Chapter 7 - You're full of surprises

"Pieces of shit like you, should just die. "

Victoria ran at full speed towards Scurry, and before he could even move away, a heavy swing of a fist hit his face. One hit from Victoria's punch and Scurry was down.

Silence just filled the area as everyone eyed on Scurry twitching on the floor. Ellen's jaw dropped open and the two buff men could barely even hide their maniacal expressions.

"Leave. " Victoria spoke.

All of Scurry's men looked at her in complete shock.

"Are you ignoring me again?"

Victoria raised her head, her eyes glowing bright purple and her teeth turning into fangs.

"I. SAID. LEAVE. "

The air around Victoria became heavy, and a dark, ominous creature came out of her. This time, like scared rats, all of Scurry's men ran away from the scene, leaving Victoria, Ellen, Vince and the two men behind.

Ellen continued to stare at the dark creature that surrounded Victoria. His face stiffened in utter shock and disbelief.

*I thought the Everdeen family were subjects of The Kingdom of Light? How could she posses Dark magic?*

Ellen walked towards Victoria, his legs relaxed and careful, but he did not walk with comfort, but with fear.

"Victoria, are you....still there? "

Ellen spoke, but Victoria did not answer.

*Gulp *

Ellen raised his hand towards Victoria. At the touch of his hand, Victoria flinched. She turned to face Ellen, her eyes glowing purple.

She moved closer to him. Her face only inches away from his. Ellen's ocean blue eyes, locked with Victoria's, her eyes looking as though it belonged to a beast. Victoria moved even closer to Ellen, her mouth drooled at his smell. Victoria's eyes wandered on Ellen's neck.

"You- you need my blood?" Ellen asked, his face completely red.

Victoria's eyes widened, her face looking confused.

"It's okay. It's normal for vampires to want blood when they awaken. "

Ellen moved his shirt and left his neck wide open for Victoria. Victoria's eyes filled with hunger, her mouth drooled and she sunk her fangs deep into his skin. His body flinched at the pain, but he endured it.

"Argh, Victoria....please.... Slow down."

The two men in the background grabbed a popcorn and enjoyed the view. While Vince was still fast asleep and unconscious on the ground.

At first, Victoria listened to Ellen and slowed down. But then she sunk in too deep and the taste of Ellen's blood was too much, that she couldn't control her desires anymore.

"Victoria! Stop! That hurts! "

Ellen struggled with moving Victoria away. As he tried to make Victoria let go of his neck, Victoria just sunk her fangs deeper and deeper.

"Please....Victoria... I-"

Ellen's view was fading, his eyes were drooping and his body was losing balance. As Victoria's weight pressed on Ellen, they both started to fall onto the ground. With the remaining consciousness left in Ellen, he catches himself before he hit the ground, he then turned and pinned Victoria to the floor. Victoria's eyes glared at Ellen, and her mouth filled with his blood.

"I'm sorry Victoria, but I have to do this to you. "

Ellen placed his hand on Victoria's forehead. A soft glow of light came out from his hand and caused Victoria to sleep. Ellen sighed with relief and laxed his neck.

"So is the boss a top or a bottom? " the man with a tattoo commented.

Ellen faced the man, his eyes darting at him.

"Sorry boss! He didn't mean that!" The man beside him reassured and picked Vince up from the floor.

Ellen looked back at Victoria, noticing his blood dripping from her mouth. He looked down at her body and noticed that her shirt was opened quite a lot, almost revealing her chest.

He closed her shirt back up, but what really surprised him was that there was not a single cut on Victoria's body. Her clothes, despite being dirty and sweaty, had not a single scratch. Even from their fight, when he thought that he could land a blow on her, she quickly swerved and dodged his sword.

*She's so full of surprises*

Ellen grabbed Victoria and hoisted her up on his back.

"I'll help you with My Lady, boss!" the tattooed man offered.

"No. I'll carry her. " Ellen replied.

The trio continued to walk forward until they reached a group of knights who were in search for Lady Victoria and Lord Vince.

As Ellen called for them, the Duke of the Everdeen household himself, went near Ellen and his men.

"Why is my daughter in your hands boy? " The Duke spoke. His voice fierce and intimidating.

"Your daughter has awakened Sir. My men and I were just here to escort her and her brother back to your manor. " Ellen replied as he held tightly to Victoria.

The Duke signaled the knights to take Victoria and Vince away from Ellen and the two men.

"I would reward you for your noble deed, but I'm afraid I didn't bring anything with me as of the moment. " The duke said.

Ellen looked at the Duke. His uniform completely covered on golden brooches and trinkets.

*Yeah right.*

"It's quite alright My Lord, we do not need your reward. "

"Oh, but I must reward the men who escorted my son and daughter back to me safely! "

The knights started to surround Ellen and the two men.

"Plus, you've seen my daughter awaken! I couldn't possibly let you go now, I feel as though I've been robbed of the moment! "

The Duke gazed on Ellen and looked down on him. It's clear that the duke was suspicious of Ellen and his men.

"I suggest we head over to mansion for some tea Huh? You can get you rewards there! So? What'dya say boy? "

*No.*

Ellen had no desire to stay with the duke. He knew that if he accepted his invitation, he'd just be walking right into a trap with little to no escape.

Ellen clasped his hands together, a bright glow of light came from his hands.

"What is this?! "

The Duke exclaimed as he covered his eyes. The light from Ellen's hands became brighter and brighter, almost blinding! Everyone near the presence of Ellen had to close their eyes from the brightness of his light.

Then the light became dimmer and dimmer, until it completely disappeared. But as soon as everyone opened their eyes, Ellen and his two men were gone.

The Duke's eyes were wide open, it was as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing, or at least what he was not seeing.

"Was that a-"

"Sir! "

The Duke was interrupted.

"Do you want us to search the perimeter Sir! "

One of the Duke's knights asked.

"No. Let this one go. Make sure to assemble guards just outside the manors edge and increase security. " the duke commanded.

"Yes sir!" All of the Dukes men said in unison.

As the knights rode their horses back to the estate, the Duke looked back at the forest. His eyes looking suspicious and glaring.

*That boy*

The Duke thought.

*Does not belong in that forest.*
