CHAPTER-7 REALIZATION

After being thrown out from his room, the woman, he called by the name Moira grab my arm and lead me to the end of the patio at the same level where that King Theo is staying.

Standing in front of the door of the last room, I saw Moira fish out a key in the side of her jeans and dig it inside the keyhole.

One twist of the key and the door was open.

She grabs me again and pull me inside.

"Stay here while I'm fetching the oracle, make a bad move, and she will pay for your mistake." Moira's cold voice was no different from her master. She gave me one last warning look before shutting the door in front of me.

I am left in awe.

Ohh, that damn bitch..!

I have this feeling that I want to snap her head off her body! But that's for later I need to check this place.

I turn around, scanning the surrounding. I was surprised that it was huge in the inside.

Though there's no light, I can see clearly with my vampire vision. The room has one huge bed, a center table on the right side near the window that was adorned with a thick fabric covering the room from the light illuminating outside coming from the moon and in the corner near the in suit-bathroom has a tall, thick wooden cabinet.

The room doesn't have much stuff inside, only those necessary things a person needs.

But for me, I don't care.

I start pacing back and fort cracking my brain for a possible chance that Martha and I can escape.

Remembering something, she thought, Did that vixen just left the room close and not lock it?

I quickly walk back to the door to check on it.

Twisting the doorknob, I was shocked that it wasn't locked from the outside.

My hand is itching to open the door and sprint my way out, but as much as I want to escape, I couldn't.

Moira's voice echoed in my head, "make a bad movie, and she will pay for your mistake..!"

No.

I can't risk her life!

She gave her blood don't can survive Martha sacrifice herself for me to live.

Though I find it strange that I can drink her blood without dying or being poison as vampire to vampire can't feed with each other's blood, we can only drink human or animal blood.

Somehow I know deep inside myself that I can't leave this place until that Vampire King answers all my questions.

I waited for them to come, while my eyes scan the surrounding, looking for the switch light,

A smile creeps on my face when I found it, I quickly walk to there and turn it on.

With the light switch on, I can see with colors before everything was only in gray.

Remembering my current predicament, I recalled those painful memories flashing through my mind.

When I remembered my dad's motionless body and my husband's bloody form, makes me mad and hopeless at the same time.

I wish I could do something for them, but I can't.

I was like a puppet bending my head on the side, allowing that creature to mark me as his...!

A creaking sound of the door opening made me snap out of my reverie.

I saw Moira pulled Martha inside the room.

What is wrong with this woman and her brute force? It's not like we can fight her back.

Wild vixen?!

" The two of you take a good shower! You both stink like hell!" she sneered before retreating to the door.

I wanted to talk back because all they ever say is I stink like my mate, and I smell like hell because I came from the demon world.

So what?!

My husband is a demon prince, and, typically, our scent will blend with each other's body. That's why there's this mate thing.

I thought the vixen would finally leave, but she stops on track and turn around to face us again.

"I'll be coming back later, the two of you must be ready by then, Lord Theo wants the both of you to join him in his supper." She gave us a warning look not to do something stupid before she reached for the doorknob and exited the room.

I heave a sigh of relief.

Finally that Moira is out of sight. I know I can fight her back with equal strength she have. I only need to regain my strength but I don't want to take a risk.

My unborn child is more important to me.

Besides for a vampire woman, she surely is a strong one I remember that time in the cathedral when I saw her fight with Marcus. She fights him without reserve.

She was giving her best like she want to prove something,

But to who?

To that, Lord Theo?

She must have a big respect to glorify him like a God.

And about that godly king.

I rarely hear a vampire having a late-night meal I wonder what kind of supper he will present to us?

I felt Martha's hand reach for my arm, snapping me out of my deep thought.

"Lets took a shower Maricella, would you like to go first?" she asked me with a smile.

I can't understand how can she be this calm and obedient, knowing this vampire captured us.

Sensing what I think, she smiled again to me.

"He's our creator, The last pure-blooded Vampire king. Without him, there's no you and me, and there's no vampire in the world. If he dies, we all die, so I'm still thankful because of him.

I think if I'm just an ordinary human being, I cant survive seeing my family die in sickness or accident or can't be with them for a very long long time.

