Dark Witch

The Grand Gate slowly opened and there it was .The people standing there in huge numbers.

Three dead bodies laying Infront of them with an old Woman hugging one of them .

Nicholas clicked his teeth ,his eyes scanned the Now quiet Crowd.

"Good Day to You...Your Highness "The people greeted simultaneously with deep respect .

The King Nodded his head

"Rise "He commanded in his powerful voice .

The People lifted up their heads ,pains clearing written over their faces .

Their eyes looking at him in expectations ,They don't dare talk without his approval .

"Who is the Village Head??"The King asked calmly and the crowd splited into two , creating a passage and an Old Man came through .He was dressed in an expensive attire showing off his rank .

"My King"The Man said respectfully falling down on one knee and his head bowed .

The King squinted his eyes at the Man .

"You May rise "The Old Man quickly stood up .

"You May speak"The King added again .

The People silently waited for the Village Head to speak ,even though they wanted to vent out their angers and frustrations,They dare not make any sounds without his permission.

"Your Highness,Huge calamity has fallen up the people My King. .....We kept having huge records of people dying mysteriously and getting missing ."The Village Head started and the people nodded in approval.

"This Three Men...."The Village Head pointed at the Men laying on the cold floor.

"They were found dead by the River ,My King ....And this really is affecting the people .They are all complaining My King "The Village Head finished .

Murmurings filled the Hall , everyone now voicing out their opinions.

The King watched in silence ,his eyes making rounds on the people before it's finally landed on the Old woman crouched down beside one of the dead Bodies .

"Quiet!!!!"The King resonated ,His voice resounded in the Hall.The People immediately quiet down ,their eyes back on their King.

"You don't have to worry your selves ,This issue is going to be taking care of very soon .I assure you "The King Said Calmly and Reassuringly .

The People pursed their lips ,they have no choice but to believe him.

They always trust their King ."Thank you My King ....We believe in you "The Village Head replied with respect,He bowed his head .

The King nodded ,He turned and his eyes met with Nicholas .

He turned back then walked away .

"Farewell Your Highness "The People chorused as the King walked back inside .The Large Gate closing behind him .

Nicholas stayed behind ,He climbed down the platform His arms behind his back .

The People were already trooping out of the Hall , Murmuring.

The Hall finally emptied ,Except the Dead bodies and the Old Woman .

Nicholas stopped Infront of her ,he crouched down to her level.

"Nana"Nicholas called slowly and gently. His Aura didn't compliment his Calm voice.

The Old Woman slowly looked up ,her eyes were stained with tears .

"You need Any help ....Madam?"Nicholas said gently.The Old Woman scoffed ,her eyes filled with anger .

"Bring Back my Grandson....You monster"She growled angrily .

Nicholas squinted his eyes .

"Am Sorry Ma'm....But all this isn't our fault.We promise to find Solution to all this "Nicholas said firmly .He wasn't going to let this Woman continue ranting out nonsense ,he couldn't afford someone hating the Kingdom .

The Woman scoffed "As if I would believe you .You guys are all bad Guys ...I swear I will get revenge on you "The Woman spatted hatefully ,her eyes glaring at Nicholas with anger.

Nicholas sighed harshly,He wasn't the type that have alot of self control .He quickly stood up from his position.

He waved over some soldier .

"Please Kindly guard this woman home ,She looks tired to me "Nicholas said Emotionlessly.

"Okay My Lord "The Soldier said respectfully ,He bent down and tried to assist her but she jacked his hands off her , glaring at him .

"Am going to kill you ,If you come close to me "The Woman threatened Harshly ,her brown eyes turning black.

"My Lord??"The Soldier turned to Nicholas confused . Nicholas sighed.

"Lead her home "Nicholas said ,not so calmly again .

Nicholas turned around to go back inside when he heard a pain wrecking Scream.

Nicholas steps paused,he quickly turned and his eyes met with a different looking Woman probably in her 40's.Her hair was long and too dark.

His eyes squinted seeing the blood in her mouth ,her eyes turned into a shallow black hole with nothing in the socket .

Her face was messed up and far too Old.

His eyes went from the Woman to the dead Soldier lying on the floor ....Now Dead ,his body looked as if it's has been dead for three days .

"Damn Dark Witch"His Eyes turned Cold in disgust...if there is anything hated most in the Kingdom , It's was Dark Witches.

"I told you ,I will take revenge"The Woman said in a blood chilling tone ,She licked her lips wiping away the blood ,her eyes cunning as she stared at Nicholas with hatred .

"Let see how you do that"Nicholas whispered , Immediately the words left his mouth .

The Woman launched at him in fierce attack .

Before the Woman could get closer to him ,he quickly waved her attack creating a distance between them ,the Woman squinted her eyes at him .

"Vampire???"THE Woman spatted with disgust . Nicholas gaze darkened .

Not many people knew he was a vampire because he was a half- breed vampire and his vampire genes rarely show .

"You are one of the people I have to take care of "The Woman added ,she flashed her hands at him ,her extremely long and strange looking nails ready to attack him .

"Haaah"A Scream excaped her mouth ,her weird eyes widen in shock looking at Nicholas before she fell flat on the floor like a dead rat .

"You should have shut her up real quick.....She talk too much for my liking"A Boring Voice said ,an arrow in his left hand while his right hand ran through his hair .

"Prince Zayn.....You are back"Nicholas slowly said,his eyes meeting with the crown prince of the kingdom.

Zayn smirked playfully "Missed me??"

Nicholas pursed his lips and didn't reply back .

He squatted beside the Woman , checking her .An arrow drilled in her back .

"She's fine ,She will up in the next two days ,....Take her to the dungeon"Zayn said nonchalantly then turned back and walked into the palace . Nicholas nodded .

He stood back up then signalled two soldier to take care of both bodies .He followed behind the Crown prince ,Both didn't bother exchanging words .
