Chapter 15. Danger lurks.
Damon's POV:
Where are they. I just hope for that old wolf's sake that he hasn't done anything to her.
"Damon". I turned around and saw her smiling at me, something she hadn't done ever since I'd seen her.
"You seem happy, did something happen little bunny?"
"..." She kept mute
"Where's the king?"
"He said he had some meeting with the council".
"Oh okay and..what did he say to you?"
"...". She didn't say anything, just did that lip biting thing again while looking at her feet.
"Answer..."
"Your Highness..". I was interrupted by Eli.
"What is it". I said without looking at him
"A word please". He sounded anxious, Eli's the bravest and the strongest man I got, there must be something wrong.
"Go wait for me in your room". I said to her before I walked with Eli to my office.
"There's a huge threat lurking in the kingdom".
"What do you mean?"
"Your Highness, there's been some sort of Magical threat detected...Dark Magic and.."
"And..."
"A dead body was found in the forest earlier today, we thought it was just some beast who managed to enter the kingdom but then beside the dead body was a writing, we've contacted all the sorcerers all across the kingdom but non of them seem to understand what it means but the closest we've got is a vampire because it's only a vampire that's capable of doing such a thing, your highness...I think we're at war once again"
"....".
Mira's POV:
I couldn't get my mind off of what the King said earlier, I can't do that to Damon. I won't forgive myself and even if I do, if his highness comes to find out, he won't spare me.

"Look, Damon has been working every day for the past three years to get his hands on those crystal. His main objective...no one knows, all he does is keep to himself and never listens to me and finally, he's finally gotten one the crystals but you see, I need those crystals. For the sake of my Kingdom so I'm guessing you already know where I'm heading with this.."
"You want me to steal the Crystal from Damon. But you're wrong! Damon's out there searching for those crystals to help me get back home!"
"Oh, Hahaha. You really think Damon's gonna help you get back home. My dear listen, We're werewolves and what we do to humans like you is to eat them". He said as he revealed his canines
"Damon's just keeping you for his after meal you know, his celebratory meal for when he finally gets his hands on those crystal but you see I can help you dear. I know a way we can both get what we want all you have to do is get me those crystals and I hope you know...Damon's not the only one capable of killing.. hehehehe".

How am I supposed to get that crystal from Damon, and Is he really lying to me about all this..? I was so lost in my thoughts I didn't even know when Damon came in.
"Day dreaming I see?"
"*Gasps*"
"Oh calm down little bunny, I'm not gonna hurt ya". I watched him smirk his way to my bed. I bit my lips hard that I began to taste blood, why am I all of a sudden so scared...more than usual!
"I've told you not to do that", he said with a cracked voice as he used his thumb to free my lips. Okay, did I just find is cracked voice sexy...
"Your highness, are you okay?"
"Oh, is little bunny worried about me all of a sudden.." He said stroking my cheek gently. Did my heart just skip a beat.
"Your highness"
"Hmm"
"The crystal... Do you really plan to use it to take me home?". I said as I looked him deep into his eyes to find a ny but of Lies or Falsehood but then again no form of emotion showed, it's like his body, soul and spirit were all dead!
"Of course I do. I made a promise and I intend to keep it, anything else?". Sigh- so much for finding out the truth through the old fashioned way.
I nodded a no then he got up, I don't know why but it was like..I didn't want him to leave.
"Goodnight your highness".
He simply looked at me and left. Grumpy! I yelled in my head.
"AHHHHH!!". A scream jolted me from my sleep. It came from downstairs in the garden. I ran downstairs to see what going on then I saw all the maids crying and the guards shivering at least what was left of the guards. Most of them were dead and covered in blood. Blood was everywhere, it stained the flowers the green grass.. everywhere. Who could have done such a despicable thing? Suddenly I felt the air around me getting thinner by the minute, I felt dizzy, seeing all this blood. Then all of a sudden the image of my dad's dead body kept popping up, how he was there lifeless as the blood dropped out from him, how his cold lifeless eyes were staring me right on the eyeball, how the single speck life in him finally left has a single drop of tear rolled down his cheek.
Damon's POV:
"... Your highness, we are at war once again...". Stephan's words kept replaying in my head as I stared at my cold lifeless guards.
"Your highness, look". I turned to the direction at which Levy pointed to and I saw the writing. The same writing that was found right beside Rose's father's body. It was written with their blood.
"Mira, are you okay". I heard someone say through the crowd. I looked up and saw the human struggling to breathe. Without thinking twice, I walked through the crowd and grabbed her as I watched her struggle to breathe, I carried her back to the room and poured her a glass of water to drink as I sat her on the bed. I turned to get her a tissue when...
*Shatter*. She'd thrown the cup right at my feet.
"I DON'T WANT IT!". She yelled as she broke down on tears. She balled up on the floor and continued crying as she continuously struggled to breathe. I rushed over to her and tried to get her to drink water but she shoved me unfortunately for her I wasn't going to let her get away with it this time. I grabbed her, pulled her close and gave her a tight hug. She became still for a while which made me wonder, "Did I do it wrong?". But after some minutes, her she began to cry again but this time even harder.
"They didn't deserve that...". I heard her say through the tears.
"Non of them deserved that". She said again
After some time, her breathing became even again and she fell asleep.
