are you, beautiful?" She looked at him with disgust oozing out of her skin as she had thought he was one of those useless men that wanted nothing more than to get in betw
"Put me down!" Maris exclaimed when she was free from the mini paralysis she was having with her hands still secured around the unknown person's neck. His smell was pretty familiar. He didn't stop, he kept running and taking routes Maris wasn't familiar with. She could hardly keep her eyes open because the breeze filled her eyes and made them teary. With a thumping heart, she yelled again, "Put me down!" Suddenly, he stopped and released her legs, sending her to the ground on her buttocks. She winced, shutting her eyes tight. "What the hell?" She tried to catch her breath with her back flat on the grass. "Who are you?" There was no reply, but the sound of him breathing heavily made it's way to her ears and she raised her head up to look at the mysterious person. "You!" Her eyebrows kissed each other in anger when she recognized him to be the boy who hugged her at her
