Chapter-6 His Legend

When Martha seated again next to me, she started explaining about what's really happening in my life now.

"It was an old story my grandmother told me when I was young, a story about a mighty mortal who got a hold of the book of knowledge.

This book of knowledge is a work of Adam and Eve.

After being thrown away from the garden of Eden for eating the forbidden fruit, they possess the knowledge no one else has.

In order for them not to forget everything, they written all their knowledge in that book.

There are rumor before that if you possess the book of knowledge, you will earn immortality, so this man studied the book after he learned the secrets of the immortality he summoned nine of his friends to tag along with him.

Sacrificing the life of ten virgin women, they become the first human nightwalkers.

They spread this immortality, and so we are here mingling with humans alive but will never die.

But there's a fault in that ritual because not like us who can walk on the broad daylight without burning or turning into ashes. The first nightwalkers can't see the sunlight or walk in the daytime.

Though he possessed that book of knowledge, it was never written in that book how to walk in the daylight without dying.

He spends hundreds of years searching for an answer he summoned all of the old witches and those other immortals who possess the ability to predict the future.

One of the precise oracle is my grandmother. She predicted that there would be a hybrid kind of us that can cure him.

A hybrid who will give him full immortality and can help him walk again in broad daylight." Martha took a deep breath before continuing her story.

" If I am not wrong, I think that vampire is you, Maricella. I don't know if you're the real cure, but now we are captured by them.

They detained us in this place for about a week.

They didn't even provide us food or water.

I don't know what will happen to us" Martha looks so desperate and I feel so sorry that I accidentally hurt her. My muddled head is still confused, and I thought she's with them. My protective instinct is hastened, and I guess I have to be very careful of my movement.

My strand of thoughts was interrupted when Martha started talking again.

"I might look weak, but that's not because I lack of food but because you have been sleeping for a week, and I'd been feeding you with my blood" What Martha said made my mouth fell open from surprise and disbelief.

I quickly touch my teeth if there's a sharp fang, and she was right.

Now I am a pure breed of vampire that has to sustain blood to survive.

I can't help the churning feeling coming in my gut, realizing I'm a bloodsucker too!

"No! It can't be?! All of this is just a fucking nightmare! Martha, please tell me this isn't true?! I can't accept it

All of this is unreal!

That guy.

He's the one to be blamed!

Why me?!

How can he do this to me?!

First, he hurt my love ones and force his mark on me.

Then he un-bond me with my real mate!

He's not yet even satisfied. Now he made me a fully pledged-vampire-sucking blood!

Wait...?!

How about my baby?!

I have to know if it's not gonna be affected by the changes in my body, Martha, tell me?!"I started to panic. My baby is the only things that still connecting me and Dalton. I can't bare losing my unborn child too!

If this tragic thing happens, it will be too much for me!

I'd rather die.

My strands of thought is interrupted when I felt, Martha's hand on my shoulder..

She looks sad at me.

"I'm sorry Maricella, I don't know anything, not a prediction nor a hint of what will happen to us.

But don't lose hope if ever you can have a chance to talk with Lord Theo maybe we can know more " Our talk was interrupted when we heard a churning sound of a key being jolted inside the keyhole.

Then the creaking sound of the door came after.

The woman that came with that guy Theo in the cathedral was standing now at the door.

"Lord Theo wishes to see you.." She looked at me with her face void of emotion.

My heart starts to beat faster,

I felt scared knowing I'll see the nightmare of my life again. My last experience with him didn't end well because he hypnotized and claim me as his!

But I have plenty of questions in my mind that needed an answer, and only he can give it to me.

So I went out of the bed staggering from weeks with no movement, but the woman quickly held me up and supported my arms so I can stand and walk.

I gave Martha one last glance, afraid to go alone.

Martha nods her head with a hopeful smile conveying a message that maybe, just maybe, everything will come alright.

I'll hold on to that small hope in my heart, besides what's else a hopeless soul can do?

When she halt my arms to fallow her quickly, I felt the need to smack this vixens face.

Gosh..

Can't she see I'm still weak to walk faster?!

While I'm following her lead, I made sure to observe the place, making sure I won't miss a spot that maybe we can use to escape if there's given a chance.

I followed her down the stairs, which means I stay in the higher level of what it looks like a castle in my eyes.

The windows have thick grills preventing anyone from escaping if they tried to.

When we stop on the second stage of what seems like round stairs for going down, she halts me to the first room that came in my view and pulled me roughly inside.

Damn woman?!

The room was dark, but as a vampire, I can see everything, even in the darkness. My eyes wandered around, observing my surroundings.

The room has a king-size bed, big window glass with a thick fabric of curtain that shielded the room from the moonlight.

The woman who brought me in the room bow her head before she turn around, shutting the door behind me.

Fuck?!

She just left me?!

I felt the cold chill run through my veins when I saw those gray eyes lurking on me in the darkness.

When he left the shadow of darkness, I saw his wearing casual clothes with a shirt and faded jeans.

"I see that you're awake I prinkípissá mou, do you like the little gift that I gave to you?" He asked in his deep husky voice while walking towards me.

I made a few steps backward. I felt scared, not knowing what is running inside his mind and what he might do to me and the sad reality of how my body will react to him.

"What do you mean about the gift?

Ahh

That gift of becoming a pure breed vampire who sucks blood to live?!

You think I'd like that?!"

I asked him sarcastically.

But what I said made his face dim and his eyes glistening in red. In one blink, he was behind me, grasping my throat, bending it on the side.

It's the place were he marked me, and now it's once again exposed!

My heart is beating so fast, making me heave a breath.

"Do you know what I hate the most? I hate those ungrateful immortals that can't say thank you to his creator or be thankful for what they have and what they receive don't forget who owns you now...!"

he said menacingly before licking the place where he marks me.

I had to bite my inside cheeks to suppress a moan that wanted to come out of my throat.

Even though I have full control over my mind, but my body is responding in the opposite! I can't deny the fact that he can make my body response to what he did.

I felt my stomach churn. I hate that my body is liking what that Vampire King is doing to me, lucky my brain and heart are still in sync.

Afraid of losing control, I quickly move away, Facing him, I made sure we had enough distance between us.

"What do you want from me?! If you need me because I can help you to walk in the daylight, let's do this thing already!

I won't fight you, but please promise me that after everything is done, you will let me go.

You know I can't stay here for long.

I need to go back to those immortals you beaten up for fucking sake!"

I yelled at him in frustration.

I heard him hissed menacingly. Then in one blink, my wrist was locked by his strong hands, gripping it tighter before bringing me to his bed.

His on top of me, While my both hand are above my head.

I was locked and hopeless.

I stared In horror to his cold silver eyes.

He bent down, snipping my hair down to my neck and up to my cheeks, making our skin touch each other..

Sending chill to my body, then he said these words to me.

"I don't take orders from anyone. I am your Lord, your creator. If I want your love once and every vampire in this mortal realm to die, all I need to do is to walk in broad daylight, and all of us will die.

Now, you will listen to me if you still want to live. I prinkípissá mou, don't push me to my tiny limits because I'm ruthless and cold to feel your suffering." those sneered sound made me trembled.

In one blink, he was out of the bed and was now standing in the window.

"Moira! Bring her back to her chamber!" He yells, and the door instantly open, revealing the vixens woman.

So her name is Moira. I'll remember that name.

"Yes, my Lord.." She quickly obey, halting me out of bed.

"Bring them food and clothing. Make sure that she take a good shower! She still smells like him.." He said in disgust that makes me mad, but I felt Moira halt me staring at me with a warning look.

Letting me know, I will regret it if I say anything.
