"We need to talk. Right?" Adam turns to Nathan.
"How? Did you manage it already?" Emma said in disbelief.
Everyone else stood silent in shock and looked at Nathan and Emma.
Due to eyes staring for long at them, Emma shouts.
"If you and that jerk are only coming and talking, we will help you with it, but…"
"Oooh! Threatening me! I am already dead, you know." Adam teased Emma's words and winked.
"Urgh! What a pain in the ass."
Emma mumbled disinterested in his mocks.
"Nathan! Lets…" As Emma was about to turn and talk to Nathan, The Priest shouted,
"What the hell is going on? I don't allow those pesky vampires inside my temple."
"Your temple! You're mistaken, old goose. It's your duty to protect not own the temple." Jake said.
His words were distinctly clear to Emma and Nathan, what he meant but the rest of us were still in confusion and dark.
"Who are you telling the old goose, you bastard? I still have…"
"Ma'm, I respect your feelings but he's right and I guess you know it too one way or another."
"Who? Hmm! Who are you?"
"I am Nathan! And you can take me as the newborn king."
"Lycan King! I am honoured. But those…"
"Don't worry. I have a plan for these."
As The Priest was going to turn into werewolf, Nathan sends a telepathic message to her and calms her down.
"Emma! Handle the hidden pawn, I will escort them to the meeting room."
Nathan signalled to handle Vlad and come as quickly as possible.
"Let's go! This way…" Nathan points to the room and Jake and Adam walk with pride and arrogance.
Emma jumps towards the back of the temple in the east direction and disappears in an instant.
"How is the room?" Nathan asks Adam.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"I mean. It's your first time being held in interrogation so you might feel bad for it to be done in a bad room."
Nathan smirks and looks at The Priest.
She was ready for the signal and closed the door.
Suddenly the dark room filled with an even more dark eerie feeling but.
'Scratch!'
Nathan fires the match and lights the candle in the corner of the room.
His golden fur shining made him look like a golden statue in the sun but not only he was there in the form.
"The Priest! Wh-what are you?"
Adam shouts in shock and looks at others with awe in his eyes.
"Oh! I thought this child would be afraid to look at me but in contrast that jerk is in a beautiful pose, isn't it?"
The Priest said in a satirical and sly way.
"Jake!" Adam shouted.
He was white already being turned into a vampire but his face turned even whiter and pale in the shock and fear.
Frank, Alene, Douard and Ned, everyone were in their form and oozing out the blood lust for Adam and Jake but soon something unexpected happened.
"What? You're a vampire!"
Adam shouts again and the sound rang even harder in the tight room.
"Yes! What did you think of me? Huh?" Alene was fully in vampire form but her senses were tilting in and out with her werewolf.
Jake couldn't take such auras altogether and his vampire became wild and burst onto them.
"Aaaah! I will kill you all."
"Aaack!"
'Thud!'
But Adam hit him on his neck and knocked him unconscious.
"We wouldn't want any disturbance right?"
Adam too turns into werewolf and kneels in front of Frank.
"Hail to the king!"
He tilts his head up and looks at Nathan.
"Hail to the Lycan King!"
Adam shocks everyone out.
Everyone turns their form into defensive but Frank calms down and sighs.
"It was a hell of an act, Adam! I am proud of you. But we can't stay here for long. We need to welcome the guest."
Frank said in a calm voice.
***
In the woods, Vlad is running with the water he took from the Goddess's fountain.
"Stop!"
Emma shouts from behind and rushes to him in a hurry.
"Oh! Those weaklings couldn't hold you guys enough."
Vlad said.
"They are cooking their meals. I need one ingredient. So, I came here. Get ready."
Emma licked her tongue and charged at him.
Vlad jumped back but Emma closed in.
"Huh? Illusion!"
"Ha! Did you think only you know how to do that?"
Vlad looks at her surprised.
"Who are you?" He exclaimed.
"Find yourself in this punch." Emma disappears in front of him and appears from below hitting his chin hard and throws him in the sky.
But she doesn't stop there and jumps.
Seeing Emma come for him, Vlad takes out his vampire form fully and with wings he runs away.
After taking breath from hundreds of metres run, Vlad stands on one of the branches there and looks behind.
'Swoosh!'
Not even butterflies were seen. Calm and cold eerie environment made him even more uneasy.
'Srrrrrr!'
He felt someone behind and turned.
"Aaack!"
Emma was waiting behind and punched him hard as soon as he turned with her energy infused hands.
Vlad fell off the tree with a broken tooth out of his mouth and smashed onto the bush below.
Emma clicks her tongue and jumps to catch him before he stands up and runs.
She raises her hands towards him and blows energy out.
Vlad's body got covered in net-like things but groaning in pain.
"Why is my regeneration not working?" He thought.
"Regeneration, right?"
Vlad's eyes grew wide and looked at her with blood lust.
"How can you betray your own kin?" He was sure of her as a vampire and cursed her.
"You don't understand. I am not willingly doing it." Emma sulked down and sat down on the stone besides.
Vlad looks at her with fear and crawls back.
"Ah! I won't hurt you anymore if you forget to get back. Someone is waiting for you, you know! I mean Saria."
Emma said with a teasing face but Vlad's eyes became red like hot blood when he heard the name.
"How?"
Vlad groaned.
"Her soul and body are not destroyed yet. If you surrender yourself to me, I can help you find your love."
"How do you know about her?"
"She was one of my cutest and lovely servant's grand-daughter. How will I forget her?"
Emma showed something to him through telepathy and soon Vlad's eyes filled with rage and disgust.
"Okay! I will help you but…"
"Don't worry! I never break promises."
Emma's golden mark shines and Vlad yet again gets surprised.
"Lord Of Darkness!" He mumbled.
"Let's go! If you don't have anything to hurry for."
"No! Nothing. Absolutely nothing."
Vlad follows her without realising that through the power sense count Drake is watching him submit to Emma.
