"What did you just say? " Princess Avura asked with a funny look in her face. It was strange for anyone to compliment her. Infact her time in the cave had made sure she was less seen by anyone so Tyler calling her beautiful meant something very special to her.
"I said you are beautiful it is only unfortunate you are vampire" he chuckled as Avura threw a light punch to his stomach.
"Wow that's a strong punch from a woman" Tyler exclaimed in pretended pain.
"I actually know a lot about fighting. I just didn't want to resist when you captured me" Avura informed him as her mood suddenly changed when she remember her teacher master Dee.
She wonders if he survived the attack and how the king will take the news of her disappearance right under his watch.
"Why is that expression on your face? " Tyler asked curiously when he noticed the sad expression on his face.
"I am worried about My teacher who has been training me all these years. I don't know if he survived the blast and even if she did I don't know what decision my father will take agaisnt him since I was put under his care."
"Why will a princess be put under the care of one man? " Tyler asked curiously.
Avura began narrating the story of her life. She knew that was the only way Tyler will completely understand her and maybe trust her. As she narrated to the part Master Dee told her about the possibility of her being framed for the death of her mother tears gradually formed on her eyes as she imagined all her years of suffering was for a crime she knew nothing about.
She was still talking when she felt Tyler'body on hers. He could feel her pains and therefore thought of comforting her with a tight embrace. She immediately froze as she had never been heard that way by any man in her life.
"What are you doing? "she asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"I am trying to comfort you" Tyler pointed shocked at her questioned. He reasoned her time in the cave must have really taken alot from her.
"Is that the reason you made a statement about refusing to be framed again? " he asked picking it from her last statement she made about Master Dee.
"Yes, all my life I have suffered because I was framed. Today I almost lost my life because I was framed yet again. This word is cruel. All my life I have only learnt how to live in cage and how to control my reaper mode. I never know true love. The closest to a love one I have I don't even know his where about right now" Avura lamented as she resumed worrying about master Dee.
"Don't worry when We sort this issue of the vampires in the castle I will help you return safely to your people" Tyler tried to comfort her.
"You don't seem to understand? " Avura stated offended at his suggestion.
"Someone from among my own people has successfully framed me twice. Master Dee said he was conviced it came from the palace the first time. I am not stupid enough not to know that this also came from the palace. I have completed nine years of my training just few months to go and now I am far away from my kingdom with the murder of more than 200 hundred people slammed on my head. Do you really think going back to my people will be wise?" Sharon questioned with anger in face.
"Running from a fight doesn't solve anything. For instance they will surely get to know you didn't die and they will come back for you again" Tyler tried to reason with her.
"Yes I know, but I intend to stay far way from them as possible" Avura pointed out.
"That means who so ever is doing this has won. You are making them win even without fighting back. I have always thought vampires were ruthless I never knew I will meet one is as weak as you are" Tyler teased her in a bid to make her angry.
"I am not weak, I am just being cautious. I don't even know my enemies how can I now fight them" Avura reacted anger with by the fact she was called weak.
"And how will you know your enemies if you want to run from them. You must fight back and it is only then you can know them." He explained.
Avura could see he was making sense but she didn't know what to do. If master Dee was around he would have given her an advice on what to do.
"If you don't want to fight back for your sake then do it for your master's sake. Do it for the man who has been with you for the last nine years. Make him know that he didn't train you in vain" Tyler tried to light her up with his words.
He always disliked when people are being maltreated and he was determined to help her in her fight. But he couldn't explain why he was feeling specially angry for her. When he had wrapped her in an embrace he felt something he had never feel for any female. It was a special feeling he could not explain.
