chapter 21 Encounter with the witch

From your dream,Ayden asked as he desperately wanted to know what she was thinking.

She nodded not saying a word still loooking at her dead father's face imprinted on the vampire king.

Your highness ,this is Alexa,Ayden said breaking the silence.

How dare you bring a mortal into my kimgdon,The vampire king roared as he regained his composure.

As my future wife she has that right,Ayden said challenging the king and alexa as they both stared at him.

Wife,The king muttered and internally smiled.

Finally he had a way to kill her if she was related to the late vampire warrior,before she goes berserk.

Yes ,wife,he said staring at Alexa with a smile hiding at the corner of his lips.

So you intend on getting married to a human,you're repeating past mistakes son,The vampire king said.

Son,Ayden scoffed.

You're seriously joking,so now am your son,when everything was wrong and only you could set it right, where were you?,you didn't do anything instead you let me fall in,be caged and now you even have the audacity to call me son ,Ayden said angrily as Alexa stared at him.

That was a long time ago,The vampire king said.

I know you are hiding something and let me tell you that i will find out what it is,Ayden said before he gripped Alexa hands firmly and dragged her out of the palace.

Sigh*So where are we supoosed to go now,He asked calmly but his eyes still held hidden anger .

Ar-are you okay?,she asked as she gazed into his eyes.

Sigh*Yes am fine,Ayden said as he was calming down.

So where to,he asked.

I-i really dont kn...,she got cut off by the golden glitter from the bracelet she wore and it created fog in the air and showed a forest...a particular forest.

The witch forest,Ayden said while still looking at the mist as it cleared.

Witch forest?,she asked.

Yes,its the forest before the witches land ,there use it to take cover in case of any unknown battle facing them,He said.

So we are to go there right...?,she asked .

Yeah,he said.

Before she could say anything else,he held her by her waist and said"hold tight",then she gripped him by his shirt and within a blink of an eye,he was gone.

He reappeared in the witch forest and looked at alexa who still had her eyes shut tightly tyen she loosened her grip on him as she realised that they arrived.

Come on,he said calmly as he stared at her.

Umm,she nodded as she followed him deeper into the forest , there they came across a witch,a beautiful witch to be precise.

She had long gloden coloured hair;which looked unique as she was different.

she had round shape eyes which was sparkling in the dark with long eyelashes and she had long elegant arms and legs which were beautiful to admire.

I am so glad to see you alexa,the witch said as she had her eyes closed meditating.

hmm,alexa nodded in approval.

she opened her eyes and stood up walking closer to them closely observing ayden as he was giving his I -don't -care-what's-going-on-face,then she stared at alexa deeply as if wanting to suck out her soul with her eyes.

Alexa shivered as she was frightened,ayden didn't care much ,he just held her to stay put and not worry.

Ar-are..yo...u the witch fr...om my dr..ea..m?,alexa asked stammering.

Well of course,she answered still looking at alexa.

You..lo..ok... noth.....ing ...li...ke...th..at,alexa said.

We use disguise to enter humans dreams...,she said as she was immediately cut off by ayden.

I would love to seat around and talk but we don't have time,ayden said .

You...you're a vampire,the witch said.

To be precise ;half vampire,but this has nothing to do with me,ayden said.

witches and vampires are sworn enemies,how dare you step foot here,the witch angrily said .

sigh*as long as you don't tell your queen that i came,we are good but for now answer my questions,ayden said looking at alexa.

i thought she was the queen,alexa whispered though she didn't know the witch could hear her.

and what makes you think that,Ayden said.

because i am the queen,the witch said.

yikes* spoke to soon,ayden whispered to alexa.

Witch queen ,we need answers,ayden said now fustrated.

Now tell us why you always gave alexa sleepless nights,ayden asked curiously.

she does sleep in the night,the witch said.

the bracelet she wears puts her back to sleep after what you call a nightmare,she added.

Really?,he asked looking at alexa.

Hmm,she nodded saying yes .

So why?,he asked.

I would not like to discuss it in the presence of a vampire.... half vampire,she corrected.

There is no fu*king way i am leaving her with a witch,ayden said not minding his tone.

please leave,the witch queen said calmly .

I am not leaving this place without her,he said which annoyed alexa because she came her for answers not to fight.

I said leave vampire prince,she said calmly once again.

Don't let me throw you out,she added.

Huh*,he scoffed.

I would love to see you try,he added which was making alexa burn.

Please stop,alexa yelled finally talking after a long time of silence.

Stop it...please,she said while covering her ears.
