Chapter18 of chapter 5 The death end

"I don't want to listen to any one!" Isabella yelled before barge into the room. She was still frighten that her best friend was killed and no one dare to tell her. 

"You have to believe me Lady Isabella. The Duke never wants you to feel bad. He knows you'll be in a bad condition as soon you find out what happened to your friend" lady Pearl tried to explain her path to the girl but her mind was make up! 

There nothing anyone have to say that would change her mind. The Duke lied to her and also as everyone else! 

"I never want to hear anything about that Duke! " She retorted and smash a vase of flowers on the ground. " No... ! Emma can't be dead"  she breaks down in tears. The one person that show her love and stood by her all these years was killed all because of her! 

Emma wasn't just a friend to her but also a sister. A sister that was cherish more. She was the first person that help her despite the difference skin color them both had..

Isabella cried so hard, her memories of Emma begin beside her comes into reflection. She miss her, she missed her best friend. 

"Isabella" a gentle voice call behind her. She turn and it was Lily who seem break down in tears too. 

"I know you're feeling sad on what happens to Emma. So am I. She is just not your friend only but also my friend too. Believe me Isabella. I am going to miss her but I am afraid to lose another friend" Lily said between her streaming tears. 

"I am..." Before she could complete her words, Isabella grabs her into a tight hug. She had lose Emma now but she had Lily. 

Lady Pearl stood aside watching the two girls on her hug. She smiled. at least, all she had wish for has finally comes to an end. The Duke have found his missing rid also with Marcus. With these two girls besides them , she believes they would be happy. 

"Lady Olive, it has been done" she said and turned. Just to leave the room for the girls to have their times together. But something stop her, a dark figure was standing at the entrance of the room door. 

The room was little shading for her spot the complete image of the figure. 

"Milord" she bowed. "Your lady is in good shade. All she needed is love and care. And she would get over the death of her friend." She said respectfully. 

" I see" the figure said but didn't sound like the Duke voice. Lady Pearl have lived all her life with Duke right from his little age until this day. She can tell what no matter. His voice will always be heard by her..

"You're not the Duke. So who are you!" She snapped. Who is the fool that wants to go to his grave early. This is the Duke room have only granted access to the Duke and not some outsiders! 

The man in the dark laughed mischievous. That make lady Pearl wonder.  His laughter sounds familiar to the ear. Will it be possible this might be... No! That can never happened as far I know Oscar is scared to come close to the Mansion. 

With the laughter of the man. Isabella and Lily attention draws to lady Pearl who was standing few inches away from the door. 

"Lady Pearl, what the problem?" Isabella asked while getting up from the ground she had laid on. 

"I have you told. Who the hell are you! Do you want to died? This is the Duke room and n idiot are allowed to enter!" Lady Pearl roared getting irritating with the man laugh. 

"You have never change Pearl is should I said my pearl"  the figure emerges from the dark and his fee was reveal.  

The man in the dark was no one but Sir Oscar! 

Lady Pearl steps a bit backwards, she couldn't believe the bastard was back after these years he had runs away.  She felt shattered that her nightmare was back from the death. The man that torment her and the man that wants nothing but the Duke death! 

A mischievous smile was washed on his face as he steps a little further. " You look more pretty than the last years we seen. I must say the  Duke do take good care of you. His late father mistress" 

Lady Pearl wasn't in her right state as all she could feel fear.  Oscar is not a gentle man either, he just like a demon send to destroy the life of people. 

His eyes darted around and saw the two girls behind lady Pearl. A wicked smile curled on his lips. 

"What do we have here? The new duchess?" 

At once lady Pearl walked to the girls and cover them behind her. 

"Lady Pearl who is he?" Lily asked worriedly. The way the man was looking at them makes her look scared. 

"Why are covering her highness pearl? Don't you want me to see who our cold Duke fall for? " 

" Who are you and what do you want!" Isabella voice retorted behind lady Pearl. 

"Oh my goodness, the black finally have mouth to speak just because she had warmed up the bed of the Duke. Not bad at all to master your duchess power" the man eyes winkle to red as he glanced at the women wildly. 

"Please I begged you. Don't do anything to them if you have against the Duke, to it go me" lady Pearl plead. She knows what kind of person Oscar. A man greedy and obsess with power and wealth. 

He only get closer to the late Duke to possessed the power of the night creature. He wants to become one of them in order for he to have power.  Becoming one of them wasn't not, he greed more for power. He wants to be the head of the night creature and in order to gain that position. The Duke had to died! 

"You foolish woman. You think you can deceive me more again after the love you betrayed!" 

Before lady Pearl could process a thing, Oscar was already standing right in front of her. 

"You deserve nothing but death Lady Pearl. Just like your stupid black mother Lady Grace" he whispered softly to her ear..

" You should have seen the way I bit on her, watch her scream until she died. It was one of the best moments ever. Hahaha!" 

He....was the one who killed lady Grace. That's means lady Grace was killed by the late Duke instead it was the man she fall in love with. 

" You bastard!" 

Meanwhile, the Duke was up the stairs with Marcus. After the news have been passed to him. He can't allow that bastard to lay his hands on his woman! 

"Marcus, make sure everywhere is secure! "

" Yes milord!"

******

In the Duke chamber...

" I will never let you get away with what you have done!" Lady Pearl retorted. 

" Of course I know"  he grabbed on her neck without a second thought. His sharp looking fangs appear from their hidden spot and pierced in the neck of lady Pearl. Dripping out all the blood in her. 

