Chapter 4 - The Clock Ticked Again [I]

In a flying red cloud, a six- or seven-year-old girl woke up "Hey, I was sleeping after mommy told me the bedtime story... what happened?"

The little girl was a little confused, if it was dreaming or if it was the reality she was in, but one thing was for sure, she felt warmth emanating from the red cloud she was riding, but the texture was not soft as described in books, the little girl only felt warmth, she did not feel any object holding her; it was like the red cloud, made of warm energy.

The energy that she knows had forgotten a long time ago but still does not remember.

"Lady Master, you are awake." Said a sweet, childish voice near her ears.

"Who are you? Are you going to play with me?" The innocent girl said expectantly, for despite looking so cheerful, she does not have many friends.

Giggle.

"Little Master, if you make me wake up, I'll play with you." The voice replied with a tinge of excitement.

"Okay, how do I wake you up?" excitedly the girl agreed without hesitation. The poor thing was eager to have sincere friends to play with, not those who would ask her questions about her Mommy, or bulling her for having red patches in some parts of her hair, differing from the others.

"You must become the Supreme Leader of your Vampire Clan to find me and wake me up completely," spoke the voice.

But as it said that, the little girl deflated all her spirits. "To be the Leader, I have a long time to go, Mommy is in that position." And she said sadly.

"No, since the First Leader there has been no Supreme Leader, your Mommy is only a Leader but, neither she nor her predecessors have the right to be called Supreme." Said the voice with disdain and conviction, he sounds adorable when he speaks, that even the girl felt it was a cute child's voice.

"I understand a little, so you say my Mommy is only a leader but not a Supreme Leader?" she asked somewhat confused, but the question gave her the answer.

"Yes, that's right. You are the direct descendant who should have the responsibility to unite the Flame of Power, which was decided the moment you were born, I was just waiting for your Mommy to tell you the story, and you could understand it."

"Oh, so you heard what Mommy told me right?"

"Yes."

"If so, where were you?"

"Inside your soul, my soul resonates."

"Oh?"

"My dear Amara, I have little time, remember to search your soul for me, you will recover your memories, and you will know what to do, but to search your soul..." the voice heard farther and farther and farther until nothing more could hear.

"Who are you?" Cried little Amara, but she got no answer.

"How do you know my name? No one knows my proper name, everyone calls me Mara, Mommy said that only My Fated Mate can know it and so can the Flame, but before I didn't understand... now, I think I understand... you are..."

Waking up, the little Mara, looked around and realized that she was back in her room, and immediately went and look for her Mommy, in order to understand several things.

When looking for her Mommy, she didn't find her; she got nervous because she never left without telling her anything; she looked all over the Mansion where they lived together, there were several maids to whom she asked, but none of them knew anything.

"Have you seen Mommy?"

"No, little lady, we haven't seen her come out of her room."

Little Mara went to her mother's room, knocked and knocked, but no one opened the door, she has always been naughty and being so; she learned how to open the doors without the keys, but she had to do it with someone's supervision so, she dared not do it for fear of being punished by her Mommy.

So, she went to find the Housekeeper who enthusiastically followed her to Lana's room.

When she opened the door, they both screamed at the same time.

"AAH! MOMMY!!!"

"CLAN LEADER!"

In the middle of the room sitting on her bed was the body of what was once the Vampire, Clan Leader Lana whose real name was Alana, her body was pale, her chest open, and inside her chest, where her heart should be, was empty, there was nothing.

When the other servants of the Mansion heard the screams, they ran identifying that the scream said clan leader; it meant that it was the room of the leader, the speed of a Vampire is not something to look down upon.

When the maids arrived at the entrance to the room, they saw the little lady kneeling on the floor with her hands over her mouth, her eyes full of tears, in shock.

And the Housekeeper stunned by the sight, her eyes full of tears, it was as if she was petrified, some maids were frightened and didn't dare to look inside the room, others were brave enough to approach, but when they got close, they were frightened and screamed at the top of their lungs.

***

In the Mansion's basement, there was a cell with a golden coffin, upon hearing the scream the coffin burst open and a man with white porcelain skin and a handsome face with red hair came into view, in an instant he opened his mesmerizing silver eyes, too bad that no one was there to welcome his awakening. But his coffin was in a special cell, so even though he could get out of his coffin he could not get out of his confinement.

"Sigh, it began." Said the indifferent man in a melodious voice that echoed in the cell.

***

When the rest of the maids screamed Mara regained her senses, and quickly approached her Mommy, whom she touched delicately, taking her hand, she was cold, her Mommy's body was cold, and upon closer inspection, her eyes were wide open, it was as if she had been frightened in shock; her mouth open, which expelled a purple foam.

Mara was frightened to see her mother like that, she didn't cry anymore, but the shock was too much, and she fainted.
