Edwin leaped down a tree and landed beside the dead paled body of the blondie. He looked at Darren who was still struggling to stand up and was groaning in pain. Edwin turned his face and looked at Ambrosia. She was lying on the floor and not moving. He arched his brows as he walked closer to her.
"Ambrosia?" he called and squatted beside her. He touched her hand and his eyes widened in realization. She fainted. The vampire queen fainted. "What happened?" he asked with his voice filled with worries and panic. It was something that has never happened. How was it possible? How could she faint?
He swirled his head over to Darren and his brown bright eyes, changed it color to red, like that of Ambrosia. What had Darren done to make her faint? Edwin stood up and just like the flash of a lightning, he ran to Darren and punched him hard on his face, pushing him back the floor.
"What the hell did you do? What did you do to her?" He asked with shaky voice. The dark and devilish look in his eyes, was enough to frighten Darren as he moved back a bit trying to escape the coming danger from the man, but he was too weak to move another step. Edwin wrapped his fingers round his neck and tightened his grip, making it difficult for Darren to breathe. Darren struggled to get out of his grip, but his struggles were in vain. He wasn't able to breathe and so felt as if his lungs would burst out of his body in a couple of seconds.
"What did you do?" Edwin asked again, ready to kill Darren. He wanted to rip off his neck for harming Ambrosia but he couldn't. Even though he tries to kill him anyway, he won't succeed. Darren has the mark of Ambrosia on his neck. The only mark given to turned vampires who made a deal with her. All elites has that mark including Edwin. Darren is the only human to have that mark.
Ambrosia didn't transformed him into a vampire which was shocking and all the more provoked him, because he couldn't do anything to the man who harmed his sister.
He removed his hand from his neck and punched him on his face. Darren coughed and placed his hand on his neck, breathing roughly and heavily as he tried to steady his breath.
"I touched her hand and she fell unconscious." Darren finally responded, after calming himself down. He scoffed and raised his head up to look at Edwin. "You say that woman is strong but just a touch made her lose consciousness. Tsk tsk... that's disappointing. She is so weak," he added sadistically.
Edwin held his collar and raised his hand to hit Darren but stopped half way when he had a strong feeling engulfed him. He looked towards the western part of the forest and slowly stood up.
"Amby!!" he called in a panic. He looked at Ambrosia and back at Darren. "You take care of her. If anything happens to her, you won't remain alive to see the light of tomorrow," he threatened and limped away.
Even though he had wanted to kill Darren for harming Ambrosia, he still gave the responsibility of taking care of her to him. He doesn't know why he had given Darren his trust in taking care of Ambrosia.
Well, he planned on taking care of Darren later, but first he had to go look after Amby who is the weakest. Ambrosia is powerful enough to take care of herself.
.....
Twenty minutes ago before the forest incident....
AVRONE GAMING COMPANY
Amby walked in a hurry, on the third floor, towards the stairs. The second floor was filled with busy staffs, moving about. Just when she was about to take the first step of the stairs, she was stopped by the annoying person who she knew was about to spoil her day.
Joanna crossed her arms and glared at Amby. Definitely, she was in for trouble which Amby wasn't ready for as she had other things you take care of. She took a step to leave but Joanna stood in her way, stopping her from moving any further.
Amby rolled her eyes and leaned by the railing. "What do you want again, Miss Joanna?" She asked between her teeth, trying to suppress her anger.
"I am your boss remember, treat me with respect. Call me madam." Joanna informed. But Amby remained silent and gave her a glare. Joanna gripped her wrist tightly earning a low yelp from Amby, who struggled to remove her hand from Joanna's grip.
"Don't you glare at me again. I am your boss so treat me with respect." Joanna remained again and let go of her hand, pushing her away slightly.
Coincidentally, Amby felt her soul living her body slowly and her view was blurred. The world around her was spinning and her legs were growing weak. She looked at Joanna wanting to ask for help but in her blurry view, she saw a man standing there instead of Joanna. Everywhere went pitch black and her legs losed the last strength it had. She fell back, over the railing.
From a distance, Ramin saw his mistress falling to the ground and a shocked gasp escaped his lips.
He ran towards her and fell on the floor, allowing Amby to fall on him. The people seeing what had happened where all shocked and that made the first and second floor chaotic as everyone were gathering around to see what happened.
Ramin held Amby securely in his arms as he tried to revive her. She was cold in his arms which made him scared and worried. Since he became a turned vampire, he has never been scared the way he was seeing Amby in that state. He was given the responsibility to take care of her and now, he is worried she might be dead, under his care.
Luther ran downstairs, panting hard and not taking his eyes off Amby who was in the arms of a man trying to revive her. He wasn't bothered about the man but only about Amby.
When he saw her falling down to the first floor, his heart had stopped beating that moment. The world went dark and the walls around him seems to have broken into pieces when she fell. Without wasting a minute, he ran from his spot heading towards the stairs. His only concerned was Amby as he couldn't imagine what will happen to him if she dies.
Jumping down the last step, he ran towards her and squatted beside her. With shaky hands, he touched her arms, but was pushed away by Ramin whose glaring eyes will be enough to create a hole in a metallic wall.
"What do you think you are doing?" Ramin asked glaring at the man before him.
"She is hurt. She can't die." Luther answered in panic.
"You humans caused this and now you are showing concern?"
Luther stared at him for a while before he questioned, "Who the hell are you? Why are you holding her?"
Ramin smirked and looked at the man who pissed him off by that question. That question when his mistress is dying?
"Asshole." He muttered and touched Amby's face, but Luther shoved his hand away and gently moved his fingers on her cheek.
"How dare you?" Ramin asked and held the collar of Luther cloth. With a strength never experienced by the humans, Ramin slowly stood up with Luther and raised his feet above the ground, with his red eyes filled with anger.
Seeing the eyes, and the fangs growing out from Ramin's mouth, Luther was shocked and dumbfounded. The man before him could kill him so he struggled hard to let go of him.
Onlookers were taking a video of the scene and so forgot about the dying girl on the floor. The building was filled with the loud clicking sounds, and murmurs from the people as they watched the strange man, Ramin, trying to kill their boss's son, creating more chaos.
Ramin cracked his neck and focused his eyes on Luther. He raised his free hand to give him a punch, but a force held his hand back.
Slowly, he turned to look at the one who had stopped his little show and seeing who her was, his eyes went round and he released Luther, who was frozen, making him fall to the ground.
Edwin walked further into the building graciously with his hands behind his back and his eyes roaming about, looking at the frozen people.
Ramin looked around and saw everyone frozen, he took his gaze back to Edwin who was standing before him and bowed.
"You just exposed our secret, didn't you?"
