Scarlett's POV: I stood there just staring at them. Their drab eyes boring into mine, taking in the supposed changes in me just like I was digesting theirs. My lips felt too heavy to move them, I was so overwhelmed with my emotions that I just stood there crying. My Mom weakly smiled, Max just giving those looks that said ' this isn't what I had expected from you'. I knew I had told him countless times that I was going to bring back our mom, I had even convinced him not to bother about it that I would find her and bring her back to him, I had promised him but I had failed. I couldn't imagine what he might be thinking about me now, Max didn't seem happy, he simply seemed sad, disappointed and remorseful but I felt pained and pitiful that he was yet to learn the truth about his Identity. How would he feel when he finds out that we aren't in any way related, that our mom wasn't our biological mother, that we were adopted. I felt all these were too much for him to handle not to talk of t
Writer's POV:The rumbling sounds of the walls and the windows came crashing at a very high volume gaining attention from the humans close by, their mouths fled down in amazement as some watched the large wings flattering through the night. None of them could get a view of who it was but in the corner of their minds, they knew it was only one person, Mr Strange. Their tiny voices echoed through as they began to run back and forth, trying to find shelter of protection for themselves. The sound of noise and clamor couldn't be ignored, it captured attention from the humans in the building as a few of them bursted into the room. Their eyes taking the blooded scene in front of them, their client was lying dead on the floor, with his blood spilling all over the place, his neck having the clear signs of canine teeth while his blood wouldn't stop gushing from his wounded neck. Ralph exhaled. The sight angering him to the core, the dead man wasn't his problem but the absence of Scarlett
Scarlett's POV:Not long after the reunion with my family, Talon had come to get me saying they both needed to rest, especially my mother. It was still a shock to me, how my boss was able to bring them both, I had wanted to ask them earlier about it but I neglected it knowing it would only bring more hurtful memories to them. Talon and I walked back into the surrounding, the warmth comforting me. " I promise to answer each questions you have Scarlett," Talon surprised me by saying. He stopped walking, coming to stand in front of me. His demeanor didn't fail to intimidate me." Micage isn't in the position to answer any of your questions now so I'd rather do the talking for him. He and I grew up together, we are step brothers so there's nothing about him that I don't know,"He isn't in the position? No wonder he didn't come with us. Talon said he'd answer all my questions, I didn't mind but would much prefer it if the boss was the one answering me." Okay," I gave him a smile which h
Writer's POV:A few years back at the Sanguine Kingdom, before the birth of the royal prince. The priest had announced his warnings to the king, advising him to get rid of the seed in the Queen's womb, he had said the unborn child was a curse...a bad omen who would bring destruction and doom to the kingdom of Sanguine. The queen, Lady Hannah didn't believe such a lie and wasn't ready to take the step of ending the life of her unborn child. However, the autocratic king of the Sanguine, Lord Ruthven had exited the presence of the priest assuring him that he would call for him if he had convinced his wife. Lady Hannah was the King's first wife, they had been married for about twelve years without her conceiving a child, at such point, the king was forced to marry another lady who could bare him a heir, he had married Lady Pandora, his second wife who had immediately conceived a child for the king and had named him Talon. The kingdom had celebrated and rejoiced, thinking they had found t
Writer's POV: It's been years already. The Sanguine Kingdom in blossom and achievement. The boys grew up together, one being loquacious and playful, the other being quiet and distant. Talon and Micage, two brothers but very different from one other. It wasn't long after the decision to keep Micage alive that Queen Pandora had passed away, the kingdom mourned her death, she used to be merciful, kind and pure. The people preferred her over Queen Hannah. Soon things went back to the way there had been. There hadn't been anything bad about Micage ever since he was born, he was simply distant and quiet but at times played with his step brother, Talon. This showed that the prophecy Vlad had made was nothing but a false statement, that was they believed and so King Ruthven had him kept in the dungeons for weeks, thirst and hunger being his companion." Are your wings out yet, brother?" Talon's little voice had eagerly yet excitedly asked his brother who was seated on a cushion, a tabl
Writer's POV: Removing the wings from his back wasn't an easy task. They knew how strong headed Talon was, he wouldn't agree to it and they knew if they should tell him the truth, somehow, the two boys may grow up to be rivals. So, they did what they thought could be the only way. After the servant girl had brought them both to the Convo, she had left the boys with their parents, Vlad and another darkling vampire who possessed the power of healing. Convo, was a place outside the palace, normally a place where punishment of high ranked vampires took place. It resembled a dungeon but was far bigger and spacious than that. Talon, Micage, King Ruthven, Queen Hannah, Vlad along with the darkling vampire whose name was Marius all gathered in the Convo. The boys wondered, gazing warily at their parents, they knew what happened in the Convo but what they didn't know was why they were brought here. Queen Hannah was first to speak, she walked towards Talon, squatting down so she could maint
Writer's POV:It was already dark, it was night but still the two vampires had refused to return home despite what they knew was going on in the kingdom, it wasn't safe for anyone any longer, especially at night that the king had pose a curfew, no vampire should be seen outside their house the moment the clock hits 8pm. Talon and Mark knew this but due to their strong headedness, they refused to leave the Glam. " You'd make a good king though, I'm sure your mother would be very proud of you,"Talon ignored his words, he wasn't king so there was nothing to be proud about. Plucking out a flower from the bunches of flowers that grew, Talon whispered; " There is something with Micage, something too different about him..."Talon was caught short by Mark’s scoff." You think Micage is the only different vampire here? Honestly, I think this is more about you than it is to him. You're...too complicated,"Talon grunted, clenching the flower into his palm, destroying its uniqueness until it sc
Writer's POV: King Ruthven maintained eye contact with Mark but broke it as soon as Micage marched into the room. Talon, however hissed annoyingly, clenching and unclenching his hand to a fist. Mark remained absolutely quiet, his gaze drafting towards Micage." Son!" King Ruthven stated, his brows curled up in confusion. Another silence intervened, Talon looked at his father, his face looking as if he was having a debate in his mind...like he didn't believe what they had told him earlier. " It was you!" Talon started, moving closer to Micage; " You in the Glam, you killed four vampires, you cannot deny it brother because we were there with you...we saw everything you did back there,"Micage rose a brow; " I see,"King Ruthven cleared his throat, tugging his hands behind his back, casually he walked towards the two. " Do you have proof for your accusations, Talon?"That was the point where Talon hesitated, he glanced back at Mark whose face depicted nothingness. " Yes," Talon answ
