Chapter 28

On a sunny beautiful day in the year 1520, Nina was inside the King Henry VIII castle as she was invited to a special soiree held by his majesty. She wore a beautiful white dress made of expensive fabrics fit for a princess, a brooch and a tiara. She looked like a princess and the royal house presented her as one, a princess of Salona while Hawaii was known to be his brother and both were titled Prince and Princess of Salona who had to fled their kingdom after their uncle killed their father and took out the throne. They never really revealed the geography of their kingdom but they managed to fool the whole England of their originality.

Well that's the story Nina and Hawaii spread all over England just to maintain their status even if for a short while knowing fully they'll have to leave before people suspect that they weren't growing old. They compelled masons to build two huge castles for them in a far land just close to Scotland's highlands. They had almost ten thousands acres all to themselves and they named the area "Salona Tribe" and for generations to come the people who lived around the area came to be known as Salona Tribe.

The ball room of the Hampton Court Palace was filled with every leisure a person could desire. Fine wine, delicious food, women adorned in beautiful dresses and music. Nina stood side by side with Hawaii overlooking the guests and their fine fabrics as they danced and conversed.

"Your highness you look rather magnificent tonight" said a man who was amongst the guests of the soiree.

"Thank you my lord"

"May I have this dance?" He asked and Nina looked at Hawaii then she joined the man on the dance floor.

The dance floor was filled with Lords, Dukes and all the higher ranking people soothing their souls to such relaxing tones.

Nina and the mysterious man hold hands as they danced side to side, he was charming and carried such a big smile. "You are such a runner..." He said.

"What do you mean?"

"First a ranch owner in 1350s, to a merchants exporting gold and silver in the 1400s to now...a princess of Salona"

Nina jerked back suddenly, but the man pulled her back so as to avoid any further questions amongst the guests. "Who are you?" Nina asked trembling with fear.

"I'm just a vampire your highness, like you."

"Did someone sent you to spy on us?"

"You do recall your husband, don't you?"

"Antonio..."

"Indeed your highness. He sent me to kill you but I never liked the idea of killing a woman, I worship beauty and you my lady you are a beauty. Helen of Troy"

"What do you want?"

"To help you, I can tell you ways to put an end to his indiscretions. I know a weapon that can stop him"

Nina paid attention to him, she even stopped the dance and pulled him further away from the ball room. Hawaii followed them behind to a more descret place of the castle. They got inside the room and locked it.

"What is it?" Hawaii asked them.

"This vampire knows ways to stop Antonio" Nina said to him and then she grabbed her attention to the mystery vampire she had just met.

"Speak up!" Hawaii said to him.

"Well, first of all the most important name is Nazar"

"Nazar? The big bad vampire wolf put down by Salem witches? We all know him that's not new. His tales has been passed down through generations of vampires"

"You'd be surprised how that will help you in chasing off Antonio. With him awake, you will be free of him"

"Why?" Nina asked and the vampire just smiled at them "I could have killed you, I had numerous chances to but I choose to help you. Find ways to wake Nazar" He said and walked away leaving Nina and Hawaii stunned with his mysterious findings.

From there Nina started writing and drawing a false folklore tale about Nazar and had it distributed to almost every vampire she came through. She moved from cities to cities spreading the word, that once Nazar awakes then the whole vampire race will be purified and those who craved to be humans again dug deep into witches grimoire and everything they could find to wake the big bad wolf. In the meantime those who still had wishes to remain vampires worked closely to stop the others who intended to wake him.

***************

After Regina was out of sight, Antonio fixed his shirt and his hair then walked inside the bar where Nina and Alice were the only ones remaining after Hawaii took off. He went straight to where they were sitting, and ordered a drink.

"You!" Alice said after seeing Antonio "You tried to kill me"

"Well well well, what a coincidence"

"What do you want Antonio?" Nina asked.

"I just came to have a drink"

"The seat's taken"

"I don't see anyone here"

"They will come back you better leave"

Antonio paid attention to the map which was on the table and he took it. "Interesting...who made this?"

"It's none of your business"

"Okay" He said and placed it down, then drank his beer. "So, Alice what do you plan on taking?"

"I beg your pardon?"

"In college, what's your dreams?"

Alice seemed confused by all the questions from a man that just tried to kill her few months ago. She took out her things and barged outside.

"Did I say something wrong?"

"Just...leave us"

"Princess of Salona..." He said and as he expected Nina stared at him. "What?" She asked.

"Isn't that your title?"

"How did...you know?"

"Oh come on mi amore. I knew everything about you, do you remember that night on the hall of King Henry VIII?"

"In 1520?"

