Chapter 52

What better way to rattle Lucifer, than to send some of my creations to hell. He always hated the vampires. Blood suckers he would call them. But they were my creation, my army and Lucifer would pay for letting me rot in that cell. He knew I was there. Yet he did nothing to help me. so, what if I took our child. She was just a tool to him anyway. I wouldn’t let him rise from hell. I had to suffer for leaving Adam and sleeping with Lucifer. It was only fair that he had to suffer for his part and the rebellion he had started. If he’s free from hell it would only be a matter of time before he found away into the heavens and god himself only knows what he would do. Everyone knows that Lucifer as daddy issues and those problems could destroy the entire universe.

Vampires are real.
Oh my gosh.
What kind of Twilight Saga novel did I drag myself into??
The four of us teleported ourselves in the feast hall, where, as expected, five tall vampires with long slender limbs and red glowing eyes were casually lounging in our thrones, their feet up against the table as if they owned the place.
“Ah, the Morningstar siblings,” the vampire who sat in dad’s throne greeted with a sickly sweet smile as his eyes seemed to have glowed a brighter red color. “What a pleasure to see you again.”
“Why are you here Vito?” Irene demanded with a snarl.
I eyed them one by one; this Vito vampire was the tallest among the five of them, his skin a sickly pale color yet his lips and eyes were as red as a rose. His long hair stopped below his shoulders, the jet-black color of it gleaming underneath the candle-lit chandeliers in the feast hall. Two girls sat on his right. One had red curly hair and she wore a black dress underneath a red velvet cloak, and next to her was a blonde girl with almost identical features as the former, also wearing a black dress and a red velvet cloak. The redness of their lips and eyes contrasted against their also pale skin.
On the other side of Vito were two men who looked just as old as Taehyung and Yoongi. One also had long black hair and the other had a mop of brown curls on top of his sculpted face. The curly-headed vampire was the only tan-colored skin among the five of them, yet his eyes were as red as theirs.
“News travel fast, you know.” Vito simply replied as he made himself comfortable in dad’s throne. My blood ran cold the moment his eyes landed on me, his lips curving into a suggestive smile. “And you lot have something that’s ours. Well our mothers and she has sent us to retrieve what is hers.”
That was the second time I’ve heard of that similar phrase and yet it never failed to scare the wits out of me. I swallowed, hoping that vampires couldn’t sense when someone was scared.
“You rats are trespassing and you don’t have anything here that belongs to you.” Yoongi snapped at them. It was the first time I’ve seen him so pissed off having been used to his bored and laid-back expression all the time.
“Why else would we be here, stupid?” the red-headed girl retorted with a grin, her red eyes trailing from Yoongi to Taehyung’s. “Other than seeing Taehyung again, of course.”
Gross. She likes Taehyung?
I watched as Taehyung rolled his eyes at her as he kept his defensive stance. “Not a chance, sweetheart. Been there done that. Once was enough.”
“That’s sad,” the girl commented with a click of her tongue. “It would have been a really good barter; you’ll be taking me in exchange for your new sister.”
After she said this, Irene was quick to take my wrist and pull my body behind her and I quickly followed, looking away from their red glowing eyes, afraid that they could hypnotize me or get in my head just like what they did to my siblings.
“Over our dead bodies,” Irene seethed.
Vito laughed as he stood from his seat and we watched as he gracefully walked down the small platform and stood in front of the table, leaning his back against it.
“We are not leaving until we can get our hands on that girl.” Vito said, turning serious.
“Why do you want her so much, anyway?” Taehyung asked. “She’s weak. Little. You could play with much better mortals that wander the earth.”
My face scrunched up in accusation as I looked up at Taehyung who seemed oblivious at my reaction. How dare he call me weak and little in front of vampires?!
But it was kind of true anyway.
The curly-headed man laughed from his seat on Taehyung’s throne. “This isn’t about playing with mortals, Kim. It’s so much more than that.”
“Your sister is simply a requisite in a race, you see.” The man next to him added. “We get her, we receive so much more; something that we’ve wanted for centuries now. Mother will reward us well.”
“And who hosted this race might I ask?” Yoongi asked. At this point I knew that my siblings were as clueless as me. We didn’t have the slightest idea about the coven’s motives as to why they wanted me, and now here we were being invaded by vampires in our own home, having the same intentions as the witches.
“That’s remained as confidential until the host finds a winner. Lilith you idiot.” Vito replied with a shrug. As I stole a glance at him, his red eyes were already on me and goosebumps formed on my skin at his stare. My mother, my real mother had sent them. I took a step forward when Irene pulled me back. At the mention of my mother my feet seemed to move of their own accord.
“You do know we aren’t leaving until we get her, right?” the blonde haired girl asked with a grin, as if all of this was just a silly game for her.
“You jerks have the nerve to show your sorry asses in our home and think that we’d give in so easily.” Irene told them followed by a laugh. The five vampires all stared at her with serious looks on their faces, ready to fight.
“Ire cæcus!” Irene yelled as she lifted both her hands up, casting a spell on the vampires and I watched in horror when their red eyes suddenly turned pitch-black, as if their eyeballs were sucked out of its sockets. They all cried out in pain, and I gasped as Vito blindly lunged himself towards us but we were able to dodge his messy hit.
The curly-headed vampire somehow freed himself from the spell and his eyes returned to its original red color. He blinked a few times before he lunged himself at Yoongi, using the table in front of him as leverage as he flashed his fangs and attempted to bite Yoongi.
But Yoongi was faster.
Yoongi held his hand up and muttered a quick “Obstupefacio!” which caused the vampire to suddenly go limp as he fell to the ground with a hard thud, his limbs unmoving as he growled out in frustration.
The other male vampire lunged at Irene, and he caught her off-guard, the two of them toppling to the ground. The vampire easily turned Irene around and gripped her hair, pulling it to one side and revealed her exposed neck. It was only a matter of time until Irene held his throat in a choke-like manner and muttered a quiet spell, before the vampire was suddenly on the ground, coughing up blood.
