CHAPTER 4

"As She Walked...

All The Demons...

Stopped."

Annabella P.O.V

Tik-Tok! Tik-Tok!

Time is something that had never stopped for anybody, nor lords neither for slaves.

It had been 20 years since I was stuck in my castle. For me, time was passing very slowly yet quickly, and that made me love this time healer. In these past years, my powers and spells had grown much sharper and stronger than before.

Now I'm free!

Finally, Now, it was time to pay them back for what they had done years ago. They locked me inside my castle. Stupid Guardians! But it was true, this thing had always bothered me.

Why did that bit*h do this kind of spell instead of killing me? Maybe she had fewer powers!

I felt my skin tighten up as my throat felt dry. It was an indication of my hunger. I needed blood to drink and satisfy myself.

I yelled, "Josep! Where the hell is you?"

There he came running with fear. I like it when someone felt fearful of me. It made me proud of my power and stroke my huge ego more.

"Y....yes, m...my...highness!" He said, panting hard as if, he had run all the way here.

"What time is it? How dare you forget that?" I screamed as my amber eyes shined like heated lava, burning with the desire to burn him.

"Forgive me, your highness! I will bring it r...right away." He bowed before running away in a hustle.

I smirked as I walked towards my throne. I descended the black stairs and turned to the left. The door opened on its own and I stepped into the alley of darkness - My darkness. I walked straight towards the front big throne crossing the long walk-way.

A big black and gray throne enclosed with long and sharp fangs. I sat on it with a smile on my red lips. I was the one and only lord - The Queen of darkness - The Vampire Lord of the Dark World.

"Your Highness," Josep said, extending a tray with a glass full of my heaven over it. I smiled looking at its fresh color and picked the glass.

"Get our army ready to attack the guardian town," I said, sipping it. Its sharp metallic taste reached my tastebuds and gave a quick shiver to run down my whole body. I sighed in pleasure.

"Let's teach them a good lesson for once and all that, you should never mess with a Queen," I said and again took a sip.

"As you wish, My Majesty!" Josep bowed.

"Don't..." I heard a voice. I put the glass down and looked towards the source of it.

When did she come here?

Did she was sitting here all the time?

"...do that, it might be dangerous." She completed her sentence.

She was looking at something outside the window. The only big window which was here to observed the whole Dark World. She turned her face from the window to look at me.

"What do you mean?" I asked, getting up and took a short step towards her.

'It would dangerous for them, not for us, as we would surprise attacked them, without giving any chance to fight back. Besides, my warriors are enough powerful to beat anyone to death.' I thought but didn't speak.

"My mean is simple." She said and I raised my left eyebrow at this.

She titled her head before saying, "It's been 20 years, enough time to stable a kingdom. And...also, you don't know their state yet, how they have been and how much powers they have obtained? I think there must be a reason she cast a stupid spell on you. Don't you think? She knew that when you get out of this spell, you will attack them." She paused and looked at me.

"I'm sure she must have planned something big to destroy you, to finish yo..." I didn't let her complete.

'How dare she?'

I moved with the vampire speed towards her and clutched her neck with my hand. My eyes became red with fury, my veins popped up as I pushed more force on her neck.

'How dare she?'

"No. One. Can. Ever. Destroy. Me. No. One. Can. Ever. Finish. Me." I spoke each word with pressure, gritting my teeth with anger. My hold became tighter as I lifted her upward until she was dangling in the air. The pendant in her neck shined; the snake pendant.

Her face went pale as she was struggling to breathe. Her green eyes bulged out of their sockets and tears started to fell on her cheeks. But she didn't fight back to stop me, she didn't even use her powers to stop me. And that was pure stupidity.

"I'm unbeatable. You got this! Don't say that again or else!" I shrieked venomously.

'There is no way to kill me. Not a single door to reach me. Because...'

A smirk appeared on my beautiful face as I began to laugh. My laughter echoed loudly in the allay of darkness. When my anger subsided a bit, I realized that she was seconds away from death. I released her neck and she fell on the floor with a loud thud.

She coughed hard to catch her breath. Her breath was uneven, her mouth was open and she was breathing through her mouth to calm herself, her chest was rising up and down, her eyes were red and watery. Her whole appearance was trembling, with fear of death, and of course, Me.

I felt a weird anonymous feeling in my existence. Maybe... I felt... that I was just a second away to kill my blood sister - My only blood relation.

Wait..... What!!!!!

It was a very rare moment when I happened to felt something. Something like a sort of emotion, and it always happened only for her.

"Are you okay?" I asked in a straight voice.

"You are ridiculous!" She yelled, glaring at me with her red watery eyes. "You were just going to kill me."

'Yeah right, it means I'm still powerful. My spell and strength are strong enough to get anyone down.' I thought but again didn't speak.

"Thank me for giving you another life," I said as a real smile appeared on my lips on its own which I substituted with a smirk.

"Idiot! To hell with your thank!" She smiled and stood up.

"Go to hell! Just do whatever you want. I don't care." She said with a playful smile.

'How can she smile like that? I could have killed her? Yet, she was passing me a smile?'

She was just like this, never took interest in wars and anything related to the throne, but for me, the throne was everything. She just lived a life of lost identity - unknown, but for me, identity was life. We were similar but distinct.

"How come you are my sister? Are you sure you are my sister?" I asked irritatingly.

"Still searching, couldn't found anything yet," she replied with a serious face.

The next second we both burst into laughter. Our laughter was echoing in the alley of darkness. This alley of darkness had witnessed too much and there was more to come.

No matter how I behaved or treat her but I loved her. Love sounds so offensive to me but that's true. She was my sister and I love her.

Now I needed to find out something about their state, how had they been? How could I destroy them? Because it was the right time to destroy them, to end them. As a result of my some good deeds of years ago, Now.... they didn't have any Queen yet.

"Without a Queen, a kingdom is like shattered glass. Broken but sharp, they were small pieces of broken glass but when they arrived in your skin, they cut it, you feel a sharp pain. I hope you get my meaning." She said and walked out of my vision.

I called Josep, "Go and find every little and single detail about them. No mistake or else you won't be able to repeat it. UNDERSTAND?" I shrieked with anger and moved towards my throne. I sat on it confidently while manipulating her words in my mind.

She was right, a broken kingdom.

"I'll do it." He said and ran out of my vision. I exhaled and look outside the window at the black sky.

First, I need to finish her before she entered our world. I was attacking her since she was a child, a human child with no immortal powers but she always got saved by an unknown masked girl. That masked girl was a big problem than her.

Teresa thought that sending her to the human world was useful but she ignored me, she ignored my powers, not a sane thing to do.

But who could be that masked girl? Who always happened to appear just to save her then disappeared?

I didn't get out from here during the past years but I did my very best to finished her but, Fuck! I curse remembering how she always got saved by someone. A person with a mask. A savior with a hidden identity.

I swore to myself that whenever I will find that savior, I will kill her savior before her. I smirked at my evil plans.

'They both will die by my hands.

Soon or later.

That's their destiny.

Written by me.'

I laughed loudly at my thoughts.