"Indeed you were glittering in your white satin and tiara as if a bride waiting to be swept of your feet" He said and giggled at the end "I was there too, in the ball room"

"No way..."

"I wouldn't lie"

"Wait I remember that night, a certain vampire came to me with an idea of waking up Nazar"

"He was my vampire, Roberto he was called. I fed him all the important words to say to you and he managed to finally convise you. In the next decade it was a rampage of vampires and witches desperately trying to find ways to wake up my brother"

"You sent him?"

"The man worked for me"

"He had me writing these false folklore and tales..."

They laughed it off with drinks on their hands. It seemed stories of the past brought up some good memories between them. They talked and talked till late, and Antonio admitted to be in every occasion that Nina was in but never attempted to do anything to harm her and only if she had slowed down all those years perhaps they would've catch up sooner than later.

"Okay, I'm going home. It was nice catching up" said Nina packing up her things and when she stood up so did Antonio. "Goodnight"

"Goodnight..."

Nina walked slowly outside of the bar as Antonio's eyes escorted her filled with deep yearning for her even though it had felt like too much water had passed under the bridge for that. Nazar was sitting close to where his brother was and the whole time he eavesdrop and hang on to every conversation he had with Nina.

"My word" He said and Antonio turned to his side and saw his brother. He wasn't expecting it "The perfect display of true love. I must admit Romeo and Juliet have been re-borned"

"Nazar..."

"Anthony or should I say it with an Italian accent. Antonio..."

"Quit making jokes"

"What's the world without jokes brother, loosen up"

Nazar got up, passed his brother where he stood and walked to the bartender. Then he whispered some words into her, and the bartender walked outside.

"What are you doing?" Asked Antonio.

"Nothing, you see my army of wolves have fetched the leaf for me. I have the tombstone and the witches, Lunara's descendant is just a stone away. I will soon be what you prevented me to be, a wolf and I promise you Antonio she will be the first vampire I bit" Nazar said straight to Antonio's face and then walked outside of the bar, he picked up the bartender and they were on their way to his stomp ground.

Amiya and Simon reached the house which Amiya thought perhaps her granny would be at to find it empty and with no one. There were signs however that she might have at least passed there few days a go because there was left overs in the fridge which wasn't turned off. It was midnight and they were all tired from the road trip.

"I could use a shower" said Simon while they were sitting on the living room eating dinner which they had picked on their way there. He looked exhausted and possibly dozing off.

"Yeah sure"

"Is there a bathroom?"

"Yes, I...come on let me show you it's inside her room"

"There's only one room?" Simon asked and she nodded.

He knew that was the perfect time to take advantage of the in love Amiya who was blushing and possibly waiting for him to make the first move. He got up from the couch and then took off his shirt as Amiya watched and savored every part of his manhood.

"Will you join me?" He asked.

"I...I...do"

"It's alright. We can take it slow"

He walked to the room and closed the door. Amiya was left winning and not knowing what to do, but there was always someone she can ask without feeling ashamed. And that was Nina so she called her.

"Hey stranger" Nina said when she picked up.

"Hey"

"Are you alright? Haven't heard from you the whole day"

"I came to find my granny but I missed her..."

"She's not your real grandma Amiya. What she did to you was not good and you shouldn't be worried about her"

"I'm not worried about her...it's just I'm with someone"

"What?"

"A man"

"You have a man inside your granny's house?"

"Shshsh keep it down"

"Who is it and why you never told us about him?"

"Because...we just started talking and...he's in the shower right now" Amiya whispered.

"Are you going to join him?"

"No! I said no"

"Well do you want to...?"

"I don't know Nina but I like him...he's cute and those abs"

"Yummy..." Joked Nina and they laughed. "Perhaps you'll know when you are ready or not when you get inside there"

When Amiya had hang up the phone she was confident and ready to join Simon in the bathroom and she did. She walked inside the room, locked it and took off her clothes as she heard water splashing on the shower and then she opened the door slowly. Simon was naked, his hair was dripping wet and so was his whole body.

None of them said anything and they let their imaginations run wild. He took her hand and helped her inside the running water and stacked her on the wall, then he kissed her lips slowly and passionately. Amiya held him close as she trembled with every touch and every kiss he was getting into. His skin was soft and she felt good touching him as water run down on them "Let's go to the bed" He said, bit Amiya's earlobe and carried her in his arms as she moaned and yearned for him.

He was hard as a rock already, and before he inserted his manhood inside her. He whispered "This is going to hurt at first" and pushed himself inside as Amiya arched above the bed and sighed softly. She felt every inch of Simon and it did hurt at first, but then it turned to pleasure and she devour on to him as he thrusted himself inside slowly, until he picked up a race and they were all going crazy wanting one another and it ended when they both reach a climax.
