Getting on a bit of a serious tone Ellis replies, "Though I don't remember much, but the day father was killed. I remember it clearly. Zoravik plunged the silver dagger in his back."
"Ellis," says Edward shocked, "How come you were there. The servants were ordered to take and hide you. But I found you unconscious near the forest border a day after your father was killed."
Replying, Ellis says, "The servant who tried to hide me got killed so father hid me in an old tree trunk but when Zoravik attacked father he signaled me to leave cause he was afraid he won't be able to save me from Zoravik. Since I was small in size I managed to escape without being seen and ran as fast as I could till I dropped. Probably that's where you found me.
Not a single night goes by. I don't see my father signaling me to leave. Every night the helpless feeling of not being able to help him makes me angry and feel like an unworthy boy who could not save his father."
Dorothy keeps her hand on Ellis's shoulder and says, "Ellis, you were way too young and fragile at the time. What was a four year old vampire supposed to do? You knew nothing at that time. Bad, demons, possessiveness, jealousy, you never even heard these words. (In a proud tone) But, today if your father was alive, he'd be really proud of you. You've grown up and become the best."
Just then Edward comes over and says, "Dorothy let's leave the kids and let them get on with their routine. Mathilda also has her shop to run so, why don't you both go to the shop. I'll join you guys in a while."
Replying Dorothy says, "Oh, dear I totally forgot. If you're not at the shop people will get suspicious. Mathilda, why don't you go get ready, we'll leave then."
"Alright," says Mathilda "Jane dear please stay with the boys. Don't try being 'I can do on my own'. And, Ellis (Ellis turns towards Jane's mom), thanks for being there for Jane. Till now I was worried about her, her future. Ever since her father left her and then Ronny and his boys troubling her. She practically closed her doors towards boys. I don't blame her though, but finally she found the one to her heart. ('Mom', yells Jane, shocked and shy). Jane, you're my daughter, I can read you like a book. I can see the affection you have for Ellis."
Stepping forward Ellis takes hold of Mathilda's hand and says, "Aunt, I promise I'll always be by her side. You can stop worrying about her now. She's my worry from now on."
Smiling Mathilda leaves to get ready and in a while leaves with Dorothy for her shop. Edwards also leaves saying he has important work to do.
Finally the boys and Jane are alone.
The boys get up and go over to Ellis. Clive puts his hand on Ellis's shoulder and says, "Ellis, I'm sorry even though we were with you all the time, we didn't know you were suffering so much."
Adding Joel also says, "Yes, though wish you'd have trusted us earlier on. You wouldn't suffer alone. Man, you're our brother, you're suffering and we, always talking about parties and girls."
Denver comes over and says, "Ellis, I know you're going through a lot, but Jane's been really quiet since you said you know about choosing a vampire wife."
"Vampire," yells Ellis, "When did I say I'm choosing a vampire wife?"
Replying, Denver says, "Ellis, you said you know about having to choose a wife and have already….
Stopping Denver in the middle, Ellis turns towards Jane and sees she's in tears and says, "What! You too. Jane…. .
Before Ellis could complete his line they heard a Big Bang sound outside. Edward comes running down and says, "Clive, Denver take Jane and go to her moms room. Lock the door and stay till we come. Do not open the door for anyone. (Clive and Denver quickly take Jane's hand and run upstairs and do as told) Joel you come with us."
Ellis and Joel follow Edward. As they approach the main door Edward says, "Ellis, Dorothy saw some vampires coming to attack. She took the back door to get Orlando and the others. She's faster than me, and till she comes we'll hold them back. Hope I know they're vampires but trust me, they are weak. I could have gotten Clive to stay but, his blood has a sweet smell, it will cause trouble…
Replying, Joel says, "Uncle, please Ellis is our brother. I might not know martial arts but I can kick some butt."
As they open the door they see 20-30 vampires with bloody red eyes looking at them. One steps forward and says, "Well, well, if it isn't your highness the Cosmos ruler Ellis. Or should we say the pretending Cosmos ruler. You should have died with your father. Do you know how much we have to suffer cause if your stupid families stupid treaty. It's time to get rid of you so vampires can take over the world."
Edward steps forward and says, "Step forward and accept Ellis as your ruler and be soared or else be ready to fly into dust."
"Edward, you really like to dream a lot. Which era are you living in? It's been thousands of years since we had a ruler. Do you think any of us is going to accept this kid as the next ruler? So, he's the living memory of his father, but his father was the last ruler, today no one will accept."
"Raymond, no matter what you say or do, the truth stands in front of you. Your ruler, respect and accept."
Suddenly seven of the vampires leap at Edward and the boys. Ellis doesn't waste time and holds his fists together and says, "By the power bestowed upon me." and summons a cyclone that throws the vampires away like paper being blown away. Another five plunge forward but get put on a stance by Ellis freezing them where they stood.
The others didn't dare try anything. Soon one-by-one they began to bow down in acceptance of Ellis as the ruler.
