CHAPTER 31

"This is it. Your Master brought me here." Calla informed Ethan as they both reached the river. Calla remembered everything. Calla grabbed his hand and started pulling him towards the cliff, just like Dalton had done. Ethan didn't question her once and kept walking. He saw the end of the cliff. He looked at her but she didn't stop. She stepped upon the cloud and so did Ethan. In a flash, the whole scenery changed. Ethan looked around and found himself standing in his hometown. Calla squeezed his hand knowing the spell would be effecting him as it did to Calla the first time she visited.


"It's okay Ethan, it's just an illusion. Close your eyes tightly for a few seconds then open them again." Calla said and Ethan did as she told him. As he opened his eyes again he found himself standing into the dark forest. He took a deep breath and looked at Calla again.


"You didn't doubt me once. It was the end of the cliff?" Calla asked him with a shock visible on her face.


"Why would I? I know you and I trust you." Ethan said and kissed her cheek. Her cheeks turned pink and Ethan chuckled. They both started walking on the tracks they saw between the treeline of the dark forest.

Draco was sitting on his dining table enjoying his dinner along with his vampires. One newly turned vampire, Joey came running. He knelt on the ground and bowed his head in respect for his Master. "Now what J, you all ain't even let me eat in peace." Draco said in an annoyed tone.



"Forgive me, my Master, to disturb you again but this was urgent." Joey replied with his eyes still on the ground.


"What is it?" Draco asked.


"They are here Master. That woman along with that ancient vampire." Joey replied.


"Where?" Draco asked as he stood up from his chair.


"Into the woods my Lord. They just passed the barrier." Joey replied.


"You go back to your place. I know what I have to do next." Draco said and started climbing down the staircase of his castle. He opened the door of his basement and looked at all the witches still busy in their works. He passed through them all and went to the room into the end of the hallway. He opened the door and the witch inside bowed her head.


"What brought my Master to me? Tell me what I can do for my Master today?" The Witch asked.


"Celine, I want you to open your eyes. We have guests. I need to see them." Draco replied to the witch named Celine. The other older vampires came rushing in her room as well.


"Okay Master." Celine replied and went to the full size mirror in her room. She touched the tips of all of her fingers at the surface of the mirror and started reciting a spell. She recited the spell five times and stepped back. Draco came in front and looked into the mirror. His eyes widened and his heart started beating erratically when his eyes fell on the beauty that was walking through the dark woods. His eyes glow brightly and a smirk made its way to his red lips.


"Now I understand why Xavier kept her hidden." Draco said to himself.


"What do you mean Master?" Celine asked.


"You can not understand. None of you can. She is something I have never seen in my life." Draco said as he felt his desires awakening. Never in his life he felt this way for any woman but her. She was pure beauty.


"What do you say Celine, if I took both of them? Niece and Aunt, both of them would be mine?" Draco asked the Witch.


"My Master, you need the pure blood vampire for your long life. But if you are asking me about her, I will say no. I know nothing about this one. Everything about her is cloudy. I haven't seen her before." Celine replied and Draco turned to look at her. In a flash, he grabbed her by her neck and slammed her against the wall. He tightened his hold around her neck and she choked.


"You dare to speak more than you were asked? Don't you know what I am capable of? Don't you know that I am your Master and I can do whatever I want?" Draco roared at her. Tears started flowing freely from her eyes as her lungs started to burn because of the lack of oxygen.


"I.l… s.submit m.m..master." she submitted and he smirked. He released her neck and she fell on the ground. She gasped loudly as the air reached to her lungs.


"What is so special about her sire, that made you punish Celine? If I may ask?" Peter, one of the older vampires, asked Draco once he was back in front of the mirror.


"You don't know Pete, you'll never know what I just saw. Ethan used to have the same monster inside him a long time ago, as the one inside me. In fact the one Ethan had was ten times stronger and horrible than mine and look now, he is calm and his monster is sleeping peacefully inside him. Or maybe dead by now, I don't know. Looks like only a monster can see what's so special about her. She is something else." Draco replied with his eyes still on the mirror.


"Forgive me Master, but challenging Ethan would not be easy." Peter replied.


"You can't see what I am seeing right now, Pete. Ethan isn't strong like he used to be. I can beat him in the blink of an eye. And will claim this angle. I am sure Ethan would not mind if I would take her in front of his dead body?" Draco asked and started laughing darkly.



---------------------------------------------------------



Calla and Ethan stepped out of the forest. Ethan could sense something was wrong but he brushed off the thought. The doors of the dark castle were open, they both didn't waste any time and stepped in. They looked around and found no one. Calla frowned her brows because she was expecting people attacking them. "Something feels off with this place Ethan. I don't feel so good." Calla said and held Ethan's arm tightly.


"Of course love. Nothing could feel fine in my castle." An unknown voice they heard and turned around. Draco was standing behind them with a smirk plastered on his face. He was drooling over Calla, head to toe. Ethan pushed her behind his tall frame and glared at Draco.


"You know, you can't beat me Ethan, not like this." Draco said sarcastically. "I will kill you and then…" he added and licked his lips while his eyes were on Calla. Calla shivered when she heard him. Ethan couldn't control his anger anymore and he lunged himself at Draco. Ethan was fast but not fast enough. In an easy swing, Draco grabbed Ethan by his throat and slammed him on the ground. Calla heard a loud crack and Ethan Yelped in pain. He felt his few ribs cracked. Draco dug his claws into Ethan's throat and leaned closer.


"Now I will take her right in front of you." Draco whispered in Ethan's ear and pulled himself off of him. He turned around and Calla kneed him between his legs, as hard as she could. But it didn't affect him at all. He smirked widely and grabbed Calla by her neck. He scooped her in his arms and threw her on the table near them. He hovered over her, pinned her on the surface of the table.


"Ethan…" she screamed loudly and tried to push Draco off of her body but he was too strong for her. She freed one of her hands from his hold and scratched his cheek. He gritted his teeth as the blood pooled out of the wounds she had given him. He slapped her cheek hard and she spitted blood out of her mouth. He grabbed her hand again and started leaning in.


"Don't worry, I would love to taste your blood…" Draco said.