You know Maricella, when you love your family, you don't want to be separated from them, so I guess its all thanks to Lord Theo for granting us that immortality." she smiled apologetically before looking inside the cabinet.

"Look Maricella there's plenty of clothes in here, come take a look maybe you can choose something on your liking." She said, changing the topic.

I walk and stop next to her to see the cabinet is indeed full of different clothes and necessities for a woman's need.

"So how's your meeting with Lord Theo, Maricella?" Martha looks very curious. I can sense her urge to asked about it even from before, but still, she kept her mouth shut and waited until both of us had a shower. We are currently lying in bed, thankful for its softness.

I sit in a sitting position facing her, and she did the same.

Meeting each other's eyes, I said to her.

"His the most heartless vampire I ever encounter in my entire life on earth...! I don't care if he's the reason why we exist! I hate him for hurting my father, and I hate him more for un bonding me with my real mate! He can ask for my help more pleasantly or talk to me about his current situation, if he needs my blood so he can walk freely in broad daylight I will definitely help him but now I hate the fact that I still need to help him even though I felt my stomach is churning   from the hatred I'm feeling for him right now" I said to her with pure hatred lace in my voice.

Martha looked shocked. She bent down her head, feeling defeated in front of me. I felt terrible that she need to absorb all the negativity coming out of my mouth, but what can I say?!

I'm furious whenever I remember that vampire king!

Not wanting Martha to feel more bad about herself, I reach for her hand press it gently.

I am more careful not to inflict pain on her knowing that I possess now a strength ten times stronger than any vampire after forcefully being mark by that King Theo.

Forcing a smile, I said to her

" Please forgive me, Martha. I know its not your fault, and I shouldn't let out my anger to you. It's just that I cant be so silent obeying orders to the person who commit so much mistake to my family and me. I wish you can understand why I'm acting like this." I sincerely apologize to her. She turn her head on both sides a few times.

"No, Maricella, forgive me too. I'm a useless Oracle for not seeing all of this, please believe me that if I only knew about this thing from before I will not hesitate to let you know,but now where here stuck in this place I had a little glimpse  of what's outside when that woman came upstairs to pick me up and bring me here. It is hopeless to run away. If you're thinking of doing so, please consider the safety of your unborn child," she reaches for my both hand, pressing them gently. The look of genuine concern was evident on her face.

Curious of what's outside, I asked her..

"Why, Martha? What's so dangerous outside? You said, that King channel some of his strength and power to me? doesn't that mean that I am more stronger and powerful than the guards  outside?" I'm confused and curious about what's really outside this castle.

I also wonder how she does know a lot.

I thought an oracle could only predict the future.

"Its filled with black magic Maricella, This kind of magic that been cast outside was made for demon not to see this place and make them not to try to go in.

They put a lot of trap that can kill a demon if they were trapped inside or step on it.

Don't underestimate Lord Theo's connection.

Though you are married to a Demon Prince who is the most powerful in the demon world, here in the earthly realm, Lord Theo is one of the most powerful vampires in our race. If I'm correct, there's only four powerful immortal that I know, one is our king, the next one is the king of all wolves, the third one is the great wizard of all and the fourth one are the families of blue blood fairy.

The only way that we can walk out the door without dying is for Lord Theo to released us freely. I wish my gut feeling is right this time, but I can sense that we will be free. Let's hope the mate bond won't attract the sleeping desire of Lord Theo of having his mate..."

"No!that won't happen, Martha! I won't let it!" I quickly said to her, not liking the idea of me being the real mate of that King Theo.

"There's no precise thing that I can assure you, Maricella, I can be wrong, and things might change rapidly let us just hope for the best." She's right. There's nothing that can assure us at this moment, and maybe things can still change, so hoping is still possible, and I hope for Dalton to be here soon. I miss him so much.

Not being with him feeling his warm touch on my skin, those passionate kisses we always shared made me an empty shell.

I need him in my life.

Mate or not, his the one for me, and that is for sure.

My body can defy me, but my heart belongs to one demon.

Dalton is the only one that can fill the gap in my heart and no one else..!

A knock on the door snapped me out of my reverie.

"It is time; Lord Theo wishes to see you both in the Comedor," Moira announce, stepping inside the room.
