Something went gravely wrong!!!

"Isn't it cruel to ignore one's presence when he has been away for so very long?" someone said when Queen Celia was staring at the magical fountain. She turned to see the origin of the voice and was very happy to see the familiar figure. She got so excited she ran to hug the person.

"Brother Embrose!!!! You are back" Queen Celia said in a jovial voice.

"What were you thinking while staring the fountain?" Embrose asked her beloved younger sister.

"Would you believe me if I would say I was thinking about you?" Celia played with her brother.

"Absolutely not!!! And if it is true than it must be mischievous" Embrose chuckled.

"You think so highly of me brother" Celia said with a scornful smile.

"Why not? After all you are queen of this mystic land. And a good one but sometimes even you handle some matters lightly when they should have your proper attention" Embrose teased Celia.

"Did I do something out of your interest?" Celia asked her brother.

"I don't know. Did you?" Embrose questioned back Celia.

"Talking about mischievous, you must already now Loki visited the island" Celia asked Embrose as well as informed him.

"I do" Embrose huffed.

"And I must tell you that I have decided to seek his help in some concerns which I have been dealing with so very long" Celia told Embrose.

"Then I will tell you that you would be stupid enough to even think of trusting him ever. He is called the God of Mischievous for God sake. His name and his position define him" Embrose warned Celia.

"I know brother that he is not a man to be trusted blindly but then no one really is. You yourself taught me" Celia was in acceptance of Embrose worries.

"Yes, but not him. He is known for his deceiving nature. It's his nature Celia. And what is it that you want so very bad to even accept his help after knowing everything about him, his nature, his position. He is infamous in world, folks and culture for that. What does he get from this harmony he is providing from us?" Embrose wondered.

"I know what he wants. He wants adventure. He is the man of disorder and chaos" Celia told Embrose

But what does he will be getting from us?" Embrose said in wonder. He could not understand what they could offer someone who is already a God and nearly has everything to begin with.

"He will tell us when he decides in the future" Celia was clearly not pleased breaking this piece of information to her brother as she knew he is not going to like it.

"And you accepted such an agreement. Why would you? How? Either you are acting out of your boredom or you are so desperate to accept any… Oh my God you are desperate, aren't you?" Embrose was very worried for the realm, kingdom, his people and especially for her sister.

"Why are you so shocked? You know what's going on from such a very long time. Desperate times call for desperate measures" Celia was frustrated not because of Embrose questions but because of her stand in such a difficult times.

"What's going on?" Embrose questioned Celia.

"Kale witches cannot perform magic outside this realm and this is causing a trouble for them. They cannot protect themselves. We need magical portion" Celia told Embrose.

"Magical portion!!! You have whole fountain of magical portion for that, use it" Embrose shouted.

"That portion cannot be taken outside this realm and you know that" Celia retorted.

"Keep them here" Embrose suggested.

"Be practical, brother" Celia smiled and looked at her brother who appeared very displeased from these arrangements.

"I AM BEING PRACTICAL!!!! And witches have lost their power to defend because of their own decisions. It has nothing to do with us" Embrose was in denial.

"It has everything to do with us. I am not talking about other witches but just Kales. I am left with no other option when Kale witches are concerned" Celia reminded Embrose.

"Because you might need them when time will come" Embrose questioned Celia.

"I will need them when time will come brother, and time will be in my favor" Celia answered.

"You have waited for so long for that time. Aren't you tired?" Embrose asked.

"Not a bit Brother Embrose. You would not understand that with each passing moment have made me more and more prepare for my destiny and I shall have it" Celia said.

"You are too ambitious" Embrose said.

"I am Queen Celia; ambition is what expected from me" Celia proudly accepted.

"But involving in wars like these might cause some trouble for us. Some consequences" Embrose warned Celia.

"There are always consequences in war but only cowards are afraid of them and I am no coward but I am no fool too to get myself involve in such unimportant matters like these. Our bargain is just over side line, we would not need to get involve at all" said Celia.

"I wish your every word to be true sister but I am afraid your reputation does not support your claims" Embrose said in a mocking fashion.

"What does that mean?" Celia raised one of her eyebrow in question.

"Whenever any war is evident within your reach, you rarely can resist it" Embrose said while leaving Celia near the magical fountain.

Sophia's POV

I am much tensed for success of my plan. Too much had happened, too much is happening and the things I want to happen are not happening at all. I was wondering when the news will break from inside that Diana is missing or escaped or anything. I was watching sheriff station from a distance when it went dark. It looked like a power failure. That's not convenient. Is it a coincidence? It should not be intentional. It has to be a coincidence. Right?