"Ahh!" Isabella and Lily scream. They have seenna night creatures before. She thought the vampire only appears in stories not have she thought that are real. 

"Run Isabella run!" Lady Pearl scream out despite the fang deep in hee skin. Even though she died today, she died to know the truth that the late Duke never killed lady Grace and she had stood ok the right side all her life. 

She smiled. " I will miss you Arthur" a soft whisper came out of her lips before she gave up the ghost. Isabella and Lily stand rootless on the floor. 

They were lost and thoughtless. Did he just killed her? They thought to themselves. 

Oscar who have gotten the satisfaction of  her death simply let her go. 

He wipe the blood shed from his face and lick on his finger like he was devouring a sweetest wine. 

"Now, who's next?" 

"Stay away from her you monster!" Lily barks standing in front of isabella, she would never let that monster come close to her friend! 

"Haha" Oscar laughed like the devil himself. 

"I would mind killing the two of us. Besides, you are also an enemy. Anyone who stood for the Duke is consider as enemies of mine" 

" And you are a monster!" 

Oscar stood to take a good look on the little girl that rising her voice at him. She isn't bad to be keep as pet but too bad he doesn't have  a feeling for that now. He looked behind the girl with blonde hair and his red eyes flickered at the black girl with beautiful blue eyes looking down to the dead body of lady Pearl. Such a black beauty. He confess the Duke know how to go for women just like his useless father! 

She was speechless and confused. Why does the man wants to kill her? What have she done  to him?  She wonder. 

"You're his source of power and also his weak. If you died? It would be better for all" Oscar said sarcastically. 

He was enjoying the nervousness on the girl face. He can simply hear what the girl was thinking. 

Isabella lit her face up to the beast. "You say what?".

"You heard exactly what I said. The Duke have be betrothed to you right for the time you both were born. You're his cure and also his power and weak. You clearly remember your past life with him..but too bad I am always there to put an end to your reunion"

What is this man saying? Isabella asked inwardly. 

"You want to tell me you never remember your past with him. He belongs to you and you belong to him, being with him will only cause more harm to the people you love. If you died now. Everything would go back to be normal. Just surrender yourself my precious gem. Don't your mother tell you never to support evil?" 

Isabella stared blankly at man. She could remember some of her vision with the Duke standing in the fire with her but never had she thought things like that. Is there more between her and the Duke? 

Oscar who saw the girl was thinking, give him more chance to walk closer. 

"Stay back!" Lily retorted but that didn't stop the man from coming closer. 

"Just surrender yourself and I would kill your friend with parrot mouth now" quickly he grabbed on Lily neck trying to suffocating her.

"Please stop!" Isabella said, stopping Oscar make more steps to kill Lily. 

",Kill me instead" she cried. "I don't want anyone to be kill because of me. You want me right?" 

Oscar smile victoriously. What he have been waiting for all his life. To kill her once again the source of the Duke power. He loves it when it keeps repeating it. Nothing matter to him not even the death of the woman he had once love. 

Simply Isabella kneels down before him. "Please have me" she said, and close her eyes. Tears runs down like a stream. The only thought that comes into her head was the Duke. 

She had come to realize he was a part of her . "I love you Arthur" she muttered. 

Oscar smile mysteriously and loose go of Lily who fall into consciousness. 

"Your death will be good news to everyone" he said and pinned out his long fangs..

Just that moment, a wild wind blowing into the room. Destroying the door and a man with black wings and dark red eyes appears in the room..

"How dare you touch her!" His voice sounds like thunderous rages of the ocean. 

Oscar turn and bewildered. "It can't be true. He have fully transform into the complete beast. But how can that be possible when the girl isn't pregnant yet or him might have bedded her. It was say when the beast bedded the mistress the curse is broken!" Oscar thought inwardly. 

" You dare touch my woman!" 

Oscar shudder but he never wants to back out just yet. He has come to far to back down. 

"You will never be the king!" 

Arthur smirk devilishly. "Too bad, I am already the king " 

Oscar runs fast in a flash to attacks him but only end up getting pick by himself. 

Isabella eyes were close tight. She could heard two voices, sounds of fighting and smashing in the room but she was too scared to open her eyes. She just stood stillness on the floor, waiting for death to come and take her Life. 

Arthur Keeps on punching hard on Oscar who seem powerless.  If he would have kill the black girl on time. The Duke wouldn't he be this powerful. This all his fault! 

He tried all he could but the beast was more powerful than him. There nothing he can do. The boy have possessed the strongest power from his father. The one the late Duke refused to shared with him. 

"Arthur!" Isabella called suddenly while crying. "please come to me" she cried. 

Suddenly, Arthur stops, he doesn't want to kill Oscar now. He wants his death to be painful and torment. 

"Grauds!" He called to his men and they quickly ran in along with Marcus. 

"Get this bastard to the dungeon of death!" 

Quickly the men grab on the beaten man on the floor who couldn't rises up a muscle. 

While Marcus reach to Lily who fainted on the floor. 

Arthur spear a look on lady Pearl body. He gritted his teeth angrily. "I make sure he pay barely for your death. I am sorry I never came in time"  he has lost the one person that watch grow up. He sighed. 

His eyes shifts to the side of the shrivering woman calling on to his name. 

"Arthur!" She continue calling until she felt herself lifted up on his arms and passed out.
