Time Warp!!...

*I don't love, princess...I fucking claim!!...*

Fuck! I was losing my mind while descending onto the Broken bridges of the Kingdom of Ruins. Every feeling seemed so raw, intense and ten times more potent. But then, could I really be surprised?
I hardly doubted it would be an emotionally smooth flight when she was in my arms. Fuck, half of me wanted to chain her to my bed and keep there for an eternity. And well, as for the other half, that was to surrender myself to her as her slave. I was utterly addicted and totally unashamed to admit it! However, trying to get her to understand this would be a task, as there are still two thorns on my side. One is the reluctant mind of hers, and the other one is a person I want to kill- Hades!
Now, as for killing the fuck-wit brother of mine, this would be a problem as I saw Proserpina's reaction when I spoke of killing him. I would rip out his heart and place it in his hands. As satisfying as it sounds, I would have to tread carefully in this regard, as she can harm herself if I kill Hades.
A roar of pain and anger resonated deep within the darkness of my shadow, Dracula, at the thought of any harm to her. He was, after all, as addicted and obsessed as I was. We would never let anything harm her, even if we had to destroy the fucking world. She was ours.
It broke my heart when I sensed the scent of Hades' seed on her. I don't know how to deal with the emotions of jealousy and possessiveness and that of care and fear that coursed through me the moment she entered my life. Those were the feelings I hadn't experienced for a long time.
To be precise, almost 600 years ago, when I saw her for the first time and the last!
I lost her then, and there is no fucking way I'm losing her again.

**Flashback**
*Six centuries past*
"Who the hell are you?" I questioned aloud to a mysterious shadow flowing through the tunnels, but then it suddenly disappeared as if it vanished into the darkness beyond. Could it really be her? Well, there was only one way to find out, I thought, walking through the jagged floor of the caves once called Temple of Mercy, but now only ruins remain, hence the name, 'Temple of Ruins.'
The entire place was huge, like it could fit a whole village. I was to retrieve a notorious witch caged down somewhere. As per the rumour, her capturers suffered a fatal curse and succumbed to an unknown illness. My mother wanted the witch so badly, so I was given this mission, but I got lost in this dismal-looking temple carved out with black rocks. And now I am trying to keep hold of the sight of a mysterious entity's back, wondering if it is really that damned witch! And more importantly, how the hell did she escape?
So, I continued to follow it through the dark tunnels. It opened into an enormous cavern that resembled the mouth of a monster. The walls and floor become more jagged. The air was thick with a deadly mist. I stepped onto something with a crackling sound. "Fuck!" I muttered at the sight of bones littered around. This place seemed to be a morgue used to dump the dead.
The mysterious entity turned, looking straight into my eyes. I could make out the body of a young girl with long raven hair and a curved frame. She was beautiful with white, pale skin and jade eyes, a perfect nose, and bloomy dark-red lips like a rose. She looked so delicate and fragile, like an innocent, scared soul trapped in this manipulative world. She had a strange scent that was hypnotizing me. My fangs extended at the smell of the dried blood on her white dress. It was her blood, the blood that strangely attracted me to her. I saw a strange tint in her eyes that seemed unusual.
"Who's this? Wait!" I commanded, but she disappeared, and once again, there was a dead silence as if this place had been undisturbed for centuries. I paused for a second, wondering if I should go any further, but then I had a mission to be taken care of. I was still determining if I could find the way out because of a never-ending labyrinth of tunnels and caves.
Long, hellish claw marks had been gouged into the rock that didn't belong to humans. Of course, no human in the right mind would dare lurk here. Then, what was that girl doing here?
I moved further towards what could have been an endless dark oblivion for how dark it looked. The deeper I go, the length of the claw marks increase, as now I can see those deep, metre-long claw marks come into sight again. They were gauged right out of the rock, making me wonder if the witch trapped down here had been powerful enough to do such damage.
I passed through another tunnel and entered a large cavern. It was a prison with all sorts of means to torture the prisoners. Chains hung down from above, and I could almost hear the echoing of them rattling as desperate hands tried to escape the blood-stained manacles that restrained them. Lethal and wicked hooks, large enough to hang whole cows from, made me back away as if the dead were still held there, limp, bloody and unmoving.
"What the?!" I muttered, looking at a cage bigger than the rest. Its door was double the size, with bars as thick as the tops of my arms and a complicated-looking mechanism that must have been a lock of some kind. It looked impenetrable with the sole purpose of trying to imprison some dangerous entity. I opened the door as an unnatural smell wafted up my nose.
"Fuck!" I couldn't help the curse slip out of my mouth as my eyes fell upon the huge skeletal remains of something. It all lay upon the floor like discarded clothes, as if the poor soul's skin and muscles got melted by some dark force, and the pile of bones fell into a heap.
Seconds later, I could feel a slight hum around me as if an unknown power was silently infecting the surrounding frigid air. I saw the orangish tint of that power concentrating and then settling over the corpse. I felt my mouth drop open, and a silent gasp escaped at the sight of the power percolating through the bones, causing the pile of bones to rise from the floor. One by one, they reconnected. The skull was the last one to slot. After this, flesh started to appear, and long fingernails grew. Then, I watched in fascination and horror at the sight of the orangish tint reshaping into a floating ghost. The moment it entered the deathly remains of the skeleton, it surged into the power. Its skull shoots up with a crack, and its mouth opens with an echoing snap of its jaw.
"Harpies in Heaven," I whispered as it shuddered and released a high-pitched screech. The entity twisted its limbs and scuttled towards me like a crab. Then, it grew in intensity as if it was gaining strength and momentum.
"Damn!" I muttered for starters, I didn't even know what this was, and my only chance of escaping was to spread my wings and fly off.
"Holy shit!" I growled as a pair of hands grabbed my feet. I instantly reacted by lashing out and jerking off, but a deafening noise echoed through the cell. The floor began to move and cracked open. I plunged into the depths beneath. I struggled to flap my wings, but the shadows swirling like phantoms grabbed my body and wings with their gnarled hands. They were the dead bodies that looked like zombies who somehow started to rise, like the mummies waking up from the dead. They had hideous faces, hallowed cheekbones, empty eye sockets and hanging jawbones. They were reaching out to me and dragging me into their world. I was constantly flipping my wings and kicking my legs, lashing out at them to get away, but those dead arms were all over me, pulling me further and further into the darkness. I was trying to fight with everything in me, but nothing seemed to be working. I closed my eyes as my body fell to its destruction. And out of all the people I have known my whole life, a stranger's face came into my subconscious.
It was the face of that girl with raven hair and a white dress.

*A face that captured the heart of the Vampire prince!!...*