I myself got startled when I heard screams coming out of police station. My plan did not include any body to get hurt so why were their screams. Diana just had to use Babylon candle when she is alone there. I expected loud voices and noises but not screaming. I was waiting in the car for Diana but she did not come. Whole police was stirred with some occurrence I might or might not aware of. If it is Diana so why she has not come out till now or is it something else? Oh no God, what now? Should I check inside? Or wait here? Or leave before someone see me or get alarmed? What should I do? I was wondering what to do when I heard someone knocking on my car widow. I got alarmed and looked for the person. It was Pattrick. Officer Pattrick!!!! Perfect!!!! Just perfect!!!! That's what I needed. Maybe now I will know what is exactly going on in there? I lowered my car window glass shield and Pattrick leaned towards me to check inside. Maybe for Diana!!!! Has she really escaped?

"Any problem Officer?" I tried to talk normally as much as I could.

"What are you doing here in these hours?" Officer Pattrick was not as pleasant as he always is with me and I wondered what could be the reason for that.

"You think it's too late for a girl like me to go out. I did not expect that from you" I said.

"It's not safe for anyone to go out when there is midnight and the moon is at its peak especially when you are in Mysticburgh" Officer Pattrick warned me and I knew exactly what he was saying. It was full moon night and werewolves grow more powerful, vicious and out of control under it and it's better to never come across a werewolf when it's a full moon over your head.

"I was just passing and then I had a moment of nostalgia thinking about Diana. That's all" I tried explaining myself to Officer Pattrick but his piercing doubtful eyes made me go on with the best story I could think of. I continued by saying more "And then I saw that darkness, too much darkness in the sheriff station and I was wondering about it when you came knocking on my window"

"I think you should relax now" said Officer Pattrick.

"I am sorry" I wondered what Officer Pattrick meant.

"I bought your story. You can relax" Officer Pattrick said while making a very serious face. "Haha… I was just pulling your leg" Officer Pattrick chuckled clearly amused by his joke but it was not funny for me at all.

"What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be inside the station?" I questioned Officer Pattrick.

"I went for patrolling and just returned when I saw your car parked here. So I came for checking is everything alright?" Officer Pattrick told me.

"Yes, of course. Everything is perfect" I answered.

"Except Diana" Officer Pattrick said and I was not sure if he was testing me or mocking me.

Someone came running towards us and said to Pattrick "Sir, please come inside, something happened"

Upon hearing that Pattrick and I ran inside the sheriff station where two of the officers were laying dead and the prison cells were wide open. It seemed like not only Diana but everyone arrested or detained at the station escaped. But how? Why?

"Sir, this man has weak pulse" one of the Deputies said while holding the hand of the officer lying on the floor

"Take him to the hospital, don't wait for ambulance" Pattrick instructed the fellow Deputy.

"Where is sheriff?" I asked although I knew it was the full moon he cannot be around at such time, no werewolf can so everybody in the station has to be human. That's why it was the perfect opportunity to escape for Diana. But clearly it was also a good opportunity for someone else that made a full advantage out of it and something went very wrong like gravely wrong.

"We have called him, he should be shortly here" Deputy said.

"How does that happen?" I asked gain wondering if anyone saw someone or something, anything.

"We do not know. Everything went dark and then chaos happened. There were some whispers and voices but nothing makes sense and then we heard a scream and then realized that all the prisoners have escaped" another Deputy answered.

"Someone checks for the light fast" Officer Pattrick ordered someone to check the light.

The light was repaired after few minutes and everything could be seen more clearly now. There was such a mess around the station. Nothing was in its place. It was both confusing and disturbing sight. Two officers were injured and one of them was dead and other one on the edge of it. Who attacked them? Who did this? There was no blood spill so how were they attacked exactly?

"Sir, have a look at this" an officer said in panic while checking for the vitals over the dead body of an officer lying down.

Everybody on the station moved towards the officer dead body lying lifeless on the floor. Another officer made his head tilt and the cause of his death was clearly visible. There were two marks of insertion near the neck through which blood was oozing out but not much. The mark of insertion goes deep but still the wound did not cause much blood loss. This could give single explanation that the dead man does not have blood in his veins to come out from the wound. It must be a tragedy caused by the hands of a vicious blood sucker and the mark on the dead man body came from nothing but a vampire bite.

A vampire in the Mysticburgh!!!!!
