Please leave.

"Arnold please leave." She said bluntly.

"Why is that? did I hurt you?"

His question was absurd to her, she couldn't tell if he hurt her or not. Seeing what happened in her dream which almost seemed like a reality, Natalie had mixed feelings at that moment and didn't want to talk about it.

Maybe she should moan her Melissa self, or hate Arnold for his cruelty.

Arnold was ignorant and head out of the bathroom with speed, he took out a robe from the wardrobe. Shortly, he brought Natalie out of the bathtub and wore her the robe. Everything happened in a blink of an eye. If Natalie could express how she felt right now, she would curse him for being a vampire. He always took advantage of her using his speed. How could she reject a man as persistent as him?

She lay in the bed slowly with the help of Arnold. Natalie wished he would leave now so she could speak with Ariana, instead he cuddle her closely till she slept off.

Almost a week later at noon, Devin was with Natalie due to Arnold's request. He didn't want her to be lonely at home so he had Devin come over. It wasn't the first time, for the past few days Devin had been coming to visit Natalie.

"This Vampire is more good-looking than the other one who fucked you," Ariana said.

Natalie froze, what would make Ariana say much to her? She thought. She watches him arrive with two glasses of blood. He must have forgotten she didn't drink others' blood except Arnold's.

Devin placed the glasses gently on the table.

"one for me, and one for the pretty woman." He stated and Natalie smiled shyly.

"See what I told you, he's much nicer than the other guy."

Natalie clenched her fist tightly, Ariana was getting on her nerves.

"So..you promised to show me your powers?" Devin said.

"Yes sure, what should I do with it?" She asked and Devin made an awkward face and shrugged his shoulders.

"Anything, I want to see how you use it."

"Well, I'm not so perfect with it," Natalie said, raising a finger. He watched her control the blood from the glasses and they both switched places.

"Wow. cool," Devin said. He still couldn't believe Natalie had royal powers. Something he wished he always had. When Arnold told him about it, he thought it was a common exaggeration. but now he had seen it. She does have royal powers. It was hard for normal Vampires to use magic except they were born of royalty.

"Did Arnold's blood in you do this?" He asked and she grinned. "Maybe." She replied nonchalantly. She knew the source of her powers, but she couldn't reveal it to any of them. "Show him more of what you can do with my powers." Ariana bragged proudly.

"It's my powers now since you don't even have a body to show." Natalie retorted, making Devin stare at her.

"What did you say? where are you talking to me?" Devin quickly asked. He was in deep thought he didn't hear her.

"Nothing, just talking to myself."

"You dare to mock me for not having a body? why don't I show you what I can do with yours?." Ariana said, in a threatening manner, and before Natalie knew it, she found herself moving towards Devin.

She lost control of her body. Ariana took control of her body and was trying to make her do an absurd act.

"What's wrong? are you okay?" Devin asked watching her awkward movements.

Natalie managed to hold herself a bit.

"I told you not to mess with me."

"I know, I regret it. please stop now, okay."

She said inwardly, but it seemed nothing changed. Natalie stood up Abruptly. She attempted to Leave Devin and go to her room. Maybe she could talk some sense into Ariana without Devin suspecting anything. Instead, she lost balance and fell on him. But she couldn't leave him, she watched her hands trail themselves into his shirt and Devin pushed her off.

"What are you doing?" He yelled at her.

Natalie flushed in embarrassment and lowered her gaze. Ariana just made her seem like a pervert in front of Devin who she had a good friendship.

"I'm sorry." Natalie apologized quickly, and with no words to explain her action, she hurriedly left him in the living room.

In the vampire kingdom, A Bodyguard hurried into the king's chamber.

"Did you find him?" The king's bold voice spoke out, and immediately he noticed the bodyguard's presence in the room. A red silk curtain placed at the center of the big chamber demarcated them. The king sat in his comfortable gigantic red chair with golden edges. The king, who is Arnold's father had many Vampires sent out to the human world to search for his son, he received a signal a few days ago which made him believe Arnold is alive. The king had always known Arnold wasn't dead. Whenever he loses a child, he feels a terrible pain in his heart. But when he was told Arnold died, nothing happened. It was either Arnold wasn't his child, or he didn't die. But he was certain Arnold is his flesh and blood.

"We..we didn't find him, your highness." The Bodyguard trembled. whenever they face the king, they always had this chill feeling passing through them. The king made a rule, as long as they didn't find Arnold, they shouldn't come back alive.

"Then why are you here?" The king asked and before the Bodyguard replied, he was already standing behind him. with his blood tasty fangs showing out of his mouth. His claws are as sharp as a dagger. His hands crept slowly on the shoulders of the Bodyguard.

"We found someone else instead, a woman who has royal blood in her." He finally said.

"A woman? what has this woman got to do The prince?"

"Your majesty, we are currently investigating the woman and would soon get something on her."

"Soon? I don't want soon. I want it now. if you have proof that the woman is indeed involved with my son, give me proof." The king flared up angrily at the Bodyguard and then he dropped dead to the floor after being pierced with an oak knife.

"Someone, get this body out of here." He commanded, and two bodyguard's hurried inside.

"You, come here." He called one of them and he was obedient.

"What can you do to prove yourself worthy of serving me?"

The Bodyguard immediately kowtows at his feet.

"Your majesty, I can do anything for you even if it costs my life."

The king smiled at his bravery.

"Stand up and look at me." He ordered.
